Chapter 204 concerns Yang Zeyan's life and death.
Unexpectedly, two familiar sisters-in-law were standing at the door.
Du Ruoxia was still thinking about the data from earlier and didn't even react when she saw them.
After a long pause, she finally said, "Why are you all here?"
Du Ruoxia didn't expect that her words would stir up such a hornet's nest, and her two sisters-in-law were immediately unhappy.
"Don't be silly, weren't we supposed to have lunch together this afternoon? Aren't you ready yet?"
"Oh dear, your clothes are so casual and your hair is all messy. Did you just wake up at this hour?"
The sisters-in-law were all surprised. Du Ruoxia seemed like a very self-disciplined person, yet she would sleep in late. Truly, no one is perfect.
Du Ruoxia then remembered her promise to her sisters-in-law. She smiled awkwardly and quickly went back to change her clothes and comb her hair.
When she came out again 10 minutes later, Du Ruoxia was immediately grabbed by the arms by two aunts as soon as she reached the door.
Because there were too many participants, each household could not accommodate so many people.
Ultimately, they decided to hold the big gathering in the courtyard downstairs.
They moved their tables and chairs out of their house and even lit a stove in the yard.
Steaming hot rice was being cooked on the stove, and several women were helping out, while others were cooking.
Everyone was busy and enthusiastic, and the once quiet and deserted residential compound gradually became more lively and bustling with activity as everyone gathered together.
One after another, freshly cooked and delicious dishes were served.
Although they are just ordinary home-style dishes, they are cooked very exquisitely.
The sisters-in-law are all excellent cooks, and they used all their best skills to ensure everyone had a good New Year.
There were also some officers sitting together, drinking and chatting.
When they saw Du Ruoxia coming over, the officers invited her to their table.
Her sister-in-law poured her tea, and the fruit on the table was pushed in front of her.
Du Ruoxia didn't really like these kinds of occasions, but everyone was so enthusiastic.
Du Ruoxia listened quietly as they talked about things in the military, occasionally taking a sip of tea and smiling.
Du Ruoxia's soldiers faced great dangers when they went out on missions. Now, hearing them talk about it with my own ears, I realize just how thrilling it was.
Du Ruoxia was captivated, but at the same time, she was somewhat worried about Yang Zeyan.
He's been away on this mission for almost 20 days now, and we haven't seen him return yet. We don't know what's going on.
With this thought in mind, Du Ruoxia became somewhat distracted during the meal.
I can't help but think of Yang Zeyan, fearing that something might happen to him when he goes on a mission.
The fragrant dishes were served, and the sisters-in-law's cooking skills were indeed excellent. Du Ruoxia didn't eat much because she had something on her mind.
While everyone was still eating, someone rushed in from outside.
Du Ruoxia turned around and saw Zhao Jiajun. Despite the cold winter, he was sweating profusely and panting heavily, clearly having rushed over in a hurry.
Although Zhao Jiajun is usually a bit eccentric, he is quite calm and composed in his speech and actions.
His sudden change in demeanor intensified Du Ruoxia's unease.
She had a feeling that something must have happened, otherwise he wouldn't have lost his composure like that.
"Xiao Zhao, have you had lunch yet? Want to come over and grab something to eat?"
"I've cooked a lot of food today, would you like me to get you a bowl of rice?"
"There's a lot of meat and vegetables today. Sister Lin's cooking is absolutely superb. It would be a shame if you didn't try it."
Zhao Jiajun looked around in the crowd, and his sisters-in-law immediately called him over to eat.
Everyone was so enthusiastic that Zhao Jiajun was having a hard time keeping up.
The moment he saw Du Ruoxia in the crowd, a faint smile finally appeared on his pale face.
"Sister-in-law, I've finally found you."
Zhao Jiajun jogged over to Du Ruoxia's side.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered breathlessly in Du Ruoxia's ear.
"Sister-in-law, Staff Officer Yang is back. He suffered a severe head injury and his condition is very bad. You should go and check on him right away!"
Zhao Jiajun arrived in such a hurry that he was still panting as he spoke.
At this joyous moment, Zhao Jiajun's sudden change in demeanor made everyone realize that something was amiss.
"Xiao Zhao, what exactly happened?"
"Is there an emergency in the military? We're all in the military, you can tell us anything."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and tell everyone so we can hear it, otherwise we'll get anxious."
Several company commanders stood up, their faces dark and their expressions increasingly anxious.
Zhao Jiajun originally wanted to keep it a secret, but now that everyone is pressing him for answers, he knows he can't hide it anymore.
"I was initially embarrassed to disturb you all while you were eating, but since you've asked, I'll just say it now."
"The mission that Staff Officer Yang was carrying out this time took an unexpected turn. He was seriously injured while protecting the soldiers under his command."
Zhao Jiajun finished speaking in one breath, so anxious that he could hardly breathe.
No one expected that a patient would encounter such a thing during the Chinese New Year.
Everyone looked at each other, their faces grim.
"How could this happen? Is Staff Officer Yang seriously injured?"
"I'm going to the unit right now. I'm very uneasy until I see Staff Officer Yang wake up safely."
"I was wondering why my heart was pounding today, I never imagined something like this would actually happen in the military."
With Yang Zeyan in trouble, no one was in the mood to eat.
Everyone stood up and hurriedly headed towards the troops.
Zhao Jiajun stood at a distance watching Du Ruoxia.
Yang Zeyan injured his head and remains unconscious.
Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu were at a loss as to what to do about his condition.
The only hope now is that Du Ruoxia can get there as soon as possible.
What was supposed to be a pleasant gathering suddenly turned into chaos because of this incident.
The women, who had been busy all morning, never expected that Yang Zeyan would suddenly have an accident.
He was sent back on the show, and his injuries were quite serious.
Their husbands all rushed over to visit them, which is only natural.
Du Ruoxia was only slightly taken aback before she immediately stood up.
"Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."
Du Ruoxia was very anxious the whole way. She thought of many possibilities, and her face looked terrible.
Upon arriving at the military medical clinic, they immediately saw Dr. Wu and Dr. Liu anxiously pacing around Yang Zeyan.
They were examining Yang Zeyan, but due to the limited equipment in the military, they couldn't examine many areas.
During the mission, Yang Zeyan tumbled off a cliff. His head hit a rock, which stopped his fall, but it also caused him a serious head injury.
His fellow soldiers rescued him, and after completing their mission, they immediately took Yang Zeyan back to his unit.
The soldiers originally thought that with four military doctors upon their return, they would surely be able to handle Staff Officer Yang's condition.
They hadn't expected that there were only two military doctors left in the unit, and Yang Zeyan was seriously injured this time, so the two of them had no way to save him.
Knowing they were incapable, the two could only turn to Du Ruoxia for help.
They knew that Zhao Jiajun had some connection with Du Ruoxia, and that he hadn't gone home for the Chinese New Year this year, so they asked him to pass on a message to Du Ruoxia.
Zhao Jiajun knew he was being used, but he was too embarrassed to refuse.
After all, this matter concerns Yang Zeyan's life and death, and cannot be taken lightly in the slightest.
These two are quite sensible; they even knew to inform him.
The biggest problem is if they insist on treating themselves even though they know they can't be cured, which delays their treatment.
Without saying a word, Zhao Jiajun arrived at the family compound. The guards stopped him briefly, but Zhao Jiajun quickly explained the situation before they arrived.
