As estimated by Qiao Yue, a few minutes after they exited the bend, they saw their reinforcement team.
12 people in 3 cars came to support them. The car that Sanzi was driving could be scrapped; it was already a miracle that it lasted until now.
The two teams switched places. Two cars drove to the previous location to check things out while the other two took Qiao Yue and the rest back to the base.
Inside the modified Regius Ace, a bespectacled and gentle-looking female doctor treated Qiao Yue’s wound.
The knife in Qiao Yue’s shoulder was plunged deep, and she would need stitches when they arrived at the base.
“Gasp!” Qiao Yue sucked cold air through her teeth at the female doctor’s not-so-gentle technique.
“Yun, are you trying to kill me?” Qiao Yue’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She felt that Yun didn’t want to save her but wanted to kill her.
The female doctor called Yun sneered. “You’re always skating on thin ice. You’ll die sooner or later. Instead of letting you die in the hands of others, why not let me kill you.”
Although she said that, her hands were a little gentler.
Qiao Yue lay on a stretcher in the modified van as she smiled weakly at Yun. “You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart.”
“Ow!” As soon as Qiao Yue finished speaking, another monosyllable came out of her mouth.
Cold sweat trickled down her forehead. This time, Qiao Yue really didn’t have the mood to speak anymore.
The interaction between Qiao Yue and Yun made the others in the van laugh.
Stone was the first to speak. “Boss, you always tease Doctor Zhou. You always make her angry, and then you suffer.”
“Yup! Boss, you look like a young man trying to get his goddess’ attention. Don’t tell me you like Doctor Zhou!” Sanzi said.
Qiao Yue and Zhou Yun’s lips twitched when they heard Sanzi’s words.
The others might not know, but as Qiao Yue’s personal doctor, Zhou Yun knew Qiao Yue’s gender. She wasn’t bold enough to start an unusual relationship.
Seeing that Stone and Sanzi were still making sarcastic remarks, Qiao Yue cast them a faint glance and said, “Are you two very free? When you two feel better, go and catch Trand again.”
The two’s laughter stopped instantly. Stone turned to Qiao Yue in a daze. “Boss, me and Sanzi go and catch Trand?”
“Yes.” Qiao Yue replied monosyllabically without even opening her eyes.
Sanzi gulped. “Boss, are you joking?”
Sanzi didn’t get a reply from Qiao Yue. Instead, he got a burst of laughter from the people around him.
“Hahaha! You two deserve it for teasing the boss.”
The person who ridiculed him the most was Zhou Yun’s assistant, who was treating Stone’s wound.
Under the relaxed atmosphere, Qiao Yue fell asleep on the stretcher. It’s probably not appropriate to describe her as asleep but unconscious.
…
When Qiao Yue opened her eyes again, she was lying on a large bed and Zhou Yun was reading a book beside her bed.
“You’re awake?” Zhou Yun asked in a calm tone.
Qiao Yue took a moment to come to and then looked around. She was in her room at the base.
“I…”
As soon as she opened her mouth, Qiao Yue heard her extremely hoarse voice.
Zhou Yun got up and went to the table to pour a glass of water for Qiao Yue.
“You’ve been sleeping the whole day. It’s three in the afternoon now.”
Even without Qiao Yue saying anything, Zhou Yun knew what she wanted to say and told her everything she wanted to know.
“Where’s Chu Jia? Is she back?”
Qiao Yue had always trusted Chu Jia. When Chu Jia said she would meet her back at the base, she would never go back on her word.
“She was shot once in the leg and once in the arm. The bullets have been removed and she’s fine now. The person with Chu Jia, his life is not in any danger, but he has some serious abrasions and will need a long time to recuperate.”
Qiao Yue’s tense nerves finally relaxed when she heard that everyone was fine.
“You have time to care about others, what about yourself?” Zhou Yun sat by Qiao Yue’s bed and asked.
Qiao Yue frowned in confusion. What happened to her?
“I heard from Stone yesterday that Trand stabbed you because of his carelessness.” Zhou Yun raised her eyebrows slightly and scrutinized Qiao Yue with her eyes.
Qiao Yue’s scalp tightened under her gaze. Stone was such a big mouth. If he wanted to say anything, he could have said that Trand was too capable. Why did he say that he was careless?
