Chapter 83 We Met
Ah Da casually grabbed a handful of pebbles, his cold eyes fixed on the cave entrance, ready to strike at any moment.
Su Meng has excellent hearing and could hear Huo Zhenhua's breathing from a distance.
She flipped her hand and took out several silver needles, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
A dozen or so breaths later, the person arrived at the cave entrance.
He was about to enter the cave when his expression changed drastically, and he turned to run away.
No sooner said than done.
Su Meng's silver needles and A Da's pebbles were launched simultaneously.
The man grunted, paused for only a moment, and then ran away.
The men following behind cocked their guns, ready to go all in.
However, the person in front only ran a meter before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.
Huo Zhenhua put away his gun, stepped forward to examine the area, and sighed heavily, "Shen Wuyang is finally dead!"
Su Meng also stepped forward, "You actually found Shen Wuyang? Impressive!"
This person is her biggest worry; if she doesn't get rid of him, she's afraid he'll suddenly pop out and bite her.
"Unfortunately, we couldn't find out who was behind him." Su Meng kicked him angrily, and was about to take out the corpse-dissolving powder.
Then Ah Da spoke up, "He's not dead, bring him in."
Hearing him say that, Su Meng was so shocked that she almost dropped the porcelain bottle in her hand, and asked doubtfully, "Uncle, are you serious?"
She just checked, and Shen Wuyang really has no heartbeat. Could he be breathing like a tortoise?
Huo Zhenhua didn't say anything, but followed instructions and went inside, standing respectfully beside Ah Da like a primary school student, "Uncle?"
Ah Da used a wooden stick to hit several acupoints on Shen Wuyang's body.
The next moment, Shen Wuyang suddenly opened her eyes and tried to escape with a leap.
Ah Da threw another pebble, and Shen Wuyang immediately adopted a one-legged walking posture.
He said, "Go ahead and ask?"
Huo Zhenhua recovered from his astonishment, bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, "Uncle, I..."
Ah Da opened her eyes and glanced at him, saying slowly, "As long as you can win her over, I'll agree to whatever you want."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Huo Zhenhua beamed with joy, glancing at the bewildered Su Meng. His eyes shone like searchlights, and his hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists.
So, if he can win over Su Meng, he can not only marry the beauty, but also receive guidance from a renowned teacher.
A win-win situation!
Confused, Su Meng asked softly, "Commander Huo, what did you and Uncle agree on?"
Huo Zhenhua pursed his lips and remained silent, but the smile on his face was so wide that even a blind person could see how happy he was.
He avoided Su Meng's burning gaze and pointed at Shen Wuyang, "What do you want to ask? Ask quickly."
Su Meng gave an "Oh," then looked at Shen Wuyang with a cold expression, "Who helped you escape from prison?"
Shen Wuyang glanced at her dismissively. "I don't know."
Those three simple words made Su Meng's heart race with anger. She raised her foot and kicked, "Like a grasshopper in autumn, still trying to act tough."
"Fine, just kill him!"
Huo Zhenhua raised his hand to stop him, saying, "He might have another fish in his net. Let's spare his life for now."
Ah Da didn't even open his eyes before declaring, "I'll listen to Commander Huo!"
Then, he tapped Shen Wuyang a few times with his wooden stick in a seemingly random manner.
Shen Wuyang coughed up blood, collapsed to the ground, and pleaded for mercy, "It hurts, it hurts! Please spare me. I didn't harm your Su family..."
Ah Da acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued, "He harmed my Su family. Shatter his meridians to give him a little punishment. This man is yours to handle!"
Thus, Shen Wuyang's meridians were severed, leaving him like a cripple, with no way to escape.
Su Meng silently withdrew the Heartbreak Soul-Summoning Powder.
When Huo Zhenhua had a spare moment, he sat around the fire and talked about what he had seen and heard down the mountain.
It turns out that the illegal factory at the foot of the mountain was actually a small shipyard.
"They secretly built a shipyard, actually intending to use it as a cover to steal copper from the island."
"Copper mine?" Su Meng's voice rose in surprise.
No wonder Shen Wuyang stole materials from the Shanghai Shipyard, and no wonder he was able to escape from the Shanghai prison.
It turns out there's such a huge chain of interests behind this.
Huo Zhenhua said, "I have contacted our military region and I believe they will arrive before dawn."
It's said to be a day's journey, but that's because the cruising speed is slow. If you're going to speed up, you can reduce the time by at least a third.
Sure enough, at dawn, several ships silently surrounded the harbor.
Huo Zhenhua stood at the cave entrance, pointed at the approaching boats, and said, "They're here!"
Those were patrol boats in the nearby waters.
Our ship should be here soon.
Despite saying that, Huo Zhenhua and Su Meng were worried about Shen Wuyang and his ilk, so they stood together at the cave entrance, gazing out to sea and observing how things were developing at the port.
By daybreak, the entire port had fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Southeast Military Region.
The officers and soldiers systematically cleared out the stubborn elements in the port, repatriated the villagers, and took over the shipyard and copper mine.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Let's go down the mountain!"
After Huo Zhenhua finished speaking, he carried Su Mianzhi on his back and bent down to lift Shen Wuyang.
Then someone shouted, "Commander, we're here!"
It was Wang Qinglin's voice.
Su Meng released A Da's arm and ran out of the cave, "Comrade Wang, we're here."
With Wang Qinglin's help in carrying Shen Wuyang, Su Meng and her group quickly boarded the ship.
A day later, they were directly sent to the First People's Hospital of Zhou City by Commander Tang.
Shen Wuyang was taken back to the Southeast Military Region.
Huo Zhenhua ran around arranging Su Mianzhi and A'da's hospitalization, and then rushed back to the Southeast Military Region to report the situation.
Ada was afraid that something might happen to Su Mianzhi again, so he didn't want a private room and repeatedly asked to share a room with Su Mianzhi.
Su Meng was also happy to see it happen.
It would be convenient for her to take care of him since they were in the same ward.
Meanwhile, Xie Mian learned that Su Meng and Su Mianzhi had returned safely and gone to the First People's Hospital of Zhou City.
He immediately disregarded the messenger Wang Qinglin's attempts to stop him and rushed off to Zhou City.
Grandma carried a bundle, the only chicken in the house, and Xiaoqi followed along with her.
Wang Qinglin had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the gentleman.
Fortunately, while Huo Zhenhua was busy taking care of everything, Wang Qinglin also accompanied him to the hospital.
He led his men to the ward where Su Mianzhi was located with ease.
As I knocked on the door, I caught a glimpse of the open ward across the street and frowned.
Puzzled, I wondered, why is Nie Ronghua also hospitalized?
Before he could see clearly, the door was opened from the inside.
Su Meng was surprised to see her grandmother and Xie Mian's group. She happily ushered them in, "Grandma, Uncle, I found Dad!"
She said it with a smile, but tears fell in large drops, like hail in June, hitting people's hearts and causing a dense, painful sensation.
Grandma's tense mind suddenly relaxed, and tears streamed down her face. Her gaze swept over the two equally thin patients, and she resolutely walked towards the unconscious Su Mianzhi.
Before even getting close to the bedside, seeing Su Mianzhi's thin appearance, the old man swayed a few times with heartache, took a few quick steps, and collapsed by the bedside.
She grabbed Su Mianzhi's hand tightly, and with one trembling hand she reached out to Su Mianzhi's face, wanting to touch it but afraid of breaking it, and then reluctantly withdrew it.
Then, she pressed her head against the back of his hand, sobbing and whimpering in suppressed sobs until she collapsed to the ground, crying her heart out, a cry that moved heaven and earth.
Instantly, the small ward was filled with sorrow, and the eardrums were filled with the old man's heart-wrenching cries, wanting to cry out but not knowing where to begin.
Ah Da was asleep while receiving an IV drip, but woke up when he heard the door open.
He looked at his grandmother and Xie Mian with suspicion, then suddenly realized something, his pupils dilated, and he beckoned to Su Meng, "Is she really the old lady?"
Su Meng smiled and introduced, "Yes! This is my uncle Xie Mian, and my little sister Xiao Qi. Our Su family is reunited!"
Ah Da stared at Xie Mian, his lips moved, and he said softly, "That's good!"
With tears in his eyes, Xie Mian sincerely thanked A Da, saying, "Thank you for staying by my side!"
Wang Qinglin wiped his sore nose and silently withdrew.
However, as soon as he closed the door, he saw...
