Chapter 195 Tan Lin Wants to See Wen Jinian
Hearing Huo Yanchuan's explanation, Wenrou was still a little uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.
Her second brother's past actions were indeed a stain on his reputation, and she could only accept it for now.
The next morning, Wenrou took Wen Jinian to the transport team.
"This...this is the transport team you set up?" Wen Jinian was shocked as soon as he arrived at the door.
Like Wen Jiguang before him, he originally thought that the transport team Wenrou mentioned was just a small team temporarily put together by a few people.
He was surprised to find that the transport team was so big, and he was even more astonished when he went inside.
There is a clear division of labor here, with dedicated maintenance staff, and even dormitories and a kitchen.
Moreover, the living conditions were much better than he had imagined; it was not an ordinary transport team at all, but even more developed than what he had seen in the south.
Wenrou nodded gently and then led Wen Jinian on a tour of the transport team.
"How is it, Second Brother?" Wenrou asked him gently.
Wen Jinian was a little embarrassed, "Your transportation team system is already very mature, what else do you need me to do?"
Only then did he realize that Wenrou wanted him to come and help, but actually she was trying to help him. He felt a mix of emotions.
He used to protect her, but now it's his little sister's turn to protect him.
He had just checked; the transport team didn't need his help at all. Wenrou was just using an excuse to keep him here.
"You promised me yesterday that you would stay and help me, so you can't go back on your word now."
Wenrou knew that Wen Jinian would keep his promise, so she blocked all his escape routes in advance, preventing him from having any thoughts of going back.
He's already taken the first step, which means there's an opportunity.
I will keep my promise to you.
Wen Jinian softened at Wen Rou's request, after all, she was the little sister he had protected since childhood.
Wen Jiguang was also very happy to learn that Wen Jinian had joined the transport team.
I was worried that he wouldn't want to come out of this, but now I'm finally relieved.
After a while, we'll bring Dad over, and the whole family can be reunited here.
There's no need to worry about Wen Jinian's abilities; with his help, she can feel even more at ease.
At the hospital, Tan Lin didn't fully wake up until noon the next day.
Commander Tan stayed by her bedside the whole night without closing his eyes.
Although he failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, he felt heartbroken and guilty seeing his daughter lying unconscious in bed.
If only he had known Tan Lin was coming here sooner, he and his daughter wouldn't have had to wait until now to meet.
Although he felt a little resentful that Huo Yanchuan had only told him about Tan Lin now, he also knew Tan Lin's personality; if she didn't want to see him, there was nothing anyone could do.
Upon seeing Tan Lin wake up, Commander Tan rushed forward excitedly, "Linlin, you're awake."
When Tan Lin opened her eyes, she saw Commander Tan in front of her. After a moment of surprise, her expression changed slightly.
"What are you doing here?" Her tone was distant and cold, as if the person in front of her were a stranger.
Commander Tan did not answer Tan Lin's question, but asked with concern, "How are you feeling? Does the wound still hurt? I'll go and call the doctor to come and take a look."
At that moment, his face was full of a father's concern and love for his daughter. He then went out to find a doctor.
After examining Tan Lin, the doctor said, "The patient is out of danger, but the abdominal injury is still quite serious. The uterus is located very close to the abdomen, which may affect future fertility. You as family members should also be prepared."
"Will it affect fertility?" Upon hearing the doctor's words, Commander Tan's expression changed drastically.
Linlin isn't married yet. What if this affects her ability to have children?
"Doctor, my daughter isn't married yet. What will happen to her if she loses her fertility?"
Commander Tan reached out and grabbed the doctor's arm, his face full of worry.
The doctor understood Commander Tan's feelings, but sighed and said, "Don't worry too much. If her wound heals well, she has a chance to get pregnant, but it will be more difficult than for others."
Just then, Tan Lin's voice came over, "Don't make things difficult for the doctor. I will never get married or have children in my life. If I marry someone like you, I would rather stay single for the rest of my life."
Upon hearing Tan Lin's words, Commander Tan's expression changed slightly. He frowned, his face showing a complex mix of emotions.
"Linlin, I know I'm not a good father and I've been neglecting you all these years. It's normal for you to feel resentful, but you can't joke around with your health."
"You can leave now. I don't need you to take care of me here," Tan Lin said with her eyes closed, ending the previous conversation.
Commander Tan said with some concern, "How can I leave if you're like this?"
He knew that Tan Lin didn't want to see him right now, so in the end he could only spend money to find someone to temporarily take care of Tan Lin at the hospital.
Tan Lin remembered that the person who saved her was also injured, so she asked, "What happened to the person who saved me? How is he?"
"He's already gone. You focus on recovering from your injuries. Don't worry about anything else, I'll handle it." Commander Tan was unwilling to mention Wen Jinian; in his mind, Wen Jinian was still a suspect.
"What do you mean by this? Deal with it? How are you going to deal with it? This person is my savior, and you think you can just say 'deal with it' and that's it?" Tan Lin was somewhat angry at Commander Tan's attitude.
If it weren't for saving her, she wouldn't have gotten hurt.
"No matter what, they saved me, so I have to thank them in person," Tan Lin insisted.
Commander Tan frowned, but seeing the determined look on Tan Lin's face, he had no choice but to agree to go find Wen Jinian.
After arranging Wen Jinian's work, Wenrou went to the kitchen after returning to the family compound.
There happened to be a chicken in the kitchen that Li Xiuying had just bought yesterday. With red beans, red dates, and brown sugar, we could make a soup to nourish our blood and qi.
After Wenrou finished stewing the soup, she took a thermos and served some to Tan Lin and Wen Jinian respectively.
However, as soon as she arrived at the transport team, she saw Commander Tan's car parked at the entrance.
She was taken aback, wondering what he wanted to do there, so she stepped inside.
"Linlin is awake, and she wants to see you," Commander Tan said solemnly to Wen Jinian.
Wen Jinian was also taken aback when he heard that Tan Lin wanted to see him.
Then I heard Commander Tan's warning: "You should know what you've done before. I don't care if this is a coincidence or if you have other motives. If you dare to make any move, you should know the consequences."
Wen Jinian already knew Commander Tan's identity yesterday, and only after hearing his words did he understand why he had treated him that way yesterday.
However, before he could speak, a gentle voice came from behind him.
"Commander Tan, my second brother did make a mistake before, but he was deceived. The intelligence team has already investigated and proven that he has no connection with the spy organization. Why do you keep bringing this up?"
Wenrou was also very angry. If it were someone else, they definitely wouldn't dare to say these things to Commander Tan because of his status.
Gentle yet fearless, she doesn't care what kind of teacher or superior he is, or whether he is Huo Yanchuan's leader or not, he can't tolerate anyone bullying her family.
Commander Tan looked at Wenrou. He had already experienced Wenrou's personality when he went to the disaster area for rescue last time, and knew that she was not someone to be trifled with.
Seeing her standing in front of Wen Jinian was also a great headache.
"Second Brother, let's go." Wenrou ignored Commander Tan and turned to leave, pulling Wen Jinian's arm.
"This girl has quite a temper," Commander Tan sighed helplessly.
Wen Jinian thought that Commander Tan was Huo Yanchuan's superior. Would their lack of respect put Huo Yanchuan in a difficult position?
"Little sister, won't what we're doing affect Yanchuan?"
"Don't worry, Huo Yanchuan isn't a pushover who can be easily manipulated." Wenrou knew her man well and knew that he would always stand by her side.
Besides, this matter was originally largely due to Commander Tan's own fault. Even if Huo Yanchuan were his superior, he wouldn't indulge or flatter him in everything.
Hearing Wenrou say this, Wen Jinian felt relieved.
"Second brother, drink the chicken soup first to nourish your body." Wenrou quickly took out the cooked chicken soup and let Wen Jinian drink it while it was hot.
He was injured and had lost so much blood; his body was very weak, and Wenrou felt sorry for him.
"Thank you." Wen Jinian felt a surge of emotion when he saw that Wenrou had actually made him chicken soup.
"Don't thank me, we're like siblings. You used to protect me, now that I'm capable, it's my turn to protect you." She said gently, handing over the chicken soup.
She watched as Wen Jinian finished drinking the chicken soup before she felt relieved.
After delivering the chicken soup to Wen Jinian, Wenrou prepared to go to town to visit Tan Lin.
However, after hearing from Commander Tan that Sister Tan Lin wanted to see Second Brother, Wenrou went to the hospital with him.
In the hospital ward, Tan Lin had just finished her IV drip. Seeing Wen Rou at the door, she happily said, "Xiao Rou, you're here."
She was already bored to death, having no one to talk to and having to face Commander Tan.
Seeing Wenrou has finally cheered me up a bit.
"Sister Tan Lin, how are you feeling?"
"The doctor said I'm fine now," Tan Lin said, trying to sit up. Wenrou quickly went over to help her.
She helped Tan Lin sit up against the headboard and brought over the chicken soup she had made.
"This is some chicken soup I made. Have some to help you recover."
Tan Lin was surprised that Wenrou still remembered her, and she was very touched, after all, they hadn't known each other for very long.
"Thanks."
"Don't be so polite with me, drink it while it's hot."
Wenrou gently spoon-fed Tan Lin the chicken soup. Thinking of Commander Tan's situation, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Tan Lin, Commander Tan, he..."
"It's not your fault. This is between him and me, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, you notified him for my own good." Tan Lin shook her head and said with a smile.
She could understand why Wenrou did it this way.
After all, he was the only family she had left in the world. If she died from blood loss, he could help her with her funeral arrangements.
At this moment, Tan Lin also saw Wen Jinian standing at the door.
She remembered that if he hadn't fought desperately with the robbers and bought her some time, she probably would have lost her life long ago.
"It was you. Thank you for saving me and giving me a blood transfusion." Tan Lin had already heard about Wen Jinian giving her a blood transfusion, and looking at him, she was even more grateful.
"I'm glad you're alright. Anyone would have helped in this situation. Take good care of yourself and recover from your injury," Wen Jinian said somewhat apologetically.
"That won't do. I don't like owing favors to others, especially since you got injured saving me. What's your name? I'll definitely thank you properly once I've recovered."
Tan Lin is not the kind of person who is ungrateful; she is straightforward and likes to be direct.
"No...no need. My name is Wen Jinian. I saved you without expecting anything in return." Wen Jinian waved his hand.
"Wen...you and Xiaorou..." Hearing Wen Jinian's words, Tan Lin finally reacted and looked at Wenrou.
At this moment, Wenrou introduced him to her, saying, "He is my second brother."
"That's such a coincidence! In that case, I should thank you even more. You're my savior." Tan Lin looked at Wen Jinian with a smile on her face.
Her smile aggravated her wound, and she couldn't help but hiss.
Upon seeing this, Wen Jinian hurriedly asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
Tan Lin shook her head. "It's nothing, this little injury is nothing."
She used to fight with boys frequently in the military compound, and she was almost always covered in injuries.
"You still need to be careful. The doctor said your injury needs rest to heal quickly." This was the first time Wen Jinian had met such a straightforward woman, and he felt even more embarrassed in front of her.
Just then, Commander Tan appeared at the door.
Seeing how pleasantly Tan Lin and Wen Jinian were talking, he couldn't stop smiling, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
He had always been prejudiced against Wen Jinian because of what had happened before, so seeing his daughter getting along so well with him now was naturally hard for him to accept.
Tan Lin saw Commander Tan enter at this moment, and the smile on her face immediately disappeared, replaced by a more serious expression.
"Xiaorou, I don't need your help here. You and your second brother should go back first. I'll come find you after I've recovered," Tan Lin said to Wenrou.
She nodded gently. "Then we'll be going now. We'll come see you again when we have time."
After Wenrou and Wen Jinian left, Commander Tan stepped forward to look at Tan Lin. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tan Lin say, "I'm tired and need to rest. If you don't have anything else to do, you can go back. You don't need to come here anymore. We don't need you here, and I don't want to see you."
Commander Tan opened his mouth, but swallowed the words he wanted to say and turned to leave the ward.
Just then, Fang Yuru also learned about Tan Lin's injury at the family compound.
Knowing that Commander Tan had been taking care of her at the hospital for the past two days, her expression immediately turned very unpleasant.
