Ark, they don't revolve around you

Chen Huijie couldn't help but feel excited as she stood in front of Rhodes Island.

The former inspector who was respected in Longmen was feeling quite nervous at this moment.

The last time she saw the Doctor was about two years ago. She said goodbye to the Doctor and they haven't met since.

The two years she spent with the Doctor after leaving Longmen were probably the most unforgettable time for her. She didn't know what he was like now...

Chen Huijie maintained her stern look. After all, she was a police officer and could not easily show her emotions.

When she walked into Rhodes Island, her first reaction was to frown.

There were quite a few people, but most of them were new faces, either patients or messengers. The familiar faces from the past were almost nowhere to be seen, but the former reserve operators had grown up.

In just two years, Rhodes Island had changed drastically, becoming something she didn't understand.

"Officer Chen, let's go this way." A girl walked over in small steps.

Chen Huijie knew her, Furong, who used to belong to the reserve team of Rhodes Island, but now was a formal operator.

"Where's Amiya?"

"Amiya is in Kazdel, and the problem with her ring still needs to be solved." Furong was a little distressed, "I don't know the details, you can ask the doctor."

Doctor.

Hearing this word, Chen Huijie felt a ripple in his heart, and his cold face even showed a little warmth.

Few people would see Chen Huijie like this. She smiled so gently: "Doctor, is he okay?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen the doctor for half a year, but he must be fine." Furong smiled slightly, with pride in her smile, "He is the doctor after all!"

Chen Huijie understood her thoughts very well.

Leading her to the door, Furong waved her hand:

"The doctor is in that room. I'm leaving now, Officer Chen."

Chen Huijie smiled helplessly. She was no longer an inspector, but without waiting for any explanation, Furong ran away.

Leave her alone.

Chen Huijie was helpless and faced the iron gate.

He...should be okay?

The girl took a deep breath and stepped into the house.

In the familiar house, the doctor seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time. Their eyes met, but there was not the warmth that Chen Huijie had expected.

She once worked as the doctor's assistant, but she had never seen him treat anyone with such a look.

The greeting she had prepared was blocked in her mouth. She thought about how to start, but the doctor said bluntly:

"I have a general understanding of your condition, and we have prepared a plan for you."

There was no greeting, not even a "long time no see", it was just like they were just a doctor and a patient.

Chen Huijie felt very awkward.

It's only been two years, how come we are like strangers now?

At this time, the doctor noticed her reaction, so he took off his mask and put on a formal smile on his face.

"You might think this would be better."

This was his experience from communicating with Mostima. Although he preferred to wear a mask, he decided to take it off temporarily when communicating with these people.

Chen Huijie's uneasy premonition became more intense.

"Doctor... don't you have anything else to say?"

"No." Zhuang Ning said without hesitation: "What I want to do is to cure your illness. This is the agreement between me and Lord Wei."

"Really... nothing else?"

He frowned. "What else do you need?"

Chen Huijie finally realized the source of the problem.

That was definitely not the look one gives to a friend. It was full of expectation, but without any warmth.

Chapter 8 I will heal you, that's all

Chen Huijie's eyes became a little dazed. For a moment, she didn't know how to react and just stood there in a daze.

"Doctor, you... have changed."

At least he didn't have such eyes before, his voice wouldn't be so cold, and he wouldn't sound like...

Like a stranger.

"Changed? Probably." Zhuang Ning lowered his head and said softly, "Most people will change. How can there be someone in the world who remains unchanged?"

He still maintained a faint smile: "Officer Chen... Well, I should call you Miss Chen. Someone will arrange your treatment later."

"The cooperation between Longmen and Rhodes Island should become increasingly close. There is no need to have any doubts."

"I have no doubts." Chen Huijie bit her lip.

"That's even better." Zhuang Ning nodded. "If there's nothing else, Miss Chen, you can do whatever you want. Rhodes Island is heading towards Longmen. If you don't want to live here, we won't force you."

He made a please gesture, meaning that she could leave.

Chen Huijie didn't move, but just looked at the doctor.

"What happened?"

here we go again……

Do you all have to ask this question again?

Zhuang Ning felt a little irritated for some reason and looked at his hands. "Have I really changed that much?"

"It's big."

Chen Huijie looked straight at him, this stern girl was trying to hide the uneasiness in her heart.

However, Zhuang Ning did not avoid that gaze.

Instead, he seemed to feel relieved, and his smile was more sincere.

"But this change is a good one, Miss Chen."

Although he was smiling, his eyes were cold, only filled with a pervasive coldness.

"Okay?" Chen Huijie couldn't believe it, and clenched her hands unconsciously, "I haven't seen you for only two years, and you've become——"

"What happened?" Zhuang Ning asked coldly.

"Wei Yanwu's appearance."

she says.

After saying this, he suddenly realized the reason why he felt cold.

Zhuang Ning's gaze was very similar to that of the Wei Yanwu he had seen before - the Wei Yanwu who had ordered the massacre of the poor in the slums without hesitation.

Once upon a time, although Chen Huijie knew that Longmen had many shortcomings, he always thought that they could be changed.

It was only after problems arose in the slums that Wei Yanwu issued the killing order without hesitation.

He wanted to kill all the infected people without leaving any alive, and he didn't even want to dirty his own hands, so he entrusted this task to Lin Yuxia and Lin Gerui.

Even if Lin Gerui couldn't bear it and protected a group of people, many innocent people would still die because of Wei Yanwu's casual order.

Chen Huijie was disappointed with his uncle and Longmen.

But there was someone who, like himself, strongly opposed Wei Yanwu and even dared to argue with Wei Yanwu face to face!

The man's name is Zhuang Ning, and others more often call him Doctor.

In the cold, Zhuang Ning stood on Chen Huijie's side without hesitation.

"Most of the infected people just keep silent and accept it."

"They are used to enduring, and once they resist, they will die without a burial place."

"But sometimes, even if you don't resist, you will still die."

In the sewer, looking at the corpses piled up like garbage, he turned to Chen Huijie and said, "Tell me, Officer Chen, can you accept it?"

It was from then on that Chen Huijie accepted him and felt that they were like-minded. She even chose to stay with the doctor after leaving Longmen.

To this day, Chen Huijie is still glad for her choice.

Because the Doctor is truly an incredible person.

But why?

Why, now his eyes are so similar to Wei Yanwu's that day, both are full of hypocrisy, and there is no sense of truth in what he says.

"You are wrong. How could I be the same kind of person as Lord Wei?"

But Zhuang Ning interrupted her.

He said coldly: "Lord Wei has the Dragon Gate. He is willing to die for the Dragon Gate and become the executioner for it. But I don't have the courage."

He was disgusted by the metaphor.

Even Wei Yanwu has people who love him. Even though he killed his sworn brother, his people are still loyal to him.

Wei Yanwu still has Wen Yue, who always supports him. After Chen Huijie calms down, won't he eventually go back to take over Wei Yanwu's job?

How could Wei Yanwu be the same as me!

"I did not mean that……"

She wanted to argue.

I saw those bored eyes, silently conveying rejection.

"Ms. Chen." Zhuang Ning said coldly, "You just arrived in Rhode Island, you must be a little tired."

"You may have a little misunderstanding about me. I am in good condition now, and there is no need for you to worry about me."

"The contract between us is only to cure your infection," nothing more.
