Fortunately, the henchmen he had with him were quick-witted enough to protect Xu Mao and evade their attacks.
"Boss, let's go!"
Su Cheng hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He insisted on coming along, hoping to seize the opportunity, and clearly, the moment had arrived.
"Boss, this way!" Su Cheng made a quick decision.
He wasn't an important figure to begin with, and while the two sides were just going through the motions, he wandered around and familiarized himself with the terrain.
Xu Mao did not fully trust Su Cheng, but unfortunately, all the people he trusted were currently defending against Chaka's attack, and in just a moment, he was taken away by Su Cheng.
The people who came to check were no pushovers. Since they had already made their move, they no longer needed to hide anything. Taking advantage of their home field, they even pulled out guns and were about to shoot Su Mao.
"Bang--"
The first shot missed.
Su Cheng was truly shocked. He hadn't expected these people to be so brazen as to have guns. Then he realized that this was the territory of the Jade Kingdom.
It's not difficult to escape from such a situation.
Even with Xu Mao by his side, Su Cheng was confident he could manage.
But having finally gotten such a chance to "perform," it would be a shame to just slip away.
No matter who you are, you are all the same when facing life and death.
Su Cheng needs to bring Xu Mao to the brink of death and then turn the tide to save him in order to make the most of this opportunity and gain his true trust.
"Big Brother!" Su Cheng rushed forward and stood in front of Xu Mao—
He had noticed earlier that there were people on both sides of them, and they all had guns. He deliberately stood in front of Xu Mao, blocking the attack from one side, but in reality, he also completely exposed Xu Mao's back to the other side.
Being shot doesn't matter whether it's from the front or the back; if it hits a vital spot, you'll die.
"Let's go!" The two prepared to hide behind the obstacle—
This is the moment!
Su Cheng had calculated that the person behind the scenes was going to fire—he had two choices: push Xu Mao aside and dodge himself, which he was perfectly capable of doing, but he chose the second option.
"Bang--"
Another gunshot rang out, and Xu Mao turned his head in shock to see Su Cheng lying stiffly in his arms, a patch of blood quickly seeping from below his collarbone, staining his clothes red.
"Su Cheng!"
Even after realizing Chaka's trap, Xu Mao didn't lose his composure. Instead, he calmly ran and dodged until this moment, when Su Cheng collapsed into his arms, his palms stained with blood...
He could have shot the arm, but Su Cheng chose the area below the collarbone, so the sight of blood spreading out would be more impactful.
"Big brother... I'm not dead..." Su Cheng was breathing heavily. He had taken a solid hit, and it really hurt, but it wasn't enough to make him lose his fighting ability.
"Let's go!"
This injury completely dispelled Xu Mao's doubts about Su Cheng.
Su Yueya was six months pregnant. Because it was twins, her belly was round and plump, making her look about the same size as other pregnant women when they were about to give birth.
"Is Crescent Moon alright?" Although Liu Yuying had given birth before, she didn't know anything about medicine and only felt that her daughter's belly was frighteningly large.
She always felt worried, and she often saw Su Yueya holding her lower back. She had been pregnant herself and knew how hard it was to have a big belly, so she always felt that her daughter was suffering a lot.
“Your belly was this big when you were pregnant, so everything will be fine,” Qiao Hanxue said.
Moreover, Su Yueya goes to the scanner every few days for a check-up, so even if there are any problems, she can detect them immediately.
"Really? I feel like when I was pregnant, my belly wasn't even as big as a crescent moon?" Liu Yuying asked doubtfully.
That's not surprising, after all, the perspective is different. Looking down at yourself is completely different from seeing someone else's stomach from the front.
"Don't worry, with three doctors in the family, how could anything happen to Yueya?" Qiao Hanxue reassured her.
Liu Yuying thought about it and realized that it made sense, so she felt a little relieved.
But in the end, I still feel sorry for my daughter.
At the dinner table, Su Yueya's eating became the focus of everyone's attention.
For the first three months, everyone was afraid that Su Yueya wouldn't have enough to eat or eat well, so they kept putting food on her plate, wishing they could give her all the good things.
Now that her belly is getting bigger and bigger, she is worried about the difficulties of childbirth, especially since Qiao Hanxue and Qiao Xinruo have explained to them that it is not good to blindly take supplements, but that some supplements are beneficial to pregnant women and some may even be harmful.
"I'm not eating anymore." Su Yueya was quite self-aware; she ate until she was about half full, then threw down her bowl and chopsticks.
Anyway, if she gets hungry, she has snacks to satisfy her cravings. Now she's all about eating small, frequent meals and not eating until she's full.
After all, if the baby is too big and well-developed, there could be real dangers during childbirth. It's best to keep things within a reasonable range.
She's a doctor herself, so she knows what she's doing.
She always keeps several bags of snacks in her bag, mostly dried fruit and dried meat, which are not bought from outside but made by Liu Yuying herself, and are absolutely clean and healthy.
When she is seeing patients in the medical department, if she gets hungry, she will eat one or two pieces of dried fruit or a piece of dried meat to satisfy her craving, but she will never be greedy.
Xu Luxin and the others saw Su Yueya's belly and guessed that she was carrying twins.
"Dr. Su, you must have seen it during your prenatal checkup, right? Twins?" Xie Ziai asked.
Not only him, but everyone else also thought it was twins.
After all, they are doctors. If they can't even see this much, how dare they stay in the medical department?
He was probably kicked out by Hu Fangcheng long ago.
"Yes, they are indeed twins," Su Yueya said with a smile.
"That's wonderful!"
Everyone offered their blessings, saying that Su Yueya was really lucky, as twins are not something everyone can conceive.
"But it's not entirely unexpected. After all, Commander Liu gave birth to twins twice, so it's to be expected that Dr. Su could also conceive twins," Mu Nanbai said.
"It's so unfair! It's so difficult for others to conceive twins, but for Dr. Su, it's a piece of cake," Xie Ziai said, feigning exaggeration.
The medical department was filled with joy, and everyone felt they had benefited from Su Yueya's good fortune.
"With the family planning policy in place, each family can only have one child. Dr. Su gave birth to twins at once without violating the rules. It's something we can only envy."
"That's wonderful! I hope I can have twins when I get married in the future!"
"Then you should spend more time with Dr. Su and soak up her good fortune!"
"I'd love to, but it's not something you can just get pregnant with so easily. By the way, Dr. Su, I wonder if Dr. Qiao will also be pregnant with twins in the future?" someone joked.
After all, they are sisters. Since Su Yueya can inherit Liu Yuying's genes, then Qiao Xinruo has the same probability.
Family planning is a policy and a general direction. As military personnel, we should naturally support it firmly. But what family doesn't want a large and prosperous family with many children?
