Luo Ziling’s words stunned the beautiful woman, and her face imdiately flushed a pale red.
She fiercely glared at him in mild irritation, the faint smile on her face having disappeared without a trace.
What he‘d said hadn’t gone unnoticed by the instructor, who hadn’t gone far.
The lieutenant colonel instantly lost his footing, shocked at Luo Ziling’s words. His left foot tripped over his right leg, and he staggered and almost fell.
In the end, he ran away in a sorry state with a speed that could be compared to a high-level sprint runner, as if there was soone chasing after him.
Luo Ziling could not help but laugh at the sight of the lieutenant fleeing in such a state.
“Why are you looking for ?” Even though no one else was nearby, Luo Ziling still couldn’t help but feel sheepish as he said, “I said the wrong thing just now. What I ant to say was that I didn’t recognize you in your current state.”
‘The woman in front of him was very tall and beautiful. She wore a leather jacket and leather pants, giving her a cool appearance. She was the woman that Luo Ziling had saved behind the mountain in the northwest village half a month ago, but she’d gone missing after that.
Luo Ziling had initially thought that he would never see the woman again after she’d left in such a manner, but he did not expect to run into her again half a month later.
Now that he was looking at her, she seed to have recovered from her injuries and was no longer sickly.
‘As he looked at the woman’s cool appearance, then to the even cooler car beside her, Luo Ziling finally found the answer to a question he’d been puzzling over for a while now. This was an off-road vehicle with a military license plate, which ant that this woman was a soldier.
When she was injured, he’d noticed a five-star red flag armband around her upper arm. It was because of this armband that he’d picked up the woman without any hesitation, ran back to his ho in the heavy rain and tried his best to save her life.
he believed that if he had not reached out to save her in ti, this woman’s life would have been lost long ago.
If he had not found the injured woman and had left her to be discovered by soone else, he might not have been able to save her in ti.
After all, the wound on her chest had been inflicted at a vital area, and she had already lost a lot of blood at that point. If another few hours had passed, she might have died from blood loss.
Since he’s already borne witness to all of this woman’s secrets, Luo Ziling regarded her as an important person in his life. But now that she suddenly appeared in front of him today, he found that he couldn’t describe the surprise in his heart with words alone.
Otherwise, he would not have blurted out sothing that would so easily be misunderstood.
“Thank you for saving that day.” The woman’s angry expression had long disappeared, replaced by a slight shyness.
“But in the end, you left without saying goodbye,” Luo Ziling said. Thinking of the disappointnt he felt when he sped back ho that day and discovered that the woman had left, he let out a soft sigh.
“Tl give you an explanation next ti,” The woman replied, opening the front passenger door of the Humr. “I have sothing to ask of you today. I hope you can co with . By the way, my na is Linlan!”
This was the first ti she had taken the initiative when introducing herself to soone else. It was also the first ti in many years that she had spoken to aman in such a tone.
And it was all because he’d saved her life.
Also because he’d seen too many of her secrets.
It was mainly due to the latter reason that she felt a little awkward around him.
“Why do you want to go?” Luo Ziling was a little hesitant, and he imdiately let her know of his misgivings. “I still have military training today, and the instructor said that I can’t take leave.”
“Tve already taken leave for you,” Linlan patiently explained, “A… a comrade of mine has been injured, and I want you to go over and treat him.”
Hearing her words, he mulled them over in his head and agreed. ‘Alright, but I’ll need to bring sothing over.”
“What is it?”
“So dicine, acupuncture needles, and so other special items. I’ll leave them in the dormitory.”
Linlan imdiately agreed. “Alright, then I’ll wait for you here!”
At that, Luo Ziling ran off and returned in about ten minutes. He’d ran so fast that his face wasn’t even flushed, which surprised Linlan.
‘After the car drove away from the campus, Luo Ziling suddenly thought of a question. Unable to help his curiosity, he asked, “How did you know that I’m going to school here?”
“If you want to know, you’ll find out eventually.” Linlan had already reverted to her usual cold deanor, but her voice wasn’t as stiff as before. “Also, I hope you don’t pry into anything.”
“Oh? ! Does that an that you are soldiers in a very mysterious army?” Luo Ziling asked, his curiosity piqued even more.
When the lieutenant colonel had left earlier, he’d saluted Linlan.
It seed that her rank was even higher than the lieutenant colonel’s.
However, Linlan did not answer him, instead focusing on driving.
Luo Ziling felt like he was practically asking for trouble.
However, he firmly believed what he had just said; Linlan’s identity was clearly special, and the unit she was in was also veiled in secrecy.
Throughout the journey, neither of them spoke, but Luo Ziling was not surprised at this outco at all.
‘When he was treating her injuries, they had been together for so many days, yet this woman had not spoken more than 30 words in total. But just today, she had already spoken quite a lot to him.
The thing was, he did not want the two of them to ride in the sa car in utter silence. After thinking about it, he tried again, “Who do you want to treat? What kind of injuries does that person have?”
“You’ll know when we get there!” Unfortunately, she didn’t entertain his questions.
Luo Ziling gave up on asking anything more.
‘The car drove for nearly an hour. When Luo Ziling looked at his surroundings, they were already far away from the city. There were almost no houses on either side of the road.
Linlan was driving at a rather high speed. Using his rather terrible sense of distance, Luo Ziling estimated that they were at least a hundred miles away from the school by now.
On the way, the two did not talk much. Most of the ti, they were silent.
Luo Ziling felt rather uncomfortable at the situation, but Lin Lan did not seem to care at all.
Not long after, Luo Ziling saw a guard post appear down the road. Linlan slowed down the car.
Asentry with a gun walked out from the guard post to stop the car, but when he saw the car and license plate that Linlan was driving, he imdiately raised the bar and let the car pass.
After passing two guard posts, a few houses hidden in the woods ca into view.
There was a tall wall outside the houses, and there was a wire fence on the wall that separated the inside from the outside.
The iron door was tightly closed, and there were ard sentry guards standing outside it.
This ti, Linlan’s car did not drive in without any obstacles. Instead, she ended up being stopped by the guards. After their docunts were checked, they were allowed to go in.
After the car drove beyond the wall, Linlan reminded him in a low voice, ‘After you enter, don’t look around randomly. Don’t ask anything carelessly. If you have any questions, ask after you co out. I will send you back at that ti.”
Luo Ziling could only nod.
Linlan’s words made him extrely curious.
What was this place? What kind of soldier was Linlan? Who was the patient that he was sent here to treat?
