Dean Lin finally came to his senses from his trance and said, "Doctor Wang, don't you have any requests to the organization?"
Wang Xiaolan nodded without hesitation, her tone remarkably firm, like an unshakable mountain. "I don't have any demands. Many soldiers before me have already sacrificed their lives, and they didn't make any requests to the organization, so I have even less to ask for."
Dean Lin was deeply moved by Wang Xiaolan's gesture and said, "Thank you, Doctor Wang. My superiors said a car will come to pick you up at 10 o'clock tonight. Go back and get ready."
Wang Xiaolan said, "I don't have anything to prepare. Then I'll go back to my post and finish what I haven't done yet!"
Dean Lin nodded and said, "Go ahead!"
When Dean Lin saw Wang Xiaolan leave, he called a messenger and said, "Go and ask the comrades in the kitchen to prepare a patient meal and send it to Doctor Wang."
When the correspondent heard the words "Send a sick meal to Dr. Wang," he couldn't help but wonder, "Supplies are so scarce these days, and every bit of food is so precious. How can we waste it on someone who's not sick?"
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. Finally, unable to suppress his inner doubts, he asked, "Director, you're already so old, yet you still eat the same vegetable dumplings as us. And yet Dr. Wang is clearly fine, yet you're giving her a hospital meal. What's going on?"
Dean Lin seemed to have anticipated the question. He smiled and waved his hand, signaling the messenger to remain calm. Then he slowly said, "Xiao Li, you may not know that Doctor Wang is going to the front lines tonight. She doesn't know when she'll be back, and her life might even be in danger. So, we thought we'd make her something delicious as a farewell treat."
When the correspondent Xiao Li understood what was said, he saluted President Lin and quickly left the president's office.
…
At night, Xiaolan was wearing a camouflage uniform and carrying a large marching bag, standing there straight.
Her eyes fell on Tan Xiaofang, who was not far away. She saw Tan Xiaofang walking towards her in a hurry. Her steps seemed a little hurried, and she was holding a bulging bag in her hand, which seemed to contain a lot of things.
"Doctor Wang, do you really want to go to the front lines?" Tan Xiaofang asked impatiently as she approached Wang Xiaolan. "If you don't want to go, I'll talk to the dean."
Wang Xiaolan smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Yes, Doctor Tan, that's not necessary."
Tan Xiaofang frowned slightly. She took Wang Xiaolan's hand, shook it tightly, and then began to nag her: "Xiaolan, you must pay attention to safety when you get to the front line! There are unexpected accidents there, so you must be careful..."
She paused and said, "How about this! I'll tell the dean that I'll go with you. I have more experience than you." Then she turned and was about to leave.
Wang Xiaolan was quick to grab her arm, as if afraid she might break free and run away. Her voice was filled with anxiety and urgency: "Don't go to the dean! He's already in a difficult situation. If you just leave like this, won't our hospital be even more short of doctors?"
At this moment, dazzling lights appeared in the darkness, followed by the rumbling sound of cars, which was particularly harsh in the quiet night. After a while, a jeep stopped not far from the hospital.
The car door slowly opened, and a tall, familiar figure stepped out. His steps were steady and powerful, making a thumping sound. The moonlight shone on him, outlining his slender figure and broad shoulders.
Wang Xiaolan took a closer look and immediately showed surprise on her face. Her eyes widened, as if she had seen something incredible. At the same time, Tan Xiaofang, who was standing nearby, suddenly screamed.
"Why is it you?"
Wang Xiaolan widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief. She stared straight at the person in front of her. This person turned out to be her husband - Zhao Lihan!
At this moment, Tan Xiaofang stood there in a daze, motionless. He pushed her and said, "Go! Why are you still standing there?"
Wang Xiaolan finally reacted and asked in disbelief, "Li Han, is it really you? Are you the one who escorted me to carry out the mission?"
Wang Xiaolan's voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously very surprised by this sudden arrangement.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the cab: "Sister-in-law, you don't know! Our captain went on a very difficult mission today and was exhausted. But when he heard that he would be going on the mission with you, he was so excited! He didn't even have time to eat and rushed over to pick you up!"
The person who spoke was Huang Yong. He stuck his head out of the cab with a bright smile on his face, and seemed particularly happy about the situation.
Zhao Lihan's face darkened slightly after hearing Huang Yong's words. He said unhappily, "Can't you just shut up? No one thinks you're dumb!"
At this moment, Tan Xiaofang's eyes fell on the two people in front of her, and her face revealed an unconcealable envy.
She couldn't help but sigh, "That's great, Doctor Wang. With Captain Zhao by your side, I can really rest assured!"
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Lihan took Wang Xiaolan's hand without hesitation, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly disappear. Wang Xiaolan seemed a little surprised, but did not resist. Instead, she obediently followed Zhao Lihan to the jeep.
Zhao Lihan carefully helped Wang Xiaolan into the car, then moved a teammate in the back seat to the passenger seat, and Zhao Lihan himself sat in the back seat.
As the engine roared, the car started slowly and gradually disappeared from Tan Xiaofang's sight.
As the jeep slowly drove into the valley, the sound of the wheels scraping against the ground was particularly clear in the silent night. This place was the border between the two countries, and the atmosphere was filled with tension.
Huang Yong and several soldiers in the car quickly got out and stood in a circle, waiting for Zhao Lihan.
Zhao Lihan walked over with a serious expression and talked to them in a low voice, as if he was making final arrangements.
Huang Yong and the other soldiers nodded, and then led them into the jungle without hesitation. Their figures were soon swallowed up by the dense forest and disappeared into the night.
Wang Xiaolan stood beside the car, her eyes fixed on the direction the soldiers had disappeared in. She asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Aren't they carrying out the same mission as us? Why are they acting separately?"
Zhao Lihan whispered, "You will know why I did this later."
