After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 157 Li Chengxiao Investigates Ge Dahai, Brothers' Night Talk

“Uncle Sen,” Li Chengxiao knocked on the door, and when the person standing at the desk writing calligraphy looked up, he said, “Uncle Sen, I have something urgent to attend to and have to go out for a while. I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back to have dinner with you.”

"Go ahead, go ahead, do what you need to do, just don't forget to eat when you're busy."

Watching Li Chengxiao leave with somewhat hurried steps, Duanmu Sen smiled and shook his head, then picked up his pen to continue writing, "Young people..."

Li Jingmo left her office and strolled to the lobby of her clinic.

The two young girls sitting behind the reception desk immediately stood up when they saw him, "Boss."

Li Jingmo waved to the two of them, "You two go about your business, I'll wait for someone."

The two, who had sat down again, couldn't help but exchange a glance and whisper to each other.

Are there any patients with important appointments marked this afternoon?

"No, I don't remember. It's not in the system either."

"Who is the boss waiting for? He even came out to wait for him himself!"

"Could it be his girlfriend?"

Li Jingmo casually picked up a medical magazine and, listening to the whispers of the two junior employees, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Less than half an hour later, he heard the sound of brakes outside and quickly turned his head to look.

Upon seeing the iconic military green Jeep, he had already put down his magazine and gotten up to greet it.

“Shu Heng”.

Li Chengxiao closed the car door, glanced at him, and said, "Let's talk in your office."

"Let's go."

The two hurried toward Li Jingmo's office, paying no attention to the two surprised eyes peeking out from behind the reception desk.

"Is that the instructor from 'Absolute Experience'?"

"They look alike, and the cars look alike too, but the names seem different."

"No hurry, let's wait and see."

However, even after waiting until the end of the workday, the two still didn't see anyone come out.

in the office.

Li Jingmo placed a folder along with a laptop in front of Li Chengxiao and sat down next to him. "The recent data is all on the laptop. The earlier data wasn't recorded online, so I organized it into folders. Take a look. Anyway, I don't want to look at it again. It makes me angry."

Li Chengxiao touched the thickness of the folder. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright, considering you're my brother. But I still have a question."

Li Chengxiao opened the folder, multitasking, and said, "Go ahead."

"The Skywalker Squad also has intelligence-gathering talents, more professional and better than me. Even though you've temporarily left the squad, it shouldn't be difficult for them to do something for you, right?"

Li Chengxiao looked up at him.

Li Jingmo was taken aback by the stare, then touched his nose. "You can rest assured in my office. If I can still be overheard, I might as well not live. I'd be wasting my life anyway."

“Brother,” Li Chengxiao’s throat bobbed, “I can’t fully trust the Skywalker Squad anymore.”

He spoke calmly, and Li Jingmo almost jumped up when he heard it.

"What do you mean by this? The Skywalker Squad is yours..."

“I did organize them. After deciding to leave the team, I thought about it seriously from the beginning and only came up with one possibility: someone deliberately sent talented people to me.”

After he said that, the office fell into an eerie silence.

Until Li Chengxiao quietly turned a page.

Li Jingmo finally recovered from his mental lapse and began to function again. Clutching his chest, he looked at his younger brother, who was quietly flipping through the documents, with a worried expression. After a long while, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Just what kind of people are you dealing with?!" Li Chengxiao heard this but pretended not to hear it. He picked up a pen and marked the parts of the documents that he thought were suspicious, silently replying in his heart: Perhaps, they are not human!
The materials were numerous and varied, yet Li Chengxiao read them intently. Seeing him engrossed in reading a thesis, Li Jingmo couldn't bear to disturb him and simply stayed by his side. Before they knew it, the sky outside the window had darkened.

Finally, Li Chengxiao closed his laptop.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Finished watching? If you're done, put it aside for now and don't think about it anymore. Let's go eat; my stomach has been growling for a while now."

Li Chengxiao pinched the bridge of his nose and stood up. "Let's go."

Li Jingmo hurriedly followed.

"A fusion restaurant just opened not far from here. I've eaten there a few times and it's pretty good. I just booked a private room on my phone, so I'll go there to eat?"

"it is good."

Since it wasn't far, Li Chengxiao didn't drive; the two brothers walked there.

"When are you and that girl named Jiang Hanying coming to my clinic for your check-ups? By the way, has the injury on her arm fully healed?"

"I'm fine here, I'll see when she's free. She was fully recovered three days ago."

Li Jingmo couldn't help but turn her head to look at her younger brother's profile, meeting a pair of bright and insightful eyes in the flickering lamplight.

"What are you looking at me for? Watch where you're going, watch out for the lampposts!"

"Just because you're good-looking isn't enough." Li Jingmo dodged a lamppost he almost bumped into. "Her recovery speed is indeed quite fast. I remember you went through a month of ups and downs back then, partly because your injuries were more severe and the dosage of the drug in your body was higher. But your body has been enhanced, which a young girl like her doesn't. I can't wait to give you both a thorough check-up!"

I'll ask her later if she has any free time.

"You've even exchanged contact information. You asked me to help investigate Ge Dahai because of her, right? I also saw the video that was leaked online before. Since I've done a decent job helping out, and I'll be treating you to dinner later, could you allow me to gossip a little?"

"No."

Li Jingmo pretended not to hear those two words, nudged his younger brother's shoulder with his own, and asked in a low voice, "Have you fallen for that girl? This is the first time I've seen you so interested in a girl."

"No."

"No? I don't believe it!"

Li Chengxiao: "..."

Is this guy still worth keeping?

"To be honest, you're not getting any younger, it's perfectly normal for you to like a young girl. She's young and beautiful, and most importantly, she's strong enough to protect herself. Anyway, I'm very satisfied with having a sister-in-law like her. You don't need to worry about your second uncle and aunt either, as long as you like her, they'll... mmm..."

Li Chengxiao was only momentarily dazed before he didn't have time to cover the incessantly chattering mouth beside him.

The darkness concealed his slightly burning ears. "Shut up, don't you get thirsty talking so much?"

Li Jingmo brushed the hand away from her mouth. "Why are you getting so worked up? I'm not thirsty. I waited for you for so long, but I didn't dare to make a sound and disturb you, so I just sat here drinking water."

"Don't get angry, you can't just say things like that."

Li Jingmo nodded seriously: "Indeed, we can't be careless."

Li Chengxiao: "..."

I feel like the two "whatever"s don't mean the same thing!
Thinking about how my younger brother is still a complete novice when it comes to love, probably not even knowing what liking someone means.

Li Jingmo's eyes darted around. "Okay, let me ask you another way. How did you feel when you found Jiang Hanying surrounded that night?"

What does it feel like?
He couldn't remember how he felt at the time; all his senses vanished, and he was left with only one thought: to get to Jiang Hanying's side as soon as possible!
"when!"

For the first time in his life, Li Chengxiao crashed into a lamppost!

Li Jingmo was taken aback at first, but then she quickly took out her phone and snapped a few photos of him.

After finishing, he asked with concern, "Are you alright, little brother?"

Li Chengxiao: "..."

Put your phone down before asking this question; it will make you seem more sincere!
