Chapter 296

Su Ruo knew that Song Jingyu and Lu Zhan would have a lot to say to each other, so she made an excuse that she had business and left, and she closed the door for them.

After Su Ruo left, Lu Zhan carefully inquired about Song Jingyu's physical condition, and after confirming he was fine, he solemnly asked: "When you were injured back then, what exactly happened?"

Lu Zhan understands Song Jingyu's abilities better than Su Ruo does, so he clearly knows that in such a competition, no one could possibly injure Song Jingyu.

But the scene at the time was too chaotic; no one could clearly say what happened, and the truth of the facts could only be revealed after Song Jingyu woke up.

During this period, Lu Zhan had been worrying about Song Jingyu's condition; now that Song Jingyu finally woke up, his heart could finally rest, and it was time to settle accounts.

Song Jingyu recounted everything that had happened back then to Lu Zhan in detail.

Upon learning that all of this was deliberately done by Wang Yi, Lu Zhan slammed his fist hard on the table and angrily cursed: "This scumbag!"

At this moment, Lu Zhan's eyes already held a chilling killing intent; that is, now it's peacetime, but if it were wartime, he would have long since dealt with Wang Yi, the military, the law—daring to assassinate compatriots is no different from being a traitor.

Wang Yi said in an utterly solemn voice: "You can rest assured—the organization will certainly give you an explanation for this matter, and will also deal with Wang Yi strictly."

Song Jingyu nodded; he never doubted the organization's fairness.

"During this time, just rest properly; don't think about anything else."

No matter what, seeing Song Jingyu wake up with his own eyes, the big stone weighing on Lu Zhan's heart finally fell to the ground.

During this time he truly worried himself gray-haired; if Song Jingyu didn't wake up, he who never believed in gods and buddhas might start praying to them.

"Chief, what exactly is going on with that Zhang Wan?"

Song Jingyu thought for a long time, finally recalling who Zhang Wan was; they had indeed gone on a mission together before, though they only interacted for a few days, and at that time Zhang Wan had been accidentally injured—it was indeed Song Jingyu who saved her.

But Song Jingyu acted merely out of instinct; even if the injured person then hadn't been Zhang Wan but anyone else, he would still have gone to save them.

After Song Jingyu rescued Zhang Wan, she fell into a coma; he moved her to a safe place, handed her over to the doctors, and then continued with the mission.

They had barely exchanged a few words, and that was two or three years ago; so Song Jingyu really couldn't figure out why Zhang Wan would show up at his door now.

Moreover, in front of Su Ruo he uttered those ambiguous remarks, deliberately trying to drive a wedge between him and Su Ruo.

Upon hearing Song Jingyu's words, Lu Zhan instantly blushed, his expression turning extraordinarily complicated.

How could he tell his precious disciple: it was me who, while you were injured and unconscious, brought a love rival for your fiancée, and this person almost bullied your fiancée.

Lu Zhan knew that if he dared say that, the brat before him would surely throw a tantrum; given Song Jingyu's bad temper and how much he dotes on Su Ruo, he would definitely ignore him for ten days or half a month.

So Lu Zhan ultimately decided to conceal this matter, after all Song Jingyu has just woken up and can't take any stress; he's doing this for Song Jingyu's health.

After comforting himself like that, Lu Zhan without hesitation started shifting blame, saying with a stern face: "Who knows how she came; upon hearing you were injured, she insisted on coming no matter what, and I had people try to drive her away but couldn't."

"It must be some romantic debt you incurred outside—left Hao Manru, right Zhang Wan—how many women have you provoked out there? I don't care about this matter; you clean it up yourself."

"I tell you, Doctor Su is a good girl; you must not let her suffer any grievance, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

After hearing Lu Zhan's words, Song Jingyu's brows knit tightly together; although Lu Zhan's words sounded normal, Song Jingyu just felt something was off.

Lu Zhan, being stared at by Song Jingyu, instantly panicked, afraid that if he stayed longer Song Jingyu would see through something, so he threw out a sentence: "I still have things to handle," and hurried away.

Song Jingyu watched Lu Zhan's hurried back, his suspicions growing stronger, though he couldn't yet sort out the clues.

Lu Zhan came out of the ward and happened to meet Su Ruo; upon seeing her, he walked over with a fawning smile.

Su Ruo looked at Lu Zhan smiling with a face full of wrinkles, and instinctively rubbed the goosebumps on her arm.

To be honest, she still felt Lu Zhan looked better when he wasn't smiling; this smile of his really looked somewhat frightening.

Su Ruo saw that Lu Zhan clearly had something on his mind but was hemming and hawing, unwilling to speak, so she asked: "Chief, you called me for something?"

Lu Zhan cleared his throat before saying: "I know that during this time you've taken care of him painstakingly; Song Jingyu's smooth awakening is entirely thanks to you."

"You have also endured considerable criticism because of this; I, on behalf of Song Jingyu and the entire military region, thank you."

"This is just what I should do." Su Ruo immediately said; frankly, hearing the leader give her such praise, she felt no joy at all, but rather a sense of foreboding.

When things go awry there must be a demon; Su Ruo always felt that when the leader shows excessive enthusiasm, he either wants to use you or make you cannon fodder.

Lu Zhan's smile froze instantly; seeing Su Ruo's expression unchanged by his words, he could only abandon that strategy, putting on a fawning face and saying: "Little Su! It was my fault back then for inviting Zhang Wan over, which caused you to suffer quite a bit of grievance."

"I've now realized my mistake; look, Song Jingyu is awake now—can we just let this matter go and not bring it up again?"

Su Ruo had thought Lu Zhan was looking for her for some other reason! Actually it was just this matter; she had long stopped caring about it, and moreover such a senior leader personally apologized to her, so Su Ruo naturally couldn't hold onto it.
