Chapter 83 How did you know I would sacrifice myself?
As soon as Peng Shao came out, he saw Wenrou being carried away by a man in military uniform.
He didn't know what was going on, or what was wrong with Wenrou, so he had no choice but to follow her.
After Hao Gang and his men dealt with the spies, they came out and learned that Wenrou had been taken to the hospital by Huo Yanchuan, so they rushed over there.
If it weren't for Wenrou, all of them would probably have perished here today.
Huo Yanchuan carried Wenrou directly to the nearest hospital, which was fortunately not far from them.
"Doctor...Doctor!" Huo Yanchuan shouted anxiously as soon as he entered the hospital.
Upon hearing the sound, someone quickly came over.
The other people in the hospital couldn't help but look over curiously when they saw Huo Yanchuan wearing a military uniform.
Watching Wenrou being wheeled into the operating room, Huo Yanchuan could only wait anxiously at the door.
He remained calm when facing those two spies and when he learned that he and his brothers were going to sacrifice themselves.
But at this moment, as he watched Wenrou being taken into the operating room, his heart completely panicked.
He stood at the door of the operating room, his face full of helplessness and self-blame, his hands hanging at his sides still trembling slightly.
Just then, Peng Shao and Hao Gang arrived.
"Commander, how is your wife?" Hao Gang asked hurriedly when he saw Huo Yanchuan.
Huo Yanchuan shook his head; he didn't know the situation inside either.
However, thinking about how much blood Wenrou had lost and how panicked and scared she looked, he felt nothing but heartache and guilt. He didn't know what to do at this moment.
This was the first time Hao Gang had ever seen Huo Yanchuan so distraught, but he could understand his commander's feelings at this moment.
"You're the gentle husband?" Peng Shao confirmed his identity at this moment through the conversation between Huo Yanchuan and Hao Gang.
Upon hearing the sound, the two of them looked towards Peng Shao at the same time.
Hao Gang was stunned when he saw that he was the same stranger who had been with Wenrou at the state-run restaurant.
"Who are you?" Huo Yanchuan looked at Peng Shao at this moment, a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Seeing that the two of them were looking at him as if he were an enemy, Peng Shao introduced himself: "My name is Peng Shao, and I am Wenrou's friend."
"A friend you just met?" Huo Yanchuan had never heard Wenrou mention this name before, so it's no wonder he was wary of Peng Shao.
Thinking about how Wenrou had said she didn't know him when she was with him, Huo Yanchuan felt very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but look at Peng Shao with a hint of hostility.
He noticed the car the man had just been driving; that Hongqi sedan wasn't something an ordinary person could drive, so his identity seemed extraordinary.
"What? Even if she's your wife, she still has the right to make friends, right?" Peng Shao also sensed Huo Yanchuan's hostility towards him, but he wasn't intimidated by Huo Yanchuan's imposing aura at all.
Hao had just seen the man come out from the direction of the kitchen, so he asked curiously, "Did you turn on the water tank just now?"
It was thanks to the restaurant being flooded that the others were able to escape, giving them enough time.
The explosives would be rendered ineffective when they came into contact with water, and even without Wenrou's prior ambush, the explosion could have been averted.
Regardless, it was he and Wenrou who saved them together, and Hao Gang was very grateful.
Peng Shao didn't take all the credit for himself. He looked at Wenrou, who was still in the operating room, and said to Huo Yanchuan and Hao Gang, "It was she who made me do it. I didn't know there were explosives planted inside."
In this world, there aren't many people he admires, but gentleness is definitely one of them.
Although he and Wenrou had only known each other for a few days, her decisiveness and courage in the face of danger were something he could never achieve in his entire life.
It's just a pity that he didn't meet her sooner.
Hearing Peng Shao's words, Hao Gang admired Wenrou even more.
If Huo Yanchuan was the only person he respected and admired in the army before, then now, Wenrou is another one.
During this operation, none of them discovered that the two spies had explosives, but Wenrou did.
It's no exaggeration to say that she was their savior; Wenrou definitely made a great contribution to this mission.
"No matter what, on behalf of all the brothers and everyone in the state-run restaurant, thank you." Huo Yanchuan looked at Peng Shao and gave him a standard military salute.
His words of thanks were sincere.
However, this does not mean that he can let this man covet his wife.
These are two separate matters, one public and one private, and he can still distinguish between them.
As a man himself, Huo Yanchuan knew all too well that the admiring look in the man's eyes when he looked at Wenrou was definitely not just a simple friendship.
"You're welcome. My intention wasn't to help you; I just didn't want to see my friend take risks."
Peng Shao's statement was indeed his original intention; he simply wanted to help Wenrou.
When it comes to matters of principle, his gentleness is more important than his sense of righteousness.
However, the hero who saved everyone is now lying in the operating room. Peng Shao looked in the direction of the operating room, his eyes full of worry.
"Brother, what happened to Xiaorou?" Just then, Peng Xiaowan heard the news and rushed over.
She was getting anxious waiting for them alone at the guesthouse, so she decided to come and check on them.
After seeing that the state-run restaurant was flooded, I inquired and learned that Wenrou had been sent to the hospital here, so I rushed over.
Wenrou has helped their family so much, so they were naturally very worried when they heard about her accident.
When Peng Xiaowan arrived, she saw two men in military uniforms.
She was taken aback. Although she didn't know their relationship with Wenrou, she could tell from the worried looks on their faces that the situation was probably not good.
At that moment, Wenrou, lying in the operating room, reached out and grabbed the doctor's arm.
"Doctor, please, please save my child."
I don't know if she wanted too much, which led to this situation.
She wanted Huo Yanchuan to be safe and sound, and she also wanted her child to be alright.
But she dared not think about it, because in her previous life, she had failed to protect her child, and Huo Yanchuan had also sacrificed himself.
In that situation, she couldn't think too much.
Even if she were forced to choose only one to save, she couldn't do it.
She didn't know why the thought of Huo Yanchuan sacrificing himself made her feel so sad.
The thought of him leaving her was simply unbearable for her.
If the child dies as a result, it may be their fate.
"Don't worry, it's just some mild contractions. You have to believe that the baby in your belly will be fine," the doctor said, holding her hand to comfort her as he saw the worry on Wenrou's face.
After taking the medication to prevent miscarriage, Wenrou gradually felt less pain in her stomach and soon fell asleep.
After she was wheeled out again, Huo Yanchuan was the first to step forward and hurriedly asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
"Both the mother and the baby are fine. After all, she's carrying twins, so she needs to be careful to rest well and avoid any emotional outbursts," the doctor said to Huo Yanchuan repeatedly.
Hearing that Wenrou was alright, Huo Yanchuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it was only then that he realized that the doctor had just said that Wenrou was carrying twins?
Does that mean he's about to have twins?
At that moment, he didn't know whether to be overjoyed, relieved, or grateful—grateful that Wenrou had kept the two children in her womb.
I'm so glad I met her in this lifetime.
After Wenrou was moved to a ward, Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan were relieved to see that she was alright.
However, she had only just learned that the man in military uniform was her gentle husband.
With him here, they couldn't stay any longer.
Hao Gang knew that Huo Yanchuan needed to be alone with Wenrou at this time, so he tactfully withdrew and closed the door to the ward for them.
He looked at Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan and said, "With the regimental commander taking care of your wife, you can rest assured."
Peng Xiaowan nodded politely, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
She was dressed simply, with a delicate and gentle face, and her demeanor was graceful and poised. Her voice was as melodious as a light bell, and Hao Gang couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
After she finished speaking, she turned to Peng Shao and said, "Brother, Xiao Rou has her husband here, so there's nothing we can do to help her now. Why don't we go find Uncle first and wait for her to come back?"
Peng Shao nodded; this was the only option now.
When Hao Gang heard that they were looking for someone, he asked curiously, "Who are you looking for? Do you need any help?"
After all, Peng Shao had just saved their brothers, and the two of them were friends with Wenrou, so they were thinking about whether they could help in any way.
Seeing that Hao Gang was so kind-hearted, Peng Xiaowan was just about to say that they were going to the Gobi Desert in Northwest China.
But before she could say anything, Peng Shao refused, saying, "No need."
After he finished speaking, he left the hospital with Peng Xiaowan.
Seeing that the other party had refused, Hao Gang didn't say anything more.
After finishing up here, he needs to return to his unit and report to his superiors.
Peng Shao and Peng Xiaowan drove ahead. It was fine at first, but the further northwest they went, the stronger the sandstorm became.
In addition, he was unfamiliar with the terrain, making the journey extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Hao Gang caught up with them quickly.
Seeing that they were heading towards the Gobi Desert, I kindly stepped forward and reminded them, "The roads here are difficult to navigate. Since this is your first time here, you may not be familiar with the terrain and could easily take many wrong turns."
When Peng Xiaowan saw Hao Gang, she remembered that they had refused his kindness earlier, and now that they were in trouble, he was so kind as to come up and help them.
So he said somewhat apologetically, "I'm really sorry, comrade, could you please lead the way for us? We need to go to Yongquan Village to find someone."
When Hao Gang heard that they were going to Yongquan Village, he was naturally happy to help.
"No problem, our troops are not far from Yongquan Village, just follow us."
Seeing how kind Hao Gang was, Peng Xiaowan said gratefully, "Thank you so much."
Hao Gang looked at Peng Xiaowan, then at Peng Shao beside her. Out of consideration for her gentleness, he had to remind him, "The sandstorm here is too strong. The car is likely to break down if it doesn't drive well. Follow behind our car and drive slowly."
Not long after he gave that warning, Peng Shao's car broke down.
It was Hao Gang who managed to fix the car; he followed the method Wenrou had taught him, and it worked!
Later, because Peng Shao's driving skills were really bad, the car broke down again after driving for a short while.
There was no other way, so Hao Gang had to temporarily take Peng Shao's place as the driver.
It was simply because they had bought so much stuff, and with the bumpy ride, there really wasn't enough room for anyone else in the back.
Peng Shao was worried about letting Peng Xiaowan squeeze in with several grown men, so he had to go by himself.
So only Hao Gang and Peng Xiaowan were left in the car, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
However, Peng Xiaowan had a good impression of Hao Gang, knowing that he was a warm-hearted person, and seeing that he was wearing a military uniform, she lowered her guard.
Despite Hao Gang's usual eloquence, he still gets nervous when he's around women.
Seeing that Peng Xiaowan didn't speak, he didn't know what to say either, so the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became silent.
At the hospital, when Wenrou woke up, she saw Huo Yanchuan sitting by her bedside.
"Huo Yanchuan, the doctor said my child is fine."
For some reason, the moment she saw Huo Yanchuan's first words, she wanted to tell him the news in person, also to confirm whether the child was really alright.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yanchuan smiled and said, "Yes, both of our children are fine."
Seeing that Huo Yanchuan knew the children were twins, Wenrou didn't intend to keep it a secret any longer.
Seeing that he truly treats the two children as his own, Wenrou even thought that it wouldn't be bad to spend her whole life with him.
"No matter what happens, you and the child are the most important. Xiaorou, don't take such risks again." Thinking about what had just happened, Huo Yanchuan still felt a little scared.
Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan's serious expression and saw that he genuinely cared about the child, which warmed her heart.
"You said you're the child's biological father, so I can't let you sacrifice yourself." Touched as she was, Wenrou didn't want such a good father to be gone.
He had already sacrificed himself once in his previous life, so this time she was determined to give it her all. Fortunately, they won in the end.
She didn't know before, but now that she does, she can't bear to let it happen again.
How did you know I would sacrifice myself?
Huo Yanchuan always felt that Wenrou seemed to have the ability to foresee things. When he was facing those two spies just now, for a moment, a bright light flashed before his eyes, followed by a violent explosion.
At that moment, he could even picture himself actually dying in the explosion.
The feeling was so real, as if he had experienced it himself.
Huo Yanchuan looked at Wenrou and continued to ask in a serious tone, "Xiaorou, do you know something?"
The same thing happened at home and at the Wen family's house. If Wenrou hadn't warned him in advance that Wen Jiguang would be in danger, he wouldn't have had the chance to save him.
