Seeing Crime Scenes in My Sleep

Jiang Li stood at the doorway, her eyes red, looking at the listless Zhao Shuo inside.

Zhao Shuo saw Jiang Li standing at the door and stretched his lips into a familiar smile. "Blessed with good fortune and a tough hide. I managed to cheat death, so it’s not a loss."

"Didn’t they say an operation would fix it? You’ll be fine."

Zhao Shuo smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I’ll be fine."

Lu Xingye walked in carrying a container of congee. "Brother Zhao, don’t worry. We’ll definitely find the best surgeon to operate on you.

He’ll be here this afternoon. Once the surgery’s done, you’ll be okay."

Lu Xingye’s hands trembled slightly as he set down the insulated container.

When Zhao Shuo was brought in, the doctor said that if he’d been any later, the tissue would have become completely necrotic, and they would have had to amputate.

"Yeah, don’t worry. It’s just a minor injury. And it wasn’t a loss—we didn’t let a single one of them get away." As Zhao Shuo spoke, his eyes reddened.

When Shi Xingchao rammed into him, he was clearly trying to kill him.

’Good thing I was on the periphery. If I’d been in the middle of it, I wouldn’t be lying here right now.’

"Jiang Li, what did the doctor say about your hand?"

Zhao Shuo changed the subject, looking at Jiang Li’s hand. One of them with an injured hand, the other with an injured leg... It was really...

"It’s nothing. Just a few stitches. It’ll be fine in a few months."

Zhao Shuo nodded, a wave of exhaustion washing over him.

"Brother Zhao, you get some rest. We won’t disturb you."

After speaking, Lu Xingye left with Jiang Li.

The two of them sat down on a bench outside the room.

Jiang Li looked at Lu Xingye. "Lu Xingye, do you know someone named Kun Sha?"

"Kun Sha! Is he after you?" Lu Xingye’s expression immediately grew tense.

"I just heard Shi Xingchao mention him and wanted to learn a bit more."

Seeing how tense he was, Jiang Li decided to be more reserved.

"Kun Sha... There are many rumors about him. The number one figure in the Golden Triangle, he once controlled eighty percent of the drug trade.

He’s ruthless and vicious. But he was driven out ten years ago. Everyone at the police academy knows his story."

A chill went down Jiang Li’s spine when she heard this.

’Ten years ago... Ten years ago, I was still in some forgotten corner of the world. Why would he target me for no reason?’

Lu Xingye looked at Jiang Li. ’Kun Sha has never entered the country. How could he possibly be after Jiang Li?’

That afternoon, the doctor the hospital had contacted arrived.

Jiang Li stared at Chi Yu, who had just appeared. ’He’s Zhao Shuo’s surgeon?’

Chi Yu had people following him, and he was getting briefed on Zhao Shuo’s condition as he walked. When he saw Jiang Li, he merely glanced at her before continuing forward.

"The surgery is scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning." Chi Yu handed the file to the person beside him and walked into the hospital room.

Hearing the commotion, Zhao Shuo opened his eyes and looked over.

"Hello, Officer Zhao. I’m Chi Yu, your surgeon for this procedure. Rest assured, I will do my absolute best."

"I’m in your hands, then," Zhao Shuo said, looking at the distinguished Chi Yu.

"It’s no trouble at all." A gentle smile touched the corners of Chi Yu’s mouth.

He had volunteered for this surgery. He just felt that a police officer like Zhao Shuo shouldn’t have to live with any regrets.

After leaving the room, Chi Yu went to the workstation the hospital had assigned him and reviewed Zhao Shuo’s various test reports.

Seeing Chi Yu reminded Jiang Li of the grandfather in City A. She had Yu Huannian make a call to get reacquainted.

Yu Huannian took out his phone and stepped to the side.

"Hello? Grandfather, are you in good health?"

Hearing Yu Huannian’s voice, Yu Zhen Guo almost thought his ears were playing tricks on him.

None of these kids had called him once since they went back. He was starting to think he’d been duped and was even planning to make a trip to see them.

But now, unexpectedly, Yu Huannian was actually calling him.

"Ah, Xiao Nian! How have you been lately?"

"I’m doing well," Yu Huannian said, listening to the voice on the other end.

"Oh, that’s good, that’s good. If you miss your grandpa, just come over. I’ll have someone pick you all up."

Yu Zhen Guo sat up straighter, wanting to chat a bit more.

"Okay, sounds good, Grandfather. We’ll talk next time."

With that, Yu Huannian hung up.

"Ah! This kid..." Yu Zhen Guo sighed helplessly, looking at the disconnected call.

"I made the call." Yu Huannian returned to his seat and glanced at the time. It was six in the evening.

"We should head back."

Yu Huannian stood up and looked at Jiang Li.

"Oh, okay."

Jiang Li obediently got up. In other matters, her word was law, but when it came to her health, Yu Huannian wouldn’t listen to her at all.

"Well, Lu Xingye, I’m heading back now."

"Okay. Focus on your recovery." Lu Xingye stood up to see them downstairs. He still had to stay at the hospital to watch over Zhao Shuo.

Every day, Yu Huannian tried all sorts of ways to cook nourishing foods for Jiang Li, while Wu Ming bought a pile of scar-removal creams.

Miao Anji watched the two of them bustling about, considered her own methods, but then dismissed the thought. ’It’s too painful. Not suitable for Sister.’

「The next day.」

Zhao Shuo had his surgery. Jiang Li and the others rushed over to wait outside the operating room.

Ji Qinghe and Zhou Tiancheng were still busy and didn’t have time to come.

Jiang Li leaned nervously against the wall, praying silently.

’The surgery has to be a success!’

The operating room light went out, and Chi Yu walked out.

"The surgery went very smoothly. If his recovery goes well, he’ll be able to walk normally, though running might be difficult."

"Thank you, Doctor Chi."
