A sense of foreboding rose in her heart. She pulled out a shuriken the size of a millstone from somewhere and assumed a defensive posture. Only when she realized that there was no one else around did she relax slightly.

“Miss, I don’t know what your purpose is in following the doctor, but please stop immediately,” the woman in black standing in front of her said seriously, her voice clear and gentle. “Otherwise, I will take action against you.”

"You?" Bai Xue almost burst out laughing after seeing the person blocking her way.

Miss Shining, one of the heads of Rhodes Island's medical department, has many medical ideas that have been widely recognized in Lungmen's medical community. However, she is at best a skilled doctor. Against a ninja who is good at fighting, she would be easily defeated.

It seems they were just bumped into by chance, not exposed and fell into a trap. But what kind of spell did this doctor cast on the people of Rhodes Island? They are all incredibly loyal, and even a doctor is willing to stand up for his safety.

Of course, out of respect for doctors, she certainly wouldn't use excessive force.

Knock her out first, then go find the doctor!

As Bai Xue was thinking this, she lost consciousness.

Chapter 70, Section 260: Don't worry, I'm not one to hold grudges.

A moment later, the unconscious Bai Xue was dragged by Shan Ling to Qin Duan Yu.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Flash. If it weren't for your help, we might not have been able to catch her." Qin Duanyu nodded to the girl hidden in the black robe, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

“Doctor, you must have made a mistake. I’m just a wandering healer, how could I be fighting with others?” Shining seemed quite concerned about this, gripping his staff tightly as he argued, “This young lady must have been too tired and fainted. I just heard her yawning…”

"Yes, I just gave her a light massage on the neck; I didn't even draw my sword, so it definitely doesn't count as a fight." The Sarkaz girl skillfully hypnotized herself, her tone sincere and calm.

As they were speaking, the unconscious ninja from the Eastern Kingdom suddenly twitched, and tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.

“I see. Bai Xue’s mental state has indeed not been very good recently. We even gave her a long vacation. Who knew that she would not rest properly and instead secretly followed the Doctor and me…” Even the cunning and experienced Wei Yanwu could not see any flaws in Shan Ling’s expression. Although he knew it was definitely not true, he still echoed Shan Ling’s words.

As a wandering doctor, he would have been dead long ago if he didn't have the skills to protect himself while traveling across Terra. However, it would be impolite to pry into his background, and he didn't want to cause any resentment among his good brother.

It was probably some kind of poisoning. Even though Shirayuki is a ninja who is skilled in this, she was thinking about digging up juicy stories about the Doctor every day during her vacation without taking a break. It's normal that she was tired and careless and fell for the trick.

"We had a great time tonight, but it's getting late, so how about we call it a night?" Qin Duanyu picked up Bai Xue's camera and crushed the memory card inside to pieces. "Old Wei, I'm leaving Miss Bai Xue in your care. Remember to clean up the mess."

“No, no, no, Bai Xue is exhausted and needs some time to recuperate. Why don’t we entrust Rhodes Island to take care of her for a while? I trust your company’s medical capabilities and I’m sure you can help her recover as soon as possible,” Wei Yanwu quickly shook his head and said tactfully.

If he still couldn't realize that he was being used as bait by the doctor by this point, he would have been played to death decades ago. Back at the club, after the initial panic subsided, he sorted out his thoughts and roughly guessed Qin Duanyu's ideas.

However, if he could use the doctor's help to eliminate the hidden danger of Snow White, he would be happy to play dumb and go with the flow.

Politicians are best off keeping their hands clean.

Who knows if Bai Xue has any other means of recording besides the camera? What if she insists on keeping quiet? He can't very well use those cruel methods to interrogate his wife's confidant, can he? Besides, even if all the data is erased this time, and Bai Xue holds a grudge against him from now on, he probably won't have the chance to go out and have fun again.

Anyway, it's always good to leave women to a PhD to deal with!

In Wei Yanwu's mind, this was the same as entrusting the disciplinary issues to Chen and the financial issues to Swire—it was a matter of professional expertise.

Once the doctor had completely subdued Bai Xue, and his wife had relaxed her supervision, the wonderful and happy life was no longer just a dream. He could only think of one sentence to describe his feelings at this moment:

Wuhu, take off!

……

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Xue slowly woke up.

Knowing that she had been captured by the Rhodes Island medic, she didn't make a scene. Instead, she remained lying down, slightly opening her eyes to look around and assess her own condition.

Her limbs felt weak and powerless, as if her body had been hollowed out. It must have been the medic who knocked her unconscious who had tampered with her. She was in a spacious bedroom, and not far away, a man in a black hooded suit was staring blankly at a laptop with his back to her.

PhD!

Fortunately, the incredibly powerful medic is not around. Once he recovers his strength, he can capture this weakling who can't even kill a chicken.

"Hey, stop pretending to be asleep, I heard you yawn."

A simple sentence was enough to break the ninja's guard, who was planning to observe the situation in secret.

"You... Doctor, you tricked me!" Recalling what happened tonight, Bai Xue immediately realized what had happened, gritting her teeth and glaring fiercely. If she weren't so weak and powerless, she would definitely have attacked and hurt someone.

"Stop yelling. Old Wei's house is very soundproof. Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you." Qin Duanyu walked to the bedside and mercilessly exposed the ninja girl's thoughts. "Let's talk about the matter of you slandering me. The things you wrote are really bothering me."

After visiting the Emperor, he used the Emperor's name to have a friendly and cordial conversation with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper that first published "Detective Bo Mou," and learned that those articles had appeared on the other party's desk without anyone noticing.

The stories in the newspapers mostly happened when he was on official business in Lungmen, and the people involved were all mentioned in the articles, so the possibility of Rhodes Island operators committing the crimes was basically ruled out. Moreover, the stories clearly had a derogatory tone, practically calling Qin Duanyu a scumbag, someone who definitely had a grudge against him...

If he had to name an enemy, Qin Duanyu could only think of one person.

Yawning Ninja.

Once you know your opponent, the rest is easy.

He first used the excuse of having something to discuss with Wei Yanwu to send Shi Huaiya and Chen away, and then used the pretext of going on an adventure to lure out Bai Xue with this bombshell news, while also dragging Wei Yanwu into the mess.

After all, Bai Xue is from Longmen, and with the local master's approval, it is justifiable to teach her a lesson.

As for Shining, Qin Duanyu borrowed her from the medical department under the pretext of feeling unwell and needing to see a doctor. While she was fierce in combat, she was not well-known, which effectively prevented Snow White from retreating if things went wrong. If it had been Nearl instead, the ninja girl would probably have run away long ago.

Of course, most importantly, she had no romantic entanglement with Qin Duanyu, nor was she involved in Qin Duanyu's domestic conflicts. She was also exceptionally obedient and almost never refused any of Qin Duanyu's requests, making her the perfect tool.

Even when he asked to incapacitate Snow White, the Sword Saint did as he was told without questioning his purpose. He simply reminded him timidly to visit Nightingale at the medical department when he had time.

"Hmph, you've locked me up here, aren't you afraid those two young ladies will find out?" Facing Qin Duanyu's unfriendly tone, Bai Xue calmed down and said with a hint of threat.

What kind of girl lives under the same roof as a guy and sneaks into his room? It's utterly shameless, no different from those perverted women in the adult films from her hometown in the East. If she hadn't been spying on them with binoculars, she would never have imagined that Swire and Chen would do such a thing!

But now, Chen and Swire's actions have become Snow White's lifeline.

"I'm sorry, but because of your previous reports, they won't even look at me for more than three seconds now, let alone come into my house," Qin Duanyu said, spreading her hands and feigning helplessness and distress.

That's what being a tsundere is like.

"Damn it... what do you want?" Bai Xue was somewhat desperate, and she deeply understood what it meant to reap what you sow.

"Don't worry, I don't hold grudges. I just hope you won't bother me anymore." Qin Duanyu shrugged, looking like she was being forced into a corner.

"Didn't you disturb my life first?! If you hadn't insisted on framing me for yawning, I wouldn't have been suspected by the master and madam, and wouldn't have become the laughingstock of everyone!" Bai Xue said angrily, her neck stiff. "Give up! Unless you kill me right now, the famous detective doctor will never stop updating!"

"I've done my research on how to deal with ninjas beforehand!" Qin Duanyu sneered, pushing the computer in front of Bai Xue. "If you know what's good for you, you'd better give up, otherwise everything will be irreversible!"

It was a search engine called "Qiandu," and the search bar prominently displayed: "Tolerance for X."

"You, you don't come any closer!" Bai Xue tried to shrink back, her face full of terror.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, this is something I used to kill time. I used it to deal with you!" Qin Duanyu glanced at the screen, switched web pages somewhat awkwardly, and put the headphones on Bai Xue's head at the same time.

"That's it?" The ninja, slightly relieved after learning that she wouldn't be subjected to any such treatment, snorted disdainfully.

It was a young man from Liboli wearing a black shirt and overalls, holding a basketball in his hand. Although the title contained words like "grotesque," "brainwashing," "lower SAN value," and "mental breakdown," there was nothing scary about him at all.

"I hope you won't beg me later!" Qin Duanyu sighed and clicked the loop playback button.

If you can last an hour, I'll admit defeat!

Chapter 71, Section 261: Welcome to Rhodes Island

Sure enough, after only half an hour, Bai Xue couldn't hold on any longer.

Seeing the ninja girl's eyes rolled back, her face pale, and her body twitching unconsciously, Qin Duanyu knew that the time was right. In order to prevent her from being completely ruined, he mercifully pressed the pause button and sent a message to his good brother.

"Old Wei, I've got everything sorted out here. Everything is proceeding according to plan!" Amid cheers from the other end, Qin Duanyu put down the phone and turned to look at Bai Xue, who was gradually regaining her senses.

"Rhodes Island demon! You're not even human! You've completely lost your humanity... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have opposed you, I'm so sorry for causing you trouble." The ninja girl cursed a few times, but when she saw Qin Duanyu making a basketball-driving motion, she seemed to remember something terrible, and immediately backed down, shrinking into the bed and trembling.

Although she knew some of the rumors about the doctor as one of Wei Yanwu's confidants, after several interactions, she found that his words and actions were completely different from the cold, ruthless, and decisive person she had imagined. Instead, he was more like a silly friend.

It wasn't until I watched half an hour of basketball that I stopped.

She was quite certain that the legendary figure who single-handedly stirred up the Kazdel situation and was more like a demon than a demon himself was none other than the Doctor before her. Even the most evil Sarkaz probably couldn't have imagined such a terrifying method of torture.

Unlike physical torture, this video, which would make one's sanity plummet, completely extinguished any desire Bai Xue had to cause trouble for Qin Duanyu. All she wanted to do was return to her residence and watch a few episodes of "Magical Girl Square Face" to heal her wounded heart.

"Since you know you were wrong, I'll generously forgive you." Qin Duanyu ignored the other's eye roll, took out a document and handed it to Bai Xue, "Sign this contract to sell yourself... on secondment, and from now on we'll be on the same side."

"Um... I haven't been feeling well lately. You can see I'm yawning even during missions, which means I'm obviously too tired. It's not that I don't want to come to Rhodes Island, but I'm afraid of delaying the work at Rhodes Island..." Bai Xue's eyes were full of fear, as if Qin Duanyu wanted her to sign some kind of devil's contract that would sell her soul. She stammered and made excuses.

What a joke! Right now, she's running away from the doctor like the plague. If she falls into their hands, she'll probably be ruined in less than a month!

"It's alright, Lao Wei had already considered this. So before you officially start working, you will recuperate in the medical department until the medical staff confirm that you are in good enough condition to serve as an operator," Qin Duanyu said with a smile. Seeing that Bai Xue seemed to still want to struggle, she added, "Madam Wen Yue also agreed to this."

This is the solution that Qin Duanyu and Wei Yanwu came up with.

One is a heartless foreman who complains all day that he doesn't have enough workers and that his earning efficiency is too low. The other is someone who wants to have fun but is suffering from being monitored and can't wait to get rid of the spies his wife sent, the farther the better. So the two hit it off and arranged for Snow White to come to Rhodes Island as an operator under the guise of a temporary transfer.

The excuse of befriending Rhodes Island and exchanging information was so plausible that even someone as shrewd as Lady Fumizuki couldn't see through it and agreed almost without thinking, completely unaware that she was pushing her loyal subordinate into a fire pit.

The name "Madam Wenyue" seemed to possess some kind of special magic. Bai Xue sighed and signed her name on the contract, her tragic expression as if she were about to go to the execution ground.

……

Not long after, Amiya called.

"Doctor, what's going on? Why did Commander Wei send Miss Snow White to Rhodes Island?" The little rabbit's tone was somewhat anxious.

Although there are many operators from Lungmen on the island, both Ash and Rosa were picked up by the Doctor and do not have an official background like Snow White. She is very worried about their purpose in coming to the island.

For example... spying.

"Don't worry, I've already checked on Miss Bai Xue's condition, and the kind of thing you're worried about won't happen," Qin Duanyu said with a smile, waving to Bai Xue as if to say a few words as well.

“That’s right, I’ve just been working too hard lately and I really need to go to Rhodes Island to recuperate for a while.” Bai Xue’s heart skipped a beat, and she squeezed out these words through gritted teeth.

Hmph, didn't you say you'd wait until I'm fully recovered before assigning me any missions? Well then, I'll just lie here for a few months. Rhodes Island will be paying me during this time anyway, and I don't believe a stingy guy like the Doctor would be willing to support an idle person!

As long as she can stall until the other party can't take it anymore, she can still return to Lungmen.

"Understood. I trust the doctor's judgment. Miss Bai Xue will be assigned to the Action Department and you will be in charge." Amiya hesitated slightly on the other end of the phone, but out of trust in Qin Duanyu, she still agreed to the matter.

Bai Xue, who had made up her mind to pretend to be sick and slack off, couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

“I remember Dr. Gavial and Dr. Warfarin are quite free lately, so let them take charge of Miss Bai Xue’s treatment,” Qin Duanyu said calmly, knowing what Bai Xue was planning just by looking at her expression.

“Doctor…” The little rabbit fell silent upon hearing Qin Duanyu address it by name.

Those two doctors are indeed very skilled, and they can be considered the backbone of the medical department. But you're asking them to work together at the same time. Are you sure this is to help Bai Xue recover, or to kill her?

"Now that I've joined Rhodes Island, of course I must provide Miss Bai Xue with the best service!" Qin Duanyu said righteously, just like a good leader who cares about his subordinates. His sincere tone even moved Bai Xue.

Upon closer reflection, this scoundrel of a doctor was actually quite good to his subordinates. When he first arrived in Lungmen, apart from a few strong individuals, the weapons, equipment, and training levels of most of the Operations Department operators were simply not up to Ninja's standards.
