Chapter 423 - 0423: About Lu Jiang3_1
Feng Qingxue wiped her tears, flipping back to the earlier pages of the book to carefully reread all the information about Lu Jiang.
She needed to find out the cause of Lu Jiang’s death. She needed to help Lu Jiang avoid the damage from shrapnel. She didn’t want her hero to leave this continuously exciting world at the age of sixty-five.
He fought on the front lines throughout his lifetime. Throughout his life, he bore the weight of the nation and the army on his shoulders, persistently battling for the country’s territories.
He never got to witness the return of Hong Kong and Macau to China. He did not witness the country’s leap of development.
Wasn’t it just shrapnel? Wasn’t it merely shrapnel puncturing his heart? She had bulletproof vests, state-of-the-art bulletproof vests, with a dozen more in storage. She planned to adapt the vests, so Lu Jiang could wear them covertly underneath his clothes. As long as he put on the vest whenever he went to the battlefield, she refused to believe Lu Jiang’s body would again fill up with dozens of shrapnel pieces that couldn’t be removed!
Her hero, the nation’s hero, did not die on the battlefield, but instead ceased to breathe on the sterile surgical table.
She dared not imagine the agony and regret he must have felt at that time!
Wait a minute!
Feng Qingxue rubbed her eyes. The book said that the most lethal piece of shrapnel in Lu Jiang’s body was from a battlefield in ’61. In order to cover the withdrawal of his comrades, he was hit by more than thirty pieces of shrapnel. One even sliced through an artery, causing severe bleeding, and nearly took his life. After being rushed to the military hospital, several doctors jointly operated to remove some of the shrapnel, but some parts were inoperable, with a significant portion lodged between his chest and stomach. Since then, he suffered phantom pains that would flare up, especially on rainy, gloomy days.
