Scared, Gu Heping was trembling with fear and his face was extremely pale, he dared not say a word. Tong Li and Zuo Bin, squatting on the ground and listening to Fang Jinglun lecture Gu Heping, felt a chill in their hearts. Anyone who could mobilize such arge police force naturally held a prestigious status, at least in this county.


    However, Fang Jinglun had reprimanded Gu Heping for a full ten minutes like a grandson, and he didn’t dare to refute a single word. What was even more terrifying was that they had not only just hit Fang Jinglun, but also brazenly confessed their crimes to him. The words they had just spoken had now be evidence of their guilt, implicating the entire Tong family. Everything was over now, it was toote to say anything.


    Ten minutester, Gu Heping led a group of police officers to escort Tong Li and Zuo Bin out of the sickroom. “Mr. Fang, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble,” Xiao Shun apologized.


    “I feel like I was the one who got pped for you today,” Fang Jinglun said, looking at him.


    “Err… it’s just that things happened, and you just happened to be there,” Xiao Shun said, rubbing his temples awkwardly.


    Fang Jinglun snorted lightly, couldn’t help butugh: “Forget it, if it weren’t for today’s incident, I wouldn’t have known about all these dark clouds here. After all, not only is it the county government’s dereliction of duty, but it’s also my dereliction of duty.”


    “Speaking of which, what’s your beef with that kid?”


    Xiao Shun briefly told him about what had happened at Mountainview two days ago, of course, he embellished it a bit. Fang Jinglun, with his status, would not personally go to Tong Li for verification, and Tong Li and the Tong family could only swallow the bitter pill.


    As for the viins, Xiao Shun didn’t mind giving them an extra stab before they died.


    “Damn it, such evil forces absolutely cannot exist in our city. After I handle the scenic area, I will return and rectify the social atmosphere of our city,” Fang Jinglun said with a heavy tone.


    After chatting casually for a while, Fang Jinglun left Xiao Shun’s sickroom with his assistant, as he still had to visit Yuxu and sses.


    Yuxu and sses gave him simr feedback, the difference was that they both credited the deed of killing the monster to Xiao Shun, which made Fang Jinglun look at Xiao Shun with even more respect.


    He couldn’t help but sigh, people like Xiao Shun were rare in this world. They were kind-hearted, courageous, powerful, and not greedy for merit, like that 2 billion donation. If he hadn’t personally handled this fund in the city government, few people would know that it was donated by a man named Xiao Shun.


    Two dayster.


    Yuxu and sses were only injured externally and their lives were not in danger. The slightly injured employees of Starline Bio were also able to move around.


    Xiao Shun thought it was time to return to Stillwater, and thepensation issues would be handled by someone elseter.


    There shouldn’t be much money involved, so there was no need to stay here and haggle with them.


    As for the follow-up handling of the scenic area, that was Fang Jinglun’s business, and it was not his turn to worry about it.


    In order not to worry Yao Cen, he didn’t tell her about his injuries, and he also told the other employees not to mention it.


    As a man, if you get some injuries outside, you should bear them as best you can. He was a bit of a chauvinist after all.


    After receiving Xiao Shun’s call, Duan Jia rented a seven-seater business car and rushed to the county hospital.


    When he pushed open the door of the sickroom and saw Xiao Shun looking haggard, he teased him, “I didn’t expect you to get injured too. Where are you hurt? Let me see.”


    “Fractured,” Xiao Shun nced at him, “When we get back to Stillwater, go to Eighth Avenue first. I need to heal.”


    Although his body had recovered a bit now, after all, it was a serious injury and his face was very pale.


    Xiao Shun thought to himself, he would go to the small courtyard on Eighth Avenue to absorb the energy provided by the Spirit Stone to heal his injuries. One night would probably recover about fifty to sixty percent.


    So he decided not to tell Yao Cen about his return today, and nned to tell her about it the next day.


    “Can you walk now?”


    “It’s a bit difficult, you have to help me.”


    Without a word, Duan Jia walked over, picked him up from the sick bed and carried him princess-style out of the sick room. Duan Jia was tall and robust, and the princess carry created an odd spectacle. Xiao Shun was suddenly ovee by a strong sense of embarrassment, his face even turning red.


    Damn! Do I have some orientation issues?


    An absurd thought shed through his mind. Detecting the change in hisplexion, Duan Jia quickly set him down, grinned and said, “I’d better support you, lest you fall in love with me.”


    “Get lost!”


    By the time they returned to Stillwater, it was already evening. Duan Jia first took Xiao Shun to the small courtyard on Eighth Avenue, then dropped off the other employees at their homes.


    In the living room, Song Linger had ordered takeout. As the two of them had dinner, Xiao Shun recounted his recent experiences at Mount Kumi.


    “Didn’t you promise mest time that you would take me with you when you go out of town?” Song Linger said with a reproachful look on her face. “If you had taken me with you this time, you might not have been injured. I could have helped.”


    Xiao Shun just smiled and didn’t say anything.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    “You’re afraid Yao will think too much, aren’t you?”


    Song Linger pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and her bright eyes lit up.


    “Well, I’m on good terms with Zhu Que, and she’s responsible for protecting Yao now, right? I’ll go and hang out with her often, and then get close to Yao. That way, in the future, when you guys go somewhere, I can follow along like Zhu Que. Zhu Que protects Yao, and I protect you.”


    After saying this, she looked at Xiao Shun with her big eyes shing with anticipation, waiting for his approval.


    Xiao Shun was taken aback for a moment. This girl’s mind worked in mysterious ways, but her words made him feel a mix of emotions.


    For a girl to watch the man she likes being with someone else must be painful, right?


    Making Song Linger watch him and Yao Cen being affectionate was probably a very cruel thing to do. But this girl, like a warrior, was ready to face this cruelty head-on, just to be able to protect him.


    Yet to refuse her also seemed heartless.


    He gently nodded. Dealing with emotional matters wasn’t really his strong suit.


    Perhaps in a year or so, this young girl would be teaching at school. He might as well let her do as she pleased, thought Xiao Shun.


    Seeing his nod, Song Linger was jubnt.


    After dinner, Xiao Shun rested for a while before returning to the warehouse to heal himself. The Spirit Stone could provide ample energy, not only helping him recover his internal energy quickly, but also aiding in his cultivation progress.
