Zhao Yun looked at Song Zhi blankly. A moment of clarity flashed in her eyes, and soon her words became unclear again. She repeated incoherently, "Xiao Song, save Dongdong, save the child." She grabbed Song Zhi's arm with great strength, her eyes full of pleading.

Seeing that she was very emotionally unstable, Song Zhi could only pat her back and comfort her, "Don't panic, take your time, and take a deep breath."

"Zhou Miaomiao, if you have anything to say, just say it nicely. Don't hurt the child." A woman nearby who didn't know the reason kindly advised.

"Song Zhi, ask Gu Huaijin to let me go, otherwise this child and I will die together." Zhou Miaomiao's eyes flashed with fierceness.

Song Zhi knew that she was not joking. Seeing that she was willing to negotiate, Song Zhi was relieved. This meant that there was still room for maneuver.

"Okay, I'll tell him, calm down." Song Zhi had no choice but to calm her down first. After all, no one had notified the army yet, and they couldn't act on their own. It would be even more troublesome if they angered Zhou Miaomiao.

Song Zhi glanced at a figure in the corner. It was... Her eyes lit up, and she realized that she should stabilize Zhou Miaomiao's emotions at this time. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Sister Zhou, I'll go tell her right away. Don't be impulsive."

Song Zhi noticed her tense nerves and was worried that she would do something impulsive under such high tension, so he could only comfort her slowly.

Song Zhi pretended to leave the yard quickly, and looked at Gu Huaijin standing neatly on the eaves, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a piece of brick accidentally fell to the ground.

Zhou Miaomiao looked up suddenly, her eyes filled with anger at being deceived. "Since you don't want to communicate properly, don't blame me."

As he spoke, he pressed the dagger against Dongdong's neck. Blood seeped onto the blade. Captain Qin rushed over, sweating profusely. Seeing this scene, he was so frightened that his heart stopped beating. "Zhou Miaomiao, let the child go."

Gu Huaijin pulled out the wooden rifle from his waist and prepared to shoot, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he couldn't suppress it.

Song Zhi also noticed his abnormality, and a light bulb went off in his head. He suddenly remembered that in the original plot, Gu Huaijin seemed to have a psychological disorder because he accidentally killed his companion in an operation to annihilate enemy spies a few years ago.

In fact, he couldn't be blamed at that time. His companion's wife was found to be an enemy spy, and the person Gu Huaijin wanted to kill was his wife. It was he who blocked Gu Huaijin after seeing him opening the wooden warehouse.

Zhou Miaomiao looked at Gu Huaijin, certain that he would not dare to shoot. They had seen Gu Huaijin's information, although it was only a rough outline. However, as a person who had been receiving long-term psychological treatment and was sent abroad as a civilian, he must have suffered considerable psychological damage because of that incident. Although they lost a general, 1,000 of their own men were injured while 800 of the enemy were wounded, which was also a good result.

Just as she was daydreaming with pride, she heard a bang. She opened her eyes wide in shock, looked at the wounds on her body, and looked up to see Gu Huaijin opening the wooden warehouse.

Zhou Miaomiao didn't even have time to react before she fell to the ground with a thud.

Dongdong was so frightened by this scene that he couldn't even cry. Zhao Yun used all her hands and feet to crawl to his side and hugged her son tightly. Although she herself was shaking with fear, she kept comforting Dongdong, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, it's okay now. Don't be afraid, it's your mother."

Qin Xue and Qin Yuyu came over from the corner and helped Zhao Yun and Dongdong into the house. The others also came back to their senses from their surprise. Some soldiers had already dragged Zhou Miaomiao's body out.

The deputy head of the regiment stumbled over from a distance, and when he saw his wife lying stiffly on the ground, the six-foot-tall man burst into tears.

His quiet and gentle wife died overnight. He couldn't believe it and hugged his wife with all his strength.

When others saw this scene, they didn't know whether to be angry or heartbroken. The person next to them died in the blink of an eye.

"Captain Qin, I'm sorry. The deputy commander ran out in the blink of an eye." The young soldier who was guarding the deputy commander ran to Qin Wei and seriously admitted his mistake.

"Forget it, this is considered as sending Zhou Miaomiao off for the last time, you guys should go back and rest!"

After being busy for so many days, things have finally come to an end.

Song Zhi looked at Gu Huaijin, whose forehead was covered with sweat, and looked at him worriedly. Who knew that Gu Huaijin fainted after taking only two steps down from the roof.

There was a period of chaos and disorder.

When Gu Huaijin woke up again, he was already in the hospital. The white backdrop wall made his heart skip a beat.

"Awake? I'll pour you a glass of water to moisten your mouth first." Song Zhi has been staying by his side these days. She and Zhao Shitou take turns, staring at him without blinking.

Gu Huaijin rubbed his aching forehead. It felt like all the bones in his body were stiff, making crackling sounds whenever he moved.

Song Zhi poured a glass of water and turned around to see him trying to sit up. "Don't rush to get up, take it easy first."

"What day is today?"

"December 7th, you have been sleeping for several days." Song Zhi helped him sit up and placed a pillow behind his back for support.

"Did Zhou Miaomiao catch him?"

Song Zhi's smile froze, and his smiling eyes became serious. "Don't you remember?"

A bad thought flashed through Song Zhi's mind, and he asked uncertainly, "Do you know who I am?"

Gu Huaijin remained silent, and Song Zhi became more certain of his guess. He turned around in a hurry and wanted to call a doctor.

"Song Zhi, I'm not stupid." Gu Huaijin said helplessly behind her.

Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to slack off. He asked, "Don't you remember what happened before you fainted?"

"Before I fainted, I heard that Zhou Miaomiao was at Captain Qin's house, so I rushed over. I don't remember anything after that." Gu Huaijin told the truth.

"Zhou Miaomiao is dead." Song Zhi stared at him, only to see his face filled with disbelief. He asked, "How did he die?"

Song Zhi choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth and looked at him questioningly, "You really can't remember anything at all?"

Song Zhiguang's hairs stood on end just thinking about Zhou Miaomiao's last appearance. Whenever she closed her eyes these days, she would think of it unconsciously. If she hadn't been busy taking care of Gu Huaijin every day, she would have suspected that she was mentally ill.

This man killed someone and couldn't even remember it.

Gu Huaijin tried to recall it carefully, but still couldn't remember anything, and shook his head again.

"Why don't you see a psychiatrist?" Song Zhi looked at him with a puzzled look and ran out.

After recounting the incident to the doctor, Gu Huaijin's attending physician calmly said, "This is normal. He already has this fear. If he wants to get rid of this fear, he has to forget about it. This is his brain's mechanism to protect his body."
