55: Chapter 55 Exercise Ends_1 55: Chapter 55 Exercise Ends_1 “We have done everything we could, but the patient lost too much blood.
Moreover, the bullet didn’t directly hit the patient’s heart but was too close to the heart, so the resuscitation was unsuccessful,” said Doctor Li, who then walked away.
In this hospital, where births and deaths occur daily, Military Doctor Li was not moved by another loss of life.
However, Situ Haotian felt a chill in his heart, knowing that if it weren’t for so inexplicable power that stopped and redirected the bullet, he would have been the one lying there.
After Military Doctor Li announced the unsuccessful resuscitation, the officer leading the exercise and his entourage left.
This military exercise had beco a major incident, and he had matters to attend to afterward.
Still, he was secretly relieved that it was an ordinary soldier who had died; had it been soone of higher rank, the situation would have been more problematic.
Seeing Situ Haotian lost in thought, Situ Haoran walked over and clapped him on the shoulder, “What’s got you so disoriented?”
“Brother, that bullet was actually aid at ,” Situ Haotian revealed, causing Situ Haoran to jump up, his expression turning tense.
“What?”
“Really, brother, the bullet was headed for , but it stopped half a ter away from .
Then it suddenly changed direction and shot towards Xiao Qinfeng,” Situ Haotian shared the detail he had withheld from the officer.
Hearing this, Situ Haoran also experienced a mont of dread.
“It seems they can’t wait any longer.
They’ve already made their move,” he said, pausing.
“You make a call to our ho first; I reckon dad and Uncle Loo are worried about us.
Once we’ve dealt with this situation, we should head back and discuss it thoroughly with them,” Situ Haoran said, his eyes filled with determination.
“Okay.
I’ll call right now.” As he spoke, Situ Haotian picked up the phone and dialed ho.
When Old Master Situ and the others gathered around, they were startled by Situ Xin’s pale complexion, but they all breathed a sigh of relief when her color soon returned to normal.
Not wanting to leave Situ Xin sitting alone on the carpet, they decided to join her on the sofa, cradling her in their arms.
With Situ Xin’s presence, the atmosphere was no longer as deathly still.
Knowing that the danger surrounding her father and uncle had passed, the weight in her heart was lifted, and her smile returned, which, in turn, eased the tension for Old Master Situ and the others.
When the phone rang with a “dingling, dingling,” everyone paused before answering it, exchanging glances until Old Master Loo lifted the handset following a nod from Old Master Situ.
As Old Master Loo took the call, Situ Xin could feel her grandfather’s hands trembling as he held her, his heart beating fast.
The tension only broke when Old Master Loo hung up with a smile, saying, “It was Haotian.
He said the military exercise has concluded.
There was a bit of an incident, so the final results haven’t been announced yet.
They will co ho after the results are out.”
At this point, Old Master Situ felt that the outco of the military exercise didn’t matter as much anymore; the safety of the two of them was all that was important.
Although an accident had occurred in Situ Haoran’s team, it was due to a fault at the headquarters, and, given the circumstances, they were still deed the winners of the military exercise.
Knowing this, Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian didn’t show much joy.
The team mbers misconstrued their lack of excitent, attributing it to the sacrifice of Xiao Qinfeng, and privately they praised the Situ brothers for their sense of loyalty, feeling it was an honor to serve with them.
As the results of the military exercise were announced, Xiao Qinfeng was posthumously honored as a martyr, and with that, the incident was closed.
When Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian returned ho, they didn’t rush to discuss matters with Old Master Situ but instead competed to embrace and pepper Situ Xin with kisses, to her discomfort.
Under normal circumstances, she would have protested, but this ti, feeling as though she had regained sothing precious, the soreness from their affectionate pinches only made her happy.
“What are you all doing, tornting my precious granddaughter like this?
Look, you’ve made Baby’s little face all red,” complained Old Master Situ as he took Situ Xin from them, his heart aching at the sight of her reddened cheeks, which made his gaze towards the Situ brothers turn sour.
“What seems to be the problem here?” Old Master Loo walked in to find the three generations facing off.
“Uncle Loo.
(Dad),” Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian greeted Old Master Loo.
“Hmph, it’s just these two lads here who made Baby’s face turn beet red the mont they returned,” Old Master Situ couldn’t help but complain to Old Master Loo.
Situ Xin, watching the old and adult family mbers bicker like children, found it amusing.
“Grandpa,” Situ Xin called out, imdiately distracting Old Master Loo from their trivial matters.
He reached out and snatched Situ Xin from Old Master Situ’s arms.
“Situ, let’s go upstairs to the study; I think the brothers have sothing to tell us,” Old Master Loo said while holding Situ Xin.
The unexpected event during the military exercise had been classified by the higher-ups as confidential on the sa day.
Although Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo had already retired, they still had influence in central politics and had learned of the incident the day after the exercise, albeit not in full detail.
Old Master Situ understood the implication of Old Master Loo’s words and nodded, “Yes, let’s head to the study.” After saying that, he led the way upstairs, followed by Old Master Loo carrying Situ Xin, with Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran trailing obediently behind.
They had returned this ti specifically to discuss the incident with the two elders.
Once settled in the study, Old Master Situ initiated the conversation: “You two, tell us in detail what happened during the military exercise.”
Situ Haoran gestured for Situ Haotian to speak.
Situ Xin, equally curious, fixed her gaze on her attacked father.
She knew sothing had happened during the military exercise because she had sensed Situ Haotian’s peril, but she had no knowledge of the specifics.
