Chapter 833: The Most Critical Link on the Clue Chain
Qin Jian frowned, his body shifting backward slightly, putting distance so that Cheng Yu couldn’t lean against his chest. He then said, "Ms. Cheng, should I take you to the infirmary?"
"No! No need! Let’s go home. This is a sequelae of the bullet entering the brain, incurable unless the bullet is removed," Cheng Yu said with her eyes closed and a bitter tone, "Actually, I could have completely avoided being hurt. I heard that the company commander I had been searching for got injured by a bomb at the enemy’s position. In my haste, I stood up and ran to where he was injured, and that’s how I got hit by two bullets."
"You were too reckless! You violated a taboo on the battlefield. Not only did you not save your comrade, but you also put yourself at risk. This is no one’s fault but your own." Qin Jian finished speaking and told Cheng Yu, "Let me help you sit by the roadside for a while! I’ll go find a car to take you back."
"No need! I’ll take her!" An Hao, braving the scorching sun, walked over. She hadn’t heard the conversation between the two but had been watching Cheng Yu’s behavior from a distance.
She saw Cheng Yu faint, saw the deliberate distance Qin Jian maintained between them.
"How did you get here?" Qin Jian turned his head to look at An Hao.
"I was planning to wander around town, but I didn’t expect you guys hadn’t even made it out yet. You’re slower than someone who left after you," An Hao said with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.
Qin Jian nodded, "You keep her company for a bit. I’ll go find a car. You take Ms. Cheng back and then come back by car!"
