Chapter 178 Hidden Disease



At the end of his speech, Li Chengfeng's tone was filled with regret.

Listening to Li Chengfeng's description, the doubts in his heart grew deeper.

The female doctor that Li Chengfeng mentioned had superb medical skills and a cold temper, which reminded him of Fang Qingyue.

The long-forgotten memories kept churning in his heart, and he couldn't help but look at Li Chengfeng more carefully, as if trying to find some clues from his eyes.

"What's her name?"

Shen Yuhan's voice was steady, but his eyes had unconsciously become sharp, revealing a suppressed eagerness.

Li Chengfeng became alert when Shen Yuhan suddenly asked so directly.

He was not an easily moved person, but he felt a desire to protect the female doctor from the bottom of his heart.

He knew in his heart that if Shen Yuhan wanted to compete with him for something with his status and position, he would have no chance of winning.

"General Shen, why are you asking this?"

Li Chengfeng's smile was a bit forced, trying to laugh it off, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

Shen Yuhan narrowed his eyes slightly, his face still maintaining a stern expression, but the inquiry in his eyes became more and more obvious: "I'm just curious, this female doctor is so unique that even someone as rebellious as you can't forget her."

"If her medical skills are as good as you say, maybe I should ask her for advice."

Li Chengfeng's heart tightened, but he pretended to smile lightly, his tone tinged with joking, "General, this won't do."

"She's the only thing I can't let go of in my life. If you start to miss her, then I won't have anything to fight for."

Although his words were joking, his eyes were extremely serious and he was obviously unwilling to reveal any real information about the female doctor.

Seeing this, Shen Yuhan became even more confused, but he also realized that Li Chengfeng would not easily reveal the name of the female doctor.

So, he smiled slightly and said calmly: "In that case, I won't ask any more questions."

"However, Li Chengfeng, a man like you would actually be so persistent for a woman. This really makes me look at you with new eyes."

Li Chengfeng laughed heartily, concealing his inner nervousness. "Who says a real man can't be trapped by love? You, Shen Yuhan, are a ruthless general, but I, Li Chengfeng, am also a man of flesh and blood."

"When you meet the right person, your heart might be softer than anyone else's."

Shen Yuhan sneered, but a hint of helplessness rose in his heart.

He thought he had already sealed away the past deep in his heart, but every time he heard any clues related to Fang Qingyue, his heart would be uncontrollably stirred.

That wound from the past seemed to have never truly healed.

Seeing that Shen Yuhan stopped asking questions, Li Chengfeng felt relieved and said goodbye with a fist: "General Shen, it's getting late. I'd better go back to the camp and rest."

"Thank you for your care these days. If there is an opportunity in the future, I, Li, will definitely repay you."

Shen Yuhan nodded and watched Li Chengfeng leave.

He stood there, his eyes deep, his heart still restless.

Who was that female doctor? The details in Li Chengfeng's words made him feel more and more similar to Fang Qingyue.

But she is clearly no longer alive, could it be...

Is there really some secret that he doesn't know?

He closed his eyes, took a long breath, and tried to calm himself down.

But in my mind, that familiar face became clearer and clearer.

Back in the tent, as soon as Shen Yuhan entered the door, he saw a mountain of military files on the desk.

His face remained grim, his fingers sliding lightly across the file, and he felt an irrepressible fatigue.

The continuous fighting in the past few days, coupled with the negotiations with Li Chengfeng, left him with almost no time to rest.

The heavy drinking at night also made him more and more exhausted, but he knew that only by not stopping could he temporarily numb the pain in his heart.

A subordinate walked into the tent and saw Shen Yuhan busy with military affairs. He couldn't help but step forward and advise: "General, you have hardly slept these past few days. The battle is already decided. Why don't you rest for a while and continue tomorrow?"

Shen Yuhan raised his head slightly, his eyes still cold: "No need, today's matter must be dealt with."

His subordinates looked at him with some concern: "General, if you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it..."

Shen Yuhan waved his hand coldly, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty: "I know my limits."

The men retreated helplessly, and Shen Yuhan continued to bury his head in the files.

His eyes were fixed on the military intelligence reports, but the female doctor mentioned by Li Chengfeng kept flashing in his mind.

Every time he stopped working for a moment, the image of Fang Qingyue would flood into his mind uncontrollably, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the confusion in his heart, and focused his attention on the military affairs at hand.

"Only by constantly working can I forget her temporarily..."

Shen Yuhan smiled bitterly in his heart.

But even though he was so restrained, Fang Qingyue's shadow still stubbornly lingered in his heart and could not be shaken off.

As the night deepened, the tent was completely silent. Only the candlelight on the table occasionally flickered, casting a shadow on Shen Yuhan's face.

After finishing the last piece of military business, he closed the file and rubbed his brows tiredly.

These days, the war in Jiangnan had just been settled, and he led his army to fight for days without a moment's rest.

Coupled with the figure of Fang Qingyue that always lingered in his mind, that kind of hidden pain followed him like a shadow, like a sharp thorn, deeply piercing his heart, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

Shen Yuhan stood up and prepared to pour a cup of tea to relieve the dull pain in his chest.
