Chapter 249: Chapter 248: Missed (1 more)
Jin Yu had been unconscious for three days due to his injury.
By the time he woke up, there were only two days left until the day he had promised to return and register the marriage with Xu Niannian.
This injury had alarmed the senior leadership, and with a high-ranking leader watching over him, Jin Yu couldn’t leave.
The leader stayed for three days, which was already past the day he had promised to Xu Niannian.
As soon as the leader left, Jin Yu, despite the pain of his injuries, was anxious and in a rush to return, only to be forcibly restrained by Ye Shaoting.
He pressed a hand on Jin Yu’s shoulder, "Jin Yu, have you lost your mind? Do you even realize how serious your injuries are? Still think you’re Iron Man? You haven’t recovered from the previous hidden ailment, and now you’re acting crazy again."
"Move aside," Jin Yu said icily.
Ye Shaoting, who had a good relationship with him and wasn’t afraid of him, especially since Jin Yu was like a paper tiger right now.
"What are you doing? Just rest and heal," Ye Shaoting said unceremoniously.
Pushed by him, Jin Yu pulled at his wound and deeply furrowed his brows, lying helplessly in the bed, "Fine, I won’t go. But can you help me tell Niannian that I’m tied up with important matters and I’ll go to her once it’s settled."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shaoting chuckled in surprise, realizing this was all for Xu Niannian.
He poked at the bandage wrapped around Jin Yu’s chest, "Didn’t you dislike her? Why do you care so much?"
Jin Yu couldn’t restrain himself from kicking him, "If I told you to go, just go. Why the hell are you talking so much?"
Ye Shaoting quickly dodged, "Alright, alright, I’ll go. But I’m really curious, why are you in such a hurry to go back? Did you make some kind of promise with your sister-in-law?"
At the mention of this, Jin Yu’s face darkened.
He had promised Xu Niannian and Yang Cuihua that no matter what, he would return in five days to get the marriage certificate with Xu Niannian.
Now, he had directly missed the deadline by one day.
But given the chance to do it all over again, he would still go after them.
If it weren’t for that damned rabbit, he wouldn’t have been exposed.
It’s true that man’s plans can’t compete with those made by fate.
Jin Yu was so infuriated he gritted his teeth.
"Will you die if you don’t spout nonsense?" Jin Yu picked up a cup from the cabinet, ready to throw it at Ye Shaoting, who quickly waved his hands, "Boss, cut it out, I’ll go right now."
He then took off like a shot.
After Ye Shaoting left, Jin Yu leaned against the wall, agitated.
He had broken his word.
He had broken his promise to Xu Niannian.
Would she think that he didn’t want to marry her and that was why he was making excuses?
Thinking of the solemn promise he made before leaving and her words, "I believe," Jin Yu became even more agitated.
While Jin Yu was agitated, Jin Ruiyang, who was also in the Nancheng Military District Compound at Jin Yu’s house, was almost driven crazy with irritation as well.
Not able to find his beauty, and now even Jin Yu was missing.
Just as he was about to go out, the phone in the living room rang, and Jin Ruiyang answered it.
The call was from Elder Master Jin, who began by asking, "Xiao Lan, I heard from the old comrades over there that Jin Yu is injured. Go check on him and see how serious it is."
The elder thought Wu Lan was at home.
At this news, Jin Ruiyang’s lazily laid-back demeanor instantly became serious.
"Grandpa, did you say Jin Yu is injured?"
When Elder Master Jin realized it was Jin Ruiyang’s voice, he asked, "Where’s your great-aunt?"
Jin Ruiyang replied, "I don’t know where she went. Grandpa, what happened to Jin Yu’s injury?"
The urgency was evident in his tone.
Elder Master Jin sighed on the other end, his voice tinged with the weight of age, "I only heard it from the old comrades over there. They wouldn’t tell me the details. Xiao Yang, since you’re in Nancheng, hurry and check on your brother."
"Okay, I got it."
Jin Ruiyang’s face was solemn. Hearing Jin Yu was injured, his mind immediately went to the criminal who had escaped from his clutches.
He guessed Jin Yu’s injury must be related to this matter, as Jin Yu was still on his rest period and the team wouldn’t have assigned him any missions.
After asking Elder Master Jin which hospital Jin Yu was in and learning he was in Nancheng’s largest city hospital, Jin Ruiyang immediately set out for the place.
With Elder Master Jin’s unclear explanation, Jin Ruiyang didn’t know how serious Jin Yu’s injuries were, and he couldn’t help but worry.
His expression was unusually stern and daunting, his gaze carrying an icy chill.
On the other side, it had already been six days since Jin Yu had left, and Yang Cuihua, who had yet to see Jin Yu’s figure, went from being suspicious to worried.
She couldn’t help but ask Xu Niannian, "Baby Nian, do you think something happened to Xiao Jin? Haven’t your eyelids been twitching a lot lately?"
Xu Niannian was also somewhat worried in her heart, but she tended to believe that Jin Yu was just held up by important matters.
To avoid worrying Yang Cuihua further, Xu Niannian comforted her, "Mom, don’t worry. Who knows, Jin Yu might arrive later."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of Xiaohei barking "ao ao ao" excitedly could be heard from the yard.
Xiaohei liked to bark "ao ao" at everyone, but apart from barking so affectionately at Jin Yu and Xu Zhiqiang, it would have a milky fierce bark towards everyone else.
Xu Niannian thought it was Jin Yu who had come back.
Excited, she ran out, followed by Yang Cuihua.
Just as she ran into the yard and saw the man dressed in a combat uniform, Xu Niannian’s voice lightened a few notes, "Jin Yu..."
"Jin Yu" turned around and called out, "Little sister-in-law, it’s me."
Ye Shaoting held Xiaohei dog with a rather serious expression.
Xu Niannian, upon seeing that it was Ye Shaoting and not Jin Yu, immediately harbored an ominous suspicion.
"Did something happen to Jin Yu?" she asked urgently, not realizing how desperate her tone was.
Ye Shaoting pursed his lips, "Jin Yu got injured. He didn’t want me to tell you. He only let me tell you he was tied up."
Ye Shaoting didn’t follow Jin Yu’s request to lie because he could tell that Jin Yu probably promised Xu Niannian something, hence the urgency to return.
Jin Yu didn’t want to tell Xu Niannian the truth, probably because he was afraid she would worry.
But Ye Shaoting wasn’t afraid, after all, he didn’t have any tenderness to spare.
Moreover, worrying was always better than a misunderstanding.
So that’s why he decisively betrayed Jin Yu and was quite proud, with no regrets whatsoever.
As soon as Xu Niannian heard that Jin Yu was injured, her body involuntarily swayed, her heart tightened, and she tried to keep calm, "How bad is the injury?"
Jin Yu could let Ye Shaoting deceive her saying he was busy, which meant he wasn’t in a life-threatening situation, at least.
Xu Niannian’s mind relaxed slightly.
However, the next second, Ye Shaoting said, "It’s serious. He was shot in the back, the bullet passed close to his heart, and he was unconscious for three days before waking up."
Gunshot wounds. Xu Niannian, who had never been exposed to such things in either of her two lifetimes, felt her heart wrench painfully.
As for Yang Cuihua, she had almost cried on Xu Niannian’s behalf, fearful that seeing Jin Yu seriously injured would lead her to worry that she’d have to mourn as a widow for the rest of her life, not daring to wail out loud in the hospital.
"Where is he?" Xu Niannian asked directly.
Ye Shaoting said, "I’ll take you to him."
"Okay," Xu Niannian agreed without a moment’s hesitation.
Yang Cuihua wanted to follow, but Xu Niannian, worried that she would see Jin Yu’s serious injuries and fear for a widow’s future, didn’t let her come.
Yang Cuihua could definitely do such a thing.
"Mom, go to the shop and keep an eye on it. I’ll go take a look and come back," Xu Niannian said.
Yang Cuihua was worried and feared that Xu Niannian, going alone and seeing Jin Yu injured, wouldn’t take it well. Concerned that she wouldn’t have anyone to comfort her, she hurriedly said, "Go to the shop and pick up Sisi to keep you company."
This time, Xu Niannian didn’t refuse; taking Xu Sisi would, at the very least, put Yang Cuihua’s mind at ease.
Although it wasn’t the weekend, because it was a holiday today, Xu Sisi had also run to the shop to help.
Ye Shaoting drove straight to the shop to pick up Xu Sisi. Knowing Jin Yu wasn’t in danger, Xu Niannian let Sisi bring a thermos of secret broth with her.
Xu Sisi, aware that Xu Niannian’s fiancé, Jin Yu, was injured, didn’t dare to be as chatty as usual, and quietly stayed by Xu Niannian’s side.
Arriving at the hospital, Ye Shaoting led the two straight to the ward where Jin Yu was.
The special care ward on the top floor of the hospital.
Xu Niannian pushed open the door and went in directly, Xu Sisi wanted to follow, but was held back by Ye Shaoting, who then closed the door.
Xu Sisi puzzled, "What are you doing?"
"Shh," Ye Shaoting gestured for her to be quiet, "Let them be alone for a while. freewёbnoνel-com
Xu Sisi immediately understood, "Oh, got it."
In the ward, Jin Yu lay quietly, with an IV tube attached to his arm.
Perhaps because the pain was too much, even in sleep, Jin Yu’s brows were furrowed, his face deathly pale, his lips white as well.
Highly vigilant, Jin Yu could hear the faint footsteps and snapped his eyes open.
His gaze, sharp, cold, and full of killing intent, shot straight at Xu Niannian, extremely dangerous, freezing her in her tracks.
Seeing that the visitor was Xu Niannian, Jin Yu’s sharp gaze instantly became one of astonishment, "Niannian..."
Xu Niannian, who had just been startled by his penetrating gaze, came back to her senses upon hearing his weak voice.
She rushed to his bedside, noticing the bandages wrapped around his chest, and asked softly, "How are you feeling?"
Jin Yu struggled to sit up, still somewhat confused about Xu Niannian’s sudden arrival.
"Niannian... Why are you here?" His voice was hoarse and low, even carrying a hint of powerlessness, as if it took all his strength just to speak.
"You promised me you’d be back in five days to register our marriage; it’s the sixth day, and since you didn’t come for me, I had no choice but to come for you," she said.
Seeing how weak he was, Xu Niannian couldn’t bear it, her voice unconsciously tender and gentle.
