Physician's Odyssey Chapter 363 - Consultant of the Public Security Bureau

Due to Zhao Yongde's confession, the truth was revealed.

Before Zhao Yongde left, he had a vicious smile hanging on his lips that made Su Tao furrow his brows.

"Where's Old Sun?" Just when they're preparing to leave Dongyi Village, Jiang Qinghan noticed that the forensic doctor was missing.

"He had no face to stay and left." Zhang Zhen replied in disdain. "He has always been prideful, and he was known as the c.o.c.kiest forensic doctor in Hanzhou City. But Su Tao has given him a resounding slap this time!"

"Just be quiet!" Jiang Qinghan glanced around. She knew that Zhang Zhen had dissatisfaction with the forensic doctor, Old Sun. But she was the chief here, and she had to protect the harmony of the entire department.

Zhang Zhen shut his mouth with Jiang Qinghan's words, but he smiled in an embarra.s.sed manner. "You're the broad-minded one not to hold any grudges!"

When Jiang Qinghan was in the second team, she often went to get help from Old Sun. However, that fellow was extraordinarily c.o.c.ky and would purposely take his time, often dragging everyone down.

So since there's an opportunity for him to humiliate Old Sun, Zhang Zhen would definitely not let it go.

But after a brief pondering, Jiang Qinghan was a woman, and she did not mind that. As a man, it would make him seem too petty.

With a grin, Zhang Zhen came to the side and started giving out orders.

"You seem to have some thoughts!" Seeing Su Tao's silence, Jiang Qinghan asked with her brows knitted.

"It's nothing much!" Su Tao smiled as he purposely sneezed and found a reason while rubbing his nose. "The weather is too cold!"

"I have a coat in the car. It might be small for you, but it can still help you ward the cold." Jiang Qinghan turned to open the trunk and took out a green coat. "It's a habit of mine to bring a warming coat with me, since I often have to work overnight when handling cases. In cold weather, it will be easy to catch a cold if I wear less, so I always bring a coat with me."

Since he had already lied, he could only gnash his teeth and follow through it. Thus, Su Tao took the coat. Although it was a little short on the arms, it still looked stylish when he didn't b.u.t.ton it up. There was also a fragrance coming from the coat that made Su Tao's thoughts wander. He knew that this was definitely left behind when Jiang Qinghan wore it.

Half an hour later, backup came from the city. The discovery of an ancient tomb even alarmed the Munic.i.p.al Committee.

The Cultural City that was currently being built in Hanzhou City was still lacking in the highlight. So when a complete tomb of the Song Dynasty was discovered, The Secretary of the Munic.i.p.al Committee, Zhang Ping, immediately gave out orders to spare at all costs and protect the integrity of the tomb.

To secure the news from leaking that might cause the tomb to be excavated by others, the Munic.i.p.al Committee even requested a.s.sistance from the military. Thus, the villagers of Dongyi Village were startled when they saw two military trucks drive in.

The Vice-Bureau Chief of Hanzhou City's Public Security Bureau, Mei Dongcheng, who was also Jiang Qinghan's superior, also arrived on the scene. When he saw Jiang Qinghan, his face was immediately covered in smiles. "Chief Jiang, you've done another great contribution!"

Hearing the compliment, Jiang Qinghan modestly replied, "This is all due to everyone's efforts!"

Waving his hand, Mei Dongcheng responded, "Your team has also contributed!" When he saw Su Tao standing beside Jiang Qinghan, he smiled and asked, "This is?"

"I was just about to introduce him to you!" Su Tao wasn't a member of the Public Security Bureau, and Jiang Qinghan was afraid that Mei Dongcheng might have other thoughts. Hence, she immediately introduced, "This is Su Tao, you should have some impression of him, no?"

"So, he's Su Tao!" Mei Dongcheng took the initiative to give out a handshake and continued, "It's all thanks to your help that the SG Chaebol's food poisoning incident could be resolved. Could it be that the matter today also has something to do with you?"

However, it wasn't for Su Tao to commend himself, and he could only give an embarra.s.sed smile.

Since Jiang Qinghan had the thought of giving Su Tao credit, she explained the entire situation to Mei Dongcheng while excluding the part where she was under the influence of the drug.

Although the entire process was short, it was exciting and even made Mei Dongsheng exclaim in astonishment.

With a straight expression, Mei Dongcheng asked, "Little Su, are you interested in joining our Public Security Bureau?"

However, Su Tao suavely rejected, "I have my own TCM pharmacy that I've inherited to manage. I'm afraid that I might not be suitable for the job."

"Don't be in such a rush to refuse me; let me explain it to you. After you join the Public Security Bureau, you're not required to come in on a daily basis. We intend to hire some special talents this year to create a special consultant team that comprises the talents of various industries. There are too many varieties of criminal cases nowadays, such as the internet, finance, and there are many more new cases emerging. So we need some special talents to a.s.sist us." Mei Dongcheng showed a satisfied smile and added, "Naturally, you will be paid for your service!"

Su Tao turned to glance at Jiang Qinghan, and when he saw the smile on her lips, he knew that she probably had such thoughts as well.

When King You of Zhou tried to obtain a smile from a beauty, he even took it as far as making fun of his va.s.sals.

To please his master, it might not be a bad thing for him to enter the consultant team, and he might even have more chances to be with Jiang Qinghan. Although it might be dangerous, he could righteously pull their distance closer together.

Nodding his head, Su Tao showed a wry smile. "I'm afraid that I might not be up for the task, but I can give it a try. However, if I don't meet the standards, please dismiss me."

Waving his hand, Mei Dongcheng nodded with a smile. "I believe in my eyesight." When he turned around, he looked at Jiang Qinghan, "I'll leave the consultant team to you."

This was a plan that Jiang Qinghan has suggested. Hence, she nodded her head. "I'll follow through it."

With the scene being protected, aside from personnel of the City Cultural Bureau arriving in Dongyi City, the Provincial Cultural Bureau also arrived with specialists of the Antique Research Inst.i.tute. Hence, this case has come to an end with the Public Security Bureau handing the matter to the other departments while Jiang Qinghan left Dongyi Village with Su Tao.

"Is Xu Rui still annoying you?" Su Tao suddenly asked when the car drove onto the highway.

"He's been in some trouble recently. Some employees of his injured a man and created a negative effect on the government, so they intend to cancel the qualification of his company. He's now busy with public relations in Qiongjin City!" Jiang Qinghan replied.

"He's in Qiongjin City, but you're still able to receive his news. It looks like your relations.h.i.+p is pretty extraordinary!" Su Tao locked his brows together.

"Me? Do I need your approval to have interactions with anyone?" Jiang Qinghan questioned with a stern expression. She felt that Su Tao was overstepping his boundaries.

"I just don't feel that he's a good man, and I'm afraid of you being cheated!" Su Tao replied as he stuttered.

"I'm not any good person either, so it's not for certain who's cheating who!" Jiang Qinghan lowered her voice as she focused on driving.

In his heart, Su Tao was unhappy and wondered why Jiang Qinghan was so cold to him.

However, he had no idea that Jiang Qinghan was still p.i.s.sed at herself. The incident back in the tomb probably caused Su Tao to look down on her.

Otherwise, why would he ask about Xu Rui? Perhaps he thought that she was a careless woman.

Taking a deep breath, Su Tao replied, "I'm concerned about you and Yan Sha!"

"Just care about yourself!" Jiang Qinghan interrupted. "In the future, don't bother about me and Xu Rui's matters."

"Alright." Su Tao weakly sighed. He realised that he couldn't deal with Jiang Qinghan.

However, Jiang Qinghan was not only his master, but she's also an officer with a fiery temper.

When Jiang Qinghan parked the vehicle outside the Yan Residence, Su Tao sighed the moment he stepped out and followed in. Yan Wujin was currently drinking tea in the courtyard, and when he saw Su Tao come in, he suggested, "It's getting late now. Why don't you stay for dinner?"

However, Su Tao felt awkward with the sudden coldness of Jiang Qinghan's att.i.tude and found an excuse, "I have an appointment later, so I'll come by next time."

When he got into his car, he called Lu s.h.i.+miao's phone. Although they hadn't met for some time, the two of them have kept in contact. Firstly, it was due to the matters in Qihuang Charity Funds, where Lu s.h.i.+miao had to seek advice from Su Tao; secondly, Su Tao had to periodically ask in regards to Little Yuan's Aphasia.

"Let me treat you and Little Yuan to some western food!" Su Tao suggested with a smile. "With your culinary at that level, consider it as giving Little Yuan a change of taste for once."

"Shouldn't you be more sincere about inviting someone? Aren't you afraid of me rejecting your invitation?" Lu s.h.i.+miao threatened with a smile.

"Alright, your culinary skills are excellent, but you have to occasionally get a change of taste. Bringing Little Yuan to have western food can also widen her experience and be effective in treating her Aphasia." Su Tao instantly changed his tone.

"What a baddie who sees the wind and sets the helm!" Lu s.h.i.+miao glanced at Little Yuan, who was seated in the living room watching television and replied, "Send me the address, but I might be a little late!"

When she hung up the phone, she hummed a tune and waved her hand at Little Yuan. "Uncle Su is going to treat us for dinner. Come, let's dress up!"

Little Yuan's eyes instantly lit up. She had a deep impression of Su Tao. She had been puzzling over why hadn't he come to see them. Hence, she turned off the television with the remote control and followed Lu s.h.i.+miao into her children's room.

Lu s.h.i.+miao meticulously decorated her room with wallpaper pasted over the wall, along with pieces of pink furniture and a bed. There were all sorts of children's books on the shelf that were suitable for her age. Opening the closet, it was filled with all kinds of new clothes.

Lu s.h.i.+miao has put in great effort for Little Yuan since she saw a shadow of herself in the latter. Thus, she was determined to give the best to Little Yuan.

"What do you want to wear?" Lu s.h.i.+miao asked with a smile.

After Little Yuan briefly hesitated, she pointed at the white padded jacket. As Lu s.h.i.+miao nodded her head, she knew that that was the common thought of little girls, hoping that they could be the darling of heaven like Snow White.

After changing Little Yuan, Lu s.h.i.+miao entered the master bedroom and found a white fur coat along with a pink scarf. After putting on some lip gloss, she was dazzling to the eyes.

Standing beside Lu s.h.i.+miao, Little Yuan was dumbfounded before she gave out a hand sign and praised, "Mummy Lu, you're too beautiful!"
