Chapter 92 Our Youth in a Prosperous China
"Who else could it be? The popular young actor, Cai Wenyou!"
"Who?" Wen Ni swallowed the name that was on her throat, her eyes full of doubt as she repeated, "Cai Wenyou?"
"yes."
Nurse Xiaojie pulled Wen Ni's arm and deftly drew blood from her vein, saying, "He brought you a lot of food and supplies, they're all in the duty room. I'll get them for you when I'm done."
"How did he know I was here?" Wen Ni was very surprised.
"I don't know." Nurse Xiaojie shrugged, pushed the medical cart, and turned to leave.
Wen Ni sat alone on the edge of the bed, racking her brains to recall.
She seemed to hear a faint voice speaking in her ear after she fell asleep yesterday. Could it really be Cai Wenyou?
I wonder if she did anything outrageous when she had her episode last night, or if she scratched him?
But she still couldn't understand how Cai Wenyou knew she was here.
I'm completely baffled!
Outside the room, nurse Xiaojie glanced back at Wen Ni, who was still deep in thought, and sighed, muttering to herself:
"I'm not lying to you... Lu Jinye told me not to tell you that he came."
What's more, after Lu Jinye left yesterday, Cai Wenyou did come too. Last night, the drug rehabilitation center was almost as lively as a celebrity meet-and-greet...
"Hello, room 046, visiting hours." A clear voice suddenly rang out.
"Ah...you've been here before, haven't you? I remember you. You go ahead, I'll make a note of it for you later!"
Nurse Xiaojie recognized the man in the military uniform with the buzz cut; he must be a comrade-in-arms from Unit 046.
It has to be said that the men 046 knows are all handsome in their own unique ways, each with their own attractive qualities...
Thank you.
A simple thank you made Xiaojie overjoyed.
The newcomers were Feng Sui and Captain Lu Zhenbang.
When they came in, Wen Ni had just managed to eat a little food. When she saw them, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and gave a standard military salute!
"Captain Lu."
"There are no outsiders here, no need for this formality." Lu Zhenbang waved his hand at Wen Ni. "Sit down quickly, look how thin you are! Is the food here bad? Fengsui! Starting tomorrow, have our company's cook come over and give Qian Sha special meals!"
"good!"
Feng Sui agreed verbally, but his heart-wrenching gaze was fixed on Wen Ni.
"No need, Captain Lu, the food here is very good. It's my own fault that I can't eat."
Wen Ni refused his offer, tightening her grip on her lap, and finally asked, "Did you come all this way today because you have something to tell me in person?"
“There are two things.” Captain Lu nodded. “One is the identity of that Burmese lord… we still haven’t been able to find out. Aaron Thomson is also a fake name.”
A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
That's incredibly cunning!
“There’s one more thing…” Lu Zhenbang and Feng Sui exchanged a glance, then Lu Zhenbang tossed the words over to Feng Sui, “Let Feng Sui tell you.”
"……yes."
Feng Sui paused for a few seconds before organizing his thoughts and attempting to tactfully recount the events: "The second matter concerns Poison Fang. He is currently receiving treatment at the military hospital. You can rest assured that his life is not in danger, and his injuries will heal eventually without causing any major problems..."
“His right leg is gone, how could it not have an impact?” Wen Ni interrupted him. “Tell me directly, what are the superiors planning to do? Venom Fang has risked his life with us and made great contributions. He is an indispensable part of the Shadow Hunter Commando! I will not abandon him, and no one can abandon him!”
“Qian Sha, no one will abandon him, and no one wants to abandon him! It’s just that his legs are failing. He can no longer fight alongside us…”
When this cruel truth was spoken, even a tough man like Feng Sui couldn't help but tear up.
"so what?"
"Therefore, Venom must retire. His superiors have already arranged for him to work in an office in a government agency in his hometown, and he will receive all the necessary benefits!"
"This outcome would be even more painful than letting him die on the battlefield," Wen Ni said, turning her face away and snorting coldly.
"That being said, at least he's still alive, which is something to be thankful for."
Captain Lu continued in a deep and steady tone, "I know you are not afraid to die and are willing to dedicate your blood to the motherland. This is the right thing to do, and it is what I have been steadfastly pursuing!"
"But—from my perspective, each of you is also a young, vibrant life, full of life and with a long road ahead! Being alive is always better than being dead; if you die, you'll truly never see each other again..."
His eyes dimmed slightly, as if he were thinking of his brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him, or his family whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
This is the first time, and the only time in all these years, that Captain Lu, who is known for his iron-fisted approach, would speak so frankly and sincerely to his subordinates!
"In short, we came here to tell you this. Whether you can accept it or not, it's a fact that no one can change! The team has other things to do, so you should rest well. We'll come to see you another day!"
Captain Lu pushed Fengsui's arm, leaving behind his back as he stepped out of the room.
"When is Venomous Fang leaving?" Wen Ni suddenly asked. Her voice was soft, without the agitation she had shown during their earlier argument.
"Five days later."
"The rest of the commando team and I will personally escort him." Captain Lu paused, turning his head slightly. "Take yours with you!"
After saying that, he took another step and walked outside.
Fengsui followed behind, frequently turning back, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Wen Ni.
Wen Ni did not see them off; she simply sat alone on the edge of the bed, her head bowed.
Hidden among the strands of hair, a single, glistening drop seemed to fall silently...
[From today onwards, the Shadow Hunter Commando Team is officially established! The five of us are the elite of the elite!]
[We'll never abandon each other, we'll be brothers for life!]
[Under the national flag, we pledge our youth to defend the prosperous China!]
Scenes from the past played out in Wen Ni's mind like a reel of film.
Fueled by her emotional turmoil, her drug withdrawal episodes have become increasingly prolonged over the past two days!
And the person who was always with her never missed a single one.
Whenever she fell ill, he would appear out of nowhere and stay by her side!
Even in her hazy state, she could feel the support and security he provided...
The alternation of day and night allowed her to struggle through the daily torment and survive.
It was noon on the tenth day after Wen Ni entered the drug rehabilitation center.
Cai Wenyou and his assistant came in carrying large and small bags to visit.
Through the open viewing window in the door,
Wen Ni sat there quietly, gazing thoughtfully at Cai Wenyou's gentle smile.
Could it be him?
Could he be the one who stayed by her side and endured countless dawns with her?
"I was worried you'd be bored here, so I brought you a few books to read and distract you. The nurse told me last time that you really like blueberries, so I specially bought you a few boxes of freshly picked ones that arrived that day..."
Is that you?
Wen Ni decided to ask for clarification.
Her sudden, nonsensical remark interrupted Cai Wenyou's enthusiastic explanation.
