Special Forces Medic-Chapter 676 - 639: I Won’t Let You Die

"I'll try my best!" Liu Kunnan couldn't guarantee anything. Before meeting Hua Muyun, he had already hosted Han Fei's wife, a fierce woman.

"Why, do you have any concerns?" Hua Muyun noticed Liu Kunnan's difficulty. "At this critical juncture, I hope everyone won't have any secrets. The leadership team has just been decided, and I hope we can work together to create a vision for the future!"

"To be honest with you, Secretary Hua, before I came here, I had met Han Fei's wife. It's truly a headache; she's really a fierce woman who can do anything, causing a scene like a marketplace in the office. I'm afraid this disturbance will only get worse."

"How can she, a woman, barge into your office?" A woman daring enough to storm into the mayor's office—it's hard to say whether it's a lapse in security or intentional troublemaking.

"She was accompanied by the district governor of the North District and the local women's federation. We have a petition office there."

"Oh, so there are these people!" Hua Muyun nodded knowingly. "If that's the case, there are some words I must share with everyone. I hope you're aligned with my direction."

"Of course."

After the people expressed their willingness, Hua Muyun spoke softly. "The North District is a significant focus after this leadership reshuffling. The issue of the underground manufacturing plants that Yihang mentioned—I have received a report from Dragon Soul." He paused, though he seldom smoked, quietly lighting a cigarette and taking a deep puff!

"Earlier, there was a circulation of a kind of aphrodisiac in the market, which you must have heard about. It has already caused deaths abroad, though there haven't been any deaths due to the drug in our country, there have been many cases of insanity caused by the drug. Furthermore, the former propaganda minister, Tang Xiaoxia, also experienced violent hallucinations due to this drug. Such cases keep occurring, and I've sent Director Wu from the City Police Department to handle this case, the results were shocking to me."

"In the North District, lives are treated like grass; a series of gruesome injury incidents have happened, disregarding the nation's laws. Has anyone present received local reports on this? Liu Kunnan, as the city's mayor, have you received any such reports from your jurisdiction?"

"Frankly, the public security in the North District seems unbelievably good to me." Liu Kunnan sighed helplessly, probably as a sort of sarcasm, amidst Lu Yihang's strong reactions reflecting their sentiments.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and the North District will be a key focus." Hua Muyun tapped his fingers on the table, "Now is not the time to be soft-hearted. You need to put pressure on the other side as well. What's this? Storming into the mayor's office with people, what does that look like? Shouldn't you also reflect on your way of doing things?"

"I understand, Secretary Hua. I haven't thought this through, nor did I realize the internal connection." Liu Kunnan bowed his head, apparently confirming some external rumors.

"Yihang, keep a close eye on the movements of the stationed troops in the North District. It's best to have someone station nearby monitoring, in cooperation with Dragon Soul to implement corresponding measures. Weiguo remains status quo, mainly targeting economic development and Liang Ming handling the Liger City affairs." Hua Muyun stood up from his seat, "If you understand, stand firm in your positions. We have a tough battle ahead!"

Returning to the office, Hua Muyun hurriedly summoned Secretary Luo to learn about Hua Qingyi's whereabouts, but the outcome was still the disconnection of communication, under infinite possibilities, Hua Muyun came to a decision.

"Boss, you can't go personally." Secretary Luo, for the first time, spoke so bluntly in front of Hua Muyun with his answer, "The North District is now in danger; the circumstances there are not entirely clear. If you go now, it might be risky. Moreover, Young Master Xiao has clearly confirmed Fourth Master is in the North District, so you can't act impulsively now."

"What danger can we still consider? Those two kids don't realize the trouble they've caused. It's no longer a personal issue." Hua Muyun's passive situation perhaps only Secretary Luo knew, leaving him sighing and troubled over the matter.

"Secretary Hua, why don't I go first? Staying here would be more appropriate." Secretary Luo thought it over and deemed this the most suitable course of action, "After all, you need to hold the major authority, should anything go wrong, no one can bear that responsibility."

Hua Muyun fell into contemplation. "Select a few from my team to go along, and make sure to find those two brats and bring them back to me."

"Understood, I'll set off immediately." Secretary Luo breathed a sigh of relief; he indeed feared this stubborn old man getting headstrong, hard to hold back.

Wu Shuang opened her eyes to pitch darkness. She suddenly bounced up from where she was sleeping, examining her surroundings, "Where am I?" Finding a bit of light behind her, she jumped from her perch resembling a table and walked toward the light.

"Still can't identify the cause?" Hua Qingyi stood beside Xiao Lin, noticing the person lying on the table showed no signs of injury, yet remained in an unwakeable sleep, "This is Zhang Qiang's attending physician; if we can't pry anything out of him, dealing with Han Fei's incident will leave room for criticism."

Xiao Lin nodded, moving to the door to light a cigarette. No injury, no drug response, veins unobstructed—what on earth caused his sleep?

"Perhaps we have another person to use!" Hua Qingyi joined Xiao Lin, Chief Zhao's mysterious disappearance seemed to stir no trouble here.

"The guesthouse owner?" Xiao Lin casually mentioned Hua Qingyi's potential choice.

"Yes, there's another."

"The hardware store girl."

"Someone else has been replaced."

"Why am I here?" Wu Shuang stood behind them; they were at the North District Police Station. "Shouldn't I be in Zhang Qian's room? Where is Zhang Qian?"

"When I found you, you were already unconscious." Xiao Lin scrutinized Wu Shuang. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere now?"

"Hmm, I'm okay!" Her head still dizzy, Wu Shuang shook it, supporting her forehead with one hand. "What on earth is going on? Where's the child?" Feeling weak all over, Wu Shuang didn't want to pretend otherwise and sat on the ground, stretching out her legs.

"The child is fine, already transferred to the nearby Sharp Sword Team." Unsettled, Xiao Lin used the back of his hand to check her temperature, which was a bit too low. "Do you not know what's wrong with you, or do you know but can't remember?"

"Is there a difference between the two?" Still in a daze, Wu Shuang couldn't discern the meaning of Xiao Lin's words.

"I think she still needs rest, her mind seems completely out of it."

"I'm fine, can you just tell me directly what's going on? Or get me a glass of water." Wu Shuang moaned with her head buried between her legs.

"I'll get you some water." Hua Qingyi stood up but was stopped by Xiao Lin.

"She can't drink water now!"

"Don't be like this! Can drinking water seriously harm you?" Upon hearing this, Wu Shuang immediately raised her head, glaring fiercely at Xiao Lin. "If you won't get it for me, I'll find it myself."

"This is not the time to be throwing a tantrum. Do you realize that you fainted because you used mandrake leaves?" Xiao Lin grabbed Wu Shuang's hand and dragged her back. "Although mandrake is a flowering plant, if used as a drug, it's poison."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I clearly drank tea; how could I have had that kind of thing?" Wu Shuang blinked in disbelief, but Hua Qingyi and Xiao Lin's expressions didn't seem like they were joking. "Are you saying Zhang Qian poisoned me? Then why am I still standing in front of you?"

"I want to know too." Wu Shuang's words made Xiao Lin aware of that point. Why did Zhang Qian let Wu Shuang go when her presence was a threat to the North District itself?

"Where is Zhang Qian?" She really wanted to drink water; her throat was so dry it made her want to scratch at her neck.

"Quickly grab her hands." Xiao Lin didn't dare to be careless; he shouted at Hua Qingyi and thrust his fingers straight at Wu Shuang's chest and chin.

"Hey, what are you doing?" As Xiao Lin made a sound, Hua Qingyi had already tightly clasped Wu Shuang's hands, spreading them to their maximum. "Let me go!"

Her voice became hoarse and low, as Xiao Lin approached Wu Shuang, he wrapped a towel from the rack around his hand and sliced her collar with a knife, creating a small tear, revealing a patch of bare skin.

Wu Shuang's skin was very fair and delicate; a red line appeared faintly from above her chest toward her chin, color becoming more vivid as it neared her heart.

"She wasn't planning to spare you!" The vivid red beneath the white skin was startling. Xiao Lin inhaled sharply, his eyes slightly wet.

"What do you mean?" Wu Shuang couldn't see herself; from the moisture in Xiao Lin's eyes, she discerned a trace of guilt, maybe something else. "What's wrong with me?"

Hua Qingyi also couldn't see Wu Shuang; he held her hands, but noticed the moisture in Xiao Lin's eyes.

"Am I... about to die?" Wu Shuang asked cautiously.

"I won't let you die." Xiao Lin took a deep breath and smiled at Wu Shuang. "If you trust me, I won't let you die."

"Mm!"

"From now on, you can't touch any water; anything liquid you must not come into contact with." Xiao Lin ordered Wu Shuang sternly. "In the absence of water, you can eat vegetables or fruits, but you must ensure no water enters your body. This will be painful, but if we endure until we reach Dragon Soul, we'll be fine."

"Got it." Wu Shuang shook free of Hua Qingyi's hands, pulling her torn clothes tight. "I won't drink any water, don't worry!" (To be continued.
