Top secret

The atmosphere in the ward was too awkward.

Old Wu held a half-peeled apple in his hand, he didn't want to put it down, or continue to peel it. He looked at Jiang Yuzhou, with three big characters "what to do" written on his face.

Jiang Yuzhou was more panicked than he was. He took the apple from Old Wu's hand and quietly cleared his throat, "Li Du, come here."

His tone was not gentle at all, like a domineering president who would scare his little wife.

The little wife didn't even give him a look, and left the ward without saying a word.

Old Wu didn't know what to do, he saw Li Du walking away and said, "Why is your family so temperamental?"

Jiang Yuzhou took a bite of the apple and didn't say anything. He was so anxious, but now he couldn't even get out of bed, the nail plates on his legs were not removed, and his legs couldn't be bent due to the thick plaster.

Old Wu is both Jiang Yuzhou's superior and the comrade-in-arms of Jiang Yuzhou's parents. Seeing Jiang Yuzhou's family conflicts escalating day by day, he is more anxious than gloating.

Old Wu picked up another apple and continued to peel it, "Isn't the family of the martyr..."

"Uncle," Jiang Yuzhou glanced at him, "Sorry, I'm still alive."

"Oh yes, you're still alive, you," Old Wu reacted and hit Jiang Yuzhou's hand hard with the back of a fruit knife, "I mean, Li Du really has a personality."

"It's okay, he has a temper." Jiang Yuzhou was sullen. Ever since he sneaked out a few days ago and was discovered by Li Du, Li Du never gave him a good face.

"He really cares about you." Old Wu finished peeling an apple again. He put the apple on the plate and was about to peel it into pieces. He didn't know what he thought of and stopped.

Two months ago.

Jiang Yuzhou led a team to wipe out the poisonous snake gang. The terrorists had already reached the point of desperation. They were a group of desperate people, but the people of the Fifth Special Forces were even more desperate. Everyone got out of the car with the determination to die with the enemy.

"If necessary, I will sacrifice for my country." The oath rings in my ears, it is a lofty belief, and it is also the end of the Jedi. The suicide notes of the soldiers have been written long ago.

Jiang Yuzhou didn't write every mission before, but this time his suicide note was too thick, and the address and name were written on the envelope.

Detonators and explosives were buried in the old unfinished building. Jiang Yuzhou led a team to lie in ambush for three days, and an exchange of fire was inevitable.

When the support arrived, Jiang Yuzhou was already unconscious, but he was holding a small photo tightly in his hand. The photo was soaked in blood, and it could be vaguely seen that it was a young man standing on a tree branch looking at the camera and smiling. .

When Lao Wu called Li Du, something seemed to be knocked over there, there was a loud crash, and then there was another muffled groan, as if the person answering the phone fell down.

Li Du only asked two questions in a calm and rational voice, "Are you still alive?" and "Where are you?"

Li Du arrived that night, and a group of people surrounded the door of the emergency room, and he couldn't squeeze in.

It was the first time for Old Wu to meet Li Du. He didn't expect that such a young man sounded so calm on the phone.

"You are Li Du?"

"It's me," Li Du nodded. He didn't make unnecessary greetings, and didn't even ask who Old Wu was. He just stared at the words "in operation" on the door of the emergency room, and asked how long Old Wu had been in.

Li Du's voice was hoarse, but it didn't shake.

"It's almost 8 hours."

Li Du closed his eyes, leaning against the white wall of the hospital a little stiffly, looking at the closed door of the operating room through a corridor.

Old Wu came over and stood beside him, and handed Jiang Yuzhou's suicide note to him.

The recipient is written in bold and powerful words on the envelope: "Chunfeng Road is free for half a day, Lidu"

"Is it a suicide note?" Li Du didn't seem surprised. He reached out to take the envelope but didn't open it. Instead, he folded the letter in half and put it in his pocket.

Old Wu noticed that Li Du's hands were shaking violently, his calmness and rationality were completely betrayed by his uncontrollable body reaction.

Li Du asked, "How is he?"

"It's not very good," Old Wu didn't hide from him, "I was already unconscious when I was sent in, and I couldn't get out of the collapsed house. Ribs and legs, chest and skull, these are the injuries that can be seen with the naked eye."

Li Du nodded, and asked old Wu Jiang Yuzhou if he had left any words.

"I didn't have time," Old Wu shook his head, "He's the last one, so if he wants anything, he probably wrote it in a letter to you."

Li Du said, "Now is not the time to watch."

Old Wu accompanied Li Du and waited in the corridor. During this period, Li Du answered a phone call. It seemed to be about work. Li Du explained everything in his shop one by one, calm and orderly.

Old Wu turned his head and glanced at the young man. Jiang Yuzhou's life and death are uncertain now, and Li Du's spirit is obviously in a state of extreme tension.

"It's hard work being with Jiang Yuzhou."

Old Wu really thought so, but Li Du gave him an unexpected answer.

Li Du blinked, smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I haven't dated Jiang Yuzhou for a day."

The sadness and self-deprecation in Li Du's words did not cover up, but Old Wu could not hear a trace of complaint.

Old Wu said, "You are quite admirable, Jiang Yuzhou saw the right person."

He felt that Li Du was really admirable, and he dared to like him like this when he didn't know anything about Jiang Yuzhou.

Li Du bowed his head after hearing this, and said after a long time, "I can't, let him worry."

The lights in the emergency room were on all night, and no one came out until five o'clock the next day. A group of people gathered around to ask about Jiang Yuzhou's situation, and Li Du was squeezed out of the crowd.

The doctor said: "The situation is not optimistic."

Li Du took a few short breaths, his body shook slightly, but he didn't speak.

Jiang Yuzhou suffered countless injuries, and the accompanying doctor said that Jiang Yuzhou had a high fever, and he issued a critical illness notice on the second day after Jiang Yuzhou was admitted to the hospital.

But Li Du still didn't take out the suicide note to read.

Jiang Yuzhou's fate was fatal, and on the fifth day after he was admitted to the hospital, his condition began to improve. Jiang Yuzhou's parents left the hospital after Jiang Yuzhou's condition temporarily stabilized. Before leaving, they told Li Du to find time to have dinner together.

Li Du has never left for a single step these days except to go to the toilet. He has been guarding outside the intensive care unit, and Old Wu even suspects that he will not be able to hold on if he does not rest.

When Jiang Yuzhou stayed in the ICU for a week, the doctor came out and said that the patient had woken up. Old Wu saw that Li Du suddenly lost his strength, slid against the wall and sat on the ground, his eyes were wet.

This was the first time Li Du cried since Jiang Yuzhou was admitted to the hospital. After knowing that Jiang Yuzhou had woken up, Li Du felt like someone had his spine pulled, and he couldn't stand up all of a sudden.

The visiting time in the intensive care unit is half an hour a day, and Lao Wu and Li Du can only come separately. Li Du has never asked for it since he came, but now he said to Lao Wu: "Uncle Wu, let me go in and have a look first. If I don't see him anymore, I'm going to die."

Jiang Yuzhou's condition was still not good. Jiang Yuzhou didn't wake up when Li Du went in. He just sat beside the hospital bed and watched Jiang Yuzhou for half an hour. When he came out again, he was in a daze.

He said, "Uncle Wu, my brother has lost a lot of weight."

Old Wu looked at Li Du and said nothing. If there was a weighing scale, Li Du would find that he had lost at least ten catties in the past few days.There was no flesh on his body, and his eye sockets were deep like a deflated ball these days.

On the day Jiang Yuzhou was transferred to the general ward, Li Du also fell ill. He had a high fever for several days and kept talking in his dreams every night, calling his brother for a while, and Jiang Yuzhou for a while.

Old Wu thought, what happened to Jiang Yuzhou really cost Li Du half his life.
