How could Xu Zhuohua, a frail woman with her arms tied, possibly outrun Cheng Muyun?
He was tackled to the ground with a firm grip, Cheng Muyun's arms wrapped around her stomach and shoulders, his knees on the ground, not pressing down on Xu Zhuohua.
An explosion was heard.
The massive shockwave slammed the two of them to the ground.
Xu Zhuohua felt a buzzing in her head, along with tinnitus and dizziness.
Am I dead again?
"Xu Zhuohua! Xu Zhuohua!" Cheng Muyun turned Xu Zhuohua over and shook her repeatedly, and many people immediately gathered around her.
"Stop shaking me, am I dead?"
Cheng Muyun pulled the person into his arms and wept with joy.
Because Xu Zhuohua was too thin, the grenade detached along with the fuse when it was pulled, so Xu Zhuohua didn't have any grenades on him when he ran away.
When Cheng Muyun ran over, he kicked the grenade aside and then tackled Xu Zhuohua to the ground.
To prevent her from being harmed by the shockwave.
Xu Zhuohua also realized what was happening. The ropes binding her were untied, and she hugged Cheng Muyun's body, bursting into tears.
Good heavens! I almost died again!
Then her hand touched a warm, sticky liquid. Xu Zhuohua froze, raised her hand, and both palms were stained red with blood.
Xu Zhuohua panicked. She broke free from Cheng Muyun's embrace and saw that Cheng Muyun's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Cheng Muyun, you're injured!"
The man raised his hand and gently pinched Xu Zhuohua's cheek, his tone very gentle, "I know."
Xu Zhuohua frowned deeply, "Does it hurt?"
The man shook his head. "It doesn't hurt."
Xu Zhuohua slapped his hand away, "Liar, how could it not hurt?"
He used his own body as a human cushion; the impact of three grenades would definitely not have resulted in minor injuries.
"Quickly find someone to treat your injuries."
Xu Zhuohua pushed Cheng Muyun's shoulder, and Cheng Muyun slowly helped Xu Zhuohua stand up, then took off his military uniform and shirt.
The back of the military tent looked like it had been burned, stained with blood.
The blood on the snow-white shirt pierced Xu Zhuohua's eyes like a knife.
Disinfecting alcohol was poured on him as if it were free, and Cheng Muyun immediately clenched his fists, revealing the muscle lines on his arms and the veins bulging out like earthworms.
Xu Zhuohua couldn't help but look, but Cheng Muyun grabbed her arm and forced her to sit opposite him.
Disinfecting, cleaning shrapnel, stitching up wounds, and finally wrapping bandages, Cheng Muyun didn't utter a single cry. The sweat on his head and chest was like a wet wash.
Xu Zhuohua could only watch helplessly, feeling heartbroken and distressed.
This is the second time Cheng Muyun has been injured because of her.
If last time he could be excused by saying it was for the sake of heading east to the south, then he could find a reason to absolve himself.
There's no excuse this time; everyone can see that Cheng Muyun considers Xu Zhuohua a very important person.
Chen Hede could see it, Liang Shaozun could see it too, and she had to understand it now, even if she didn't understand it at first.
Cheng Muyun might really like her.
Whether it's about physical appearance or about traveling east or south, he did enough to make a woman fall for him.
But Xu Zhuohua didn't think that way. She longed to be loved, but that person absolutely could not be Cheng Muyun!
She just wanted to live peacefully until 1949.
How are you?
"It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Although Cheng Muyun was used to getting injured, the pain in his flesh would not lessen just because he was injured many times.
Xu Zhuohua didn't know how to express her concern, so she simply didn't. "Liang Shaozun admitted himself that he harmed your older brother."
Cheng's expression immediately changed. "Really?"
Xu Zhuohua nodded, "It's true, he said it himself. Cheng Muyun, can you still go and arrest him now?"
Cheng Muyun said, "Chen Hede has already gone to stop him. The signal flare just now shows that Chen Hede has stopped them."
Xu Zhuohua breathed a sigh of relief. "You guys are really amazing. You caught the person so quickly."
Cheng Muyun finished dressing, draped the military cloak over Xu Zhuohua's shoulders, buttoned it up, then gently pinched the tip of Xu Zhuohua's nose, took Xu Zhuohua's hand, and said, "Let's go."
Where to?
"You want to know what happened? Let's go meet up with Chen Hede now, and I'll tell you what happened in the car."
Last night, Chen Hede released the news that Huang Sanchong had been captured. Then, Cheng Muyun's men continued to pretend to look for Xu Zhuohua in the city, while secretly keeping an eye on the Liang family's movements.
After receiving the news, Liang Shaozun rushed to the church in the west of the city.
Because Cheng Yuguang was pestering Director Liang at the Liang family to sort out the military supplies, Director Liang didn't have time to help Liang Shaozun.
When Liang Shaozun began cleaning up the warehouse, Chen Hede's men cut off all contact with the area around the church, trapping them like turtles in a jar.
Actually, if Xu Zhuohua hadn't been kidnapped, Cheng Yuguang would have planned to launch a full-scale attack once he arrived with his men.
Later, Liang Shaozun suggested that they stay away from the church, so the two agreed to split up and divert Liang Shaozun's attention.
Because they cannot touch the French church, this is also an opportunity to lure Liang Shaozun out.
After listening, Xu Zhuohua couldn't help but sigh that the two of them combined were as capable as Zhuge Liang.
What brilliant strategy! They turned a crisis into an opportunity. I really want to give them a thumbs up!
"Are you going to take me to find Chen Hede?" Xu Zhuohua asked worriedly.
Cheng Muyun nodded, "I've thought it through this time. I can only feel at ease if I have you by my side."
Xu Zhuohua was speechless; she now seemed to have become an accessory to Cheng Muyun.
The car stopped in front of a courtyard that looked desolate and dilapidated. It was a standard Hui-style courtyard house, and although it had been around for a long time, it was still spacious and bright.
