Special Forces Medic-Chapter 768 - 735 I don’t want to help you undress again

The silence of Xiao Lin made Xia Xue uneasy. She reached out her hand to hold his, silently watching him.

"I'm fine!" After the passion, it was always hard to concentrate. Xiao Lin showed an unusual tiredness, he crossed one leg and leaned against the headboard, holding Xia Xue in his arms.

"I came to the North Region for business this time." Xiao Lin didn't want to say more, nor did she ask further.

"Yes, regarding investment matters, this might be from your father. This place isn't suitable for 'Rhine's' development." Xiao Lin exhaled a puff of smoke, gazing at the slowly rising smoke rings, his mind clear.

"Yes, he's very happy with his political work now. I thank you for your arrangements; you know what's good for us." Xia Xue never denied that. Often, Xiao Lin indeed saw further and clearer than she did.

"Father also hopes to find a foothold through this opportunity. If it doesn't work, Hua Muyun wouldn't agree to his requests." Xiao Lin wasn't worried about how difficult Xia Yusheng's political path might be. As long as Hua Muyun was in power, his path would continue for another day.

"I realized after coming here that it isn't as pleasant as father imagined. Lian told me there are many obscure areas in the North Region government, not enough to cover up." Xia Xue didn't understand why Lian was so worried. After returning from Beigong, her hesitation was evident.

"You should listen to Lian. She's more responsible than you think, and the North Region isn't suitable for any investment right now. You can ask your father to be patient a little longer."

"Why are you here?"

"The person I'm looking for is here." Xia Xue nodded. Xiao Lin always engaged in dangerous matters; she knew his identity, and such dangers were inevitable in his position.

"Lian wanted me to tell you that Beigong had two fires."

"Yes, you should go to the city center with her today. Staying here is dangerous for you."

"Why? Because of you?" Xia Xue could feel Xiao Lin's unease, and perhaps those three people yesterday were indeed someone else's deliberate arrangement. "Those three people yesterday..."

"They weren't sent by Yao Zheng; someone is trying to frame him." Yao Zheng wouldn't be that foolish. For now, Xia Xue was of value to him, plus he had no reason to arrest her. The other party was merely using this plan to pin the crime on Yao Zheng.

"Yao Zheng? Lian said he's a bad person."

"Yes, Qing Yi is preparing to bring this big figure down. Now the authentication is sufficient, but physical evidence is lacking."

"Then I shouldn't leave." Xia Xue sat up from his arms.

"What are you doing?" Her sudden movement almost made him drop the cigarette in his hand.

"Getting dressed, hurry up and get dressed. Let's go find Lian." Xia Xue jumped up and grabbed her clothes from the backrest, pulling them on. "Lian told me a lot about you, but I don't know where to start, so it's better if you come with me to see Lian. That way, you'll understand more clearly."

"I don't want you to get involved in this matter." Xiao Lin pulled Xia Xue back by her hand.

"I don't want to get involved either, but I'm already here in the North Region. Do you think Yao Zheng would let me go?" Xia Xue's words left Xiao Lin unable to retort. "So, it's best if you come with me to see Lian and figure out what needs to be known. That way, you can ensure my safety, right? You're here, so I feel much more at ease."

"Xiaoxue, why did Father take on this case? There are many people moving from business to politics. Are there no others?"

"I don't know the specifics. It's just that someone recommended my father from behind."

"Ah!" Xiao Lin nodded. He thought he understood what was going on. With Xia Yusheng's years of business experience, he wouldn't impulsively take over the reconstruction of Beigong. After all, business people consider profit and returns. "How do you plan to restructure Beigong?"

"Abandon business and switch to welfare projects." Xia Xue blinked at Xiao Lin. "Yao Zheng hopes our 'Rhine' can settle in the North Region. That's almost a dream. I've checked around in the past few days; there are very few medical institutions here. Plan to open a hospital, public or private, depending on what Father says. Either way, it's all public service, no difference."

"You're a smart woman!" Xiao Lin could clearly see what Xia Xue was thinking, but with Yao Zheng's never-give-up-until-success personality, Xia Xue's current battle was not easy. "You have to be careful of Yao Zheng's tricks."

"Isn't that why I have you? Bring him down early so I can focus on my career!" Xia Xue playfully grabbed Xiao Lin's T-shirt and helped him put it on. "Why don't you ever wear the clothes I designed for you?" She opened the wardrobe to find the same few T-shirts and jeans but none from her designed brand.

"If I wear that, how can I work? I'm just a part-time bodyguard. Not wearing a suit is already being polite. If I wore your personalized outfits, Qing Yi would definitely turn against me." Xiao Lin enjoyed the process of Xia Xue dressing him, his hollow heart gradually being filled.

"Hmm, then I should consider designing a few sets for that handsome guy too. So envious, a man prettier than a woman." Xia Xue jealously pouted her lips, reluctantly buttoning up.

"If that's enough to make you jealous, then you haven't seen a man truly prettier than a woman!" Xiao Lin suddenly remembered Flame Swallow. It's been a while since he'd seen him, and that wrinkle-covered face was hard to describe in words.

"Does such a person really exist?" Xia Xue stared at Xiao Lin in disbelief. She considered Hua Qingyi to be a perfect creation by God; if someone was much better than him, they wouldn't be human.

"It's better if you don't see it!" Xiao Lin hugged Xia Xue from behind. "It's still early, we can..."

"No way, I don't want to help you take off your clothes again!" Xia Xue giggled. "Lian is already up by now, our lifestyle is more disciplined than yours!"

"What do you get up so early for?" Xiao Lin was wearing his shoes and realized he was still quite sleepy as he was about to leave.

"Morning exercise! Feeling sleepy?" Noticing his tiredness, Xia Xue tenderly brushed his hair. "Go sleep over there! Lian really wants to see you too."

The morning air was fresh, and it had started drizzling in the latter half of the night. Magically, it stopped when the sun began to peek through the clouds. The street puddles, now and then, picked up raindrops falling from the eaves.

Coming out of the inn, the road was fairly clean, without much water accumulation. This area was on the outskirts of the slums, so there weren't knee-deep puddles, but the water was close to the feet. "Get on!" Xiao Lin glanced at the road conditions outside and squatted down in front of the inn's lobby.

"W-what are you doing?" Xia Xue was startled by his sudden action.

"I'm telling you to get on. Why so much nonsense?" Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at her. Don't all girls fantasize about being carried by their boyfriends?

"No, it'll be embarrassing if someone sees!" Xia Xue whispered, feeling a bit shy even though a part of her was looking forward to it.

"If you don't get on, are you going to wade through the water?" Xiao Lin gestured, pulling Xia Xue closer to him. "Aren't you about to start? Soaking your feet in water is not good for you!"

"Damn you, Xiao Lin, go die!" Xia Xue's face turned red up to her ears upon hearing that.

"What's the big deal? You're my wife. It's normal for me to know. I'm a doctor, a doctor, you know!" Xiao Lin laughed heartily. "Hurry up, I'm squatting myself tired."

Xiao Lin was strong and steady, there was no worry about falling off. It was surprising how much energy was contained in his slender frame. Xia Xue rested her chin on his shoulder. "Finish your business quickly, I miss you. It's lonely by myself!"

"Okay!"

"Boss!" Passing by the North District Police Station, Shi Shuai was preparing to go out by car at the entrance. Seeing Xiao Lin, he excitedly shouted. "And this is..."

"Going out?" Xiao Lin put Xia Xue down on the high ground while he remained in the water.

"Yeah, early shift today. Lao Xu is still sleeping, and yesterday's people have..." Shi Shuai's voice trailed off as he scrutinized Xia Xue with slightly bold eyes.

"If you've seen enough, take us to Commercial Street." Xiao Lin's possessiveness was apparent when it came to those he cared about. Even though Shi Shuai's gaze wasn't malicious, Xiao Lin raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction. Xia Xue followed behind him with a gentle smile.

"Your shoes are wet!"

"It's okay. I'll rinse them, take a shower, and buy new ones after a while."

"Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked at sister-in-law like that." Shi Shuai sat in the driver's seat.

"Did yesterday's people undergo interrogation overnight?"

"I wanted to, but Boss, you hit too hard. They haven't woken up yet. Let's leave it to Lao Xu later!"

"One of them confessed that they were sent by Yao Zheng, but that's a lie. There should be someone else behind it." Xiao Lin pondered for a moment. "Have Lao Xu find an opportunity to release them, and you guys follow them."

"Understood, it's a long-term game to catch a bigger fish!"

Xia Xue held Xiao Lin's hand as the car splashed water onto the windows, bouncing out of the slum area. "I still need to meet with Yao Zheng today to discuss matters about Beigong!"

"Cancel it!" Xiao Lin didn't even twitch an eyebrow.

"I can't! Business matters, I'll handle it myself, don't worry about it."

"Sister-in-law, Yao Zheng is no good. You should listen to Boss! Most certainly, he's right!"

"How did you become their boss?" Hearing others call Xiao Lin boss amused Xia Xue, and she couldn't help teasing him.

Seeing Xiao Lin glare at him through the rearview mirror, Shi Shuai stuck out his tongue and said nothing more again. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
