Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 990: Chapter 901: Defending Our Homeland 31

When Kou Shuangshuang left, no one knew. Early in the morning, Kou Shuangshuang had breakfast as usual and then left the Du Mansion. Everyone thought it was the usual routine, that she had gone to the church to provide free medical service.

No one expected that after leaving the Du Mansion, Kou Shuangshuang hadn’t gone to the church, but instead went straight to the train station. Holding a ticket she had booked in advance, she boarded the train and left H City to the sound of the train’s roar.

By the time someone realized Kou Shuangshuang had left the Du Mansion, it was already the day before, and the person who discovered it was Du Zongze. He had something to ask Kou Shuangshuang to do but couldn’t find her anywhere. He sent someone to search and found out that Kou Shuangshuang had been gone for a day and a night and hadn’t returned.

At first, Du Zongze didn’t take it seriously, thinking that this time the matter with Tian Xueli had been blown out of proportion, causing Kou Shuangshuang to feel upset, so she left the Du Mansion. Du Zongze figured that Kou Shuangshuang probably went back to her parents’ house.

Du Zongze wasn’t angry about this, as the issue with Tian Xueli was indeed trouble caused by his own son, and what Tian Xueli did was vile. Ruining a woman’s reputation is like forcing her to death. Moreover, his stupid son even asked Kou Shuangshuang to forgive Tian Xueli. No wonder Kou Shuangshuang was so furious.

If it were a trivial matter, and Kou Shuangshuang dared to throw a fit and run back to her parents’ home to disgrace Du Haokun, Du Zongze could have someone point a gun at Kou Shuangshuang’s head to force her back for family discipline.

But things were different now. Kou Shuangshuang wasn’t an ordinary pretty face. Besides being Du Zongze’s daughter-in-law, she was also Du Zongze’s confidant. This identity was much more important than being a daughter-in-law. Not to mention, this time it was clearly his son’s fault, and Kou Shuangshuang was always a generous person. Du Zongze found her reaction today completely understandable.

Du Zongze immediately fetched Du Haokun and scolded him severely, demanding that Du Haokun sever all ties with that troublemaker Tian Xueli. If Du Haokun refused, he wouldn’t mind dealing with Tian Xueli.

Apart from demanding Du Haokun sever ties with Tian Xueli, he also required Du Haokun to personally go to the Kou Family to bring Kou Shuangshuang back. Whether by apologizing or any other means, he had to make sure Kou Shuangshuang calmed down.

Initially, Du Haokun was a bit unhappy and frustrated, thinking that Kou Shuangshuang was making too big of a deal out of it. Though Tian Xueli was excessive, hadn’t Kou Shuangshuang retaliated, and to be fair, Tian Xueli ended up worse.

Kou Shuangshuang merely endured a few days of rumors before swiftly fighting back and gaining the sympathy and support of everyone in H City. It could be said that in this war of rumors, Kou Shuangshuang came out unscathed.

In stark contrast to Kou Shuangshuang, Tian Xueli was utterly defeated—losing her job, her reputation. If a girl with slightly poorer mental strength were in her place, she might as well have been driven to death.

Du Haokun completely forgot that if Tian Xueli hadn’t actively attacked, Kou Shuangshuang would have completely ignored her. Kou Shuangshuang had her own affairs to worry about and had no time for Tian Xueli.

After being summoned again by Du Zongze for another round of scolding, and nearly getting lashed with a belt, Du Haokun reluctantly made his way to the Kou Family to bring Kou Shuangshuang back.

Upon arriving at the Kou Family, when told that Kou Shuangshuang had not returned, Du Haokun initially thought she was just playing hard to get, unwilling to return easily, aiming to make him yield.

This made Du Haokun increasingly annoyed. For the first time, he felt that Kou Shuangshuang was being unreasonable. The more she behaved that way, the angrier he became, leaving the Kou Family with a scowl. Whether or not Kou Shuangshuang returned, he wasn’t going to fetch her. He was eager to see how she would handle the situation.

The Kou Family was also in the dark, clueless as to what was happening. Watching Du Haokun come in with a scornful face and leave with an angry expression, they had no idea what was going on. To both Father Kou and Mrs. Kou, who saw Kou Shuangshuang as a daughter indifferent to her own family since marriage, she was merely a link of interest. Beyond that, they regarded her almost like she didn’t exist.

Due to one side’s misunderstanding and the other’s indifferent neglect, by the time it was confirmed that Kou Shuangshuang wasn’t with her parents but had indeed left long ago, it had already been half a month since her departure!

When Du Haokun, filled with anger at Kou Shuangshuang for being unreasonable, learned the truth, all his rage dissipated instantly, replaced by an inexplicable panic. He began frantically searching for Kou Shuangshuang, but she had been gone too long, with no trace to be found.

Whether or not Du Haokun was searching for her was no longer relevant to Kou Shuangshuang. Half a month after leaving H City, she had already arrived at the battlefield. The war had begun, and though not yet nationwide, the fierce battles had already commenced.

At a time when the nation was in peril, Kou Shuangshuang could not change the world with her efforts alone, for she was not a God, but just an ordinary person. These days, the only thing she could do was to fight together with everyone from the beginning to the moment of victory.

The roar of gunfire ahead was constant, and the rear medical post was terribly makeshift. Kou Shuangshuang, leading a few field doctors and nurses, provided emergency treatment for the wounded warriors, all the while wary of stray bullets and sudden enemy assaults.

The roaring gunfire left Kou Shuangshuang’s ears buzzing continuously, and the rapidly changing conditions on the battlefield made her work exceedingly difficult. If not for Kou Shuangshuang’s exceptional medical skills and ability to adapt.

Plus her experience as a battlefield nurse in a past life, leading a group of novice field doctors and nurses who were dumbfounded the moment the gunfire and shouts began, Kou Shuangshuang would have been unable to conduct her rescue work smoothly.

Fortunately, those who were willing to abandon a life of comfort to come to the battlefield, and who did not retreat despite their fears, had a passionate heart. With Kou Shuangshuang’s encouragement and leadership, everyone soon adapted to the work on the battlefield.

Currently, as Kou Shuangshuang sutured a warrior’s stomach wound, the nurse beside her could maintain composure, ignoring the rumbling gunfire and shouting outside, passing surgical instruments to Kou Shuangshuang steadily.

After the battle ended, the exhausted soldiers collapsed to the ground. The doctors and nurses who had been busy rescuing behind the lines were also tired. However, once the battle concluded, although fatigued, they couldn’t rest as the busiest period began.

Kou Shuangshuang led the doctors and nurses into the gruesome battlefield after the battle ended, starting to search for surviving soldiers to rescue. The remaining strong soldiers followed with stretchers to assist in carrying severely wounded comrades who couldn’t move off the battlefield.
