Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 249: Chapter 246: To Survive Is Enough

The towel that had been wrapped around his lean and sturdy waist had not budged until the very end.

Yet at this moment, what was different were the marks that covered his back and shoulders.

One after another.

Even on the top of his shoulder, there was a bite mark with a distinct outline.

It was clearly inflicted with a great deal of force.

The situation could only be described as having been quite intense.

However.

There’s a saying, “Forces always act in pairs.”

Who suffered more simply depended on different points of impact.

His back was already in such a condition, and she would have been…

…

Good news came from the hospital: Zha Xi and the other injured members of the team had been rescued and stabilized, especially Zha Xi, who had been saved just in time.

As soon as Zha Xi awoke, he told everyone something.

Instead of asking for anyone else upon regaining consciousness, his first words were–“Sister-in-law.”

Ga Zhuo and the others were stunned.

But then, Zha Xi recounted everything that had happened to them in detail.

If it hadn’t been for Wen Xian arriving in time with her car and striking that person, he truly would have lost his life; if she hadn’t had a car to rush him to the hospital, he would be dead now.

Lu Xiao arrived at the hospital.

He fell into a profound silence upon hearing all this.

But when he finally went to see Zha Xi, in addition to telling him to rest well, he added, “It’s good that you survived.”

That’s right, to survive was good enough.

Zha Xi was only in his twenties, his life was just beginning, in the prime of his youth.

After learning that Wen Xian had saved their brother in this battle, her fellow team members held an even deeper admiration and gratitude for her as their sister-in-law.

And now,

In the hospital room of the two teammates,

“Captain, where’s sister-in-law? Let’s have a good celebration once Zha Xi and Zhuo Ma are discharged! Having survived a great disaster, we’re sure to have good fortune!” Sang Nian said with a happy expression, his face radiating the joy of having escaped from calamity.

At these words, the team members all agreed enthusiastically.

Unexpectedly,

When Sang Nian looked toward their leader, he noticed that he pursed his lips and remained silent, his whole person suddenly enveloped in an indescribable aura.

Everyone felt that something was subtly off.

Ga Zhuo, on the other hand, kept giving Sang Nian meaningful looks.

Sang Nian: “…”

What exactly is going on…

However, he soon heard their captain’s low voice, “We’ll celebrate on our own. She’s busy filming; let’s not disturb her.”

Upon hearing this, Sang Nian, seemingly unaware of the underlying issue, chuckled twice, “It’s okay, we can wait until Sister Xian is free to–”

Before he could finish, he was suddenly interrupted.

“What’s the rush? We’ll talk about it later. Right now, the most important thing is for Zha Xi and Zhuo Ma to recover well!” Ga Zhuo said, and promptly went over to wrap an arm around Sang Nian’s neck, steering him away from asking any questions he shouldn’t.

Ga Zhuo thought that, especially after such an incident,

Nobody could truly understand Lu Xiao’s feelings.

When he heeded the notification and hastily came to the hospital, he saw Miss Wen in the hallway.

She was a bit disheveled, with bloodstains on her clothes.

When he looked at her, she simply smiled faintly at him.

But then she lowered her head and continued to clench her hands without saying more.

In that instant, as Ga Zhuo glanced again at Captain Lu, whose brow was slightly furrowed, he understood everything.

It really was terribly bad.
