Chapter 1519: Chapter 1538: This is an Order
Chen Jing’s body shivered, and she regretted her impulsiveness just now. She wasn’t the only doctor here, yet they picked her—obviously out of fear that if they couldn’t save their own person, she would end up ruined along with them. In this godforsaken place, a doctor’s na was worth even less than an ancient imperial physician’s!
If they wanted you ruined, you’d truly be ruined. There wasn’t a hint of intimidation in their threats.
That was the literal aning of their words.
“Hurry up! Stop dawdling and staring!” Lu Jin urged impatiently.
Chen Jing took a deep breath, summoned all her courage, and strode confidently through the main door. No matter what, she was a doctor and couldn’t just stand by watching soone who needed life-saving help while shrinking back out of fear for her own safety. Otherwise, how would she be any different from Ding Jiaqi, who she’d just criticized?
The door to the dical room was closed from the inside. Lu Jin cautiously approached Huo Beijiang, gathering his nerve as he said, “Boss, do you think… do you think Sis-in-law has really co to Kannaya?” If she had, then they were utterly screwed!
And the things he’d brushed off as hallucinations earlier—could they have been real too?
Lu Jin was so frightened by this thought that he shivered despite the oppressive heat of the desert. It couldn’t be real. It absolutely couldn’t be real. The re idea that Sis-in-law had been locked up in the prisoner camp just now, while so many pairs of his own eyes failed to notice it, made him entertain thoughts of atoning with his life.
Lu Jin cautiously glanced at his boss and realized his boss’s eyes were bloodshot.
“Boss?” Oh no, could his boss have lost his mind from rage?
Huo Beijiang pressed his lips together, struggling to maintain his composure with every ounce of self-control, preventing himself from doing anything rash. Just ten minutes ago, Lu Jin and Lin Yizhong had led their n to move the civilians out of the prisoner camp, and amidst the blood-soaked chaos, they’d discovered Gongxi Yunqi lying on the ground, his life or death uncertain.
Lin Yizhong didn’t know Gongxi Yunqi, but Lu Jin knew him well! Wasn’t this the brat who always dreamt of stealing their boss’s girl?
He imdiately reported the discovery, and when Huo Beijiang heard the news, he felt as though his blood reversed its flow in a single heartbeat. The appearance of Gongxi Yunqi strongly indicated that Nan Fei had also co.
This brat who constantly sched to steal his girl—if he managed to travel from M country to Kannaya, it must have been because he was chasing after Nan Fei.
Huo Beijiang issued orders to save Gongxi Yunqi no matter the cost while frantically having everyone thoroughly search all survivors. When he personally verified the identities of every surviving civilian, his heart sank completely.
No sign of her among the living… Then what about the dead?
A terrifying suspicion swept over him like a plague, carrying a devastating force. Huo Beijiang had never felt this close to collapse before. Not when facing death for the first ti. Not when captured and tortured by the enemy. Not even when losing his closest comrades in battle.
And now, he finally tasted despair and breakdown.
After stumbling his way through a ticulous inspection of every corpse sent out, he finally exhaled in relief.
She wasn’t there!
Thank goodness she wasn’t there. Not being there was the best news of all.
If Nan Fei wasn’t among them, it ant she had managed to escape. As long as she had escaped, nothing else mattered—not even daring to hope for more.
As long as Nan Fei was alive, that was better than anything else.
“Boss?”
Lu Jin’s voice calling out again finally pulled Huo Beijiang out of his thoughts.
“Where is Lin Yizhong now?” Huo Beijiang’s voice was dry as he said, “Tell him not to overlook a single clue. Nan Fei cannot have gotten far, and I want her brought back. This is an order!”
