A biting wind suddenly blew against Shen Hongmei's body, making her shiver uncontrollably.
Despite reaching her physical limit, Shen Hongmei gritted her teeth and persevered.
More than twenty minutes passed, and she felt cold all over, her hands and feet were numb, as if she had lost all feeling.
Finally, she shakily buttoned up her cotton coat one button at a time, trying to ward off the biting cold.
However, the moment she completed that final movement, her body could no longer bear it, and she collapsed, trembling. She lay motionless on the ground, lifeless.
The sentries standing guard at the gate witnessed the man fall straight down, and of course they wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Although they already knew that the woman who had been standing at the entrance of the military region for more than half a month looking for Chief of Staff He was a "bad woman" who was trying to ruin Chief of Staff He's marriage.
But this should never be an excuse for them to turn a blind eye to life.
Upon discovering that Shen Hongmei had fainted, the sentry immediately reported the situation to his superiors without hesitation and rushed out to carry her away from the scene and back to the duty room.
At this moment, Shen Hongmei's face was flushed, her breathing was rapid and labored, and she was trembling incessantly as she was placed on the chair, clearly showing symptoms of severe cold.
The sentry was a man, and even though he knew what was going on with Shen Hongmei, he couldn't do anything about it. He could only move her a little closer to the stove.
After a long wait, the medic arrived and quickly took Shen Hongmei's temperature.
You wouldn't believe it until you took her temperature! Her body temperature had reached a staggering 40 degrees Celsius!
This frightened the two of them quite a bit, so they quickly gave her a fever reducer and said anxiously, "Her condition is quite serious. Our clinic is not equipped to provide effective treatment. She must be taken to the hospital immediately, otherwise her life may be in danger if the high fever continues."
Upon hearing this, the sentry was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he also had some doubts: If there is really danger, just send him over quickly, why are you wasting time talking to me?
I still have to stand guard! And this woman is so shameless, what if she tries to extort money from me if something happens? After all, I have to go home to marry Xiaofang during the New Year, I absolutely can't let this shameless woman get involved with me.
In fact, he had already called Chief of Staff He's bodyguard immediately to explain the situation.
The bodyguard named Liu Jian happened to be from the same hometown as him, so the two couldn't help but chat for a few more minutes on the phone.
This phone call confirmed his long-held suspicion: the woman had accompanied them on guard duty for so many days not for any other purpose, but to try and become their chief of staff's concubine.
You know, this is a new society now, and there are still such shameless women who are eager to become someone's concubine. Such women are utterly shameless! He'd better stay far away from them.
Therefore, when the medic suggested taking Shen Hongmei to the hospital, the sentry Xiao Wang subconsciously took a big step back and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, I can't take her to the hospital, I still have to stand guard."
The medic was taken aback by Xiao Wang's overreaction. This kid was usually known for his helpfulness; what was going on today? Was there some hidden story?
During this period, the news that Shen Hongmei had been waiting for Chief of Staff He outside the military region gate every day had already spread throughout the entire military region.
Could it be that this woman is really connected to Chief of Staff He? Is that why Xiao Wang is so secretive about her?
Thinking of this, the medic couldn't help but take a few steps back, deliberately keeping his distance from Shen Hongmei.
After all, Chief of Staff He is a notorious tyrant; it's best to avoid provoking him if possible.
At this moment, Shen Hongmei, who had been pretending to be unconscious, secretly peeked at the actions of the two people and was so angry that she was furious!
She had already decided to take advantage of this illness to stay at the military base.
After all, if an ordinary citizen like her, who abides by the law, suddenly faints at the entrance of the military region, the soldiers certainly wouldn't just sit idly by, right?
If she can successfully enter the military compound, she will find a way to find He Chaoyang.
Moreover, she had already found out that officers of He Chaoyang's rank were entitled to their own independent housing.
Once she gets into He Chaoyang's room, she can take off her clothes...
Even if He Chaoyang is truly an upright gentleman, like Liu Xiahui who has no interest in her, she doesn't believe that He Chaoyang would be indifferent to his official career and reputation if she shouted to attract others.
By then, won't he have to obediently accept himself?
Everything was proceeding according to plan. She pretended to faint and was carried in by the sentries.
But now these two people are just leaving her here unattended. What does that mean?
She's so sick, shouldn't she be sent to the military hospital or clinic?
After waiting for a while, seeing that the two people still had no intention of caring about her, Shen Hongmei felt really bad.
The high fever had made her head extremely blurry, so she could no longer pretend. She pretended to cough in great pain, then asked with a bewildered expression, "What's wrong with me?"
The two, who were exchanging sharp glances, were startled when they heard the sound.
Xiao Wang was clearly not very friendly to Shen Hongmei. As soon as he heard that she was awake, he didn't care whether she was still sick or had a high fever. He blurted out without any politeness, "Now that you're awake, you should go home. This is the military base. It's really inconvenient to leave a female comrade like you here."
