CHAPTER 19: CHAPTER 17: WAITING LIKE A FAITHFUL WIFE’S STONE

Zhao Jie now pinned all his hopes on the luxury car owner; he never believed that Xiao Tian could afford such a luxury car.

On the other side, Xiao Tian quickly arrived at Yang He’s office, where Yang He was tidying up some materials, evidently already prepared.

"Xiao Tian, you’re here. Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to the police school."

Xiao Tian nodded, and the two reached the entrance, where Yang He saw Zhao Jie standing like a statue at the door. He frowned slightly and asked Zhang Xuan beside him.

"What is Zhao Jie doing here?"

"Like a wife waiting for her husband!"

Zhao Jie was eagerly waiting for the arrival of the master’s family members, with a vexed expression like a neglected wife.

A wife? Isn’t he waiting for himself? Xiao Tian felt a cold chill, goosebumps rising. Lin Bingxuan’s luxury car is indeed nice, but it’s too conspicuous — taking a police car is too noticeable, and the undercover operation must remain absolutely secret.

Thinking about this, Xiao Tian turned to Yang He and said, "Captain Yang, let’s take a taxi."

Yang He understood Xiao Tian’s intention, outwardly saying it was a private matter between him and Xiao Tian.

As Xiao Tian passed Zhang Xuan, a thought came to mind.

"Zhang Xuan, catch the car keys!" With that, Xiao Tian tossed the Porsche car keys to Zhang Xuan.

Before Xiao Tian arrived, Zhang Xuan was the top solver of cases at the branch, but now Xiao Tian had essentially replaced him as the branch’s intellectual hub, receiving even greater attention.

However, Zhang Xuan seemed to have a generous heart, as thus far he had not shown otherwise.

The two backbone officers at the branch, Zhang Meng thoroughly accepted Xiao Tian through a series of events. As for Zhang Xuan, Xiao Tian didn’t intend to win him over deliberately; it was merely a spontaneous gesture. The car was parked anyway, so why not let someone who likes it take it for a spin? Xiao Tian loved sharing.

Zhang Xuan was stunned, not knowing what Xiao Tian meant, but when he suddenly realized the car keys in his hand were the Porsche’s keys, his eyes widened instantly.

"Xiao Tian, is this Porsche yours!!?"

"Yes, that’s right. You can give it a try."

Zhang Xuan’s shout drew everyone’s attention at the branch. What? This Porsche is Xiao Tian’s? The crowd was shocked!

At the door, Zhao Jie was even more shocked, his mouth agape as he looked back and forth between Xiao Tian and the sports car, almost losing his eyes!

Could it be that he had underestimated Xiao Tian all along? Had he offended someone with bigger influence than Ce Shi? Zhao Jie’s face flushed, his mind unsettled, full of regret!

...

Sitting in the taxi, Yang He told the driver the address, and soon, they arrived at the specialized police school.

At the police school, Xiao Tian met the dozen students for the undercover operation, using some tricks to win them over and assign tasks. He then planned to visit the hospital.

Uncertain of how the beautiful master was recovering post-surgery, Xiao Tian intended to check on Yu Ningxue, although she might still be unconscious due to her severe injuries.

Xiao Tian thought of Ce Shi as well, who was staying at the same hospital; of course, Xiao Tian didn’t plan to visit him — the personnel to monitor him had been arranged, but he should also keep an eye on his movements.

Yang He returned to the branch, while Xiao Tian headed straight for the city hospital by taxi.

...

In a VIP ward at the city hospital, Ce Shi had woken up.

Despite using the best medication and doctors, his wounds were still significantly painful at the moment, and there wasn’t a part of his body that didn’t hurt — any slight movement caused excruciating pain, making him grimace.

Ce Shi’s face, already pale and delicate, now appeared even more gaunt and gradually turning malevolent, with a deep-seated hatred in his narrow eyes.

"Xiao Tian, you bastard, you dared to injure me so badly; I’m not finished with you!"

Devoured by hatred, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Beep~

Beep~

"Not answering yet!"

Ce Shi listened to the waiting tone from the phone impatiently.

...

The road was clear, and Xiao Tian quickly arrived at the hospital and got out of the car, with Zhang Xuan walking up to him.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, your car is amazing!" Zhang Xuan reveled in the thrill of driving the sports car as he returned the keys to Xiao Tian, a bit reluctant.

Of course, no need for you to say, I already knew.

"Xiao Tian, you’re here to see Yu Ningxue, right?"

Xiao Tian nodded.

Though Zhang Xuan seemed to ask knowingly, everyone at the branch knew about Xiao Tian and Yu Ningxue’s relationship — although known as master and apprentice, it was long accepted that they were a pair.

However, Zhang Xuan deliberately asked this to proceed to his next sentence: "Then, why don’t I check on Ce Shi?" With hand favor returned, speaking gracefully, moreover, feeling that Xiao Tian is quite decent, Zhang Xuan thought it was time to serve Xiao Tian.

After saying this, Xiao Tian glanced at him, seeing that Zhang Xuan is someone who understands the times and knows gratitude.

Such a person is uncertain of loyalty, but for now, he can be used; Zhang Xuan has evidently chosen his side.

"Alright, then go in and take a look."

Xiao Tian and Zhang Xuan split up and entered the hospital.

Click——

Outside Yu Ningxue’s room door, Xiao Tian carefully opened it.

He looked at the beauty lying on the hospital bed in the spacious room, taking care not to make much noise, lest he disturb her rest. He then softly approached her bedside.

Yu Ningxue had indeed not woken up yet, her eyes tightly shut.

Pulling up a chair nearby, Xiao Tian sat by the bed, quietly looking at her face. Due to significant blood loss, her complexion appeared somewhat pale.

Compared to usual, Yu Ningxue’s delicate face displayed a static beauty in sleep. Xiao Tian suddenly felt a surge of tenderness and softly brushed away the messy hair from her forehead, gently speaking.

"Beautiful master, hurry up and wake up. You know, without you, I’ve been really sad."

Yu Ningxue is a strong, brave, beautiful, and overall wonderful woman.

When Xiao Tian said this, he was tucking Yu Ningxue in and didn’t notice her eyelashes flutter slightly.

After sitting quietly for a while longer, Xiao Tian prepared to get up and leave, feeling a bit reluctant as he looked at Yu Ningxue’s sleeping face.

Suddenly, Xiao Tian slowly bent down and pressed his lips to hers.

With his eyes closed and savoring the moment, Xiao Tian was completely unaware that Yu Ningxue, with her eyes tightly shut, had her eyelashes fluttering uncontrollably, as if she was about to open her eyes.

But in the end, she didn’t open them.

Finally pulling away after a long moment, Xiao Tian shamelessly said, "I’ll just take some interest now, and we’ll talk when you wake up."

Having said that, Xiao Tian left satisfied.

As soon as Xiao Tian left, Yu Ningxue’s eyes shot open, burning with anger and shame as she stared hatefully at the door.

"My first kiss!!!"

"Damn Xiao Tian! That bastard! How dare he steal a kiss from me!!!"

She was furious for quite a while before gradually calming down.

Unconsciously touching her lips, she thought about how, when Xiao Tian stole a kiss from her earlier, she was clearly awake yet didn’t immediately open her eyes to scold him or slap him, disrupting his infringement on her.

...

Feeling quite cheerful, Xiao Tian walked out of the hospital, where Zhang Xuan was already waiting for him.

"Have you checked on Ce Shi?"

"I have. When I went in, he was on the phone. It seems he has already started contacting people to deal with you. Xiao Tian, you need to be careful. This time, those he’s contacting aren’t ones we already know about! It’s another force, and if I’m not mistaken, he’s enlisted the Dark Forces. As for which group from the Dark Forces, as soon as he saw me, he hurriedly said a few words and hung up, so I didn’t hear."

Zhang Xuan informed Xiao Tian of the information he had gathered from Ce Shi’s hospital room.

"It’s okay, I’m aware of it." Xiao Tian hadn’t expected Zhang Xuan to immediately uncover a lot, but the information he shared was quite useful.

At least it confirmed that Ce Shi is indeed associated with certain forces, and it’s possible the forces he’s contacted to deal with him are the same ones who kidnapped Lan Qi and the others last time.

Just hope they dare to come; once they do, they’ll never leave intact. When the time comes, we’ll follow the clues, round them all up, and eliminate them to prevent any future trouble.

Zhang Xuan had already given the Porsche car keys to Xiao Tian, who was preparing to drive away as he walked towards the Porsche parking spot.

Suddenly, he heard the faint sound of a vehicle collision.

"Bang!"

Xiao Tian looked to where the sound came from—hey, isn’t that his car?

The Porsche, which was parked nicely in the spot, had been scraped by a small car.

What’s going on? Is someone looking for trouble or is the driver a newbie fool?

Then he saw a woman in a suit, with her hair tied up and wearing large black-framed glasses, step out from the small car.

The woman, wearing high heels, quickly walked several steps to the front of the Porsche.

She looked at the crooked rear of her car and then at the scratched, limited edition Porsche, muttering in a panic.

"Ruined, ruined, damaged..."

However, seeing the woman’s panicked expression, Xiao Tian didn’t intend to trouble her excessively.

But before Xiao Tian reached her, he suddenly witnessed a shocking scene.

The woman lifted her leg and kicked at his Porsche!

While kicking, she angrily shouted, "Serves you for wrecking my car! Why build something so sturdy for no reason!"

Her pointy high heel kicked at the car wheel, causing the already sounding alarm of the Porsche to blare even louder with a "wah! wah! wah..." sound.

Xiao Tian was stunned by the woman’s actions.

Where did this woman come from? She backed into a parked car and doesn’t feel guilty; instead, she’s acting justified?

The woman seemed dissatisfied with just one kick and wanted to follow up with another. And this time she was aiming for a strong kick, raising her leg high...

Xiao Tian quickly stepped forward and grabbed her leg.

Hmm? This woman’s legs are quite slender! Xiao Tian slid his hand to feel them.

But slender legs couldn’t save this crazy woman; Xiao Tian lowered his head and frowned, asking, "Hey lady, what’s wrong with you?!"

The woman looked back in shock, seeing it was a man, she screamed, "What are you doing?! Let me go!!" Then she remembered the way Xiao Tian addressed her and glared at him fiercely, "Who are you calling ’lady’? I’m still young!"

With that, the woman began flailing her arms at Xiao Tian and tried hard to escape his strong grip.

"You’re the one who should explain; why did you kick my car?"

This woman was utterly crazy; could she be from a mental asylum? Xiao Tian quickly grabbed the woman’s hands reaching for him.

Oh, her hands are quite soft! Xiao Tian squeezed them a bit.

The woman’s small hand and one leg were caught by Xiao Tian, no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free from Xiao Tian’s grasp, which made her increasingly irritated.

Especially feeling Xiao Tian’s hand occasionally rubbing on her leg and hand, she became even more furious.

Seeing more and more passersby gathering around, the woman suddenly had a plan and started shouting loudly.

"Help! Someone’s being a molester!"

Oh, daring to blame others first!

Even though she shouted, Xiao Tian not only didn’t let her go but pulled her into his embrace.

Oh, she smells nice!

"Stop shouting, or you’ll get a spanking, got it?!"
