The next morning, Luo Ziling’s three dormmates changed into their uniforms and went to the field to start a new day of military training. However, Luo Ziling did not go. Instead, he wore his usual clothes and walked toward the school gate.
Before leaving the dorm, Luo Ziling had explained to the three guys that he had been assigned another mission by the instructor and was going to take leave for today’s military training.
Cao Jianhui, Wu Longjiang, and Li Fuming did not quite believe what he’d told them, but when they saw Luo Ziling swaggering toward the school gate instead of coming with them to the training, it was enough to convince them. Just a little.
When they arrived at the military training ground, the instructor called out Luo Ziling’s name. They immediately explained that he had something important to attend to and had asked for a leave of absence. However, they were also very curious and wanted to know what mission the instructor had
assigned him.
Luo Ziling, for his part, naturally did not care about the situation happening over at the military training ground. He arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time at the place where he and Linlan had parted the day before.
Today, he brought all the items he thought he needed and was carrying a rather large bag with him.
‘When he arrived at the agreed place, however, Linlan was nowhere to be seen.
At 7:59 am, Luo Ziling finally caught sight of saw a very domineering military vehicle quickly driving in his direction. He could not help but sigh inwardly. “These soldiers are really punctual. Their timing is also very accurate.”
Linlan was sitting in the car, dressed in the same clothes as yesterday. She wore black clothes, black pants and big black sunglasses, giving off an irresistibly cool feeling.
Luo Ziling believed that if Linlan were to stand at the school gate in such attire, it would definitely cause a commotion and would attract a lot of spectators. Perhaps she would become the object of lust for many boys who were still full of hormones.
“Good morning!” Luo Ziling opened the door of the front passenger seat. After getting into the car, he greeted Linlan with a smile on his face and commented, “You’re really punctual.”
“Moming,” Linlan returned his greeting, but did not say anything else. Once Luo Ziling had fastened his seatbelt, the car tumed around and quickly headed towards the school gate.
“Tbrought everything today.” Luo Ziling motioned to the bag he’d brought and then asked, “Did you apply the medicine that I gave you yesterday?”
“Yes,” Linlan replied curtly, then remained silent.
However, Luo Ziling did not care and asked again, “Do you feel anything? Is your scar itchy?”
Linlan tilted her head and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. In the end, she nodded. “Does this kind of reaction mean that the medicine is working?”
“Of course it’s working, There has never been a situation where it wouldn’t work,” Luo Ziling quickly explained. “Well, the medicine is only effective on fresh scars. it won’t have a very noticeable effect on older scars.”
Linlan understood what he meant and also accepted this outcome.
When it came to new scars, the skin and muscle tissues surrounding them had not fully grown and hadn’t scabbed over yet. With external force, the scars could be more easily removed as compared to old scars, which had lost the ability to regenerate.
Luo Ziling was naturally very happy that Linlan was willing to talk to him.
A.woman who was intimate with him for the first time definitely had a different status in his heart than other women.
“After helping your chief with his wounds, I’ll treat yours.” He glanced at Linlan, feeling a little embarrassed. “It will hurt a lot when I cut off the original scar, but I’ll make sure to give you an anesthetic before that.”
As if trying to ward off any misgivings she might’ve had, Luo Ziling said, “Don’t worry, I have an anesthetic created by my grandfather with acupuncture and self-made drugs. I don’t need the ones used in Western medicine. Although the effect will be a little worse, there won’t be any side effects and there
will be a much lower risk of accidents happening.”
“Idon’t need an anesthetic,” Linlan replied stiffly.
“I’ll be very painful.” Luo Ziling looked at her in surprise, then explained, “Last time when I helped treat your injuries, I used this method to anesthetize you. There were basically no side effects. Pain won’t do much good to the body, you know. Your willpower doesn’t need to go through this kind of
training, I’m a doctor, so you should listen to me when it comes to the treatment of injuries and illnesses!”
Linlan really wanted to say, “Why should I listen to you?
But in the end, she nodded her head as if nothing had happened.
Upon seeing that Linlan was listening to his opinion, Luo Ziling was finally satisfied.
Linlan’s driving skills were excellent, and so was the performance of this car. No one dared to stop them while they were driving thanks to the military plate on it, so the journey went by very fast.
After about 50 minutes, they drove into the heavily guarded courtyard.
This time, Luo Ziling was treated slightly better. The only thing they checked was his ID.
After the car stopped, Linlan jumped out of it coolly, took off her sunglasses, and put them in her pocket.
‘When he saw Linlan’s beautiful appearance clearly, Luo Ziling actually lost himself for a moment.
She looked very good today and seemed very energetic. In addition to her cool clothes, she cut a very dashing figure.
Her beauty was completely different from Yang Qingyin, Ouyang Feifei, and Ouyang Huihui. She carried a heroic air, giving off some kind of masculine charm. Although Luo Ziling admired Yang Qingyin’s beauty, which was more akin to that of a traditional lady, he also liked Linlan’s heroic, and so he
couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her.
Linlan didn’t say anything. She just raised her head and gestured for Luo Ziling to follow her.
He didn’t ask much and followed behind Linlan as they entered the small garden where the chief lived.
The old man was not in the house. He was enjoying the fresh air in the backyard with a few special guards accompanying him.
‘When he saw Luo Ziling walking over, he immediately laughed out loud. “Ziling, you’re here.”
Looking at the situation, Linlan could not help but curl her lips, as if she was a little dissatisfied.
Indeed, she couldn’t lie and say that she wasn’t somewhat displeased by the situation.
The leader in front of her, who was like a strict father, rarely showed such a kind expression in front of others. It could be said that most of the people in this team had never seen the old man greeting them in such a tone.
As a chief, Linlan, who was highly valued and treated like a foster daughter, often enjoyed such treatment. This was also something she was proud of.
However, Luo Ziling, an outsider, was also able to get the old man’s special treatment just like her. She couldn’t help but feel that something that originally belonged to her had been taken away by someone else, and she felt more than a little upset.
Luo Ziling could feel Linlan’s gaze boring into the back of his head, but he paid it no mind.
“You look pretty good today. You must have slept well last night, right?” Luo Ziling smiled and went up to greet the chief.
“It was indeed good. Your acupuncture and massage techniques were excellent. It’s been a long time since I’ve slept so soundly.”
“That’s good.” Luo Ziling let out a sigh of relief when he heard that. “Then let’s go back to the room and continue the treatment.”
The old man did not refuse and readily agreed.
The two special guards, together with Linlan and Luo Ziling, lifted the old man into the room and moved him onto the bed.
‘When they began to remove the silver needles, Luo Ziling instructed, “Today, in addition to the acupuncture treatment I performed on those few acupoints yesterday, I will also be pricking a few other acupoints. When I prick them, if you feel anything, just let it all out. Don’t hold it in. I want to know how
effective the treatment is.”
“Til listen to you,” the old man agreed readily. He even joked, “Do you want me to make a fool of myself in front of my subordinates?”
The old man’s words made Linlan feel even weirder, somehow.
The bureau chief was too polite to Luo Ziling. She could never have imagined he could ever be so polite.
Disappointment and a sense of displeasure surged into her heart once again, and she glared at Luo Ziling with a slightly unfriendly gaze, which puzzled him greatly..
