Chapter 873: Chapter 873: Gentle Only to Her

When Firebird saw Mu Anhan again, he was actually a bit nervous.

He wasn’t unfamiliar with life and death; whenever he couldn’t hold on, he would think of her.

Mu Anhan was the entire reason he kept going.

Xue Xiangtong didn’t notice the man’s odd behavior at all; as soon as she saw Mu Anhan coming downstairs, she ran over quickly.

"Han Han..."

Xue Xiangtong hugged her tightly.

"Rest assured, the captain and I will do our utmost to catch that villain."

Mu Anhan felt a warm sensation rise in her heart; there were always people around who loved her.

Mu Anhan patted Xue Xiangtong’s shoulder, "Let’s sit over there and talk!"

Now, Firebird was a guest in her home.

She couldn’t neglect a guest, could she?

Especially when it was a guest who had been missing for so long.

Zhu Chen had someone send up tea and pastries, and Xue Xiangtong started eating without hesitation.

Firebird gazed at Mu Anhan, "Mrs. Gu, Xiang Tong said you performed surgery on me. After I woke up, I never thanked you in person. Thank you!"

"You saved Tong Tong, and I merely did what a doctor should do. Even if I didn’t perform the surgery, other doctors could have," Mu Anhan nodded.

Firebird felt a pang of sourness and bitterness in his heart; to her, he would always be just a stranger, wouldn’t he?

Or perhaps they’d become familiar, but only because he was Xue Xiangtong’s superior.

"Today, we mainly want to understand the characteristics of the murderer; Sister Feishuang said you had an encounter with the killer," Xue Xiangtong asked while eating.

Mu Anhan nodded, "He’s very skillful, quite adept with a dagger, wears diamond earrings..."

"So, it was Han Han who sent it?" Xue Xiangtong suddenly interrupted her.

When Miao Feishuang mentioned the confrontation, Firebird had already guessed that the diamond earring, which had served as evidence last time, was sent by Mu Anhan.

"Don’t do anything so dangerous in the future," Firebird looked at her very gently.

He wanted to say it seriously, but the moment it came out, the tone changed.

Mu Anhan paused, Pei Zhe and Gu Xiaozhan were always different.

Pei Zhe treats her with gentleness, even when she makes mistakes, he never scolds her, only helps her achieve her goals.

She stared at him blankly, feeling a mix of emotions in her heart.

Xue Xiangtong watched the two of them and laughed, "Han Han, do you feel it’s odd too? The captain is usually very stern; at this moment, he’s too gentle! Wow, I can’t believe I’m seeing the captain’s gentle side..."

Firebird’s face turned slightly red; after five years in the military, he had long become strong as steel, but with Mu Anhan, he couldn’t help but be gentle.

Surely there’s someone who’ll make him gentle like this for his whole life.

Even if she no longer belongs to him.

Or perhaps she never belonged to him at all.

"Your captain is injured; naturally, he can’t be stern," Mu Anhan found an excuse to gloss over the situation.

Xue Xiangtong shook her head, "No! When he instructs me, he’s still very direct!"

Firebird turned his head and gave her a glance.

When his gaze became slightly stern, Xue Xiangtong promptly fell silent. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Han Han, continue," she quickly added.

Mu Anhan recalled the situation, "He’s about the same as an ordinary person, accustomed to using his right hand to wield a dagger, height between 185 and 190 cm, weighs around 70 to 80 kilograms, big eyes, double eyelids..."

Xue Xiangtong muttered while writing, "Han Han, this is incredibly detailed!"
