“Your teacher’s student?”
Hearing Qin Bian Que’s words, Shen Lang chuckled, “Old Qin, it seems you’ve been detained for too long, causing your nerves to go a bit haywire. What teacher’s student? It makes no sense, it’s all jumbled. I suppose I shouldn’t have come to see you.”
With that, Shen Lang stood up and said, “Apologies, I’m leaving now.”
“Shen Lang, don’t go, you can’t leave.”
Seeing Shen Lang about to turn away, Qin Bian Que became anxious. “I know your teacher’s student is related to you, and only you can persuade her to testify for me. You must help me.”
“My teacher’s student is related to me?”
Shen Lang heard this and said helplessly, “Old Qin, you’re under too much pressure and are severely delirious. How long have I been in Nanling? I only have a handful of people around me, but none of them could possibly testify for you.”
“No, you know her. Not only do you know her, but your relationship with her is also very unusual.”
Qin Bian Que spoke, “Bing once investigated her identity. Her name is Wang Yuyan, and she’s your fiancée.”
“Nonsense.”
Shen Lang heard this and impatiently retorted, “Yuyan has just turned eighteen. How could she be involved in those nonsensical things you’re talking about? Sorry, Old Qin, I truly have no more patience for you.”
After speaking, Shen Lang strode out of the detention room.
“Shen Lang, I’m telling the truth! You must find Wang Yuyan. In this world, only she can prove that I didn’t defect to the Killing Dao Association. I was a mole infiltrated into the Killing Dao Association to obtain their experimental data. You must believe me. I can die, but I cannot die in such an unclear manner.”
After Shen Lang left the detention room, Qin Bian Que’s hysterical roars echoed from behind him.
“Let’s go–”
As Shen Lang pondered what madness Qin Bian Que was experiencing, Song Shadao followed him out of the detention room and said with a smile.
Soon, the two left the heavily guarded detention area and returned to Song Shadao’s office.
“Shen Lang, what do you think of what Qin Bian Que just said?”
Song Shadao looked at his nephew and asked with a smile.
“Pure nonsense.”
Shen Lang shook his head and said, “I would have believed him even if he said Qing Han could testify for him, but why insist on Yuyan?”
“I believe what he said.”
Song Shadao’s attitude was the opposite of Shen Lang’s. “At first, I also thought Qin Bian Que had defected to the Killing Dao Association and had been acting as their accomplice all these years. However, after questioning him for so long, I’ve realized that Qin Bian Que is not that kind of person. Although there’s no evidence, I believe his words in my heart.”
“Uncle, you believe him?”
Hearing Song Shadao’s words, Shen Lang looked surprised and said.
“What? You don’t believe him?”
Song Shadao countered, “If you didn’t believe him, you wouldn’t have handed him over to the Martial Guard Department.”
“Alright, I do believe some of what he said, I won’t hide that. But for him to say Yuyan can testify for him, that I don’t believe.”
Shen Lang spoke, “Asking me to find Yuyan to prove his innocence, that sounds ridiculous. How can I even bring it up with Yuyan?”
Hearing his nephew’s words, Song Shadao smiled and said, “Wang Yuyan is indeed as beautiful as a celestial being, but her background is not as simple as you think. Her background is shrouded in a mist, and even I haven’t been able to fathom it all these years.”
“Perhaps Qin Bian Que is telling the truth, and you should go and ask Wang Yuyan about it.”
Shen Lang fell silent this time. More than proving Qin Bian Que’s innocence, Shen Lang was now preoccupied with how to face Wang Yuyan.
Shen Lang liked Wang Yuyan, that was undeniable. But in his current situation, Shen Lang could only hurt Wang Yuyan.
Thinking about how his actions had hurt Wang Yuyan, he felt he no longer had the right to ask Wang Yuyan to testify for Qin Bian Que.
“Think about it carefully. Don’t worry, until conclusive evidence emerges, I will not release Qin Bian Que, nor will I let anyone harm him.”
Song Shadao looked at his nephew, smiled, and said.
“Okay, Uncle. I’ll go find Qin Long and the others then.”
Shen Lang nodded with a smile and then left Song Shadao’s office. Five minutes later, Shen Lang arrived at Qin Long’s office and found Qin Long smiling as he brewed tea.
“Brother Shen, you’re here?”
Upon seeing Shen Lang enter, Qin Long stood up despite his injuries and said.
“Brother Qin, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Seeing Qin Long stand up, Shen Lang quickly said, “You’re the team leader now, and I’m the deputy. If you’re this polite, you’ll lose authority later.”
“Haha, what authority? I don’t care about that. I only care about apprehending criminals and the safety of our brothers and sisters.”
Qin Long looked at Shen Lang and sighed, “If you had been in Yang Country last time, our brothers and sisters wouldn’t have suffered so many casualties. In fact, you should be the team leader, and I should be the deputy assisting you.”
“No, Brother Qin, don’t say that, or I won’t be able to stay in the Martial Guard Department.”
Shen Lang sat opposite Qin Long, picked up the cup filled with tea by Qin Long, and said with a smile, “You know me. The main reason I joined the Martial Guard Department was for my sister. She’s pregnant now, but her personality is definitely restless. She’ll be the first to go on any dangerous mission. I joined the Martial Guard Department to let her know that with me here, I’ll solve all her troubles.”
“Haha, I heard about your situation. I always thought you two were a perfect match. When are you getting married? I’ll definitely give you a big red envelope.”
Qin Long looked at Shen Lang and said with a smile.
“The wedding hasn’t been finalized yet. Once it is, I’ll definitely send you an invitation, Brother Qin. But it won’t be too long.”
Shen Lang looked at Qin Long and said, “Brother Qin, you are the team leader, and I have something to discuss with you. I wonder what your opinion is?”
“What is it? Tell me, I’m listening.”
Qin Long had always held Shen Lang in awe. Hearing Shen Lang’s words, he immediately sat up straighter, as if listening to a divine decree.
“It’s like this, I want to create a training plan for the Special Operations Team members to improve their combat effectiveness in a short period. Within half a month, their strength will reach a new height.”
“That’s a good thing! Of course, I have no objections.”
Qin Long said, “Once you finalize the training plan, all the team members and I will immediately begin training.”
“Great–”
Shen Lang smiled upon hearing this and then took out a white medicinal bottle from his pocket and handed it to Qin Long. “This is a specially made Jin Chuang medicine. It has a miraculous effect in treating external injuries. No matter how severe the external wound, sprinkle some powder on it, and it will scab over within two hours.”
“What?”
Hearing Shen Lang’s words, Qin Long was shocked. “Is there really Jin Chuang medicine with such efficacy in this world?”
“Yes, I developed it. It’s unique.”
