Shadow, like Luo Zheng, is a pure soldier who prefers offense, thinking first about how to find a place and then eliminate it. Hong ihua is an expert in espionage, and their ways of thinking are completely different, but that doesn't an Shadow rejects Hong ihua's tactics. On the contrary, he readily agrees, as for soldiers, thods are neither good nor bad, as long as they work. What works is the best.
With the plan confird, everyone went to prepare their own tasks. Luo Zheng, as an injured soldier, continued to enjoy the treatnt of a wounded person. He first went to check on Lei Jian and the others' injuries. The wounded from the Mountain Eagle Team and the others were all recuperating in this hospital. He chatted with them for a while, reminded them to be careful, and then returned to his room.
In the ward, Lan Xing was chatting with Lan Xue, looking very happy. Luo Zheng pushed the door open and walked in, seeing this harmonious scene, he smiled too. The ward was a one-bedroom, one-living room setup, a ho-style layout, considered an advanced ward. The living room was for resting, and the room had an extra patient's bed for Luo Zheng and Lan Xue to use.
Their relationship was already public and had the approval of both families, so sharing a ward together didn't cause any gossip. Both were rational people, and out of respect for their love, they wouldn't cross the final line until their wedding day.
Luo Zheng sat on the sofa, peeled an apple, and handed it to Lan Xue. She naturally took it and started eating, looking like a happy young couple, making Lan Xing envious. She laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, when will you find a guy for too? I'd be content if he's half as good as you."
"You'd better choose for yourself. Which of the n around you isn't outstanding?" Luo Zheng laughed, picking up another apple, not bothering to peel it, biting directly into it. Watching the Lan sisters chat, he felt this was life, no smoke, no killing, peaceful, harmonious, real.
After devouring the apple in a few bites, Luo Zheng briefly explained the plan discussed earlier and said to Lan Xing, "Did you bring your laptop? If possible, you can start working now; it's not safe here. Go to the security room."
"You're kicking out to give you two so space, right? Fine, I won't be the third wheel. Sister, I'm leaving." Lan Xing glared at Luo Zheng but readily agreed, taking her bag and leaving.
"What do you plan to do?" Lan Xue asked with a smile as she watched this scene.
"Once the news of my poisoning gets out, soone will definitely co to confirm it. During this ti, we'll both have to stay here and not go anywhere, to prevent any leaks." Luo Zheng said seriously.
"Alright, I don't mind, as long as I'm with you." Lan Xue chuckled, "By the way, it's ti to apply my dicine. I wonder if the scar on my back will ever go away, it's so ugly, you better not dislike it."
"It's not ugly, I think it's beautiful, really." Luo Zheng said seriously. The deep scar left by a knife on her back was sothing Luo Zheng understood well; how could he possibly dislike it? Wouldn't he still be human? He got up, locked the door, and helped Lan Xue up and walked towards the inner room.
Lan Xue naturally lay on the bed. Luo Zheng gently lifted her shirt, looking at the shocking scar. His guilt deepened, along with his love for Lan Xue. He took out the ointnt prepared by Wu Miao, which was said to clear scars, and gently applied it on her scar. Gently touching it, Luo Zheng said affectionately, "Xue Er..."
"Mm?" Lan Xue softly humd.
"It's okay now." Luo Zheng replied, tenderly continuing to apply the ointnt.
"Mm!" Lan Xue sensed what Luo Zheng wanted to say and his passionate heart, and she knowingly let out a gentle hum, feeling that everything she did was worth it. She couldn't help but happily close her eyes and smile, their hearts bonded tightly together. Words weren't needed, nor were flowers or a diamond ring. A glance, a greeting, even an unfinished sentence, and they could understand each other's intentions and deep affection.
After a while, Luo Zheng finished applying the ointnt and took a small fan to gently fan it, tenderly saying, "Xue Er, I'll sing you a mountain song from our hotown, okay?"
"Sure." Lan Xue agreed happily. In her mory, Luo Zheng wasn't soone with musical talent. His initiative to sing for her filled her heart and mind with intense love.
"The green mountains, the green waters, the green paths, you, the distant green one; your green hair, green clothes, took away my green longing, green affection. The tree at the village entrance green again and again, when will you, the green one, return to my side?" A slight lancholy, intense emotion, revealed a young man's longing for his lover, piercing Lan Xue's heart.
"Please don't sing such sad songs anymore, okay? I'll never leave you, ever." Lan Xue said devotedly, grasping Luo Zheng's hand, with her cool eyes moist, brimming with deep love, deep as the sea.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have sung such a song that made you upset. I suddenly thought of my grandfather. He too often stood alone at the village entrance and sang this self-composed mountain song until he left us. I, too, am afraid of losing you, hoping we'll be good, forever." Luo Zheng said with deep affection.
"Mm, good, forever." Their hands tightly clutched each other's, hearts deeply connected, unwilling to part. Intense love spread throughout the room.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Soone untily knocked on the door.
Luo Zheng gently wiped Lan Xue's tears and said tenderly, "Rest well for a bit. If you're tired, take a nap. I've got everything outside." He bent down and affectionately kissed Lan Xue's face before turning to leave.
Lan Xue watched Luo Zheng's back with an infatuated smile, softly murmuring, "I am definitely not the one who will leave in Qingqing's song. No matter the storm, we'll live under the sa roof, die in the sa grave." Her affectionate eyes grew more determined.
Luo Zheng went to the outer living room and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's , sothing happened." The caller was Ghost Hand.
Luo Zheng opened the door, and Ghost Hand whispered, "We caught a suspicious person, who seed to be an observer here to confirm the situation. Shadow wants to know if you want to check it out?"
"Oh? How did you catch him?" Luo Zheng curiously asked.
"The guy lingered at the hospital entrance for a while, then answered a phone call while getting his shoes shined. He spoke fluent Huaxia, but carelessly said 'hi', seemingly obeying soone's order. The shoeshiner was our intelligence agent and reported it imdiately. Shadow and his team captured him." Ghost Hand explained with a smile.
"Oh? That's quite unlucky for him." Luo Zheng also smiled and said.
"There are intelligence personnel all around, from vendors to flower sellers, to shoeshiners. The National Security side sent support; sneaking in won't be easy." Ghost Hand added.
"Shadow indeed did a good job. Let him handle the interrogation himself. I won't go this ti. I need to stay here to protect Lan Xue. An observer wouldn't know much. Just report back to with the results later. Once the observer is captured, the enemy will know I'm fine and will definitely start a series of assassinations. Inform our brothers to be extra careful." Luo Zheng instructed.
"Yes." Ghost Hand acknowledged and turned to leave.
