Special Forces Medic-Chapter 714 - 681: Big Shot

"Yao Zheng, you should stop now!" Even the best-tempered person will explode one day, not to mention Yan Juanjuan is not someone with a good temper. "Did I arrange everything meticulously for myself? What do you take me for now?"

"For my own good?" Yao Zheng forcefully threw the towel on his head into the water, creating a big splash. "Killing someone for my own good? That's two lives!"

"In the end, you're blaming me for killing that shameless woman for you!" A paper was about to break, and the string she carefully maintained seemed about to snap. "Do you like that woman so much? Are you giving up on your family?"

"Don't make things complicated, Xiao Mei is a crucial part of our sales chain..."

Upon hearing Yao Zheng's explanation, Yan Juanjuan suddenly burst into laughter. "Yao Zheng, do you know what kind of role that woman plays, and yet you shamelessly cling to her? Do you think others don't know about the filthy things you've done?"

Slap! A harsh slap landed on her face, and Yan Juanjuan was clearly shocked. She bewilderedly covered her cheek and stared at Yao Zheng with wide-eyed disbelief. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"My filthy deeds?" Yao Zheng gave Yan Juanjuan a sidelong glance.

"You hit me?" After a long pause, Yan Juanjuan, regaining some of her composure, shouted.

"Slapping you is being lenient; not throwing you directly into jail is already good enough." Yao Zheng stood up from the water, gave Yan Juanjuan a cold stare. "I'll warn you one last time, someone has already pointed you out as the murderer of Zhang Qiang. Don't blame me for not reminding you that you should always leave a leeway for yourself."

"Yao Zheng!" Yan Juanjuan lunged at him, but Yao Zheng kicked her over into the water, submerging her.

"Damn!" He turned around, jumped back into the water, and pulled Yan Juanjuan up. "From now on, don't expect me to clean up your messes anymore. Figure out your own way to settle your issues."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the side of the pool rang. After a brief response, Yao Zheng's expression turned grim with the report on the other end of the line, and at the last bit, he angrily tossed the phone away.

He glared at the panting woman beside him, his eyes seemingly ready to burst into flames. "Yan Juanjuan, how many more people do you need to kill to be satisfied?"

"Yao Zheng, explain yourself, who have I killed?" Yan Juanjuan stared at Yao Zheng in confusion.

"Didn't you hire someone to hunt down Secretary Luo? Killing Xiao Mei, I took it as envy turning to hate. Killing Zhang Qiang to silence him. But Secretary Luo? He's an important figure by Hua Muyun's side. Do you even know what you're doing?"

"What? Secretary Luo was hunted down?"

"Still pretending? Don't tell me it has nothing to do with you." Yao Zheng pointed at Yan Juanjuan, full of disdain. "Yan Juanjuan, I really regret choosing a woman like you. Now you're nothing but a murderer."

"You don't believe me!"

Seeing the woman's tearful face, Yao Zheng turned around and left; there was nothing more to say. Yan Juanjuan lay alone on her back in the pool, the last glance from Yao Zheng said it all, she was completely abandoned.

The water in the pool was warm, yet it couldn't warm her heart. She was like a worn-out rag, discarded just like that without any hesitation. Yan Juanjuan emerged from the pool; despite being in her forties, she maintained a girl's figure, showing no sign of having had children. After putting on a robe, she walked away from the room.

Yao Zheng was already dressed and ready to leave with his car keys in hand. Seeing Yan Juanjuan walking down the stairs in silence, "Are you planning to just ditch me?" Yan Juanjuan asked Yao Zheng calmly.

"You brought this on yourself; blame no one else."

Yan Juanjuan chuckled and walked up to Yao Zheng. "Your tie is crooked!" She raised her hands to straighten his tie. "I'll see you out." Yao Zheng looked at her suspiciously, unable to decipher her intentions. "We've been through so much together, and we have a son. We're in the same boat; it's not fortunate if either of us falls. I know you'd leave me in the lurch during tough times, and I don't blame you. As a district chief, your reputation is naturally more important than mine, but don't forget, if I could elevate you, I could also bring you down."

"Are you threatening me?"

"I'm merely reminding you, we're two grasshoppers tied together, inseparable." Yan Juanjuan retorted without backing down. "Drive safely, there's a city committee meeting tomorrow, so I won't see you off."

"Yan Juanjuan, you're playing with fire."

Watching the door shut by Yan Juanjuan, Yao Zheng stood there hesitantly for a long time before turning to head to his car. He spent a considerable amount of time in the car smoking, gazing outside through the tinted windows, staring at that door, and his somber expression becoming increasingly vague amidst the smoke.

Upon entering the office building, Yao Zheng undeniably sensed a strange atmosphere—tense. He ordered a latte in the ground floor cafe; Yan Juanjuan left him smoldering with anger. "What's going on here today?"

"District Chief Yao, it seems like an important visitor has arrived! Secretary Li just asked me to bring two cups of coffee upstairs." Xiao Mei fawned.

"Two important figures?" Yao Zheng couldn't think of anyone else who might visit here. Could it be Hua Muyun?

"Just one, actually! And he's a very handsome man." Even a quick glance left a lasting impression, and the girl was lost in her own reverie, completely forgetting about Yao Zheng standing in front of her.

"Bring it to my office!"

"Yes!" The girl timidly slipped back behind the bar, worrying to herself whether her infatuation might get her fired, considering the pay here was quite good.

"Hey, did you see it just now? Yao Zheng had a hickey on his neck!" Another girl quietly leaned over.

"Really? I didn't notice!"

"Of course, you didn't. I happened to see it. It's still fresh, maybe he just..." The two girls exchanged glances and laughed.

A very handsome figure? As Yao Zheng stepped into the elevator, he began to search his mind for relevant people. He had met the elders in the city committee, not all of them, but close enough; when did a newcomer emerge? As he stepped out of the elevator, Secretary Li was already waiting at his office door. From afar, he could see Li's distressed look and immediately pulled him into the elevator.

"Secretary Li, what do you mean by this?" Secretary Li quickly pressed the top floor button.

Secretary Li first patted his chest, holding onto the elevator railing with one hand. "District Chief Yao, let me catch my breath first; I was scared to death."

"What on earth happened?"

"The city committee sent someone!" Secretary Li swallowed and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

"What's there to panic about? It's normal for the city committee to send someone over. Your reaction is ridiculous," Yao Zheng harrumphed and casually pressed the floor button.

"No! They officially sent documents to re-investigate the Han Fei case, and Secretary Luo, who just left here, was attacked on his way back."

"Minister Wang already called me. If they want to investigate, let them. Don't be so cowardly."

"I..." Secretary Li wanted to say something more, but the elevator had already reached the floor.

"Let me first meet that important figure! Be sharp, and also find someone to constantly watch Yan Juanjuan."

"Yes!" Secretary Li took the opportunity to leave, feeling overwhelmed; he feared that entering might break his heart.

A tall figure stood in a position Yao Zheng favored, looking down and gazing into the distance. The two people standing behind him—one seemed very young, and the other wore a police uniform and appeared a bit older, but both were quite tall.

"Excuse me, you are..." Yao Zheng's voice had already reached the ears of the others as he pushed the door. They didn't move because they were waiting for him to speak, but when he spoke, they merely listened.

Seeing no response from the other side, Yao Zheng raised his eyebrows. The coffee on the table was clearly ordered by Secretary Li, and the delivery bag hadn't even been opened. Such people were hard to deal with; that was Yao Zheng's first thought, the visitor was not friendly.

"I'm Yao Zheng. May I ask why you're here?"

"Hehe!" A laugh preceded meeting them, and hearing it made Yao Zheng shiver inside. "District Chief Yao has quite a presence!" Hua Qingyi slowly turned around, his face more beautiful than a woman's, cold and sharp, like a blade. Among the two who turned with him, one piqued his intuition—a young man barely in his twenties; the pressing sensation felt since entering was not from Hua Qingyi, but from this young man. The mood of the other man, a middle-aged policeman, was calm. Their different personalities blended perfectly.

Yao Zheng forced a smile and hung his bag and coat on the rack, then proceeded to his desk. "My secretary said the city committee sent a member to re-investigate the Han Fei case. May I ask who is in charge?"

"Re-investigate? There was no trial, so how can there be a re-investigation?" Hua Qingyi caught Yao Zheng's mistaken wording.

"Didn't Dragon Soul already make a final decision?" Yao Zheng sensed the other's clear disdain. Such hostility rarely surfaces before the first encounter—what's the story with this young man?

"Dragon Soul's decisions are naturally unquestionable. Not many people can bypass them. The city committee is taking this case very seriously, hence forming a special group, of which I'm the leader, Hua Qingyi." As he finished, he extended his hand, and Yao Zheng hesitated before shaking it. (To be continued.
