Inside the courtyard, several men of different builds sat together, whispering about a secret operation—to assassinate Shen Xiaoxiao.
"Is it really worth it to go to such lengths, using so many people to assassinate a little girl?" A middle-aged man asked hesitantly.
Upon hearing this, the other man sitting opposite him frowned and sneered, "Hmph! What do you know? Even the dignified military commander had to personally plead with her for help, which shows that this woman must be extraordinary."
"The more capable a person is, the sooner we must nip them in the bud, otherwise they will surely become a major threat in the future!" As he spoke, a ruthless and resolute look appeared on the man's face.
Everyone else unanimously agreed, "I found out that the commander surnamed Xiao will leave with his troops tomorrow, leaving only a few experts behind. Tomorrow is the best time to make a move."
After they all agreed, they quietly left to prepare.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Commander Xiao led his troops to pack their belongings, preparing to leave the small village.
Just before he was about to set off, he made a special trip to Shen Xiaochuan and Shen Xiaoxiao.
He looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with a serious expression and said slowly, "Xiaoxiao, I have an urgent mission to take care of, so I have to leave immediately."
"Thanks to your strong support and assistance during this time, we'll have to rely on you a lot more for the medication!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand and replied with a humble smile, "You're too kind, Chief. It's an honor to be able to help everyone."
Commander Xiao nodded in satisfaction, paused thoughtfully for a moment, then, as if suddenly remembering something important, continued, "Oh, right, Xiao Xiao!"
"Through our interactions and understanding over this period of time, your professional knowledge has impressed us all! If you are interested in joining our team in the future, you will surely achieve great things with your talent."
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Ultimately, it depends on your own wishes. I hope you can consider working in the military medical team. We really need someone like you."
Shen Xiaoxiao was somewhat surprised, but then smiled and said, "Thank you, Chief! I will seriously consider it."
Commander Xiao smiled, turned to the soldiers accompanying him, and said, "Let's go!"
Shen Xiaochuan strode confidently and slowly walked up to Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao.
His sharp, hawk-like eyes were fixed on Dai Xingyun, and he said in a deep but authoritative voice, "Dai Xingyun, if I find out that you dare to bully my sister, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will never let you off easily!"
Faced with Shen Xiaochuan's fierce aura, Dai Xingyun did not show any fear. Instead, he solemnly made a guarantee to Shen Xiaochuan.
"Brother, don't worry! I will take good care of Xiaoxiao with all my heart and will never let her suffer the slightest grievance. Not only me, but no one can bully her in the slightest."
Shen Xiaochuan didn't take Dai Xingyun's address seriously. He snorted and replied irritably, "Stop calling me that. I'm not your brother!"
"However, since you've already said those words, you'd better remember them well. If you dare to go back on your word, hmph..."
At this point, Shen Xiaochuan stopped talking and instead turned his gentle and concerned gaze to Shen Xiaoxiao.
He earnestly advised, "Little sister, you must protect yourself well, and never be foolish enough to let anyone bully you."
"If anyone dares to bully you, bully them back. If that doesn't work, write down the names of all those who bullied you."
"Once my brother gets back, I'll settle accounts with them one by one and show them we're not to be trifled with!"
Hearing her brother's sincere yet powerful words, Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly welled up with tears, which swirled in her eyes as if they might spill out at any moment.
She ran quickly toward Shen Xiaochuan, then suddenly opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
Her slightly trembling body nestled in Shen Xiaochuan's not-so-broad embrace, her voice choked with sobs as she said, "Brother... you must take good care of yourself out there, and don't get hurt."
"I know, I will definitely protect myself," Shen Xiaochuan agreed immediately.
Shen Xiaochuan looked at Dai Xingyun, feeling extremely unhappy that his younger sister was so infatuated with this man, and that even his parents seemed to tacitly approve of it.
Despite his immense resentment and unwillingness, Shen Xiaochuan could only sigh helplessly in the end.
"At home, remember to take good care of yourself and your parents," Shen Xiaochuan then said to Dai Xingyun, "and take good care of my sister."
After saying that, Shen Xiaochuan gently patted Shen Xiaoxiao on the back, then resolutely picked up the bag he had prepared and walked towards the car without looking back.
"Brother, you must be careful in the army and don't get hurt. If anything happens, send a telegram back to me. No matter how bad the injury is, as long as you still have a breath left, I will save you."
Upon hearing his younger sister's words, Shen Xiaochuan reached down from the window and patted her head, saying, "My sister is the best doctor, I know."
Shen Xiaoxiao took out a small package and handed it to Shen Xiaochuan, saying softly, "Brother, this is a variety of medicines I made last night with even more precious herbs. They are more effective, so you must keep them with you at all times."
Shen Xiaochuan took the small package, the car started, and the troops slowly left the village, while the villagers stood by the roadside waving goodbye.
"Xiaoxiao, do you really want to work at the military hospital?" Dai Xingyun walked slowly to Shen Xiaoxiao's side with steady steps. He bent down slightly and asked her in a soft voice.
After hearing Dai Xingyun's question, Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then nodded seriously and replied, "Yes, I do have that idea."
“I think going to the military hospital is a very rare opportunity for me. Not only can I learn a lot of new knowledge and skills there, but I can also help more people in need.”
After hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's words, Dai Xingyun did not respond immediately, but stood quietly in place, falling into a brief silence.
After a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with a firm yet gentle gaze, and said, "If you really decide to go to the military hospital, then I will fully support your choice."
