In the middle of the night, a convoy entered a military hospital within a certain base in Beijing. After all the wounded were taken off the vehicles, they were arranged into wards for treatnt. Luo Zheng and Lan Xue were also taken to wards for examination as patients. Having traveled for more than two hours to avoid leaving any aftereffects from the bumps, Luo Zheng's examination was conducted by Wu Miao. Luo Zheng's physical constitution was extraordinary, with a recovery ability that surpassed ordinary people, which couldn't be easily discovered. Wu Miao was Luo Zheng's dedicated doctor.
After the examination, Luo Zheng stayed in the ward and fell into a deep sleep, putting all the matters behind him. With Shadow around, Luo Zheng was very reassured and slept soundly until morning. Seeing Lan Xue still asleep in the adjacent bed, he didn't disturb her and stepped outside to the small square, slowly stretching his body, breathing in the fresh morning air, feeling refreshed.
At this mont, Luo Zheng saw Hong ihua rushing over with a solemn expression. Luo Zheng was startled and imdiately realized sothing had happened. He quickly approached to ask, "What happened? At such an early hour, where did sothing go wrong?"
Hong ihua looked around, ensured no one was eavesdropping, and said in a low voice, "We just received news that soone attacked the sanatorium last night. There were ten attackers, all dressed as ninjas. They killed thirteen staff mbers, fifteen guards, and injured twenty-three guards. All the injuries are severe, and they are currently being rescued."
"What?" Luo Zheng was shocked, instantly thinking of Shijing Ye, a rising star of the Shijing family, Japan's new generation's top expert, and also a top fighter of the Chrysanthemum Group. It must have been him leading the sneak attack. His expression turned cold as he asked, "What about Shadow? How are they?"
"Two of his n were wounded, lightly injured, the others are fine, and Shadow is also unhard. Of the ten ninjas, one escaped, and the others were all killed. Shadow said the one who got away might be Shijing Ye. His figure seed familiar and very much like the assailant from the last hospital ambush, likely the sa person," Hong ihua said in a low voice.
"He still got away. Shadow was prepared, yet they still succeeded in the sneak attack. It seems that the ninjas in this attack were no ordinary ones; otherwise, Shadow wouldn't have suffered this setback. The enemy struck hard, but fortunately, the patients were moved, and they didn't discover our plan to move under the cover. Otherwise, it would have been troubleso," Luo Zheng said angrily.
"I see it differently. They could kill so many of us, evidently well-prepared. It might even be intentional. They knowingly jumped into a trap, for them, it doesn't matter where they make a move or who they kill. They just didn't expect Shadow to lead the defense and greatly underestimated the strength of Shadow and the others," Hong ihua said quietly.
"You an this group might co to Beijing to hunt us down?" Luo Zheng sharply sensed the undertone of Hong ihua's words and asked.
"The possibility isn't high. If the sneak attack had succeeded last night and they had retreated unscathed, they might have co to Beijing. But they were nearly wiped out, with only Shijing Ye escaping, so the likelihood of them returning is low. Having suffered setbacks consecutively, how many people can they mobilize? They've taken a hit and will certainly need to lay low for a while. Unfortunately, we're all injured and lack the strength for a counterattack. Otherwise, now would be a pri ti for retaliation. I reported this, and Wu Jin said he would arrange for others to follow up and let us focus on recovery," Hong ihua said.
Luo Zheng paused, contemplating, as the sun shone warmly on him, feeling very comfortable. The gentle breeze was refreshing. Luo Zheng took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Alright, if the monk ran away, the temple won't. When we recover, the first ones we're targeting are the Japanese. We'll take down their so-called Chrysanthemum Group in one go."
"Quite ambitious, but I support this decision. These bastards keep causing trouble. How could I possibly miss out on killing Japanese? It's settled then. I'll start gathering intelligence, and you all recuperate well. Don't leave this place for now," Hong ihua instructed.
"Alright, I'll leave the base to you," Luo Zheng agreed, nodding.
"Alright, Lan Xing and I will retreat now. Is Xue Er still sleeping? We won't say goodbye then. Tell everyone for to heal well," Hong ihua said, turning to leave.
Watching Hong ihua leave, Luo Zheng slowly stretched his body, practicing the family breathing skill, which helped in rapidly healing injuries. After a while of stretching, Lan Xue walked out of the room, also starting to stretch slowly. Luo Zheng relayed Hong ihua's words to Lan Xue. Hearing about the sacrifices, Lan Xue's face also turned grave, falling into thought.
After a while, Lan Xue said, "I also support your decision. Once we're healed, let's deal with the Japanese first, then tidy up the surrounding Koreans, Indians, and other countries one by one. Not a single mber of this so-called Eight-Nation Alliance should be spared, ultimately settling scores with the Russians and Sam Country."
"Makes sense," Luo Zheng agreed.
After stretching for a while, they went to the cafeteria for breakfast and recounted the events to Ghost Hand and Mountain Eagle. Both were extrely outraged upon hearing and clamored to kill the Japanese, fully endorsing Luo Zheng's plan. For both of them, being able to go to the battlefield and kill enemies was enough, and killing the Japanese was even more exhilarating.
In the ensuing days, everyone healed in this military restricted area, days passing smoothly without disturbances. At first, Luo Zheng found it a bit uneasy, considering Shijing Ye was no pushover and even Shadow couldn't restrain him. It would have been easy for him to infiltrate here.
Two weeks passed without any movent, and Luo Zheng figured Shijing Ye temporarily abandoned the attack. As for Jackson, Luo Zheng received news through various channels that the country had taken an unprecedentedly tough stance, designating Jackson as an undesirable person, expelling him, and banning him from entry forever. Regarding the car crash incident, Sam Country covered half the dical expenses, and the country settled the other half. Little Dao and others also received compensation, bringing the matter to a close.
All of a sudden, everything cald down, as if nothing had ever happened. Shijing Ye was still silent, Jackson had returned to his country, and no assassins ca to take on any missions to kill. Although the Assassin Network's mission hadn't been canceled and even had its reward increased, days were calm and peaceful, and everyone's injuries improved day by day.
A month later, with almost complete recovery, everyone started recovery training. Having ample at every day, if they didn't train, they'd gain weight, which is absolutely unacceptable for active-duty soldiers. With excess ti, Luo Zheng would go ho to see his family, spending ti with them but never ntioning his injuries.
The new house at ho had been renovated with a simple, natural style, which Luo Zheng really liked. Apart from regular training, most of his ti was spent at ho with his parents. These leisurely days were sothing Luo Zheng thoroughly enjoyed, and his parents were also extrely happy. It had been years since Luo Zheng had so much ti at ho, allowing the family to be together joyfully.
Another month later, Wu Miao conducted a comprehensive check on Luo Zheng and others, confirming full recovery. After signing the report, Luo Zheng knew it was ti to seek revenge on the little Japanese. He imdiately gathered everyone for a eting, taking a helicopter to the base overnight, vanishing into the night sky quickly.
