Chapter 786 Haunting Us All The Time (Part Four)
"I am fine. I just have some small scratches. It is no big deal. I will deal with them when we go back
tomorrow. You don''t need to worry about me. The most important task at hand is to make sure these
drug dealers don''t get away until the police arrive," ordered Daisy calmly. It was still early, so there
should be enough time for the police toe and arrest the dealers before it grew dark. It would be
better if they could transfer them to Mr. Yi, the director of the police station, today itself. She did not
want to wait until tomorrow. Too many unpredictable things could happen in between.
"Don''t worry! They have all been tied up. Those who are injured may still suffer a bit though. The
military medics could only give them a simple treatment for their wounds. The bleeding has been
stopped. But they will have to wait until they get to the hospital to take the bullets out by surgery,"
reported Mark. Though they had just undergone an intense battle, he was quite enthusiastic. The
Colonel had once again done a great job. Her merits were earned by her excellent abilities. Who could
still disapprove of her title?
"Did you ask for the ambnce too when you called Mr. Yi?" asked Daisy, frowning deeply. Apparently,
she hadn''t thought as far as Mark had. All she could wonder at was how lucky she had been this time
that she was still alive. It was not like she feared death much. But her life didn''t merely belong to
herself, but also to her beloved Edward. She couldn''t afford to lose it since that would break his heart
utterly.
"Yes, Colonel! I''ve mentioned that already. Shall I ask the military medic to take a look at your wounds
too?" asked Mark. He was concerned about Daisy''s wounds, but he didn''t want to see an angry
Edward either. He was already imagining how mad Edward would be when he got to know Daisy had
been hurt again. Every time she got injured, he grew frosty and truly acted like a demon from hell.
"Not yet. It does not matter. I will deal with them when I get back," answered Daisy. Her emotionless
face was still covered with oil paint from their training. It was hard to figure out what she was feeling.
But Mark had been herrade for so long, he could see that she was exhausted.
"Maybe you should take some rest inside the car then? I will wake you up when Mr. Yi arrives,
Colonel," suggested Mark. Mark had always been attentive. It was not always that a man was as
considerate as him.
"Okay then. But pay heed to their training progress. I hope that they can finish soon," said Daisy. She
did feel tired afterpleting the tasks. So she did not reject Mark''s suggestion this time. After giving
her final orders, she went to the Humvee that stood at a distance.
"Yes, Colonel! I''ll notify the leaders. Have a good rest!" Mark said, confirming her orders. As he
watched her get on the Humvee, Mark realized he was happy. He had a brilliant smile on his face,

simr to that of a young teenage boy.
Daisy had thought of only taking a nap. But she must have been too tired, and had fallen asleep right
away. By the time Mr. Yi arrived, she had slept for more than an hour.
"Colonel Ouyang, thank you very much! We have been tracking these drug dealers for a long time, but
could not execute their arrest due tock of evidence. We never thought they would have the courage
to trade drugs in your area. It is unlucky for them to meet you here, but they deserve it. With the proof
you have collected this time, we could charge them prison sentences for life. We are so grateful to
you!" Mr. Yi eximed fervently.
Actually, he felt quite small in stature every time he met Daisy Ouyang. It was not due to her high
ranking in the military base, but because of her ability to solveplications and sessfullyplete
impossible missions. Compared to her, he felt his own work did not match up in significance.
"It''s our responsibility to protect our country and society. The safety of the people also relies on us.
Arresting those who endanger our societyes under that. We just did what we were supposed to
do. You do not need to thank us," Daisy said politely. She was never someone who cared a lot about
her merits, even though it had cost her many promotions.
"In any case," Mr. Yiplimented, "You have made a great contribution to our country and to the
people today." To be precise, it was not just Daisy who had made the contribution. By tracking down
such arge drug transaction case and apprehending this group of drug dealers, Mr. Yi would also be
rewarded. That was the main reason he was so enthusiastic.
"It is not a big deal. We just did what we had to do. I think it would be better if you take the drug dealers
back to your station now. I can''t go with you as I still have a training session to monitor. But if you have
any problems, feel free to call me anytime. I am willing to assist in your investigation. Keep in touch,"
Daisy said, her tone still civil but cold. Watching the sun sink to the west, Daisy was lost in her
thoughts. Whether she got merits for such missions was no longer as important as it used to be. She
was no longer the young soldier from a few years ago, who needed to work hard and do her very best
to earn her title. At that time, she did not have anyone to rely upon. She was forced to take up
dangerous and deadly missions one after another, to make meritorious contributions and climb up the
rankingdder. The reason for the difference today was only one person - Edward, her beloved
husband. She had been pushing herself so hard for all the merits not because she wanted them for
herself. She had needed them to prove her abilities. She wanted to be approved by others so she
wouldn''t feel like she wasn''t good enough for Edward. After all, Edward was so extraordinary, that to be
with him, Daisy needed to be outstanding too. But now, he was hers, a man who only belonged by her
side and would always belong there. She did not feel the need to push herself so hard anymore.
"Okay, then we will leave now. If there is anything that might need your assistance, we will call you. We
will be in contact," Mr. Yi replied humbly. He had always been deferential with Daisy every time they
met, both because of her military ranking and her patriotic attitude. She was indeed a responsible
officer whopleted all her missions perfectly. Mr. Yi believed that Colonel Ouyang was ady who
demanded respect.
"Of course. I will be cooperative," Daisy said. When Mr. Yi left with the arrested drug dealers, she finally
got some quietude back. There would be a report to write regarding today''s event when she got back.
She sighed deeply. She frankly did not like that part of the job. They were only formalities without any
meaning to them. No one would ever read those reports. What a waste of time!
As the police cars roared to life and headed out, the wicked drug dealers and their goods were gone
with them too. But Daisy could not feelplete relief. She knew drugs would never fully disappear
from the world. People could easily earn much profit by trading them. As long as there were people
who worshiped money, there would be many other Shuras in the future. Just like what he said, people
like him only cared about getting lucky and receiving the coin, while someone else''s future could be
thrown under the bus for all they cared. Human beings were selfish. Each one of us was, to some
extent. But it all depended on how badly we craved for things that didn''t belong to us, and to what
degree we were willing to sacrifice to get to them.
