Ark, they don't revolve around you

How stupid.

Although I don't know who dared to let those idiots in Syracuse come, I am grateful to them. I will definitely vacate a grave for them to rest in peace in the future.

He was naturally in a happy mood, but W was not so at ease. Seeing the doctor injured, he was shocked, angry and anxious.

"I'm sorry, Doctor."

"Why should I apologize?" Zhuang Ning shook his head. "I've seen your plan. It's very good. But if possible, you can achieve the same effect without doing anything."

"Really?"

"Of course, you are also a part of Rhodes Island after all." Zhuang Ning said lightly.

Letting W go was a helpless move. After all, W is essentially a Rhodes Islander. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, he will inevitably be used.

Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.

w still feels guilty. This was a very good opportunity, but he missed it for no reason.

"Don't think like that, w. Don't you realize that the situation has escalated? I need you even more!" Zhuang Ning smiled, his eyes became much gentler, as if he was counseling his operators, "Don't feel pressured."

w's eyes moved, and the high wall of cold iron on the doctor's body melted a little.

Before, that old woman Kal'tsit swore that it was irreversible. Wasn't she actually wrong? The doctor I met before was just too nervous, and his essence hadn't changed...

He still cares.

"Doctor, what else do you want me to do?" W grinned, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Let me think about it." Zhuang Ning lowered his eyes. "Maybe in the future, but for now, let's not do it."

"Ok?"

"You don't have to always want to dirty yourself." Zhuang Ning said softly, "Killing doesn't always cause problems."

"The blade must be hidden. One day I will need you." He lowered his eyelids to hide the thoughts deep in his eyes. "Before that, you have to take care of yourself."

He had said this to some people before, but he meant it sincerely before. But hearing it now...it made him feel sick.

w didn't hear it and was still blind. There were some things that she didn't care about at first, but she would cherish them more after losing them and getting them back.

After W left, Zhuang Ning calmed down again. When he opened the terminal, he saw countless incoming letters.

Zhuang Ning suddenly felt tired again, and an inexplicable irritability rose up. Shi Huaiya and W felt it right. Zhuang Ning had indeed faded from his excitement and returned to the state that a leader should be in.

He smiled happily when he met people. He would neither reject them with indifference nor act strange.

When it comes down to it, this is because the desire in your heart has settled down, so you put on a layer of outer clothing for protection.

However, half a year of lockdown has solidified this man, and he has no other thoughts except returning home. He is even more tired of those ridiculous social interactions.

Zhuang Ning looked at the overwhelming reports and all the praise for Rhodes Island. He and Wei Yanwu really resonated with each other.

That being the case.

Rhode Island, it’s time to take action...

"Scout, go to the ghetto."

"Now, Doc?" the scout looked uneasy.

"What else?" Zhuang Ning smiled, "Let's go find our Commander Chen... How can we miss such an opportunity?"

The wound ached slightly, but the pain was sweet, and he was willing to endure it in order to go home.

……

……

"You said the Doctor has changed back again?"

In the Chief Executive's Office, Chen Huijie raised her eyes.

"Yes, the Dragon of Intestines." Shi Huaiya pulled her hand, grinning and showing her tiger teeth, "Don't worry about your crappy documents, come with me to see him!"

“What exactly has changed?”

"He's back again!" Shi Huaiya smiled, her joy was beyond words, "He saved me, and he comforted me after saving me. You said the doctor became indifferent, but I don't think so. He was just too tired at the time..."

Just too tired?

Chen Huijie still remembered the doctor's nonchalant attitude. It was impossible that he was just too tired.

But he changed again... Chen Huijie was slightly moved: "Tell me in detail?"

"What?" Shi Huaiya was very unhappy. "Go and see him, and you'll know, right?"

Chen Huijie was in a state of confusion. If he really had changed, perhaps she should go and take a look...

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door being pushed open. Zhuang Ning came in with light steps. Although he was wearing a hood and a mask, he did look more imposing. If it weren't for the wound on his hand, he would have looked even more heroic.

It's amazing.

When Shi Huaiya said this, Chen Huijie didn't fully believe it, but when she saw Zhuang Ningren, she did see the shadow of the past, the doctor she knew.

"Doctor, shouldn't you be recovering from your injuries?"

"No time." Zhuang Ning took off his mask and whispered, "There are reporters everywhere outside. It's hard for me to get in."

"Sorry, I will be more careful next time... I didn't expect someone would assassinate me." Shi Huaiya said hesitantly, not seeming to be so calm about the assassination.

: "Doctor, what are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm helping you." Zhuang Ning smiled brightly, "Rhodes Island is now the target of public criticism, and we can only rely on Longmen's support."

He extended his hand to Chen Huijie, and his eyes suddenly became clear, as if they contained water waves: "Come with me, Miss Chen."

"No, it's Commander Chen." He grabbed her hand, just like every time before, "Let's sweep away all those obstacles!"

Chapter 29 Lord, You Are Not Worthy to Forgive Me

Flames burned in the lower town.

There was a violent explosion. It was the most extreme Originium gunpowder. One point could easily destroy a street. The surrounding area was filled with Originium dust. Being exposed to such an environment without any protective measures was basically equivalent to infection.

Chen Huijie was gazing calmly from a distance. It was incredible. This was clearly the flame of destruction, yet it was so beautiful and shocking, like the mercy bestowed by the gods.

A glass of soda was handed to her and she started laughing and sweating.

Since returning to Longmen, Chen Huijie has been dealing with boring political affairs and can no longer charge into battle like before. She is the one who will take over Longmen in the future, and a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

But today is different. She leads the special inspection team again, and works with the doctor to destroy the criminals' dens and arrest suspicious persons.

Zhuang Ning gave her advice and spoke slowly and logically, as if he was telling a story. He really had a talent for this. In his eyes, a plan seemed like a predetermined fate.

So, it's like this.

The sirens sounded, and those who resisted stubbornly were taken into the car, their eyes glaring as they left.

"You will soon be the mayor of Longmen, so you can't be so ungraceful."

How long has it been since she last heard this tone? Casual, relaxed, and yet full of concern, Chen Huijie opened the soda and smiled slightly: "It's okay, no one saw it."

What a great day.

The Doctor was beside her, and they both looked up at the azure sky and green grass. Zhuang Ning pointed not far away, where there was a church built by the Laterans.

"Why don't we go and have a look together?"

"What?"

"Pray." Zhuang Ning said solemnly, "Those people will have a miserable end. Although they probably don't believe in religion, we still have to pray for them out of humanitarianism."

Chen Huijie laughed.

He laughed so exaggeratedly that tears came out, which made him look even more ungraceful.

Nearby, several police superintendents who were watching with their heads tilted to the side didn't get the joke at all, so they simply turned their heads away, pretending they saw nothing.

But I feel emotional in my heart.

It’s been a long time since I saw Chen Sir so happy…

"Let's go, Doctor." Chen Huijie grabbed Zhuang Ning's hand tightly, "Go and pray to the merciful Lord."

Although she is not religious, it does not prevent her from being willing to express her gratitude.

There were many pigeons resting in the church grounds. Zhuang Ning sprinkled a handful of feed and joked, "The Laterans must not know how to raise animals. They only feed them sugar."

"Not necessarily. You should ask Mastema."

"She's back in Rutland, though I imagine she'll be back soon."

"Doctor." Chen Huijie looked at him, and her red eyes reflected the doctor's face.

He took off his mask, and there were beads of sweat on his face due to exercise. A smile was on his face. This was the smile that Chen Huijie was most familiar with. He was not a talkative person. He would just stare at others, and as long as others were happy, he would smile along.

"Doctor, you really...are back..."

It was like a dream.

The memory of that doctor treating her coldly and not considering her as a friend seemed like a dream she couldn't wake up from. Thinking about it made her feel dizzy and she would occasionally wake up in the middle of the night and cry.

but.

wake up.

Although her mistake is definitely irreparable, but——but that person is a doctor after all...

"Has it really changed that much?" Zhuang Ning sighed and sat down next to Chen Huijie, his head hanging down. He didn't have the gentleness that a leader should have. "Maybe I wasn't in the right state at that time."

His voice became lower and lower: "If you have been worried about me all the time, then I should say sorry to you..."

"That's not necessary." A hand held his, the calluses from holding the sword rubbing against the back of his hand, but the palm was still as soft and delicate as a girl should have.

What a pair of beautiful hands, constantly transmitting warmth to Zhuang Ning. Chen Huijie raised a faint smile on her face, and anyone who knew her would be surprised and shocked. This was a smile she would only show to him.

"I was wrong, Doctor."

"Actually, I have always been like this, right? I am a very stupid and selfish person." She apologized and her eyes felt a little warm while speaking, but Chen Huijie did not stop and actually seemed humble.

"I shouldn't have ignored you, Doctor... Really, when summer comes and everything is settled, we can go somewhere... anywhere... Really..."

Her words stopped abruptly.

"It's okay, Huijie."
