Volume 3: Chapter 44: Household Affairs

After she figured things out, her emotions stabilized and she was able to observe the situation in the ward.

On the left side of the room there was a prominent red sandalwood floor-length mirror, in which a white wolf, wearing a fluffy silk hospital gown, looked at her curiously.

She touched her nose, pulled her clothes in front of the mirror, turned back boredly, walked around the bed that could sleep two people, and went to the medical equipment on the left, intending to tinker with it.

But the medical records on the table attracted her attention, so she gave up the idea of ​​studying medical equipment and picked up the light blue paper.

It clearly stated her diagnosis last night: her left arm was pierced, she had lost too much blood, and it was extremely dangerous. The medication column said "Rhine Solvent α-5". She had heard of this thing before. It was mentioned in the company brochure of Rhine Life. It was said that it could restore human functions in a very short time and had no side effects. The only problem was that it was expensive.

Only then did she notice that she had been full of energy and had not felt any discomfort since she woke up. It turned out that her injuries had been completely healed by this thing.

Although there had been unpleasant things between her and Rhine Life, she had to honestly admit that the performance of this potion was unique in the whole of Terra, and the reputation of this company was not blown by the wind.

Generally speaking, when the pressure reaches a certain level, it is equal to no pressure. Ever since Bai Lang saw the 'Rhine Solvent α-5', she didn't care about the medical expenses at all. She couldn't afford it anyway, so why bother herself.

The unit price of this medicine was in the six digits if calculated in Lungmen coins, and like the inhibitors from Rhodes Island, it was something that was out of stock. How could she have the right to use this thing?

With a desperate attitude, she happily turned on the LCD TV in the ward and prepared to watch some news.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Miss Lin, whom I met yesterday, walked in leisurely.

"Ms. Lin, good morning." Bai Lang waved and greeted her, feeling a wave of guilt at the same time.

The other party saved her and spent a lot of medical expenses on her, but she was determined to avoid paying the money. It's really shameful.

Hey, this isn't right. Didn't we agree to just give up? Well, White Wolf, you need to be thicker-skinned. You can do this! She began to cheer herself up secretly.

"Morning, Miss Bailang." Lin Yuxia smiled tiredly. She had been busy all night and had no time to rest. "You should have a lot of questions now. If you have any questions, I will try my best to tell you."

Bai Lang wanted to ask about the medical expenses immediately, but reason stopped her from doing so. There were more important things to discuss now.

She looked at Miss Lin, shook her head and replied, "No."

Lin Yuxia looked at her in confusion.

"You look very tired. Take a rest first." White Wolf pointed at the room and said, "This ward has good facilities. It's a good place to rest."

Lin Yuxia didn't notice that this was actually a kind of self-deception. She waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I'm not a spoiled young lady. So many things have happened. If you're not curious, it must be fake. Just ask me and I'll tell you everything."

"That's not necessary. Miss Lin, just briefly explain it and I'll just listen."

"Ms. Bailang, you are such an interesting person." Lin Yuxia looked at Bailang with interest, "Then let me briefly tell you. Last night, after you used that Originium skill, you and others should have turned into ice sculptures. Later, a powerful warlock brought you out of the ice sculpture. When I found you, you were lying on the ground, so I asked my men to drive you here. Oh, by the way, the people from Penguin Logistics called to ask about you. At that time, Shi Huaiya also came to see you, and she reported your safety to them on your behalf."

"That's good. It saves them from worrying. Speaking of which, Chief Inspector Shi is such a good person." Bai Lang nodded with emotion.

"Why do you say that?" Lin Yuxia sat up straight and asked happily.

"I was at the Guards Bureau that time and happened to talk about the company we were planning. Superintendent Shi Huaiya generously shared a lot of useful experience. She is very capable and knows the economic situation of Longmen very well."

"Of course, Shi Huaiya is a professional in this area. What else?"

Bai Lang glanced at the anxious Miss Lin strangely, and tapped his chin with his index finger thoughtfully: "By the way, she is also the most active and dedicated police superintendent I have ever met. That day, I told her about my experience staying in a hotel in Longmen. After hearing the price, Superintendent Shi Huaiya suspected that the person in charge of the hotel maliciously raised the price to defraud consumers. At that time, he asked me to report the exact address and said that he would investigate it thoroughly."

"This shouldn't happen. The Imperial Guard has been checking very strictly. Which hotel is so bold?"

"The Dagu Hotel. They probably took advantage of their wealth and power to bully others. Now they have offended Officer Shi Huaiya. They will definitely be in big trouble."

Lin Yuxia widened her eyes in astonishment: "This is so cruel? Even her own family members?"

???

Bai Lang asked carefully with confusion: "Ms. Lin, what does 'family' mean?"

"Isn't Dagu Group hers?" Lin Yuxia said casually. Bai Lang's shocked expression made her realize that something was wrong. "You, don't you know this?"

"do not know."

Lin Yuxia thought about it and said with reminiscence: "That's right, she usually takes care of other people's emotions and doesn't like others to know that she is rich. It was like this when she was in school."

"She is such a kind-hearted person." Bai Lang gave Shi Huaiya another good guy card, but his mood was completely different the first time and the second time.

The first time she gave a frank and sincere evaluation, but this time she felt uneasy.

Miss Lin didn't know the details of her conversation with Shi Huaiya and took it for granted that everything was normal. However, Bai Lang, who had experienced it personally, felt a strange sense of disharmony - Shi Huaiya seemed to be deliberately creating a personality that had nothing to do with the Dagu Group. At the same time, he used this personality to ask her many questions about the Dagu Group.

No, it’s not about the Dagu Group, but something related to her, Bailang!

Why is this? Is it a coincidence or is there another plot? What could there be in her that would make this rich lady plot against her?

Lin Yuxia suddenly changed the subject: "Ms. Bailang, do you really have nothing to ask? For example, my identity or something like that."

"No, I don't want to." Bai Lang pulled himself out of his thoughts and shook his head repeatedly, "Not at all, Miss Lin, you are the president of the Young Entrepreneurs Association, and I am an ordinary entrepreneur. I know enough."

Lin Yuxia had no choice but to nod: "Okay, you should know that it's very dangerous outside now. You can stay here for a few days, and I will send you back when it's over."

For Bai Lang, she came to Longmen for more important things and had no time to get entangled in such troubles. If she could easily avoid it, she would still be willing to hide.

So she agreed to Lin Yuxia's proposal, and then couldn't help asking: "I want to know, what kind of thing is it?"

Miss Lin smiled mysteriously: "Housework."

Before she had time to explain, she received a phone call. She nodded apologetically and hurriedly left with her phone.

Volume 3: Chapter 45: The Visit of Shi Huaiya

After Lin Yuxia left, Bai Lang immediately reported her safety to everyone at Penguin Logistics. In order to avoid others worrying, she did not mention the attack by the mafia last night, but only said that she needed to stay outside for a few days to handle company affairs.

After hanging up the phone, she walked to the window, opened it, and looked out. Not far away was the crown of a big tree covered with yellow leaves. She was on the third floor, and if she jumped out from here, she could just climb up the tree.

A gust of wind blew, and the branches of the big tree swayed in front of her. The golden leaves fell with the wind, like countless golden butterflies. She sighed silently: Unknowingly, it is already late autumn.

The chill brought by the late autumn wind forced her to close the windows, and she also realized that she was still wearing a loose and unwarm hospital gown.

I can't go out wearing this, I need to change my clothes.

Although she planned to stay with the mysterious Miss Lin for a few days, it was not like going to jail. Her injuries had improved, so there was no reason for her to stay in the ward and not go out.

It would be great if Miss Lin could prepare a set of clothes for her, she muttered to herself, searching around the room, and actually found a set of clothes on the wooden carved shelf against the wall.

The clothes were packed in a box, with a note on top. The handwriting on the note was very sloppy, and the person who wrote it must have been absent-minded.

"I just picked up some clothes from a nearby store. Miss White Wolf can use them for emergency purposes. - Lin"

This should be what Miss Lin left last night. I just came over and forgot to tell her about it. Bai Lang thought while taking out clothes, a gray-white coat, a white T-shirt, and black pantyhose. Well, it is a standard outfit that conforms to the mainstream aesthetics of Terra.

There was nothing for her to complain about as she was penniless, so she threw her clothes on the bed, carefully locked the door, then quickly took off her hospital gown, removed the nameplate hanging on her new clothes, and quickly began to change.

In fact, if she had a choice, Miss White Wolf would definitely stay away from things like stockings. She is a conservative person, in a sense, to the point of being too conservative.

So, when she wore this pair of stockings, she was under tremendous psychological pressure and felt very awkward. But she must admit that the first time she wore it, it left a deep impression on her.

It was really hard to describe the tight, comfortable feeling of having her legs completely wrapped. The second was the smoothness. When her legs touched each other, the stockings rubbed against each other, creating a wonderful silky touch that made her unable to stop. She unconsciously stroked it with her hand, closing her eyes for a while to experience the tight and smooth feeling.

No, no, she suddenly shook her head vigorously. It was just a piece of clothing. She acted like she had never seen the world before. What was there to be excited about? If the Angels knew about this, they would definitely laugh at her.

She jumped off the bed and took two steps casually. The experience was very good. This kind of clothes could maximize the agility, but she didn't know how wear-resistant it was. Of course, it was definitely not as good as her previous 'Land of Life' series.

After summarizing the various features of this kind of clothes, Bai Lang gave a final evaluation in her mind: it is not as convenient as her previous clothes, but its outstanding performance in some aspects cannot be ignored. In short, it can be worn sometimes, preferably when you don’t go out much.

In addition to the clothes, there was a pair of white silk gloves at the bottom of the box. Since it was placed here, it should be a gift from Miss Lin. She picked up the gloves and felt that the material was different from what she had imagined. It had a strange softness and should not be silk. She was not an expert in identifying materials, so she didn't waste any more time and stuffed the gloves directly into her pocket.

After tidying himself up, Bai Lang took a magazine, sat by the window, and waited quietly for Officer Shi Huaiya to come over.

She had already begun to doubt this enthusiastic police officer. He must have other purposes for being so active with her. Combined with the fact that she had used the identity of Lord Ursus when she was spending money at the Dagu Group, Shi Huaiya might have suspected that she was Olicia. But what was the meaning of all this? A small Lord Ursus could not have any influence on a multinational company like the Dagu Group. Why did the other party pay special attention to her?

Fortunately, Shi Huaiya didn't know that she had begun to suspect him. If she continued to pretend to know nothing, she might be able to find a way to get some information from him. She was in the dark, and Shi Huaiya was in the light. This was her biggest advantage.

Alas, it has only been a short time since she came to Longmen, and she has already started a battle of wits and courage with two senior police superintendents. She, the White Wolf, is quite powerful. Thinking of this, she began to be intoxicated with her careful planning, and she became a little inflated. She now felt that she was about to stand at the top of the food chain in Longmen.

This expansion continued until she saw Shi Huaiya through the window and then stopped abruptly.

Officer Shi came out of a luxurious red sports car. She closed the door casually, took off her sunglasses and put them in her bag, looked around, and then walked towards the hospital building in a cool manner.

Bai Lang suddenly remembered the fact that she was penniless. In Longmen, a city where money is the only thing recognized, she couldn't even afford a taxi. How could she be qualified to be compared with Shi Huaiya, the heir to a big consortium? Not to mention the top of the food chain, she was just a small shrimp and could only hide here with Miss Lin and tremble in fear for the time being.

Before Bai Lang had a chance to finish feeling sad, Shi Huaiya rushed to the third floor in a swift and decisive manner. She did not meet Lin Yuxia on the way and went straight to Bai Lang's ward.

Miss Bailang might have woken up by now, Shi Huaiya thought, and just knocked on the door.

"Come in." A listless voice came from the room.

Shi Huaiya pushed the door, but it didn't budge, and the door handle wouldn't go down, so she shouted again:

"Ms. Bailang, I'm Shi Huaiya. Why can't you open the door?"

"Oh, I forgot. Wait a moment." There was a bang in the room, as if something was hit, and then there was the sound of a trotting person coming over, and then the door was opened, revealing Miss White Wolf's head.

"come on in."

"Well, okay." Shi Huaiya hurried into the room and closed the door again. When she turned around, Bai Lang was already sitting on the chair by the window, with the magazine placed horizontally on his thighs, looking at her straight.

Shi Huaiya noticed that there was a medical journal on Miss Bailang's legs, but the way she was waiting to be investigated made her feel inexplicably pressured. She always felt like her identities had been reversed and she was the one being interrogated.

"Superintendent Shi Huaiya, please feel free to ask me about what happened yesterday. I will tell you everything I know."

"Ms. Bailang, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you directly. You are the victim, but we still need to find you to understand some circumstances." Shi Huaiya sat on another chair, looked up at Bailang and said apologetically. She suddenly felt that her chair seemed to be a little shorter than the other's.

Volume 3: Chapter 46: An Ordinary Warlock

"I understand." White Wolf nodded. "What happened yesterday was indeed incredible. I hope I didn't disturb anyone."

"Don't worry, Miss Bailang. This won't have much of an impact. Miss Lin has already helped us deal with the aftermath. Speaking of which, the ability you used yesterday was really astonishing."

If it was the White Wolf from before, she would most likely be humble at this time, but at this moment she had doubts about Shi Huaiya's purpose, and the other party's words became an attempt to get information in her eyes!

Her spirit became excited, she looked at Shi Huaiya steadily, suddenly narrowed one eye, smiled mysteriously and said: "Officer Shi, as you can see, I am a sorcerer."

"Warlock?"

"Yes, Officer Shi seems very surprised."

"Haha, some of your temperament is a bit similar to that of a friend of mine. Her weapon is a sword, so I naturally thought..."

"You have a good eye. I did practice swordsmanship for a few days, but my level was more subtle."

"What do you mean?" Shi Huaiya asked actively. If Olisia really made some achievements in swordsmanship, then it would make sense to take away Lao Chen's sister's weapon.

"Well, speaking of this, even an old man who has been retired for many years and has a white beard and hair can beat me dizzy."

Shi Huaiya looked at the other party's depressed expression and felt that this sentence was not false. It seemed that Olisia or Miss White Wolf was a typical warlock, that is, the kind with almost zero melee ability.

At the crime scene yesterday, there were only traces of Miss White Wolf using a bow and arrow and Originium skills, which could serve as evidence. This is very strange. What does it mean for a warlock to carry a sword when he came to Longmen by flying? Is it a decoration?

"But my Originium skills are still quite impressive." White Wolf continued to happily fire the Stun Bomb.

Shi Huaiya's energy was already highly concentrated. She praised cautiously: "Well, that level of ability is not something that ordinary people can display. It's rare to find someone as powerful as Miss Bailang."

White Wolf turned his head and rejected it: "No, it's actually quite a lot."

"what?"

"Please allow me to introduce Rhodes Island to you, Superintendent Shi Huaiya. I said I am from there, but in fact, I am just a nobody in Rhodes Island."

"This..." Shi Huaiya looked at Miss Bailang who was very serious, not knowing how to respond.

"There are many people in Rhode Island who are much more powerful than me. Have you heard of the Scimitar of Bloody Canyon?"

"No."

"That's a legend, so let's not talk about it. I'll tell you what I actually saw. Officer Shi Huaiya, have you ever seen someone who can split huge waves, shatter mountains, and create rifts with a sword without any expression?" At this time, White Wolf was thinking about the bounty hunter's autobiography that Miss Skadi told her.

"No."

"There are people like this in Rhodes Island!" Then White Wolf thought of the legend about the elite operator Huang in Rhodes Island, "Have you ever seen a warrior who rushed to help from thousands of miles away, led the team to attack, won every battle, and could jump three stories high in one go?"

"No." Shi Huaiya said blankly.

"There are people in Rhodes Island! These are not lies. I have seen the people I just mentioned with my own eyes. My ability is nothing compared to them. Officer Shi Huaiya, there are many such people in Rhodes Island. You can have as many as you want."

Shi Huaiya was really shocked. She didn't expect to hear such a big secret all of a sudden. Wouldn't Lao Chen be in danger in Rhodes Island? Her face turned pale because of panic.

"Officer Shi, are you worried about something?" Bai Lang suddenly asked.

"Of course." Shi Huaiya nodded, and then she realized that she shouldn't have such a reaction, so she asked hurriedly, "Why did you say that?"

"I guessed it from your expression. After I told you about Rhodes Island, you suddenly looked very nervous. Anyone could tell."

"Yes, is that so?" Shi Huaiya breathed a sigh of relief. As long as White Wolf didn't see anything else, it would be fine. She then thought that Rhodes Island had always been a legal enterprise, so there must be no problem. She was just worried and confused.

Shi Huaiya calmed down and tried to explain in a calm tone: "I have a friend who is going to Rhode Island to work, so I was a little worried when I heard you say that. Well, she will be there next week." In order to prevent Bai Lang from associating it with Chen Huijie, she deliberately lied that a friend was going there next week.
