Chapter 57: There may be new possibilities to ease their tension
Shen Wei didn't know how he got out of the emergency room.
Maybe someone brought him out, or maybe he walked out on his own.
Now he has no impression of it at all.
He has not had a break since the mission began. Things keep happening one after another, and he seems to be pushed forward all the time.
He still remembers Jiang Yuan's look.
Chen Wei was almost numb, and felt like a walking corpse.
Until his subordinate came to him and reported: "Someone woke up."
Chen Wei steadied his voice and said, "Take me there."
His subordinates led the way for him.
The one who woke up was Jiang Yuan's assistant.
He was the first to be rescued, had the lightest injuries, and was staying in the general ward.
Shen Wei's footsteps sounded outside the corridor, and he pushed the door into the assistant's ward.
The room was clean and bright. The assistant was lying on the hospital bed in good spirits. He turned his head and saw Shen Wei with a strange and inquiring look.
He said hoarsely, "Colonel."
Shen Wei walked up to him and sat down beside him.
He said, “Feeling okay?”
The assistant nodded and said, "Thanks to Colonel Shen, otherwise we would really have died on this desolate planet."
"What exactly happened to you?"
The assistant swallowed what he wanted to say for the time being and answered Shen Wei's question.
"We were halfway through our jump when we ran into the fleeing pirates. They were heading straight for us. Before we could dodge, they bombarded us, and then... we lost consciousness."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes in pain.
"There was no time to react. It was like it was coming right at us."
"But they don't have any intention of robbing us. It seems more like they are venting their anger on us?"
Shen Wei nodded and asked the subordinates following him to record it.
But seeing that his assistant's face was not very good, he didn't ask any more questions.
The assistant stared at Shen Wei intently, and Shen Wei suddenly felt that the other person's gaze was a little strange.
The assistant looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Shen Wei looked at his subordinates beside him.
There were only three of them in the room, and Shen Wei sent his subordinates away.
He said, “Now I can tell.”
"Colonel, before our starship crashed, our leader told me that if I could survive, I must help deliver a message."
Shen Wei's temples began to throb, and he asked, "What did you say?"
The assistant began to recall what Jiang Yuan had said to him.
The situation was extremely tense at that time, but because Jiang Yuan's words were so shocking, the assistant remembered them very clearly.
As far as I can remember, Jiang Yuan has never lacked suitors over the years, including Betas, Omegas, and even children of leaders, all of whom wanted Jiang Yuan to marry them.
But Jiang Yuan's attitude towards this has always been cold, as if he was born with indifferent emotions. He does not accept any pursuit, nor does he accept the goodwill of various leaders' children.
So some people speculated whether Jiang Yuan already had a lover, but over the years, Jiang Yuan has never been seen with any B or O. When it is time to get off work, he disappears and jumps to other planets everywhere.
Everyone in the department said that Jiang Yuan was a person who loved traveling, but many of the planets he visited were deserted, and the places he jumped to seemed more random, and no one knew what he was doing.
Even the assistant who spends the most time with Jiang Yuan is not quite sure. He only knows that Jiang Yuan himself is usually not available during non-working hours.
As a result, since arriving on this planet, everyone in their team suddenly realized that something was wrong with Jiang Yuan. First, Jiang Yuan asked for leave for no apparent reason, and then Jiang Yuan, who was always calm and composed, had his pheromones out of control. Moreover, during the rescue process, they vaguely saw wounds on Jiang Yuan's body.
He was completely different from his usual Jiang Yuan.
Until before the crash, Jiang Yuan grabbed them and asked them to convey a message - if there was a chance.
They seemed to understand why Jiang Yuan had been acting abnormally recently.
The assistant slowly repeated Jiang Yuan's words.
"The survey results have been sent to my intranet. The permission password is the original password."
"Shen Wei, I'm sorry."
In fact, Jiang Yuan said something else, but the speed of the jump ship falling was too fast, and Jiang Yuan was at the head of the jump ship, so several people lost consciousness almost instantly.
Shen Wei was silent.
The assistant didn't understand what Jiang Yuan meant by "investigation results", but he knew that there must be something between Jiang Yuan and Shen Wei.
Chen Wei's gaze shifted to the window, his Adam's apple rolled, his voice hoarse as he said, "Thank you, I understand."
The assistant couldn't help but speak for Jiang Yuan, "The leader is a very good person, his actions speak louder than his words."
"Colonel, I don't know what happened to you, but I've never seen a leader so out of control since I started working here."
"You must be very important in his heart."
Chen Wei stopped looking at his assistant. He turned his head away and said, "Thank you."
"Did he...say anything else?"
The assistant said, "The leader actually wanted to say something, but the speed of the fall was too fast, so he didn't have time to respond."
"How is the leader now? How are my other colleagues?"
"Jiang Yuan... is still being rescued. The others are out of danger."
The assistant was very excited and threw off the blanket and said, "What?!"
Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Colonel, you can't let those pirates go!"
"Um."
"You should have a good rest."
Shen Wei turned and left the ward.
His footsteps became heavier and heavier, his brows were furrowed, his expression was serious, and he showed the same momentum he usually had on the front line.
The subordinate followed him and asked, "Commander, what happened?"
"I need detailed information about that gang of space pirates. Send it to me within three hours and tell my men to be ready." Chen Wei looked like he had just crawled out of hell, his eyes filled with hatred. "This time, we must destroy the pirates' lair."
His voice was cold and he didn't sound like he was joking at all.
He wants to settle accounts with this group of space pirates!
The subordinate said, "Colonel, you just came back from a mission, take a rest."
"go."
Shen Wei's tone did not allow for rejection.
His posture was tough.
Chen Wei returned to the preparation room in an aircraft and made preparations for the battle.
His superiors began to communicate with him frantically.
Shen Wei connected.
"Are you going to rebel?! I didn't get your permission to fight!"
"You take the troops out now, I can catch him back at any time."
Chen Wei's voice suddenly rose, and he said, "So we're just going to let them do evil in the universe?! This time it was them, next time it will be us."
The superior's voice was extremely intimidating, "Calm down!"
"They are incredibly cunning! Are you acting like this out of justice or out of personal feelings? There's still a chance that the Archon could survive. Don't go and get yourself killed. Calm down."
The superiors left no room for Shen Wei.
"Your combat system permissions have been shut down. Don't mess around. This is not up to you!"
Shen Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Release the permissions for me."
Jiang Yuan's dying appearance flashed through his mind again.
"You should rest now," the superior's voice was suppressed. "You're just going to die like this!"
"Besides, you've already fought them. They must have a grudge against you. If you didn't die in the battle, do you know what would happen if they captured you alive?!"
"Now calm down and get some rest!"
Then the communication ended.
Then, Shen Wei saw that his combat system screen was completely black and he had lost control.
He swung his fist at the wall.
Then, the wall dust fell down.
He gasped violently, trying to contact Bai Xu.
Bai Xu said the same thing to him as his superior.
"You are now on forced leave."
Chen Wei suddenly felt dizzy and could hardly see clearly what was in front of him.
He could only hold on to the wall to steady himself.
Bai Xu heard a noise and heard an anxious voice, "I'll be right there."
Shen Wei calmed down for a moment and said, "No need."
"I'm going back to the hospital. You take care of your own business."
Bai Xu has been very busy recently. Chen Wei looked at the red bloodstains on his finger joints and suddenly woke up. He was too out of control.
Bai Xu's voice was filled with worry, and he wanted to say something, but Chen Wei firmly refused, "It's okay."
Only after hanging up did Shen Wei prepare to leave the war room.
Suddenly, he saw his current appearance in the mirror behind him.
His blood-stained combat uniform had not been changed yet, and at this moment he exuded a sinister aura.
He was stunned for a moment, looked away, and then began to clean the blood off his body.
Chen Wei walked to the bathroom, he turned on the faucet, and the sound of water echoed in the huge space.
He moved his hand under the water, and the flowing water was instantly dyed red. In his sight, his hand was trembling slightly.
His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, his limbs began to go limp, and he could only hold on to the edge of the sink.
Since he started working, he has seen countless deaths, including teammates who fought side by side with him who died in front of him, but he was still able to deal with the aftermath rationally.
It was not until he saw Jiang Yuan's near-death state and heard what Jiang Yuan's assistant said that Shen Wei lost all his rationality.
He was determined to settle the score with that group of pirates.
Jiang Yuan doesn't talk much on weekdays, and this time he left very few words.
Chen Wei couldn't help but recall the last time he saw Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan brought food to him while he was in the hospital. He stood at the door of the ward without getting permission to enter.
I should eat something, Shen Wei thought.
Later, Jiang Yuan was urgently recalled from the planet because he fainted.
After that, when he saw Jiang Yuan, he was almost dead.
Shen Wei poured himself a handful of cold water and turned off the faucet.
The entire bathroom was silent, and his shoulders sank imperceptibly.
He tried to contact his subordinates, but his access had been shut down.
Now he has been forced to take leave.
Everyone was busy with this matter, except him.
Shen Wei changed his clothes and went to the hospital.
He could no longer clearly remember how he got to the hospital.
As soon as he stepped into the hospital, he remembered what Assistant Jiang Yuan had just said to him.
I was too excited just now, thinking only of catching the pirates, and I haven't recovered yet.
It was not until now that he remembered that there was another important thing to do.
Jiang Yuan told him that the investigation results were out, which were the results of his investigation into the secondary differentiation that year.
In fact, all the information Chen Wei received from beginning to end about the secondary differentiation was conveyed to him by others.
From the moment his friend found him and directly exposed Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan did not deny that he had played a role in the matter. When they met again this time, Jiang Yuan told him that it was a "misunderstanding". He was emotional at the time and always thought it was Jiang Yuan's excuse.
At that time, he resisted Jiang Yuan's approach and had no expectations for the results of the investigation, but Jiang Yuan really found out.
Jiang Yuan finally left him with this investigation result and an apology.
Shen Wei wanted to hear Jiang Yuan apologize in person.
There may be other hidden stories about secondary differentiation.
"Colonel, the Archon has woken up."
Someone spoke, interrupting Shen Wei's thoughts.
Shen Wei said, "Take me there!"
All the thoughts in his mind were thrown behind him, his footsteps gradually became faster, and later he was almost running.
All the medical staff cast their eyes towards Shen Wei.
Shen Wei didn't care.
He gasped for breath, put on protective clothing, and pushed open the door of the emergency room.
Jiang Yuan was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes open. There were more test stickers on his body. Under the incandescent light, his skin still appeared white, but fortunately, it no longer had that shabby gray. Chen Wei stared at him. At this moment, he finally understood the saying that life is above everything else.
"Colonel, the patient is unable to speak and is still in critical condition," the doctor looked at Jiang Yuan and then at Chen Wei, and continued, "But I am worried that Mr. Jiang is very important to you, so I have granted you visiting privileges."
Chen Wei's voice was a little hurried, and his eyes drifted uncontrollably towards Jiang Yuan. He said, "Thank you."
The doctor then left the ward.
Shen Wei and Jiang Yuan were the only two people left in the room.
Because only Shen Wei was granted visitation rights.
Jiang Yuan lay on the hospital bed, unable to move. His eyeballs moved slowly until his gaze fell on Shen Wei.
Chen Wei approached the bed and looked down at Jiang Yuan.
There was complete silence between the two of them, with only the rhythmic hum of instruments remaining.
Chen Wei and Jiang Yuan met eyes, and he said with a chuckle, "Are you... feeling okay?"
"Just...answer me with a blink. One blink is a yes, two blinks are a no." Chen Wei's eyes swept back and forth over him. "Blink once if you understand."
Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Wei, whose face was pale, hair drooped, and mental state did not seem good, but there was an inexplicable light in his eyes.
He blinked extremely slowly, as if trying to determine the purpose of Shen Wei's coming here.
Shen Wei looked down at him and said, "I heard what you said to me."
Jiang Yuan blinked.
Jiang Yuan couldn't speak. At this moment, Chen Wei had the illusion that he was talking to himself.
His gaze fell on Jiang Yuan's body again.
Those scars are more numerous than the scars on his own body.
Shen Wei choked.
Jiang Yuan's fingers moved slightly.
Chen Wei looked at him and said, "Are those the only two sentences you want to say?"
Jiang Yuan blinked slowly twice.
"What else do you want to say?"
Shen Wei saw that his expression was not too bad, and he did not look dangerous at all.
Shen Wei knew that he couldn't speak, but still deliberately asked him this.
Jiang Yuan looked at him straight, and seemed to understand Shen Wei's action. Shen Wei was no longer as sharp as before.
Almost instantly, Jiang Yuan analyzed from his tone, expression and the content of his words that Chen Wei might not have come this time with the purpose of revenge or to ask for punishment.
The heart rate index on the monitor next to him had soared, and Chen Wei's eyes turned to the monitor screen.
"Is it difficult for you to open your mouth?"
Shen Wei asked him.
Jiang Yuan blinked three times. He didn't understand what Shen Wei meant.
But since Shen Wei was willing to come visit him and say these words to him, it meant that...Shen Wei's attitude had softened.
At least, I won't hide and run away like before.
It also means that they may have new possibilities.
Shen Wei sighed and said, "Forget it. You can't speak now. What's the point of asking you these questions?"
Jiang Yuan's gaze was naked as he looked directly at Chen Wei.
Chen Wei exhaled a breath of hot air, and expressed his attitude to Jiang Yuan, saying, "Save what you want to say and tell me after you recover."

The author has something to say: Yuan has been completely fascinated.
Sorry, I came back late because I celebrated my birthday during the day, so I didn’t post it until now.
