It’s not that Yao Wenbin wanted to keep it a secret, but he felt that if he really told the truth it would definitely be a blow to Shao Jingque, especially since he knew that she had been worried about Lu Zhan for such a long time, he really couldn’t bear it.
Yao Wenbin thought about it and decided to tell her according to the wording he had prepared when he came here:
"It's just that Lu Zhan was attacked by a black bear while rescuing a civilian in the mountains. He was seriously injured, but fortunately, he was rescued in time and is not in danger of death. He is currently hospitalized in the Henan Provincial Military District Hospital and cannot return to Ning City with the main force for the time being. You will probably have to wait for a while before we can meet."
Lu Zhan was really injured, and seriously injured?!
Shao Jingque's heart suddenly tightened, and he asked impatiently:
"Brother Yao, I want to go to Henan Province. Can you let me go to the military hospital to take care of him?"
At that time, military hospitals were generally located inside the military region, and not just anyone could enter, so she could only ask Yao Wenbin for help.
Yao Wenbin looked embarrassed:
"Xiao Shao, don't you still have work to do? I think you should just stay in Ning City and work hard. Lu Zhan will come back naturally after he recovers from his injuries. Don't worry, the hospital has professional medical staff to take care of him, so there will be no problem."
"Besides, Henan Province is suffering from severe flooding right now. Most of the roads and railways have been washed away. It's not easy to get there, and even if you get there, food and accommodation will be a problem. It's better to stay in Ning City and wait for Lu Zhan to come back."
When Shao Jingque heard that Lu Zhan was seriously injured, he had no time to care about the work of the art troupe. Of course, he had to see it with his own eyes before he could put his mind at ease.
She insisted:
"Brother Yao, just let me go. I promise not to cause you any trouble. I can take leave from work, and I can take care of the food and accommodation myself. At least I have to see Lu Zhan to feel at ease."
This is what Yao Wenbin was worried about. He was afraid that Shao Jingque would insist on looking for Lu Zhan all the way here.
In fact, when the news of Lu Zhan and others' rescue was passed back to the Ningshi Military Region, Yao Wenbin was so happy that he jumped up and down in the office. He immediately asked his comrades in Henan Province for the phone number of the Henan Military Region Hospital, hoping to contact Lu Zhan.
Yao Wenbin was thinking well, this time he had to scold Lu Zhan for making him worry for such a long time, why didn’t he find a way to contact the headquarters earlier!
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the call that came was from Captain Fan’s daughter Fan Shengnan.
On the phone, Fan Shengnan told him that Lu Zhan was seriously injured. Although he is not in danger of life at the moment, due to the poor treatment environment at the time, some of his wounds have become infected and he is now receiving treatment in the hospital.
In addition, instrument examination revealed that he had suffered a mild cerebral hemorrhage and there is still a small amount of blood clots in his brain. It is estimated that it was caused by his head hitting a tree trunk or the ground when he was attacked by a black bear. Further observation is needed. If the blood clots cannot dissipate on their own and be absorbed by the human body within a certain period of time, surgery will be necessary.
Yao Wenbin originally thought that Lu Zhan would be fine after being rescued, but now when he heard that he was seriously injured, he immediately became worried.
Just now, when he was halfway through listening, he was still hesitating whether to tell Shao Jingque about Lu Zhan's injury. Now he heard that new problems had been discovered and that he might need brain surgery, he suddenly felt that the situation was serious and he could no longer hide it from her.
The mission was over by now, and I should have told Shao Jingque about Lu Zhan's situation. To be frank, if something went wrong during the brain surgery...
Tell her now, at least the two of them can still meet.
However, Lu Zhan has a strange temper. If he arranges Shao Jingque to go on his own, Lu Zhan might blame him for being nosy. To be cautious, it would be better to ask his opinion.
Yao Wenbin said what he was thinking. He asked Fan Shengnan to help ask Lu Zhan if he needed his fiancée to come and take care of him.
After a while, Fan Shengnan replied after asking her question. She didn't know what was wrong with Lu Zhan, and he actually said that he didn't have a fiancée. He asked Yao Wenbin to stop talking nonsense all day long and that he didn't need anyone to take care of him.
Yao Wenbin was stunned. Fan Shengnan on the other end of the phone said that the hospital was very busy and hung up.
Yao Wenbin put down the phone and thought for a while. Although he had never heard Lu Zhan admit with his own ears that his fiancée was Shao Jingque, Lu Zhan did admit that he had a fiancée!
He connected the various pieces of information in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right:
A singer from the art troupe, beautiful, living in a military guesthouse...who else but Shao Jingque?!
If it weren’t for the family visit invitation tickets arranged by Lu Zhan, how could the singers from the art troupe stay in the military district guesthouse?
Not to mention that after the flood, Shao Jingque ran to the military region to inquire about Lu Zhan's news, claiming that she was Lu Zhan's fiancée and had his household registration book in her hand. The anxiety and worry on her face were not acted.
Then why did Lu Zhan say that he didn’t have a fiancée?
Yao Wenbin racked his brains but couldn't come up with an answer, but since Lu Zhan said so, he didn't dare to act rashly on his own.
When he got home, his wife saw him sitting there thinking so hard that he was worried, so she asked him if something had happened.
Yao Wenbin thought this was no military secret, so he told his wife about the point he was confused about. Who knew that his wife gave him a reference answer without even thinking:
"Why else? They must have had a fight!"
"Didn't you tell me? The couple had originally agreed to get their marriage certificate the next day, but when this mission came up, they left without a hitch, disrupting their plans. They must have had a quarrel before they left!"
"It's normal for new military families to not understand the nature of your work. Everyone goes through this!"
Yao Wenbin's eyes suddenly lit up. His wife actually blurted out the answer to the question that had been puzzling him. How come he didn't realize that his wife was so smart?
His wife disagreed and said:
"What's the big deal? We had a fight before, and when you were on a mission, someone came looking for you, and I just said you were dead!"
The smile on Yao Wenbin's face froze instantly. It turned out that Lu Zhan's "no" was an understatement...
He originally thought that the answer was almost there, but his wife discovered the "key point" from his words:
"Wait, you just said it was Captain Fan's daughter, Doctor Fan, who answered the phone?"
Yao Wenbin nodded seriously. He could not guess what shocking words his wife would say next.
Sure enough, his wife did not disappoint him. She slapped her thigh and said with sudden realization:
"Then there is another possibility!"
Yao Wenbin listened attentively with a correct attitude:
"What's possible?"
His wife whispered mysteriously:
"Have you forgotten? Didn't Staff Officer Ma's wife say she wanted to introduce a blind date to Captain Fan's daughter? I heard that Doctor Fan even agreed to the blind date, and that blind date was Lu Zhan!"
"If it weren't for the fact that Chief of Staff Ma's wife is so unreliable and incoherent, maybe the two of them would have really gotten together and would have been together by now!"
Yao Wenbin was shocked, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be about to grasp the key point implied in his wife's words, but he was not quite sure:
"so......"
His wife took over the conversation decisively:
"So, there's another possibility. It's because Dr. Fan is here that Lu Zhan doesn't want to admit that he has a fiancée!"
