Chapter 144 -144: Good or Evil?
Lu Ruisheng looked at the part where the car was stuck and asked Gu Pan and the others to drive ahead and wait. He then stayed behind with the car Feng Zhekai was in and took out a tow rope to pull the car out.
Separating the team this way also allowed for better boundary management.
After they pulled out the car, Doctor Chen kept thanking Lu Ruisheng and Feng Zhekai.
Feng Zhekai didn’t say much and then said, “We’ll go ahead then, take care.”
Doctor Chen grabbed Feng Zhekai’s arm, “Dr. Feng, can we come with you?”
Feng Zhekai flatly refused, “Sorry, our team has rules, we can’t just take people in.”
Doctor Chen then pleaded with Lu Ruisheng, “It’s really hard for us to reach the base like this, could we just follow behind you at a distance? Otherwise, I’m worried about encountering unexpected dangers on the road. We really want to get to the base, I don’t want to live a life without rules and discipline.”
Lu Ruisheng considered internally, seeing that the other person was a cardiologist, getting to know them wouldn’t be a bad thing. If they traveled together, it would be beneficial once they reached the base.
But this person’s considerations were too thorough, was his plan to follow behind something he thought of spontaneously, or was it premeditated? He wasn’t sure now.
However, he disliked unknown risks. If the other person was not a good person, then he might already be targeting him and would act sooner or later, so it might be better to keep them close, at least to be on guard.
If he was overthinking, then befriending a doctor wasn’t a bad thing.
So he thought for a moment and told Feng Zhekai, “Then you guys go ahead of us. We’ll keep some distance between us, without interfering with each other. If you run into any danger, we can still be aware of it.”
Before Feng Zhekai could speak, Doctor Chen began bowing and thanking Lu Ruisheng, “Thank you, really, thank you so much. We’ll go ahead and definitely won’t affect you, just control the distance.”
Lu Ruisheng nodded, “Alright, let’s hit the road then.”
Feng Zhekai thanked Lu Ruisheng as well, and then they each returned to their cars. Only after the other’s car had moved ahead did they continue their journey.
Lu Ruisheng mentioned the recent events to Gu Pan in their car, “I’m not certain if they are friends or foes, but I feel it’s safer to keep them in sight. If I’m overthinking this, having a doctor with us on the way to the base is still beneficial. If they are problematic, it’s good for us to start being cautious now.”
Gu Pan agreed with her husband’s words, “Indeed, having them in front of us, within our sight, feels reassuring. Let’s rest early today and then have Squad Leader Fang and Lanlan do some scouting.”
Squad Leader Fang had been training Fang Lanlan as a reconnaissance soldier because of her natural speed and sharpness, which made her very suitable for the role. This also gave Fang Lanlan an important role in Gu Pan’s team, ensuring she wouldn’t be sidelined if something happened to him one day.
Lanlan truly had talent; on several occasions she had seamlessly blended into other territories to gather information, managing to exploit her capabilities since they weren’t aggressive.
Lu Ruisheng agreed with his wife. He nodded, “I feel the same way.” After saying this, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shared his thoughts with Squad Leader Fang.
Squad Leader Fang responded energetically after hearing this, “I understand. Let’s find a place to settle early, then Lanlan and I will scout the surrounding area.”
Lu Ruisheng said, “Alright.”
After that, Gu Pan grabbed the walkie-talkie and relayed the situation to her team, asking everyone to be careful.
The atmosphere in each vehicle became tense.
Squad Leader Fang explained the importance and severity of the situation to Fang Lanlan, “Being able to travel with them is a kindness they’re showing us. In such a team, one needs to have a special skill to be valued. We must try hard today.”
“I understand, Dad. Don’t worry. I’m not much of a talker, but I know clearly in my heart. Sister Gu has been so kind to me; I also want to help them out more,” Fang Lanlan earnestly replied. She really enjoyed talking with Gu Pan, who, in private, often shared girl stuff with her and helped her step out from her past shadows, willing to socialize with everyone.
Driving, Guo Gang heard what Gu Pan said and told his wife, Zhang Xiumin, “Xiao Lu’s professional ability is still so strong, and so is his crisis awareness. Don’t worry, Squad Leader Fang is also a soldier. Our team isn’t just a loose group; our weapons are top-notch. We can stand a chance in most wars.”
Zhang Xiumin replied, “I know, but as long as it’s a war, there’s danger. There are no hospitals now, and even having doctors is still risky, so we really need to be careful.”
Guo Gang said, “There’s no way out. The road to the base won’t be peaceful. Many people are watching. We must face these if we want to go there. At least now we still have an advantage. Without following them, we wouldn’t make it.”
Zhang Xiumin replied, “That’s true. Without Xiao Lu and his spouse, thinking of reaching the base would be impossible. Not to mention whether we have enough resources, even fuel may not be enough. Just the three of us on the road, I fear we wouldn’t make it halfway before losing our lives.”
At that moment, Meng Meng fell asleep, quietly leaning against her mother. Zhang Xiumin covered her with a jacket, then added, “Carrying a child makes us a burden to many, but Xiao Lu and his spouse have been righteous. Otherwise, with a child, it would be a burden for too many.”
Guo Gang nodded, “That’s true; these people are very kind—everyone has been giving Meng Meng food. We need to remember this favor.”

Chen Shaonan’s car was also tense when they heard the news. Addressing his wife and son, he said, “Though we’ve been in wars before, this time it’s different. If the opponents are not good people, this infiltration and ambush could be deadly. We must be on our guard this time.”
Duan Shumei nodded, “Understood, don’t worry. Tonight, I’ll lay some landmines around us. If anyone approaches, I’ll blow them up.”
Chen Lang, eager to try, added, “Right, I learned how to lay mines from my mom, and I haven’t used it in real combat yet. Today I might finally get a chance.”
While they were excited talking about it, the atmosphere in Feng Zhekai’s car was somewhat gloomy.
Feng Zhekai felt somewhat remorseful, “I shouldn’t have been softhearted.”
Lu Xuerong comforted him, “Xiao Lu is so smart; his arrangement must be the best choice.”
Driving, Cheng Yang said, “Exactly. Didn’t Brother Lu say? If we’re targeted, it’s worse to hide and remain anxious. Keeping them in plain sight makes us safer.”
Feng Zhekai continued, “That may be true, but I still feel a bit guilty.”
Lu Xuerong said, “Didn’t Xiao Gu say? If the other party is not good people, and we move forward, they would still try to block us. If they are good people and we reach the base, we can help each other, and that would be beneficial. Don’t think too much.”
Cheng Yang added, “This is the main route to the base, everyone going there uses this road, so meeting people we know is normal. If those people were here to set an ambush for robbery, then every passing traveler would encounter them. It’s unavoidable, so Dr. Feng, you really don’t need to worry so much.”
