Soon, Mu Chen saw Liu Xiaonuan arrive at the hospital.
Mu Chen was taken aback. Could it be that someone was injured?
He suddenly realized a possibility, and his heart tightened.
Could it be Chu Chu?
His heart was pounding, and a sense of unease welled up inside him.
He walked quickly towards the hospital.
He walked in a hurry and didn't try to hide his footsteps, so Liu Xiaonuan quickly noticed.
She walked towards the stairs, and after a while, Mu Chen appeared from around the corner, and then a fist came flying at him.
Mu Chen reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack by sidestepping, and then grabbed Liu Xiaonuan's wrist.
Mu Chen said in a low voice, "Comrade Liu, I am Mu Chen."
This sound made Liu Xiaonuan, who was about to attack, lower her fist.
"Comrade Mu, it's you? Why are you following me?"
She instantly realized she had asked a silly question.
“Someone in our group got injured, so I came to check on them.”
Mu Chen glanced at her expressionlessly.
"The injured person is Chu Chu? You are Chu Chu's personal bodyguard. Wherever she is, you are. You can't be in one place alone."
Liu Xiaonuan was helpless. As expected of a police officer, he was too smart. She couldn't fool him with her intelligence.
Liu Xiaonuan turned around and continued walking towards the stairs.
"Then come along. Sister Chu Chu injured her shoulder to save me."
Liu Xiaonuan spoke the truth without any intention of hiding anything.
Because Mu Chen is Lin Chuchu's family.
She was grateful to Lin Chuchu, and from now on, Chuchu's family would be her family, so she was unwilling to lie.
Mu Chen felt a pang of panic. "When did this happen? Is the injury serious?"
"The doctor said the injury wasn't too serious, but I need to rest for a while."
"The day before yesterday, we encountered a group of people who wanted to kidnap Sister Chuchu. We opened fire with them. Sister Chuchu and I hid in a tree. There was a poisonous snake in the tree... To save me, Sister Chuchu threw a grenade at the enemy first."
"Sister Chuchu deliberately exposed her location to save me, but she was injured in the process."
She deeply resented herself, wishing she could have checked what was happening in the tree. Unfortunately, it was too late; Sister Chuchu was still injured.
Mu Chen remained silent. She understood Chu Chu's personality; it was impossible for her to stand by and watch a soldier get injured, even though she could have saved him, and do nothing.
Looking at the terrified Liu Xiaonuan, Mu Chen said, "If we were Chu Chu, in the same situation, we would definitely choose to save people first."
Liu Xiaonuan was taken aback, realizing that Mu Chen was comforting her and telling her not to feel guilty.
However, precisely because of this, she felt even worse. If the person in front of her had hit or cursed her, she would have felt a little better.
However, Mu Chen continued to comfort her, telling her that if they were in such a situation, they would save her first as well.
The Mu family is very kind, truly kind, allowing her, an orphan, to experience the warmth of a family.
Every time she went home with Lin Chuchu, Mu's mother and grandmother would cook delicious food for her.
Her eyes were slightly red. This was the only time. From now on, she would never let Sister Chu Chu get hurt again, even if it cost her her life.
Mu Chen walked past her and went ahead, asking about Lin Chuchu's ward, then quickened his pace.
He was angry, not at Liu Xiaonuan in front of him, nor at the people who were protecting Lin Chuchu.
He was angry at Lin Chuchu. Lin Chuchu was injured, and he didn't even know. Moreover, he could sense that if he hadn't discovered it this time, Lin Chuchu would have kept it from him forever.
Liu Xiaonuan could clearly sense that the other person was a little angry, but this anger was not directed at her, but at Lin Chuchu.
Should she say a few words to explain for Sister Chu Chu?
While he was still struggling with his decision, Mu Chen had already arrived at the door of Lin Chuchu's ward.
At that moment, the doctor inside was examining her wound.
He mentioned some points to note.
There were several people in the room, including doctors, nurses, and Team Leader Qin, but Mu Chen's gaze was fixed on Lin Chuchu.
Lin Chuchu, who was talking to the doctor, turned her head as if sensing something and saw Mu Chen, who was expressionless and looking depressed.
Lin Chuchu was only slightly surprised, then smiled at Mu Chen.
She knew from the beginning that she couldn't hide her injury from Mu Chen.
Sure enough, it's only been three days, and Mu Chen has already come looking for us.
The doctors and nurses left the ward, but Qin, holding Liu Xiaonuan's hand, couldn't leave either, leaving the couple alone.
Lin Chuchu kept a smile on her face. "Brother Chen, you're here. I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Mu Chen slowly walked into the ward, his voice tinged with suppressed emotion, "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you tell me you were injured?"
All the anger and confusion vanished the moment he saw Lin Chuchu, replaced by deep heartache.
"I just woke up yesterday. I asked Xiaonuan to go back and get some things for me today. You're too busy, so I was thinking of telling you when I'm discharged from the hospital."
Mu Chen really wanted to ask why she kept it from him and why she didn't tell him immediately when she woke up.
However, if he put himself in her shoes, he would understand.
Because if their situations were reversed, he wouldn't have told Lin Chuchu so quickly.
Mu Chen suddenly stopped being angry and inquired about Lin Chuchu's condition. He was relieved to learn that her wound was healing well.
"Chuchu, let me tell Dad and Mom about your injury. We won't tell Grandma yet. With Mom watching over you, I can rest assured."
It's not enough for Liu Xiaonuan to take care of him alone in the hospital, and it's also somewhat inconvenient. In any case, it's better to have family members take care of him.
Lin Chuchu hesitated for only a moment before agreeing. Mu Chen already knew; the family couldn't be kept in the dark.
Rather than getting scolded later, it's better to tell Mom and Dad in advance, so they can help keep it from Grandma.
After talking for a while, Mu Chen reluctantly left.
When he got home, his parents were already back. They were quite surprised to see him so late.
"You're back so late, were you working overtime? Why drive all that trouble? You might as well have slept a little longer in the dorm."
Mu's mother felt sorry for her son, knowing that it wasn't easy for him to travel back and forth, so she would often advise him to rest more in the dormitory.
Looking at his mother's expression, Mu Chen suddenly didn't know how to start a conversation, knowing he would inevitably be scolded soon.
Mu Chen braced himself and called his parents aside, whispering about Lin Chuchu's injury.
The next second, he was slapped twice on the back of the head.
"You, you, you! How can you be such a husband? Chu Chu is injured and you just come back like this? Why aren't you there to take care of her?"
Mu's mother was extremely anxious. At first, she hit him with her hands, and later she kicked him. She couldn't stand the sight of her son.
Mu Chen did not dodge; he had indeed failed in his duty as a husband.
She lowered her head guiltily. "Mom, you know the nature of my job. It's really hard for me to take leave. Comrade Liu is there at the hospital, but I still hope you can go there. I'm afraid Chu Chu will feel uncomfortable."
