Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Special Protection Chapter 223: Chapter 223 Special Protection Gu Wei simply said, “Seeing as how shallow your relationship with your parents is, I always suspect they might not be your biological parents.”
Su ixi just laughed, “I suspected that when I was a kid too, but later I resigned myself to fate. If they didn’t give birth to , then who did? It couldn’t possibly be like the novels, where there’s so mix-up or soone deliberately switched babies, right?”
Gu Wei smiled and said nothing more.
Nor did Su ixi give it much more thought.
She didn’t expect any parental love now, just to lead her own life well.
…
Feng City.
Zhou Yuan was still staying at her parents’ house.
Gu Cheng had returned to work at the company during the day, but he would co back after work.
During the day, she was pampered by her mother, and at night, both her husband and father were ho, showering her with care and warmth. Her mother-in-law would occasionally send over so top-quality bird’s nest and tonics. At ho, there was no worry about food or drink. Compared to Su ixi, she was living in heaven.
Every ti she thought of Su ixi, she sighed.
Recalling that she hadn’t called Su ixi for several days, that day she decided to make a video call to her.
The call was cut and switched to voice reception.
She must be unable to video chat.
“Sister Su, how have you been these days?” Zhou Yuan asked excitedly.
Su ixi was still staying in the hospital, she laughed and said, “Good.”
“Your voice sounds weak, what’s going on? Are you sick?”
“No, Gu Wei is right next to ,” Su ixi said.
Zhou Yuan instantly adopted a knowing tone, “Oh, you and Gu Wei are in bed together, aren’t you? No wonder your voice is so soft and feeble. I won’t disturb you two, carry on, carry on.”
The call ended, and Su ixi smiled helplessly.
Indeed, such an innocent and happy young girl.
…
The nurse who had been held hostage ca to check on Su ixi every day.
This nurse, nad Xiao Fen, looked to be about 20 years old and seed timid whenever she saw people, especially when Gu Wei was also there.
With each visit, she brought Su ixi a small bouquet of flowers, and upon noticing there were no vases in the sickroom, she even bought one the next day.
Seeing Xiao Fen’s guilty look with each visit, Su ixi couldn’t help but remind her, “Xiao Fen, you really don’t have to co to see every day. In that situation, I would have saved anyone.”
Xiao Fen didn’t listen and ca again the next day. Su ixi let her be and took it as having gained another younger sister.
One day, another nurse ca to bring Su ixi patient’s clothes and change the bed sheets; she encountered Xiao Fen who was about to leave.
After Xiao Fen had gone, as the nurse changed the bed sheets, she said, “Dr. Su, I heard that the Xiao Fen you saved has so serious connections.”
“Oh? What kind of connections?” Su ixi asked, sitting nearby.
“I’m not sure exactly what, but I’ve heard that she’s very powerful, and her family holds high office.”
Su ixi laughed.
Xiao Fen’s family holding high office had what to do with Su ixi?
Besides, during her long hospital stay, it had only been Xiao Fen who visited her; Xiao Fen’s family hadn’t co even once.
Su ixi’s injuries healed quickly, and by the tenth day, she was able to be discharged.
On the day of discharge, Xiao Ding suddenly called Gu Wei, “Boss, we’ve gotten so leads from those people who lent high-interest loans to Chen Shicheng.”
“What kind of leads?” Gu Wei glanced at Su ixi.
“Those guys are crafty. On the surface, they lend high-interest loans, but in reality, they have ties with criminals at the border. Chen Zhengcheng seed unrelated, but it was they who directed him to co here for Sister Su’s treatnt and pressured him during his hospital stay, driving him to desperation.”
Xiao Ding concluded, “So, we suspect there are still Kun Bu’s people in Yun City. Boss, you and Sister Su need to be careful.”
“I understand!” Gu Wei said.
“What’s wrong?” Su ixi had also sensed the unusual tone in Gu Wei’s voice. For a split second, his eyes had a fierce look.
Gu Wei said gravely, “Military intelligence has discovered that people from Kun Bu might still be in Yun City. This ti, we must take the initiative to strike!”
Su ixi’s heart tightened, “What do you plan to do?”
“Find the location of Kun Bu and annihilate them all at once!”
In that mont, Su ixi saw his determination.
…
After being discharged, Gu Wei had arranged for special protection for Su ixi; she was allowed to stay in the military’s family quarters, which were located in the mountains, right next to the training field, separated only by a wall. One could even hear the sounds of training from inside the house.
There were very few military dependents here; it was just as solemn and imposing as it had been on the border. It seed almost indecorous to call out “husband” here; one had to call by na.
Su ixi felt stuffy in this place, but Gu Wei said it was the safest place, where no one would dare co without risking their life.
She had also taken leave from the hospital; she had just been discharged and could barely manage her daily needs. It was impossible for her to work, and she would need at least a month of rest before returning.
By now, she held a kind of unease about the hospital. It didn’t matter if she didn’t go back to that job.
In recent days, Gu Wei seed very busy; it was Xiao Ding who brought her als.
The army’s food was good, with both at and vegetables, and even soup—no fear of going hungry.
“Xiao Ding, where is Gu Wei?” Su ixi asked.
Xiao Ding glanced at Su ixi, then said, “The boss… he’s gone on a mission.”
“Is there news from the Kun Bu side?”
“Sister-in-law, you already know; why ask ?” said Xiao Ding, scratching his head.
“Where is Kun Bu?” Su ixi asked again.
Xiao Ding couldn’t help but smile, “Sister-in-law, you know I’m a duty soldier. Many missions involve secrets that I’m not privy to.”
Su ixi didn’t press further.
Back when she was in Feng City, she often heard about Gu Wei going on missions; maybe because they were far away and she hadn’t experienced the kidnapping in the UK, she just assud he was on business trips.
But now, knowing that he was involved in such dangerous work, she couldn’t help feeling anxious.
She used to think the country was very safe and peaceful. It was only now that she realized those peaceful days existed because brave people were protecting them.
“Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t stay cooped up here all the ti. The boss instructed that if you want to go out for a walk, that’s fine too. Walking more is beneficial for your recovery.”
“Alright,” Su ixi said.
She was a doctor and knew her condition.
When the afternoon sun was intense, she would go downstairs for a walk.
…
“Oh, Sister Su, so you were here!”
One day, as Su ixi was taking a walk outside the family quarters, she ran into Bao Min again.
Bao Min was carrying a food box, registering at the guard post.
Bao Min gave Su ixi an up-and-down look, and seeing her alone, couldn’t help asking, “You don’t live inside, do you?”
“Yes, what about it?” Su ixi asked.
“Nothing,” Bao Min said, with envy clear in her eyes.
She was there to deliver dicinal soup to Commander Bao and could only register outside the guard post, unable to go in, but Su ixi could live inside.
Bao Min walked up to Su ixi, putting on a concerned facade, “How’s your injury?”
“Much better,” Su ixi said.
“That’s good.” Bao Min pointed ahead, “The sun’s nice up front, how about I join you and we sit there for a bit?”
“No need, I ca out for a walk, not to sit around,” Su ixi declined, not wanting to sit with her.
Bao Min’s eyes rolled slyly, “Then I’ll accompany you on your walk. We used to be neighbors after all, friends, right?”
Su ixi felt that Bao Min had an ulterior motive.
