Chapter 176 Don't shout nonsense, we haven't gotten our marriage certificate yet!
Meng Taining was pale and weak in the knees. Lu Yuan comforted him for a few moments, then had Wei Hanpeng escort him out. He also told the police officers about the situation.
"Oh, and Xiao Xixi too, we must find her as soon as possible!"
Wei Hanpeng nodded: "Don't worry, I'll help urge them."
After the two left, only Lu Yuan and Lu Yifeng remained in the ward.
Qiao Manman handed two of the lunchboxes to Lu Yifeng: "Comrade Lu should be able to feed himself, right?"
"Ah, yes!" Lu Yifeng struggled to sit up, but as soon as he moved his thigh down, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.
"Hey, stop moving, let me feed you!"
After relieving himself, Miao Shoujun wiped his hands, took the lunchbox, and fed Lu Yifeng with a spoon.
Lu Yifeng opened his mouth wide, taking a mouthful of congee and a bite of vegetables: "Mmm, delicious. Little Qiao's cooking is really good. Old Lu, you're so lucky!"
Lu Yuan glanced at Qiao Manman cautiously, afraid that she would get angry.
To everyone's surprise, Qiao Manman didn't mention his injury at all. Instead, she sat upright in a chair next to the hospital bed and fed him.
She remained silent, her movements gentle and careful, yet a chill ran through Lu Yuan's heart.
"Honey, I... I lost my mind and did it instinctively. I'm so sorry!"
Qiao Manman scooped up a spoonful of porridge and stuffed it into his mouth: "Don't call me that, we haven't registered our marriage yet!"
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat: "Wife, you promised me you'd come to my door to propose marriage, you can't go back on your word."
"Although you are lucky to have survived, I am afraid that something like this will happen again."
Qiao Manman put down her bowl, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "Lu Yuan, I don't want to be a widow."
I know you're a soldier, unafraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, but I'll worry and be afraid. I don't want to stay here guarding the memorial tablet to remember the deceased.
Qiao Manman closed her eyes, thinking that she had to make the consequences sound serious.
Otherwise, if Lu Yuan, relying on the peace charm, were to be fearless and something unexpected happened, she would be heartbroken.
Lu Yuan reached out and grasped Qiao Manman's fingers: "Wife, I'm sorry. In the future, when I go on missions, I will make sure my own safety is the priority."
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and picked up the lunchbox to feed him. From an angle where no one could see, she sprinkled some powder from the Rejuvenation Pill into it.
After drinking it, Lu Yuan felt that his back was not burning as much.
After he had almost finished eating, Qiao Manman opened the thermos, and an enticing aroma wafted out, causing the three of them to swallow hard.
Qiao Manman ladled out a small bowl of chicken soup, leaving the rest for Lu Yifeng and Miao Shoujun.
"Honey, after we get married, I'll cook."
Lu Yuan was afraid that Qiao Manman would hold a grudge, so he flattered her as much as possible: "I'll cook the food and wash the dishes. You can go to work if you want, or stay home and enjoy yourself if you don't want to."
"Hey Lao Lu, how come I never noticed you were such a sycophant before? Good heavens, is this really the same stern-faced devil from the team?"
Lu Yuan was furious: "Shut up!"
He turned and pleaded sweetly, "Wife, please!"
Qiao Manman's arms broke out in goosebumps: "Then you better remember this, if you can't do it, we're getting a divorce."
"I'll never leave you! I'll make sure you're comfortable and that you'll never want to leave me!"
Miao Shoujun and Lu Yifeng couldn't help but burst into laughter, while Qiao Manman's ears turned bright red: "Lu Yuan, you've only been injured, why are you talking so much?"
Besides, watch out or I'll sew your mouth shut!
Lu Yuan felt embarrassed and shut up to drink the chicken soup.
After finishing the drink, he felt a bit bloated and, blushing, asked Miao Shoujun to help him to the toilet.
When they returned, Lu Yifeng wanted to go again. Miao Shoujun used all his strength to help him to the toilet door and then took off his pants.
Qiao Manman took the opportunity to discuss with Lu Yuan: "I'm going out for some fresh air!"
Lu Yuan wanted to stop her, but he saw Qiao Manman using her slender white fingers to fiddle with the red string on his wrist.
"Why is it still here?"
"I got you a new one! Tell me, one isn't enough, you need two? Where in this world are there so many good things?"
Not wanting to burden him, she stopped talking and said, "Alright, I'm going out now. Take care of yourself."
Lu Yuan nodded, thinking to himself that he had completely become a kept man.
I feel a little disappointed. It's embarrassing that a grown man like me has to rely on my wife for care!
However, this safety rope really works. I wonder where my wife got it from, and what price she paid for it.
He should cherish it.
Qiao Manman left the hospital, hid in the shadows, took off her wool coat, and put on a gray cotton-padded jacket.
He painted his face yellow, put on a gray hat, and strolled around the vicinity of the police station with his hands in his pockets.
The system amplified the surrounding sounds, allowing them to hear the police officers discussing the case, and they discovered that someone had indeed escaped.
"Such a huge shockwave, yet Tomoya Sata managed to escape. If word gets out, how will our Public Security Bureau maintain its reputation?"
"Now is not the time to talk about these things. The explosives are so powerful, and Tomoya Sada is already injured, so he definitely can't have gone far."
"We'll search the entire city; we're sure we can bring them to justice!"
Qiao Manman frowned as she arrived at the explosion site that Sun Hanpeng had mentioned.
Examine the footprints on the ground, select a direction with the help of the system, and listen to the surrounding sounds as you walk.
In order to find the escaped Tomoya Sada as soon as possible, he even used a lucky charm on himself.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, a muffled groan was heard.
Qiao Manman followed the sound and saw a man taking care of Sada Tomoya, whose legs had been blown off, in a dilapidated house.
"Sata-kun, don't be afraid, Xu Niang has already gone to the countryside to fetch a doctor!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much. Miss Keiko said the mission was easy, how come..."
"Sata-kun, don't think about it anymore. The most important thing now is to save your life. Once we find Miss Keiko, we'll have her avenge you."
"Miss Keiko always maintains a one-way communication system; we can only wait for her to send messages. Now that the mission has failed, I'm afraid..."
Qiao Manman used a sleeping talisman to knock everyone in the room unconscious. She then reported the area to the police station that there were spies, and the officers immediately dispatched officers.
They happened to run into the barefoot doctor who was returning, and took them all back to the police station. Qiao Manman watched everything from the shadows and then returned to the hospital.
Seeing that she was unharmed, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.
Qiao Manman checked his forehead from time to time, and he didn't develop a fever after a whole night.
Lu Yifeng, on the other hand, felt dizzy and disoriented. Qiao Manman didn't go to find a nurse; instead, she gave him a fever reducer, and his temperature quickly went down.
After daybreak, both of them felt better.
When the nurse made her rounds and changed the dressing, she praised, "No wonder soldiers are so physically fit; the wound has already shown significant improvement in just one night."
With careful care, as long as there's no inflammation, I'll be discharged soon.
Qiao Manman thanked the other party and, while Lu Yifeng was in the restroom, told Lu Yuan about what happened last night.
"I was thinking that since you've injured your back and it's inconvenient for you to move around, I'll report you to the police station. Hmm, I hope that won't affect your chances of getting credit?"
Lu Yuan raised his hand and flicked her nose: "Whether you've done anything meritorious or not, it's good that you're alive. Or do you think my position is too low?"
Qiao Manman rolled her eyes at him: "What are you thinking? I was just worried that you wouldn't handle it well and would get punished. It's also my fault for not discussing it with you beforehand."
