Since the incident with Qin Bianque, Shen Lang had lost contact with "Bing" because Shen Lang found "Bing's" thoughts too unfathomable.
However, for Chu Ge's sake, Shen Lang had to contact the other party again, as Shen Lang knew that only "Bing" could quickly help him confirm if Chu Ling'er's sister was indeed the person from Shen Lang's memory.
With this thought, Shen Lang took out his phone, opened "Bing's" WeChat, and slowly typed out a line.
"Bing, help me check Chu Ge, the sister of Chu Ling'er, the owner of Nanling Jiangnan Renjia Restaurant. I need all detailed information, sent to me as soon as possible."
Shen Lang did not set a time limit this time, as he hoped "Bing" would investigate slowly and thoroughly.
"Okay—"
As soon as Shen Lang sent the message, a reply came in the next second.
"Shen Lang, we are old friends. I can help you with this favor, but you tricked me last time regarding Qin Bianque, so you need to help me with another favor to make up for that mistake."
"Bing" slowly typed out a line via WeChat and said.
"I can help, but anything that involves murder, arson, or betraying the country is out. Of course, anything like directly taking Qin Bianque from the Wuwai Department is also out. You can ask for anything else."
Shen Lang said, "I have my principles. Anything that doesn't violate my principles can be negotiated."
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to commit murder, arson, or betray the country. I'm not that kind of person."
"Bing" replied, "The favor I'm asking you to do this time is much easier than protecting Qin Bianque. I just need you to use your medical skills to treat a patient for me."
"A patient?"
Shen Lang replied, "What kind of patient?"
"A very distinguished patient. Don't ask about his identity for now. I will arrange for you to meet him when he arrives in Nanling."
"Bing" replied, "Asking you to treat an illness and save a life, this shouldn't violate your principles, right?"
"Of course not."
Shen Lang sent a smiley face and replied, "Even if it's a heinous criminal, a doctor should save them. It's their duty. At worst, I can find an opportunity to kill him later."
"You fellow, you're still the same, haven't changed at all. It seems that acknowledging Shen Tianjun and Song Qingyi as your parents, and having Song Shadao as your uncle, these things have no impact on you at all."
"Bing" said more this time, "From an orphan without parents, you suddenly have parents and an uncle. Moreover, your father Shen Tianjun and uncle Song Shadao are both top-tier powerhouses in the world. Can these things truly leave you unfazed?"
"No matter how strong my father and uncle are, that's their business, not mine. I neither rely on their influence to bully others, nor do I need them to help me. How can my heart change?"
Shen Lang was not surprised that "Bing" knew about his affairs. The organization "Bing" belonged to was called Tianluo, the heavenly net, which was all-encompassing. If "Bing" didn't even know about this matter, Shen Lang wouldn't bother with them.
"Alright, I won't mention it again."
"Bing" seemed unsurprised by Shen Lang's answer and replied, "We'll drop the matter of Qin Bianque. I hope you'll put in some effort and definitely cure my patient, as he is my major client."
"Got it."
Shen Lang replied, and then they ended the chat.
With "Bing's" help, Shen Lang believed the matter would be resolved soon.
Soon after, the dishes ordered by Gu Qinghan were served, and the group began to eat ravenously. After the meal, Shen Lang and the others returned to the Wuwai Department. While Gu Qinghan and the others continued to their offices to process case files, Shen Lang went to Qin Long's office.
When Shen Lang entered, Qin Long's injuries had already healed, and he was full of vigor.
"Brother Shen, you're here?"
Seeing Shen Lang enter, Qin Long was overjoyed and said, "Your hemostatic powder is truly miraculous. I was stabbed over a dozen times and shot several times in the Yang Kingdom last time, but your hemostatic powder only took two hours to scar and heal me."
"It's not just me; the other brothers are the same. All the injured brothers have now recovered, and everyone is waiting for your command."
Since Qin Long lost to Shen Lang in their first spar, he had been completely convinced. Since then, he had received Shen Lang's help time and again, and Qin Long admired Shen Lang to the point of following his every word.
"Brother Qin, next, we need to start training."
Hearing Qin Long's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Our training is not only preparation for the trip to the Yang Kingdom, but also to participate in the grand martial arts competition in three days. My uncle said he wants to win the championship."
"Win the championship?"
Qin Long already knew from Gu Qinghan that Shen Lang was Song Shadao's nephew, so he didn't find Shen Lang's address problematic. However, upon hearing that Song Shadao intended to win the championship in the grand martial arts competition in three days, he looked incredulous and said, "What has Old Song been through to have such a goal? We go to these competitions every year just to participate, never to win."
"Brother Shen, you don't know, other cities' Wuwai Departments basically form their teams half a year before the competition and train intensely every day to win. Do you think it's not wishful thinking for us to win?"
"No, absolutely not."
Shen Lang said with a smile, "Before I came, it might have been wishful thinking, but with me here, it's not. We will not only win the championship, but we will also defeat all opponents with absolute strength, making everyone wholeheartedly convinced."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Long was stunned and said, "Brother Shen, are you serious?"
"Of course, I am."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "While we were eating just now, I formulated a complete training plan. I've already printed out the training plan and I need to organize everyone to start training immediately."
"Okay—"
Seeing Shen Lang's full confidence, Qin Long also became excited and said, "Brother Shen, if you say we can do it, I will listen to you. If we can truly win the championship, it will let the people from other Wuwai Departments know that Nanling also has talented individuals, and it will temper their arrogance."
Qin Long was an efficient person. As soon as the message was sent, Qin Long quickly summoned more than forty members of the special operations team to the Wuwai Department's training ground.
After everyone had assembled, Shen Lang followed Qin Long downstairs. Contrary to the contempt everyone had shown Shen Lang when they first met, this time, whether it was Long Zi, Xiong Zi, or others, their eyes were filled with absolute reverence as they looked at Shen Lang.
After all, Shen Lang's strength and achievements were undeniable. He commanded respect.
Long Zi said excitedly to Shen Lang, "Team Leader Shen, we are ready. Bring on any 'perverted' training methods you have, and I guarantee no one will complain."
"Perverted methods?"
Shen Lang smiled upon hearing this, "Don't worry, my training methods won't disappoint you."
