She had to convince people that she had been attacked by remnants of the Nationalist army, but she couldn't actually be harmed in the slightest.
She had an incredibly precise grasp of the force and placement.
Looking at Su Tang's pale face and the bloodstains on her back, Old Li was so moved that tears almost welled up in his eyes:
"Su... Su sister... you... you did this to save me! You gave me my life!"
Taking the opportunity, Su Tang quickly whispered some instructions in his ear:
"Brother Li, if the People's Liberation Army comrades ask later, just say that we are ordinary people from Rongcheng, on our way to Riguang City to visit relatives. Our car broke down on the way, and we were robbed by bad guys. We don't know anything else, understand?"
Old Li now admired Su Tang immensely, nodding repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Understood, understood! Don't worry, Su-mei!"
At this moment, the combat squad that Qin Ye had sent out finally arrived.
The soldiers were well-trained and quickly dispersed. Several soldiers stood guard with their guns, while others carefully surrounded them, also carrying guns.
"Don't move! Hands up!" the squad leader shouted sternly, his dark gun barrel pointed at them.
Old Li quickly raised his hand: "Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, don't shoot! We are good people! We are just ordinary people passing by!"
"These guys were trying to steal our car! They came at us with a bomb, but they got into a fight and blew themselves up!"
The battle on the other side of the canyon was nearing its end. Qin Ye had dealt with the main enemies and was hurrying over with his guards.
He reeked of gunpowder, his military overcoat was still covered in snowflakes, his face was stern, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle on a snow-capped mountain.
As he approached, his gaze fell upon Su Tang, and he paused slightly.
The woman before me had disheveled hair, her face smeared with gunpowder and dust, and even a few drops of blood, but her clear, bright eyes still held a hint of innocent fright.
Even in such a disheveled state, her elegant and refined appearance could not be concealed.
His heart, hardened by countless battles and harder than stone, inexplicably skipped a beat.
This woman...
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he immediately condemned himself.
Qin Ye, you have a fiancée!
He thought this to himself, but his expression remained unchanged—an icy demeanor.
Su Tang was also secretly observing the officer who was walking over.
This man exudes a powerful aura, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a dignified and upright demeanor. Judging from his epaulets, he must be a high-ranking official.
His eyes were deep and sharp; he was clearly not someone who could be easily fooled.
It's unwise to confront this kind of person head-on; showing weakness is the best strategy.
Her eyes lit up, and an idea came to her.
Just as Qin Ye walked up to her, pointed the gun at her, and was about to start questioning her,
Su Tang suddenly swayed her willow-like body, cried out softly, "I...I feel so dizzy...", then closed her eyes and "fainted" cleanly.
Qin Ye almost instinctively reached out and scooped her limp body into his arms, preventing her from falling to the ground.
Upon touching her, one felt a soft, warm jade-like body. The girl's body was light and weightless, yet it carried a faint, strange fragrance mixed with the smell of gunpowder and blood.
Qin Ye held her in his arms, feeling that the person in his arms was incredibly soft, which made him feel a little helpless for a moment, and a feeling that he couldn't quite describe welled up in his heart.
"Oh dear! Miss! Our young lady has fainted!"
Upon seeing this, Old Li immediately rushed over, wailing and lamenting.
"Comrades of the People's Liberation Army, please, please save our young lady! She was injured while protecting this old man like me! If anything happens to her, I... I won't live either!"
