"It seems they really are from that unit in the south," Qiao Shouyan said.
"Investigate!" Qiao Gaoyang clenched his fist. He wanted to see what kind of person this Battalion Commander Zhou was, that he would even know about the birthmark on the back of Qiao Xinruo's neck.
The back of the neck is a special area; it's usually not noticeable from the front.
In winter, when people are dressed thickly, it's hard to notice.
If it were summer, how did this man notice Qiao Xinruo's nape?
It's definitely not as simple as just a fleeting encounter.
"I've already asked around, and we should have news in a few days," Qiao Shouyan said.
"Okay." Qiao Gaoyang nodded.
Before receiving a reply, the medical department was notified to carry out an urgent mission.
“There’s a support mission. Let’s make arrangements,” Hu Fangcheng said, glancing at the military doctors who still had time. He then selected a few people. “Qiao Xinruo, Xu Luxin, Mu Nanbai, and Ji Hongyuan, the four of you get ready quickly and go carry out this support mission.”
This situation is extremely urgent. If possible, Hu Fangcheng hopes that Su Yueya can also participate.
However, due to the numerous dangers and Su Yueya's current special circumstances, he could not send Su Yueya, so he sent Qiao Xinruo with the other three.
Since arriving at the medical department, the twin sisters' fame has spread even further. When the military requested support, they specifically requested the participation of Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo.
“Comrade Su is currently pregnant and it’s inconvenient for her to participate, but we can arrange for Dr. Qiao to participate,” Hu Fangcheng replied directly.
"Minister Hu, support mission? Isn't that our unit's mission?" Qiao Xinruo asked after she was ready.
“Yes, it’s a mission for other units,” Hu Fangcheng said.
Time is of the essence; there's no time to learn too much.
"You guys go ahead with the car. Someone will let you know the details later. Hu Fangcheng urged.
Qiao Xinruo felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She could only remind herself to be careful and to find out what was going on after she got in the car.
After all, she was leading the medical team as its captain, which affected how they performed in front of other military leaders. It represented the image of the medical team and was also a matter of Hu Fangcheng's reputation. She definitely had to make her people look good.
After getting on the vehicle, I finally understood the general situation from the soldier accompanying me.
“We’re from the southern troops. Recently, all the medics in our unit have been sent out on missions. There weren’t many medics assigned to this mission to begin with, and the initial assessment of difficulty and danger wasn’t high, so we didn’t think about providing support. Who knew that the situation we encountered this time didn’t match the intelligence, and it’s particularly troublesome…”
The initial assessment of the mission indicated it was only at the intermediate level, and it was assigned two military doctors.
Who would have thought that during the mission, they would discover that enemy agents were involved, and these agents were particularly insane, willing to risk their own lives to drag soldiers and civilians down with them to hell—such was their depravity.
As a result, the two military doctors were simply not enough to support the situation on the ground, and they had to temporarily request support from other units.
"So crazy? And there's a bomb?" Xu Luxin was chatting with the other party to get more information. "If it really causes an explosion, the casualties will definitely be severe."
“That’s right. At that time, not only will the soldiers’ lives be in danger, but the nearby people will probably also be in danger…” Mu Nanbai’s expression was grave.
Ji Hongyuan was the least senior of the four military doctors, and she became extremely nervous upon hearing the situation.
Qiao Xinruo was also lost in thought at that moment...
Southern troops?
She was a little stunned when she heard the first thing the other person said.
The Battalion Commander Zhou that Leng Yingying mentioned in her heart, according to her elder brothers' analysis, was just a guess that he might be in the southern troops, right?
Actually, it's not so bad. There are so many troops in the south. Who can say that the person who carried out this mission is the same Battalion Commander Zhou they are looking for? It's not that much of a coincidence.
But now, things are really hard to say for Qiao Xinruo.
From the moment she received the mission, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. This was a situation she had never encountered before when she went out on missions. Could it be... that was the reason?
By sheer coincidence, she ran into Battalion Commander Zhou today, the man who... saw her as his ideal woman?
In an instant, Qiao Xinruo felt uneasy, as if something was wrong with her.
She unconsciously scratched her back and even lifted her buttocks to shift her position, without realizing these small movements—
"Dr. Qiao, did I bump into you?" Ji Hongyuan asked proactively, and quickly moved to sit on the other side.
She was already nervous, and her words came out with a hint of caution.
"Hmm?" Qiao Xinruo came back to her senses, her expression a little embarrassed. "No, it's just that... I've been sitting for too long and I'm not feeling very comfortable, so I wanted to move around."
She came up with a very lame excuse.
But I couldn't stop worrying... If I really ran into the other person, wouldn't that be too awkward?
"Are you feeling a little unwell?" Xu Luxin knew Qiao Xinruo quite well and could tell that she seemed out of sorts, so he asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing. I just remembered something, it won't affect anything," Qiao Xinruo said. She smiled, collected her chaotic thoughts, and composed herself.
Regardless of who she encounters, she shouldn't be thinking about these trivial matters during this support mission, as it could negatively impact her professional performance.
Upon arriving at the scene and seeing the chaotic mess, they realized the situation was far more urgent than the soldiers had described.
Inside the makeshift medical tents, there were already many wounded soldiers and innocent civilians lying in bed.
"You've come to provide support, right? There are too many wounded, we simply can't keep up..." The original military medics were already overwhelmed, and the two of them were practically split into eight parts to be used.
Qiao Xinruo nodded without saying anything polite.
“Dr. Mu, Dr. Ji, you two stay here and help them treat the wounded here,” she turned to Xu Luxin, “we two will go to the front line with the others.”
Xu Luxin nodded in tacit agreement. He and Qiao Xinruo had worked together many times before, and they knew exactly what to do without saying a word.
The more critical the moment, the more the benefits of good teamwork become apparent.
"Take us there," Qiao Xinruo said to the soldier.
The situation on the front lines is extremely tense.
The enemy agent was indeed surrounded and under the control of the soldiers, but the situation was not good because the enemy agent had gone mad. He wished that more people would surround him so that when he detonated the explosion, he could drag more people down to hell with him.
That's what it means to "die a worthy death"!
"Come on, all of you, come here!" the enemy agent shouted.
He was strapped with bombs and didn't seem to intend to leave alive.
Qiao Xinruo looked around and saw that the nearby houses were already engulfed in flames. The flames were so high that they didn't look like normal burning.
