On a rare holiday, Jiang Yue Lou, whose original plan was to slack off at home and read a book, was now glancing at Sun Yongren sitting askew on the sofa, who was throwing peanuts into his mouth one after one. This scene suddenly gave him the illusion that he was still in his office at the police station.
“You said you wanted some days off, so why did the two of you come again to my place?” asked Jiang Yue Lou as he tossed his book over. It was caught in the air by a chuckling Sun Yongren, who handed it back to him.
Song Rong was sitting in the doorway playing with Xiao Bai, “It’s really rare for us to be on vacation, so we are not used to it. That’s why that fat guy took me with him to visit you. ”
“I miss you so much, Boss!” Sun Yongren patted the peanuts that had fallen on him, putting on his best loyal lackey face.”And, it’s been such a long time since we had a decent meal together, isn’t it?”
Jiang Yue Lou laughed, “I think you just missed my money. Our salaries were just sent to us yesterday and you surprisingly came to see me today… All right, what do you want to eat? My treat. ”
Sun Yongren cheered, “Boss, it’s so cold today! How about a hot spot *? ”
The hot pot in winter was indeed quite tempting, Song Rong also agreed, “Sounds good.”
“All right, then you should go and buy the food for the pot.” Jiang Yue Lou suggested while he was standing up and walking out.
“Then where are you going? Boss? ”
Jiang Yue Lou didn’t turn his head back, “I’m going to ask Yu Zhi to join us.”
Looking at the back of his boss as he was leaving, Sun Yongren, scratched his head, wondering from the bottom of his heart, “When did Dr. Chen become Yu Zhi?”
Song Rong gave him a blank look and walked away with Xiao Bai in his arms, whispering to him, “A’Bai, you can’t play with fools or you’ll become stupid.”
But fortunately, even if Sun Yongren was a bit silly in some aspects, he was very clever about anything related to food. At nightfall, a hot pot had been set up in Jiang Yue Lou’s house, with the red oil soup base boiling in the pot, surrounded by fresh meat and green vegetables, which made people’s fingers tingle.
Sun Yongren took a big bite of meat and sighed comfortably, “Days without work are the most comfortable ones ~ when Jingcheng will be finally opium-free, Sun Yongren will enjoy eating meat every single day ~”
Listening to him, Jiang Yue Lou laughed and cursed “Please do not.”
Sun Yongren replied with a cheeky smile, “I’m a layman, and I’m not looking too much. Just eating nicely, having enough clothes to wear, and if one day I find a beautiful girl to accompany me, I’ll be completely satisfied. ”
Chen Yu Zhi lowered his head and smiled lightly, “Yes, enjoying the simple things and the small moments of happiness in this world is the best.”
Everyone in this world has some little wishes in his heart and will be blessed to have the kind of life that Sun Yongren just described, especially in such troubled times.
The red soup in the hot pot was now gurgling. Looking at the two men sitting opposite to him through the mist, Song Rong couldn’t help but query, “Doctor Chen, what about you?”
When Song Rong asked this question, Jiang Yue Lou stopped breathing and didn’t dare to turn his head to the other person while he was waiting for his answer.
Chen Yu Zhi smiled. His dearest wish was very simple, “Just saving one person, one person is enough.”
Only then, Jiang Yue Lou started breathing again and continued to eat with a slight smile of relief.
Sun Yongren’s mouth was scalded by the hot green vegetables, but that didn’t prevent him from quickly slurping his food and praising, “It’s the benevolence of the healers after all. But your life purpose is similar to that of your boss. He wants Jingcheng to be opium-free, and you dedicated your life to curing the sick*. I think we should find a painter to draw the portrait of the two of you, and stick it to the citadel of the city gate and make you the Patron Saint of Jingcheng to deceive people. ”
Jiang Yue Lou kicked Sun Yongren under the table, “You can’t stop your mouth even when you’re eating.”
Bitterly regretting his previous words, Sun Yongren, a little downcast, ate another piece of meat to compensate, but Song Rong, who rarely cooperated with him, got along with him this time by adding, “Boss, don’t you have a camera at home?”
Enthusiastic again, Sun Yongren immediately coaxed, “It’s better to take a picture. One is a fighter, the other is a scholar, two sides of the same coin protecting the law.”
Jiang Yue Lou tried to kick him again, but this time Sun Yongren had some sort of premonition and jumped right in time to avoid it, “I’ll get the camera now.”
“It would be nice to take a photo,” Chen Yu Zhi put down his chopsticks, “We didn’t take one last time when we went hiking, don’t you still feel a little regretful about that?”
Sun Yongren, who came back with his camera at the same time, was pleased to hear this, “Come on, Boss, I’ll make up for your regrets!”
With a shutter click, the camera captured this moment, a beautiful moment full of fireworks, with Jiang Yue Lou and Chen Yu Zhi sitting side by side, protecting the river and the mountain, as well as each other.
In an exquisite western-style bar, Zhan Jun Bai and a short-haired woman sat face to face across the table and were sizing each other up.
The person with Zhan Jun Bai was a middle-aged woman. Her makeup was exquisite and sassy, she didn’t look old and was still really beautiful. But there was a murderous aura in her eyebrows that couldn’t be seen on an ordinary woman’s face.
She was the first to speak, “I can’t believe it, San Ye looks so young, the way I see it, it would be more appropriate to call you San Shao Ye *.”
Zhan Jun Bai lifted his wine glass and shook it, “It doesn’t matter whether it’s appropriate or not, It’s just a name. Madam Jiang seems so passionate, that her “Snake Lady” name doesn’t sound appropriate either. ”
This “Snake Lady” was the “assassin” that Zhan Jun Bai had specifically requested. She was the second wife of an active drug dealer in Southeast Asia. After her husband’s death a year ago, she quickly took over all of his businesses, earning her nickname because of her viciousness and cruelty. But Zhan Jun Bai didn’t recruit here because of that. What he liked about this “Snake Lady” was her name Jiang, like the Jiang of Jiang Yue Lou.
“There is nothing about this Jiang Yue Lou before he was fourteen. Is there anything missing in this document? “, she asked while putting the file back in the envelope.
Zhan Jun Bai took a sip of wine and explained, “He was adopted by Bai Jinbo at the age of sixteen and he joined the police to accompany Bai Jinbo from his post as a section chief to the Head of the department today. As for his past, I am afraid that, except for Bai Jinbo, no one knows. ”

As this matter was now settled, Zhan Jun Bai had no intention of staying longer, so after finishing the wine, he got up and walked to the door. Just when he was about to leave, Mrs. Jiang behind him suddenly said, “San Ye, help me inquire about someone.”
Zhan Jun Bai turned around and looked at Madam Jiang, waiting for her to continue.
Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and seemed to gather enough courage before saying a name, “Kang Shengan.”
“Kang Shengan”, Zhan Jun Bai repeated, “Well-being and prosperous, such a great name, I will look into it.”
After he finished speaking, he opened the door and left, with a smirk raised on his face the moment he turned around. Sure enough, he chose the right person this time.
The winter in Jingcheng was particularly cold this year, and the number of patients visiting Yu Zhi Tang dramatically increased. The majority of them caught a cold, mostly because of the sudden freezing weather, keeping Chen Yu Zhi extremely busy at the clinic.
Many patients still came to Yu Zhi Tang that day, and it was completely dark when he saw the last of them. Just when Chen Yu Zhi closed the door and came out of the clinic, he bumped into a shivering girl at the entrance.
“I’m sorry,” Chen Yu Zhi quickly apologized, knelt to help the girl to get up, only to find her covered in bruises, “What happened to you?”
The girl refused to speak, just hugged herself and curled up, as she wanted to disappear immediately.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu Zhi comforted her softly, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I am a doctor, and this is my clinic behind us. Is it okay for you to come inside and let me see your injuries? ”
This time, the girl finally gave in and answered, “Okay”, before following Chen Yu Zhi to the hospital.
Fortunately, these injuries only looked critical. They were all just superficial wounds caused by a fall and were not serious. Chen Yu Zhi carefully applied the medicines to her wounds and asked, “How did you get injured?”
No answer.
Chen Yu Zhi asked again, “Where is your home?”
This time there was a response, but what he heard was, “I can’t go back.”
The girl looked like she was only fourteen or fifteen years old. She was so young and still injured. She was wandering in the streets in the middle of winter with no home to return to. Chen Yu Zhi suddenly thought of Jiang Yue Lou’s past, to the Kang Shengan who had no one to rely on at that time.
He raised his head and looked at the girl with his delicate smiling face, and asked softly, “Can you tell me why? Only if you tell me, can I help you. ”
The girl’s name was Liu Li. She was fourteen years old this year. Her parents were dead and she lived with her older brother and sister-in-law. Her life was decent. Although she has to work a lot, at least she had something to eat. But recently, her brother and sister-in-law started to smoke a lot. In exchange for money to buy opium, they decided to sell Liu Li to an old man and forced her to marry him, but Liu Li ran away from that old man’s house.
After applying the solution to her injuries, Chen Yu Zhi got up and packed up the bottle. Looking down at the medicine in his hand, he gripped the bottle with more strength than usual. This medicine could heal people’s injuries, but couldn’t cure the sores in this city.
“I have a hospital bed upstairs so you can stay here if you want.”
Hearing these words, Liu Li finally smiled, “Thank you, doctor!”
This smile stunned Chen Yu Zhi and at that moment he was so glad that he had convinced Liu Li to stay.
If the clinic was very busy, the police station was not idle either. Jiang Yue Lou had only just gone back to work and had been stuck at the police station for two consecutive nights. It was really hard for him to find some time to come to Yu Zhi Tang, only to find a little girl sitting next to the medicine cabinet, learning how to recognize the different types of medicines.
Jiang Yue Lou stared at Liu Li for a long time, until Chen Yu Zhi put his hand on his shoulder.
“What’s the situation here?” Jiang Yue Lou asked directly.
Chen Yu Zhi smiled, “This is Liu Li. She is a homeless child. I will let her stay here temporarily to help me at the clinic.”
Jiang Yue Lou shook her head, not comfortable with the idea. “She looks familiar to me. It’s odd, you should be careful.”
“Indeed, she looks familiar”, Chen Yu Zhi revealed with a bitter smile, “She smiled like Keying.”
Jiang Yue Lou didn’t say anything more and bowed his head in silence.
“It’s fine, let’s not talk about it.” Chen Yu Zhi patted Jiang Yue Lou’s back, and broke the silence first, “Section Chief Jiang is so busy and still finds the time to come to the hospital to see me. Did something happen? ”
Hearing his voice relaxed him a lot and Jiang Yue Lou breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering why he came to see him, Jiang Yue Lou said, “I seem to be able to control my emotions now.”
With these few words, Chen Yu Zhi became instantly delighted, “How does it manifest?”
Jiang Yue Lou thought for a while and said, “Well, for example, before, when I was seeing some scenes similar to my childhood, my emotions would have been out of control right away. But now, every time this situation occurs, I try my best to convince myself that everything will be fine. ”
This was a very good sign. Chen Yu Zhi nodded in satisfaction and encouraged him, “Keep it up, I’m looking forward to your recovery. After all, you are the first psychological patient I have treated. ”
Seeing Chen Yu Zhi’s mood getting better because of him, Jiang Yue Lou felt a little proud. He hoped that this man’s happiness would last forever. As long as he is happy, he would be happy too, and all the bad things that always made him angry would become lighter and would no longer weigh him down.
After staying at Yu Zhi Tang for half a month, Liu Li gradually became more cheerful, more talkative and she was also smiling more. Chen Yu Zhi was very happy to see such a change in her. In addition, this child was diligent and willing to learn, recognizing the names of the medicines quickly and accurately, and she was always ready to help the patients to receive their treatment.
At noon that day, while there were no visitors, Chen Yu Zhi planned to talk to Liu Li about officially starting to work at Yu Zhi Tang as a helper. But when he invited her to sit down to discuss, two people suddenly came in. Liu Li was so frightened that she immediately slipped to the ground and got up to run.
Before Chen Yu Zhi could react, a skinny man rushed over and grabbed Liu Li. The woman next to him pointed at Liu Li and was cursing her with a sharp voice, “You little crook! How can you run away! ”
These two seemed to be Liu Li’s brother and sister-in-law. Even though Liu Li told him about this before, seeing them treating her that way made Chen Yu Zhi so angry that he couldn’t even speak. Luckily, he was stronger than Liu Li’s brother. After a little fight, he managed to get Liu Li out of her brother’s hands and shielded her behind himself.
Being pushed away like this, Liu Li’s brother glared at Chen Yu Zhi hatefully, “Why do you intervene when a brother disciplines his sister?!”
But Chen Yu Zhi still refused to give up, “How come an older brother does such a thing?”
Probably because he saw how protective he was of his sister, the man promptly made up his mind and stretched out his hand, asking for money, “What, do you fancy her? Fine, you can have her, give me the money. ”
Even though Chen Yu Zhi was disgusted with this approach, he couldn’t think of any other way at the moment, so he had no other choice but to agree, “How much do you want?”
When Liu Li heard this, she grabbed Chen Yu Zhi and shouted, “No you can’t give it to them, they are going to use it for opium!”
As soon as she said this, Chen Yu Zhi was shocked for an instant. Afraid that he would change his mind, the couple hurriedly said, “One hundred yuan, sold!”
Chen Yu Zhi patted Liu Li’s hand, gesturing to release her grip, “Liu Li, it’s okay.”
Crying, Liu Li finally let go of his hand and watched Chen Yu Zhi walking behind his desk to get the money, her tears falling in large drops.
“Here is the money. Don’t ever come again to trouble her in the future. ” Chen Yu Zhi said rudely when he handed the money to Liu Li’s brother. But at this time, the two only had money in their minds, and couldn’t hear his offensive tone. Now that they had some cash, they were satisfied and left.
Guessing that they were going to buy opium, Chen Yu Zhi couldn’t take the time to comfort Liu Li, and told her in a hurry before going after them, “Go get Jiang Yue Lou, quick!”
Jiang Yue Lou received the call from Liu Li and immediately took the men to go with him. He was anxious all the way and it wasn’t until he saw Chen Yu Zhi’s figure standing at the end of the alley that he finally felt slightly relieved.
Seeing people coming, Chen Yu Zhi immediately greeted them and pointed at the inconspicuous doorway across the street, and said, “They went into that room, and the signal to enter is: three knocks on the door, a pause, and then two more knocks.”
Jiang Yue Lou nodded and immediately began to deploy his men. After everyone had received their orders, Chen Yu Zhi suddenly held him back and said, “I’m going with you.”
Stopped in his tracks, Jiang Yue Lou looked at him. He slightly hesitated* but quickly shook his head, “You never worked with us before and this is too dangerous. If you want to help me, just wait here. Jin Dacheng’s reinforcements will be here soon and you can tell him where to go. ”
Chen Yu Zhi could only release him and watch him go away, but for a reason, he couldn’t explain, his heart was restless.
Jiang Yue Lou and the others successfully entered the opium den with the secret code. The dim lights were turned on, but it was still too dark inside to see their surroundings.
The doorman at the entrance remained silent and walked forward inside the room. Jiang Yue Lou and Song Rong looked at each other, making sure first that there was no need to raise their weapons, then everyone followed him and went in.
At that moment, the sound of a lock suddenly came from behind. Jiang Yue Lou looked back and saw that the door was closed and when he turned around again, the doorman was nowhere to be seen.
“Shit, it’s a trap!” Jiang Yue Lou reacted first and rushed to the door to check it. It was a very thick wooden door that opened inwards. So, when it was locked, it couldn’t be kicked open from the inside.
He then looked at the windows only to see that they were all shut with iron sheets so that the room was nearly completely sealed.
At that moment, smoke suddenly rolled into the room. Jiang Yue Lou quickly covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and warned his men, “Watch out! This smoke is poisonous. ”
Luckily, people in the Inspection Section had the habit of carrying handkerchiefs with them, so everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses. But even so, coughs could be heard one after another.
Jiang Yue Lou fired two shots at the door lock but there was no response, so he had no other choice but to find another way to get out. When passing a table, he saw a teapot on it. He picked it up and shook it strongly, relieved to find out that there was still liquid in it. He used the tea to wet his handkerchief, and then handed it to the policeman next to him, “Wet your handkerchief before covering your mouth and nose with it. The smoke is going upwards, so bend over! ”
The policeman did as he was told and then gave it to the next one. When the teapot was handed to Sun Yongren, only he and Song Rong had not wet their handkerchiefs yet. Sun Yongren reached out to Song Rong asking him to give his own. Song Rong passed the handkerchief without thinking much about it.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses with wet tissues and leaned down as ordered by Jiang Yue Lou, who was still looking for an exit out of this room. No one noticed that the teapot was empty without a single drop of water in it and that Sun Yongren’s handkerchief was still dry.
Chen Yu Zhi was anxiously waiting outside when he suddenly heard the gunshot. Unable to stay calm, he immediately ran to the opium den. When he reached the entrance, he saw smoke coming out from the crack of the door. Terrified, he shouted desperately, “Jiang Yue Lou!”
When Jiang Yue Lou heard Chen Yu Zhi’s voice, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes at first, but soon he rushed to the door and yelled behind it, “Go away, this smoke is poisonous!”
Song Rong came after him and tried to pull him back, “Boss, stop shouting, you will inhale more smoke if you do.”
Suddenly, the door panel vibrated. Chen Yu Zhi was trying to smash the door with his whole body and all his strength on the other side. But the door was too heavy, and one person only would not be able to break it open. Jiang Yue Lou roared, banging at the door, “It’s useless, just leave!”
After inhaling too much smoke, Jiang Yue Lou began to cough violently. Several policemen had already collapsed and seeing that he couldn’t make Jiang Yue Lou stop, Song Rong desperately searched for Sun Yongren, hoping that he would help him persuade their boss. But the smoke was too thick and he couldn’t find him.
In such a life-and-death situation, Jin Dacheng’s car finally arrived. Chen Yu Zhi pulled Jin Dacheng, who had just jumped out of the car, shouting eagerly, “Save them, Jiang Yue Lou is inside!”
Seeing him so mad, Jin Dacheng was startled, and immediately commanded a few of his strongest policemen to break the door.
“Jiang, stand back, I’m going to smash the door! The two of us have some unfinished business, so you can not die! ”
Hearing Jin Dacheng’s voice, Song Rong hurriedly pulled Jiang Yue Lou away. Right after, the door fell to the ground with a “boom”, and some fresh air finally entered the room.
Chen Yu Zhi was the first to rush inside. Song Rong handed him a confused Jiang Yue Lou, before turning around to find Sun Yongren.
The smoke had not completely dissipated, and Chen Yu Zhi was choking and coughing intensely, but he still desperately carried Jiang Yue Lou outside.
That was the only thing he cared about right now, taking Jiang Yue Lou out!
Jiang Yue Lou was feeling extremely drowsy and he didn’t even have the strength to keep his eyes open. He had to use all his willpower to prevent himself from passing out completely. It was only when Chen Yu Zhi picked him up and whispered in his ear, “I’ll take you out of here” that he finally allowed himself to let it go and fall asleep in peace.
When he woke up again, he was in Yu Zhi Tang with Chen Yu Zhi, who was preparing some medication near him.
Hearing the rustle of sheets coming from behind, Chen Yu Zhi immediately got up and came closer to check on him.
“Are you awake?”
Being able to see that person, after being so close to dying Jiang Yue Lou felt relieved.
He nodded and grinned at him. But his smile quickly disappeared and Jiang Yue Lou took Chen Yu Zhi’s hand, which was placed near him, and asked, “Where are the others?”
He was asking about the brothers who were with him in this room. There were ten people in total and only two survived, Jiang Yue Lou and Song Rong. Chen Yu Zhi lowered his head, unable to tell the truth.
“How many are left? Where are Song Rong and Sun Yongren? ”
It was pointless to hide it. Chen Yu Zhi took a deep breath and answered with a trembling voice, “Yongren… is gone, only you and Song Rong survived.”
Sun Yongren was dead. He was killed by that poisonous smoke before falling in love and getting the chance to have his ideal happy life.
“I’m sorry”, Chen Yu Zhi could no longer hold back his tears. “After the incident, Liu Li disappeared. She was part of this trap. I was too ignorant and led all of you to that place. I killed them. ”
Jiang Yue Lou struggled to sit up and hugged Chen Yu Zhi, “Don’t blame yourself. I will find out the real culprit and avenge my brothers. They would not die in vain! ”
The Inspection Section suffered heavy losses this time, but Jiang Yue Lou did not have time to grieve and decided that he would use all his energy to find the truth behind this case.
“According to the information we have got so far, the owner of this opium den is a Frenchman who has been abroad all year and has hired a few Chinese workers to run the business for him. On the surface, it has nothing to do with Jinmatang or Zhao Jingming. ”
Jiang Yue Lou briefly reported the case to Bai Jinbo, and he could only guess after analyzing the situation, “There is a possibility that Zhao Jingming wasn’t San Ye.”
Bai Jinbo frowned and pondered for a while, “No, if Zhao Jingming wasn’t San Ye, how could he know about the specific details of the murders San Ye committed? You should check the docks and the train stations, and see if there are any suspicious people lately. ”
If Zhao Jingming was San Ye, then it was very likely that there was a new opium dealer in Jingcheng. After all, where there is a market, there is trade. There was a decent number of people who secretly smoked opium in Jingcheng and this was an easy way to make money. Therefore, there were plenty of organizations like Jinmatang ready to seize this opportunity.
Jiang Yue Lou naturally knew what Bai Jinbo was thinking and immediately responded, “En, I will send someone to investigate.”
When he was about to leave, Bai Jinbo stopped him, “There is a second task. After finishing work, you have to eat.”
Since Jiang Yuelou was taken in by the Bai family at the age of fourteen, Bai Jinbo had always treated him as his son, and very often, he was more concerned about his health than his achievements at work.
“Look at yourself. From last night until now, you haven’t drunk a single drop of water, let alone eaten. Yue Lou, if Madam was still alive, she would be heartbroken. ”
The “Madam” Bai Jinbo was talking about was his previous wife, Yang Siqi, who was a very virtuous woman who cared for Jiang Yue Lou, and her place in the heart of these two men was irreplaceable.
Remembering his gentle adoptive mother, Jiang Yue Lou wondered how it would be if she was still alive. His eyes were red with this one though, and he could just nod and answer with a simple, “En.”
Bai Jinbo and Jiang Yue Lou were not the only ones who couldn’t forget about Yang Siqi. Even the old servants in the family still remembered her, which annoyed Yali’s, new lady.
Yali used to be a dancer at the Paramount*, and because she looked like Yang Siqi, she was ransomed by Bai Jinbo, who brought her home with him. She was named Mrs. Bai, but in reality, they never got married.
On the day she left the Paramount, she thought that she would finally have a home, but the last seven years have been like falling into an ice cave. No matter how hard she tried, Bai Jinbo had never been affectionate towards her. Later, she found out that she looked most like his previous wife only when she was saying nothing and doing nothing.
Well, there were so many men outside. Why did she have to beg to receive the favor of this one?
Yali was dancing with strangers in the ballroom. She was just like a butterfly when the songs were changing; she was sliding from a man’s hand to the hand of another one. Being here dancing, she was truly happy. so happy that she didn’t even notice that something was added to the wine that the waiter had just handed to her.
When she woke up, a short-haired woman was sitting on the edge of the bed next to her with a photo of her and another man in her hand.
“Who are you? Are you trying to blackmail me? ” With his background, Yali was very familiar with this kind of threat.
She quickly figured out the situation and forced herself to calm down before asking, “What do you want?”
Sitting next to her was the “Snake Lady”, Mrs. Jiang. She put away the photo and smiled with satisfaction, “Since Mrs. Bai is so direct, let’s get to the point. I want information on Bai Jinbo.”
Although Bai Jinbo was treating her poorly, Yali still remembered his kindness and did not agree at first.
Mrs. Jiang poured a glass of red wine and handed it to her, “You are protecting him. It seems like you are still in love with him, but does he have a love for you? He’s just using you as a stand-in. He doesn’t even want to take you out with him to meet people. After all these years, has he ever paid any attention to the loneliness and pain in your heart? ”
Sure enough, women know women the best.
Seeing that Yali was a little confused, Mrs. Jiang continued, “If I send these photos to the police station today, let alone lose your position, you will probably be kicked out of the house right away and will have to live a life worse than death. Let me ask you something. Why should you rely on a man when you can rely on yourself? Plus, I don’t get information for anything, and the reward is up to you. ”
After saying those words, Mrs. Jiang didn’t add anything more, she just waited and stood coldly by the bed, leaving her time to choose
After a while, Yali drank her wine down in one and made up her mind. “Soon, a high-ranking executive will come to Jingcheng to discuss the issue of the railway expansion. The police department is responsible for that person’s security. ”
Mrs. Jiang’s eyes lit up and she asked, “How was the route arranged? Where will he stay? Which restaurant will be responsible for the food that day? ”
Yali sneered, “I don’t know that much. Do you think he will tell me all about these confidential details? I only learned about it by eavesdropping on his discussion on the phone. ”
“Cooperation requires sincerity. Mrs. Bai better thinks again of something more detailed “, Madam Jiang pressed her while stepping forward and looking at Yali with murderous eyes, causing a chill to run down on the latter’s back.
Yali squeezed the corner of the blanket, and quickly remembering something else, she blurted out, “Jing’an Hotel!”
Thanks a lot for your translation work! 😊 I was wondering: will the novel be ambigious till the end or are there some UNambigious moments?? Between two mc I mean.
Thank you so much, you’re welcome! 😀
So for the ambiguous/unambiguous moments in the novel. I’m afraid their relationship will stay in the unambiguous grey area until the very end… 😔 and they will not go more far than hugging and holding hands.
But still, their feelings between each other is really obvious and I will say the novel is a little more clear about that part, specially concerning JYL feelings. He clearly pictured himself spending all his life with CYZ❤❤❤
But yes, this novel is more like a shounen ai than a real BL
OK, we still love them though 😌
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the update! This is the part of the drama that I hated to see the most (well, apart from the ending) because it’s too heartbreaking to see a mother pitting his son.
(Anyway, I’m curious, is the novel gonna be a little “censored” towards JYL and CYZ’s relationship like in the drama?)
(For the censored moments, I will say there is not in the novel or at least not at the physical level. But their feelings for each other are really obvious here, even if it stayed in an ambiguous grey area, the novel clearly hinted that they deeply care/”love” each other (chapter 23 with JYL, picturing himself being with CYZ for all the next 4 seasons of the year, make it very clear that he wants to spend a lifetime with his doctor). But except that I’m afraid who will not get more than that, this novel is probably more like a shounen ai than a real BL…, but still there are very nice beautiful and romantic moments between these 2, which makes it real nice to read 😀 )
Maybe I’m getting too old but I really can’t stand it anymore, and I absolutely feel no sympathy for people who end tragically simply because they didn’t use their brains.🤦 To me they deserve it!
Thank you for the chapter 🌻
Ahahaha so true!!!😂 Most of the dramas and novels rely too much on the dumbness of their characters to make the plot keep going. But even if she clearly not a nice girl, she doesn’t deserve how BJ was treating her, so he deserved this also a little bit also!
This chapter is so sad 🙁
The story won’t be the same without Sun Yongren 🙁
Thanks for this chapter 😊
Agree with you!!! 😥 😥 😥 SYR was the best!!! Why he has to die like this 😥
So the snake lady is Jiang Lou mother?! What a twist of fate. I wonder what led to to become so vicious.
I’m still trying to get over SY death 😥. The person that would feel the most guilt is Dr Chan since he gave them the location even though he doesn’t show it.
Yes she is!! Poor JYL, seems like he would never have a peaceful life with his gentle doctor, one trouble is coming after another for him….
SYR death is the worse!!!😥 He was one of the most nicest and funny character of the story! And he sacrificed himself to save SR, this is so beautiful!!!! I’m agree with you, it would have been nice to see people more sad about it like in the drama!! SYR, you will never be forgotten ❤
Also, I just realized something pretty important: Did Wang Meng live?
From around the arrest of ZJM, he also died in the drama, but in this I don’t recall him getting hurt?? So, did Wang Meng actually make it..? 😳😮
Sigh, also, I just wanna see Yuelou and Yuzhi have their happy end insert ugly crying noises
They’re good people, and they deserve to lead the life that makes them happy~💕😟😖💕
Yes the death of SYR was so sad and it happened so fast!!! Like in the drama, he was also one of the best character of the novel and it’s so painful that he has to leave us that way (and yes in the novel, CYZ blames himself too much, I hope JYL will comfort his bf as he should!!!) And agree with you, after all these two people went through they more than deserved their happy ending.
As for Wang Meng actually you’re right, unlike the drama, he didn’t die in the novel but ended up in prison and was a witness for ZJM’s trial! So yes, we can say that he makes it in the novel 😀 which is really cool as he was one of the nicest villain in that story!
Yay, thank you for the reply 💞💕 and no worries because I’m super late as well, lol.
did chu min not appear in the novel ? because i remember, he should have fallen in love with liu li
