The feeling was so painful that it became a muscle memory for her.

Scenes from her deathbed in her past life flashed before her eyes. Back then, this man had strangled her from behind, causing her brain to suffocate.

In that instant, Shen Zhihuan felt the threat of death.

Pain and resentment filled her mind, and before she fought back with all her might, her eyes remained fixed on the face of the man in front of her.

She wanted to remember his face so that even if she died and became a vengeful ghost, she would seek revenge on the murderer who had harmed her.

But to Shen Zhihuan's surprise, she didn't die in the end, and even got a chance to live again.

In this life, she was loved by the Xie family, which was so much better than the torment she had suffered in her previous life.

The mundane life even gave her the illusion that the past battles had already passed her by.

At this moment, Shen Zhihuan saw her enemy once again, and the memories buried deep in her mind were awakened again.

She swore on her own integrity that she could never mistake this figure and appearance.

This man was the villain who harmed her in her past life, but perhaps they met too early this time, and the hideous scar on his face was not yet there.

Shen Zhihuan's complexion was so bad that even if she wanted to hide it, she couldn't.

Upon seeing this, Song Xunying quickly reached out to support her, her eyes filled with worry.

"Why has your face suddenly turned so pale, Miss Chen? Don't try to hide it from me. Are you feeling unwell?"

"These past two days, you've been going to the hospital all the time to treat Mingqian and the others, and you've often had to stay up late. Aren't you exhausted?"

Shen Zhihuan shook her head. Her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts, and she couldn't say anything. She could only grip Song Xunying's hand tightly, grit her teeth, and barely manage to squeeze out a few words.

"Aunt Song, stop asking and let's leave here first."

Song Xunying looked back at the empty corridor behind her. Although she didn't know what had happened, she trusted Shen Zhihuan completely. Upon hearing this, she quickly shut her mouth and helped Shen Zhihuan walk forward.

Only after the two groups had separated by a considerable distance did Pei Ji remove his helmet and whistle dismissively.

"Today was only my first time here to scout the place, and I actually bumped into Shen Zhihuan. I'm really lucky."

In his eyes, Shen Zhihuan was nothing more than a woman who was powerless and posed no threat whatsoever, nor did she deserve to be treated with any respect by him.

The most important task now is to gather information. In order not to alert the enemy and attract the troops, Pei Ji does not plan to take action in a hurry.

He already knew that Song Mingqian was in the centralized observation room, but because there were medical staff watching over him 24 hours a day, he couldn't go in directly and could only walk around the floor a few times.

After getting a general idea of ​​the terrain, Pei Ji even went to the door of Lin Banxia's ward according to the address he had found out.

Lin Banxia's body had not fully recovered, and she spent most of the day in a drowsy state.

She lay on her back on the bed with an IV in one hand, looking extremely unwell; it was clear she was quite ill.

Ideally, this state should be maintained, which would save them a lot of trouble when they need to take action.

Pei Ji leaned against the doorframe with one hand and chuckled sinisterly.

Lin Banxia, ​​who was fast asleep in the ward, sensed the danger and frowned.

She is exceptionally beautiful; even though she is over 40, she remains an elegant and stunning woman.

Pei Ji's eyes flickered. Seeing that no one was in the ward, he was about to step in when someone grabbed his shoulder from behind.

Who are you looking for?

A male doctor who had just finished his rounds noticed his strange behavior and asked him suspiciously:

"Are you a patient's family member? I've never seen you before."

Pei Ji quickly put his helmet back on, coughed several times in a low voice, and pretended to be very weak.

"Cough...cough cough...I'm not a patient's family member, I'm here for a medical checkup."

“I’m a worker who works nearby. I’ve been coughing for over a week and have taken a lot of medicine but it hasn’t gotten better, so I thought I’d come to the hospital to get it checked out. But your hospital is so big that I got lost as soon as I came in and I don’t know where to go.”

Hearing how badly he was coughing, the doctor quickly gave him directions and kindly offered some advice:

"Your cough is so bad, it might be a lung problem. You should make an appointment to get it checked out and have an X-ray taken."

"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor."

Pei Ji nodded and bowed a few times in response, then turned and glanced at the ward with a hint of reluctance before walking away.

At this moment, Shen Zhihuan, supported by Song Xunying, walked to the rest room temporarily assigned to them by the hospital and sat down to rest.

The intensely suppressed emotions finally subsided. She forced herself to calm down, then borrowed a landline from the medical staff and made a call directly to the military.

I heard that the call was from Chief Xie's fiancée, and the operator even made a few jokes.

Xie Lanshen answered the phone, but his eyes darkened instantly after hearing Shen Zhihuan speak.

"Why does your voice sound so hoarse? What happened?"

Shen Zhihuan gripped the receiver tightly, shook her head before realizing he couldn't see, and quickly spoke again:

"It can't be explained in just a few words, there's something I'd like to tell you in person."

The fact that the man was able to sneak into the hospital means it's no longer safe here.

She thought for a moment and then added, "I'll come to the army to find you."

Xie Lanshen didn't ask any questions, but simply agreed in a deep voice.

"I'll go and submit the application now, and you can come anytime."

His calm voice made Shen Zhihuan feel much better. After hanging up the phone, she asked Song Xunying to return the landline for her and then turned to look at Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Tian.

"Masters, please take me to the military base. I have something very important to tell you and Lan Shen as well."

Grandpa Wang and Grandpa Tian exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat surprised.

Having known Shen Zhihuan for so long and used to her well-behaved and composed demeanor, this was the first time they had ever seen her with such an expression.

Knowing that the situation must be extremely urgent and serious, the two drivers immediately took it seriously and contacted the driver without saying a word.

"No problem, I'll have the driver wait downstairs, let's go down now."

"good."

Shen Zhihuan nodded and stood up, but just as she was about to leave, she stopped the two old men and whispered some instructions to them.

"After we leave, please pretend that nothing has happened and do not show any unusual expression on your faces."
