The Originium disease potion... was invented by Chen Qi himself, and even the subsequent production line was arranged by Chen Qi.

The Ursus Legion... was repelled by Chen Qi's plan. The Doctor's performance on the front battlefield was indeed brilliant, but Kal'tsit couldn't help much in this regard.

Even now, most of Rhodes Island’s many partners and elite operators were recruited one by one by Chen Qi himself.

Did she...really help Chen Qi reduce his burden?

...It seems not. Although she sternly warned Chen Qi to take a rest, after a short rest, Chen Qi still faced work and heavy tasks.

Even during Xiosta's holiday, Chen Qi and his team were busy dealing with local affairs, and they also recruited two important operators, Ceylon and Hei.

As Chen Qi got involved in more and more things, Rhodes Island's affairs gradually began to revolve around him. She, Amiya, and the doctor became more and more like non-staff members.

Although everyone knows that the three of them are the real supreme commanders of Rhodes Island, no matter in which aspect, Chen Qi is more like a better leader than them.

——Even from the beginning to the end, Kal'tsit never gave Chen Qi greater authority.

Chen Qi's ability made more and more people believe in him and even rely on him, but now that he fell ill, half of the people in Rhodes Island panicked.

Even Kal'tsit herself was panicking. Everyone was paying attention to Chen Qi's condition, and didn't know what to do next.

——This also exposed the most fatal problem. Chen Qi was too important. So important that without him, the entire Rhodes Island might fall into a temporary paralysis.

This also shows that Chen Qi's workload during this period was so huge that he never got a real rest.

"…I'm sorry, I seem to be too excited."

However, Chen seemed to notice Kal'tsit's slightly gloomy expression. After a long while, he took a deep breath and apologized softly:

"I'm a straightforward person, Dr. Kal'tsit, don't take it personally."

"But what I just said is all from my heart."

"I know that Chen Qi is very important to Rhodes Island now. He is so important that he is indispensable."

"——But, to me personally, Chen Qi is also very important. So important that I can give up everything for him."

After saying that, Chen looked at Kal'tsit again, and after a moment of hesitation, he spoke lightly:

"But I don't know, for you, is Chen Qi's value as a person more important, or is his life and existence more important."

"Although it may be hurtful to speculate about you in this way, I can't help but think so now."

Especially at the moment when Chen Qi fell down, this thought of Chen became more and more intense, and even lingered in his brain.

She knew that it was too hurtful to think about Chen Qi's biological parents in this way, but concern made her confused. At this moment, Chen had to consider some of the most extreme possibilities.

A mother is strong, let alone someone like Chen Sir. She had already made her own decision.

"——Some time ago, Lao Wei and I discussed it and finally decided that I would be temporarily assigned to Rhodes Island as a cooperative operator and obey orders."

Chen slowly let out a sigh of relief, and then continued to speak to Kal'tsit:

"During this period, I will be fully responsible for Chen Qi's life. I will be included in any combat activities of Chen Qi and follow him at any time."

"——I have also discussed this with Tallulah. Tallulah (in the future) will temporarily take my place at Longmen and maintain communication with Chernobog's Integration Movement."

"If, during this time in Rhodes Island, I feel that Xiao Qi has been exploited and her value has been consumed here."

“——Even if I have to rob him, I will bring Chen Qi back to Longmen.”

In the end, only these words were left behind. Chen had nothing else to say, so he slowly walked towards the outside world.

Kal'tsit was left alone in her office, sitting in silence for a long time.

Desolate, lonely, and seemingly misunderstood...

Chapter 75: Ifrit begins to think about how to treat Sir Chen

"Chen Qi, are you hungry?"

"Would you like some water? I'll pour it for you."

"Are you lying too stiff? Do you want a massage?"

This day was a day worth celebrating for Chen Qi. His body functions began to recover slowly, and the echo that had been ringing in his ears at all times finally showed signs of being curbed. He could also try to walk a little.

The person in charge of taking care of Chen Qi today is Ifrit. As Chen Qi's assistant, Ifrit obviously has experience with Chen Qi's condition and seems to be much more adept at it.

However, somehow, Ifrit seemed very... enthusiastic today?

In the past, Ifrit was indeed very careful when taking care of the sick Chen Qi, but today Ifrit was very enthusiastic, even more enthusiastic than before when taking care of Chen Qi.

From Chen Qi's meaningless look, Ifrit could directly derive several meanings. From Chen Qi's frown, Ifrit would wonder if he had accidentally pressed Chen Qi, or if it had reminded him of something in the past.

Such concern made Chen Qi feel very...unnatural, but at this moment he was really powerless to resist it, so he could only enjoy it silently.

Come to think of it, this was the first time in all these years that Chen Qi could enjoy the care of different people. Even within a few days, he had sensed the care characteristics of these operators who were responsible for taking care of him.

Ifrit is quite anxious and also very worry-free. Chen Qi doesn't need to think too much, Ifrit can help him handle many things. She is worthy of being Chen Qi's assistant.

Skadi, she unexpectedly has a way of taking care of patients, but her method is inexplicably strong. Whenever Chen Qi resists a little, Skadi will hold him down without saying anything, and then add:

"Just tell me what you want to do."

...How should I put it, Chen Qi didn't hate Skadi's dominance, but Skadi's way of taking care of patients always made people feel that if there was a disagreement, she would use her greatsword to reason with you.

There is no doubt that Skadi is a person with this kind of temper. Although she usually doesn't talk much, in fact, she is really a woman with a bad temper.

And Jessica... this young lady obviously had no experience in taking care of people. She was clumsy in serving tea or water, and looked so flustered that it was hard to imagine that she was the "smoke killer" who was feared on the battlefield.

However, although Jessica is not good at taking care of people, she is very willing to study. For example, she is not good at tea art. Every time after washing the tea, she will taste it herself. If she is not satisfied, she will start over silently.

Chen Qi watched her wash the tea silently for more than ten times before finally serving the tea to her satisfactory taste. Chen Qi wanted to speak every time he saw Jessica brew the freshly washed tea without any worries, but he didn't say much.

Jessica's race is cat, which means cat family. The term "cat tongue" is not groundless. Looking at Jessica's gradually numb appearance after tasting it many times, Chen Qi didn't know what to say.

However, an unexpected visitor today made Chen Qi a little overwhelmed.

"Xiao Qi."

The door of the ward was suddenly opened. Ifrit, who was feeding Chen Qi water with a spoon, paused slightly, and turned his head to look together with Chen Qi.

Over there, there were two familiar figures, one in blue and one in black. They were Chen and Tallulah.

However, the two girls' current attire is somewhat different from what Chen Qi remembered.

"Mr. Chen, Aunt Tallulah."

Chen Qi called out softly and struggled to get up, but before he could move, Ifrit, Chen and Tallulah nervously pushed him back.

"Don't move!"

The unanimous voice immediately stopped Chen Qi's actions. Chen Qi also gave up his actions helplessly, and a faint voice came slowly:

"I'm really not used to this feeling right now... I feel like I'm just a paper man in your eyes."

"You are more fragile than paper now. Doctor Kal'tsit said that if you don't rest well, you might die."

Ifrit on the side rolled his eyes when he heard this, and after looking at Chen and Tallulah, he also put down the cup and spoon in his hand helplessly, and said lightly:

"You two probably have something to discuss. I'll avoid it."

"But don't talk too long. Chen Qi needs to rest. I'll be waiting outside."

Ifrit said this and slowly left the ward. Soon, only Chen Qi, Chen, and Tallulah were left in the ward.

Finally, Chen Qi couldn't help wondering in his heart and asked Chen:

"You guys are dressed like this... are you wearing the wrong clothes because you slept in the same bed?"

All we saw was the clothes that Tallulah was wearing at the moment. Although they were all black, a closer look at the police badge on the uniform revealed that the clothes were from the Lungmen Guards, and judging from the fit, they were custom-made.

And Chen's outfit overturned Chen Qi's expectations. It was a fitted outfit with alternating blue and white colors. However, no matter how Chen Qi looked at it, he felt that the clothes were very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere a long time ago?

...Maybe it was in Chen's closet? Chen Qi seemed to have remembered something. Maybe he saw this dress in Chen's closet when he was very young. It seemed to be very similar to this dress? But it was too long ago, and Chen Qi really couldn't remember it.

"That's what we're here to find out today."

Chen and Tallulah looked at each other, smiled at each other and said to Chen Qi.

"Xiao Qi, from today on, I will come to Rhodes Island as a cooperative operator and will obey your orders."

"And Xiaota will temporarily take over my position in the Longmen Guard Bureau and become Longmen's new senior superintendent."

"——Sir Chen, are you coming to Rhodes Island?"

However, Chen Qi's first feeling when he heard the news was surprise, and then he felt an inexplicable discomfort.

How to say it... Although he and Chen are no longer adoptive mother and son, there is still affection between them after all.

When he thought that his adoptive mother had become an operator under his command and was at his disposal like other operators... Chen Qi felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable.

Treat Chen like he ordered other operators? Don't be ridiculous. Not to mention Chen, Chen Qi himself couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.

You know, usually when Chen Qi gave orders to his operators... he was a bit rude. He was definitely a person with the aura of a superior. Normally, it was fine, but as soon as Chen Qi came, Chen Qi felt something was wrong.

"Xiao Chen was mainly worried about your safety. You suddenly fainted this time, and Xiao Chen was so scared that he almost fell down."

Seeing Chen Qi's expression was a little subtle, Tallulah smiled and explained, "So she came here out of obligation to take care of you and, of course, to protect your safety."

"I can't always be by your side, Xiao Chenqi, but I can feel much more at ease if Xiao Chen is by your side."

"……I see."

Chen Qi opened his mouth, but there was really nothing he could refute, so he could only accept this fact silently.

Sir Chen wants to join Rhodes Island...that's fine.

There are too many political issues involved in Longmen. Chen is not as smooth as Xingxiong, nor as sharp as Shi Huaiya. It can be said that among the three senior police superintendents, Chen is the least suitable for political struggles.

Coming to Rhodes Island is more dangerous than Lungmen, but at least she can stay away from those disgusting political things.

……

At this moment, outside the ward, Ifrit did not leave, but was silently listening to the conversation inside with his ears perked up.

However, after listening, Ifrit noticed a very important message.

——That Chen, is he going to join Rhodes Island?

"Hiss... It's a bit troublesome. I was really rude to her at that time..."

Ifrit gasped and couldn't help but start to have a headache. She could see that Chen held a very important place in Chen Qi's heart. After all, she was his adoptive mother. Although all the grudges were now written off, Chen Qi still valued the relationship with Chen.

Doesn't this mean...she still has to work hard to please Chen, the woman she had insulted when they first met?

"——Tsk, I'm a little unhappy."

"But if that's the case... there's nothing we can do."

Ifrit bit her fingernails and thought carefully, trying to think of a way to make up for her mistake and change the bad first impression she had in Chen's heart...

Chapter 76: Conversation in the corner, the current situation of Rhodes Island

Because of the last incident, Chen Qi's body had an unprecedented period of weakness that lasted for nearly half a month. With the careful care of a group of operators, he barely recovered from his weak state to a state that could be considered sub-healthy.

I have to say that the recovery of mental strength is indeed time-consuming. Simply taking a nap is of no use at all. Didn’t you see that Chen Qi has been in a coma for several days, and he still has no energy?

Mental power is as mysterious as the soul. People all have more or less experience with it and can sense its existence, but they don't know where to start.

At least for Chen Qi... the progress of his mental recovery was very slow. In the past half month, he had been troubled by states such as "powerlessness" and "weakness", and was in a "half-dead" state of illness.

But now, this state has become a thing of the past. He began to try to walk on the ground. Although he could not pick up Chi Xiao to fight again, there was no big problem for him to walk around Rhodes Island.

However, on this day, another person came to Rhodes Island without any warning.

"Old Chen!"

"...Star Bear?"

Chen, who was supporting Chen Qi in his daily rehabilitation training, saw the green-haired ghost lady walking towards them at the gate of Rhodes Island.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't move! Be careful not to fall!"

Seeing that Chen Qi seemed to have made some moves, Xingxiong increased his running speed a bit, put aside the Prajna he was carrying quickly, walked forward and pressed Chen Qi's arm, asking him to relax.

"…I am no longer a patient. I can walk."

"Don't do that. You are a man who can fight me several times with Chi Xiao in his hand. Now you have just started walking after rehabilitation training. In the eyes of your ghost sister, you are no different from a patient."

Xingxiong was also very worried about Chen Qi's current condition. Although Chen Qi seemed to have recovered a little these days, he was still a little thinner than before, and his face was still a little pale, which made Xingxiong feel distressed.

"Xingxiong, is there anything that brings you here?" Chen, who was supporting Chen Qi on the side, asked Xingxiong. She knew that Xingxiong was very busy and his daily affairs were no less than those of her, a senior superintendent.
