“Oh…” Xing Lin said meaningfully, “I understand.”

“What do you understand?”

“I understand that Young Master Jiang wants to court girls,” said Xing Lin with a knowing expression, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep it secret.”

“Shut up!” Jiang Zhe roared.

“Okay, I’ll shut up, but remember to treat me. I want a meal,” Xing Lin joked.

“I know.”

Soon, Zhao Bo came in with a group of doctors and examined Jiang Zhe’s wound.

He nodded his head in satisfaction. “The little girl is quite skilled. The wound was handled very beautifully. She gave you a minimally invasive surgery, did you know that?”

“Minor surgery?” Jiang Zhe raised an eyebrow.

“Yes.” Zhao Bo patted him on the shoulder with a smile. “However, we still need her to make the decision. We don’t dare to do anything.”

Jiang Zhe nodded. “Thank you. That’s very kind of you.”

Zhao Bo waved his hand. “No need to thank me. You should thank Yu Zhao instead.”

“Dr. Zhao, should we look for Yu Zhao for any subsequent problems?” Xing Lin stood up and interrupted Zhao Bo.

“Yes. That’s what she told me.”

Xing Lin personally sent Zhao Bo off, then closed the door and returned.

Jiang Zhe was already slowly getting up and sitting quietly by the bed.

“What are you doing up?” Xing Lin asked him, puzzled.

“Where’s Yu Zhao?” Jiang Zhe looked up at him. “Isn’t she going to help with the treatment?”

“Yes, she’s outside.” Xing Lin pointed outside the window, indicating for him to look outside.

A thin and small figure could be vaguely seen on the opposite wall.

“I’ll go look for her.” Jiang Zhe got off the bed after he finished speaking.

“Don’t go!” Xing Lin stopped him and said with a serious face, “You just had an operation not long ago. Your body is weak and you need to rest!”

“I’ll be back after I get a bottle of water. It’ll be fine.” Jiang Zhe walked around him stubbornly and left the ward.

Xing Lin sighed and followed him.

Jiang Zhe limped to the window and stood beside Yu Zhao. He said, “Thank you for today, but in return, I can fulfill your one request.”

Yu Zhao tilted her head and glanced at him. She pursed her lips tightly. “No need. It’s nothing.”

“How can this be considered nothing?”

Yu Zhao shrugged her shoulders indifferently. “I already said, there’s no need.”

“Are you afraid of owing me too much or are you afraid of trouble?” Jiang Zhe continued to ask.

Yu Zhao furrowed her brows, her face full of disdain. “Do I look like such a shallow person?”

Jiang Zhe’s lips curved. “So are you not willing to join the organization?”

Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment before suddenly understanding that he was trying to trick her.

She looked away. “You’re overthinking it. I’m not interested.”

Just as Jiang Zhe was about to have a good chat with her, Yu Zhao’s phone suddenly rang.

“I’m sorry, I’ll go out to take a call.” Yu Zhao left these words in a hurry and turned to leave.

The name displayed on her phone screen was “Ninth brother”.

“Ninth brother?”

“It’s me.”

Yu Zhao was a little surprised. “It should be an evening at the base, right? Is there anything I can help you with?”

“You’ve been in the capital recently. Have you been good?”

Yu Zhao laughed. “I’ve been quite obedient. How about you? How have you been?”

“It’s still the same,” the man called the ninth brother said in a cold and serious voice, “I plan to go to the capital in two days. Ask Lu Kun to pick me up.”

“What? Are you ready to come back, ninth brother?” Yu Zhao simply couldn’t believe her ears.

“Yes. I’m going back. After all, the matter here is already over.”

“But…” Yu Zhao wanted to persuade him a little more, but she was interrupted by the person on the other end of the phone.

“Alright, I still have something to do. I’ll hang up now. I’ll contact you later.”

“Hey, wait! Ninth brother, are you really coming? What are you doing here?” Yu Zhao hurriedly asked.

“I’m not telling you.”

Du du du…

Yu Zhao was stunned when she heard the beeping sound on her phone.

Was he not telling her? Is the ninth brother keeping her in suspense?

Yu Zhao heaved a heavy sigh. The ninth brother was still as mysterious as before.

However, her teacher had mentioned to her last time that the ninth brother was angry about her coming to the capital.

Was the ninth brother here to bring her back to the base?

Yu Zhao raised her willowy, curved eyebrows.

No matter what, since the ninth brother was in the capital, she had to treat him well. She wanted to invite him to dinner meanwhile sound him out so that she could escape from the punishment.
