Beijing, military hospital.
In a special ward.
Su Yu looked at the man on the hospital bed, who was still unconscious due to severe brain damage, with a worried expression. His brow was so furrowed that a fly could be trapped between his eyebrows.
A week ago, the emergency call that came in the middle of the night was about Jiang Jingxing being injured while on a mission.
Six days ago, Jiang Jingxing was sent to Beijing. The medical conditions for his mission were inadequate, and when he arrived, his wounds had only been treated briefly, leaving him covered in blood.
After a series of examinations, it was discovered that the tendons in his legs were severed. The top doctors in the country did their best to avoid amputation.
The leg was saved, but the bad news is that the chances of recovery are almost zero.
This means that Jiang Jingxing will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair and in bed.
Currently, medical technology, both domestically and internationally, has not yet reached the point where it can restore the tendons and ligaments in both legs.
Su Yu sighed deeply.
Why is his sister's love life so tumultuous?
"Knock knock—!"
"Political Commissar, that girl is here again. We can't let her in, but she's crying right there at the hospital entrance. If this continues, it will have a bad influence on our troops!" The guard's anxious voice came in.
Su Yu opened the door, frowned, and said, "Let her in."
The guard responded.
A short while later, the guards brought people in.
The woman was accompanied by a man and a woman, who appeared to be bodyguards.
The woman jogged over, her eyes fixed on the ward.
Seeing this, Su Yu closed the ward door with a cold face.
Tears welled in her eyes as she looked at him, pleading, "Political Commissar Su, please let me take care of Commander Jiang. He was so badly injured saving me. I owe him my life. Please let me stay by his side now, or I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!"
The woman had an exquisitely beautiful face, with skin as smooth as jade, and every move she made was extremely elegant. At this moment, her eyes were blurry with tears, and her words were humble, making her look pitiful and causing one's heart to ache.
She was the woman Jiang Jingxing rescued from the enemy camp during his mission.
Faced with such a beautiful woman, Su Yu remained unmoved. His furrowed brows deepened, and he said calmly, "Miss Si, as I've said before, rescuing hostages is a soldier's duty. No reward is needed. If you really feel guilty, you should go back and live your own life instead of coming to the hospital crying every day like this. It's not good for us! People who don't know the situation might think we're bullying you or something."
The woman's crying stopped abruptly.
"Hey, how dare you talk like that?" The man who came in with him immediately retorted angrily, "Si Nan is kind-hearted. Commander Jiang is her benefactor. What's wrong with her wanting to stay here and take care of him? Do you know who Si Nan is? Do you even want to stay in the military region?"
"Gao Tai, you are not allowed to be rude to Political Commissar Su!" Si Nan shouted.
Gao Tai said reluctantly, "Si Nan, he already said that about you, why are you still taking his side?"
Su Yu rubbed his throbbing temples. "I'll say this one last time. Miss Si, go back and live your own life. That way, Jiang Jingxing won't have saved your life in vain. If you keep making a scene like this, then I'm sorry, I'll have to resort to special measures."
Si Nan's tears fell instantly like a broken pearl necklace. She pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Political Commissar Su, please let me take care of Commander Jiang until he wakes up. I'll leave immediately, okay? I'm begging you!"
Gao Tai couldn't bear to see Si Nan so humble, and immediately retorted angrily, "Si Nan, why are you begging him? I..."
"What kind of behavior is it to make a scene in a hospital?"
A powerful roar silenced Gao Tai.
Everyone immediately turned around to look.
At the corner of the stairs, a group of people walked towards this side.
It included Jue Lao, Jiang Zemin, Xie Jin, Guo Ziming, the leaders of the 61st Regiment, and other high-ranking officials.
Su Yu's brow immediately relaxed.
The one who spoke was a leader from the 61st Regiment. He asked Su Yu with a dark face, "What's wrong with you? You can't even manage discipline anymore?"
After saying that, he glanced at Si Nan, his expression turning even uglier.
Su Yu felt even more wronged than Dou E, and without hesitation, she explained the whole story, "I can't just throw her out, can I?"
Si Nan looked at the leaders of the 61st Regiment and pleaded, "Commander Fang, please let me take care of Regiment Commander Jiang, or even just a few hours each day!"
Commander Fang was the leader of the 61st Regiment.
Seeing Si Nan's delicate and frail appearance, he had a terrible headache. Thinking about her background, he couldn't help but hesitate.
At this moment, Old Jue suddenly spoke up in a sarcastic tone: "There are caregivers in the hospital, what are you doing getting involved? Do you look like someone who serves others?"
Si Nan choked.
Grandpa Jiang also said, "Miss Si, my grandson is a soldier who doesn't ask for anything in return. You don't need to feel guilty. Don't come tomorrow."
"Are you Commander Jiang's grandfather?" Si Nan looked at Grandpa Jiang with bright eyes and said excitedly, "Grandpa Jiang, I didn't mean to cause trouble for everyone. I just want to stay by Commander Jiang's side. If... if his leg really can't get better, I'm willing to marry him and take care of him for the rest of my life, really!"
These words startled everyone present for a moment.
No one could have imagined that Si Nan, such a delicate young girl, would say such harsh words in public!
I never expected her to go to such lengths to repay a debt of gratitude!
"Jiang Jingxing already has a fiancée!" Su Yu sternly broke the silence. "Miss Si, if you don't care about your own reputation, don't tarnish the reputation of others."
Si Nan was stunned.
Realizing what was happening, she questioned, "Since he has a fiancée, why haven't I seen her take care of Commander Jiang all these days? Does she know that Commander Jiang's leg won't heal, so she wants to break off the engagement? A woman like that is not worthy of Commander Jiang at all!"
"Who is worthy of him? You?" Su Yu was so angry that his veins bulged, and he sneered, "You've been coming here every day these past few days. Do you genuinely want to take care of Jiang Jingxing, or do you have ulterior motives?"
Si Nan said angrily, "If you hadn't stopped me from seeing Commander Jiang, would I be in this situation? Political Commissar Su, what did I do to offend you in the past? Is that why you're targeting me like this now!"
The guard standing nearby was completely dumbfounded.
With Si Nan's fighting prowess, where is the weak and helpless figure from before?
This woman has so many faces!
"Alright," Commander Fang interrupted, "Political Commissar Su, watch your words!"
Su Yu took a deep breath and said firmly, "I will not allow anyone with unclear backgrounds to get close to Jiang Jingxing."
He didn't care much for Si Nan, but she spoke ill of Su Yan.
There's nothing he can do about it; he has a lot of complaints about her now.
Furthermore, he already found the incident of Jiang Jingxing being injured in the explosion suspicious.
Besides, when Grandpa Jiang and the others weren't around, this woman was as fragile as a dodder vine.
Now, when you argue with him, he suddenly becomes very eloquent, and you have to be on your guard.
