Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 981: Chapter 892: Defending Our Rivers and Mountains 22

When Liu Junye first noticed he was feeling unwell, he wasn’t yet gravely ill. But with treatment from numerous renowned doctors, his condition worsened, and he eventually became comatose.

If Liu Junye hadn’t still been breathing, Commander Liu would have gone mad and arrested all the doctors who treated his son, shooting them one by one for being damn quacks.

Shuangshuang was the only one who made Liu Junye feel lighter and sense improvement after falling ill, so Liu Junye felt deep gratitude toward her.

However, Liu Junye knew Shuangshuang was the daughter-in-law of Marshal Du from H City and a married woman, so to avoid causing her trouble, he refrained from conversing with her much beyond necessary medical inquiries.

Behind the scenes, Liu Junye specifically instructed his servants to ensure Shuangshuang was well taken care of, comfortable in her accommodations, and experiencing no discomfort, even ensuring her stay was better than at the Du Family’s.

Liu Junye’s recovery progressed surprisingly fast; after five days of Shuangshuang’s treatment, he could rise from bed and stroll around the courtyard despite being initially weak and bedridden.

Even Liu Junye’s face, once pale and thin from being unable to eat, gained a healthier glow and filled out, making him appear more handsome. Previously, his sharp features inherited from his father made him look less appealing due to his haggard state.

Now, after Shuangshuang’s treatment, Liu Junye could eat, his body put on some weight, and he looked handsome once again.

Commander Liu was thrilled with his son’s evident recovery and repeatedly expressed gratitude to Shuangshuang, even having traitors who fled from Du Zongze’s side and defected to him, tied up, and sent over as a form of thanks.

Shuangshuang instructed the guards to confine these traitors in an empty room, providing basic food and water, preventing escape efforts since Du Zongze would likely have them killed.

These traitors weren’t good people either; they leaked Du Zongze’s secrets and killed non-betraying comrades to prevent them from alerting others, staining their hands with their comrades’ blood, making death an unworthy fate.

On the tenth day of Shuangshuang’s treatment, Liu Junye appeared mostly recovered except for still being somewhat thin, but his complexion greatly improved, making Commander Liu delight daily, appearing less daunting.

Commander Liu’s happiness led to even more luxurious treatment for Shuangshuang; clothing, jewelry, and accessories boxed up and presented to her in abundance, all as expressions of gratitude.

Not only Commander Liu but Lady Liu, Liu Junye’s mother, also repeatedly thanked Shuangshuang, knowing her fondness for good food, arranging lavish meals for her daily.

Shuangshuang’s dining table would be laden with nearly a hundred dishes, an intimidating feast of various delicacies, fortunately, shareable among Shuangshuang’s ample guards, preventing waste.

Due to the sumptuous diet, after every meal, Shuangshuang would meditate extensively to avoid weight gain. During this period, Liu Junye grew familiar with Shuangshuang, occasionally discussing outside matters and chatting, but not often.

Another day passed, and after a lavish dinner, Shuangshuang sat meditating in her room, but midway through the night, a heavy thud from the wall outside caught her attention, indicating someone clumsily jumped into the courtyard.

The sound abruptly roused Shuangshuang, prompting her to step swiftly to the door, ears alert. Two pairs of footsteps—one heavy and chaotic, likely an injured male, the other lighter but heavily breathing, indicating a woman—approached her door.

These two stumbled toward Shuangshuang’s door amid footsteps of additional people climbing over the wall, followed by a gunshot echoing far in the silent night.

The gunshot heightened the urgency in the footsteps, evidently heading straight toward her door. Shuangshuang frowned, relying on her high Combat Power, unfazed by the threat of bullets, as evasion would be impossible with the two at the door. She directly opened the door to assess the situation outside.

Upon opening the door, Shuangshuang unexpectedly encountered Du Haokun, who shouldn’t be in S City!

However, Du Haokun’s condition was dire, his clothes stained with blood at the chest, one hand clutching his chest, face pale. His arm was supported by a petite, sweet-looking girl also holding a gun.

This girl, struggling to support Du Haokun, was instantly recognized by Shuangshuang—Tian Xueli, destined to be Du Haokun’s true love, for whom he would change everything.

Seeing Shuangshuang, Du Haokun was surprised, hoarsely asking her, ”Why are you here? Where are your guards?”

Without replying, Shuangshuang glanced behind Du Haokun, swiftly raising her hand to retrieve four delicate crystal hairpins from her bun, instantly flicking them out.

As the hairpins flew out, four men in black fell from the wall, each with a hairpin piercing through their brains.

Simultaneously, Shuangshuang grasped Du Haokun’s right hand, which held a gun.

Shuangshuang took Du Haokun’s gun without hesitation, firing two shots. The ensuing gunfire dropped two nearby gunmen aiming at them, each with a bloody hole in their forehead.

Shuangshuang’s swift actions quickly brought down six foes within a breath, only then did her guards rush over, puzzled by Young Marshal Du Haokun’s unexpected presence.
