The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 54 - Military Exercise_1

Back home, Situ Xin, who had been closely monitoring Situ Haotian’s situation, suddenly had a bad premonition and felt a heavy sensation in her chest, as if Situ Haotian was in danger.

She couldn’t help calling out, “Daddy.”

The Situ house was quiet.

The sudden shout from Situ Xin gave Old Master Situ and the others a huge start, and they all stood up and ran over to her, “Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Daddy.” Situ Xin knew her intuition was sharp, and with the tracking talisman, she knew that Situ Haotian must have encountered some danger.

“Baby wants Daddy.” She thought that although Situ Haoran had protective talismans prepared by her that were offensive in nature, and not just one, she was still worried and wanted Old Master Situ and the others to send help.

When the bullet was just half a meter away from Situ Haotian, Xiao Qinfeng was happily thinking about his bright future, when suddenly a faint light emitted from Situ Haotian’s body, and the bullet, as if encountering a strong resistance, couldn’t move forward.

This layer of resistance also instantly changed the direction of the bullet, causing it to no longer shoot towards Wang Hao’s direction, but instead to the right.

Everyone present, including Situ Haotian and Xiao Qinfeng, was stunned by this phenomenon.

They didn’t understand what had happened until the bullet was right in front of Xiao Qinfeng, and by the time he regained his senses and wanted to dodge, it was too late.

The bullet had already penetrated his body.

When everyone saw Xiao Qinfeng fall, they exclaimed in shock when they realized the bullet was real, not a dummy bullet from their guns.

Everyone hurriedly ran over to support Xiao Qinfeng.

Situ Haotian promptly phoned the command center to report the incident and asked them to send a doctor immediately.

When the bullet deviated from its original trajectory, the heavy feeling in Situ Xin’s chest disappeared, along with her bad premonition.

This allowed Situ Xin to breathe a sigh of relief.

She swallowed down the words that had come to the tip of her tongue, knowing the alarm for this military exercise had been lifted.

Indeed, the hidden sniper, having fired the shot, had already evacuated.

He had thought it was a sure thing but had not expected it to deviate at the last moment.

The army’s response was fast, and it wasn’t long before Situ Haoran and the military doctor both arrived.

The military doctor, who had originally thought it was a superficial wound, was surprised to find upon examination that it was actually a gunshot wound.

When they saw that the patient had been shot, everyone’s hearts tightened.

They then began to wonder how a real bullet had appeared during a military exercise that used dummy rounds.

After Situ Haoran arrived, the first thing he did was rush to Situ Haotian’s side and asked with concern, “How is it?” Others didn’t know what Situ Haoran was asking about, but Situ Haotian knew his big brother was inquiring about his status.

“I’m fine.” Situ Haotian gave Situ Haoran a reassuring look that said, ‘Don’t worry, we can talk about the other matters later.’

Then the two of them walked over to Xiao Qinfeng’s side and asked the military doctor, “Dr.

Li, how is the situation?”

“We need to remove the bullet as quickly as possible, but it’s too close to the heart, and the surgery is very risky; I’m afraid the patient could die on the operating table,” Dr.

Li said with a furrowed brow, not mentioning that, given the patient’s condition, he probably wouldn’t even make it to the operating table to have the bullet removed.

Without further words, Dr.

Li directed the medical staff to carry Xiao Qinfeng away on a stretcher.

Meanwhile, Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran followed closely.

Although they would be quite happy to see Xiao Qinfeng simply die, as his superiors, they had to go through the motions publicly, or else it would give rise to gossip, and it would also cool the hearts of their subordinates.

When Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran arrived at the hospital, the officer in charge of the military exercise and a group of subordinates were already there.

“Haoran, what happened, how could there be a shooting during a military exercise?” The officer was very anxious when he spoke.

He was aware that this military exercise was under his command, and it was supposed to be an opportunity for him to earn merits.

But if something went wrong, his position could be jeopardized.

“Reporting to the officer.

I wasn’t at the scene, so I’m not very clear on the details.

Situ Haotian, please explain the situation to the officer,” Situ Haoran said, maintaining his perpetual stoic expression, without looking at Situ Haoran, he simply instructed.

“Yes.

Reporting to the officer, the situation is like this…” Situ Haotian narrated the sequence of events, but he deliberately omitted the part about the bullet suddenly stopping and changing direction.

After hearing Situ Haotian’s account, the officer fell into deep thought.

He pondered over who could be responsible for this incident.

“Rest assured, I will thoroughly investigate this matter,” the officer finally broke the silence with these words after a long while.

But Situ Haoran and Situ Haotian were quite skeptical of the officer’s words.

They suspected that even if the officer intended to investigate, those involved wouldn’t give him the chance.

Just as they were about to respond to the officer’s statement, the doors to the hospital’s operating theater opened, and Military Doctor Li came out.

“Military Doctor Li, how is the situation?” Situ Haotian asked nervously, though he was not the least bit anxious on the inside.
