Yunnan People's Hospital.
"Qiuling, are you alright?"
Lu Zhongnian asked with concern, looking at Niu Qiuling, who was guarding Niu Jinwu's bedside.
"I'm fine."
Niu Qiuling turned her head, shook her head slightly at him, and then asked, "By the way, have Wan Yunting and the others returned?"
"They have."
Lu Zhongnian smiled and said, "They flew back with Zhao Gang, escorting Peng Ka."
"That's good."
Hearing that Wan Yunting had returned, Niu Qiuling breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared and asked, "Is he injured?"
Lu Zhongnian was stunned. Niu Dahai, who had just entered, glanced at his daughter. "He's not injured, he's fine."
"Dad..."
Seeing her father, Niu Qiuling's small face blushed with embarrassment. How could Niu Dahai not see his daughter's feelings for Wan Yunting?
"They have now been sent back to the police station for questioning," Lu Zhongnian said with a smile.
"Oh."
Niu Qiuling nodded, pouted her lips, and got up to say, "I'm going back to the police station..."
"Where are you running off to?"
Niu Dahai reprimanded, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, you're not allowed to be discharged."
"Dad, my injuries are fine," Niu Qiuling said coquettishly, pouting.
"Hehe, hurry up and go,"
Lu Zhongnian, who had also seen through Niu Qiuling's thoughts, waved at her with a smile. Niu Qiuling immediately showed a cheerful smile. "Thank you, Uncle Lu, I'm leaving..."
"Slow down..."
Watching his daughter skip away, Niu Dahai sighed helplessly. Lu Zhongnian finished his sentence for him, "A daughter grows up and leaves her parents."
Niu Dahai glared at him, "She's not your daughter."
"Haha..."
Lu Zhongnian burst out laughing and said, "But Old Niu, you have to thank him properly. After all, your son's life was saved by him. And catching Peng Ka and Pala, I have to say that Wan Yunting is quite capable, a talented person."
Niu Dahai nodded, but he raised an eyebrow, "However, that Wan Yunting is too scheming and not suitable for important tasks!"
"Oh?" Lu Zhongnian asked, somewhat confused.
Niu Dahai said, "You should know about Peng Ka's treasury, right?"
"Of course."
Lu Zhongnian nodded and said, "I've already ordered people to search around Mian County. After all, it's always been rumored that the drug king Peng Ka had a lot of gold in his treasury."
Niu Dahai raised an eyebrow and said, "According to Wan Yunting, they encountered Peng Ka and his men on their way back to Meiles yesterday and exchanged fire. Our people investigated the scene, and most of the dead were Peng Ka's men, as well as a few people sent by Ye Jiao."
"Based on the scene, Wan Yunting and Yang Dong should have had the upper hand. How could they have let Peng Ka escape and only caught him after chasing all night?"
Hearing him say this, Lu Zhongnian also found it suspicious. "Then what do you think happened last night?"
Niu Dahai glared and said, "They might have gone to look for the treasury!"
Lu Zhongnian frowned. "You mean, Wan Yunting captured Peng Ka and the others, forced them to reveal the location of the treasury, and then went to find it. Now, Wan Yunting isn't saying anything, intending to pocket the treasury for himself?"
Niu Dahai nodded and said, "Based on the time they appeared this morning, it should be correct."
"That shouldn't be the case!"
Lu Zhongnian expressed his doubt. "According to Old Pang, Wan Yunting is quite upright. Especially in prison, his performance was excellent. He shouldn't have done something like this, right?"
Niu Dahai shook his head and smiled, "Perhaps he saw Peng Ka's treasury and became greedy. It's not impossible. After all, ordinary people can't resist the temptation of money."
Lu Zhongnian found it plausible, but he felt the logic was flawed. "But there's a problem. If Wan Yunting and the others really found Peng Ka's treasury last night and pocketed it, then they should have killed Peng Ka and Pala to silence them. Why did they bring them back to us?"
"Don't we just need to interrogate Peng Ka to find out about this matter?"
Niu Dahai raised an eyebrow, nodded, and said, "This indeed doesn't make sense."
"Old Niu, aren't you being too suspicious?" Lu Zhongnian looked at Niu Dahai and smiled, "Are you perhaps suspicious of him because of Qiuling?"
"What are you talking about."
Niu Dahai gave him a sideways glance, "I just have a gut feeling that something was amiss last night."
"Alright."
Lu Zhongnian waved his hand and smiled, "Once we interrogate Peng Ka and Pala, if they don't say anything, it will prove that Wan Yunting and the others didn't find the treasury and pocket it."
"Mmm."
Niu Dahai nodded, waved for Lu Zhongnian to go about his business, and he went to check on his son. Due to the severe torture in the dungeon, he was still not out of danger...
Yunnan Ruili Police Station.
After a brief interrogation by Zhao Gang and his team, Wan Yunting, Fierce Tiger, Ground Snake, and the others were arranged to rest at a hotel in the afternoon.
"Boss Wan, when are we going back to Huadu?" Fierce Tiger and the others asked Wan Yunting as they came out of the police station.
Just as Wan Yunting was about to reply, he saw a car stop at the entrance. Niu Qiuling got out, saw Wan Yunting, and quickly walked over...
Wan Yunting smiled and greeted her, asking, "Are you injured?"
Niu Qiuling's almond-shaped eyes widened as she scrutinized him. Seeing that Wan Yunting was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, then gave him an arrogant look and pouted, "How dare you ask? If it weren't for you, I would have been injured."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Wan Yunting smiled and went up to her. He indeed felt guilty about Niu Qiuling's injury, as Sirius had been lurking in the room that night to assassinate him.
"But after all, I saved your elder brother. Can this matter be settled?" Wan Yunting asked with a smile.
"Alright, this matter is barely settled."
Niu Qiuling nodded, her almond eyes glancing at him. Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Perfect, can you give us a ride back to the hotel?"
"Sure."
Niu Qiuling was happy and immediately called two police officers to drive Wan Yunting, Fierce Tiger, Ground Snake, and the others to the hotel. After arranging their accommodation, Niu Qiuling asked, "When are you going back to Huadu?"
"Tomorrow, probably."
Wan Yunting leaned back comfortably on the sofa in the living room, took a puff of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled.
After the trip to the Golden Triangle, everyone had gone through gunfights and lived in constant fear. Now that they were finally safely back in the country, Fierce Tiger and Ground Snake could finally put their minds at ease.
"Why not stay a few more days?"
Hearing that he was leaving tomorrow, Niu Qiuling frowned and pouted.
"Why should I stay?"
Wan Yunting turned his head to look at her standing beside him, her pretty face unable to hide her disappointment. He said with a smile, "Give me a reason to stay for a few days!"
Niu Qiuling, realizing her lapse, became a little flustered and perfunctorily said, "You can stay and visit around Yunnan, like Dali, Lijiang, Erhai Lake, and other beautiful scenic spots..."
"Tch, I thought you wanted to take me to meet your parents." Wan Yunting gave her a look and teased her with a wicked grin.
"You, what are you talking about."
Niu Qiuling's small face instantly turned red. Fierce Tiger and Ground Snake beside them couldn't help but laugh. Knowing that he was teasing her, Niu Qiuling glared at them angrily and rebuked, "What are you laughing at? Don't laugh."
Fierce Tiger and Ground Snake quickly covered their mouths to stifle their laughter, then said to Wan Yunting, "Boss Wan, we'll go back to the room next door to rest. We won't disturb you..."
"Have some awareness, get lost," Wan Yunting glared at them. Fierce Tiger and Ground Snake quickly ran away.
Niu Qiuling was so embarrassed that she stood there looking flustered, which made Wan Yunting laugh. He continued to tease her, "If you can accompany me, I'll stay for two more days."
