After disinfecting and cleaning Fei Lichao's wound, removing necrotic tissue and foreign objects, I sutured it, applied medication, and wrapped it with gauze. After all this was done, Fei Lichao fell into a coma again.
We carried him to bed so he could rest.
After finishing all that, I collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted. The intense concentration I had just put in had left me all sweaty, and now I felt sticky and uncomfortable.
Although I'm tired, I'm happy because at least Fei Lichao is still alive.
Jingjie sat down next to me, and I instinctively tilted my head to rest on her shoulder. Jingjie patted my head and said, "Are you tired? If you are, take a good rest."
"Hmm." I closed my eyes, trying not to think about anything else.
"Is Fei Lichao alright?" Sister Jing asked.
I said, "There's nothing wrong now, we'll have to see how his wound heals. If it doesn't get infected, then it should be fine. But we've already given him anti-inflammatory medication, so it should be okay. Let's wait and see, we should have the results by tomorrow."
Sister Jing nodded, then sighed, "It really wasn't easy. I didn't expect we would actually find Fei Lichao."
It was indeed not easy. If Sister Jing hadn't appeared in time from behind, Hu Fei and I probably wouldn't have been able to save Fei Lichao, and we might even have lost our lives.
"Jing-jie, thank you."
Sister Jing smiled and said, "No need, I said I would come to save you."
Hu Fei came into the living room with a bag of potato chips and sat down next to me. The crunching sound he made while eating the chips was annoying, but I didn't stop him. That's just how he is. I've gotten to know his personality after spending time with him these past few days. Once he relaxes, he can't stop talking and always wants to eat something.
"Would you like some?" he asked us.
I shook my head; I had no appetite.
Sister Jing also waved her hand.
“Then I’ll eat it myself,” Hu Fei said.
...
Fei Lichao woke up in the evening.
When he woke up, we had just finished cooking. His scream terrified us, so the three of us dropped the pots and pans and ran into the house, where we found Fei Lichao awake.
We all breathed a sigh of relief when we saw that he was alright.
Hu Fei and Sister Jing went back to continue cooking dinner, while I stayed to take care of Fei Lichao.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Much better," Fei Lichao said.
I nodded. "That's good. You lost a lot of blood, but it's nothing serious. As long as the wound doesn't get infected, you'll be fine."
Fei Lichao frowned and asked, "What if we get infected?"
I stared at him. "Take your medicine, get your injections, take the anti-inflammatory medication. I won't let you die, don't worry."
Fei Lichao breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his right hand and patted my shoulder, laughing, "That's great! I've finally found you guys. You have no idea how long I've been looking for you, I thought you were all dead!"
At this point, Fei Lichao's smile turned into a sob.
I can hardly imagine that a tough guy would cry in front of me.
I grabbed his hand and said, "Don't worry, we're reunited now. I believe we'll find others, and then we'll go and take revenge on Zhou Liang!"
He wiped away his tears and said, "Okay!"
"But you'd better not get excited right now. Your wound hasn't healed yet, and getting excited like this won't do you any good for it," I said.
"Oh, oh, I know, I know." Fei Lichao's emotions calmed down after his initial excitement.
Judging from his current spirits, as long as the wound doesn't get infected, there shouldn't be any problems.
I asked, "Now that you're awake, you probably can't sleep, so while Sister Jing and the others are still cooking, tell me what happened between you and those people, and why they went to arrest you?"
Fei Lichao sighed and said, "Damn it! I feel like cursing just thinking about this."
I frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to get agitated? Calm down. You'll have plenty of opportunities to swear."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and calm down," Fei Lichao said. "Actually, I'm really frustrated about this. A little over a month ago, I escaped from the industrial park. I was shot back then, and if I hadn't forced myself to escape, I would have died there."
"Later, I hid in the safe house to recover from my injuries. It took me a month to fully recover. Then I decided to look for you guys, so I went to the school. But guess what? Someone else was already living there! I don't know which bastard was so stupid as to find the school!"
"..." Fei Lichao's words left me speechless. I was the one who brought Huo Cheng and the others to the school. Does that mean I am the beast he is talking about?
Fei Lichao said, "That's not the most important thing. I was just wandering around the school. Since they were already living there, I couldn't very well fight them, could I? But who knew that those bastards would all come after me after they saw me? If I hadn't run fast, they would have caught up with me long ago."
I said, "Since you already ran away before, what happened today?"
Fei Lichao sighed and shook his head, saying, "It's all my fault. They had already given up on me, but I wasn't willing to give up, so I went to the school to check if the guns we hid were still there. I didn't find anything, and they even found them. So, I had no choice but to kill one of them to escape. I thought they wouldn't be able to find me, but who knew one of them was a tough guy who followed my trail and found me. It's so damn annoying!"
Hearing this, I frowned and asked, "What did you just say? You said a powerful person tracked you down?"
Fei Lichao nodded, "Yeah, that guy who pointed a gun at the big guy, he's probably in the army too, and definitely one of those special forces soldiers. He's way stronger than me, otherwise I wouldn't have been captured by him today!"
I suddenly had a bad feeling; the person Fei Lichao was talking about must be Zhang Long.
I never expected Zhang Long to be so strong. Even Fei Lichao was no match for him. If that's the case... Thinking back to what happened back then, I broke out in a cold sweat. If Sister Jing hadn't appeared in time and injured Zhang Long, I estimate that even if all of us had joined forces, we still wouldn't have been a match for him.
It has to be said that Sister Jing's appearance was just in time.
But now is not the time to think about that. Fei Lichao said that Zhang Long could find him by following the clues.
Is it possible that Zhang Long could track us down by following the clues? If that's the case, and Zhang Long brings his men to ambush us, wouldn't we be doomed?
"Xiaonan, why aren't you saying anything?" Fei Lichao asked me.
I swallowed hard and said, "We have to get out of here right now!"
"Huh?" Fei Lichao asked in surprise.
I said, "The big guy you mentioned is named Zhang Long. Since he was able to find you by following the clues, he can definitely find us by following the trail! So, we can't stay here any longer!"
