"Still no news at all? It's like he vanished into thin air! How could someone so grown up be taken away from the hospital without a single clue? What use are you bunch of good-for-nothings to me!"
With a wave of his hand, everything on the table was swept off, shattering and breaking all over the floor.
The room was filled with a suffocating silence; no one dared to even breathe.
The person kneeling on the ground stood up straight, even though his right arm was bandaged around his neck and blood was gushing from his left leg.
Cang Wei clenched his teeth, his fists were tightly clenched, and his narrowed eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
"Any movement from the Blazing Flame Gang?"
"No, everything is normal."
"Then keep searching! Keep a close eye on the Blazing Flame Gang; don't miss a single clue!"
"Yes, elder brother."
"go out!"
Everyone quickly left, leaving only Xiao Yan, his trusted confidant and strategist, standing there silently, watching the man who resembled a tyrannical dragon.
Cang Wei slammed his fist down, and with a loud bang, the table instantly turned into shattered planks, lying pitifully on the ground.
Looking at the shattered remains on the ground, Xiao Yan finally couldn't help but speak.
"Brother, please don't take offense at my harsh words. But are you torturing Ling Ruoke, or are you torturing yourself? If you're torturing her, wouldn't it be better if the Blazing Flame Gang captured her? They would definitely help you torture her properly, perhaps even making her wish she were dead, wouldn't that suit your wishes?"
"I will take my own revenge; I don't need anyone else's help!"
Cang Weiwo stood up and turned to face the wall. His eyes opened and then closed again, his chest heaving rapidly.
"If the Blazing Flame Gang has already killed someone, or tortured someone to death, do you expect them to bring the person back to life so you can take revenge?"
"Then wipe out the entire Blazing Flame Gang."
He answered without hesitation, through gritted teeth. Whether it was hatred or impatience, only he himself knew.
Xiao Yan shook his head, said nothing more, turned around, opened the door, and left.
Ling Ruoke, if you dare to die without my permission, I will drag you out of your grave and whip your corpse!
He slammed his fist against the wall, leaving five bloody marks on his five knuckles.
...
Perhaps it was because she had finally let go of the heavy burden on her heart, or perhaps the knot in her heart had loosened, that Ruoke's nerves were no longer so tense.
As the saying goes, a peaceful mind leads to a healthy body. So, Ruoke's health improved day by day, which made everyone very happy. Although she was still very thin, at least she no longer looked so haggard and frightening.
In public, she always smiles, making everyone happy for her. But when she's alone, she often spaces out. Her eyes are vacant, her thoughts wander, and it's unclear what she's thinking.
Tan Peishi encountered this situation several times and knew in her heart that such a deep wound could not be healed so easily; she just felt sorry for her.
Finally, the door closed, and the room returned to silence.
Ling Ruoke slowly opened her eyes, sat up, and let out a soft breath.
With so many people caring for her, how could she not get better? But she herself didn't know how to get better.
She raised her hand to touch her chest, where it felt hollowed out and always ached. She could only endure it, unable to do anything about it.
Waking up in the middle of the night, she felt an even greater emptiness and pain there. So she couldn't sleep all night long, waiting for dawn to break.
"She's asleep?"
A deep male voice suddenly sounded from outside the door; it was one that I had gradually become familiar with recently.
While imprisoned in the cage, she had fantasized about that voice, that person, more than once. It was like a lifeline, which she grasped tightly in her hands. But when she actually stood before him, she realized that fantasy and reality are ultimately different.
Ling Ruoke quickly lay down, covered herself with the blanket, turned her head to the side, and closed her eyes.
"Yeah, he must be tired. He just slept for a while. Captain, aren't you afraid of being disciplined for sneaking out like this every day?"
Tan Peishi joked with a smile.
Huo Qingfeng glanced at her sideways and sneered.
"For the next month, Fu Peigang will undergo special training and will not be allowed to leave the camp!"
"Hey, Captain, this isn't fair! You can't use this to settle personal scores!"
Huo Qingfeng grunted twice, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and squinted at the sky.
Tan Peishi shrugged and relaxed her shoulders, looking up at the sky and sighing:
"Oh my, our Ruo Ke is such a charming little enchantress, she's so bewitched by someone that he's completely lost his mind and doesn't even remember his own name!"
Huo Qingfeng treated the couple equally and sent them off immediately with lightning speed.
Tan Peishi nimbly jumped back. The captain always used this trick, she was used to it, and would never fall for it.
"Alright, I have to get back to work. If you want to see Sleeping Beauty, hurry up and go in, or you'll miss your chance! But Captain, don't try anything funny!"
Before the captain could unleash his fury, Tan Peishi dodged and ran away, leaving behind a string of joyful laughter that lingered like silver bells for a long time.
"You brat!"
Huo Qingfeng took a deep drag on his cigarette, threw it away, and stomped it out. After waiting a while for the smoke to dissipate, he pushed open the door and entered.
Behind the purple gauze curtain, she slept peacefully. Her hands were crossed over her abdomen, and her head was slightly tilted inward. By leaning slightly forward, one could see her long eyelashes; her face was still pale, but her lips were exceptionally red and luscious.
He stood quietly for a while before lifting the mosquito net and sitting down on the edge of the bed. He carefully lifted the blanket and placed her hands inside. Her body was still very weak, and the slightest carelessness could worsen her condition.
Having been a reconnaissance soldier, how could he not know that she wasn't actually asleep? "So, you're pretending to be asleep to avoid seeing me?"
He ran his fingers through his incredibly short hair and felt a sudden urge to take a deep drag on his cigarette.
He resisted the urge to smoke, but couldn't help reaching out to stroke her pale, thin face. Her face was already smaller than his palm, and now it was only half the size of his hand.
Perhaps the calluses on her palms made her uncomfortable, for Ruoke let out a soft moan and turned her face away. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were tightly pressed together.
After gazing at her for a long time, he suddenly leaned down and kissed her soft lips. The woman beneath him froze instantly, too afraid to move, even holding her breath.
Fearing she would suffocate, Huo Qingfeng had no choice but to let go.
Seeing that she was secretly breathing with her lips slightly parted, he suddenly lowered his head, covered her lips, and took the opportunity to insert his tongue inside.
Huo Qingfeng gently embraced her, blanket and all, and kissed her delicate lips deeply.
If her body stiffened terribly, she would feign a soft moan and reach out to push him away.
Huo Qingfeng tucked her waving hand under his armpit, tightened his grip, and kissed her deeply again and again.
These were the lips he had longed for, lips he had dreamt of countless times through the night.
