Chapter 952: Chapter 952: I’m Rich

He Chen reached out and pinched her face, “Yin Lao Er, you really surprise me.”

Yin Mo frowned and struggled a bit, “I’ll go back and dry it for you.”

“Dry it?” He Chen let go of his hand, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette, “My clothes can’t be washed, each shirt costs three hundred thousand, the trousers…”

“I have money.” Yin Mo interrupted him confidently, “I can compensate you.”

He Chen squinted at her serious expression, “Where did you get it?”

Yin Mo smiled slightly, “I borrowed it from Qi Zai.”

He Chen looked at her expressionlessly, turned his head, rolled down the car window, and took a fierce drag of his cigarette.

Damn, how annoying.

…

Naypyidaw Capital Hospital.

Xia Siyu had already been pushed into the operating room, with Su Moshi, the Surgical Miracle Worker, personally taking the lead.

Yin Mo didn’t show up, instead, He Chen forcibly took her back to a secluded private apartment on the outskirts of the city.

In the high-class ward, Li Qiao was slowly eating dumplings, while Shen Qingye and Song Liao waited outside the operating room for the results.

On the hospital bed, Luoyu, who had just finished a check-up, was still receiving IV fluids. She was obviously extremely tired but still forced herself not to rest.

“Get some sleep, Lao Wu will be fine.” Li Qiao threw the meat filling into the trash and bit the dumpling skin, comforting her in a calm voice.

Luoyu’s breathing suddenly became rapid, she turned her eyes to look at Li Qiao beside the bed, “Madam, Miss Xia did it to save me…”

“No.” Li Qiao raised her eyes, her gaze tranquil, “She acted on instinct, just not wanting to owe you a favor. So, you don’t need to feel burdened.”

Luoyu didn’t really understand what kind of friendship existed between the Border Seven Sons.

But she completely trusted anything Li Qiao said.

Luoyu lowered her eyelids, breathed a sigh of relief as if a weight had been lifted, “I thought you would blame me for not protecting Miss Xia.”

“Blame you for what?” Li Qiao handed her a cup of water, a faint smile on her lips, “Lao Wu must have had her reasons, you’ve already done well.”

Luoyu looked out the window with red eyes, after a long time she murmured, “Thank you, Madam…”

…

Two hours later, Su Moshi emerged from the operating room.

Li Qiao leaned against the wall and looked up, raising her eyebrows slightly.

Su Moshi took off his mask, long hours of concentration showed in the tiredness between his brows, he spoke hoarsely, “The bullet has been removed, the bone was injured, she lost a lot of blood, we have to wait until she wakes up to determine if any functional nerves were damaged.”

Li Qiao straightened herself with a nudge of her heel against the wall, “When will she wake up?”

“It’s hard to say.” Su Moshi chose his words carefully, his gaze passed over Shen Qingye and others, “Maybe soon, maybe in a day or two.”

Li Qiao lowered her eyes in thought for a few seconds, then caught a glimpse of a figure slowly walking from the other end of the corridor.

Yun Lih still came.

Su Moshi and the others also looked in that direction, Shen Qingye quickly waved, “Brother Lih, Xia Lao Wu has been found.”

Li Qiao glanced at him, tugged at the corner of her mouth but said nothing.

On the way to the hospital, she had already learned everything from Shang Yu.

Yun Lih’s health condition didn’t allow it, he didn’t go into the mountain but waited on the periphery.

He had come by helicopter with Shang Yu, deliberately avoiding the control zone’s air route.

And the Border Five Sons were delayed a bit because they wore bomb disposal suits, thus both teams perfectly missed each other.

Yun Lih walked with large strides to the door of the operating room, just as the medical staff pushed the hospital bed out.

Xia Siyu’s eyes were tightly closed, her face was bloodless, and her entire bandaged arm was still stained with blood.

Yun Lih stared intently at her, his eyes filled with dense, unbreakable emotions.

Su Moshi instructed the medical staff to send Xia Siyu to the ward, then turned to Yun Lih and explained the condition.

Yun Lih’s Adam’s apple bobbed, he placed his hand on Su Moshi’s shoulder and squeezed, “Thank you for your hard work.”

…

The other courtyard.

Wei Ang stood behind Shang Zonghai, his face serious as he reported everything that happened in the jungle.

“Did Meng Tao say anything?” Shang Zonghai leisurely sipped his tea.

Wei Ang pondered for a few seconds, “When we went into the mountain, his deputy told us to leave as soon as we found the person. It’s said that Bai Mingyin dispatched a surprise team, possibly planning to enter the mountain today.”

Shang Zonghai put down his teacup, his fingers rubbing the rim, thoughtful, “Since the person has been rescued, there’s no need to keep that jungle.”

“Do you mean…”

Shang Zonghai casually picked up a medical book and turned a page, speaking with a deeper meaning, “Give Meng Tao a call, a minefield is a dangerous place, keeping it is asking for trouble.”

Wei Ang understood, “I’ll handle it right away.”

Shang Zonghai watched his back and leisurely added, “Tell him to act first.”

“Yes, Master.”

That morning at ten, a large-scale chain explosion suddenly occurred in the uninhabited minefield north of Liao Mountain, alarming the government and the military department. Bai Mingyin, as the lead military department commander, took people to the scene first to investigate.

Fortunately, Liao Mountain is far from the city and is a military-controlled area, so it didn’t cause public panic.

However, Bai Mingyin was extremely furious, sending his trusted aide to contact Na Ji, but there was no response for a long time.

The aide spoke gravely in his ear, “Commander, I estimate… Na Ji likely didn’t make it.”

“Worthless.” Bai Mingyin’s eyes were filled with gloom, his brow furrowed with hostility, “Quietly take people in, alive or dead, they must be found.”

The aide was about to speak when another explosion echoed from the jungle outside the car window.

He trembled in his breathing, stammering, “Commander, Na Ji probably triggered a series of booby traps, sending our people in now is a suicide mission.”

In just a moment, the jungle trees fell, grass and debris flew, and the uninhabited minefield was a mess.

Bai Mingyin gazed grimly at the minefield below the cliff, closing his eyes and pinching his brow, “File a report, say there have been too many drills lately, and the area around Liao Mountain is under full lockdown, indefinite reopening.”

The aide nodded, just as the phone in Bai Mingyin’s pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID, frowned, his expression slightly impatient.

But when he answered, he still brought out a respectful smile, “Old Lord, what are your orders?”

“What did you say?” Bai Mingyin repeated, word by word, his eyes squinting tightly, full of turbulent undercurrents.

In less than three minutes, Bai Mingyin hung up the phone, his entire being exuding a killing aura, “Everyone’s a damn waste!”

…

That night, in the high-class ward, the monitoring instruments made a steady beeping sound.

The incandescent light shone on Xia Siyu’s colorless cheeks. It had been nearly ten hours since the surgery ended, but she still hadn’t woken up.

In the adjacent ward, Luoyu was already able to get out of bed and walk; at this moment, she was squatting in the small garden outside the building, smoking with a limp.

This Capital Hospital is very safe, with tight security by bodyguards both inside and outside the building, occasionally seeing one or two somewhat familiar faces.

But Luoyu was injured, her mind was not clear; she couldn’t recall where she had seen those people, no matter how she tried.
