Chapter 211 - I’ll Look After Him (1/2)

Although the beds in the intensive care ward were relatively larger, it was still cramped. This was evidenced by the struggle both men faced when sleeping together. As Xu Lan stood in front of the window and stretched his muscles, a vivacious Bai Wu went over and hugged him tightly.

“You’re awake?”

“Mm…” Bai Wu placed his chin at the base of Xu Lan’s neck and began nuzzling intimately.

“I’ll be meeting Wang Meng soon. I’ll come back to check on you during noon,” Xu Lan said calmly after pushing Bai Wu away and putting on a shirt.

“I’m all healed now. I want to go with you.”

“No.” Xu Lan declined without hesitation. Sergeant Xiao, who dealt with the 928 Incident, was the only person Xu Lan knew there. Having chatted with Liang Yu the day before, Xu Lan felt that it was unwise to let Bai Wu walk about in the open.

“It’s not like they can catch me anyway,” Bai Wu sneered with disdain. It seemed like he had heard the conversation from the previous night.

Eventually, Bai Wu’s reddened eyes and cloying voice led Xu Lan to stop resisting. With a facepalm, he begrudgingly brought Bai Wu along. Bai Wu was pleased with himself for being able to have his way with his devious scheme, but he vehemently suppressed his delight and obediently followed Bai Wu to the local police station.

It was thought that the case could be solved within a short period of time, but it dragged on for more than a month because there were no leads. The task force was then moved to the local police station.

“Sergeant Xu!” Wang Hao dropped all his documents onto the floor in surprise, the instant he laid his eyes on Xu Lan. The ensuing sound drew out the other members of Team 2. Sullenness, dissatisfaction, gloominess, and helplessness accumulated on each of their faces. Those feelings appeared spontaneously upon seeing Xu Lan.

“Mm. I’ve let all of you down. I’m now unemployed, so don’t be like that.”

Those jokers had been Xu Lan’s subordinates. All of them, most notably Wang Hao, were like family to him. Wang Hao was his partner, his brother, and someone who was willing to risk life and limb for him, but Xu Lan disappeared for a month without even considering everyone’s feelings.
