Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 500 We have no personal grudges between us.

Inside the hospital.

Yu Dazhang had changed his clothes and cleaned himself of the bloodstains.

Out of concern for his own safety, he still requested to go to the hospital to have his wounds treated.

Who knows if the woman's bayonet was poisoned? He wouldn't feel at ease until he had her checked at the hospital.

After examining him, the doctor disinfected his wound.

Under Yu Dazhang's persistent and shameless insistence, they did a proper bandage for him.

"Actually, there's no need to go through all that trouble."

The doctor advised:
"For such a minor injury, disinfection is all you need; bandaging it will only hinder healing."

He noticed that the fat man didn't seem like a pretentious person, and he was surprised that he was so fragile that he would make a special trip to the hospital for such a small wound.

"It's better to wrap it up a bit."

Yu Dazhang explained:

"This is a work injury."

As he spoke, he smiled at the doctor, revealing a knowing look.

Work injury? The doctor was stunned.

You can't fool anyone with such a minor injury. Besides, a medical certificate can't be faked.

Under the doctor's surprised gaze, Yu Dazhang got up and left. After asking a nurse outside, he went to the inpatient department.

Outside a hospital ward.

Two plainclothes state security officers stood guard at the door, and immediately became alert when someone approached.

"One of our own."

Upon approaching, Yu Dazhang revealed his identity and asked in a low voice:

How is she doing?

Before coming to the hospital, he knew that Ying Xuelian's rescue had ended and he had asked for her room number.

"It's nothing serious," one of the state security personnel replied.

"The knife has been removed, and the anesthesia has probably worn off by now."

Yu Dazhang knew perfectly well that this kind of external injury didn't require general anesthesia at all.

It may look like a knife wound, but as long as the internal organs are not damaged, it is just a superficial injury.

Moreover, the treatment was timely and there was no major bleeding, so he wasn't too worried.

"I'll go in and take a look."

With that, he pushed open the ward door and stepped inside.

There was only one hospital bed in the room. Ying Xuelian lay quietly on the bed, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought.

Her face was as pale as paper, her lips had lost all color, and she looked extremely weak.

In the corner of the room, Ye Lin sat on a chair. Only after recognizing Yu Dazhang did she put down the gun in her hand.

"Quite alert."

Yu Dazhang looked at Ye Lin and teased:

"If I had come in any faster, I would have been shot by now."

He knew Ye Lin was definitely in the ward, so he deliberately slowed down his pace to give her time to react.

"How did you come?"

Ye Lin ignored his teasing and instead asked in return:
"Did the team leader send you?"

As she spoke, her gaze lingered on Yu Dazhang's wrist, which had just been bandaged.

"I'm coming to see her."

Yu Dazhang didn't hide anything and directly stated his purpose:

"She took that knife wound to save me."

If it weren't for Ying Xuelian, he would probably have passed away long ago.

If the knife had actually pierced his stomach, the excruciating pain would have rendered him temporarily incapacitated, leaving him no strength to disarm the attacker.

Based on the opponent's combat experience, they will inevitably take the opportunity to inflict continuous damage on him.

By then, he would have no chance of surviving.

Ye Lin silently stood up, and only when she passed by Yu Dazhang did she ask a question:
"Is your hand okay?"

Yu Dazhang felt a warmth in his heart and smiled at her:
"Skin trauma."

Upon hearing his answer, Ye Lin's slightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Only after she left the ward did Yu Dazhang come to his senses. Wait a minute, why did she leave?

No one asked you to avoid suspicion, so what's the point of you leaving?

He glanced back at Ying Xuelian on the hospital bed and saw her smiling at him.

Yu Dazhang composed himself, picked up a chair, and gently sat down beside the hospital bed.

Their eyes met, and he spoke softly:

"why?"

The woman in front of him had an IQ of 175, so she naturally knew what he was asking.

Ying Xuelian continued to smile:

"You came here just to ask this?"

“That’s right,” Yu Dazhang nodded in agreement.
"I really don't understand why you saved me. I was the one who exposed your identity. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the National Security Bureau."

He doesn't believe in repaying evil with kindness.

Moreover, given Ying Xuelian's intelligence, she wouldn't do something so pointless.

Just like the song says...

They threw mud at me, so I used the mud to plant lotus flowers.
The reason this song is parodied is because the lyrics are so absurd.

Therefore, Yu Dazhang knew that Ying Xuelian must have her own reasons, but he just couldn't guess them.

"Because you are my student."

Ying Xuelian's smile faded, and her tone became serious:

“You are different from Liu Hai and Chen Yang. You really don’t know anything. All the knowledge you have is from my teaching.”

At this point, a look of pride appeared on her face:
"You might find it laughable when I tell you."

"I experienced the sense of accomplishment of being a teacher for the first time through you."

That's a reason, but not enough... Yu Dazhang thought for a moment and then asked:
"You don't hate me?"

That's what he felt was illogical.

“You’re arresting me, not harming me. I can tell that from the other side.”

Ying Xuelian looked at him calmly, her voice very soft:

“You were just doing your job, so there’s no personal grudge between us.”

"The ones who really harmed me were those who manipulated me from behind the scenes."

In that instant, her expression suddenly turned cold, and her tone revealed a hint of helplessness and resentment:

"Actually, I'm quite grateful to you. If it weren't for you, that group of people wouldn't have been wiped out. You know, I've never felt so exhilarated as I have today."

Yu Dazhang listened to her quietly, his face showing no emotion.

Looking at Ying Xuelian in front of him, the image of that squirrel suddenly flashed through his mind.

At this moment, he finally understood why Ying Xuelian had entrusted him to release her.

She realized she saw her own reflection in that squirrel.

They are all used and manipulated, unable to resist.

So she hoped the squirrel could regain its freedom, just as she herself longed to break free of her constraints.

"Take good care of your injuries."

Yu Dazhang stood up and looked at her with gentle eyes:
"Who can say for sure what the future holds?"

The next day.

Fifty-three residential areas.

"Can I leave now?"

Yu Dazhang waved his bandaged wrist in front of Li Mingzhao:

"The doctor said that my injury is at risk of infection and told me to go to a major hospital for treatment as soon as possible."

In the past, he wouldn't have bothered to find a reason; he would have simply suggested going back to Songhai.

But yesterday, the scene of Team Leader Li bravely fighting the thugs really surprised him.

This made him even more respectful towards him.

"Don't worry."

Li Mingzhao seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile:

"Have you forgotten about the uniform? Wait a little longer, and bring the uniform back with you while you're at it."
