2197: Let Him Die

Let Him Die

"You're awake?" Jiang Yao could not help but ask first. There was a hint of joy in her voice. "I didn't give you too much anesthesia." Your wound might be a little painful. Bear with it."1

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi responded. His mental state was not much different from when Jiang Yao had just found him. She was beside him, so he could not help but force himself to look at her a few more times.

Jiang Yao gently stroked between Lu Xingzhi's eyebrows. "Don't think about anything. Close your eyes and rest."

That sentence seemed to have magical power. Lu Xingzhi grabbed her hand before placing it on his chest. Sure enough, he closed his eyes and breathed steadily.

Jiang Yao let him hold her hand until the hospital director came to Jiang Yao with a case.

"Doctor, take a look at this case." The hospital director did not know the identity of the woman in front of him. He only knew that she was a doctor. That was why he called her doctor.

Jiang Yao, Old Master Liang, and the others did not deliberately explain her identity. They just let the hospital director make his own assumption.

Jiang Yao took the case file and flipped through it. Then, she read it out loud. "Chen Qijie, surgical opinion, amputation of both legs."

Jiang Yao read what was written in the file. According to that person's condition, amputation was the best way to save his life. However, Jiang Yao did not handle that case.

Back in Lanning, Jiang Yao was able to reattach a soldier's leg, which had been blown off.

Jiang Yao had to pull her hand away from Lu Xingzhi to turn the page. She had no idea that when she pulled her hand back, the man opened his eyes and looked at her.

Lu Xingzhi also did not expect to hear Chen Qijie's name the moment he opened his eyes. His anger was immediate; his heart ached with pain. He did not know whether that was due to his injury or his emotions.

"Let him die!" Lu Xingzhi growled. "Don't help him! No one is allowed to help him! He doesn't have the right to accept your help!"

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't help him. I won't help him." Jiang Yao quickly threw the files in her hand and turned around to coax Lu Xingzhi. "You are not allowed to be angry, and you are not allowed to speak loudly. As long as you are obedient, I will listen to everything you say. If you don't want me to help this man, then I won't help him."

Jiang Yao's words managed to keep Lu Xingzhi calm. However, he did not release her hand. "You can help anyone, but you're not allowed to help him."

"Fine, I'll listen to you." Jiang Yao could guess who Chen Qijie was. He was most likely the team leader.

That team leader had disregarded Lu Xingzhi's advice and led his men to Qian Yunen's ambush. Later on, Lu Xingzhi brought his men to rescue his comrades.

It was a pity that Qian Yunen had targeted Lu Xingzhi. Perhaps he captured the captain to lure Lu Xingzhi away.

In other words, the trap was set for Lu Xingzhi. However, Lu Xingzhi did not jump into it. Instead, Chen Qijie could not wait to jump in regardless of his advice.

Lu Xingzhi hated Chen Qijie. Too many people had been sacrificed, and he had watched his comrades die.
