Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Zhou Bufan couldn't help but furrow his brows and asked,

"How did you get here?"

The old man waved his hand at him and said, "Bufan, immediately retreat."

"But—"

"There are no buts, what, aren't you obeying my orders now?" the elder said authoritatively.

Zhou Bufan, with no choice, waved his hand to his subordinates, and a group of people walked out of the restaurant.

The elder, with his hands behind his back, scanned the scene and smiled at Fang Yu in the crowd.

"My apologies for the disturbance."

Outside the restaurant.

Zhou Bufan really couldn't understand why the boss would order a retreat, especially since those people inside were significantly related to several nearby homicides.

The elder came out.

"Boss…"

Before he could finish, the elder raised his hand, cutting off what he was about to say—

"I know what you're going to say… those who died, you needn't bother with them. As for those who fought, just investigate and penalize where necessary."

"Are you mistaken? Turning a homicide into a mere brawl?"

The elder suddenly looked up, glaring at him, and said, "Zhou Bufan, I warn you, don't inquire further into this matter… moreover, there's someone inside you cannot afford to offend. If you jeopardize the big picture, you'll regret it!"

"—"

Zhou Bufan was speechless.

He wasn't foolish, and when the boss issued these warnings, he suddenly remembered the last investigation concerning a homicide on the rooftop of Qingcheng International.

That time, he had asked his subordinate to inquire about Fang Yu.

However… the answer from his superiors was: classified document, insufficient clearance, unable to view!

Piecing it together, he seemed to understand a bit.

Seeing the perplexed looks on his subordinates' faces, Zhou Bufan said, "Retreat!"

After the tense atmosphere had dissipated, the restaurant became awkward.

Ji Qiubai was here.

Yan Hu was here.

Finally, Fang Yu showed a smile and said, "It's late today, everyone should go back and rest early. Thanks for your help, next time I'll treat you to drinks!"

Picking up a glass of wine from the table, he glanced around and then drained it in one gulp.

Then he threw the wine glass onto the table, his expression changed to cold and indifferent, not giving others a chance to speak, and turned to leave the old restaurant.

Seeing Fang Yu's behavior, a bit perplexed, Yan Hu hurriedly said, "Brother Ji, don't be upset, Brother Yu just got ambushed, he's not in a good mood."

"It's okay, I understand," Ji Qiubai stared at Fang Yu's retreating figure, deep in thought.

Honestly, Fang Yu suddenly didn't want to get involved in the underworld disputes anymore. He felt very tired, emotionally drained. He wanted to get away from this noisy place, away from all these insincere faces…

He didn't say anything to Ji Qiubai or Yan Hu.

The moment he stepped out of the restaurant, his lips curled into a cold smile, he quietly shook his head, and slowly walked towards home.

Seeing this, Xu Zhaopei bowed her head and followed him.

She stayed silent, following closely behind Fang Yu.

They walked for nearly half an hour.

As a man, Fang Yu felt nothing peculiar, but Xu Zhaopei felt her feet aching.

"You can go back, no need to follow me," Fang Yu stopped and said.

"I won't go back," Xu Zhaopei shook her head.

"Then what do you want to do?" Fang Yu looked directly at Xu Zhaopei.

Xu Zhaopei showed a puzzled expression, looking at Fang Yu.

She was not intimidated by such a man; perhaps his essence housed a cold-hearted demon.

"Are you very curious?" Fang Yu asked.

Xu Zhaopei summoned her courage and nodded, "I am really curious… why are you leaving? And, you seem very upset."

"Should I be happy?" Fang Yu gave a wry smile.

"What do you mean?" Xu Zhaopei didn't understand.

"Do you really not understand?" Fang Yu's voice changed, a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Do you really think those five dead were ordinary people?"

"Who are they?" Xu Zhaopei asked curiously.

"These are not characters from a novel or TV show... they are assassins from the border!" Fang Yu spoke calmly.

Xu Zhaopei was taken aback, unable to believe it.

"Do you know who is behind these people?" Fang Yu asked back.

"I don't know." Xu Zhaopei showed a puzzled expression.

Of course, she couldn't possibly know.

But she was anxious to know the answer, so she looked at Fang Yu intently, waiting for his next words.

But instead of speaking, Fang Yu sighed.

"Are you saying—" Xu Zhaopei suddenly thought of something, her heart filled with disbelief, she uttered.

"You finally understand." Fang Yu nodded indifferently.

"But, didn't Yan Hu say he has been your brother for over a decade?" Xu Zhaopei still harbored some disbelief deep inside.

"Yan Hu indeed has been my brother for over a decade, but what about the others?" Fang Yu counter-questioned.

Xu Zhaopei was slightly stunned, feeling her lips trembling.

She didn't want to believe it, yet reality was cruel.

"Ji Qiubai is also your brother!" Xu Zhaopei said.

"He is not my brother!" Fang Yu intended to say that he used to be, but now he is not. Thinking it over, he decided it was better to simply deny it altogether.

Looking at Fang Yu's profile under the moonlight, he seemed unusually handsome... Xu Zhaopei watched him foolishly.

She could see it, the trouble and pain of being betrayed by a brother that he was enduring.

Yet he always appeared so relaxed and comfortable.

"I should go back now." Fang Yu said indifferently.

"Oh." Xu Zhaopei was reluctant, but nodded in acknowledgment.

She watched Fang Yu leave until his figure completely disappeared from her sight.

In the middle of the night.

Fang Yu quietly and stealthily returned to his room.

Fortunately, Jiang Wei slept early; usually, at this time, she would be working at her desk until early morning...

Just as he lay down in bed, a figure burst through the door—Fang Yu, being the keen person he is, quickly got up.

Darn, forgot to lock the door.

"Pervert! It's me!"

"Xiaoxiao? What are you up to now? I'm warning you, don't just barge into my room. I have my limits..." Fang Yu frowned.

This girl is becoming more and more unreasonable!

"Cut it out, stop pretending." Jiang Xiaoxiao, wearing pajamas and barefooted, sat down on Fang Yu's bed.

Her slim figure seemed angelic, the snow-white pajamas outlining her perfectly shaped form that hinted at her future beauty.

"What are you doing? Trying to seduce me? Get out!" Fang Yu pointed towards the door.

"I spit—seduce you? With that look of yours, you're dreaming." Jiang Xiaoxiao spat out vehemently.

"Little brat, what nonsense fills your head all day?" Fang Yu was speechless at her attitude.

"Stop it, I want to ask you... Are you really engaged to Peipei?" Jiang Xiaoxiao asked nosily.

"Yes, what about it?"

"You're still lying! I figured it out..."

Fang Yu was shocked, could it be, this little girl is that clever?

"How did you figure it out?" Fang Yu asked curiously.

"With my eyes." Jiang Xiaoxiao said proudly.

"Nonsense, tell me honestly how you figured it out, or I'll tell your sister that you burst into a gentleman's room to harass a good young man at night..." Fang Yu threatened.

The mention of Jiang Wei immediately made the girl deflate, she pulled a face, unapologetically saying:

"I understand lip-reading..."

Wow, didn't expect this little niece to be so skilled, impressive.

"You must keep this a secret..." Fang Yu stretched and yawned, "Go back to sleep, I have work tomorrow. Every extra minute you delay me is a life hanging in balance at the hospital."

"Whatever, I'm not leaving; I have something to ask you." Jiang Xiaoxiao stubbornly stayed.

"Hurry up and ask." Fang Yu was somewhat helpless.

Jiang Xiaoxiao blinked her big eyes and asked:

"Do you, like my sister?"
