Chapter 388: Chapter 277 - Untitled (Third Update)_2

Soon after, Deputy Chief Zhang approached Mu Lin again. "Thanks for handling that earlier problem, Doctor Mu," she said, referring to the potentially poisonous incident Mu Lin had just stopped. Without Mu Lin, they might have been poisoned. Deputy Chief Zhang wanted to ask Mu Lin if she could remedy the poison. If she could, they wouldn’t have to be afraid anymore.

But on second thought, she decided not to ask.

It was too bad that ordinary people did not understand that procuring the services of a Poison Doctor was expensive unless the doctor found them likable. Nevertheless, out of respect for Ren Laifeng, Mu Lin might help out, like she just had.

After all, if Mu Lin didn’t like someone and they were poisoned, she wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.

Once all the police officers had left, Mu Lin and Jing Chen returned to their room, leaving the hotel staff dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe the problem was resolved so quickly. They really wanted to know what Mu Lin told the officers to make them leave so quickly.

As for Ren Laifeng, he had more or less understood after hearing what Deputy Chief Zhang brought back. Did Mu Lin want him to hold another press conference to publicize this matter again? But why?

It was clear that this was a revenge killing. But if the perpetrator was from that organization, their enemies weren’t people he could easily track down.

Ren Laifeng also got the feeling that Mu Lin didn’t want him to dig any further. Perhaps she knew who the perpetrator was and she was protecting them.

In the end, Ren Laifeng decided not to worry anymore. Whenever it came to matters concerning Mu Lin and Jing Chen, his brain felt insufficient. If Mu Lin said so, then he would just do it. She must have her reasons, but Ren Laifeng felt that she was trying not to drag them into it.

This rabbit hole was probably much deeper than he could imagine!

...

Meanwhile, at the Ya Family’s residence.

"Big brother, I’m leaving!" Yanyan shouted upstairs, grabbed her bag from the table, and scooped up the silver snake before bolting out the door.

Oh... she really didn’t want to go to school.

As soon as she left the room, Yan Zilei furrowed his eyebrows slightly and let out a helpless sigh.

Ever since Yanyan brought that little black snake named Silver back, Yan Zilei realized all his chances to get close to her had evaporated. In Yanyan’s eyes now, she only saw Silver, and the only name she kept repeating was "Mu Lin".

For the first time, Yan Zilei felt... jealousy towards a woman.

The main problem was, every time he tried to get close to Yanyan, that damn snake would always go on the defensive, as if it wanted to bite him again.

If it weren’t for the fact that he knew Mu Lin was busy, he would have asked her to take this damn snake back. It was too in the way.

In recent days, Yanyan had always wanted to go find Mu Lin, but he had stopped her. Yan Zilei insisted that this was not out of jealousy.

After seeing her on the news last time, he had admired Mu Lin’s audacity. The bright red mask had made her even more conspicuous, didn’t she know that?

However, Yan Zilei hadn’t expected Mu Lin to dash over to Mo Yinfan so soon. From the way she behaved, it was as if she was his bodyguard. Was this her true purpose in coming to Ming City?

And wasn’t she supposed to be a military doctor?

Yan Zilei did not believe things were as simple as they appeared.

On the drive.

Cradling Silver in her hands, Yanyan talked to herself. "Silver, do you think Mu Lin has forgotten about us? Otherwise, why hasn’t she come to see us in so long? Did she suddenly stop liking me? Big brother won’t let me go see her. Do you think it’s really like big brother said, that Mu Lin is really that busy? Maybe she doesn’t even want you anymore... yadda yadda yadda." Yanyan really wanted to make a phone call, but she was afraid of disturbing Mu Lin, so she refrained.

In Yanyan’s eyes, Mu Lin had never been an ordinary person. So when Yan Zilei said Mu Lin was busy, Yanyan dared not make a phone call, fearing she might disturb her.

With a rather helpless look in its snake eyes, Silver stared at Yanyan. If it had hands and ears, it’d probably be busily plugging its ears right now.

Ah... the same words every single day. She hadn’t gotten tired of saying them, but it was tired of hearing them.

But Silver wondered, was it really okay for Yanyan to suddenly bring it to school? It remembered being seen as a terrifying creature by most of these humans.

Too bad, no one could understand its thoughts.

After all these days, Silver actually began to miss Qiaozi, the imposing bird, and wanted to return to its master’s side.

Being nagged at by Yanyan every day made Silver feel as though Mu Lin had abandoned it.

Ah... Master, when can you take me home?

At that moment, Qiaozi sneezed loudly. After wiping its beak on its body, its eyes looked around suspiciously.

Who was cursing it? Was it that silly little snake? But it hadn’t done anything to offend it recently, had it? Hehehe... Uncle Qiaozi was quite pleased that Mu Lin had been ignoring Silver lately.

If Mu Lin could just forget about it forever, it would celebrate with firecrackers.

That’s right!
