The Young Urban Doctor - Chapter 2422

When Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan got up, there were still some people hiding in the tents sleeping.

Yang Qingyin was already awake. She shared a tent with Ouyang Feifei and seemed not to have slept well; she looked not too spirited.

Ouyang Feifei was also up; her face showed the same signs of sleep deprivation as Yang Qingyin.

Luo Yuqing and Dai Shulan were still not awake, both soundly sleeping. Fang Dongxun and Fang Qianqian, who went to bed early, had already been up for a while and upon waking, had taken a walk nearby accompanied by Luo Liansheng, who also got up early.

Wuyue, Yang Xiaodong, Wang Zhenjun, and others were also awake; they had high-quality sleep, allowing them to feel refreshed after just a few hours of rest.

Those who didn’t go out last night surely woke up early.

Seeing Luo Ziling and Ling Ruonan awake, everyone they met greeted them.

Luo Liansheng walked over to Luo Ziling and, with a cheerful smile, instructed, “Ling’er, after breakfast, accompany your mom and the others for a stroll nearby!”

Luo Ziling naturally agreed.

He did not notice the whereabouts of Lin Lan and the others and hastily asked Wuyue.

Wuyue told Luo Ziling that Lin Lan went across the stream to the other side.

Luo Ziling quickly informed Ling Ruonan, Yang Qingyin, and the others before hurriedly eating a bit and then leaving the house, running across the stepping stones in the stream, heading toward the direction of the pastures on the other side.

From afar, he saw two women standing there.

Before he got closer, he could clearly see it was Lin Lan and Shanque standing there.

Seeing Luo Ziling approaching, Shanque called out with a smile, “After coming last time, I thought I’d never be back here again. Unexpectedly, it hasn’t even been a year, and here I am. Last time, how did I not notice how beautiful the scenery is here?”

Luo Ziling replied with a smile, “The scenery here is indeed very beautiful. Last time you came, it was for a mission, not for sightseeing, and you were afraid I’d spot your tracks, so you sneaked in and out like a thief. There was no leisure to enjoy the scenery.”

Lin Lan glanced at Luo Ziling without saying anything.

“Where are those other guys?” Not seeing Mountain Eagle or Falcon, Luo Ziling was a bit curious, “They haven’t already left, have they?”

“They went to scout the situation. I’m worried there might still be spies around.” Lin Lan said softly, “Even though the captured people confessed the number of their combat team, there must be someone to pick them up. The exact number of pickup people is unclear, and they themselves might not know the detailed situation, so we cannot be careless.”

“Let your superiors inform the border troops to increase patrols. The spies wouldn’t dare to act against military personnel unless it’s absolutely necessary, or it would spark a war.”

Upon hearing Luo Ziling’s suggestion, Lin Lan nodded gently, “We’ve already notified them, but for the spies wanting to operate in the Tianshan line, besides sending special forces to tangle with them, there really isn’t a better way.”

“Is your mission complete this time?” Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan, “Was the stolen intelligence retrieved?”

“They destroyed it!” Lin Lan said with some regret, “The storage device had a self-destruct mechanism inside.”

“Anyway, it wasn’t sent out. That’s considered a success,” Luo Ziling smiled. “Successfully stopping their escape, the intelligence from our base was intercepted. Your mission this time should be considered successfully completed, right?”

“Sort of!” Lin Lan finally smiled, “Really, thank you all!”

“No need to be polite, we’re all in this together!” Luo Ziling smiled even brighter.

“We’ll be leaving shortly!” Lin Lan said regretfully to Luo Ziling, “Before sunset today, we need to rendezvous with others. In the afternoon, a helicopter will arrive nearby to pick us up, and we’ll be gone before it gets here.”

“Alright, then I’ll accompany you for a walk around here!” Although Luo Ziling felt a bit regretful, he didn’t express it in front of Shanque.

Shanque, being perceptive, immediately said, “I’ll go scout the area, and come back to find you later.”

Lin Lan did not object, nodding in agreement.

Watching Shanque quickly vanish from sight, Luo Ziling looked at Lin Lan with playful eyes, “Will she file a report on us?”

Lin Lan shook her head, gazing at Luo Ziling with gentle eyes.

“That’s the spot where you fell after getting injured, let me take you there,” Luo Ziling pointed to a spot about three or four hundred meters ahead, “but surely there’s no trace left.”

Last time, the day after saving Lin Lan, Luo Ziling went there to search, fearful that something might have been left behind.

But after a heavy rain, nothing was left.

Nearly a year has passed, and even a tiny trace would have long been obscured by time.

Lin Lan nodded and walked side by side with Luo Ziling towards that spot.

After reaching nearby, Luo Ziling carefully examined the area, finally pointing to a spot overgrown with pasture, smiling, “It should be here.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Lan walked over there, parted the grass, and looked for a good while.

After finding no unusual signs, she sat there somewhat dejectedly.

Luo Ziling also sat down beside her.

“How did you find me?” Lin Lan softly asked Luo Ziling.

“I was collecting herbs on the mountain that day. From afar, I saw something in the pasture. Upon getting closer, I saw an injured woman lying there. I immediately helped stop your bleeding, then noticed the red five-star armband on your shoulder, realizing that you were definitely a Huaxia soldier, so I brought you back.” Saying this, Luo Ziling grinned, “Unexpectedly, I saved such a beautiful military woman.”

Lin Lan gave Luo Ziling a sidelong glance, but her heart was warm.

“When I brought you back and found out you were so seriously injured, with a bullet nearly hitting the heart and another lodged in your thigh, do you know how much effort it took to perform surgery on you? Without an assistant, operating alone, it was truly exhausting.”

Hearing this, Lin Lan smiled sheepishly, then leaned over to rest on Luo Ziling, softly saying with a touch of shyness, “Didn’t it give you a feast for your eyes?”

“Uh!” Luo Ziling was a bit embarrassed, “What kind of feast? There’s no difference between men and women in a doctor’s eyes.”

“Do you now think there’s a difference between me and a man?”

“Yes!” Luo Ziling nodded, “Men wouldn’t torment me to death!”

The result was a playful pinch from Lin Lan.

Blushing, Lin Lan leaned on Luo Ziling’s shoulder, thought for a moment, then said, “After waking up, I couldn’t figure out what was going on. However, seeing how handsome you are and knowing you saved me, I decided not to kill you to silence.”

“No way?” Luo Ziling was shocked, “If I wasn’t so handsome, would I have died at the hands of your gun?”

“It’s possible!” Lin Lan chuckled, “But I definitely couldn’t have killed you because you’re more capable than I am.”

“What does it feel like to come here again?”

“It’d be much better without other people!” Lin Lan sighed.

“If there were no other people, you’d definitely force yourself on me!”

“…”
