Special Forces Medic

"It's me!" Xiao Lin crossed his arms, looking at Wu Shuang with an expression of extreme helplessness, then the two exchanged a smile.

"Does Officer Wu really not want to see Xiao Lin?" Xiao Lin said with a smile.

Suddenly, Xiao Lin turned playful, catching Wu Shuang off guard, leaving her stunned. She had seen many sides of Xiao Lin: domineering, strong-willed, fierce, rude—she had experienced all the negative aspects. But this side, she was seeing for the first time today.

"Aren't you going to record my statement?" Xiao Lin continued teasing.

"Yes, I really don't want to see you." Wu Shuang rolled her eyes at Xiao Lin, moving aside with her notepad to sit in the rest area: "Because every time I see you, nothing good happens. You're my jinx."

Xiao Lin followed her to the bench, carefully recalling the past. From his first car accident upon entering Yanjing to now, every encounter with this officer seemed to be during accidents. Indeed, as she said, he was her jinx—never around when things were fine, but always showing up when things went wrong.

"Isn't this because we're close, sharing difficulties together!" Xiao Lin lowered his collar, noting that the indoor temperature was several degrees higher than the safety passage. From the side, Wu Shuang was actually quite a beauty.

"Come on, why don't you say we're sharing the good times too?" Wu Shuang retorted with a disgruntled remark, then opened her notebook: "How did you discover the patient was poisoned?"

"In fact, this person is an assassin. He followed me here, and then..."

Xiao Lin paused, contemplating which words to use to avoid misunderstanding with Wu Shuang. Honestly, he feared her impulsive personality; a single disagreement could lead to a big fight. Ugh!

"And then what?" Once immersed in her work, Wu Shuang was very serious. Her nearly perfect approach to work occasionally drove her to the edge, but because of this, her achievements were evident to all.

"I intended to catch him and ask questions, but he bit poison and committed suicide!" Ultimately, Xiao Lin chose to tell the truth. The fact was just that—trying to embellish it would merely create misunderstandings and be counter-productive.

"He poisoned himself and committed suicide?" Wu Shuang stopped writing, looking at Xiao Lin with distrust. Her eyes seemed to suggest he was the real culprit.

"When I saw him biting poison to commit suicide, I provided some basic first aid. Now it's up to the chief doctor inside to see if he can be saved."

Xiao Lin's gaze naturally shifted towards the emergency room. In his heart, he didn't think that foolish man had much of a chance. "Of course, if he can't be saved, then his career would pretty much be over."

Wu Shuang looked silently at her notebook and the words she had written. It wasn't that she didn't hear what Xiao Lin said, but she deliberately ignored his arrogance. Putting down her pen, she looked up and said: "You might possess the ability, but you don't need to ruin someone's career over such a small matter!"

"Am I such an inconsiderate person?" Xiao Lin snorted at Wu Shuang's objection: "As a healer, I am someone who can selflessly sacrifice!"

"What do you mean?"

Truly unable to understand Xiao Lin's statement.

At times, Wu Shuang admired Xiao Lin. From his way of handling matters to his medical skills, he was someone others envied and found astounding. However, she couldn't stand his arrogant personality. Even if he had the ability to be arrogant, he shouldn't so easily define other people's lives, right?

"This is just a small case, why would it trouble a special officer like you?"

Xiao Lin felt there was no need to delve further. For this type of record, it really didn't hold much meaning; the key was the person inside. Indirectly, he should still be considered a victim.

"A lot has happened lately, most of our force has been temporarily reassigned, and there aren't many left at the station to handle matters." Wu Shuang closed her notebook and sighed: "If I didn't come out to fill in, how could it be enough?"

"Oh?" Xiao Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully, then tilted his head to look out the window: "The security has always been good here, what could happen?"

"Recently, the Xia Family has been repeatedly attacked, and Xia Yusheng has already applied for special protection!"

"No clues about the people behind it?" Xiao Lin asked blandly.

"These people are bounty hunters. There's a task on the underground list, they'll take it, not knowing who the employer is."

"Have you investigated the Wang Family?"

This was the first person Xiao Lin thought of. Being able to afford a large sum for someone on the underground list requires considerable financial power. Ordinary prices wouldn't attract the bounty hunters' interest.

Wu Shuang looked at Xiao Lin as if she had discovered a new continent: "You're overthinking it. The Wang Family are prominent figures. Even if you stole their daughter-in-law, it wouldn't be severe enough for them to want your life."

"See, women have limited insight!"

"You..." Wu Shuang wanted to take action but was stopped by Xiao Lin.

"This is a hospital; you can't just fight any time you want. No matter how good you are at fighting, you'll still end up looking bad here, and then you'll blame me."

That was no lie; it basically happened in a repetitive cycle. Women just love to bring trouble upon themselves—it's quite pointless.

"I say this for a reason. You mentioned they're bounty hunters. Those who can afford high prices and have a bit of history with the Xia Family—if not the Wang Family, then who?"

Xiao Lin's analysis wasn't without reason, and Wu Shuang relaxed: "That's possible, but I feel there's another mastermind behind this."

"Oh?" Xiao Lin interestingly turned his gaze back to Wu Shuang: "You must have some clues to be so certain."

Wu Shuang, being a special officer and a policewoman with professional ethics, never declared conclusions lightly. This only reinforced her principle of fact-based evidence.

"Not yet, but during a capture, a suspect let slip something."

"What did they say?"

"I can't disclose that!" Wu Shuang tossed four words to Xiao Lin and got up, walking to the emergency room entrance.

Xiao Lin was frustrated. This woman deserved to be taught a lesson, but her figure was indeed worth admiring. As he followed behind Wu Shuang, he thought weakly. Setting aside her personality, this officer was actually quite good—both her figure and appearance could be considered top-notch. Pity about her personality.

"What are you looking at?" Sensing Xiao Lin's improper gaze, Wu Shuang's face darkened, though a slight blush rose to her ears.

"A graceful lady, a gentleman's pursuit!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
