"… Yeah." It took him a while to answer.
Shuxin got out of the car just as Song Li came out of the police station.
"Miss Shu, how's The Fifth Lord?"
Shuxin asked worriedly, "He fainted just now. Fifth Uncle's fever is so high. Why didn't you send him to the hospital?"
Song Li looked worried and helpless. "I've already asked the doctor to take a look at him. He's also taken some fever medicine, but it's useless. The Fifth Lord is suffering from a psychological problem."
"A psychological problem?" Shuxin was puzzled.
Song Li nodded. He thought for a moment and asked, "Does Miss Shu know how The Fifth Lord lost his sight?"
"Yeah, Fifth Uncle told me before. It was during a special operation. A bomb exploded and his head hit a rock. There was a blood clot in his head, which pressed on his visual nerves and caused him to lose his sight."
Song Li was surprised for a moment, but he quickly understood. If Huo Yanqing could return to the army to face his past for Shuxin's sake, then it wouldn't be strange for him to tell Shuxin this secret.
"The Fifth Lord joined the army at the age of eighteen. He participated in many national anti-terrorist operations and made a lot of contributions." A look of admiration appeared on Song Li's face. "He trained with the old chief, the second master, and the fourth master in the army. Their relationship is not only that of family, but also that of comrades. It can be said that the army is the place where the fifth master grew up. It means a lot to him.
During that special operation, the old chief, Second Master, and Fourth Master had been blown up into nothingness. At that time, the Fifth Master was only 23 years old. At that age, he had experienced such a bloody scene, which left an indelible mark in his life. Even the Fifth Master, who was as calm as a mountain, was haunted by nightmares every night. Insomnia and headaches became a common occurrence.
It's been five years, and The Fifth Lord has never returned to the army, because returning here means that he has to face the past all over again, which is equivalent to tearing open the scars deep in his heart again. "
As Shuxin listened to Song Li talk about Huo Yanqing's past, her heart clenched in pain, and a wave of heat rose from her chest to her eyes. She didn't want to reveal her emotions, so she tilted her head slightly and forced her tears back. After a few seconds, she asked, "So The Fifth Lord's headache and fever are because he went to the army today?"
"Yes." Song Li nodded. "The Fifth Lord's headache acted up after he left the army today. When he returned to the hotel, he started running a fever. The doctors couldn't do anything about it. Before coming to the police station, The Fifth Lord didn't sleep well and woke up many times."
Shuxin was so anxious that she was sweating. "Then what should we do? Were they going to let Fifth Uncle have a fever like this? He fainted just now. If this continues, he will die. "
Song Li was at his wit's end. "The Fifth Lord has never been like this before. I don't know what to do either. The doctor said that we can try lowering his temperature physically, but The Fifth Lord has never liked people getting close to him. There's nothing I can do about it. "
Shuxin was slightly stunned. He didn't like people getting close to him? Why didn't he feel repulsed every time she got close to him?
At this thought, Shuxin blurted out, "Let me try."
"Okay." Song Li had been waiting for Shuxin to say that. "Let's go back to the hotel first. The Fifth Lord's fever is very bad. We can't delay any longer."
Shuxin realized what she had said and wanted to bite off her tongue, but she couldn't take back what she had said. She could only bite the bullet and walk to the car with Song Li.
Shuxin got into the car. Huo Yanqing's deep voice sounded. "Why are you back?"
