Special Forces Medic-Chapter 738 - 705: Fourth Master Wants to See You

"Did I hear you wrong?" Yao Zheng brushed aside the curtain, a cigarette clenched in his hand, the fatigue of the morning showing itself in the evening. Listening to Ji Weihua's report, he fell into deep thought.

"I saw Yan Fengying take people from the city committee into Hengfei Mansion, but only those two kids from the city committee came out."

"Impossible, right? It shouldn't be!" Yao Zheng couldn't understand what these two were doing. Could they have just let her go? "How did you hand over the documents to Hua's office?"

"I went to the police station and handed them to Xu Ming."

"Idiot!" Yao Zheng instantly exploded with anger. "Did I ask you to hand over everything?"

"I was incompetent; there was another person present at the time who I felt was very suspicious."

"Besides those two people, were there others from the city committee?"

"According to Xu Ming, experts sent from above are involved. The body interrupted in the North Palace has been pieced together; now it just lacks the graphics."

"The image must not be revealed."

"I will attend to it immediately."

"Wait!" Yao Zheng stopped Ji Weihua. "This time, let someone else handle it. Don't go out again, and don't cause any deaths."

"Understood."

Ji Weihua left Yao Zheng's office with his orders, thinking of how to destroy the evidence. "Director Ji!" Someone passing by suddenly called Ji Weihua. He stopped and turned his head but saw no one he recognized. It was just a silhouette walking in another direction, holding a phone as if talking. Was he hearing things? With a wry smile, he shook his head and entered the elevator.

"Why did you come back?" Yao Zheng, with his legs crossed, looked down at the road. Why did Hua Qingyi let Yan Fengying go? He couldn't fathom it. After leaving Hengfei Mansion, Hua Qingyi's car drove directly to the city center without stopping. He bit his finger, and even the sound from behind couldn't pull his attention from his line of sight.

No one intended to acknowledge him, yet he could distinctly feel someone behind him. "Who's there?" Yao Zheng suddenly spun around; there was nobody. A cold sweat broke out on him; his intuition wouldn't be wrong. There was someone else in the room; he just couldn't see them.

"Who? Show yourself!" As he spoke, his hand reached into the drawer of his desk where a 'Desert Eagle' lay hidden. He quietly grasped it.

The air was thick with breath, right behind him. Feeling the other person's presence, Yao Zheng rolled to the ground and fired a shot towards the back, the bullet hitting the wall.

He could never see the other person clearly, but he was sure of one thing: This person wasn't there to kill him, or he'd already be dead. He was definitely not a match for this person.

"If you're here, state your purpose." He shouted into the air again, Secretary Li's inquiries already coming from outside the door. "I'm fine."

"The master wants to see you." This time, the voice wasn't behind Yao Zheng but to his left, where a figure sat on his couch.

"Fourth Master wants to see me?"

"You've been using Fourth Master's people without permission; better handle the aftermath yourself!"

At the figure's first words, Yao Zheng's heart sank. "I can explain."

"Explaining to me is useless; get ready. The car is already downstairs."

From the underground parking garage, a black car sped out, leaping high before landing on the ground. From outside, one couldn't see inside the car, and Yao Zheng was sitting tensely in the back seat while Secretary Li sat beside him, deviating from his usual front-seat position, looking more like a leader instead.

Yao Zheng looked outside the window uneasily; the figure that had appeared in front of him now sat in the front passenger seat.

"Sorry, District Chief Yao." As the car passed a river, Secretary Li sitting at the side pulled out a black cloth from his pocket. "This is the rule; it should be familiar to you!"

Panicked, Yao Zheng wanted to avoid the layer of black cloth; indeed, it was the rule. He had to be blindfolded all the way to prevent him from remembering the route. The car's jolts were always exceptionally bumpy. Yao Zheng had tried to remember the routes traveled but later found that even if his eyes were covered, the car would detour before heading to the destination. Such cautiousness made Fourth Master even more mysterious.

However, this time, the car didn't take too many detours and arrived at the destination directly after more than ten minutes. The car bumped over a protrusion before stopping. Secretary Li got out first, assisting Yao Zheng out of the car before removing the blindfold from his eyes.

Yao Zheng's first reaction was the meeting place had changed. It looked like a brick kiln factory. "Why bring me here? Wasn't I supposed to meet Fourth Master?"

"Follow me." The figure walked into a giant chimney, and Yao Zheng was pushed inside by someone from behind. He couldn't mistake this location; in Ji Weihua's submitted report, this was the underground manufacturing site destroyed by Dragon Soul. Hadn't it been sealed off? How could Fourth Master be here? The question didn't linger long in his mind before the answer came.

It was his first time going underground, the first time truly witnessing the pharmaceutical process. Only now, it had become a wasteland. The ground was cleared spotless, and a woman in white comfortably sat on a thick, soft couch, surrounded by wooden low cabinets and living essentials, resembling a residence.

The woman, side-sitting, smoked from a long pipe in the furnace. The air was filled with a smell that couldn't be distinguished as medicinal or floral fragrance.

Yao Zheng had not met the Fourth Master for the first time, but each meeting, he was captivated by her beauty. No man could refuse such a temptress, nor would he bear to refuse her. The woman seemed to be resting with her eyes closed, but the smoke coming out of her mouth proved she was awake.

The woman said nothing, and naturally, Yao Zheng dared not speak. He quietly waited on the side. The others had quietly left, leaving only three people in the spacious underground: the woman, Yao Zheng, and the man who had brought Yao Zheng here. Three people, three positions, different heights, different depths, different ranks.

Yao Zheng didn't know when the woman would wake up from her leisure, so he could only wait. The waiting process was painful, as you had to stand not knowing how long you would have to stand, but it was also an enjoyment because you could look at a beauty you would never tire of. Yao Zheng did not crave this pleasurable pain at this moment. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Yao Zheng!" The Fourth Master had already opened her beautiful eyes as Yao Zheng stood still, her cold gaze forcing him to slowly kneel on the ground.

Not a single extra word was needed, nor was an extra move necessary for this woman to make a man who was feared in the northern district kneel before her without any complaint.

"Do you know why I called you here?" Beneath the angelic face was a man's rich voice. Yao Zheng did not dare to raise his head. He wanted to say he didn't know, but dared not speak up.

"Don't think that just because I don't show up, I am unaware of what's going on outside. I've let you be, but that doesn't mean I can tolerate you."

"I don't understand what I did wrong," Yao Zheng thought for a while before deciding to take a chance.

"Don't know?" The Fourth Master sat up, her long legs crossed while white gauze covered her small feet. "Why did you set fire to Beigong?"

"Beigong wasn't done on my orders," Yao Zheng immediately denied, a slight cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"Ah! It really wasn't you," the Fourth Master nodded, as if his hasty denial was within her expectation. "Then who do you say did it?"

"I don't know." Yao Zheng became much calmer.

"You don't know?" The Fourth Master looked at Yao Zheng playfully.

"I truly don't know."

"Do you know the value of Beigong?" The Fourth Master suddenly changed the subject, causing Yao Zheng to stare at her blankly. "Did I say you could look at me?" After the cold voice, a stinging pain spread across Yao Zheng's face, as if it had been cut by a knife.

"I know!" Despite everything, he had no choice but to answer her question.

"You know, then why did you let it happen? And what about that woman?"

"She has been released."

Ha ha ha! The Fourth Master laughed instead of getting angry. "Who let you use my people?"

"I just thought leaving that person was dangerous, so I made the decision myself."

"Oh? Is that so?" The Fourth Master arched her eyebrow, casually glancing over Yao Zheng. "She's just an unarmed woman. Can't your men handle it? Yao Zheng, don't think I don't know what's going on in your mind. Do you think you can just push your own woman out and rest easy? You underestimate the people of the Hua family. Without a bit of strength, who dares to take on this task?"

"Fourth Master, I absolutely had no intention of selling you out."

"Ha ha ha, did I ever say you wanted to sell me out?"

"This... I misspoke."

"Yao Zheng, apologies don't work with me. You need to know I can raise you up, or I can pull you down."

"Please give me a little more time, Master. I will surely take care of it."

"What about the last batch of drugs?"

"The situation recently has been tense, half of it still hasn't been sold. Planning to ship it out through the port, we are already in contact with a buyer on the other side." Yao Zheng lowered his head, feeling that his face had swollen a bit.

"Why have I heard your woman's been making quite a stir lately? Don't cause me any trouble at this critical juncture. You're already drawing enough attention, understand?"

"Yes, I understand, Master. Please give me a week, and I will definitely resolve these issues."

"A week? Very well, you said it yourself. If you can't achieve it, you know the outcome."

"I understand."

"Mm, you may leave now." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) and give your support by voting with recommendations, monthly passes, your support is my biggest motivation.)
