Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 783
"Let me introduce you to, this person, the most legendary figure of our LH squad, former flight squadron member—Jiang Ye!"
Jiang Ye’s reputation, even though he had retired six years ago, was still known by everyone in the LH squad, right?
Every year when new recruits come in, who doesn’t start hearing legends as soon as they walk through the door?
Previously, when he arrived, not many had paid attention, but who could blame them since Jiang Ye was still wearing the firefighter’s uniform?
Now, hearing this introduction, everyone was sharply jolted to attention.
"Jiang... Senior Jiang?"
Holy shit, to actually see the legend in person?
They all became excited, about to greet him.
But they were promptly stopped by the commander-in-chief:
"Quiet down!"
Cough cough.
Everyone was forcibly holding back.
"Now let’s start discussing the plan, if there are any questions, you can ask them later."
Don’t interrupt in the middle, it might disrupt the flow.
"Yes!"
A minute passed...
Two minutes passed...
Until five minutes had passed, the commander finally went through the plan once over.
Jiang Ye had never thought that one day he would be able to drive his old buddies again.
As Jiang Ye was inwardly reflecting, the commander-in-chief spoke up once more:
"Jiang Ye, did you get the mission clearly?"
He immediately came back to reality:
"Report, I got it clear!"
The commander-in-chief had been a bit worried before, but now, all his concerns had vanished into thin air.
If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Ye had to retire due to physical reasons back then, they would never have let him go.
"Right, then get ready."
The helicopter wasn’t heading straight for the mission, it had to make a trip to the airport first.
Jiang Ye’s equipment was brought over by an old teammate:
"Brand new, put it on."
"Thanks."
"Being polite with me?"
Jiang Ye glanced at him and didn’t respond any further.
....
In the mountains.
Lu Jing had already taken a nap, but with all sorts of worries on his mind, he definitely didn’t sleep well.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw Yu sitting not too far away.
"Yu?"
"Did Doctor Lu wake up?"
Lu Jing sat up:
"Yeah, can’t sleep anymore, I’ll take the second half of the night, you go sleep."
Yu had been so drowsy he could barely keep his eyelids open, truly relying on sheer willpower.
"Then I’ll sleep."
"Sleep well."
With a soft ’hmm’, Yu fell asleep instantly.
Lu Jing kept watch, and before he knew it, dawn had arrived.
In the mountains, the nights get dark early, and the mornings brighten early too.
However, he had to admit, the air was really fresh.
The villager uncle was the first to wake up, sitting up straight away:
"Dr. Xiao Lu, good morning."
"Uncle, good morning."
"Hmm, it shouldn’t rain today, I’ll go see if there’s anything to eat."
Lu Jing himself didn’t dare to wander around, but the villager uncle had been living in these mountains since he was young and was quite familiar with them.
Moreover, he had a good understanding of the situation in the mountains, knowing which wild fruits and vegetables were edible.
Like the rain from last night, there might be mushrooms.
After the villager uncle left, Lu Jing took a cup and went to the back to fetch water.
Dr. Yu, however, was still sleeping soundly.
Lu Jing didn’t wake him, just set up the cup to boil water.
It didn’t take long before the water in the cup was boiling.
Following what the villager uncle had done before, he folded a bamboo leaf and slowly poured a few sips of water.
The hot water was indeed comforting to the stomach.
Suddenly, a noise arose from the sky.
Getting closer and closer.
Dr. Yu was even jolted awake:
"A plane? Is it coming for us?" he asked excitedly.
Lu Jing really wanted to say: Wishful thinking.
This plane didn’t even look like it was going to stop, okay?
Indeed, a second later, they saw the plane fly away.
This really pissed off Dr. Yu.
