Chapter 21

  As the plane roared, we had arrived above the airport next to the station. Looking down from the porthole, there were many people below, as if waiting for something.

  "Hey!! Are there any officials coming to inspect today?" The roar of the plane was very loud, and he could only shout loudly at the company commander sitting next to him, so that he could hear his voice.

  "No way!!" He also shouted back in a loud voice, "Is it because the weather is good today that everyone ran out to sunbathe?" The puzzled self asked a question in his heart, but today was overcast, where could there be sunshine to bask in......

  I didn't say anything else, but quietly waited for the plane to land. Now, from the porthole window, I saw that among those people, there was someone who seemed to be Shan Xiong, but it wasn't very clear. However, now I'm a bit afraid of seeing him, after all, the gun butt back then wasn't light...

  "You bastard, how dare you leave me behind." As the plane stabilized, I was supported by someone and became the first to exit the cabin. Immediately after, Mountain Bear's fist enlarged before my eyes. With a loud crash, I was smashed back into the cabin, also bringing down the soldier who was supporting me. Before the stars in my eyes had even dissipated, a deafening roar came from outside the cabin - Mountain Bear's furious bellow. "I knew it would end up like this, and yet I still stupidly hoped he wouldn't hit me with at least one punch." I thought to myself, smiling wryly as I spoke.

  "You idiot, can't you see he's injured? Quickly hold him down." The mountain didn't charge in as expected, and with a woman's voice, he should have been held back. 'Who is this woman?'

  "Let me go, you woman! Tell the person who called you to let me go, so I can go in and give that bastard a good punch. He dared to leave my brother behind, alone, he should be prepared for this. Let me go, or I'll hit you too!!" 'Gao Lan Xin...' heard Shan Xiong's words, sat on the floor of the cabin, couldn't help but smile bitterly, didn't expect that she would also come, now it's going to be interesting.

  "You woman, I'll beat you up today along with him. Previously, there was someone protecting you, but these past few days, he hasn't been seen anywhere. First, let's take care of your dog and then we'll talk." As the voice from outside continued to get closer, it slowly moved next to the porthole where he was standing, just in time to see bodyguard A being knocked flying again while holding onto his arm, "Being a bodyguard for that woman is not an ordinary kind of bad luck..."

  With a wry smile, I turned back to see that no one had left the cabin. What I saw was pair after pair of puzzled eyes staring at me, and all I could give them in return was a bitter smile. 'Were you scared?'

  "Falcon... there's something I'm wondering about, but I don't know if I should ask?" The bewildered Lieutenant Ren was pushed forward by the other puzzled soldiers to ask himself this question.

  "Say it, what's your question?" The person being asked was puzzled and could only respond with these words.

  "Aren't you and Li Paizhang brothers?"

  "Indeed, brothers who have exchanged lives."

  "Didn't you stay behind to cover for him?"

  "Ah, yeah!" 'You're troubled or not, if you have a question, ask quickly.' His inquiry made him even more puzzled in his heart, and he could only give him such a look.

  "I... I was wondering, why did he beat you up as soon as he saw you?" The real question finally came, and upon hearing it, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of bitter smile from the corner of his mouth.

  "This is probably his way of showing excitement......" I, who was asked and felt extremely embarrassed, could only answer his question with this non-answer.

  "Oh, I see. Let's go down. He probably won't show us his excitement, right?" Upon hearing his next question, he felt a sense of powerlessness, really powerless.

  "It's okay, you guys go down, but remember to keep a distance from him, he's about to get excited and lose his mind." After glancing at the situation outside again, Mountain Bear had already knocked down 2 bodyguards and would be charging in within minutes. "Hopefully, by then, he'll be exhausted." The weak self was thrown to Lian Zhang, who was also crouching on one side, a reassuring answer, and then began praying silently.

  "Oh, then let's go down first, we still need to report, we'll go ahead, you be careful." Still worried about his company commander, he could only give himself this comforting answer, and then led his men to quickly get off the plane and run away. "Why hasn't the captain come yet, good job stopping Mountain Bear." Weakly, he began to pray in his heart again. Just as he was praying, he saw that the captain who had been affected by the fight between him and Mountain Bear at the time was now standing far away...

  Having lost all hope, I resigned myself to slowly exiting the cockpit. "Wait a minute, it can't be like this!!" Just as my foot was about to leave the cockpit, a sudden idea flashed through my mind - at least for now, I could get by. Finally finding a straw to cling to, I had no choice but to follow my heart's desire. "Brother, I'm sorry again."

  "Damn it, you bastard! You finally dare to come out! Leaving my brother behind and staying here yourself, well done!!! Seeing the mountain bear coming out, he exerted his strength and flung away the last bodyguard who was holding onto his arm, freeing himself from the restraints and rushing towards him with large strides."

  "Mountain bear....." Seeing the mountain bear rushing over, his palms were already sweating. When facing an enemy, he had never been like this before. 'After all, he didn't want to take a punch from him.' While explaining to himself in his heart, his mouth also let out a low humming sound, although it was very quiet, but the mountain bear could definitely hear it.

  "You damn bastard, how dare you call my name!!" The mountain bear was already rushing towards him, its massive roar also ringing in his ears.

  With a thud... I was already kneeling on the ground, and in front of me was the mountain bear's body rushing over. "I'm so tired......the sky is so dark....." It was still a murmuring voice, but it had completely stopped the mountain bear's footsteps. Then, two hands were placed on my shoulders, pretending to be struggling, and I lifted my head to see the mountain bear's concerned eyes. "Brother, don't scare me, brother was just scaring you!!" The mountain bear's apologetic words also reached my ears.

  Hearing the concerned voice of Shan Xiong, he only felt that his heart was filled with guilt. However, he still had to continue pretending, because if Shan Xiong found out, he would definitely be punched in the head and hung on a propeller. "Sorry, brother..." He only managed to say this one sentence before directly collapsing onto Shan Xiong's body.

  "Brother, I'm not blaming you, don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep, talk to me. You know how worried I've been about you these past few days, hurry up and get up." The mountain bear tried his best to prop himself up, but he still hung limply on his shoulder.

  "Damn it, doctor! Doctor~~~~~ come quickly and see what's wrong with my brother!" Shan Xiong yelled loudly at the frightened doctor. Then, he picked me up horizontally and put me on the stretcher that had just been pushed over. With the shaking, I was already moved into the ambulance.

  "Easy does it, easy does it." The mountain bear was directing the people lifting me on one side, taking care to move himself lightly.

  "Welcome to the meeting, it's over... Oh, Ouyang, don't blame me for doing this, you wouldn't want to see me get beaten up either, right?' I lamented in my heart, and then apologized to Ouyang and explained the reason, so she won't blame me. As the car shook, my exhausted self slowly fell asleep..."

  As the morning sunlight, waking up from sleep, slowly opened his eyes, what he saw was a nurse running out quickly, and a bear, with a medic in military uniform sitting next to him, feeling very familiar.

  "Brother, you're awake. I'm sorry to have left you behind alone. You've come back, and yet I still want to beat you up... Sorry..." As the bear-like man's apologetic voice sounded, the person lying down focused their gaze on his face. What they saw was a tired face with an unshaven beard that made him look even older, and eyes filled with bloodshot veins. "He must have been worried about me ever since I came back, and didn't even sleep well." For some reason, this thought warmed his heart...

  She gently shook her head, using her eyes to stop him from continuing, and lightly raised her hand to brush aside his collar. What she saw was the same large patch of purple and blue where she had hit him before. "I'm the one who should be saying sorry, I hit you so hard. It must have hurt a lot?"

  The mountain bear was also shaking his head hard, "It doesn't hurt, not at all. It's just that I feel you shouldn't have stayed behind. I've already promised Xiaofeng to take good care of you. But I'm sorry for what I said to Xiaofeng."

  "Idiot, Ouyang won't blame you either~ I'm not staying behind, do you want a wounded guy like you to cover our retreat?! You want me to regret this for the rest of my life?!"

  "But..." The mountain bear wanted to speak, but was immediately interrupted by his own words.

  "But what if there were so many reasons, I'll ask you a question, if I hadn't knocked you out at that time, what would you have done?"

  "Knock you out and then I'll leave."

  "Are you staying? What are the chances of surviving another sniper's bullet and what are the chances of coming back?"

  The mountain bear fell silent and didn't say another word. "Not at all, you think I'd ask you to stay?" The mountain bear shook its head.

  "And at that time, the situation was such that one of us would definitely stay behind. You also said it, if I didn't knock you out, you would have knocked me out instead! Where are all these words coming from? We're brothers, sworn brothers!"

  "Right, we are brothers who have exchanged lives." Mountain Bear loudly repeated my words, and he already knew in his heart that he would no longer feel guilty.

  "And besides, you saved me once before, now we're even." He laughed and joked with Shan Xiong.

  "Hey you!" Along with the voice, a massive bear paw slapped against my chest, causing me to start coughing.

  "You're fine, look at me, clumsy hands and feet." It was the mountain bear who found his heavy hand at that time, apologetic words, he shook his head lightly, telling him, I'm fine.

  "Have you brought cigarettes? I haven't had a smoke in days and I'm about to suffocate."

  "Uh..." Before the mountain bear could finish his sentence, a guy who had been silent all along interrupted him.

  "But there is oxygen..."

  "It's so painful to have it inserted in my nose." She pulled out the oxygen tube that was inserted into her nose and then asked them to turn off the oxygen. The nurse didn't say anything else, but stood up, reached out and turned off the valve on the oxygen tank.

  Puffing on the cigarette in his mouth, he casually gave the mountain bear a "you little devil, you're impressive" look. Next, the mountain bear, embarrassed by his own gaze, hurriedly began to explain "Let me introduce her to you, she is..."

  The mountain bear's words were cut off by the sudden sound of the door opening, "Dead woman!!!!" This was the mountain bear's voice. "Gao Lan Xin..." He also looked towards the direction of the door and said the name of the person who came in...
