Chapter 141 Shen Jingsi Appears Just in Time
Gunshots rang out again. Before Lu Zhenyu could answer, a subordinate ran over and said, "Fleet, it's confirmed. They're here to steal people and supplies."
"Then there's no need to leave any room for maneuver; everyone is free to act."
His subordinates quickly left, and Feng Jinzhou pulled out his pistol from his back waistband, instructing Lu Zhenyu in the tent, "Don't come out no matter what noises are coming from outside, understand?"
After saying that, he drew the curtain and quickly left.
Lu Zhenyu had heard Shi Yiqiao say that some criminal gangs often took advantage of the war to kidnap refugees, mostly for illegal organ trafficking.
With Feng Jinzhou and his team around, Lu Zhenyu was not afraid at all.
Losing some supplies doesn't matter, as long as everyone is safe.
Judging from the gunfire that came from both near and far, it was probably a head-on confrontation. The gunfire was very mixed and chaotic, so there must be quite a few of them on the other side.
The girl paced back and forth in the room, clenching her fists.
Suddenly, a woman screamed from the barracks next door, followed by the crying of a baby.
Lu Zhenyu was startled!
It's that woman and her child.
Without thinking twice, she turned and rushed out.
Outside the camp where guns had been drawn, the scene was already one of utter devastation.
When Lu Zhenyu rushed into the barracks, the burly man in black was fighting with a woman for the baby in swaddling clothes.
The woman wouldn't let go, scratching and biting. Completely enraged, the man pulled out a gun and pointed it at the woman.
The next second, the man closed his eyes and collapsed.
Without time to think about whether they were dead or alive, Lu Zhenyu dropped her axe and rushed over, asking, "How are you?"
The woman quickly handed the child to her, pleading, "I can't protect him, please take him away quickly."
Lu Zhenyu took the child from her. "And what about you?"
The woman said, "It's okay, I can play dead. They only take the healthy people."
"Then you protect yourself, I'll take him and hide him."
The anxious and terrified woman prayed to her, "Please, you must protect him for me, please!"
Lu Zhenyu nodded solemnly, "Definitely."
Lu Zhenyu wrapped the child in a bed sheet and rushed out of the tent. There was fighting both in front and behind her; she looked around.
The entire camp was made up of tents, and the only relatively safe refuge was a bulletproof armored medical room located ten meters away.
Lu Zhenyu rushed forward with the child in her arms, when a voice rang out behind her, "You woman in green, stop right there!"
A gunshot rang out, and Lu Zhenyu, turning around, saw the burly man in black being shot in the head by Feng Jinzhou.
The two looked at each other across the distance, their tacit understanding needing no further explanation.
Without a second's hesitation, knowing that Feng Jinzhou would protect her, Lu Zhenyu turned around and continued running.
The infirmary was just a stone's throw away, but fate had other plans, and they ran right into a burly man in black who was already bloodthirsty.
The other party had already raised their gun at Lu Zhenyu.
She shouted, "Feng Jinzhou!"
Unable to avoid it, all Lu Zhenyu could do in this situation was to turn her back and hold the child tightly in her arms before Feng Jinzhou finished dealing with the few burly men who were bothering him and paid attention to this side.
"Bang!"
As the gunshot rang out, a figure rushed over, grabbed the girl's shoulder, switched positions, and shielded her in a broad embrace.
"Bang!"
The gunshot, which was so close at hand, made the girl's back tremble violently.
There was no pain or dizziness as she had imagined. As her tense body gradually regained consciousness, Lu Zhenyu suddenly opened her eyes upon sensing a familiar presence.
His gaze fell on that pale face that he hadn't seen for many days, and his pupils contracted!
"Sink the capital!"
She was certain he had been shot, because his face was deathly pale.
Feng Jinzhou, having swiftly dealt with the man, rushed over, asking, "How are you? Where are you hurt?"
Releasing his grip on the girl, Shen Jingsi glared at her coldly, "Is this how you protect her?"
Although Feng Jinzhou fired his gun the instant the big man fired, it must be admitted that if Shen Jingsi hadn't rushed over to protect her in time, Lu Zhenyu would have been shot.
Looking at the location of his injury, Feng Jinzhou felt guilty again after four years. "I'm sorry, it's my responsibility."
The issue right now isn't about assigning blame, but rather that Shen Jingsi is injured.
Looking at the blood-stained shoulder, Lu Zhenyu's face was extremely pale. "I'll take you to the infirmary to treat your wound first."
The outstretched hand was avoided by Shen Jingsi, who stepped back.
The man, who usually showers himself with love, is now burning with rage.
"So this is what you mean by 'love yourself well'?"
Lu Zhenyu froze, her fingertips missing their mark as they brushed against the shirt.
"I... in that situation, I could only..."
"In that situation, if I hadn't arrived just in time, that bullet would be in your head right now!"
Lu Zhenyu was speechless.
Because Shen Jingsi was right. If he hadn't protected her, the bullet that hit his shoulder would have been aimed at her head.
"Sorry, it was my fault."
Shen Jingsi didn't want to hear an apology at all; he was so angry that he held his breath in his rapidly heaving chest. "You shouldn't be apologizing to me."
Since the deed had already been done, Lu Zhenyu, who was being glared at, stopped arguing.
Turning to the side and lifting the sheet from her arms, Lu Zhenyu saw the little one quietly wrapping his fingers with his big eyes open, and felt relieved.
"Jin Zhou, you handle these people. I'll take Jing Si to the infirmary."
Feng Jinzhou nodded, glanced at Shen Jingsi, and turned to assemble the team.
Looking back at Shen Jingsi, who was pale-faced and sulking alone, Lu Zhenyu didn't say anything. Holding the child in one arm and pulling on his sleeve with the other, she silently led him into the nearby infirmary.
The situation wasn't much better for Shi Yiqiao; when she returned, there was another person being carried on a stretcher.
They were all covered in dust and dirt, and the lieutenant had even been injured in the back by the explosion. The four of them sat facing each other in the infirmary.
"I say, this place is cursed, isn't it? How come we brothers got injured as soon as we arrived?"
Despite having just been saved by her ex-boyfriend at great personal risk, Shi Yiqiao still didn't have a pleasant expression. "She may not bring bad luck to people, but she does bring bad luck to scumbags."
The officer choked.
The two people opposite were silent; one had her head down, seemingly lost in thought, while the other hummed a little tune to lull her child to sleep.
The area outside was mostly cleared by Feng Jinzhou and his men; five refugees died and twenty-three were injured.
To prevent those people from coming again, he arranged for people to be transferred from World Union, and after settling everything, he prepared to leave.
"Mr. Feng, thank you so much," Shi Yiqiao said sincerely. "If it weren't for you being there, I don't even want to think about what would have happened."
Feng Jinzhou was glad he had come, but he had to leave due to official business. "That's all I can do to help. If you need anything else later, just contact me."
The following words were addressed to Lu Zhenyu, and Shi Yiqiao wisely gave the two of them some space.
Lu Zhenyu opened her arms, and the two hugged. "I won't say any more polite words. I'll treat you to dinner when we get back to China."
"A meal?"
"You can eat as many meals as you like."
Feng Jinzhou smiled at the girl, but his expression slowly turned serious again. "Perhaps I can understand why Shen Jingsi was so angry."
Lu Zhenyu lowered her eyes. "I know he's worried about me."
"Yes and no."
Seeing the girl's expression, Feng Jinzhou rubbed his head, which was full of confusion and curiosity. "Because he knows that even ten thousand Shen Jingsi, who deeply love his wife, cannot protect Lu Zhenyu, who disregards life."
While Lu Zhenyu was still in shock, he continued, "Zhenzhen, it's not about being strong that allows you to survive in this world, but about having reverence, having reverence for your own life."
How could Feng Jinzhou not know why Lu Zhenyu had been running around taking on all sorts of extreme challenges over the past year?
Her kindness and intelligence are undeniable, but her lack of self-love and respect for life is also a stark reality.
Seeing the girl's increasingly dazed eyes, Feng Jinzhou reached out and pinched her stiff cheek, his gentle expression like that of a father looking at his daughter.
"That's all I'll teach you today, Teacher Feng. Do your best, and I'll see you when we get back to China."
Lu Zhenyu called out to the departing figure, "See you when you get back home, have a safe journey."
Feng Jinzhou, who was walking towards the helicopter with his hands on his hips, just waved his hand, leaving Lu Zhenyu standing there alone, staring blankly at the heavy snow for a long time.
