Chapter 358: Best Frenemies
Mu Anhan snorted: "Small has its advantages; you can switch between man and woman freely. When you grow up, be careful; you might lose your balance while catching a thief."
Xue Xiangtong: "...How can you roast me like this!"
This is truly the best kind of frenemies!
Mu Anhan laughed as she prepared to get out of the car, "I have something to do, I’m leaving now! Let’s chat when we’re free next time!"
"Sure, I’ll go see your big brother and third brother; I have to return to the team later." Xue Xiangtong nodded.
Before parting, they exchanged a glance, making sure not to let this secret identity slip.
This was a secret the two had since their youth; now, being able to play together even as adults was still a special joy.
Tang Haolang watched as the little Divine Doctor got out of the car; despite trying to conceal his smile, warmth still lingered in the corner of his eyes. It was a warmth he’d never seen before.
Could this cold and strange little Divine Doctor also show warmth?
Does love really change a person?
Mu Anhan glanced at the pondering Tang Haolang: "Not leaving yet?"
Tang Haolang had come over in his very flashy red sports car, "Get in!"
Mu Anhan got in and closed her eyes to rest, "Call me when we arrive."
"Okay!" Tang Haolang drove directly to the hillside villa.
This was Shui Chaoyu’s private residence. After being whipped a hundred times, he returned here to recuperate.
Although Gu Xiaozhan was merciless when punishing him, he took great care in seeking the little Divine Doctor to treat him.
When they entered, Lu Haoyu and Tang Zhoucheng were also present.
Lu Haoyu had already met the little Divine Doctor. Tang Zhoucheng took one look and was a bit surprised; this young and handsome little Divine Doctor was coldly distant.
"This is Vice Marshal Lu and Vice Marshal Tang." Tang Haolang introduced them, "This is the little Divine Doctor."
The three of them nodded toward each other as a greeting.
"Could the little Divine Doctor take a look at Chaoyu? He’s been having a fever," Lu Haoyu said, aware of the Divine Doctor’s skills, as his nephew Li Qivi was cured by him. He quickly mentioned.
Tang Haolang promptly explained: "He was ordered by Mr. Gu to be whipped a hundred times. The military doctors treated him, and he’s been on an IV to bring down his fever, but it keeps recurring. Mr. Gu is very worried about Vice Marshal Shui, so he specially spent a fortune to invite the little Divine Doctor to see him."
He knew the little Divine Doctor took payment for treatments, so he did not hesitate to mention a substantial reward.
"Take me to have a look!" the little Divine Doctor said coolly.
Lu Haoyu led the way, and the four of them proceeded to the bedroom.
Shui Chaoyu was lying face down on the bed, his back covered in bloody welts, shocking to behold, with hardly any intact skin.
Mu Anhan couldn’t help but be stunned; she’d heard that Gu Xiaozhan was strict in his way of ruling the troops, but seeing it firsthand was quite another thing.
She took out silver needles and administered them to Shui Chaoyu, then took out a bottle of ointment and handed it to Tang Haolang: "Apply this to him, and it’d be best if you could use inner strength to meld it into his flesh, allowing full absorption."
"I’m just a trickster of mediocre skills, good for fooling people but no master martial artist," Tang Haolang said, troubled.
Lu Haoyu and Tang Zhoucheng were also soldiers without a formal background in Ancient Martial Arts, so they were at a loss too!
"Divine Doctor, can’t you do it?" Tang Zhoucheng asked back.
"I have a girlfriend, I don’t touch others," Mu Anhan had her considerations.
After all, her true identity was Gu Xiaozhan’s wife. If every time she treated patients and had intimate contact with their bodies, the consequences would be unimaginable if her possessive husband found out!
