Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked getting the secret rope out overnight.

"Putting aside the fact that the petty thief wasn't even a member of Rhodes Island at the time, she had committed dozens of thefts and was taken away by you before even being tried. This behavior is not much different from a prison break," Chen said with a sneer.

"Sorry, but it's still the same clause in the agreement. If Rhodes Island discovers outstanding talent, it can recruit them as operators without resorting to violence or coercion, after obtaining their signed consent. Are you questioning Wei's decision?"

"Doctor, although I have no authority to punish you, as an assistant in the Special Operations Group, you should abide by the Guard Bureau's regulations. First and foremost, subordinates cannot contradict their superiors!"

"Officer Chen, I'm not arguing with you, I'm trying to reason with you."

As the tension in the office grew increasingly palpable, the mature and reliable older sister, Hoshiguma, stepped forward. She gestured for Chen to get a glass of water to calm down, then whispered to Qin Duanyu:

"Doctor, please don't mind Old Chen's attitude. Commander Wei seems to have his own plan. He directly ordered us to close the case and the criminal was secretly detained, so she is also very uncomfortable and her words are inevitably a bit harsh."

Qin Duanyu shook her head, indicating that she did not take the matter to heart.

It seems that Hoshiguma is unaware of Lungmen's plan at this time, while Chen at least knows part of it; otherwise, given her personality, she would never have been so furious about the case being taken over.

He clearly remembered the subsequent plot; Wei Yanwu's actions were actually quite simple.

To trap a dog by closing the door.

The Reunion Movement's infiltration capabilities were fully demonstrated in the Battle of Chernobog. It was clearly unrealistic to rely solely on the Guard Bureau to stop them. It would be better to set a trap to lure them in and keep the situation under control as much as possible.

Anyway, the main battlefield will definitely be in the outer ring area. Those infected and poor people will be the most affected. But even if they all die, it will not shake the foundation of Wei Yanwu and Longmen.

He even suspected that the gang's ability to bribe customs and security so easily to smuggle prohibited weapons into Lungmen was due to the tacit approval of the old dragon behind the scenes. It was just that Ivan had taken too big a step, bringing in too much at once, exceeding the acceptable range, which is why the Guard Bureau was mobilized to wipe them out.

However, even Rhodes Island had taken Old Wei's plan into account. Wasn't he afraid that putting him in the Guard Department would reveal something?

Or is this a test?

……

"Alright, all these officials involved are demoted and sent to the slums." Wei Yanwu took a puff of his pipe and said to the shadows in the corner, "Bai Xue, after observing for the past two days, what's your assessment of the Doctor?"

"Scumbag!" Suddenly, a person jumped down from the roof beam, knelt on one knee in front of Wei Yanwu, and presented him with a dossier with both hands.

"Ahem, next time you should show yourself from the corner." Wei Yanwu calmly picked up the pipe and examined the thing she handed him carefully.

"Yes!" The female ninja dressed in black nodded slightly, then closed her eyes and waited for orders.

"Such unexpected behavior, could he really not be the one from Kazdel..." When he saw the passage in the case file that Qin Duanyu had dragged a drunk female subordinate to bed for the night, and the next day, fearing that the scandal would be discovered, he pushed her out of the window, Wei Yanwu's dragon-like face showed an unusually interesting expression.

Besides surprise and astonishment, there was also a hint of envy.

"Bai Xue, is there anything else you want to say? Please speak freely." After a moment of hesitation, Wei Yanwu noticed his subordinate's mask trembling, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and quickly asked.

"I didn't yawn that day!" the ninja said angrily.

Although being discovered was a dereliction of duty for a ninja, and being humiliated for lacking skills was understandable, Qin Duanyu's attempt to shift the blame onto her to cover up his yawning was tantamount to killing someone and then dancing on their corpse.

Most importantly, it seems like nobody believes her anymore.

"Oh, it's okay. I know you've been professionally trained and would never yawn."

"Your subordinate has decided to prove your loyalty with your death!"

Section 55, Chapter Fifty-Four: He must be suffering, right?

Rhodes Island Land Cruiser, Medical Department.

"Miss Ansuo, your medical examination results are in, and the situation is not optimistic," Hermer said to the purple-haired rabbit lying on the examination bed, holding the newly released report.

Although there are only a few traces of Originium erosion on the surface of Dark Souls' body, the infection of its internal organs is very serious. It has missed the best time for treatment, and due to malnutrition and lack of a good rest environment, its physical health is not optimistic.

"Doctor, I don't really understand any of these medical terms you're using. To put it simply, does it mean I won't live much longer?" An Suo jumped off the bed, seemingly unconcerned about his condition. "Then I'd better hurry back to Longmen. The doctor is waiting for me to get back to work."

Even without the threat of Oripathy, she could still die suddenly on the street. For people in the slums, this is nothing out of the ordinary; every extra day they live is a bonus.

As for treatment, she never even considered it.

The file clearly stated that she was a habitual thief in the slums. Who would waste money on such scum? An Suo tugged at her slightly loose jacket, preparing to get out of bed and leave.

I should at least do something for him before I die, as a way of repaying the favor of those meals.

"Work? You're not allowed to go anywhere for the next while. Wear this monitoring bracelet, register at the inpatient department, and you'll need to recuperate for at least half a month." Hermer pushed up his glasses and said helplessly.

Why does the Doctor always seem to pick up these strange kids, just like Dr. Kal'tsit? And why does he have to work despite his health, even if it's to compete for the annual employee award?

Look at Kongbao and Klose, they feel like they're going to die if they train for even a few more minutes. If they had half the self-discipline of this kid, they would be doing Miss Dobermann a huge favor.

However, this kind of behavior is not worth promoting.

"Treatment...treatment?" An Suo asked incredulously as he took the bracelet from Himer.

On the way to be delivered by Penguin Logistics, the girls did tell Ansuo that Rhodes Island was different from other factions, but she didn't take it seriously at all. Lungmen always talked about tolerance, but they weren't much better to the Infected.

This place really does seem different. Looking at Himer's calm, expressionless face, An Suo finally realized that this doctor was simply acting this way by nature, not intentionally because of her background.

"Thank you." She sincerely thanked him, but suddenly her expression changed, and she called out to Hermer in a hesitant tone.

"Um, Miss Doctor."

"Just call me Hemer, okay?"

"Your watch... I saw it fall to the ground just now, so I picked it up for you."

"Oh, thank you. If there's nothing else, you should go to the inpatient department as soon as possible; your illness can't be delayed any longer."

Seeing the unsuspecting Hermer, An Suo was filled with remorse and, not daring to look at her any longer, hurriedly left the house.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was surrounded by a group of girls.

Felin, Luper, Kuranta... there are people of all races. They all carry weapons and have a strong presence. They must be the Operations Department operators the Doctor mentioned, her future colleagues.

What, are you ganging up on the newbie?

Surrounded in the middle, An Suo's smile remained unchanged, his hand already on the grappling hook at his waist.

"How is Doctor doing in Lungmen? Has he been bullied by that fierce Chen? Is he having a hard time?" The silver-haired horse girl at the head of the group put her hands on Doctor's shoulders and asked anxiously.

ha!?

An Suo was stunned.

From what she saw yesterday, the doctor was doing incredibly well in Lungmen, living in a house in a wealthy area, taking his subordinates out for late-night snacks and karaoke, and she heard that he had even confronted that troublesome Superintendent Chen several times.

If this kind of life is called suffering, then I really can't imagine what happiness is.

……

Lungmen Guard Bureau, Special Operations Group Office.

Openly slacking off while casually watching others work themselves to the bone was something Qin Duanyu could never have imagined in the past.

The wicked little rabbit's ear-piercing voice is no joke.

But now...

Sitting at the best-lit desk in the special inspection team, reading the latest issue of Weekly Youth FLY!, sipping a Colombian coffee with three parts sugar and three parts milk, and occasionally chatting with the old cleaning man who passes by.

For the first time, Qin Duanyu felt that life could be so boring.

If this continues, I'll become a useless person. Lungmen's schemes are so deep; they must be trying to destroy me this way so they can control Rhodes Island. Qin Duanyu pondered Wei Yanwu's sinister intentions and took a sip of coffee with satisfaction.

It tastes really good, but it's a bit bitter. I'll add more sugar next time.

In the team leader's private cubicle a dozen meters away, Chen was still engrossed in writing. Although the case involving contraband had been closed, the handover was still not easy due to the large number of thugs arrested.

“Old Chen, you were right. There were indeed some people secretly recruited among those people. They’ll be released after a few days of detention…” Hoshiguma walked in with a stack of documents, his brows furrowed.

According to normal procedures, regardless of whether the gang knew that its partner was the Reunification Movement, a large number of mid- to high-level leaders, including Brother Nan, were doomed. As for their henchmen, they would at most be detained in a detention center for a few days as a warning.

Even if human life is worthless, Lungmen is not Ursus after all. The arrest of several hundred people has already caused quite a stir and attracted media attention. Whether they are killed or sent to the mines to work, it will be widely reported. Wei Yanwu's political enemies will not let this opportunity pass.

Moreover, apart from the few trusted henchmen who transported the weapons, the others didn't even know that the gang had this kind of business. They were just following along because the gang was generous.

As for putting them all in prison... those scoundrels would probably be more than happy to have them fed and housed. Lungmen doesn't have that many resources to waste.

Unexpectedly, without even the person in charge, Brother Nan, knowing that more than a dozen of the gang's henchmen had secretly joined the Integration Movement, who knows how much they could have grown if they had been sent back to the slums.

"Alright, those Black Crows will handle the rest." Chen rubbed his temples and looked at Qin Duanyu's location through the roller blind. "What's he doing? Is he up to no good?"

"What else can they do? They're so bored they've already started folding paper airplanes." Hoshiguma shrugged, offering a worried word of advice. "While you meant well in reminding the Doctor, Rhodes Island, which he represents, is, after all, our ally. Your tone was a bit..."

Chen had been acting strangely ever since he was kept behind for a private talk by Commander Wei.

"No, you're overthinking it. It's just that I don't like that guy. Anyway, it's only a temporary partnership. What difference does it make whether we get along well or not?" Chen shook his head, denying Hoshiguma's guess.

Shamelessly claiming they're all good brothers and friends, only to turn around and use them as tools? She hasn't learned the hypocritical ways of politicians; she'd be better off adopting a distant stance from the start.

Given Wei Yanwu's tendency to reveal only half of what he knows, the information he received this morning is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Isn't she just a pawn in his game? It's laughable that a pawn would worry about other pawns.

Chen gave a self-deprecating smile as he prepared to deliver the compiled documents to Wei Yanwu.

As soon as the door opened.

Snapped!

A paper airplane hit her in the face.

So, I really hate this guy!

The doctor knew about Wei Yanwu's plan, but Chen did not know that the doctor knew about Wei Yanwu's plan. The doctor knew that Chen did not know that the doctor knew about Wei Yanwu's plan.

Classic Ursus nesting dolls.

Is Chapter 55, Section 56, progressing too quickly?

"Hey, Xiao Chen, it's been a while since you guys came. The team's been pretty busy lately, hasn't it?"

Not far from the Guard Bureau building, in a small restaurant on the food street, the proprietress led Qin Duanyu and her group inside and greeted them familiarly.

"I've been quite busy lately, so I've come to patronize your business whenever I have a spare moment, Aunt Wang." Chen, abandoning his usual cold demeanor, chatted warmly with the proprietress.

Qin Duanyu looked around and found that there were many familiar faces among the diners, who turned out to be the agents she had met in the Guard Bureau.

"This shop was opened by the family of a colleague who sacrificed his life. Because it's close to the Guard Bureau, people often come here," Machidir explained to Qin Duanyu in a low voice.

"I see. I thought you chose a small shop specifically to save me money," Qin Duanyu nodded and said with a smile.
