Special Forces Medic-Chapter 684 - 648: Will Women Become the Reason for Turning Against Each Other?

Yao Juanjuan tidied her clothes, adjusting her hair in the mirrored glass on the wall pillar. "You go explain to Fourth Master over there. We don't know if Hua Qingyi has offended anyone. Just find any excuse to brush it off. If it really was people from Fourth Master who did it, you can't just go and ask her for someone, right? In a few days, just shrug it off and say you couldn't find her."

"Hmph, easier said than done!" Yao Zheng unhappily gulped down a mouthful of alcohol. "After all, it's not you who has to deal with the one named Luo, right!"

"Fine, I'll deal with it then, just finish the person off, isn't that simple?" Hearing Yan Juanjuan's words, Yao Zheng couldn't help but frown. He didn't look at her; his lowered eyes concealed the indifference within.

"It's not like it's your first time killing, it doesn't matter, right?" Yao Zheng retorted bluntly. "Besides Xiao Mei, how many lives have you taken?"

"Yao Zheng, what do you mean? You feel heartbroken because I killed Xiao Mei?" If Yao Zheng hadn't said that, Yan Juanjuan wouldn't have been so angry. Men, having flings outside is one thing, but Xiao Mei was a nightclub girl, and with Yao Zheng's status, it was impossible for him to do anything outrageous. She naturally wouldn't take it to heart. Who knew...

"You're simply unreasonable." Yao Zheng stood up from the sofa in anger. This woman is crazy. "Yan Juanjuan, this is my final warning. Clear the goods. Don't cause any trouble while Secretary Luo is around, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Yao Zheng slammed the door and left, leaving Yan Juanjuan alone in the private room. Yan Juanjuan was stunned, not knowing what to do. Yao Zheng, who never left her alone, actually slammed the door and left in her face. Yan Juanjuan, unable to figure out what was happening, sat there dazed, staring at the closed door.

When a man changes his heart, it's like a meteor—visible but unattainable. Haha! The woman's sudden laughter appeared extraordinarily sinister, her gaze vacant, but a tear hung at the corner of her eye.

"Yao Zheng, you bastard!" Yan Juanjuan murmured to herself, grabbing a bottle of wine from the dining table and started drinking. "I've spent my life as someone else's wife for your bright future, bore you children, and what do you give me? Yao Zheng, you ungrateful thing, you think you can be unkind to me? Haha, let's see who's unkind to whom."

The man standing outside the door couldn't listen any longer and called for his driver. "Wait until there's no one and get her out of here for me."

"Yes!"

"Be quick, make sure no one notices, take her back quickly." After giving instructions, Yao Zheng left the North Palace without a moment's pause. Today was the day his wife returned, and he had to hurry back.

Buzz buzz buzz! The phone vibrated on the bedside cabinet, and Secretary Luo, upon opening it, raised an eyebrow. "Yao Zheng left the North Palace alone, Yan Juanjuan was carried out by Yao Zheng's driver."

"Follow Yan Juanjuan!" After issuing the brief command, Secretary Luo turned on the computer. It was 9 o'clock, the time for his video report to Hua Muyun, much later today than usual, and he hastened his actions a bit apologetically.

Hua Muyun, having been waiting, returned to the study desk upon hearing the connection sound. Secretary Luo's face appeared on the screen.

"Sorry, sir, it's a bit late today." Secretary Luo greeted Hua Muyun with an apologetic face. "I disrupted your rest time."

"It's alright. How is the situation there? You look exhausted."

"Honestly, it's not very optimistic!" Secretary Luo considered how to express the situation there. Too direct, and he feared the old man would come charging right over with his temper.

"Be frank!" Understanding Secretary Luo well, Hua Muyun spoke in a deep voice. "Do not hide anything from me."

"First, the North District is not poor." Secretary Luo organized the insights gathered in the past few days. "On the surface, it seems covered by slums, with a complete Red Street dominated by the sex industry; in addition..." Secretary Luo paused, unsure how to describe Yao Zheng.

"Why are you stammering?"

"Sir, today I met with Yao Zheng. Inside the North District's office building, there is a dragon-shaped structure, and even the interior decoration exceeds city-level standards. He has a private resting area within the office building, which is downright luxurious."

"Oh?" Hua Muyun squinted his eyes. "Did he give any explanation for this?"

"This is the second point I want to mention. The North District has a tendency to establish its own dominion. While on the surface, they revere the municipal decisions in meaning, in essence, they do not care at all. Yao Zheng did not provide any explanation for the current situation he presides over."

"Does this mean there is a severe polarization in the North District?"

Secretary Luo nodded. "The economic income of the North District is the least annually, but as per my recent checks on Red Street, the daily income from the sex industry is far exceeding the monthly contributions to the municipal government. So, I suspect there is corruption involved here."

"Continue!"

"Regarding Young Master Hua, Yao Zheng has already stated that he is unaware and has taken on the task of investigation, assuring safety." Secretary Luo looked through the messages transmitted via phone. "The last person with Young Master Hua was Young Master Xiao. I don't think there's any accident; he might be in a place with poor signal, so..."

"Without news from him for a day, anything could happen. Secretary Luo, remember this point."

"Yes, Old Master, it's my negligence."

"Fourth, Yan Juanjuan is actually the president of Hengfei Group."

"Hengfei Group?" Hua Muyun was somewhat influenced by this enterprise. During the bidding in Liger City, this group was quite favored by Qin Weiguo, a rather powerful business figure.

"Yes! I was also surprised when I just found out. Yao Zheng said this himself, it can't be false. Right now, she is very adamant about Han Fei's execution and demands the municipal committee to provide relevant reasons. Additionally, Dragon Soul sent Yan Juanjuan a statement regarding the incident when Han Fei was executed."

"What?" Hua Muyun exclaimed in surprise. "Why would Dragon Soul do such a thing?"

"I've read the content, it indeed came from Dragon Soul. So, Old Master, are you aware of this? Did you receive the same fax?"

"No! What did the fax say?"

"It was Young Master Xiao's reported decision. He judged Han Fei as 'deserving death.' This accusation of us taking human life lightly is a serious matter." Secretary Luo furrowed his brows deeply. "Yan Juanjuan is now using this to accuse us, and this charge can be significant."

"What is Yao Zheng's attitude?"

"Yao Zheng is now completely distancing himself from the entire incident. When I handed him some pieces of evidence against Han Fei, he reacted with outrage, seemingly unaware of the events related to the manufacturing and sale of illegal drugs in the North District. Moreover, he glossed over the recent series of murders. Personally, I believe Yao Zheng is very likely one of the mastermind figures behind this."

"Do not jump to conclusions yet. How many times have I reminded you of this? Do not make hasty judgments without solid evidence, lest you stir up trouble for yourself."

"Yes, I will remember."

"Is there anything else to report?"

"The relationship between Yao Zheng and Yan Juanjuan seems unusual. At today's dinner, I left first, then Yao Zheng left in anger alone. But, Yao Zheng's driver eventually came out carrying an unconscious Yan Juanjuan. Those sent to follow them reported back saying Yan Juanjuan ended up at her home. An hour later, Yao Zheng appeared at her villa."

"Oh? Ha ha ha!" Hua Muyun chuckled upon hearing this. "Don't worry about their relationship for now. Just target one of them, and unexpected results will naturally emerge."

"I plan to do that. However, there's one more thing I made a decision on myself. I hope the Old Master won't blame me."

"Hmph, you know how to act first and report later, do you? Go ahead, what's the matter?" Hua Muyun felt a small sense of satisfaction, realizing that not all hope was lost for the North District.

"There's a place in the North District called Beigong. The location itself is not peculiar, but within that area, there's a naturally formed trench. Yao Zheng mentioned in passing about deaths occurring in that trench, so I sent someone to thoroughly investigate the background of Beigong, including its operators and builders, as well as its operational status and tax payments. I believe this place could be a breakthrough."

"This was a bit of cleverness, but proceed cautiously. Don't be too flashy; remember the saying, 'A dragon in distress cannot outmatch a local serpent.'" Instead of criticizing Secretary Luo for this matter, Hua Muyun felt reassured by his cautious approach.

"I understand; everything will be handled once the time is ripe. However, Old Master, are you genuinely considering moving against the North District?" Secretary Luo was aware that this visit to the North District was for preparatory work, and Hua Muyun hadn't made a full decision yet.

"Everything waits for Hua Qingyi's decision."

"I will handle this personally."

"Let's leave it at that for now. Let me know if anything comes up." Hua Muyun closed the video, realizing he might need to personally visit the North District. To them, Secretary Luo might not hold much weight; from Yao Zheng's attitude towards Secretary Luo earlier, he remained polite but dismissive, nearly reaching the status of an ancient emperor.

Lying in bed, Secretary Luo let out a sigh. In fact, there was one thing he hadn't reported to the Old Master: the text message he just received. He flipped open the message again, and it was clearly a message from Hua Qingyi.

"Secretary Luo, I'm well. Do not inform my old man about this. Continue with your duties; I have important matters to handle here; will contact you later!"

Looking at the message, he felt like crying without tears! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
