Chapter 690: Chapter 453: Do I Still Have The Disease Now? _1

Previously.

B City Military Area, in the office of a certain leader.

Ouyang Jun looked at the man’s face in front of him and suddenly felt the temperature within the room starting to drop, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin involuntarily.

He coughed dryly, "It’s not that I don’t want to let you go. You see yourself, this mission, only you can handle it." Before Jing Chen could respond, Ouyang Jun continued, "The other teams are already out for their tasks. Even if they weren’t, could you really throw this mission aside?" To deal with your personal matters.

He didn’t voice the last sentence because he knew that Jing Chen would understand; because he was Jing Chen - the person who always prioritized national affairs and missions.

Even now, he still believed this.

In fact, Ouyang Jun had once asked himself a question.

If a mission and Mu Lin conflicted, what would Jing Chen choose? In the end, he did not ask out loud because such a question was a disrespect to him.

He never thought Jing Chen would fall so deeply in love with a woman.

However, Ouyang Jun never considered whether Mu Lin would let Jing Chen face such a choice; the answer, of course, is no.

Because she was Mu Lin, she would never possibly become a burden to Jing Chen; this point, Ouyang Jun himself should understand.

Jing Chen looked indifferently at the mission details. The mission wasn’t complicated, it was simply a protection mission. The key point was that the person he had to protect this time was an elder that was highly respected by their family.

"This isn’t a difficult mission for you." A week’s time should be enough, normally nothing else would happen, much safer than the other missions Jing Chen conducted.

Of course, there are no absolute guarantees in this world.

The elder’s health had improved greatly, Ouyang Jun heard. Although Mei Qingyuan usually worked hands-on, in reality, it was Mu Lin who had done the job. It was the last time she came home. Otherwise, he would not have been able to leave the country this time since his health had been deteriorating previously.

Whether it was the elder’s matter or the previous support task, although the girl wasn’t always here, she still made contributions others couldn’t make. As a military doctor, she fulfilled her duties; even though she was just a military doctor, she still completed a soldier’s duties.

Jing Chen indeed had astute judgment.

"I understand." He replied indifferently, then swiftly stood up. Jing Chen turned around and left.

It seems, he’s about to break his promise again.

Jing Chen didn’t want to, but he was helpless. This mission, he had to personally take it.

...

The next day.

At B City airport, a military jeep imperiously parked not far from the main entrance. A tall and elegant figure leaned casually against it. His eyes were fixated at the exit, waiting for the silhouette of his beloved. His figure radiated an aura of coldness and distance that chilled people to their core in the winter days.

A crowd of spectators unconsciously gathered not far from the man and his car. None of them dared to go closer, they were curious about the woman this exceptional man was waiting for.

Everyone’s intuition told them that he was waiting for a woman.

The men beside him were curious about his identity and envious of his car, a vehicle not just anyone could drive, this man must be someone they couldn’t afford to offend. While the women were curious about the woman he was waiting for.

What kind of woman could make such an outstanding man willingly stand here waiting for her? They wanted to see what kind of woman deserved to stand beside him. If she didn’t deserve it, perhaps they might have a chance.

This was typical busybody behavior, not wanting others to be better off.

Of course, only a minority of people had such thoughts.

At this moment, a slender figure slowly headed towards the man. The man’s initially cold eyes warmed up at that moment. Ma Liang’s mouth curved up slightly, he stood up straight, the cold and distant aura around him completely fading.

In a simple yet neat outfit, her hair neatly piled high, clean and efficient. Step by step, she walked towards the man, with a calm demeanor. The exposed skin was fairer than snow, a slight smile on her lips. Her every glance exuded an elegant charm, refined yet humble, making people feel inferior and not daring to blaspheme.

"Finally, my wife is back." He took a step forward, pulling the young lady into his arms, "I’ve been waiting for a long time." He had been waiting ever since yesterday’s phone call.

Hearing this, Mu Lin’s smile deepened, "As far as I remember, my flight wasn’t delayed." Moreover, she remembered, they had only parted yesterday.

Having such a clueless wife, Jing Chen felt helpless.

"One day apart feels like three years." Jing Chen let go of Mu Lin, placed a gentle kiss on her lips, and then opened the car door for her.

Only after the car departed did everyone snap back to reality.

Living for so long, they finally understood what it meant for a man and a woman to be a match made in heaven, the phrase was indeed not deceiving.

Such a pair, in this world, possibly only each other could truly be worthy of the other.

The moment they saw Mu Lin, those girls who were initially jealous could not even raise a sliver of envy anymore.

Because they were not qualified; whether in terms of appearance or anything else, they could not compare with that girl.

In the car.

"I’ll take you to meet someone first? He said he wants to see you, also, to thank you." Jing Chen only found out about that incident early this morning. Turns out Linlin and that elder had such a connection.

Linlin was genuinely doing good everywhere; the fabled Poison Doctor was gradually turning into Little Divine Doctor Mu.

"Meet who?" Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen in confusion; Thanks? She didn’t remember doing anything that required thanks; Mu Lin indicated she had no recollection.

"You’ll find out when we get there." Jing Chen kept her in suspense without revealing anything, and Mu Lin raised an eyebrow.

How mysterious! But she didn’t continue to ask, she would meet them anyway.

The car drove on, passing through a series of checkpoints, until finally, it stopped in front of a building.

As Mu Lin got out of the car, seeing the solemn and well-equipped guards, she instinctively looked at Jing Chen.

The guard was so thorough, who was she being brought to meet? It felt like she was about to be sold off.

"Let’s go." After parking the car, Jing Chen came to Mu Lin’s side, leading her towards the inside; seeing Jing Chen, the guards snapped into a formal military salute.

Even here, Jing Chen’s name was well known; because he was the trusted one.

The two reached upstairs, "knock, knock, knock" the sound of a knock on the door echoed, followed by a low and slightly hoarse voice from inside.

Upon entering, Mu Lin instinctively stalled when she saw the three people inside.

It seemed, two were familiar faces.

"Lass." At this moment, the elder seated in the middle looked at Mu Lin, the corners of his mouth pulling into a kindly arch, "Do you still remember me?"

Mu Lin lightly raised an eyebrow, then nodded slightly, "I remember." The elder in front of her was the same one she saw last time at the military hospital. She remembered he had a rather annoying family doctor with him, although that doctor didn’t attend today.

So it seemed, no wonder that man was so impudent with her that day, this elder’s status was not simple.

"Come." The elder beckoned to Mu Lin, she took slow steps towards him, standing firm, her cold eyes calmly looking at him.

The elder warmly looked at Mu Lin, suddenly asking: "Do I still have my illness now?" Recalling Mu Lin’s words she directed at him.

For the first time in his life, someone had spoken so directly in his presence, so directly that they wouldn’t even take a slight detour, yet for some reason, he quite liked this girl’s character, and she had already saved his life.

If possible, the elder wanted the girl standing in front of him not to change because of his status, just say whatever needed to be said.

Mu Lin gave him a bland stare, then upon calculating the time, finally spoke: "Yes, but the illness is lighter now." The poison had not been completely cleared, but at least two-thirds were already eliminated, and chronic toxicosis was indeed troublesome.

Upon hearing this, the elder laughed, Mei Qingyuan stifled a laugh, while the middle-aged man in military uniform standing next to the elder was utterly shocked, staring at Mu Lin in complete bewilderment.

From the moment Mu Lin entered the room, he was stunned. He had never before seen the elder show mercy to anyone, it seemed like right now, the elder sitting in front of him was simply an ordinary old man from the secular world.

Even when facing his own children and grandchildren, the elder was always stern, but while facing the girl before him, he felt an unprecedented ease.

Was this girl the famous Little Divine Doctor Mu who had discovered the lurking poison in his body?

The elder looked at Mu Lin, satisfied with her behavior, he slowly extended his hand. Receiving the hint, Mu Lin glanced at the chuckling Mei Qingyuan and smirked.

Was he testing her? Interesting.

She gently placed her hand on his teeming pulse, her facial expression didn’t change. The very next moment, she quickly retracted her hand.

Indeed almost completely healed with about seventy or eighty percent recovery.
