Chapter 149 Awareness
Xia Zhi nodded and went with Lu Beiting to the rest room prepared by the hospital.

As soon as she sat down, a glass of warm water was handed to her.

Looking at Lu Beiting's tense expression, she couldn't tell for a moment whether she was pregnant or he was pregnant.

He was even more nervous than I was.

"Lu Beiting, why are you even more nervous than me?" Xia Zhi smiled, leaned closer, and looked at him with a smile in her eyes, her tone teasing.

Lu Beiting took a deep breath, sat down properly next to her, and said with a serious expression, "I don't know either, I'm just nervous. Like when you were drinking water just now, I was afraid you would choke to death."

Xia Zhi's smile vanished instantly, and she was speechless. "This is an illness of yours, and it needs treatment."

Lu Beiting lowered his head, tacitly agreeing with her statement.

Xia Zhi held his hand and said gently, "Lu Beiting, I'm also looking forward to our child, just like you, so I won't joke around with my health. If there's a problem, I'll definitely be more anxious than you, so don't worry too much, okay?"

Lu Beiting lowered his eyes and gave a muffled "hmm".

But after realizing what she meant, he couldn't help but feel happy, and a smile of happiness appeared on his face.

After Xia Zhi provided Lu Beiting with psychological counseling for a while, the two left the lounge.

When Zhao Fudong woke up, he was still not in good condition.

When his family saw Xia Zhi, they rushed forward and grabbed her hand, their voices trembling slightly: "Dr. Xia, thank you so much, thank you so much."

Zhao Fudong's wife held her hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.

"You're too kind, it's what I should do," Xia Zhi said softly, trying to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, sister-in-law, why are you crying? This is a good thing. Don't get too excited. Take care of yourself. Xia has been tired all morning. Let her go back and rest first."

Shen Changming stepped forward, comforting Zhao Fudong's family while telling the two to go home first.

Lu Beiting brought Xia Zhi back to the Shen family home, and as soon as they entered, they saw Chen Yao, who had arrived at some unknown time.

"Beiting, sister-in-law, I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. I've already disciplined Xiaomi. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please don't mind it." Chen Yao said, and the people around him quickly handed over the gift.

The gift was beautifully wrapped and tied with a pretty ribbon; it was clear that a lot of thought and effort had been put into it.

Lu Beiting accepted it and said politely, "Commander Chen, you're too kind. You've come today..."

"Oh, I originally came to visit Minister Shen today and apologize to you and your sister-in-law, but when I got here I found out you were at the hospital," Chen Yao explained, his face apologetic.

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Lu Beiting, "Sister-in-law, may I borrow Beiting for a moment?"

"Mmm." Xia Zhi nodded.

Chen Yao led Lu Beiting to the car at the door.

As soon as he got into the car, Chen Yao's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Beiting, you guys need to be careful lately."

As she spoke, she handed him the information she had gathered from the search.

The information paper was yellowed and covered with dense writing.

Lu Beiting took a look, his brows furrowed instantly, and his tone was somewhat dissatisfied, his voice low: "Your management is terrible."

Chen Yao looked out the window with worry and sighed helplessly: "We've already strengthened our defenses, but as the saying goes, you can guard against anything, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own household. Sigh."

Lu Beiting pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. He handed the things back to him and said, "I understand. I'll take care of it recently. I'll ask Zhang Yi and the others to keep an eye on things."

"Okay, contact me anytime if you have any news." Chen Yao patted him on the shoulder.

Then, Chen Yao lit a cigarette in his hand, squinted at him, and said, "Beiting, are you still planning to defend the border?"

Lu Beiting unusually did not answer him immediately.

In the past, he would have said without hesitation that he would spend his whole life on the border.

But now... he has a wife and children.

Lu Beiting thought of Xia Zhi, his face softened, and he slowly said, "I used to think that I didn't care about fame or stipends because I was alone. But now it's different. I have to support my family."

I can't let my wife suffer because of me, so I have to keep up and not embarrass her."

"If only you had figured this out sooner, you would probably be in Beijing by now, just like the guards."

Chen Yao had mentioned before that it was a real pity to keep such a promising talent like Lu Beiting confined to a border region.

Upon hearing this, Lu Beiting gently shook his head, a happy smile on his face: "In that case, I wouldn't be able to meet Xiaxia."

Lu Beiting felt an itch to touch her whenever he thought about how Xia Zhi almost married Gu Yunshen.

Chen Yao was speechless, choked by his words.

He waved his hand speechlessly, "Alright, alright, go back, go back and hug your wife."

Just as Chen Yao finished speaking, a loud slamming sound was heard as the door slammed shut. Then, Lu Beiting walked towards the Shen family's house without looking back.

"Tsk, I have a wife too, but I'm not like him now."

Chen Yao muttered something to himself, then looked at Hua Sheng driving in front and said, "Alright, let's go back."

The car slowly started and disappeared at the end of the street.

When Lu Beiting returned, he saw Xia Zhi and Yu Qing chatting happily.

He didn't make a sound to disturb her, but simply sat quietly to one side, watching Xia Zhi silently.

Over the next few days, Xia Zhi was busy at the hospital and the Shen family's residence, surrounded by people.

in the corner.

"Battalion Commander, there are indeed some people behaving strangely around here, quite a few of them."

"From what I understand, they all appeared on our second day in the city. These people are probably after us, and may be in cahoots with Li Baozhu and her group."

Zhang Yi reported to Lu Beiting with a serious expression.

Lu Beiting pinched the bridge of his nose, a look of fatigue and helplessness on his face: "Li Baozhu is a tough nut to crack. She always manages to find a way to slip away."

He paused here, then asked, "Zhang Yi, what's the situation with Li Baozhu and her group that they reported to the higher-ups?"

"Battalion Commander, we reported the truth the first time we caught them."

Lu Beiting straightened up, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Here's what we'll do: Zhang Yi, you take some men and quietly check out the defensive line where Li Baozhu escaped last time. Remember, you must do it quietly, and don't alert her."

"Yes, Battalion Commander."

"Wait, let's find someone else. You don't need to go. Let someone else go."

Lu Beiting suddenly changed his mind.

……

In a dimly lit room in a small corner of the city.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Jiang Wencheng flew into a rage.

He suddenly stood up, and with a forceful swing of his hands, swept everything on the table to the ground, making a series of crashing sounds.

The room was instantly a mess.

"Damn it, it's only been a few days, and Lu Beiting has already noticed?"
"A bunch of idiots! I told you to be careful, but you still acted so openly!" Jiang Wencheng was so angry that his face turned red and the veins on his forehead bulged.

The plan had started smoothly, but now it had turned into a situation where the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light, which made him furious.
