From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 398 - 372: Sanctimonious

Gao Xiaobai said: "You’ve forgotten, you were timid and afraid of trouble since you were a child."

Xu Chunliang replied: "I call it keeping a low profile. The martial arts passed down in our Old Xu Family are too powerful. When I was young, I couldn’t control my strength when I took action, and it wouldn’t be good if I accidentally hurt someone."

In the past, Gao Xiaobai definitely wouldn’t have believed it, but now she somewhat believed it. She asked about the matter of her grandfather helping Wang Maite with massage, and Xu Chunliang admitted that he taught him. If there’s a problem, treat it, and if there’s no problem, strengthen the body. Anyway, it won’t harm the chubby kid.

Gao Xiaobai didn’t want to accuse him, she sighed and said: "My uncle’s workplace has been sluggish lately, with low income, and he’s in a bad mood. My aunt is busy with work too, so neither of them has time to take care of Wang Maite. Leaving a child to be taken care of by an elderly person is bound to have educational shortcomings."

Xu Chunliang said: "You can help out a bit more."

Gao Xiaobai said: "I have a heavy study load now, and can only spare time to go over and help him with his homework on weekends. I think he has ADHD, his attention isn’t focused, but my aunt doesn’t admit it and resists taking him for treatment. Because of this, the couple has argued quite a bit."

Xu Chunliang said: "Every family has their own problems to deal with. But I find Wang Maite quite smart. As long as you find the right method, his studies should show improvement, and even if not, it doesn’t matter. I didn’t do well in school, and now I’m studying at the same university as you."

Gao Xiaobai couldn’t help but laugh, although both of them were now studying at this university, their situations were entirely different.

Just then, a middle-aged professor approached with a tray, walked behind Gao Xiaobai, and gently patted her shoulder: "Xiaobai, having lunch?"

Gao Xiaobai turned around and said hello to Professor Qu.

Xu Chunliang recognized him as the guy who patted Gao Xiaobai’s shoulder at the school gate the other day. What’s this guy’s problem, patting girls’ shoulders so casually? Don’t be fooled by his upright appearance; I bet he’s full of dirty thoughts.

Professor Qu sat down beside Gao Xiaobai, looked at Xu Chunliang, and smiled at Gao Xiaobai: "Your friend?"

Gao Xiaobai said: "Elementary school classmate."

"From Shuimu?"

Gao Xiaobai was thinking about how to introduce Xu Chunliang, and Xu Chunliang answered: "Sophomore."

Professor Qu said: "Xiaobai is already a graduate student."

Xu Chunliang said: "I repeated a grade!" He said to Gao Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, could you help me get a bowl of egg soup?"

Gao Xiaobai nodded and got up to leave.

As soon as Gao Xiaobai left, Professor Qu immediately ignored Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang said: "Idiot!"

"Huh?" Professor Qu thought he misheard.

Xu Chunliang sneered: "Huh what? Yeah, I’m talking to you. I can see right through people like you."

"What kind of behavior is this? How can you just insult someone? Which department are you from? I’m going to report you to your superior."

"Report your mother, do you believe I can rip out those dirty thoughts of yours?"

"You..." Professor Qu was left speechless with anger.

"You what? Get lost now, and you better put away those nasty thoughts of yours, or I’ll cut off that filthy thing and shove it down your throat."

"Ah!" Professor Qu’s face turned pale blue, wondering how such an uncultured person could appear at Shuimu. He had to find out which department this kid was from and make him pay the price.

Gao Xiaobai came back with a bowl of soup for Xu Chunliang, saw Professor Qu leaving with his tray, and asked bewildered: "Why did Professor Qu leave?"

Xu Chunliang said: "He insulted me!"

"Nonsense! The professor is really nice."

Xu Chunliang said: "Are you seriously nearsighted?"

Gao Xiaobai said: "Xu Chunliang, my eyesight is just fine, you don’t even know him."

Xu Chunliang laughed: "Anyway, let me say this: if he dares have any untoward ideas about you, just tell me, and I’ll handle it."

Gao Xiaobai said: "Don’t bring that street attitude into the school, the atmosphere here is quite good. Do you know why it’s called the Ivory Tower?"

"Isn’t ivory a banned product? An ivory tower might look pure on the surface, but there’s definitely a bloody story behind it."

Gao Xiaobai lost her appetite and made an excuse to leave early for class.

Xu Chunliang saw Professor Qu still eating and happily chatting with another female student. He discreetly took a photo and sent it to Mo Han, asking her to check the professor’s conduct.

Xu Chunliang wasn’t usually this meddlesome, but since this involved Gao Xiaobai, and despite her being a top student at Shuimu, she was too naive from staying in the Ivory Tower for too long. Her awareness of people’s malice was insufficient, and he needed to warn her timely. He would have ignored it if it were someone else.

While Xu Chunliang was investigating Professor Qu, Professor Qu was also investigating him. Being insulted by a student in broad daylight was intolerable. It wasn’t hard to look into Xu Chunliang’s details, and finding out that Xu Chunliang wasn’t an official student of Shuimu, Professor Qu still contacted the Europe Business School, complaining about the insult he received from Xu Chunliang at noon. However, he knew such complaints probably wouldn’t have much impact.

Not long after Xu Chunliang returned to the Dongzhou Restaurant, Mo Han came over.

It happened to be mealtime, and Xu Chunliang invited her to eat at the restaurant. As they sat down and Mo Han was browsing the menu, Mei Ru Xue called, asking if everything went well at school today.

Xu Chunliang said it couldn’t have been better. Mei Ru Xue told him to focus on his studies. She was currently playing mind games with her family and would come out to meet him when possible. Xu Chunliang didn’t want her to fight alone, so he suggested setting up a meeting with Master Qiao. Capture the leader first and everything else would be sorted out naturally.

After being on the call for a good five minutes, Xu Chunliang noticed Mo Han still leisurely browsing the menu: "What’s up? Haven’t you decided yet?"

Mo Han said, "Why don’t you make the recommendation?"

Xu Chunliang was just ordering food when Fu Guomin, the deputy director of the Beijing Office, accompanied some guests over. As Fu Guomin passed by, he greeted him and asked why he didn’t head to the private room.

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "Just the two of us grabbing a quick bite."

Fu Guomin said, "Then leave it to me. I’ll take care of it."

Xu Chunliang didn’t stand on ceremony, and soon the waiter started serving the dishes, bringing over a bottle of Changyu Dragon’s Breath Signature Vineyard wine. This wine was recently promoted there and is considered part of Changyu’s luxury series.

Xu Chunliang asked the waiter to open it and let it breathe for a bit.

Mo Han looked around at the surroundings; the decoration of Dongzhou Restaurant seemed a bit outdated, but the location was quite good, especially with its large parking lot. It was a wise investment for Dongzhou City to buy it back then.

The waiter delivered four exquisite cold dishes, not large portions but carefully prepared.

Mo Han said, "Seems like you’re quite popular here."

Xu Chunliang said, "Not just here, I have friends wherever I go." He poured a glass of red wine for Mo Han.

Mo Han swirled the wine glass, took a sniff, and found it surprisingly good. The two clinked glasses.

Xu Chunliang took a big sip. He hadn’t yet learned to appreciate wine, and he wrinkled his nose, saying, "Trying to be pretentious isn’t easy."

Mo Han said, "It’s not pretentious, it’s just a different wine culture. Once you drink more, you’ll understand." Putting down the wine glass, she added, "On your first day of class, you offended the school’s famous professor."

Xu Chunliang said, "Did you find out if there’s something off about that guy?" Mo Han replied, "I’m not your servant. Why should I do everything for you all the time?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t take it that way. I always consider you my friend."

"Friend?"

"A confidante!"

Mo Han said, "Hold on, I can’t assume that position. I barely know you. I’m not your friend, let alone a confidante. I can’t afford it."

"So you look down on me?"

Mo Han calmly said, "I did many things for you before, not because I wanted to, but because President Luan tasked me with it. You saved President Luan’s life, but lately, President Luan has also done a lot for you; I think the favor has been just about repaid."

Xu Chunliang said, "Between friends, there’s no talk of repayment. If you need help, just let me know."

Mo Han was about to speak when a chef pushed over a roast duck. It turned out that Dongzhou Restaurant had just hired a chef from Yulin to specialize in roast duck, and Fu Guomin arranged it for them.

Mo Han noticed that Xu Chunliang was indeed treated like a VIP here. They probably wouldn’t finish all the food tonight, no wonder he insisted on staying at Dongzhou Restaurant despite having a hotel assigned for his intensive studies.

Mo Han sent some information about Professor Qu to him. Xu Chunliang thoughtfully wrapped some roast duck for her, showing much consideration. After all, it’s wise to be polite when asking for favors.

Mo Han returned the wrapped duck back to him, unaltered, and Xu Chunliang blinked, thinking she found his hands dirty.

Xu Chunliang didn’t insist, taking it for himself. His own food isn’t dirty!

After looking through the information Mo Han provided, Xu Chunliang remarked, "I knew it, this guy wasn’t a decent person. I’ll pass this to Gao Xiaobai."

Mo Han said, "Let it slide when possible. In this world, many things don’t happen with just one hand clapping. It takes two to tango."

Xu Chunliang said, "Gao Xiaobai is probably not that type of person."

Mo Han asked, "Have you seen Mei Ru Xue?"

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Mo Han sighed, saying, "You really are a trouble magnet."

Xu Chunliang said, "By the way, I’ll return that necklace to you some other day. She doesn’t want it."

Mo Han said, "Once something is given, I won’t take it back. Don’t schedule anything for Saturday; you promised to do something for me."

At the Bao Li New Year Auction, Xu Chunliang had promised to help her treat someone, and it was about time to fulfill that promise.

Xu Chunliang said, "I currently don’t have a practicing license. If I need to treat someone, I need to ask someone to help me."

Mo Han said calmly, "The Shadow?" Xu Chunliang nodded. This girl was too sharp, understanding everything at once. Dealing with her required caution. It was now clear that both she and Luan Yuchuan had close ties to the Mo Family. Their motive for approaching him was clearly not just gratitude; their ultimate goal was still the secret of the Dragon Bone.

Mo Han said, "I can help you find the person."

Xu Chunliang said, "I’ll arrange it myself. Travel and consultation fees..."

"Ten thousand a day."

Xu Chunliang said, "Deal!"
