After Awakening, She Tore Apart Her Enemies and Joined the Army on an Island - Chapter 48

Old Master Mo Hengyu was dissatisfied with Nie Ronghua for being blind and biased, favoring Zhong Wanrou while wronging Mo Xiaoli, which led to a falling out with the Nie family.

Later, he was secretly framed by Zhong Wanrou, who had married into the Nie family, and was sent down to a labor farm, where he died miserably in less than a year.

How tragic!

Mo Hengyu didn’t understand the pity in Su Meng’s eyes and continued the conversation, “Young man, do you know my granddaughter? What’s your name?”

Su Meng replied respectfully, “This junior is Lin Xi.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt a familiar, sharp gaze and an overwhelmingly oppressive presence.

It must be Huo Zhenhua.

Sure enough, the next second, Wu Yanru’s delighted voice rang out.

“Regiment Commander Huo, you’re back?”

Su Meng stiffened, her conscience making her too guilty to turn around.

She had disguised herself to go out, afraid that Huo Zhenhua would recognize her.

She wanted to hide!

She wanted to run!

Just as she lifted her foot, Huo Zhenhua said, “That doctor, please come with me.”

Su Meng instinctively turned to look.

She was standing with the old gentleman and wasn’t sure whom Huo Zhenhua meant.

As expected, he was pointing at her.

“Me?”

She pointed at the tip of her nose, silently mouthing the word.

Inside, her inner self was cowering and rolling in panic, how could her luck be this bad?

If he recognized her, he would surely suspect her of having ulterior motives again.

He might even drag her in for interrogation, exposing her identity as “Lin Xi” and raising suspicions of her being an enemy spy. That would be a real mess.

She had just escaped the shadow of “capitalist tendencies” and didn’t want to be labeled an “enemy spy” next.

Ugh! Why was it so hard to quietly do something she enjoyed?

Then it occurred to her that even Old Master Mo Hengyu had mistaken her for a man, so perhaps Huo Zhenhua wouldn’t recognize her either.

Don’t panic! Don’t panic!

He definitely won’t recognize me.

Fine, I’ll go!

Huo Zhenhua was staring at her. After hearing her inner thoughts, a flicker of confusion and shock passed through his eyes. He glanced at her repeatedly, struggling to hold back his laughter.

Was she here to be funny?!

Knowing medicine wasn’t something shameful, why did she have to be so secretive and mysterious about it?

But if she wanted to keep it a secret… well, let her be!

With this little episode, Huo Zhenhua’s gloomy mood, caused by the injuries from the landslide, lightened a bit.

“Please! You’re the nurse, right? Follow me!”

As he turned, his finger gestured vaguely in Wu Yanru’s direction.

Wu Yanru was overjoyed, grinning so widely that twelve teeth were visible.

She shoved Su Meng aside and trotted after him, looking up to ask, “Regiment Commander Huo, where are we going?”

Su Meng also pricked up her ears, curious about where the trouble was this time and why there had been no broadcast announcement.

But the man, as usual, seemed to have selective hearing.

With his long legs, his advantage was immediately apparent.

In just a few steps, he had widened the distance between himself and Wu Yanru.

But how could Wu Yanru let go of such an opportunity to get close to him?

She clung to him persistently.

“Regiment Commander Huo, you’re so tall and walk so swiftly, no wonder you earned the title of King of Soldiers.”

“Regiment Commander Huo, slow down a bit. Let me tell you, my dad often talks about your heroic deeds at home. You’re amazing!”

“Hey! Why are you like this? Hmph!”

Su Meng followed behind them, carrying her small wooden case. Watching their interaction, she struggled to hold back her laughter, her cheeks aching from the effort.

Poor Wu Yanru, she had encountered an ice-cold man who wasn’t easy to handle!

“Comrade Wu, hurry up and chase him! Revolution requires dedication, and dedication drives the revolution!”

“The revolution is not yet complete, comrades must continue to strive!”

Hearing Su Meng’s rallying cry, the dispirited Wu Yanru perked up and chased after him again. “Thank you, Comrade Lin! I’ll go ahead first.”

Su Meng snapped her fingers, transforming into the ultimate motivator: “Keep up the momentum, and even the moon can be conquered…” Go for it!

“Is that so?”

Huo Zhenhua suddenly stopped, his heavy footsteps making the train car tremble.

Su Meng’s breath hitched, her smile freezing in place.

Caught off guard, she found herself locked in his dark gaze, her mind involuntarily spinning with the light in his eyes, her heart racing uncontrollably…

At that moment, her eyes were fixed solely on that stern-faced man, the world around her fading into a blank canvas.

A subconscious warning told her not to stare so boldly, but her gaze seemed to have a mind of its own, refusing to pull away, sticking to him like gum.

She could almost hear his thoughts, a frustrated sigh. This girl is so foolish, completely oblivious.

Was he annoyed with her?

Did he not want her interrupting him and Wu Yanru?

“Fool!”

The word he spat out jolted her back to reality.

“I…”

Flustered, she couldn’t find the right words, as nervous as a teenager caught in a secret romance by a strict parent.

Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, her head bowed, face tense, a mix of grievance and lingering embarrassment.

She truly felt guilty!

She shouldn’t have followed so closely, keeping her distance would have been better.

Huo Zhenhua stood sideways in the connecting area of the train car, his expressionless face fixed on her, a flicker of helplessness and irritation in his eyes, tinged with a hint of concern.

“Let’s go!”

Unable to bear seeing her so flustered, he turned and shot Wu Yanru a warning glance.

This time, his strides were longer and faster.

He moved with an imposing air.

Su Meng sighed quietly and slowed her pace.

Noticing the dim light in the car, she glanced out the window at the tunnel, her heart sinking slightly.

Had something happened at the other end of the tunnel?

As she turned back, Huo Zhenhua was nowhere in sight.

Instead, she caught the scent of blood and heard faint groans.

She hurried over and saw that the seats in the entire car had been laid flat, each occupied by injured and bleeding people.

A pang of sorrow struck Su Meng’s heart. Scanning the area, she headed toward the group with the most severe injuries.

At the far end of the car, several doctors and rescue workers were already busy.

Some crouched, others knelt, all silent, letting their sweat flow freely.

Su Meng opened her kit and immersed herself in her work.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.

Before she could look up, a familiar voice spoke. “Do you have any extra hemostatic agents?””

“Yes.” Su Meng pointed to her small wooden case. “Take what you need, but leave some for me.”

Her tone was so natural she didn’t even notice.

Huo Zhenhua’s lips curved into a slight smile, his gloomy mood suddenly lifting.

She probably didn’t hate or resent him that much.

But hearing her encourage someone to chase after him had inexplicably irritated him, making him restless and wanting to vent.

Yet he could say nothing, do nothing.

Frustrated and stifled!

He had almost forgotten their intimate encounter, but after Commander Tang’s casual mention, the memory haunted him day and night like a nightmare.

It was all Commander Tang’s fault for meddling and unsettling his heart.

Huo Zhenhua took a bottle of hemostatic agent, his eyes fixed on her profile. “I’ve taken one bottle.”

Su Meng didn’t even lift her head, her hands continuing their work as she softly uttered an “Mm.”

She didn’t even notice when he had left.

The small wooden box was mostly filled with hemostatic and bruise medicines.

This was all thanks to the miraculous space.

The medicinal herbs in the space were thriving, she harvested batch after batch and, in her spare time between studying and training, made numerous pills and powders.

She also cleaned the confiscated cotton cloth and prepared many rolls of gauze for future use.

But today’s demand was particularly high. After treating several injured individuals, the gauze in her box had run out.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn’t just produce gauze out of thin air.

“Comrade, could you help get some gauze? I’ve used up all of mine,” Su Meng called out to the train attendant nearby for assistance.
