He was always on guard and looked at him with a cold expression, wanting to see what he could say.
Captain Li took two steps forward, and Xie Mingchen followed with a smile.
Captain Li stopped only after the two men had walked some distance.
"There's no one here. Just say whatever you want to say."
Xie Mingchen turned his head and looked around, making sure that no one could hear them before speaking.
"I went to the hospital yesterday to see Captain Cai's attending physician. He said that although the operation was successful, the current condition of Captain Cai is not optimistic."
Captain Li had already known about what Xie Mingchen said.
After listening to this, he frowned unhappily and said impatiently.
"Is that all you know? Is there anything else you want to say?"
Captain Li acted as if he was ready to leave at any moment and seemed very impatient with him.
Xie Mingchen's heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to hide anything now and told everything he knew.
"The doctor said that if we could notify Captain Cai's relatives and have them take care of him personally, it would be beneficial to his recovery."
Xie Mingchen said this hurriedly. He thought Captain Li would praise him for it, but he didn't expect that his face would turn cold instantly.
"Xie Mingchen, when you say something like that, I doubt you have a brain!"
"Why? This is what the doctor said. Is there something wrong with it?"
Xie Mingchen was startled and then took two steps back.
"Xie Mingchen, you probably don't know that Captain Cai lost both his parents and is now alone, right?"
"Many people in the army know about this matter. With your rank, you shouldn't be unaware of even this little information."
"When you say something like that, it makes me think you're really unreliable!"
Xie Mingchen didn't expect this to happen. He stood there in a daze, speechless.
"I really don't know."
"But I really want to atone for this matter. How about letting me take care of Captain Cai myself?"
Xie Mingchen was really at his wit's end and could only think of this trick.
He knew that his sins were serious and that he would be severely punished.
But if he does nothing, he will feel very uncomfortable.
He must do something for his future and must not just sit there and wait for death.
"Oh, I think you should just forget it. If it weren't for you, Captain Cai wouldn't have been so badly injured. If it weren't for you, so many soldiers wouldn't be missing limbs."
"I asked you to take care of Captain Cai. He might have been able to hold on, but you ended up hurting him terribly."
Captain Li rejected him directly and his rejection was very thorough.
He didn't give Xie Mingchen any face at all, making him feel embarrassed and ashamed.
"But, Captain Cai has no family, and he can't do without someone to take care of him personally."
"Although I made a mistake on this mission, you can't completely deny me for that, right?"
"I just made a mistake. I promise it won't happen again next time. Just give me a chance, and I will take good care of Chief Cai and make sure he recovers!"
Xie Mingchen still refused to give up. Captain Li looked at him coldly and felt a little hesitant.
At this moment, communications soldier Xu Yuanchun suddenly ran over.
"Captain Li, there's a call for you. It's from the hospital, regarding Captain Cai."
Upon hearing this, Captain Li immediately left Xie Mingchen behind and ran away.
"What's new at the hospital?"
Xu Yuanchun trotted behind Captain Li and reported the situation quickly.
"I heard that Captain Cai woke up once after the operation, and he kept calling out someone's name."
"Captain Cai is calling someone's name?"
Captain Li frowned at the time. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out who in this world Captain Cai was obsessed with.
Logically speaking, Captain Cai's parents have passed away and he is still unmarried at such an old age, so he should have no worries.
