Chapter 182 - 182

182: 182 182: 182 Sitting down beside Kou Jing, Ye Haochuan chuckled, “Doctor Kou, I’m afraid I can’t agree with you there.”

Initially, when he sat down next to her, Kou Jing instinctively felt a bit resistant, but after thinking about it, what difference would it make if she moved a bit farther away?

With this guy’s temperament, wouldn’t he just stick to her anyway?

With that thought, Kou Jing didn’t bother to move at all.

Ye Haochuan was unaware of her thoughts and continued with a chuckle, “In this world, there are just too many people who deceive and falsely assume the name of honor.

Many pretend to be upright, so I, oh well, just have to pretend not to be.

Could that possibly be wrong?”

Pff—

Listening to his odd theories, Kou Jing couldn’t help covering her mouth as she giggled, “What nonsense…

All nonsense…”

Watching her giggle, trembling like the branches of a flower, Ye Haochuan felt as if he was in a different world.

Could it be?

Was this still the cool and detached Doctor Kou from before?

She changed so quickly!

In fact, what he didn’t know was that Kou Jing didn’t actually dislike him; in fact, she was somewhat grateful and moved, as she had never met a man who would risk his life to jump off a cliff to save her.

The main issue was that he had acted too outrageously just now, teasing her time and again.

How could she, a girl with extremely traditional and conservative views, tolerate this?

Gradually figuring out her temperament, Ye Haochuan was now deliberately avoiding overly sensitive topics, and the interaction between the two was becoming more and more harmonious.

Of course, with his irredeemable nature, he couldn’t avoid making some harmless risqué jokes from time to time.

Fortunately, though Kou Jing still resisted a bit, she had eventually adapted.

This helped Ye Haochuan understand a principle: with ice queens like Kou Jing, it is not good to rush things.

Slowly warming the water like boiling a frog might be the best way to lower her guard.

“By the way, Doctor Ye, may I ask you a question?” Kou Jing suddenly said.

“As long as you’re not asking when I feel intense pain, you could ask a hundred questions, and I’d answer them all,” Ye Haochuan responded with a snicker.

What intense pain?

Pure nonsense!

Kou Jing pretended not to hear, letting it pass like the wind by her ears, and asked, “I’m a little curious, with your medical skills, you could easily work at those big hospitals.

Why insist on staying at a small college hospital?

Don’t you want to pursue a better future for yourself?”

“A better future?” Ye Haochuan smiled and shook his head, “For someone like me who makes so much money that my hands cramp, do I need to pursue a better future?

Besides, what’s so great about big hospitals?

With so many patients, doctors work like dogs every day.

Why bother with that?”

Only then did Kou Jing remember that he had once sold a lot of Body-Strengthening Pills and made a killing.

From the perspective of earning money, he really didn’t need to develop his career in a big hospital anymore.

However, thinking about his profound medical skills being wasted in a small college hospital, she felt it was quite a pity.

“Aren’t you lacking ambition in life?” Kou Jing shook her head.

“How can you say I lack ambition?

I have lots of ambitions in life!” Ye Haochuan said, a bit indignant.

“So, what great ambitions do you have?” Kou Jing asked with an incredulous smile.

“Of course, it’s money and beautiful women!” Ye Haochuan laughed.

Money and women?

Kou Jing gave him a disapproving look and spat disdainfully, “Can you be any cruder?”

Ye Haochuan, at a loss, said, “Is that crude?

Alright, then let me switch to something more elegant—career and love.

Happy now?”

Kou Jing looked at him with an amused smile and said, “You never say anything serious.”

Whether it’s slightly crude or a bit more elegant, can’t one just enjoy themselves?

Ye Haochuan was truly at a loss for words.

The two chatted like this for about ten minutes; suddenly, three police helicopters flew overhead, their roaring blades unceasing.

Ye Haochuan’s spirits lifted as he stood up tall, laughing heartily, “Not bad at all, the taxes we taxpayers pay are not in vain, eh?

To deploy three helicopters just like that, they’re really giving us face.”

Kou Jing couldn’t help but shake her head with a smile when she heard his exaggerated comments.

At that moment, Ye Haochuan suddenly realized that, because they were in a valley, there was a visual blind spot for the helicopters above.

If he didn’t take some measures, it would probably be difficult for them to spot him and Kou Jing.

Getting an idea, Ye Haochuan asked Kou Jing to hide a little farther away, and then he directed a Nine Tyrant Dragons Fist move at a huge rock nearby.

Boom!

The domineering and unparalleled punch, whistling through the air, transformed into a swift dragon-like gust, utterly smashing the giant rock to pieces.

Stones flew everywhere, and dust billowed in all directions.

Kou Jing, hiding in the distance, was stunned by the sight.

Good heavens, was he even human?

Out of the blue, Kou Jing felt in the depths of her heart that there were still so many unknown secrets about Ye Haochuan.

Somehow, these secrets seemed to hold an indescribable allure for her, making her unable to resist the urge to learn more.

The explosion caused by the rock’s destruction quickly got the attention of the three search and rescue helicopters above.

One of them began to descend slowly, landing and taking Ye Haochuan and Kou Jing away from the valley.

Aboard the helicopter, an officer named Zhang, having understood the details of the robbery incident, reported the situation succinctly through the walkie-talkie to the leader in another helicopter.

Soon, the leader responded to Officer Zhang, “Zhang, you arrange for Ye Haochuan and Kou Jing to head back first.

We’ll stay behind to investigate the scene, hoping to find some clues and catch those robbers as soon as possible.

Remember, on the way back, you need to properly document the case.”

“Yes.”

After a quarter of an hour, the helicopter landed on the rooftop helipad of Haishan University Hospital.

Ye Haochuan and Kou Jing disembarked from the helicopter one after the other.

Officer Zhang, who stayed inside the helicopter, gave a slight smile, “Mr.

Ye, thank you for cooperating with the statement just now.

We’ll meet again.”

“We’ll meet again,” Ye Haochuan replied with a smile.

The helicopter then increased the speed of its rotors and slowly ascended into the sky, gradually disappearing into the horizon.

Ye Haochuan then gave Kou Jing a look and said, “Let’s go, let’s head down.”

At that moment, the phone suddenly rang.

Ye Haochuan took it out and saw that it was a call from Chen Yushan’s mother, Xue Caining.

Pressing the answer button, he heard Xue Caining say, “Is that Haochuan?”

Ye Haochuan, sensing a touch of anxiety in her voice, couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Yes, Auntie Xue, what’s wrong?”

“Yushan is in trouble, didn’t you know?” Xue Caining’s voice was becoming increasingly anxious.

“In trouble?

What kind of trouble?” Ye Haochuan asked in surprise.

Suddenly, the memory of Chen Yushan looking at him with hatred on her face the night before flashed in his mind.

He thought, “Could it be that this girl, upon seeing me with Xiao Haimei, got something serious on her mind and sought death or injury?

If that’s the case, then it’s my fault.”

“It’s like this, Haochuan,” Xue Caining began, “we just received a notification from the police station stating that Yushan was just participating in a dangerous mission.

In order to rescue a hostage, she volunteered herself for a prisoner exchange.

Now she’s fallen into the hands of the criminals…”

“What?”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

“I had just spoken to Director Luo not long ago; how come he didn’t mention this?”
