Su Yan suddenly realized something, and then asked, "Then why were you interfering in my affairs just now?"
She couldn't help but get angry when this was mentioned.
Perhaps it's because of her strong personality; she doesn't like anyone making decisions for her.
Jiang Jingxing frowned and explained, "Your wound has been bleeding, otherwise do you think I would want to take care of you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately looked down at her injured foot and saw that blood was indeed seeping from the wound, forming droplets on the ground.
She was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, saying, "Um... I'm sorry, I wasn't paying much attention just now."
Moreover, her foot was already numb from the pain. She hadn't felt anything when she was with the brigade leader, but now that she'd calmed down, the pain had returned.
Jiang Jingxing didn't say anything more, but quickened his pace.
As Su Yan relaxed, coupled with the extreme emotional fluctuations, a wave of exhaustion washed over her, and she unconsciously leaned her head on Jiang Jingxing's shoulder, falling into a deep sleep.
Feeling a weight on his shoulder, Jiang Jingxing was startled and turned his head to look.
Su Yan pouted and muttered something, then fell asleep again.
A fleeting smile crossed Jiang Jingxing's eyes, and he suddenly wished time could slow down.
Su Yan didn't know how long she had slept; she was woken up by the pain.
The stinging pain in her foot woke her up instantly, her face contorted in pain.
"You're awake?" The nurse holding disinfectant by the bedside smiled. "You were sleeping so soundly. I had already treated your wound before you woke up. I really admire you."
Su Yan: "..."
Her mind went blank for a few seconds before she finally realized that she was in a health center.
There were only her and the nurse in the treatment room.
"Where is the man who brought me here?" she asked.
"You mean that soldier? He brought you here not long before someone came looking for him. He told me not to wake you and left. He was gone for about half an hour."
Su Yan responded with an "Oh".
The nurse continued, "Your wound is a bit deep. I suggest you come in every day to change the dressing for a week. It's best not to move around too much to avoid infection."
After all, people nowadays are reluctant to spend a few cents to change their medication, so the nurse was just making a suggestion.
Su Yan nodded. The dressing needed to be changed, but she probably couldn't do it without moving around.
She needs to go to town early for the next two days, so she can only get there by oxcart.
Moreover, she is currently unable to walk easily, and if the Su family tries to take it, she will have to worry about losing the admission notice she has already obtained. She will need to hire two bodyguards to protect her, and they will have to stay by her side at least until she recovers.
After staying for more than ten minutes, Su Yan rented a cane from the clinic and left.
When the bus arrived, she took it directly to town.
We can no longer stay in Lijiaping, so we have to move to the town to stay earlier.
About twenty minutes later, she got off the bus at Baicaotang and went directly to the manager's office to find Tang Li.
Tang Ligang had just returned from a meeting in the city when he saw the person who suddenly barged in and instinctively wanted to scold him.
When I looked up, what happened?
"Su Yan?" He looked her up and down, confirming the identity of the disheveled woman, and couldn't help but say, "Weren't you perfectly fine this morning? Only a few hours have passed, and you're already using crutches?"
Su Yan walked in with a sour face, gritting her teeth and saying, "If I had known that things would go wrong today, I wouldn't have set up my stall!"
Thinking of Zhu Xiaoping, she still couldn't help but feel angry.
Isn't this person just like an idiot?
She became so jealous that she committed murder and arson, bringing disaster upon herself. Her family was even more wronged than Dou E.
If Jiang Jingxing and the others hadn't arrived in time, she might not have survived the fire.
"What's wrong?" This was the first time Tang Li had ever seen her so angry.
Su Yan let out a breath, gave a brief explanation, and then got to the point: "Could you introduce me to two bodyguards? Their daily job is to protect me. I'll hire them for about a week, at 10 yuan a day, but they must be hardworking."
Tang Li: "..." Has she become this delicate?
However, one thing is one thing. He didn't know why Su Yan was making such a big deal out of it, but since she brought it up, she must have her reasons.
"Sure, we can find it pretty quickly. You can rest here for a bit; someone should be here in about two hours."
Tang Li served in the army for six years and had many comrades who retired with him. Two of them happened to be in Anping Town, but they were probably doing odd jobs in Lanzhou now and it would take them some time to come back.
Su Yan wasn't going to be polite with him now. She put her cane aside, lay down on the sofa, and continued, "Send another car to Lijiapin to pick up my grandparents and my two younger brothers. Since the house in the village is gone, I'm moving to the town ahead of schedule."
Tang Li: "...No, you're treating me like your housekeeper?"
He was so angry at Su Yan's self-righteous attitude that he laughed.
After spending more time together, this cunning girl began to reveal her true colors.
Su Yan spoke in the calmest tone, but with the most pitiful words: "What can I do? In this town, you're my closest friend. Who else can I turn to if not you?"
Tang Li: "..." He was so honored.
Although he said he was reluctant, he still arranged for people to do these two things as quickly as possible.
Almost two hours later, Tang Li's two comrades-in-arms returned from Lanzhou.
The three greeted each other familiarly.
After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Li introduced Su Yan to them, "This is Miss Su who wants to hire a bodyguard. You two can talk to her. Don't underestimate her because of her young age; she's already a successful small business owner and is preparing to open a shop."
The two were surprised to hear such high praise from their comrade.
When they first saw Su Yan, they thought Tang Li was joking with them.
After all, Su Yan looks too young, almost like a minor.
The only difference is that her mature demeanor doesn't quite match her appearance.
The two composed themselves and greeted each other.
"Hello Ms. Su, my name is Cheng Pao. I retired from the army six years ago and I am 34 years old this year."
"My name is Guo Chang. The three of us used to be in the same platoon when we were in the army. I'm 35 years old this year."
Su Yan nodded, her gaze sweeping over them.
Cheng Pao was estimated to be only 1.75 meters tall, with a square face, an upright demeanor, and a muscular build that exuded a strong sense of security.
Guo Chang was rather thin, a little taller than Cheng Pao, with fair skin and delicate features; he didn't look like someone who had served in the military at all.
Seeing that she glanced at Guo Chang a few more times, Tang Li teased, "Guo Chang has a nickname here: 'Pretty Boy.' Don't let his skinny appearance fool you; he's actually a better fighter than Cheng Pao. Back in our platoon, he was the fastest fighter in the area."
Guo Chang smiled noncommittally and said, "If Miss Su doesn't believe me, I don't mind showing you a couple of tricks."
"It's not that bad, I still trust Manager Tang." Su Yan smiled. "Then you two will protect me for a week, with a salary of 70 yuan, and you're required to stay by my side at all times, is that alright?"
