Chapter 939: You Made a Mistake
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Xia Bingbao nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Yang Ming and said nothing. “Well, you should go to eat first. I won’t be eating. I still have other important things to do. I will report to my superior about today’s matter. In addition, I will let you sign a confidentiality agreement and create a file for you.”
“Confidentiality agreement?” Yang Ming frowned. He looked up at Xia Bingbao and said faintly, “I think you got it wrong, right?”
Xia Bingbao was stunned looking at Yang Ming, baffled. “I got it wrong? What do you mean? Those who work in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau must sign this confidentiality agreement.”
Yang Ming looked at Xia Bingbao and shook his head. “First, I only promised to be hired as a special investigator. Our relations.h.i.+p is a cooperative relations.h.i.+p. To be exact, you are asking me to do something; rather than me asking something from you, so I won’t sign any agreement with you, but I will merely not talk about these things. Do you think I will let others know that I have special abilities?
Second, I’m used to acting on my will. As for creating a file, you can create a temporary, but don’t treat me as your subordinate or something, because I have the right to refuse the tasks you have arranged for me.”
After listening to Yang Ming’s words, Xia Bingbao suddenly smiled bitterly. He thought Yang Ming would be easy to deal with, but he didn’t expect Yang Ming to be such a problematic character.
However, Yang Ming’s requests could still be satisfied because the special investigators in the bureau had different ident.i.ties. Many of them requested conditions that were harder to achieve than Yang Ming’s requests. But due to the special nature of the bureau, these special requirements could also be met.
What’s more, some special investigators were not in the country all the time, and some even partake in a virgin forest expedition or treasure hunt in the ocean. They couldn’t even be found when they were needed. However, the investigation bureau still reluctantly accepted their requests.
Who made them have the capability? These people were relatively proud. It was not easy for them to help you a few times when you need them. You can’t ask too much from them, right?
“Well, then I will try my best…” Xia Bingbao promised with difficulty.
Yang Ming nodded. He wanted this result. When dealing with such an inst.i.tution, he couldn’t get too close, but he had to respect it. Since they found him and knew his secrets, if he didn’t cooperate, there would be trouble later.
However, if Yang Ming was too cooperative, it was not what he wanted. After all, Yang Ming had his own way of life. Moreover, if he joined their organization, he had to mind his ident.i.ty and couldn’t do what he wanted.
Therefore, Yang Ming only considered that he could form a cooperative relations.h.i.+p, but not a superior and subordinate relations.h.i.+p. If they asked Yang Ming to help, he would offer it. After all, Yang Ming was still a very patriotic person.
When Yang Ming turned around and walked to the door, Xia Bingbao said “little fox” silently behind Yang Ming, but he did not dare to make a sound for Yang Ming to hear.
“Old fox.” Yang Ming cursed without looking back, then he pushed the door and went out.
Xia Bingbao was stunned in the room! He never imagined that Yang Ming could see what he was saying even when Yang Ming was facing his back to him. Could it be that his x-ray vision is omnidirectional?
When he thought of this, Xia Bingbao was even more excited. People with such skills, it was reasonable to have a request; it would be weird if there were no requests.
Yang Ming did this to increase his own bargaining power. After all, Yang Ming’s att.i.tude was very firm, but he also wanted to let Xia Bingbao know that he was strong because he was capable!
Xia Bingbao did not stay at Chen Fei’s house to eat, but after speaking a few words with Chen Fei, he left the Chen house. The things about Yang Ming were highly confidential. Even Chen Fei couldn’t be told.
However, Xia Bingbao didn’t avoid Xia Xue. Because Xia Xue had a deep understanding of the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, Xia Xue initially had to join the investigation bureau based on the idea of her grandfather and Xia Bingbao. However, Xia Xue didn’t like this kind of department that didn’t even have one case in a year, so she volunteered to join the police station as a policewoman.
Xia Bingbao’s father, however, wanted Xia Xue to take over his position to work at the company, but Xia Xue still did not agree. The two elders in the family were angry because of her. Xia Bingbao was troubled by it as well, but he was helpless against his sister.
However, in less than a year, that Xia Xue could be promoted to the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team was due to the power behind the Xia Family.
“Yang Ming, what did Little Xia talk to you about?” After Xia Bingbao left, Chen Fei asked Yang Ming with a smile.
“Nothing much. He asked about the incident yesterday when Xia Xue and I encountered the mythical ghost wall.” Yang Ming naturally wouldn’t tell the real purpose why Xia Bingbao was looking for him, so he casually told a lie.
Chen Fei knew about what happened yesterday, so he didn’t doubt it. He nodded and changed the topic. “Yang Ming, it’s been a long time since you visited Uncle Chen’s house, right?”
“Yeah, I went on a trip a few days ago. I didn’t know Uncle Chen was discharged from the hospital. If not, I would have picked you up.” Yang Ming smiled, “Oh right, Uncle Chen, are your legs recovered?”
“I still have to rest for a while, but I can still walk if I am using a crutch.” Chen Fei smiled, “This injury is nothing.”
“Right, Uncle Chen, I have a friend who is a traditional Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner. He has a lot of research on fractures. He previously gave me a prescription for bone fractures. I will write it down for you. You just have to use it for a month, and you can basically recover.” Yang Ming was obviously talking about Fang Tian’s prescription, but he couldn’t reveal Fang Tian’s ident.i.ty, so he fabricated a person.
“Oh? Really? There is such a magical thing?” Chen Fei was a little surprised. “The doctor of the hospital said that it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone fracture!”
“It’s true. My friend is very good. It is said that his ancestor was also a royal doctor.” Yang Ming nodded and continued to fabricate.
After Zhang Bing’s previous injury, Yang Ming paid special attention to this prescription. It’s just that Zhang Bing already recovered by the time Yang Ming found the prescription from Fang Tian’s information, but he still remembered the prescription.
“Old Chen, what Yang Ming said should be true!” Mother Chen said, “The Chinese medicine in our country is profound. Some people say that Chinese medicine was not as good as Western medicine. In fact, they have never seen a really powerful traditional Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner, and there are many swindlers now. Therefore, it gives a lot of misinformation. In my organization, Little Liu’s father had a sequela of cerebral hemorrhage ramifications that caused him to have hemiplegic paralysis. The modern hospital had no way about it. However, she found a traditional Chinese medicine pract.i.tioner who practices acupuncture for generations in her hometown. After doing acupuncture for half a year, her father recovered and became like a normal person!”
Because of personal contact with such things, Mother Chen still believed in Chinese medicine.
“I will try it then!” Chen Fei was a little moved. Anyway, Chinese medicine couldn’t kill him. After Yang Ming wrote the prescription, he would consult the pharmacy. If there was no poison after mixing, Chen Fei planned to try it.
“Okay, then I will write the description for you after the meal.” Yang Ming nodded.
After the meal, Yang Ming was called into the study by Chen Fei alone. This made Yang Ming feel a bit guilty. He didn’t know if Chen Fei wanted to ask about the matter that Xia Bingbao told him about.
“Uncle Chen, you’re looking for me…” Yang Ming still felt awed by Chen Fei, the elder.
“En, Yang Ming, you write down the prescription first, then I have something to tell you.” Chen Fei did not sit in the boss’ chair behind the desk, but he sat in a wheelchair.
Yang Ming didn’t know what Chen Fei wanted to say. He was nervous, but he still wrote the prescription and handed it to Chen Fei. “Uncle Chen, I have written clearly the prescription and the method of decocting. Just take the medicine according to the above method.”
Chen Fei took the prescription and looked at it; then he put it into his pocket and looked up. He said to Yang Ming seriously, “Yang Ming, are you and Mengyan already…”
Yang Ming’s heart was suddenly shocked! He did not expect Chen Fei to talk about this with him! Although Chen Fei did not say it clearly, Yang Ming was not stupid. Chen Fei was definitely referring to whether or not they had developed a s.e.xual relations.h.i.+p.
Chen Fei’s senses were so sharp. It was basically impossible to hide from him. However, Yang Ming did do it, so he did not want to lie. He nodded awkwardly.
Chen Fei saw Yang Ming admit it, and he could not help but sigh. “Didn’t I tell you before? You two are still too young. It is best not to indulge in s.e.x prematurely.”
“Uncle Chen, you know… Sometimes, this kind of thing is involuntary…” Yang Ming smiled bitterly. “Mengyan and I are doing it naturally. If I restrained myself, I don’t think both of us will feel better…”
Chen Fei felt amused listening to Yang Ming’s words, but the reason that Yang Ming gave was indeed true, so he nodded, “En, I don’t want to blame you, but everything should be controlled. Don’t do it too often, and be sure to use contraception. I don’t need to explain this, right?”
Yang Ming nodded to show that he understood.
“Well, I won’t say that.” Chen Fei patted Yang Ming’s shoulder, “You two are adults now. Just be careful.”
Yang Ming also smiled and expressed his understanding. Yes, Chen Fei is the father of Chen Mengyan. It is normal to care about his daughter. If he didn’t care, then it is not normal.
