Chapter 33 Applying Medicine to Her
"Lu Jinye, I don't like owing people favors!" The girl's smile was clear and harmless under the night sky.
Blood seeped from the wound on her arm, dripping warmly onto the back of his hand that was bracing him on the ground...
"However, this is the first time someone has rushed out to save me like you have! I still have to thank you, Lu Jinye."
She has always been the one risking her life to protect others, whether they are comrades-in-arms or hostages.
This was the first time in her life that someone had risked their life to protect her, and she realized how heart-pounding and unsettling it felt to be protected...
"What kind of life did you go through before, Wen Ni?"
His eyes were unfathomable, and his sigh penetrated her heart!
Aside from the well-known domestic gossip, she never mentioned her past...
Because people who have crawled back from hell never want to reminisce about the past!
"Get up."
Wen Ni concealed the gloom in her eyes, stood up, and extended her palm towards Lu Jinye.
It's as if you can't feel any pain in your injured arm at all!
He sat on the ground, looked up at her, and then reached out to hold her hand.
The staff and border guards behind him rushed over. The director pulled Lu Jinye aside to ask about his health, but his eyes were fixed on Wen Ni's departing figure.
"gun."
Wen Ni walked to the corner, threw the sniper rifle into the hands of the unit captain, and then slowly took out a sour candy from her pocket and put it in her mouth.
The sweet and sour taste melts on the tip of the tongue, and the chaotic heart slowly returns to calm...
"What happened tonight has nothing to do with the border troops. It was a gang fight between two sides. The border troops were just conducting a routine patrol and stopping the fight. Report back like this, and the Burmese will not dare to cause trouble."
"The major even came up with the excuse for us?" The captain chuckled, then after a moment's thought, couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Major, may I ask... is Unit 76482 really just a logistics support unit?"
"Rumors circulate in the military that Unit 76482 has a shadow unit responsible for carrying out missions that even regular troops and special forces cannot accomplish! Could you be...?"
“Where are those fantastical legends?” Wen Ni patted his shoulder with a smile, brushing past him, her tone carefree and relaxed. “Every soldier, as long as they can stick to their post, is an irreplaceable legend!”
Simple words, yet they touched the hearts of the soldiers.
"I've remembered what you said today." The captain stood there with a sincere expression, silently watching her retreating figure until she was out of sight.
Leaving the film set
When Wen Ni returned to Lu Jinye's RV, she saw Cai Wenyou waiting nearby from afar.
He was pacing back and forth, holding gauze and medicine in his hands. When he saw Wen Ni, his eyes lit up and he quickly went to greet her!
"Wen Ni, how's the wound on your arm? Is it serious? I got some medicine for you from the director, but I don't know if it will work for gunshot wounds."
He still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it; the image of the girl carrying a sniper rifle and weaving through the flames is still vivid in his mind!
"Thank you, Brother Wenyou, it's just a superficial injury."
Wen Ni stretched her arms back and forth to indicate that she was alright, and did not take the medicine from his hand.
That's why Cai Wenyou gripped the medicine tightly, his hand finally falling to his side, his voice filled with an unprecedented sense of defeat and dejection!
"Wen Ni, actually I have a question I want to ask you."
"you say."
"Are you really just following orders to protect Lu Jinye?"
"Otherwise?" Wen Ni was a little surprised that he would ask such a question.
"You'd risk your life for anyone like you did today?" Cai Wenyou looked into her eyes, taking closer and closer. "Even Lu Jinye, in your heart, is just like any other person, no different at all?"
"Brother Wenyou, you probably don't know me very well..."
Wen Ni's eyes were clear and exceptionally alert!
"I won't take risks without being sure of things, unless absolutely necessary. As for everything that happened tonight, it was all within my control. In other words, from the very beginning, I never intended to risk my life!"
This scene was nothing like the madmen she had faced before!
If she had to risk her life for everything, she would have died more than a hundred times over.
"So that's what you were thinking..."
Cai Wenyou let out a long sigh of relief, the weight on his chest lifted instantly. He was incredibly relieved. "That's good, that means I still have a chance!"
"What opportunity?" Wen Ni didn't quite understand what he meant.
"fine."
Cai Wenyou smiled slightly and placed the gauze and medicine into her hand. "Get some rest. I wish you a speedy recovery, Wenni!"
"……oh."
This minor injury shouldn't be made such a big deal out of nothing, right?
Wen Ni looked at Cai Wenyou's departing figure with a hesitant expression, then looked down at the wound medicine in her hand.
The door of the RV behind them suddenly opened from the inside.
Lu Jinye, who had changed into a pure white sweater, crossed his arms, leaned against the door, and tilted his head to stare at Wen Ni's profile!
"He's nowhere to be seen, why are you still looking? Don't want him to leave?"
"Um?"
Wen Ni frowned and turned to look at Lu Jinye. "What do you mean by that?"
“What I mean is…” Lu Jinye lowered his eyes, then changed the subject, “Come here, let me see your injury.”
"No need, it's not a serious injury!"
She waved her hand and walked into the RV, but as she brushed past him, he suddenly grabbed her arm!
With his back pressed against the wall inside the car, half of his thin inner blouse had been pulled down, revealing his smooth shoulders and a shallow wound on his upper arm!
She blinked and looked directly at his face, which was inches away from hers.
He turned his head away, tossed aside the medicine and gauze in her hand, and took out another box of medicine. His cool fingers dipped in the white ointment and gently applied it to her wound!
"This wound medicine is very effective; I always keep some on hand."
"..." Wen Ni remained silent.
She felt all her nerves converge on her shoulder, as she felt his slender fingers moving from top to bottom...
She shuddered!
He quickly pulled his clothes up, grabbed his coat, and rushed out of the RV!
"I'm suddenly a little hungry. I'll go check with the film crew to see if they have any boxed lunches left!"
"……Yeah?"
Lu Jinye's hand, still holding the medicine, was suspended in mid-air as he raised an eyebrow and looked at her flustered back.
Outside the door, Qin Yuan and his assistant Xiao Wu witnessed Wen Ni's escape as soon as they returned. They exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and confusion in each other's eyes!
What's going on? Is there a monster in the RV?
"Qin Yuan, how's the investigation going?"
The legendary monster: Lu Jinye poked his head out and slowly wiped the ointment off his hands with a tissue.
"The border troops said that the sniper's nickname was 'Old Eight,' and that he was a member of the Burmese gang, but they couldn't rule out the possibility that he was connected to the Ipswich gang godfather!"
"No one else but him could reach so far."
Lu Jinye crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and threw it on the table.
At this moment
Within the territory of Myanmar, just a hundred meters from the border...
A container warehouse park
Hundreds of computers were lined up there, men and women sat there, numbly staring at the screens. Several others knelt in the corner, covered in bruises, too afraid to even breathe!
A man in a black suit stood with his back to them by the window, a cigarette dangling from his hand, his gaze distant as he looked at the dark night and the bright moon...
