Chapter 19 - Smile more when you're fine for health and beauty!
What happens in Chapter 19 of "Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor"? âWe can confirm that these are the two guys wanted by the National Bureau.âA moment... Read on to find out!
âWe can confirm that these are the two guys wanted by the National Bureau.â
A moment later, she gently exhaled, a mix of exhilaration spreading across her stunning visage.
These two A-grade fugitives had recently been on a crime spree across Huaxia, committing murder and robbery, amassing a string of offenses that left the public in a state of constant fear.
If they were caught in Zhongzhou City, not only would the Zhongzhou City Police Station gain nationwide fame, but she, the rookie chief of the major case squad, would also earn significant recognition for her achievement.
After making a call to her colleague at the station with her cellphone, Tang Wenrou casually removed the baseball caps from the heads of the two wanted criminals and tore off their fake hair and beards, smirking to herself, âNo matter how cunning you are, you canât escape the palm of my hand!â
âOfficer, I caught these two guys.
When can I get the hundred thousand reward?â
The voice of Fang Bai came through somberly.
Wen Rou was taken aback, frowning as she said, âWait a moment.
We need to go through all the proper procedures first.â
Five minutes later, the sound of sirens approached from afar, followed by a flurry of chaotic footsteps, as more than a dozen armed police officers stormed into the alley like a gust of wind.
Upon seeing the scene in the alley, the officers were all taken aback.
âSection Chief Tang, are you injured?â
An officer spotted the remnants of blood on Wen Rouâs mouth and asked with concern.
âIâm fine,â Wen Rou responded, pointing to Fang Bai, âwith the help of this citizen, the âNorthwestern Twin Wolvesâ have finally been apprehended!
Now, some of you take these two to the hospital to have their injuries treated.â
Wen Rou faced her subordinates with a stern, icy demeanor, embodying the persona of a strong woman leader.
âFang Bai, you come with me back to the station to make a statement.â
Having thrown that line at Fang Bai, Wen Rou turned and walked out of the alley, getting into one of the police cars.
Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, then followed Wen Rou into the police car.
His sister was surrounded by five classmates; nothing would happen to her, he thought.
He would call her in a while, to tell her to go back to school after they finished eating.
At home, the fact that he hadnât returned yet would probably concern his parents.
Therefore, Fang Bai took out his newly bought latest model of the fruit brand phone and dialed his mother.
Over the phone, Fang Bai told his mother, Yang Mei, that he had run into some classmates and was eating with them, that he might return home late, and then he hung up.
âWhy not tell your parents the truth?
You helped our police force catch two fugitives, and thatâs an accomplishment worthy of a substantial reward!â
Wen Rou, upon hearing Fang Bai lie to his parents, was puzzled and couldnât help but ask.
Fang Bai sighed, âThe love of parents all over the worldâŚ
What parents donât wish for their childâs safety?
If my mom and dad knew I caught two armed fugitives, they would not be pleased.
Instead, they would scold me by saying, âAre you out of your mind, meddling in such affairs?â and then give me a thrashingâŚâ
Wen Rou found his words amusing and couldnât help but let out a soft snort of laughter.
Her face, usually so cold, thawed with her laughter like an iceberg melting, bright as spring flowers, leaving Fang Bai momentarily stunned.
However, after her laughter, Wen Rou promptly resumed her customary frosty expression, turning her gaze out the window, her eyes flickering with thoughts unknown.
The two sat side by side, their arms occasionally brushing against each other, their body heat perceptible through the thin layers of clothing.
âOfficer, if there are more big rewards for wanted criminals in the future, please contact me; I can help you catch them.â
âAre you in need of money?â
âYes, my family is very poor.â
âBut isnât it dangerous?
Arenât you afraid?â
âOf course Iâm afraid, but when I think of the substantial amount of money, the fear goes away.â
âWhere did you learn your martial arts?â
âIf I said a wandering Daoist taught me, would you believe me?â
âI believe you.â
âIâve told this to many people, but there are few who believe it.â
âThatâs because they donât know that in this world, there actually are many extraordinary and eccentric individuals.â
âBy extraordinary and eccentric individuals, you meanâŚâ
âThe martial arts experts in the eyes of ordinary people.â
âOfficer Tangâs kung fu isnât bad either, when she fought against two deflation criminals, she was very imposing,â
âIâm not as good as you.â
âNot much worse, though.â á´ĘÉŞs á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ę ÉŞs á´á´á´ á´á´á´ ĘĘ No(á´ )á´lFire.ná´t
After arriving at the Zhongzhou City Police Station and giving his statement, Fang Bai once again inquired about when he could receive the hundred thousand yuan in reward money.
The fifty thousand yuan he had was almost spent, and heâd need quite a sum for his daily medicinal baths.
If he could get his hands on that hundred thousand yuan reward, he wouldnât have to worry about money for a while.
Tang Wenrou stared at Fang Baiâs somewhat youthful and handsome face, and as she watched him smile with a sunny disposition, the image of another man suddenly flashed in her mind.
Her heart felt a soft twinge, and a rare hint of warmth appeared on her usually cold face.
âOfficer Tang, when can I get the hundred thousand yuan reward?â
Seeing that Tang Wenrou was somewhat absentminded, Fang Bai couldnât help but ask again.
âIf itâs fast, probably by tomorrow.
Leave me your contact information, and Iâll notify you to come and collect it once the money is through.â
Tang Wenrou came back to her senses, her expression returning to its usual coldness.
Fang Bai nodded, turned, and walked towards the exit.
When he reached the door, he looked back at Tang Wenrou.
âIs there something else?â
Tang Wenrou frowned.
âOfficer Tang, actually, you look a lot prettier when you smile than when youâre stern.
Smile more when thereâs nothing wrong, itâs healthy and beautifying!â
ââŚâ
Tang Wenrouâs face turned icy, and she suddenly looked up, ready to lash out, but found that Fang Bai had already walked off briskly.
Staring blankly at Fang Baiâs retreating figure, Tang Wenrou couldnât help but touch her snow-white and smooth cheek.
After a while, she took out a small round mirror from her desk drawer and brought her face close to it.
Reflected in the mirror was an icy beautiful face that scarcely seemed to bear the marks of worldly life.
As she gazed at herself in the mirror, the corners of Tang Wenrouâs mouth suddenly twitched slightly.
A fleeting smile, there and then gone.
âŚâŚ..
By the time Fang Bai stepped out of the main entrance of the Zhongzhou City Police Station, it was around eight oâclock in the evening.
The streets were bustling with traffic, and the entire city was adorned with colorful lights, beautiful and splendid.
Fang Bai first called his sister to make sure she and her roommate had returned to campus, then he called his mother to let her know heâd be home soon.
When he passed by a large pharmacy, Fang Bai bought a big bag of medicinal herbs to take home.
Of course, he bought the medicinal herbs for his medicinal baths.
This time, the medicinal herbs Fang Bai bought were not only of various types but also of greater age, which would make the bath more effective than last time.
Even though these herbs cost almost all of the few thousand yuan Fang Bai had left, he didnât mind at all.
Fang Bai knew that the older the herbs, the better the effect of the medicinal bath, the faster his physique would improve, and the more it would boost his future strength.
And the stronger he became, the more money he would naturally earn.
This was a virtuous cycle.
Hence, Fang Bai never skimped on his cultivation, always using the best herbs possible whenever he had the means.
