Special Forces Medic

Chapter 946 918: Origins in Doubt

For some reason, Xiao Lin's left hand, which had been in a constant state of unease, began to tremble. The surgery room lights were still bright. He knew Hua Qingyi would be fine, as his inner anxiety wasn't from the person inside. Who was so close to him, capable of making him feel uneasy and sad at first sight? He looked up at the falling daylight, red clouds swallowed by darkness amidst specks of gold.

Finally, the light by the surgery room door dimmed, and Hua Qingyi was pushed out on a bed. The anesthesia hadn't completely worn off, but his eyes were already searching for something.

"I just heard the doctor say I need to lie here for a month, why wasn't it you holding the scalpel?" The person, throwing a tantrum like a child, complained upon finding Xiao Lin, leaving the doctors who came out awkward.

"A month? That's a bit short, add another fifteen days." Xiao Lin pretended to discuss seriously with the doctor, ignoring Hua Qingyi completely.

"Hey, how can you do that? One or two months, how can I lie down for so long!"

"If you don't want to lie down for that long, be good and listen to the nurses. Seeing you so energetic reassures me." Before Hua Qingyi was pushed into the private hospital room, Xiao Lin stopped, then walked to the other side of the corridor, keeping company alone there for a long time.

"I've already deployed my people in the vicinity. Before you leave, there's something I must tell you." Yelu Shou blinked his eyes in reminiscence, his high ponytail exposing his neck as if tempting the visit of a vampire; the blood vessels on his neck gently throbbed. "Xiao Ya has boarded the plane arranged by the master flying to the United States, so you still have time to decide whether or not to go. Also, the former 'Underground City' City Lord has disappeared, even I can't trace his whereabouts."

"To the airport!"

From the green passage directly onto the plane, placed in first class, Xiao Ya turned towards the window, expressionless. Directly sent from Liger City to the plane, the arrangements were flawless, not in vain despite his painstaking planning. He coldly chuckled, sweeping his gaze over the planes on the tarmac, closing his eyes until someone sat beside him, abruptly causing him to glance at her.

"It's you!"

"Don't be surprised. I've been forcibly sent to the United States like you, and as one of the conditions, I must accompany you, so seeing me isn't surprising. You'll frequently see me for a while."

"Haha, having Dragon Soul's first Military Advisor by my side, truly a goodwill gesture." Xiao Ya mockingly glanced at Lian, then continued to pretend to sleep.

"Whether you like it or not, it's the truth. We are merely bait." Lian's mood wasn't much better than Xiao Ya's. Xiao Ya snorted coldly with his eyes closed, masterminding such extensive arrangements merely to let another person answer to the United States and return to the Xiao Family, necessary?

People gradually entered the cabin, and as the cabin started to decompress, they were about to leave this land. "Once we reach the destination, we part ways."

"I wish to, but I can tell you clearly, it's unlikely." Lian flipped through a magazine, sipping the airplane's juice. The first-class cabin had only the two of them, extravagantly reserving it, lacking Xiao Zhenfeng's informants among the people behind. "Believe it or not, the economy cabin is full of surveillance watching us."

"First row, D seat, third row middle aisles two, no need to mention others."

Lian laughed heartily. "We must coexist here for dozens of hours, can't shake it off, let's ally."

The plane finally took off from the runway. People in the waiting room stared silently as the tail climbed slowly into the sky. Airplane on the runway accelerated into the clouds, heading for another direction.

"We enter Miao Village from Yun Nan, Elder Miao has relocated the entire Miao family to Guang Xi. The original village was completely sealed off due to a virus outbreak. After the experts evacuated, the government ordered the entire village burned to eradicate the virus spread. In reality, there wasn't any effective control; instead, the most extreme method solved the issue."

"Are you saying that apart from those who weren't infected, the rest were killed and bodies destroyed?"

"That seems to be the case. The algorithm you submitted never reached there, and those presumptuous people didn't adopt your method, delaying the condition."

"Damn it!"

"In some matters, indeed, we are insignificant." Yelu Shou seemed to view things more liberally than Xiao Lin. "You know why the master sent Xiao Ya to the United States, but I don't think he's impulsive about you going over, though I haven't told you, accompanying him is Dragon Soul's Military Advisor."

"He's forcing me to leave because he doesn't want me to delve into matters from over ten years ago."

"You're not the type who listens obediently." Yelu Shou glanced back at the economy cabin, but the curtain blocked his vision. Apart from the two of them, first-class cabin housed two others. He lowered his voice to whisper in Xiao Lin's ear. "However, I've found some things, though the information source wasn't reliable."

"What did you find out?"

"Lin, if everything you've done doesn't amount to anything, what would you do?"

"Just say what you've heard."

"You might not be a Xiao Family member." Yelu Shou seemed to struggle for a long time before subtly revealing the information he heard. "I can't deny this news might stem from some plot, but I..."

"I know what you mean."

"Did you already suspect from the start?" Xiao Lin's calm shocked Yelu Shou, his eyes widened.

"I just want to know the truth. A matter should've been simple but got complicated by the old man. The opposition is merely to stop my investigation. His rush to place me on the throne also has ulterior motives. I suspected my identity but can't fathom many things. If I'm not a Xiao Family member, who am I? That's what I'm aiming to find out."

"This is just unreliable information."

"Any unreliable information comes from its source. Without even a whisper, how could there be a flock of sheep? Even if the enemy spreads rumors, there's a root cause." A stream of turbulence abruptly halted their conversation. Through the speakers came the captain's warning. They were crossing a storm belt. Cries arose from the economy cabin, yet for Xiao Lin, such incidents were routine. He softly rejected the supposed farewell letter offered by the flight attendant.
