It would have been better if Jiang Nian hadn't explained. As soon as he finished speaking, the four of them, including He Chenguang, looked at him with not only shock but also a hint of fear.
If Jiang Nian's guess is true, then are the few of them still alive and able to leave the military factory?
Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing.
And most importantly, only five of them entered the military factory. Even if Jiang Nian was strong enough to take on a hundred people single-handedly, his flesh and blood body couldn't withstand the overwhelming force of the weapons!
This is no ordinary place; it's a military factory—and for Wang Ba's men, if they really wanted to take action, they would never lack weapons.
"Comrade Jiang Nian, if your guess is correct, shouldn't we immediately evacuate from here and report the situation to our superiors?"
He Chenguang frowned, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Jiang Nian.
Before the mission, Fan Tianlei specifically called He Chenguang and the others aside and gave them a strict order—no matter what happens, Jiang Nian's safety must be the top priority.
If Jiang Nian were to have an accident at this military factory, He Chenguang and the others would have no face to go back and report.
"No rush. Wang Ba's life is still in my hands. As his public representative, as long as the person behind him doesn't want to show his face, Wang Ba has a reason to live. So we still have leverage."
Jiang Nian understood He Chenguang's concerns, but acted as if she didn't care at all, and simply explained earnestly.
There are too many twists and turns involved, and He Chenguang and his team are already a bit confused.
This matter is clearly not so simple now, and the five of them alone cannot solve it. But since Jiang Nian has said so, He Chenguang and the others have no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling they are.
There was no other choice but to do as Jiang Nian said.
"I'll handle the communication with the leadership; you don't need to worry about it. Until then, all you need to do is protect yourselves, that's all."
After saying that last sentence, Jiang Nian stood up, walked to the door of the lounge, and pulled it open.
In the room, Zhou Zhou sat on the bed and Wang Ba stood beside him, back to back.
Jiang Nian couldn't discern their current emotions, nor could she guess what they had discussed earlier.
"The military factory is temporarily closed for the time being. Mr. Wang, shall we leave here first?"
Jiang Nian looked at Wang Ba and said with a serious expression.
Wang Ba was sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to Jiang Nian.
His body seemed to be trembling slightly. Upon hearing Jiang Nian's words, he almost instantly turned around, stood up from the bed, and walked to Jiang Nian.
"Alright, Comrade Jiang Nian, let's go now!"
Although Wang Ba was the owner of this military factory, the urgency he showed when he said this seemed to be sending another signal to Jiang Nian—Wang Ba was also eager to escape this place at this moment.
“Zhou Zhou, I’m leaving the military factory with Comrade Jiang Nian, so I’ll be leaving this place to you. You know, Comrade Jiang Nian is a member of the military, so you need to know how to handle certain things.”
Before leaving, Wang Ba turned his back to Zhou Zhou and said the following words.
Zhou Zhou pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She just stood by the steel door and silently watched Wang Ba leave with Jiang Nian and the other four.
The steel door closed behind him. After leaving the room, Wang Ba leaned against the wall, his body feeling weak.
He didn't look at Jiang Nian, or anyone else. He just slowly squatted down against the wall, lowered his head, and pondered for a long time.
Jiang Nian didn't say anything about Wang Ba's unusual behavior; he just stood aside and waited quietly.
It took Wang Ba a while to calm down. He stood up and walked out of the crematorium without saying a word.
After Jiang Nian and his group entered the crematorium early in the morning, Wei Zixuan and his men stood by in the vicinity at all times.
Wei Zixuan only breathed a sigh of relief after Wang Ba and Jiang Nian's car had descended the mountain.
At least Jiang Nian's safety is guaranteed.
However, Wei Zixuan was a little puzzled: from morning until now, quite a few people have come out of the crematorium. He had already sent people to check on a few unfamiliar faces, but the others were all family members who came to cremate the remains, nothing special.
Crematoriums are taboo places, and Wei Zixuan's surveillance system couldn't cover everything that happened inside.
Wei Zixuan had no idea what Jiang Nian and his group's actions were.
Seeing that Jiang Nian didn't seem to be giving him any instructions, Wei Zixuan was a little puzzled.
After thinking it over, he decided to drive back with Jiang Nian and the others, while leaving someone to keep watch around the crematorium so as not to miss any important clues.
Back at his lodgings, Wang Ba didn't say a word and went straight to the room he had stayed in before.
The moment he stepped into the room, with his back to everyone, he suddenly spoke to Jiang Nian.
"Comrade Jiang Nian, if I tell you everything you want to know, can you really guarantee my safety?"
After saying this, Wang Ba fell silent again, pushed open the door and went inside, seemingly unconcerned whether Jiang Nian would answer his question.
"Jiang Nian, what does Wang Ba mean by that?"
It wasn't until Wang Ba's door closed that He Chenguang and the others reacted and all looked at Jiang Nian to ask.
"I don't know the specifics either; we can only wait for Wang Ba to speak for himself."
Jiang Nian shook his head; this time, he really couldn't answer He Chenguang's question. He himself couldn't understand why Wang Ba would suddenly blurt out such a thing.
After thinking it over, the only possibility is that when I was talking to Wang Yanbing and the others, Zhou Zhou and Wang Ba in the lounge were also discussing something.
Jiang Nian sat on the sofa, her fingers tapping lightly on the table.
My mind started racing.
The military factory is right there. Even if Zhou Zhou and his group are on guard, they can't just move it away like that. Besides, Wei Zixuan and his men have already kept a close watch on the area around the crematorium. Even if Zhou Zhou wanted to take something with him, it wouldn't be so easy for him to get away.
Suddenly, Jiang Nian remembered something and immediately took out her phone to dial a number.
The call was connected very quickly.
"Captain Long, I'm sending you the location. Send a few people to keep an eye on this place. Notify me immediately if there's any disturbance."
When Long Baichuan received Jiang Nian's call, he thought Jiang Nian had completed his mission and was planning to come and visit them.
The first thing he did was give him a task.
Although Long Baichuan was stunned for a moment, his duty as a soldier made him subconsciously agree.
"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
After hesitating for a moment, Long Baichuan lowered his voice and asked, "Comrade Jiang Nian, the place you're keeping an eye on this time isn't the high seas, is it? We can't get involved in that area!"
Although he agreed to Jiang Nian's request, he still needed to ask about the things he should know first. He couldn't let this matter cause any major trouble, or it would be a real problem.
"It's not in international waters, it's just a mountain behind the border town. That mountain is right next to the sea, so it'll be easier for you to move around at sea. Keep an eye on things over there for me. I'll explain everything else to you later."
Jiang Nian didn't explain much to Long Baichuan. His situation was far more complicated than even Fan Tianlei's, let alone Long Baichuan's.
Hearing that Jiang Nian would explain later, Long Baichuan stopped asking questions.
With everything arranged, Jiang Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Ba remained in his room and didn't come out. When it was time for dinner, He Chenguang knocked on the door, but no one answered.
The group sensed something was wrong and called out a few more times, but there was still no response. Finally, they simply kicked the door open.
On the bed, Wang Ba lay quietly, as if asleep.
Jiang Nian was relieved to find that he was still breathing—at least for now, Wang Ba couldn't die.
Although Wang Ba did not die, he seemed to have fallen into a strange state, lying in a coma and unable to be woken up no matter how much he was called.
Jiang Nian tried all sorts of methods, even taking out silver needles and sticking them back and forth on several acupoints, but Wang Ba didn't react at all.
"It seems that Wang Ba still fell victim to the virus during the time he was alone with Zhou Zhou."
Jiang Nian stroked his chin and came to a conclusion.
It was carelessness that led to this situation.
Jiang Nian regretted that he should have had the system keep an eye on Zhou Zhou and Wang Ba's situation while they were in the military factory.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out like this.
When Jiang Nian discovered Wang Ba was unconscious, he had already started calling the system.
In this situation, he felt that only the system could wake Wang Ba up quickly.
But at this critical juncture, the system pretended to be dead again.
No matter how Jiang Nian called out to it, it didn't respond at all.
With no other option, Jiang Nian could only take Wang Ba to the hospital first.
No matter what, people must never die.
Wei Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Jiang Nian and the others had returned to their residence. He didn't go upstairs but drove directly to the crematorium.
After all, we still need to keep a close eye on the situation here and can't let our guard down at all.
There's a huge military factory hidden inside!
Just as things were settled here, Wei Zixuan was about to call Jiang Nian to ask about the situation when he suddenly received news: Wang Ba had been sent to the hospital.
"Holy crap, could it be that Jiang Nian finally lost his temper and attacked Wang Ba?"
For a fleeting moment, the thought crossed Wei Zixuan's mind. But he quickly shook his head, banishing the idea from his thoughts.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian would never do such a thing. There must be another reason.
But he remembered that when Wang Ba and Jiang Nian came out of the crematorium, they were perfectly fine.
Could it be that something happened to Jiang Nian when I left?
Worried that Jiang Nian and the others might also get into trouble, Wei Zixuan didn't have time to think and stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, rushing to the hospital.
When Wei Zixuan arrived at the hospital, he saw Jiang Nian and the other four people pacing back and forth outside the operating room.
However, seeing that Jiang Nian and the others were alright, Wei Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The sound of leather shoes on the floor was particularly clear, and Jiang Nian immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the person coming.
Upon seeing that it was Wei Zixuan, he frowned.
"Shouldn't you be at the crematorium? What are you doing at the hospital?"
Jiang Nian's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
In any case, Wei Zixuan shouldn't be at the hospital right now.
"I received news that Wang Ba has been taken to the hospital and even entered the emergency room. What exactly happened? How is Wang Ba now? What did the doctor say?"
The operating room lights were still on. Wei Zixuan had no idea what was going on inside, so he could only ask Jiang Nian to find out what had happened.
As for Jiang Nian's question, he pretended not to hear it.
“We were caught in the trap at the military factory. I didn’t pay attention to Wang Ba’s condition. When I came back, he went straight into his room. I didn’t realize something was wrong until it was time to eat. When I broke down the door, he was already unconscious.”
Jiang Nian was indeed not very satisfied that Wei Zixuan did not answer her question, but she understood his mood at the moment, so she patiently explained.
"We've tried everything, but we just can't wake him up. Now we can only hope the doctors can help."
After quickly recounting what had happened, Jiang Nian's gaze returned to the emergency light shining in the operating room.
It has been more than two hours since Wang Ba was pushed in.
Jiang Nian was certain that even if Wang Ba had taken his poison, his life should be safe. But Jiang Nian couldn't guarantee his current condition.
"I've already made arrangements at the crematorium. I'll stay here with you and wait for you. Wang Ba's life can't be compromised."
Wei Zixuan remained silent for a while before saying this.
Regardless of whether Wang Ba's identity as an arms dealer has been exposed, he is still a fugitive drug lord. Wei Zixuan has an obligation to ensure his safety, and at the very least, he must bring him back to the police station for a final interrogation.
Sentencing and other procedures must be followed without exception.
It would be such a pity if Wang Ba really died like this.
Jiang Nian didn't say much to Wei Zixuan's words, just nodded, and her gaze returned to the light in the emergency room.
More than an hour later, a doctor finally came out of the operating room.
"The patient's condition is rather unusual; he is currently in a deep sleep. We have conducted a comprehensive examination, and no problems were found in any part of his body. However, there are too many possibilities that could cause a coma, and we cannot give you a definitive answer at this time."
The doctor explained Wang Ba's condition to Jiang Nian and the others with some difficulty.
To be honest, this was the first time he'd ever encountered something like this. Someone was perfectly fine, and then suddenly they were unconscious—something was definitely wrong. They'd tried everything in the emergency room, but they just couldn't wake them up.
The doctor even suspected that the patient might have become a vegetable.
But of course, these words couldn't be said in front of Jiang Nian and the others.
"Doctor, how long will it take for him to wake up?"
Wei Zixuan rushed forward and asked the question eagerly.
Upon seeing Wei Zixuan's clothes, the doctor's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became even more serious.
"Officer, I'm really sorry. We really can't give you a precise answer as to when the patient will wake up. He might wake up soon, or he might never wake up. I suggest you prepare yourselves mentally, as the patient's condition is very similar to that of a person in a vegetative state. If he really doesn't wake up, we'll have to transfer him to another ward."
The doctor's explanation made Wei Zixuan's face turn ugly.
He didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to indicate that the doctor could leave.
"You few stay in the border town and keep an eye on the crematorium. Since we, as military personnel, have been present at the military factory, Zhou Zhou will be somewhat wary. I'll contact my superiors immediately to send a car to transfer Wang Ba to the military hospital; I'm not comfortable leaving him here. I'm going back to the military region; I have some things to report to my superiors. We'll contact each other anytime if anything comes up." (End of Chapter)
