Chapter 256: Chapter 245 This Night Is Uneventful
Xiao Lin was referring to the Poison Dragon Gang bosses they caught tonight. Now that Wu Shuang is injured, how should they handle those bosses? How to handle them still hasn’t been discussed, and with Wu Shuang leaving this place, can the plan be carried out?
Called an idiot by Wu Shuang, Xiao Lin wasn’t angry. Nobody knows everything, so he humbly said, "I’m not a god, naturally I don’t know everything. It’s understandable to be an idiot in some areas!"
"You’re quite optimistic!" Wu Shuang continued to press on, not letting him off easily.
Liang Feng helped Xiao Lin out by saying, "Sister Shuang, is there any say here? I’m not very clear either!"
"You’re really standing up for him!" Wu Shuang said, then looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Even if I wasn’t injured right now, I couldn’t stay here. Even if I showed goodwill to a few of them, it wouldn’t achieve the effect you want. This case can’t be resolved quickly, ten days or half a month isn’t enough. Moreover, most of these Poison Dragon Gang bosses have already cleaned up their acts, rarely participating in the gang’s day-to-day operations. To make them confess and follow our orders, there’s only one way: wear them down!"
Although Wu Shuang just joined the special police force, she’d worked in society for five years, more so within the power-driven traffic police department. What methods hadn’t she seen? Not to mention she originally studied in police school, so she’s quite familiar with case procedures.
Actually, given Xiao Lin’s identity as a Dragon Soul Soldier, he should be familiar with these aspects too. But interrogation isn’t really something Xiao Lin likes, usually leaving it to other team members, not needing to handle it himself, and he disdained dealing with prisoners.
"So how do we wear them down?" Xiao Lin asked another dumb question.
By this point, Wu Shuang didn’t have the energy to answer him. Right now, Xiao Lin was like a curious baby, not understanding anything. She wasn’t going to tell him all the police department’s rules, which couldn’t be finished in three days and nights. She gave Xiao Lin a side glance and said, "These things can’t be explained in a few words. Anyway, since I promised to help you, I will handle it well. This kind of thing can’t be rushed. Without time and testing them, reaching your goal will be very difficult. I’ll try my best!"
This was Xiao Lin’s first time hearing such a clear response from Wu Shuang. Although he already knew Wu Shuang internally agreed, hearing her say it made him quite happy, proving his thoughts weren’t wrong. Since Wu Shuang said so, Xiao Lin didn’t have much to ask anymore and nodded, "Thank you then!"
"When did you become so polite?" Wu Shuang lightly chuckled.
"..." Indeed, you can’t offend a creature that bleeds once a month, Xiao Lin thought. He had barely said this, less than half an hour later, Wu Shuang had already good memory and didn’t hold grudges, because she retaliated immediately.
"Sister Shuang, thank you. In the future, if Xiao Feng does anything wrong, you can criticize her all you want!" Liang Feng naturally knew what Xiao Lin and Wu Shuang were discussing. Since Wu Shuang said so, Liang Feng couldn’t show no acknowledgement.
Wu Shuang didn’t stand on ceremony and seriously said, "I will. I don’t want a community I support to become a disgrace harming the country and society!"
After that, Liang Feng helped Wu Shuang into the yard and into the passenger seat of Xiao Lin’s car. Liang Feng looked at Xiao Lin across and said, "Brother Lin, you must take good care of Sister Shuang!"
"Little schemer!" Xiao Lin only mumbled with a smile, naturally aware that Liang Feng was instructing him like this to get closer to Wu Shuang, showing that Liang Feng wasn’t just a simple warrior but had his own way of dealing with things.
After getting Wu Shuang and Xiao Lin into the car, Liang Feng returned to the building. Wu Shuang had already called the team members earlier. After Liang Feng and others finished taking statements, there would naturally be transportation to take them back to school.
Although Wu Shuang had not known Xiao Lin for many days, they met almost every day. In these few days, what happened was far more exciting than her years in the traffic police department. The two seemed like old friends but still, being alone in a small space together was a first.
No matter how long it seemed they’ve known each other, in fact, they’d only known each other for less than ten days, and most of the interactions left Wu Shuang feeling not very pleasant, so the atmosphere inside the car was quite awkward.
Initially, Xiao Lin planned to take Wu Shuang to stay at his rented place because her ankle still needed further treatment, and for the past couple of days, he had leftover ointment from helping Dan Qing. Compared to Dan Qing’s illness, Wu Shuang’s ankle injury was nothing. Using that ointment on her ankle, she’d probably be able to walk by the morning.
But now, Xiao Lin felt he was thinking too simply.
Xiao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Where do you live? I’ll take you home!"
"Huh? Didn’t you just mean to take me to your place?" Wu Shuang hadn’t thought much about it as Xiao Lin had indeed hinted at treating her injury there.
"Uh!" Instead, Xiao Lin found himself speechless.
"Is it inconvenient?" Wu Shuang asked.
"No, it’s not inconvenient, I’m just afraid you won’t be comfortable!" Xiao Lin rarely spoke so politely.
"Tsk tsk!" Wu Shuang rolled her eyes at Xiao Lin and said, "Don’t worry, I’m open-minded. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear anything while you and your girlfriend do whatever!"
"..." Xiao Lin thought it best to keep his mouth shut. What’s with women these days? Each one stronger than the last.
Seeing Xiao Lin stop talking, Wu Shuang’s heart raced too. When she said that, even Wu Shuang was secretly startled. As for why she said it, even Wu Shuang herself didn’t understand, just feeling her face heating up a moment later.
Speeding all the way back, they quickly returned to the faculty dormitory building next to Yanshi University. Since Wu Shuang couldn’t walk, someone had to support her upstairs, and naturally, this responsibility fell to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin got out of the car and hesitated a bit at the front passenger seat.
"Hey, what are you dawdling for? It’s so late, you might not need rest, but I still do." Wu Shuang urged.
Without another word, Xiao Lin helped Wu Shuang out of the car, stood on her left side, placed her left hand on his shoulder, and supported her elastic waist with his right hand. As he moved forward, Wu Shuang didn’t move, and instead exclaimed, "Aiya!"... (to be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome at Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
