Frontline garrison headquarters.
This place is more than a hundred kilometers away from the front line, but sporadic gunfire and the muffled sound of explosions can still be heard.
After Wen Ziqing was suspended, he no longer had to train or go on missions, which gave him more time. Aside from the battalion commander's order to stay out of the camp, Wen Ziqing was relatively free.
Wen Ziqing was actually not used to the fact that a person who was busy every day suddenly had some free time. If he was not allowed to leave the camp, Wen Ziqing would have wanted to run back to Kyoto to see Zhou Yuanyuan, whom he had always been concerned about.
Wen Ziqing didn't dare call Zhou Yuanyuan. Besides being afraid of causing trouble for her, he also felt guilty. Zhou Yuanyuan was a very shrewd girl. If she knew that he had used the amulet she gave him to save someone, but was wrongly accused of being the captain who ignored his teammates' lives, she would be furious!
Thinking of the little girl's frosty face when she got angry, Wen Ziqing really didn't dare to provoke her. It would be more practical to think of a reasonable "excuse" for the amulet. Once this matter was settled, he would have a good talk with the little girl, telling her not to treat the amulet as a treasure. She didn't seem to feel any remorse when she gave it to her for such a good amulet.
At this time, Wen Ziqing didn't know that when someone reported him, he had already found an excuse for his amulet - the latest scientific research results of the military.
If Wen Ziqing knew, perhaps he wouldn't have been so anxious. After all, military matters would eventually be brought before General Zhou, and General Zhou wouldn't act rashly. He would definitely send someone to bring Wen Ziqing back to Kyoto for personal questioning. Zhou Yuanyuan's secret, which Wen Ziqing didn't want to share, was known to everyone, and General Zhou was the best "listener."
And the informant, if Wen Ziqing guessed correctly, should be Wang Xuyang, the most seriously injured member of the team. It was a stroke of fate that they were unscathed in the densest minefield, while Wang Xuyang, one step away in a safe zone, was the most seriously injured. This was a profound irony.
During the investigation team's questioning, Wen Ziqing offered no cover-ups on Wang Xuyang's behalf, explaining everything clearly. He was definitely at the outpost, specifically the most seriously injured, Wang Xuyang. Everyone entered the hillside only after observing Wang Xuyang's hand signals. The investigation team only needed to question the members of "Thunder Squad" to uncover the truth. Wen Ziqing even drew a detailed diagram of the team's positions when the mine went off, giving it to Staff Officer Qin, who was present during the investigation. It made Staff Officer Qin's eyes twitch.
Although Wen Ziqing didn't know why Wang Xuyang wanted to harm him, he didn't intend to find any reason. Wang Xuyang was seriously injured this time. A total of eight shrapnel fragments were removed from his body, three from one leg, one of which shattered his kneecap. For a soldier, especially a special forces soldier, who became lame, the fate that awaited him was discharge from the army.
After retiring from the army, Wang Xuyang may never have any contact with Wen Ziqing in this life.
"Hello, Captain!" Wen Ziqing was wandering around aimlessly. A wounded soldier with bandages all over his head saw Wen Ziqing and subconsciously stopped and saluted.
"Xiaohu? How are you? Does your head still hurt?" Wen Ziqing couldn't help but ask with concern when he saw Meng Xiaohu, a member of the "Thunder Squad".
That day, after the mine beneath Xiaojin and the others exploded, a second mine exploded right next to Meng Xiaohu. Wen Ziqing's amulet activated, and he quickly rushed to Xiaohu, saving him. Even so, Xiaohu's head was still grazed by shrapnel, and the sight of the bloody mess was truly terrifying.
After the group emerged from the minefield, they found Wang Xuyang, the seriously injured soldier, among them, and everyone's attention was drawn to him. Xiaohu simply bandaged his injured forehead with a medical bandage he had brought with him, and then hurried back to the camp with everyone else.
When he went to the hospital to treat his wound, the doctors said that Xiaohu was lucky because the shrapnel just grazed his scalp. If it had gone half an inch lower, his skull might have been blown off.
After the nurse cleaned and bandaged Xiaohu's wound, Xiaohu insisted that he was only slightly injured and refused to stay in the hospital. He returned to the camp in high spirits with a forehead full of bandages.
"Captain, I'm fine. I'm just going to change the dressing!" The weather in the south is relatively hot. In order to prevent the wound from getting inflamed, Xiaohu's head injury needs to be dressed once a day even in winter.
"Change the dressing? I'll come with you!" Wen Ziqing was struggling to find an excuse to leave the camp. He was so bored, so bored, he wanted to go to the hospital to visit the lame Wang Xuyang. Although Wen Ziqing knew his idea was naive, he couldn't help but want to go and see. He wondered if Wang Xuyang regretted his lameness after learning about it, or if he had given up on himself.
From the moment Wang Xuyang disregarded the lives of his entire team and led them into the minefield, Wen Ziqing no longer considered Wang Xuyang his comrade. A true comrade is someone you can trust with your back in battle, and Wang Xuyang doesn't deserve that!
The more unlucky Wang Xuyang is, the happier Wen Ziqing feels.
Wen Ziqing had been ordered by the battalion commander not to leave the camp unless necessary, so he decided to take advantage of the opportunity to send Xiaohu to get his medicine changed to make himself look like he was "up".
Wen Ziqing knew that Wang Xuyang was probably behind the investigation team's affairs.
After the mission was completed, except for Wang Xuyang, Meng Xiaohu and Lao Tian who went to the hospital due to injuries, all the other team members returned to the team with Wen Ziqing to hand in their tasks. Meng Xiaohu and Lao Tian returned to the team after being bandaged in the hospital, and had no time to report him to their superiors.
"Captain, I'm just slightly injured. You don't need to accompany me." The honest comrade Meng Xiaohu didn't know what his captain was thinking, so he shook his head and refused.
He only had a minor head injury, and the captain's cautious gesture of supporting his arm made Meng Xiaohu feel as if he was a seriously injured soldier!
"Let's go! Hurry up." Wen Ziqing ignored Xiaohu's refusal, pulled up half of Xiaohu's arm, and ran straight to the field hospital.
The sentry at the gate watched Wen Ziqing accompany Meng Xiaohu to change the dressing, and indeed did not stop them. He saluted and immediately let them pass.
The field hospital was some distance from the camp, about two kilometers. Xiaohu, held hostage by Wen Ziqing the entire way, felt a mixture of laughter and tears. The captain had always been Meng Xiaohu's idol. Before, training was all about missions, and Meng Xiaohu had always considered him expressionless. But who was this captain, this one with a blank expression who looked like he was about to pull a prank? Were they sure he hadn't changed his mind?
