Lan Jun was instantly jolted awake, his whole body stiffening.
She instinctively grabbed the tree trunk with both hands, and with a swift movement, she disappeared behind it.
Indeed, his skills are superb.
Su Ruyi said irritably, "Sister Lan Jun, are you sleeping well? I almost got shot to death with a gun just now."
Three seconds later, Lan Jun stood in front of Su Ruyi, his eyes filled with a hint of panic.
She stared at the bullets on the tray Su Ruyi was holding, her eyes widening in disbelief: "This...this..."
Then she looked at Su Ruyi's forearm, where some blood was still visible through the bandaged area.
Lan Jun was completely dumbfounded.
I originally thought this little girl had just offended someone and was just warned, but I never expected that someone would actually want to kill her with a gun.
What's so important about a small village doctor that he'd warrant being killed in a gun?
Lan Jun immediately put on gloves and picked up the bullet.
After checking it over, she gasped – it was exactly the type of bullet used by active-duty troops.
But she immediately swallowed the words that were about to come out.
It is clear that she has seriously neglected her duties.
How should I explain this to Chief Cheng?
With a stern face, Lan Jun placed the bullet in a transparent test tube and, feigning nonchalance, said to Su Ruyi, "Luckily, you were lucky to dodge it! Dr. Su, I think you should leave this matter to me. I will find the person who ambushed you. As for Chief Cheng, he is ill, so let's not bother him with such a small matter."
"A trivial matter?!" Now it was Su Ruyi's turn to widen her eyes. "If I had been a little slower, I would be a corpse by now!"
“I don’t think they meant to hit you. What were you doing wandering around outside so late at night? Maybe they were just looking to hunt pheasants or rabbits, and you accidentally got hit while you were out there!” Lan Jun added.
"..." Su Ruyi was completely enraged by her nonchalant attitude and clenched her fists.
Lan Jun, oblivious to Su Ruyi's expression, continued, "Village Doctor Su, do you know how fast a bullet travels? You think you dodged it? You can't dodge a bullet at all, so they weren't trying to shoot you; you were definitely accidentally injured while hunting!"
"Slap!" Lan Jun had barely finished speaking when Su Ruyi slapped him hard across the face.
She immediately flew into a rage: "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to hit you." Su Ruyi sneered.
She used about 70-80% of her strength in that slap.
Lan Jun felt as if the entire left side of his head was numb, and his ears were ringing.
She glared at Su Ruyi: "You..."
Su Ruyi stretched out her hand: "Give me back the bullet."
"What do you need the bullet for? I already told you I'll check!" Lan Jun protected the bullet.
"I'm going to call the police!" Su Ruyi said without hesitation.
“Dr. Su, you’re not seriously injured. Could you… not call the police?” Lan Jun’s tone softened.
Only now did she realize that Su Ruyi was not as simple as she had thought.
First, someone wanted to shoot her.
Secondly, she managed to dodge it.
Furthermore, based on that slap just now, she was certain that Su Ruyi's kung fu was definitely no weaker than hers.
Why did Chief Cheng send him to protect her?
Actually, Chief Cheng didn't think much about it. Among his soldiers, she was the only woman. It would be inconvenient to send a man instead of her.
Little did Chief Cheng know that Lan Jun had already enacted a hundred dramatic scenarios in his mind.
"Why don't you want me to call the police?" Su Ruyi was becoming increasingly suspicious of Lan Jun—she hadn't even asked Su Ruyi who the murderer was.
Lan Jun's face flushed for a moment: "This matter... is my dereliction of duty, and I want to investigate it thoroughly. I... will take this bullet away first."
After saying that, she was about to put away the test tube containing the bullet.
With lightning speed, Su Ruyi snatched the test tube from her hand and put it into her pocket, or rather, into her spatial storage: "I'm definitely going to call the police. I was shot by a gun, and I'm sure you understand how serious this is without me having to tell you."
Lan Jun became anxious.
She originally intended to take the warhead away, secretly investigate it, and see how she could conceal the matter from Chief Cheng.
After all, this was a serious dereliction of duty on her part.
She didn't care at all whether the person who opened the gun had any bullets left, or whether the little girl in front of her was still in danger.
This little girl caused me to leave the mission I was on, and the time for rewarding those who had performed meritorious service was fast approaching!
She just couldn't understand why Chief Cheng would do that!
Lan Jun felt extremely wronged.
Seeing that Su Ruyi still wanted to ruin her career, she became anxious and immediately tried to snatch it.
Su Ruyi looked at Lan Jun's outstretched hand and grabbed her wrist without any hesitation.
Lan Jun felt as if he were being gripped by pliers, and the bones in his wrists were about to shatter.
Su Ruyi grabbed Lan Jun's arm and flung him to the side.
Lan Jun felt as if he had been tossed about by a water buffalo, his entire body crashing into the courtyard wall.
She exclaimed in surprise, "How can you... have such strength?"
Su Ruyi looked at her with disdain: "It's innate."
A complex and fearful light flashed in Lan Jun's eyes.
She immediately jumped up, took two steps back, and then took a running start.
Immediately afterwards, he scaled the courtyard wall studded with shards of glass with his bare hands and quickly disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Su Qiushi and Yi Lele stood in a corner of the courtyard, staring in disbelief at everything that was happening in front of them.
Su Qiushi was the first to come to her senses and rushed over anxiously: "Ruyi, are you injured?"
Su Ruyi nodded and said, "I was shot by a gun. The person who took the gun was Xia Tianlu."
She then said to the two of them, "That madman has a gun, so it's very dangerous outside. You must not go out. I will call General Shen first thing tomorrow morning. I will also call the police. This matter needs to be addressed."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Su Qiushi looked at Su Ruyi's wound: "Let me re-bandage it for you."
Yilele hurriedly said, "I'll go get the first-aid kit!"
The two got busy.
Su Ruyi sat on the stool, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
Kidnapping, shooting—things are getting increasingly complicated!
Meanwhile, Xia Tianlu was shivering.
After firing a shot at Su Ruyi, she vanished in a flash.
Xia Tianlu could hardly believe what she was seeing and ran back to the educated youth compound in a panic.
The gun she hastily shoved back into her waistband had already scorched the skin on her waist, but she didn't feel it at all.
She ran back to the west room, and without even taking off her shoes, she huddled on the kang (a heated brick bed), trembling all over.
Xia Tianyu asked curiously, "Lulu, what's wrong?"
Xia Tianlu's teeth chattered incessantly as she gripped Xia Tianyu tightly with both hands, her nails digging into her flesh: "It's a ghost! It's a monster! She's a monster!"
