"It's too late." Xingxiong whispered to her, "Old Chen has already seen it. Although it was far away, he must have recognized it from his eyes. Later, Miss Lin sent an ambulance to take Bailang and another injured person away. Now the two of them are staring at each other. I dare not say anything."
Finished!
This was Shi Huaiya's only thought. It took her a while to wake up from the violent psychological fluctuations and remember that another imminent thing was still happening.
"Will Old Chen fight with Lin Yuxia? They have never gotten along well before..." she asked anxiously.
"It should be fine, she just stared blankly, which looks a little scary, but Miss Lin didn't do anything wrong, she just came out to see a patient, and Old Chen also has important things to do, so nothing will happen to him." Xing Xiong on the other end of the phone speculated cautiously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she shouted "wait for me", as if responding to someone, and then Shi Huaiya heard Xing Xiong say to her: "Old Chen called me to leave. Look, there's nothing to do. I'll go and get busy first. I'll contact you later."
"Okay, I'll contact you later."
Shi Huaiya silently put down her phone. She knew that everything was a foregone conclusion. What was coming would eventually come. After dealing with the mafia matters, Chen Huijie would definitely find Olicia. After that, she could only leave it to fate.
……
With the close cooperation of the Mafia, the Guards' operation went extremely smoothly. Before dawn, they had cleaned up the battlefield and even prepared the public relations copy that needed to be read on the news channel.
For Bai Lang, after Scareye's death, she found that the situation around her was becoming more and more chaotic. At that time, the Guards were doing the final cleanup of Scareye's men. Fortunately, no one rushed into the water plant where she was to make trouble, otherwise, she would definitely lose her temper.
Later, the ambulance sent by Miss Lin arrived, but Miss Lin herself was not in the car. She sent Bai Jin into the car and got in herself.
When the ambulance was leaving the scene, she saw Miss Lin from afar. She seemed to be confronting someone, but the distance was too far to see clearly, so she turned her attention to Bai Jin again.
After arriving at the hospital, Bai Lang immediately cooperated with the nurses to send Bai Jin to the operating room. After confirming that the other party was mainly suffering from excessive blood loss and that Rhine Life's potion was perfectly suitable for this situation, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, she finally had time to rest in the lounge. However, she had only sat down for a moment when she began to feel pain in her legs. She remembered that she was actually also a wounded person, and it was probably because of her previous performance that others mistakenly believed that she was fine.
After paying close attention, the pain in her legs quickly expanded and soon became unbearable. She gritted her teeth and limped into the infirmary. Everyone was probably busy at this time, and the infirmary was empty.
She found disinfectant, gauze, bandages and other trauma medicines, took them to the lounge, and bandaged herself. Fortunately, Scareye's fighting style was relatively stable. When he saw that something was wrong with her, he immediately stopped and prepared to defend himself. Therefore, the injury on her leg was not particularly serious and her bones were not broken.
As for the various minor scratches all over the body, they are minor problems and will heal automatically in a few days.
After treating the wound, she lay down on the sofa to rest for a while, but she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard a name - Chen Huijie. She was half asleep and half awake, wondering if she had heard this name somewhere before. Suddenly, a police superintendent with blue hair and dragon horns, wearing a Guards uniform, appeared in front of her, grabbed her collar and asked loudly: Who are you?
Bailang shuddered and suddenly woke up, realizing that he was still in the lounge. Officer Chen was just a dream. At this moment, the sunlight was slanting in from the window, illuminating the gray wooden tea set in the lounge. It was probably nine o'clock in the morning.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up and her stomach was not reacting yet, she had no intention of eating at all. Her first thought was to go and see how Bai Jin was doing.
There were very few patients in the private hospital, and she found Bai Jin's ward without any difficulty. She gently pushed open the door and saw that he was still sleeping, so she tiptoed to the bedside and took a look.
Bai Jin's complexion has improved a lot compared to last night, and he looks almost like a normal person. In terms of healing, the effect of Rhine Life's potion is indeed unique.
Bai Lang found a small stool in the room, moved it to the bed, and sat on it. He supported his chin with his left hand, took out his mobile phone with his right hand, and started to read the news casually.
Unsurprisingly, today's Longmen is still a day of peace and prosperity. The news reported that the strong wind somewhere in the early morning was caused by thermal circulation. Experts and scholars from the University of Victoria used professional terms that ordinary people could not understand to support this, and they all agreed that this was an unusual urban wind.
Bai Lang was watching with great interest when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She casually placed her cell phone on the table beside the bed and walked over to open the door.
Volume 3: Chapter 65: Certainty
The moment after opening the door, Bai Lang first felt that she was dazzled, and then suspected that she had not yet woken up. She could never have imagined that her second meeting with Officer Chen would be at this time. It was no exaggeration to say that she was caught off guard.
But the strange thing was that after a slight surprise, she quickly calmed down. She herself couldn't explain why she was so calm, as she was clearly terrified of seeing Officer Chen to the point of madness.
Shi Huaiya also came and stood two meters behind Officer Chen, her worried eyes always lingering on Officer Chen.
It seems that the two police superintendents may have a close relationship. Her previous guess was correct. Superintendent Shi plays the dual roles of Superintendent Longmen and the eldest daughter of the Dagu Group. She may know about Officer Chen and her other identities.
Bai Lang spoke calmly, in a voice that only they could hear: "Wait a moment."
She turned around, closed the door, and walked to the corridor, facing the two police officers again: "Excuse me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"About last night's case, Miss Bailang." Chen Huijie said impatiently. From the first moment she saw Bailang, the complex emotions of curiosity, excitement, confusion and surprise had been arousing her, but official business came first. No matter how anxious she was, she had to finish her official business first.
From the voice, it can be judged that this is Miss White Wolf who had communicated with her on the phone before. From the appearance, it can be confirmed that the other party is the Ursus noble she met that day. In addition, Miss White Wolf is also the key figure in last night's incident. The most important thing is that the other party knows something that she has always been eager to know.
How could there be such a coincidence, such a special and complicated person?
Bai Lang said earnestly, "I know part of what happened last night. Do you need to investigate me now? I understand. I will cooperate."
"Don't misunderstand me." Chen Huijie shook her head and showed the information in her hand to Bai Lang. "Someone has already vouched for you. You have made a great contribution to Longmen in this incident. We need to learn about this person from you."
The most obvious place on the left side of the information is a photo: Bai Jin is leaning against a yellowed sycamore tree alone with his eyes closed. Not far to the right, several mafia members with white roses on their chests are gathered together, talking about something.
"You want to ask Platinum?"
"So his name is Bai Jin." Chen Huijie nodded, marked the information, and then said seriously, "According to the existing information, Bai Jin seems to be an assassin brought by Scar Eyes. He is a dangerous person, but our evidence is limited. As the first eyewitness of the incident, we still need your testimony for the details."
"No." White Wolf shook his head without hesitation, "Never."
"Ms. White Wolf, this does not match the known situation. Please provide the real information."
"I'm sure. Bai Jin stood on our side, on Longmen's side, from the very beginning. Later, she pretended to join the other team in order to deal with Scar Eyes. If you don't believe it, go and see Scar Eyes' body. The arrow wound on his body is proof of that."
Indeed, Chen Huijie thought, there is no better evidence than Scar-Eye's body, the other party is right, Bai Jin can clear his suspicion with this. But she asked specifically because she suspected that there was something else going on. She frowned, looked at the information in her hand, and then looked at Bai Lang.
"Ms. White Wolf, are you sure that every word of your testimony is true?"
Bai Lang sighed and looked at Chen Huijie sincerely: "Don't worry, Officer Chen, I know this is a very important matter. Even if you ask me a hundred times, I will give the same answer."
Seeing the other party's sincere and clear attitude, the three arrows on Scar-Eye's body appeared in front of Chen's eyes again. Could this be a fake? She began to doubt whether she was overthinking it and decided not to pursue the matter further.
After the official business was over, another important thing came to mind. Chen Huijie's heart, which had originally calmed down because of the case, began to beat violently again.
Shi Huaiya had a premonition of what was going to happen next. She quietly took a few steps closer and stood behind Chen, staring at her best friend closely, anxiously waiting for that moment to come.
"Ms. Bailang, I have one more thing I need to ask you. It's a personal matter." Chen put away the information bag and looked Bailang seriously in the eyes.
Here it comes, White Wolf's heart skipped a beat, and the message given by Tallulah appeared in his mind again: the original owner of Olicia's identity was dead, and the culprit was Duke Cosice, who was later killed by Tallulah herself.
Everything is a tragedy. She is the fake Olicia. Although we don’t know what the relationship between Officer Chen and Olicia is, the two of them will never meet again.
She said calmly and solemnly: "Ask me, and I will tell you the truth."
Chen Huijie read the implicit message from Bai Lang's expression: He knew what she wanted to ask? The only possibility was that Bai Lang had anticipated all this and knew of her existence.
It is not wrong to think so. The fact that Tallulah can lend her things to others shows that the relationship between the two is very good, so it is normal for White Wolf to know her, just like Shi Huaiya and Xingxiong know that she has a half-sister.
When the words came to her lips, Chen Huijie suddenly became reserved again. She felt that it was strange for her to ask a stranger about her sister so seriously. She tried not to look into Bai Lang's eyes, turned her head, and spoke nervously and unnaturally: "Do you know who I'm talking about? How is she now?"
A long time later, on a rainy night, when White Wolf and Tallulah were dining in a small restaurant in the south of Ursus, Tallulah's casual recollection caused White Wolf to choke almost to death on a glass of water.
She will never forget that moment.
After listening to Officer Chen's nervous and excited words, her heart was suddenly filled with a feeling called compassion. She didn't dare to look at the other party's expectant eyes. She lowered her head slightly, stared at the ground, and spoke softly:
"Officer Chen, she's gone."
"What did you say?" Chen asked doubtfully. She immediately knew what the word 'gone' meant from Bai Lang's sad expression, but she didn't want to believe it.
"I'm sorry, but she's dead."
Chen's heart was stabbed. She stared at Bai Lang blankly: "I don't believe it. How is it possible? She is much stronger than me. How is it possible..."
"Kosice." White Wolf spoke again, "It was Kosice who did it."
Chen Huijie's face turned pale instantly. She had reasons to doubt the news before, but as soon as she heard the name Kosice, she knew that it was true.
Volume 3: Chapter 66: Clarifying the Misunderstanding
Shi Huaiya was also shocked. She remained silent from the beginning and played the role of a silent bystander. When her best friend fell into unspeakable pain, she remained sober. She had an important doubt.
"Ms. White Wolf, when you came back from Ursus that day..."
Bai Lang had been waiting for this question. In a sense, this was the source of all the misunderstandings. She stretched out her left arm, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed the coin-sized red source stone crystal on her arm.
"As you can see, I am an infected person. I need to use a special identity to disguise myself in Ursus, so you may have misunderstood something." She paused and smiled bitterly. "Officer Shi, I told you before that I am from Rhodes Island. There is a reason for this."
At this point, without Bai Lang saying anything more, Shi Huaiya naturally understood all the previous doubts. She knew why Bai Lang rushed to Rhodes Island the day after arriving at Longmen. This was not to escape from something, but a normal reaction of a patient.
She also figured out why she and Xingxiong both felt that the other party was not like an Ursus noble, because Bailang was not one at all. She only risked her noble identity because she had no other choice. Ordinary people like them naturally found it difficult to understand the hardships of the infected.
She then thought of how Bai Lang had helped to handle many cases when he was at Penguin Logistics, how he had called her late at night to report that he had hit a street lamp, how he had listened carefully to her talk about Longmen's business situation, and how he had been attacked by the mafia for his bravery...
Bai Lang did everything aboveboard, but as a senior superintendent of Longmen, she only gave him suspicion in return, including doubt, probing, and distrust from beginning to end. Until just now, she even forced him to reveal his identity as an infected person in order to clear his name.
Shi Huaiya, Shi Huaiya, when did you become such a person?
If Bai Lang knew what Shi Huaiya was thinking, he would probably be stunned and then feel guilty, because she knew that she was definitely not the kind of "five good citizens" in the usual sense.
After saying goodbye to the two superintendents, Bai Lang stood there in deep thought for a long time with her chin in her hand. She couldn't understand why the two superintendents looked so distraught when they left.
Officer Chen's state is easy to understand, as Olicia might be someone very important to the other party, but it is too strange that Officer Shi Huaiya seems to have lost her soul. She can't figure it out for the time being, so she decides to attribute it to her strong empathy ability. Such an Inspector Shi will definitely be an excellent inspector.
She returned to Platinum's ward and happened to see the doctor coming to check on the patient's condition, so she asked about Platinum's condition.
The result was that the actual situation was relatively serious due to excessive blood loss and untimely treatment. The doctor's advice was not to disturb the patient and let him rest more.
In just a few words, the other party discovered her injuries. Although they were not serious, the doctor obviously could not tolerate patients running around in her hospital. She pulled Bailang into the infirmary, handed her a potion and asked her to drink it, and then began to use medical Originium skills to treat the wound.
In the orange-yellow light, White Wolf felt the potion he drank turned into a heat current, spreading through his limbs and throughout his body, healing small wounds. The wound on his leg was more serious, but it healed in just a few minutes without leaving any scars.
She herself had seen many kinds of medical Originium skills, and this one of taking medicine first and then using the Originium skill was quite novel, so she asked casually, but she didn't know that it seemed like she asked a professional question.
"Medical Originium skills can't heal people out of thin air." The doctor said in an unquestionable tone, "Most medical Originium skills treat by stimulating the patient's body's self-healing instinct. If the injury to be treated is too severe, it will cause irreversible damage to the patient's body due to excessive consumption. This is also the reason why most medical Originium skills are more effective for young people and less effective for the elderly."
"But I've heard of many examples of using Originium techniques to treat extremely weak people or dying elderly people. According to what you said, it should be difficult to treat someone with poor physical condition." As a cooperative operator in Rhode Island's top medical group, White Wolf decisively raised an objection.
"Don't be impatient. Listen to me. There are two modes of traditional medical Originium skills. In addition to what I said before, the other mode is to protect the patient and damage the healer himself. The treatment effect of this mode varies according to the ability of the healer. It is said that the most powerful healer can even perform miracles of resurrection. But the more serious the injury to be cured, the greater the cost. My mentor calls it the principle of equivalent exchange."
Bai Lang felt as if she understood. In her eyes, the image of the doctor was infinitely elevated, and she turned into a big shot in the medical field. She couldn't help but ask, "You just cured my injury. Which mode did you use?"
"Neither." The doctor proudly took out a potion and said, "It's this that has to pay the price. As a medical practitioner, I only need to stimulate the effect of the drug."
She then stood up, put her hands behind her white coat, and walked back and forth in the infirmary.
"The mentor said that the combination of modern medicine and Originium skills is the future of the medical industry. The traditional school that only advocates Originium skills will sooner or later decline; radicals such as Rhine Life pay too much attention to pharmaceutical research and do not know how to adapt. Time will eventually prove that only our Victorian School is the orthodoxy of the future!"
This is terrible, this is terrible, Bai Lang muttered to herself, not knowing how Hemer and the others would feel when they heard this. She keenly felt that it would be best for her not to get involved in this kind of topic.
"Miss Doctor, what you said really opened my eyes. How about I recommend you to go to Rhodes Island? There are many experts like you there, such as Warfarin, Mr. Blood, you know him, and Hemer from Rhine Life, and..."
"No." The doctor was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed and she shook her head hurriedly, "You should go find my tutor. I, I'm very busy."
$
She handed Bailang a mentor's business card and slipped away eagerly.
Bai Lang knew very well that being busy was definitely an excuse. There were very few patients in Miss Lin's private hospital. But she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she took a quick look and put the thing in her pocket.
The title on the business card was Professor of Life Science Research Center, Graduate School, Victoria National University. Victoria has maintained an excellent academic tradition since ancient times, and its academic titles are highly recognized internationally. White Wolf planned to show it to Kal'tsit when he returned to Rhode Island to broaden her horizons.
Volume 3: Chapter 67 Gift
Bai Lang returned to her ward again. She now felt that this place was more like a high-end hotel with medical equipment than a ward. At least, the living experience was first-class.
There were a few boxes at the door of the room, which she brought into the room. One of the boxes contained breakfast, a simple combination of milk, bread, and cheese. No one knew when it was put there, but it was still hot when she opened it.
In the other box was a set of clothes, and this scene seemed to have happened not long ago.
Considering that all her injuries had been treated, she took a shower after eating and began to change her clothes skillfully. During this period, she couldn't help but get a few complaints. I don't know how much Miss Lin likes black stockings. Not only did she wear them herself, but she also gave others clothes of the same type.
When Bai Lang thought of Miss Lin, she felt it necessary to say hello to her. Last night in the ambulance, the driver told her that Miss Lin was busy dealing with mafia matters and she didn't know how she was doing now.
After changing her clothes, a nurse happened to pass by the door. She seized the opportunity to ask about Lin Yuxia's condition. The nurse said that Miss Lin was currently on the first floor.
Bai Lang thanked them and went down the stairs to the first floor. Just as she was about to search along the corridor one by one, she suddenly heard Miss Lin's voice coming from the room not far away on the left.
No need to look for it now.
She walked to the door and knocked gently. When she heard Miss Lin's voice stop, she pushed the door open and looked inside.
In addition to Lin Yuxia, there were seven or eight other people in black suits and leather shoes in the room, sitting in a circle around the conference table. When they saw Bai Lang poking his head in, they all turned their attention to her.
"Uh." White Wolf smiled awkwardly, "I think I came at the wrong time."
"No, I was planning to come find you later. Please wait a moment." Lin Yuxia turned her head and faced the participants at the round table again. "Does anyone have any questions? If not, let's disband here."
"No more, miss."
"I understand."
The participants stood up and left the room, bowing to White Wolf as they passed the door.
