Of course.
Xu Bai actually only thought of this. To be honest, Xu Bai would not be able to accept being a kept “woman”.
“I don’t need that much.”
Xu Bai came back to his senses and shook his head at Gao Lan. “10… 20,000 will do.”
He originally wanted to say that 10,000 yuan was enough.
However, according to the old Chinese doctor, the Dragon Heart Herb was so rare and priceless. At that time, he did not ask how much it cost.
so…
An extra 10,000 should be enough.
Xu Bai thought to himself.
Gao Lan ignored Xu Bai and turned around to walk towards the door. “Alright, I’ll give you 100,000 yuan for now. If it’s not enough, look for me. You don’t have to be in a hurry to return it to me.”
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to say that there was really no need for so much, he happened to see Su Meng walking in after soaking the Bone Strengthening Powder.
Su Meng was stunned by Gao Lan’s words.
One hundred thousand?
No need to return it?
Su Meng blinked. After Gao Lan left the ward, she came back to her senses and ran to Xu Bail s bed with the Bone Strengthening Powder in her hand.
“Master.”
“Yeah. ”
“Doctor Gao has taken a fancy to you and is keeping you?”
Xu Bai looked at Su Meng, who was handing him the Bone Strengthening Powder that had been soaked in it. Then, her chubby face was filled with gossip and curiosity. He fell silent.
After a while.
Xu Bai frowned and looked at Su Meng.
“If I say that this isn’t the case, do you believe me?”
“I don’t believe you.”
Su Meng looked at Xu Bai with admiration, but this still couldn’t stop Su Meng from shaking her head.
If you’re not a kept woman, why would Doctor Gao give you 100, 000 yuan? Moreover, it’s the kind that you don’t have to pay back. Doctor Gao’s money doesn’t come from anywhere.
I knew it.
Xu Bai thought to himself. He opened his mouth and thought about it. In the end, he did not say anything. He silently took the cup from Su Meng and drank the orange-flavored Bone Strengthening Powder.
Su Meng narrowed her cute big eyes and looked at Xu Bai, who was silently drinking the Bone Strengthening Powder. No one knew what she was thinking.
The next second.
“By the way, Master.”
Su Meng suddenly recalled the call she had made while soaking in the Bone Strengthening Powder. Her eyes widened as she looked at Xu Bai. “The bureau just called. Those women’s injuries have already healed. The few people they brought back have already confessed.” Xu Bai looked up at Su Meng. “Confess?”
Su Meng nodded.
After Xu Bai saw the injured women he found at the Night Rose nightclub last night and asked the patrol officers to bring them back to the hospital, they started crying to the patrol officers.
Although there was no law in the Federation regarding crimes in that area, if someone forced a woman, it would definitely be a crime.
Liu Qiang and the others who claimed to be witnesses were brought back to the police station for questioning. They were the culprits who forced them to make despicable deals.
“They borrowed money from the beauty loan and couldn’t pay it back. They were forced to stay in the Night Rose nightclub by Liu Qiang and the others. According to one of the victims, she had been locked up for a few days. Most of the girls inside were pulled in by Liu Qiang through this method.”
“They’re not the only ones?”
“Not only that, but when the team leader heard about it, he was especially angry. He had already arranged for people to investigate the Night Rose nightclub thoroughly.”
Su Meng also vented her anger. Then, she looked at Xu Bai and said curiously and in confusion, “Master, why do you think those women would cut their faces? Moreover, even if it’s a loan, they have to inflict injuries on their faces?” This question?
Xu Bai was slightly stunned. He glanced at Su Meng, who had some baby fat, big eyes, and white skin. She looked like a little girl next door.
“You don’t understand.”
“What?”
“Because you’re beautiful.”
” …Master.”
When Su Meng heard this, she instantly lowered her head. Her earlobes could not help but turn pink. She pinched the corner of her shirt and raised her head to look at Xu Bai. “Am I really very beautiful?”
Xu Bai opened his mouth and was about to say something to change the topic, but when he saw the uneasy aura hidden under Su Meng’s red face, he nodded. “Of course, our Mengmeng is the cutest and most beautiful.”
Su Meng’s big eyes smiled like a beautiful crescent moon. She took the empty cup from Xu Bail s hand and turned to walk out of the door.
“I’m making you a cup of Bone Strengthening Powder. Wait for me, Master.” “Wait…
Xu Bai was about to extend his hand to ask Su Meng to stay and tell her that he really couldn’t drink anymore, but before he could say anything, she ran out happily.
I can’t.
I can’t lie down anymore. If I continue lying down like this, I won’t die from my injuries. I’ll die from over-nourishing.
As Xu Bai thought about it, he lifted the blanket and grabbed the clothes on the chair at the side. With a swish, he slipped into the ward’s washroom.
When he and Su Meng returned to the 38th Precinct, it was already three in the afternoon.
Xu Bai walked in front and stepped out of the elevator.
The next second.
Xu Bai heard the exaggerated voice of Chen Shan from the police station.
Chen Shan, who was standing by his seat, watched Xu Bai walk out of the elevator and said exaggeratedly, “Wow, look, our hero is back. Let’s give him a round of applause!”
In an instant, the colleagues who did not notice Xu Bai at first immediately looked at the elevator after being shouted at by Chen Shan. Then, they gave Xu
Bai their warm applause.
“Well done.”
“Impressive.”
“Not bad.”
“Looks like you’re recovering well.”
Xu Bai was speechless, but he still forced a smile and bumped fists or hugged his colleagues who walked in front of him.
When he reached his seat, Chen Shan even took out a bouquet of flowers from behind him and handed it to Xu Bai. “This is a bouquet of flowers that our 56 female colleagues from our branch bought with their funds. It’s for our hero. Come, hero, take the flowers.’
Xu Bai took the flowers expressionlessly and put on a fake smile. “You’re wrong, right? There are more than 56 female colleagues. There should be 57 female colleagues.”
Chen Shan looked up.
“Is there a new female colleague? When? Why didn’t I know?”
“She’s not really new. She came a long time ago. She probably came about three years ago.”
“You think so?”
Chen Shan blinked. “Who is it? That’s impossible. Our branch office, including the auntie in the canteen, is included. There are only 56 people in total. How can there be 57?”
Xu Bai chuckled. He ignored Chen Shan and returned to his seat.
Chen Shan was confused.
Su Meng, who was following behind Xu Bai, couldn’t bear it and looked up at Chen Shan.
“Brother Chen.”
“Mengmeng, do you know who else is there?”
“Yeah. ”
Su Meng nodded. “You forgot to count yourself. Brother Chen, you just said that we have 56 female colleagues, so you’re one of them. 57.”
Chen Shan was speechless..
