Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Arrival at the Hospital!
Translator: 549690339
Binhai City’s First People’s Hospital, VIP ward.
Lin Jing is sitting on the hospital bed, casually flipping through a morning newspaper.
Although she’s wearing a patient’s gown, it can’t conceal Lin Jing’s mature and charming figure…
The timeless eyes of an eastern woman, the gently rippling light, soft and moist, mixed with an aloofness that warns strangers to keep their distance.
Her snow-white neck…
Her full, rounded contours…
Her entire figure is so abundant, so stunningly beautiful.
In front of the bed stands a middle-aged man, strictly adhering to decorum. He is none other than the deputy director of a district’s public security bureau,
Chief Xu.
The current Chief Xu appears flushed with excitement, and an overwhelmingly energetic expression waves in his brows.
“Old Xu, who would’ve thought that you would solve the unsolved case from the Binhai University branch campus?” Lin Jing puts down the newspaper with a faint smile. “This is truly an uplifting event. The secretary is all praises for you and your promotion is all but guaranteed, rest assured.”
Although Lin Jing is merely the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of Binhai City—at a rank not significantly higher than that of Chief Xu—her Lin Family holds sway as one of the top four families of Binhai City!
Moreover, despite being in her early twenties, she had ascended to her position as the head of the Criminal Police Brigade, which promised a bright future!
Also, the city’s top brass…
Shares the Lin name!
“Captain Lin, you’re over praising me,” Chief Xu said, appearing flattered.
In the past, Lin Jing used to address Chief Xu as ‘Chief Xu’. However, ever since he acquitted Huang Xiaolong in the Storm Nightclub incident, she started calling him ‘Old Xu’.
One can say that after that incident, Chief Xu’s standing in Lin Jing’s estimation significantly improved.
She even began treating Chief Xu as a trusted aide…
“It’s not that I’m praising you, it’s that you’re competent—capable of solving the case and capturing the cunning culprit. Not just anyone can do that,” Lin Jing’s eyes revealed her esteem.
“Captain Lin, I won’t hide this from you. I mainly came to report this to you today,” said Chief Xu, excitement coloring his face. “Although I arrested the person, strictly speaking, I didn’t crack the case. Because the person who uncovered the real culprit is someone else.”
“Hmm?” Lin Jing frowned.
“Captain Lin… The one who solved the case, heh, you also know him, ” Chief Xu flashed a grin.
“Cut the suspense. Who is it?” Lin Jing was genuinely curious. Who would be so selfless as to solve the case that had once rocked Binhai, and then hand off all the credit to Chief Xu?
Could it possibly be a living Lei Feng?
“Captain, it was Little Long who cracked the case!” Chief Xu’s face broke into an even wider grin. “He was the one who informed me over the phone about the true culprit of the dismemberment murder case! ”
“What? It was him?” Lin Jing trembled all over, utterly astonished!
He managed to root out a ten-year-old case’s murderer—a deeply hidden psychopath! How did he do that?
“Captain Lin, please hold back your excitement and listen to me—I’ Then and there, Chief Xu began to spill the beans on how Huang Xiaolong investigated the case of the 508 dormitory murder.
However, Chief Xu didn’t participate in the events that night, so he didn’t know how Huang Xiaolong caught the ghost, used spirit communication, or how he managed to sketch out a murderer’s portrait…
But Zhou Yuewen had relayed everything to Chief Xu, and today, Chief Xu dutifully embellished the story in front of Lin Jing.
According to Chief Xu’s description, Huang Xiaolong could be compared to a powerful land-roaming deity!
In reality, Chief Xu himself did not fully believe what Zhou Yuewen narrated, as it was simply too incredible. But to curry favour with Lin Jing, he didn’t shy away from singing Huang Xiaolong’s praises.
He knew, the more miraculous his portrayal of Huang Xiaolong, the happier Lin Jing might be.
As for Lin Jing, she believed a part of the tale, but not completely. After all, these methods were too astonishing, and Chief Xu wasn’t even there to witness them.
Perhaps, he was indeed exaggerating to some extent.
“Who would’ve thought he had these skills?” While Lin Jing didn’t fully believe his words, she was also pleasantly surprised, “Old Xu, once I’m discharged in a few days, take me to meet him.”
“Sure thing, Captain Lin, rest assured. I’m on very good terms with Little Long now,” Chief Xu was blowing his own trumpet.
“Yes, Old Xu, accompany me on a walk. Being confined to this hospital room all day is pretty suffocating,” Lin Jing smiled.
After listening to Chief Xu’s narrative about Huang Xiaolong, truth be told, Lin Jing couldn’t wait to see Huang Xiaolong immediately. However, she was still somewhat weak—after all, she was injured near her heart, and there are risks associated with leaving the hospital prematurely.
“Alright, Captain Lin, I’ll accompany you on a walk around the hospital. By the way, there’s something worth watching in this First People’s Hospital today.” Chief Xu grinned.
“Oh? What’s the attraction?” Lin Jing smiled. “I wasn’t aware. I haven’t been keeping up with what’s been happening.”
“It seems to be some kind of Western medicine challenging Chinese medicine, I’m not exactly sure. Captain Lin, let’s go check it out.”
At 8:50 in the morning, Huang Xiaolong drove his BYD F3 to the First People’s Hospital at a leisurely pace. After parking his car, he and Su Xiaoman both got out of the car one after the other.
Huang Xiaolong had a youtiao in his hand and was munching away at it, while Su Xiaoman was holding a cup of soy milk for him.
“Dr. Little Long!” Brother Zhao Qi had been waiting at the hospital entrance for a while. Seeing Huang Xiaolong, he greeted him with a broad smile.
‘Eh? Dr. Little Long has brought another lady today?’ Brother Zhao Qi was slightly taken aback when he saw Su Xiaoman. ‘She’s not the one I saw at the sales department last time and she’s not Sun Wei either… Tsk tsk, not only is Dr. Little Long’s medical skills brilliant, but his skills in picking up girls are also quite impressive. Every time he brings a different lady and they’re all top beauties… Impressive, really impressive.’
However, Brother Zhao Qi didn’t reveal his thoughts and instead greeted Su Xiaoman warmly, offering her one of his business cards.
“Dr. Little Long, it’s about time, let’s go in.” Brother Zhao Qi suggested, laughing. But his smile turned into a frown in the blink of an eye, “Dr. Little Long, the First People’s Hospital has gone too far this time! I’ve seen a lot of journalists inside the hospital. I’m 100% sure they’re drumming up publicity!”
“Brother Zhao Qi, don’t be too agitated. It’s just a simple pulse diagnosis for pregnancy. It’s not going to stump me.” Huang Xiaolong finished his youtiao and took the soy milk from Su Xiaoman. “Publicity? Hmm… I hope they don’t shoot themselves in the foot.
The three of them walked into the hospital together.
At this moment, there were some TV hosts inside the First People’s Hospital. There was a curvaceous young female host holding a microphone, followed by a cameraman.
The host stood outside a closed door and addressed the camera. “Dear viewers in front of the TV, follow our shooting team and let’s check out the current state of our 10 volunteers.’
Knock knock knock–
The host knocked on the door.
Shortly afterwards, several staff members in uniforms came out.
“These gentlemen are our impartial observers,” said the host with a smile.
One of the observers held a sealed envelope in his hand.
“Come, cameraman, give this envelope a close-up.” The host looked tense. “Dear viewers, this envelope contains the results of 10 B-ultrasound examinations. ”
She pointed the microphone at one of the observers. “Hello, can you share some details with our viewers? Everyone is very curious right now.”
“The 10 volunteers have completed the pregnancy test. Both the diagnostic results of Western medicine and the results of the B-ultrasound examination have been recorded in writing, sealed in the bag, and the answer will only be revealed after the pulse diagnosis for pregnancy of the 10 volunteers is completed,” the observer said painstakingly. “Can we go in and have a look?” asked the host.
The observer nodded.
The host led the cameraman in.
Inside the room, 10 female volunteers, dressed casually, were sitting or standing, chatting with each other.
Each of their clothes had a number attached to it, from 1 to 10.
“Let’s randomly interview a volunteer.” The host approached number 5.
No. 5 was a young, beautiful, and trendy woman.
“Wow- you look so young and beautiful, may I ask, are you pregnant?” The host passed the microphone to her.
No. 5 shook her head resolutely. “No comment. We signed a confidentiality agreement with the hospital. Don’t ask me, I won’t say anything.”
“Tight-lipped one, aren’t you.” The host gave a wry smile, then moved over to No. 10.
No. 10 was a woman in her 40s with a plump body, and she was busy devouring a piece of bread.
“Um– ma’am, pulse diagnosis is best on an empty stomach, didn’t the doctor tell you?” The host looked puzzled.
“No, nobody told me.” No. 10 looked confused.
“So, big sister, are you pregnant?” The host asked directly.
“You guess.” No. 10 took a bite of bread and replied with a smirk.
“Well— Given your age, I presume, you’re not pregnant?” The host tried to probe.
“Ha ha ha ha– Don’t try to trick me. I won’t fall for that!” No. 10 proved herself to be totally imperturbable.
“It seems we cannot get any information out of them. At present, everything is shrouded in mystery. Dear viewers, stay tuned. The thrilling pulse diagnosis for pregnancy is about to start! But first, let’s go to commercial…
