A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

Without hesitation, Li Tao raised his hand and fired a shot.

"—Bang!"

The instant the gunshot rang out, Joan felt her body sway as if something heavy had pressed down on her.

When she opened her eyes, a familiar face came into view.

Huo Jiyun frowned slightly, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.

Are you alright?

Hearing the sound, Qiao An realized that Huo Jiyun had tackled her and saved her life at the critical moment.

"Huo Jiyun? You... what brings you here?"

The scene was in chaos. Qiao An didn't care about Li Tao and the others because she saw a glaring red in her eyes.

"Huo Jiyun, you're injured!" Qiao An quickly sat up and helped him up.

Qiao An's hands were covered in blood, and when she looked at Huo Jiyun, his back was soaked.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury, don't worry." Huo Jiyun groaned, still mindful of her feelings even at a time like this.

Li Tao was pinned to the ground by the arriving police and soldiers, and his pistol was taken away.

"Commander! Commander!"

Upon seeing that Huo Jiyun was injured, the soldiers immediately gathered around him.

"Get him to the hospital right away!" Joan shouted, grabbing a young soldier.

They carried Huo Jiyun on their backs and ran outside.

Ignoring everyone else, Joan took off and followed.

Zhao Zhengang grabbed Qiao An, "Where are you going?"

"That's my husband!"

After saying that, Joan ran off.

Huo Jiyun, who was lying on the back of the soldier, heard Qiao An's voice and managed a weak smile.

She actually told outsiders in public that he was her husband.

Huo Jiyun felt that the injury on his shoulder didn't hurt as much anymore.

There is a health center in the town, but its facilities are limited.

The doctors at the Armed Forces Hospital are all military doctors, and they are more experienced in treating gunshot wounds.

You'll pass by the health center on your way to the Armed Forces Hospital.

As Shen Xiufang got off her bicycle, she saw a large group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms running past the door.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, but she actually spotted Joan in the crowd.

Without thinking, she said to Huo Jifeng, "Look at her, a married woman, always following her husband around like a shadow."

"What are you doing all day in town? Didn't you say you were working in the police station's canteen?"

There were many people standing at the entrance of the health center. Shen Xiufang was afraid that Qiao An could not hear her, so she shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Qiao An! You're just disgracing the Huo family! Have you never seen a man before? Aren't the men in our family enough for you to look at?"

Qiao An turned to look at Shen Xiufang, her eyes sharp as knives, as if she wanted to kill her.

She was worried about Huo Jiyun's injuries and didn't have time to argue with Shen Xiufang, but she was in a bad mood and remembered those words she had just heard.

Joan followed the soldiers all the way to the armed forces department.

The soldiers on guard at the gate stopped her, saying, "Comrade, unauthorized personnel from the Armed Forces Department are not allowed to enter."

"I am Huo Jiyun's wife!"

A young soldier who had already run into the armed forces department turned back. "Commander Huo just said that this is his wife. Let your wife in."

Qiao An successfully arrived at the Armed Forces Hospital with them.

Huo Jiyun lay on his side on the hospital bed as the doctor treated his wounds.

"It's not a penetrating wound, so surgery is needed."

"I'm a family member, do I need to sign for the surgery? I'll sign now." Joan stood up abruptly.

Huo Chen and Huo Ning had just experienced their father's love, and she couldn't imagine how heartbroken the two children would be if they lost their father now.

In her past life, as the commander of the Eternal Sanctuary, Joan suffered countless injuries. She was always the one protecting others, and no one ever stood up for her.

But this time... this time it was Huo Jiyun who risked his own safety to protect her.

Joan had never felt this way before.

She couldn't quite describe her feelings right now, and it wasn't just because of the child.

It was her who didn't want anything to happen to Huo Jiyun.

Without saying a word, the doctor brought out the informed consent form, which Qiao An quickly signed.

Qiao An and the doctor together pushed Huo Jiyun to the operating room.

The long corridor seemed very far away.

Huo Jiyun struggled to lift his eyelids. The woman in front of him had blood on her hands, looked anxious, and had disheveled hair.

For some reason, Huo Jiyun reached out and covered Qiao An's hand that was pushing the bed.

Qiao An lowered her head and met Huo Jiyun's somewhat dazed eyes.

"I'll cook you something delicious when you come out."

"Huo Jiyun, my child and I will wait for you."

Huo Jiyun smiled and closed his eyes.

The operating room lights came on.

Joanne sat in the corridor, staring blankly at the bloodstains on her hands.

A short while later, Li Daoming, the Minister of the Armed Forces Department, rushed over.

He spotted Joan immediately.

"Comrade, are you Commander Huo's wife?" Li Daoming looked her up and down.

"Yes."

"How is Commander Huo?"

"I don't know, he's in surgery right now. The injury is on his right shoulder, but it shouldn't be a vital organ."

After calming down, Qiao An said.

In the apocalypse, it is common for humans to kill each other, and Joan has treated many gunshot wounds.

After calming down, she judged that Huo Jiyun was probably not in any danger.

Li Daoming was somewhat surprised, but then he understood.

After all, she is Huo Jiyun's wife, so it's normal for her to know more.

"What's your name?"

"Joan".

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, Commander Huo should be hospitalized for a while. Would you like to prepare some daily necessities for him?"

"OK."

Joan ran out of the Armed Forces Hospital like a gust of wind.

The surgery will take at least two or three hours. Instead of just waiting here, we might as well do something for Huo Jiyun.

She had everything in her space. After leaving the armed forces department, she found a deserted alley.

Take out the washbasin, towel, toothpaste, toothbrush, and slippers.

She suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have any men's underwear to change into.

So I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought four.

On the way to the Armed Forces Department, we passed by the health center again.

Qiao An saw the bicycle that Huo Jifeng had ridden up.

She sneaked outside the parking shed and, when no one was around, put the bicycle into her storage space.

Although we've managed to deal with Shen Xiufang now, taking away the bicycle will still annoy her for a while.

When Joan returned to the Armed Forces Hospital, the surgery was still ongoing.

She put her things in the ward and went outside the operating room.

Li Daoming was still waiting there. Qiao An didn't know who he was, but he looked like a leader.

"Boss, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Comrade Xiao Qiao, please speak." Li Daoming quickly sat up straight.

"My child and niece with Huo Jiyun are at our home in Lianchi Village. I definitely won't be able to go back tonight. I would like to borrow your phone to make a call to the Lianchi Village committee."

"sure."

Li Daoming sent someone to take Qiao An to make a phone call.

Tian Yongfu answered the phone. Qiao An did not explain Huo Jiyun's identity, only saying that the police station was carrying out a major operation and she had to stay to work overtime.

Let them take the child over and help take care of him for a couple of days.

As for the business of making steamed buns and pies, it should be put on hold for now, but the stove still needs to be set up.

Tian Yongfu is a Party member with high awareness. When he heard that it was for the police station to work overtime, he readily agreed.

"Do your job well at the police station. Don't worry about the kids, just leave them with us."

Qiao An then gave Huo Fang instructions regarding going to school the next day.

After hanging up the phone, she returned to the operating room.

After waiting for an hour, the operating room light suddenly went out.

The doctor came out and took off his mask.

Qiao An, Li Daoming, and several young soldiers immediately went over.

"Doctor, how is Huo Jiyun?" Qiao An asked.
