Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Finally, she glanced at Qin Duanyu, and only felt relieved when she saw that he had no complaints.

"Yes, Commander Wei has already given instructions. I just didn't expect you to personally escort the doctor here. Please come upstairs, Commander Wei has been waiting for a long time." The receptionist called over a waiter and asked him to lead the two upstairs.

“No need to trouble anyone to lead the way, I know this area well, and there’s a guide right here,” Qin Duanyu pointed at Chen. The aunt immediately understood, whispered a few words into the intercom, and then indicated that they could go upstairs.

"Why are you smiling so happily? Did you win the lottery?" Not long after the two left, a young woman from another department came to the front desk to pick up a package. Seeing the strange smile on her face, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course it's Officer Chen. She came with that PhD today." The receptionist said cheerfully to the young lady. "I knew it! When they first came here a few months ago, they looked like a bickering couple from an idol drama. You didn't believe me, but now it's true, there's something going on. They were even holding hands as they went upstairs."

“Wait a minute, I just checked the appointments. That young lady is also coming to the official residence. It seems she's going to talk to the municipal planning department about buying new land. Should we inform Miss Chen in advance and ask her to leave a little while?” The young lady’s expression changed, and she asked with some concern.

"No, if you tell Officer Chen that the person is here, she'll probably go straight there. Do you think the facilities in the official residence are too old and want to take this opportunity to renovate them?" The receptionist took a deep breath, her tone becoming somewhat serious.

The fierce competition between the two officers had not only occurred countless times within the Imperial Guard Bureau, but also several times at Wei Yanwu's residence. In particular, on one occasion when Commander Wei was recognizing outstanding officers, he inadvertently arranged for those two to receive their medals one after the other...

If it weren't for the capable bodyguards at the official residence who successfully prevented a fight backstage, the awards ceremony would have turned into a rehearsal for a terrorist attack.

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, they don't know each other's existence, and one is on the top floor and the other on the third floor, there's no reason for them to bump into each other. Besides, with Commander Wei there, things shouldn't escalate too much," the receptionist said somewhat uncertainly.

Well, that's not something they should worry about.

I've been a bit lazy lately, I'm very sorry. There will be another update later.

Section 233, Chapter 50: You need to persuade her!

Because they needed to discuss "classified matters," Chen accompanied Qin Duanyu to the office door, then reluctantly let go of his hand, leaning against the wall to watch him go in.

Guided by his somewhat balding middle-aged male secretary, he finally saw the long-lost leader of Longmen. He still had that dignified and unfathomable demeanor, sitting upright on the tatami in the cubicle, showing none of the dejection he had displayed during the phone call the night before.

“Doctor of Rhodes Island, please have a seat. I’ve had some hot tea prepared; we can chat while we drink.” Wei Yanwu extended his right hand, pointed to the seat in front of him, and then turned to his secretary, “You can go and rest now. Don’t come in unless I give you permission.”

The latter nodded and tactfully left.

Even if he was someone arranged by Miss Wen Yue, he knew what he should and shouldn't ask. If he really found out some important information, even if he couldn't touch Miss Wen Yue, he could still sink him into the river outside.

"Doctor, the main reason I invited you here today is..." Wei Yanwu continued in an official tone, pretending to be serious, until he watched his secretary close the door.

"Don't worry, that yawning ninja isn't nearby, and no one will know what we're talking about." Without needing any further hints from the other person, Qin Duanyu waved her hand, indicating that the place was absolutely safe.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between men.

"Phew... Good brother... You've finally arrived... Give me some advice! Ouch~" Wei Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and hurriedly got up to try to pull Qin Duanyu's arm, but ended up wincing in pain and could only sit back down in a cross-legged position.

"Shanbei Black Medicine, a specialty of Rhodes Island, promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis, and unblocks meridians. Most importantly, it can also relieve pain." Looking at the soft cushion several centimeters thick under Wei Yanwu, Qin Duanyu explained with great sympathy.

This is an emergency medicine issued by Rhodes Island to frontline operators. Its effectiveness is self-evident. He estimated that Old Wei had been kneeling on washboards at least three times and would need this. Consider it repayment for the favor Old Wei gave him last time.

"Thanks, bro." Wei Yanwu took the spray bottle and nodded gratefully. "My wife is really going too far. All I did was go out for drinks with a subordinate, and she insisted there was a lipstick mark on my collar. She beat me up badly and made me kneel on five washboards made of ironwood..."

"Whose life is easier? I almost lost my life on Rhodes Island last night. Luckily, I was smart enough not to be cut into pieces." Qin Duanyu patted his shoulder sympathetically and sat cross-legged opposite him at the coffee table. "Bring up your best coffee. Remember to put three parts sugar and three parts milk."

"I never expected that the king of picking up girls on Rhodes Island would ever mess things up like this?" A hint of schadenfreude flashed in Wei Yanwu's dragon eyes as he leisurely picked up his teacup.

Although Wen Yue was a bit strict, and her happy single life was gone forever, life was tough, but it was never life-threatening.

The Doctor is a different story altogether; he's practically risking his life to woo women, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a real-life Makoto Shinkai.

"Tch, the former prince of Lungmen nightclubs, the man who could conquer the entire red-light district in one night, isn't he still completely controlled by his wife now? Even going out for a drink has to turn him into this?" Qin Duanyu took a sip of coffee and retorted sharply.

"Cough cough cough, a hero doesn't dwell on past glories. Instead, teach me how to win over Wen Yue. Didn't you say on the phone yesterday that it would be easy to handle?" Wei Yanwu choked and awkwardly turned his head away.

Even if it was a close call, the number of girls the Doctor was facing was still considerable, and none of them were easy to deal with; they were on a completely different level from him. Therefore, he still believed that the Doctor had the ability to help solve the problem.

"It's easy, but it'll strain your back a bit." Qin Duanyu leaned forward, muttered a few words in a low voice, and then told him a few license plate numbers, seemingly for use as teaching materials.

"That's it?" Wei Yanwu's eyes widened.

Are you teaching an experienced driver how to drive?

"So, don't you think a large part of your midlife crisis is because you don't have children?" Qin Duanyu coaxed patiently. "You need to be mentally prepared. You have to be different from your usual perfunctory attitude. It's best to bring out the momentum you had when you were cutting down a street back then."

No matter how harmonious the relationship between husband and wife is, or how loving they are, people in Wei Yanwu's position will more or less feel a sense of crisis, especially after being together for a long time, they will inevitably worry that the other party will get tired of them.

That's why Fumizuki is so suspicious, even sending out yawning ninjas to keep an eye on her. But if they really had offspring, it would not only strengthen the bond between them, but also effectively distract her.

"What if it still doesn't work? The probability of dragons reproducing is very low..." Wei Yanwu said helplessly. As the person in charge of the Dragon Gate, he was certainly certain that both he and his wife were healthy, but when it came to having children, it really depended on the whims of fate for the dragons.

Otherwise, Wen Yue wouldn't have been so proactive in arranging blind dates for Chen; it's all for the sake of the continuation of the race.

"Even if there are no results, as long as the grain tax is paid in full each time, your wife can rest assured, right?" Qin Duanyu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you said you just wanted to go out and have some fun, and you didn't mean to do anything to betray your wife, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

"Your reminder has made everything clear!" Wei Yanwu's face lit up with surprise, feeling that Qin Duanyu's words made a lot of sense. "Indeed, from the first time we met, I knew that we could be brothers for life!"

"Sure, sure. But on my side, could you arrange a temporary transfer like last time? It doesn't need to be too long, about a week will do!" Qin Duanyu roughly estimated that the girls would calm down in about that time.

"We're brothers, who else would I help but you? Leave this to me!" Wei Yanwu nodded solemnly, patting his chest as he assured him, "How about continuing the secondment to the Guard Bureau? Don't worry, the salary and benefits will be doubled!"

"Then I'm relieved. You can treat me to a drink sometime!" Qin Duanyu finally felt at ease and got up to leave.

Wait a minute, I'm on friendly terms with Lao Wei, but he's a generation older than Chen, so Officer Long shouldn't call me uncle... Thinking of this, Qin Duanyu painfully rubbed her temples, realizing that even the way she addressed him was a bit off.

He doesn't have that strange fetish of having girls call him... cough cough.

boom!

Just as I reached the door, I heard a loud bang outside, and Wei Yanwu's office door was blasted open.

What? The Reunion Movement has invaded?

Qin Duanyu scrambled to hide behind Wei Yanwu while simultaneously using her God's Eye view to assess the situation.

It’s over.

Despair was evident on his face.

How come these two have run into each other again?

Chapter 51, Section 234: Miss Shi, I Won This Time

Recently, Miss Swire has been in a very good mood.

The Major Crimes Unit has cracked several major cases in a row. As the commander, Little Tiger has received numerous commendations and has steadily overshadowed Rice Noodle Dragon. Full of pride, she even feels that if things continue to develop like this, it's only a matter of time before she takes over the Guard Bureau.

This morning, she bought a plot of undeveloped land in the inner city of Longmen at an extremely low price. She could almost imagine that once some news was released, many followers would follow suit and invest in construction in the surrounding area.

After all, Swire's vision and intelligence are beyond question. Take the food street she visited with Qin Duanyu before, for example. At the time, no one was optimistic about her investment, but so far, the value of that street has increased nearly tenfold.

Her sudden purchase of a large plot of land might have some hidden meaning. Following the lead of a big shot is never a bad idea, even if you only get a small share later.

Little did she know, this was exactly the effect Ms. Swire wanted.

In Little Tiger's vision, this area was to be developed into a large, independent commercial district that rivaled Pacific Place. However, even with her astonishing financial resources, achieving this goal was still somewhat of a stretch.

So, the young lady, who didn't want to rely on her family's power, came up with this idea, which was to indirectly raise funds for joint development. Although the money earned this way would be less than that from completely independent development, Swire knew the principle of leaving some soup for others while enjoying the meat.

In any case, once this commercial district is fully developed, when the residents of Longmen mention this place, the first thing they will think of will be her "Yida Plaza," which was the first to be built and is located in the very center. The surrounding shops will just be secondary.

Well, I'll have my construction company contract all the projects, which will minimize the initial investment. I'll also have the logistics company stockpile building materials, so we can make a small fortune.

"I'm sticking to the doctor, and the rice noodle roll dragon is sticking to the wall~" The smug little tiger hummed a song as he walked out of the office with the contract in hand.

pat.

A sheet of A4 paper suddenly floated in front of her, as if it had been blown by the wind.

Swire lowered her head curiously and discovered that it was today's visitor registration list. As if afraid that she wouldn't look closely, one of the names was specially highlighted with a bold black marker.

PhD!?

Her green eyes were full of surprise. Even though she had just signed a huge project worth hundreds of millions, Swire's heart was not stirred. However, when she picked up the list to check, she was distracted several times. It took her a while to confirm that the Doctor was really in the same residence as her.

"Uncle Da, cancel all of today's schedules and book a restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel for me, for two people, yes, it has to be the highest-class one!" Swire made a phone call and instructed the butler, while quickening her pace toward Wei Yanwu's office.

No wonder the magpies in the garden were chirping non-stop this morning. It seems my luck is good, and I'm about to have a double harvest in both my career and love life! In just a few minutes, Swire had thought of everything from day to night, and her thick tail, adorned with a Cartier ring, wagged excitedly.

As the cheerful Tiger Policeman boarded the elevator, something seemed to move in the shadows.

There was also a soft yawn.

……

Looking at the closed office door, she knew that the doctor and Commander Wei had not finished their discussion. Swire sat down in the still warm chair and thought about how to greet the doctor when she saw him again.

Should she hide in a corner and wait for the professor to approach before jumping out with a "whoosh" to scare him, or should she calmly walk over and say, "What a coincidence! Want to grab a bite to eat together?" In any case, she should pretend it's a chance encounter and not let the professor realize that she came specifically to find him.

It's a pity I didn't wear the dress he gave me; I wish I had known sooner. Swire looked at herself in the same Victorian fashion show outfit and frowned.

In her walk-in closet, which spans several dozen square meters, are displayed the latest luxury brand clothing from fashion shows around the world—enough to hold her own exhibition. But the most prominent item on display is a red cheongsam that costs several times more than hers.

The reason for not wearing it out is even more surprising: the wealthy Miss Swire was afraid of ruining it.

Oh right, I need to touch up my makeup first. As the eldest daughter of the Swire family, I can't be impolite at a time like this. Swire took out her makeup mirror, looked at herself, and turned to walk into the restroom next door.

At the sink, a girl seemed to be touching up her lipstick. She was staring intently at herself in the mirror and didn't even notice that Swire had come in.

"Alas!?"

After seeing each other's faces clearly, the two girls exclaimed in surprise at the same time and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

I must be hallucinating. How could I possibly encounter Rice Noodle Roll Dragon (Char Siu Cat) here? My wonderful day ended with meeting Rice Noodle Roll Dragon (Char Siu Cat).

Oh no, her target is definitely the Doctor too!

Both girls were senior inspectors of the Imperial Guard, and their minds were incredibly meticulous. Coupled with a woman's intuition, they quickly guessed the other party's purpose. However, this was Wei Yanwu's official residence, and if a fight broke out, no one would have a good outcome.

However, some verbal interaction was inevitable.

"I really didn't expect this. I thought Mr. Chen was a tomboy and wouldn't know anything about these things." Looking at the light pink lipstick in Mr. Chen's hand, Swire took out mascara, eyebrow pencil, blush, eyeshadow, and several tubes of lipstick in different colors from her handbag.

"Still as troublesome as ever. If you could put half of that energy into your work, Longmen's security would be several times better than it is now." Chen, who had lost the upper hand in terms of momentum, curled his lip and frowned as he spoke.

“If I remember correctly, the Major Crimes Unit has been far more successful than the Inspectorate recently,” Swire said defiantly. “There’s no way around it; my abilities speak for themselves. I’ve managed to balance work and personal life very well.”

"Not having a job proves that I'm intimidating those foreign prisoners, right? Besides, I've arranged my private life much better than you have." Chen pursed his lips, making sure the lipstick was completely on, and then dropped a bombshell, "It's all because the doctor kissed me too hard just now, and a big chunk of my lipstick was wiped off."

Although there are some discrepancies in the timing, she did have close contact with the Doctor, leaving Char Siu Cat far behind.

*Longmen swear words*, you philandering cat!
