Chapter 125 — She's a Bit Reckless - "He Wants to Meet You, but I Haven't Agreed Yet, I Just Told Him I'd Try to Help Him Get in Touch." Yang Huaijun Said: "I Don't Know What Mission You Are on This Time, and I Should Not Ask Too Much. If It Is Inconvenient for You, Then Don't Meet Him."

"Mission..." Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile and rubbed his nose. "I really have no idea what this mission is all about. I am baffled myself... Since he is your lifesaver, how could I refuse to meet him? Meet him, of course I will..."

"Huh? Don't force yourself..." Yang Huaijun felt a surge of emotion. He knew Wei Zhao was not a man who liked to meddle in idle business. If it were not for him, Wei Zhao would never have bothered to meet a stranger.

"What is there to force? I am idle anyway." Wei Zhao smiled. "Besides, now that I have you, a criminal police captain, backing me up, it will be much easier for me to get things done in Songshan City..."

"Good, then you set a time." Yang Huaijun wasted no words. With the friendship between him and Wei Zhao, there was no need for any more words of thanks. That would have been vulgar.

"Tomorrow? Go and tell Wang Zhifeng that I have to go to the police station tomorrow to make a statement, so I can get away cleanly. Otherwise it will count as skipping class, and I don't want that..." Wei Zhao said, pointing toward the door.

"Good, I will go and arrange it in a while." Yang Huaijun nodded. These were all trifles.

"By the way, the moment I came in, with all your talk I almost forgot the real business. I prepared some medicine for you. Take it back and drink it. After you finish the first stage, the condition inside your body will be greatly relieved. Then I will give you the second stage medicine, and in about three months you can return to normal." Wei Zhao said.

"Three months?" Yang Huaijun froze, staring blankly at Wei Zhao.

"Even if it is fast, it will still take two months." Wei Zhao thought Yang Huaijun found it too long. "Although the herbal decoction does not taste very good, for the sake of curing your illness, just endure it for two months..."

"Wei Zhao, you are not joking, are you? In two months my body can return to normal? Just like a normal person?" Yang Huaijun grew excited. "Really? The doctor said that if my condition could be kept from getting worse, that would already be the best luck imaginable, and yet it can actually return to normal?"

"Uh... So you were not afraid of taking medicine?" Wei Zhao smiled. "Don't you trust my word..."

"I trust you! Of course I trust you! It is just that I am really too shocked!" Yang Huaijun really was shocked, but he had absolute faith in Wei Zhao's words! On the battlefield, through so many crises when they were about to be caught by the enemy, it was only through Wei Zhao's correct judgments time and again that they escaped danger, and even turned back to ambush the enemy... So Wei Zhao's authority in the squad was supreme, and his words were carried out by the members absolutely and without reservation. "You kid... Afraid of taking medicine? I felt nothing when bullets hit my body. Would I be afraid of drinking Chinese medicine? Are you mocking me..."

"Heh... That is not necessarily true. I have seen men who fear nothing under heaven and earth, yet are afraid of injections and pills..." Wei Zhao smiled. "Come with me to the classroom in a while and I will get it for you."

"Captain, you are really amazing!" Yang Huaijun truly could not describe the joy in his heart with words! He had originally thought that every day he lived was a bonus, living one day at a time, holding on until the day when painkillers and massage no longer worked, and then he could go and die, yet he never expected that Wei Zhao could actually cure him!

However, although Wei Zhao was like a god in the squad, Yang Huaijun still could not hide the shock in his heart. Wei Zhao was definitely not old. If his guess was right, he should be about the same age as Xiao Ning, seven or eight years younger than himself, yet he seemed omnipotent and capable of everything. He really had no idea where he had learned it all.

"To be honest, I miss those days a little, with bullets raining every day..." Hearing Yang Huaijun call him 'Captain', Wei Zhao felt a touch of emotion.

"Yes, and Xiao Ning..." Yang Huaijun stopped abruptly at this point, because he saw Wei Zhao's expression change sharply upon hearing those two words... "Let's not talk about this..." Wei Zhao sighed. "What is past is past."

"But... Xiao Ning is still asking about you... I..." Although Yang Huaijun felt sorry for Xiao Ning, he did not want to go against the captain's wishes either.

"Then tell her that Eagle is already dead." Wei Zhao said lightly, a trace of sorrow flashing through his eyes. Indeed, he had now taken on another identity. Every mission was a new life for him, and when the mission ended, that life ended too.

"But..." Yang Huaijun still wanted to say something, but Wei Zhao cut him off.

"Next time you see her, just tell her that." Wei Zhao said. "A short pain is better than a long one. You know very well in your heart that we are not suited for each other. Perhaps I will die some day. You don't want her to be widowed, do you?"

Yang Huaijun lowered his head helplessly. Wei Zhao was right. His life was even more dangerous than his own present profession as a policeman. Although Wei Zhao was like a god of war, who could guarantee that a god of war could not die?

"Then what about you and Xiao Song in our team..." Yang Huaijun suddenly thought of Qiu Lingshan, whose relationship with Wei Zhao seemed rather ambiguous.

"If I say there is nothing between us, do you believe me?" Wei Zhao gave a bitter smile. He had not expected that even Yang Huaijun had heard about what happened at the hospital. The news had spread a bit too fast.

"All right, I believe you." Yang Huaijun nodded. "But purely from a professional point of view, you two are quite well matched. This girl rushes to the front line every time, going wherever it is dangerous..."

"Hehe... I can see that. She's a bit reckless." Wei Zhao smiled. "Actually, she is quite cute too. So, are you not considering her?"

"The age gap is too big. She treats me like an elder brother and leader. If I had any ideas about her, would that not be sordid?" Yang Huaijun smiled. "Besides, my marriage is not for me to decide. You know, now that I have transferred to a local post, the family has made me part of its overall plan. Probably after the New Year next year, they will arrange blind dates for me."

"Let's go. Come with me to get the medicine." Wei Zhao stood up and walked toward the door, and Yang Huaijun quickly rose to follow him.

Wang Zhifeng had not gone far, waiting quietly by the window at the end of the corridor. Seeing the door of the academic affairs office open, Wang Zhifeng walked over quickly. "Captain Yang, how did it go? Is there anything wrong?"

"It is all cleared up. There is nothing wrong. Student Wei Zhao was only acting in self-defense. He just needs to go to the police station tomorrow to complete a statement." Yang Huaijun nodded to Wang Zhifeng. "I am going with Student Wei Zhao to his classroom to get some materials now. Director Wang, you don't need to come along."

"Oh... That's good." Hearing Yang Huaijun say there was nothing wrong, Wang Zhifeng felt relieved.
