Chapter 672: Brotherly Ties

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She was still shy.

So she came up with a lot of excuses for herself.

“We’ll go to the hospital for a check-up,” said Bai Muchuan, “also—”

He turned to look at her head that she rested on his shoulder. “Nobody here will say anything about you. I can guarantee that. You had tried your best to survive for the past few days. Which one of them is as courageous as you? Well... If you don’t want to look at their faces, just close your eyes, alright?”

Right after he finished his sentence, he started to cough again.

Xiang Wan felt bad when she heard his coughing.

“You’re still unwell. You’ll feel uncomfortable if you carry me. Bai Muchuan, put me down...”

“Cough! Cough, cough...” Bai Muchuan laughed as he coughed, squeezing her calf, unhappy about what she just said. “I’m not a man if I can’t carry my wife on my back simply because I coughed a few times. Besides, for a man, the most satisfying thing is to carry his wife on his back.”

Satisfying?

Why was it satisfying?

Bai Muchuan chuckled. “You won’t understand. This is called satisfaction, contentment and stability.”

“... Alright.”

Xiang Wan couldn’t understand but she was amused.

“You can still crack jokes at this time!”

“It doesn’t matter.” Bai Muchuan laughed. “Seems like you’ve forgotten my teachings again. Work is work. We shouldn’t let our lives be affected by issues at work... Little Xiang Wan, you may face all kinds of situations in your life now that we’re together. No work is easy... We have to learn how to relax and take things easy.”

“I understand. We must have the ability to be happy.”

Lord Bai had said something similar like this more than once.

“Don’t worry, your Excellency. I’ll keep that in mind.” Xiang Wan smiled and noticed that Bai Muchuan had arrived at the shore. There were even more people here and she lowered her head out of embarrassment like a snail hiding inside its shell, believing that the world was only so big and she couldn’t see anything nor hear anything.

“Captain Bai! Teacher Xiang... is she hurt somewhere?”

True enough, someone asked about her.

“Mm.” Bai Muchuan didn’t refute that. He directly carried Xiang Wan to the car and called for Ding Yifan.

“You drive the car. We need to go to the hospital.”

It was hectic at the shore.

The police needed to deal with the captured men. They also needed to check the boats.

Ding Yifan was startled for a moment and looked at Xiang Wan with concern. “Is Teacher Xiang hurt somewhere?”

Bai Muchuan replied, “We have to go check out Ye Lun’s condition and conduct a checkup on her.”

Ding Yifan said, “Sure.”

Without another delay, he started the car and headed straight onto the road.

Bai Muchuan called Quan Shaoteng while in the car to hand over the work at the shore. As soon as he hung up the phone, he received a call from Huang He.

Huang He was stationed at the Capital, in office.

When Bai Muchuan chased after Ye Lun from the north to the south, as the mission might take many days, he had to leave someone in-charge of Serious Crime Division One.

Hence, his former good partner, Huang He, was appointed to stay in Serious Crime Division One to handle all major and minor affairs for Bai Muchuan.

Although he had been working as an undercover cop for a long time, Huang He was also adept in management work.

Perhaps the only difference was that he was more direct and decisive than before.

When he answered it, Huang He told him a piece of news. “Lu Jianming just came earlier and took away Xiang Wan’s employee record.”

“Mm?”

Both Xiang Wan and Zhan Se were specially invited to work in Serious Crime Division One. Hence, they also had an employee record there.

Why did Lu Jianming do this?

Bai Muchuan turned grim and took a glance at Xiang Wan before turning away from her. “What did he say?”

Huang He’s tone sounded serious. “He said nothing useful. I asked him but he simply brushed me off. I feel that this is a little strange so I thought I better let you know about it.”

“Mm, alright.” Bai Muchuan paused for a moment before giving an instruction. “Inform all our brothers to be mindful with their words if there are people coming to the office to conduct checks.”

Huang He was startled. “You mean, they would take advantage of this to make things difficult for Teacher Xiang?”

Bai Muchuan replied, “Forewarned is forearmed.”

“Alright.” Huang He added after thinking for a moment, “All others are fine. I’ve noticed that Teacher Xiang gets along fine with everyone so it shouldn’t be a problem. Just that... Cheng Xin might pose a little problem as she might blabber nonsense and create a fuss.”

“Hmph!” Bai Muchuan’s face turned gloomy. “I’ll let Cheng Zheng handle her!”

“Alright.” Huang He then changed the topic. “By the way, how’s the situation like over there now?”

Huang He had learnt of the news that Xiang Wan had shot Ye Lun.

Immediately after the incident, they reported to Lu Jianming and Cheng Weiji what had happened. Serious Crime Division One also learned about the situation... Hence, at that moment, Bai Muchuan was unable to give Huang He a clear answer about the situation.

“I’m on the way to the hospital. I’ll let you know if there’s anything new.”

“Sure.”

“Lu Jianming might still come again. You help me deal with him.”

“Don’t worry! I’m adept at dealing with people.”

“...”

This was actually something that Huang He was not good at in the past.

His undercover experience dealing with those vicious and cunning outlaws had made it easy for him to deal with people now.

...

At the hospital.

Ye Lun was still inside the emergency operating theatre.

Bai Muchuan brought Xiang Wan to do a blood test. While they were waiting for the results, he went to look for Cheng Zheng. Ding Yifan was then tasked to keep Xiang Wan company.

Cheng Zheng was sitting on the lounge chairs outside the operating theatre. He hugged his head; his body arched and seemed exhausted.

Bai Muchuan looked at him for a moment and walked over slowly before sitting beside him. “You’re alone?”

Cheng Zheng lifted his head and looked at Bai Muchuan. His eyes were red due to fatigue and he pointed at the corridor. “They’re smoking over there.”

Bai Muchuan scrutinized his eyes and face. “What’s with you?”

“What?”

“Are you unwell anywhere?”

“Nope.”

“Nope?” Bai Muchuan grunted and pointed at the operating theatre. “If you’re well, you would be inside there instead.”

According to Cheng Zheng’s character, he would surely want to watch the whole process, even if he didn’t want to participate in the operation. He could have provided assistance or get first-hand information just by watching. It was extremely abnormal to sit outside by himself.

Cheng Zheng met his line of sight and quickly lowered his gaze.

He knew that he couldn’t lie to Bai Muchuan so he might as well come clean.

“I’m just tired. I’m about to collapse from the ordeal for the past few days.”

Bai Muchuan took another good look at Cheng Zheng’s face. “Xiang Wan said that she had been feeling drowsy and slept all the way throughout the journey. She felt that she had been drugged. Are you the same as her?”

Cheng Zheng shook his head. “I’m still fine, not as serious as her.”

“Perhaps you didn’t feel as drowsy because you have a better constitution than her... go! Get a blood test done to be on the safe side.”

Cheng Zheng: “...”

He looked at Bai Muchuan motionlessly.

A while later, the corners of his mouth lifted upwards.

“Are you concerned about me?”

Bai Muchuan’s gaze looked slightly away. “Comrade! Can’t you stop talking nonsense?”

“...”

Cheng Zheng looked at him motionlessly. His gaze gave away his thoughts that he was in a happy mood, but not a word came out of his mouth.

Bai Muchuan felt uncomfortable when he stared at him like that. “Why are you looking at me?” He glared at him. “I’m not a doctor.”

Cheng Zheng chuckled and lowered his head. “There’s no need to check. I know that it should be some kind of sedative. It’s nothing serious.”

“Hurhurhur!”

Bai Muchuan sneered.

Unsure if he just wanted to avoid his gaze or he was angry with his attitude, Bai Muchuan suddenly got agitated.

“What is more important than health? Is there anything more important than health in this world to you? Cheng Zheng, what do you treasure in this world?”

“There is.” Cheng Zheng looked at him seriously. “Brotherly ties.”
