Chapter 525: Being Chivalrous

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the doctor’s office, Quan Shaoteng was wearing a clean white doctor’s coat and was taking a nap at his desk.

He was on night duty and had stayed awake the whole night.

Nothing happened during the night.

“Little Teng, go and take a rest.” The department head, Director Ye, smiled as he persuaded Quan Shaoteng. “You don’t have anything now anyway, just go.”

Director Ye was their contact person from the hospital. He knew that Quan Shaoteng had stayed up all night and kindly advised him to get a rest.

Quan Shaoteng almost slept and when he heard that, he quickly lifted his head.

When he saw that it was Director Ye, he waved his hands. “It’s alright, it’s alright. I’ll just rest here for a while.”

Cheng Zheng also entered the doctor’s office and saw that the latter’s eyes were red from lack of sleep. “Don’t be so hard on yourself! Go take a rest.”

For this mission, only Cheng Zheng and Quan Shaoteng were the ‘doctors’. Miao Zichen and Mei Xin were the ‘nurses’. The other Operation team members took on roles like janitors and other support staff.

Quan Shaoteng took a sidelong glance at him.

Cheng Zheng wore a pair of gla.s.ses for this mission. He looked refined with a fountain pen clipped in front of the doctor’s coat. Anyone who saw him would treat him as the doctor.

He really looked no different from a real doctor!

Quan Shaoteng suddenly puffed a sigh and let out a yawn. “It’s too troublesome being so good-looking. Looks like the attempt to look like a doctor failed.”

Was he talking about himself?

Cheng Zheng: “…”

He didn’t say anything but his expression told Quan Shaoteng that he should go for a rest.

The latter rejected. “They might appear the moment I go for a rest. If anything happens, I can’t take responsibility.”

“I’m right here,” replied Cheng Zheng, “if there’s anything, I’ll call you right away.”

Quan Shaoteng shrugged with a smile. “Call? That would be too late.”

He got up slowly and patted his forehead. “I’ll go make a round. Walking will sober me up!”

When it comes to work, he was also an obstinate person.

Cheng Zheng pursed his lips as he looked at his back view but did not say another word.

In order to cooperate with the operation, Cui Jiaying’s ward was installed with a 360-degree monitoring surveillance camera, which was directly connected to the Intelligence Department of Serious Crime Division One.

But Quan Shaoteng was still worried and did not want to leave his post unnecessarily.

He went out of the doctor’s office and gave Bai Muchuan a phone call about the situation there. When he wanted to go back to the doctor’s office for a short nap, he saw Miao Zichen coming out from a ward and head to the doctor’s office directly.

Cheng Zheng was inside the doctor’s office.

Quan Shaoteng saw that the two of them seemed intimate, he touched his forehead and suddenly thought of Mei Xin.

He thought for a while and left quietly, walking back to Cui Jiaying’s ward. He looked inside at the ward without making any sound.

Mei Xin was doing her job quietly without any expression as she guarded Cui Jiaying, she was very serious about it.

Isn’t she an idiot? he thought.

Look at Miao Zichen, she knew that Cheng Zheng should be in the doctor’s office and went directly to look for him.

And what about her? She was staying guard here. No wonder she got dumped.

Tch! Tch!

Quan Shaoteng looked at her with sympathy then returned to the office.

He knocked on the door and directly interrupted them.

“Cheng Zheng!”

Cheng Zheng looked up, his eyebrows furrowed. “What’s up?”

Quan Shaoteng walked over to them slowly. He took a glance at him then at Miao Zichen. “What are you both talking so happily about?”

Miao Zichen seemed startled. She didn’t expect that Captian Quan would ask such a question and… his tone didn’t sound friendly at all.

“You won’t be able to understand even if I told you about it,” sneered Cheng Zheng, “is there really a need to tell you?”

Tch! Quan Shaoteng sat on his chair slowly and crossed his legs. “If you don’t tell me, how would you know I don’t understand? I’m someone who is most knowledgeable and knows many things… For instance, I know people like you, seemingly decent looking and all but actually a sc.u.mbag inside.”

Cheng Zheng: “…”

Sc.u.mbag? Cheng Zheng didn’t look pleased.

“Quan Shaoteng, what exactly do you want?”

He sat with his back straight and pointed at the table full of doc.u.ments. “I have work to do,” he showed an unfriendly smile. “If you don’t have any business with me, please go.”

Quan Shaoteng let out a laugh. “Of course I don’t have any business, I’m very free.”

Looking at the coldness in his eyes, Cheng Zheng was silent for a moment. He was suppressing his anger and seriously asked a question. “Have I offended you?”

Quan Shaoteng showed a half-smile. “You didn’t offend me.”

“Then why are you picking on me for the past few days?”

Quan Shaoteng showed a bewildered expression. “Me? Did I?”

“An honest man says nothing deceitful,” said Cheng Zheng, “why do you keep finding fault?”

Finding fault?

Quan Shaoteng didn’t expect that.

He didn’t really think that he was finding fault.

It was just that when he saw Cheng Zheng and Miao Zichen seemed to be close to each other and thought of how lonely Mei Xin was as she guarded the ward. He felt that Cheng Zheng was not a good person by getting involved with two women. He was totally being chivalrous, there was no personal feud.

“There’s no reason.” Quan Shaoteng let out a yawn with a nonchalant att.i.tude. “I just don’t feel good when I saw you.”

Cheng Zheng felt speechless.

“Forget it. Continue to enjoy your ‘fulfiling life’ ¹ . It’s none of my business anyway.”

Quan Shaoteng felt that there was no point talking to him, and left after saying that.

“…” Cheng Zheng’s expression turned gloomy.

Miao Zichen took a glance at the two of them. “Senior Cheng, why did this person treat you this way?”

Cheng Zheng snorted coldly. “How would I know what he was trying to pull?”

Miao Zichen replied in a half-joking, half-serious manner, “Did you happen to s.n.a.t.c.h his girlfriend or something?”

Cheng Zheng’s eyebrows crumpled together and started to flip through the doc.u.ments in front of him. “He’s always very random and unreasonable! I never did anything like that, don’t listen to his bulls.h.i.+t.”

“Orh!” Miao Zichen looked at Cheng Zheng in a gentle manner. “So that time he said that you have a girlfriend, is that true?”

This matter had been bugging Miao Zichen for days but she didn’t dare to raise it up.

Finally, with this opportunity, she was able to ask this important question.

Cheng Zheng did not even look up. “No.”

Miao Zichen: “Really? If so, do you have someone you like?”

Cheng Zheng adjusted his gla.s.ses and took a glance at her. “Where did we stop earlier?”

Miao Zichen replied, ” The investigation of kins.h.i.+p relations.h.i.+ps for Short Tandem Repeat(STR) Loci…”

Cheng Zheng answered, “Right.” And he spoke eloquently with his eyebrows lowered and had a serious look.

Miao Zichen looked at his eyes, unable to guess how he was feeling then. Nonetheless, she was clear that he had deliberately avoided her earlier question—

Avoidance means yes.

Hmm, so he has someone he likes huh? she concluded.

Who is that? Miao Zichen was quite curious.

…

Ding! There was a notification from the Gossip group chat.

A message came in.

Xiang Wan took a look.

Quan Shaoteng: “This is too boring. I’m so tired that I’m dozing off. Is there anyone who woke up early and have nothing to do? Come out and chat with this young master?”

It was half-past seven in the morning.

Salimu woke up early and didn’t have many tasks on hand. He almost instantly replied.

“Captain Quan, I remember that you’re a very energetic person. Why are you so tired in the morning?”

Not everyone in Serious Crime Division One knew what the Operations Team was busy with.

Salimu happened to be someone who didn’t know about the mission.

Hence, he didn’t know what Quan Shaoteng was doing.

Of course, Quan Shaoteng would not tell him that he had not slept a wink last night. “I didn’t sleep well last night. I have insomnia.”

Salimu said with concern, “This is a sickness, you have to get it treated.”

Quan Shaoteng was irritated. “… You’re the bleeping one who’s sick! I should have delivered you a more powerful fist yesterday.”
