Chapter 39 My sister-in-law is actually a big shot?!
A strong sense of familiarity surged through him like a tide, almost making him lose his balance.
Could it be Su Yue?!
"Captain! Retreat!"
Li Hu's roar pulled Gu Beichen back to reality.
With the enemy commander killed in one blow, their ranks were thrown into chaos, making it the perfect time to break out!
"Retreat!" Gu Beichen made a decisive decision, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and led the remaining team members to break through in the predetermined direction under the cover of night and terrain.
However, the dangers of the battlefield far exceeded expectations.
The enemy's second wave of attacks was already closing in, and the dense barrage of fire almost blocked all escape routes.
Gu Beichen stepped into thin air, and with a "crack," his ankle was caught in a cleverly disguised animal trap. The sharp iron teeth instantly pierced through his military boot and penetrated deep into his flesh.
A sharp pain shot through him, and he groaned as he half-knelt on the ground.
"team leader!"
The team members exclaimed in surprise and immediately turned around to provide cover.
"Leave me alone! Go!" Gu Beichen's forehead veins bulged as he tried to break free, but the trap was tricky and the more he struggled, the tighter it gripped.
The enemy's encirclement is rapidly closing in.
An atmosphere of despair permeated the air.
Just then, a figure appeared beside Gu Beichen without warning.
It was as fast as a ghost.
Gu Beichen suddenly looked up and, in the dim moonlight, saw the face clearly.
Su Yue?
He thought he was hallucinating because he had lost too much blood.
How did she end up here?
How could this delicate capitalist's daughter possibly slip through the hail of bullets on the battlefield unnoticed?
Su Yue didn't even glance at the approaching enemies around her. She crouched down, her eyes frighteningly calm.
She didn't even have time to disguise herself. She directly pulled the white jade phoenix hairpin from her hair bun, aimed at the mechanism of the animal trap, and with a flick of her wrist, the phoenix hairpin precisely pierced into it.
"Clatter".
With a soft click, the animal trap that had been gripping Gu Beichen's ankle snapped open.
The whole process was so smooth and fast that it was dazzling.
Gu Beichen was completely stunned.
He watched as she skillfully tore open his trouser leg and took out a medicine bottle and gauze from her cloth bag.
"You..." Gu Beichen's throat was dry, and he could only utter one word.
Su Yue didn't give him a chance to speak. She took out a small syringe from her pocket and injected it into his arm without saying a word.
A cool liquid was instantly injected.
Gu Beichen felt an indescribable warm current rapidly spreading from his arm to his entire body. His strength, which had been exhausted due to blood loss and excruciating pain, was recovering at an incredible speed.
The pain from the wound was subsiding rapidly, replaced by a tingling, itchy sensation.
He could feel his flesh and blood healing rapidly.
What... what kind of miracle drug is this?
Gu Beichen suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Su Yue's wrist.
His strength was astonishing; Su Yue's wrist was squeezed painfully by him.
"Why did you come here? It's too dangerous here..."
"We can talk later, let's deal with these bastards first." Su Yue interrupted him, shook off his hand, and pulled a sharp military dagger from her side, her eyes coldly fixed on the enemies who had rushed up to her.
As Gu Beichen looked at her petite yet resolute back, feeling the continuous surge of power within him, a surge of hot blood rushed to the top of his head.
He rolled over, picked up the submachine gun from the ground, and stood back to back with Su Yue.
"I'll attack, you cover." His deep voice carried a hint of barely suppressed excitement.
"Okay," Su Yue said succinctly.
The next second, the two moved simultaneously, like comrades who had coordinated their actions hundreds of times.
Gu Beichen descended the mountain like a tiger, his submachine gun transforming into a scythe of death, his precise bursts felling the leading enemies.
Su Yue, on the other hand, is like an elegant hunter.
Her figure moved nimbly across the battlefield, and the silver needles and jade hairpins in her hands could always fly out from the most tricky angles, silently reaping the lives of the enemy.
One charge into battle, unstoppable in courage.
A remote support, precise and deadly.
The two worked together with such perfect coordination that it was like a game-changer.
Li Hu and the members of the third squad who rushed to provide support witnessed a scene they would never forget as soon as they reached the edge of the battlefield.
Their ruthless and woman-averse captain is staging a textbook-perfect counterattack against a seemingly delicate woman.
Is this... is this still the same pampered young lady from Shanghai that they know?
Their combat power is even stronger than that of their elite special forces!
Sister-in-law, she's actually a real big shot?!
The battle ended in less than five minutes.
As the smoke cleared, only a scene of devastation remained under the moonlight.
Gu Beichen looked at Su Yue, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Shock, elation, heartache... a mix of emotions left him speechless for a moment.
He had so much to say.
But all the team members around them were focused on them.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing all his emotions, and walked step by step to Su Yue. He didn't say anything, but simply reached out and tightly, tightly grasped her hand.
Her hands were a little cold and covered in gunpowder dust, but in his palm, they were like the most precious treasure.
Su Yue tried to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
"Brother Chen!"
Liang Manyun, along with several medical staff, rushed over from behind, panting.
When she saw Gu Beichen and Su Yue's hands tightly clasped in the center of the battlefield, the worry on her face froze instantly, replaced by a burning jealousy and madness.
She finally learned that the battle at the front was fierce, and she followed them regardless of everything, hoping to stage a scene where a beautiful woman saves a hero.
But what did she see?
This "wild woman" in her eyes is actually here!
Moreover, the way Gu Beichen looked at her... that kind of look she had never seen before, a look that was a mixture of loss and regain and intense emotions, almost drove her crazy!
"Su Yue! What are you doing here!" Liang Manyun almost screamed as she questioned.
Everyone looked at Liang Manyun with surprise, but no one spoke.
Returning from the battlefield, they remained silent the entire way until they entered the family compound, at which point the string of "tacit understanding" finally had to be plucked.
Gu Beichen's tall figure stood by the door, like a silent mountain.
He didn't speak, but stared at Su Yue with his unfathomable eyes, his gaze churning with a complex mix of emotions: inquiry, shock, and a hint of fervent joy at regaining what he had lost, which he himself didn't even realize.
Su Yue felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, so she broke the silence first.
She slowly walked to the table, poured herself a glass of water, and touched the cool glass with her fingertips, which also calmed her mind.
"Commander Gu, let's sit down and talk."
