Novel Bin Chapter 236 - 236: Going Back On His Word
“Do you have any idea how foolish you were just now? You weren’t even sure of your own capabilities. If it weren’t for me happening to come across you, do you know how serious the consequences would have been today?”
Ye Xiaofei kept a stern expression on her face. Taking this opportunity to give this woman a good lesson.
Chu Tong nodded repeatedly, filled with guilt, and said, “You’re right. I knew he was an extremely dangerous individual, but 1 didn’t call for backup directly, nor did I wait for backup to arrive. I felt my own safety wasn’t a big issue, but missing a chance to catch him could have put other colleagues in danger. It was all my fault.”
Chu Tong’s humble acceptance of the lesson made Ye Xiaofei feel a bit embarrassed to scold her further. She said, “As long as you understand now, in the future, think carefully about your own situation before acting.”
Chu Tong immediately responded, “My skills are too weak; you’re really strong. You handled Su Zhenhai so effortlessly. Can you teach me kung fu?”
“Teach you kung fu?” Ye Xiaofei replied, still standing with her hands behind her back, adopting the appearance of a master. “Men and women should not get too close easily. If I teach you kung fu, it wouldn’t be appropriate.”
Chu Tong anxiously pleaded, “It’s okay! It’s okay! As long as I can learn true kung fu, I don’t mind that.”
Ye Xiaofei1 s face tensed, and she said, Humph, for the sake of your goals, you’re willing to disregard your own well-being? Or are you trying to use your body as a bargaining chip? By doing this, what sets you apart from those unscrupulous women?”
Chu Tong’s face turned pale instantly, and then she lowered her head in shame, saying, “I’m sorry, 1 have been neglecting self-respect.”
Ye Xiaofei turned around and said, “If fate allows, we will naturally meet again in the future.”
With that, she swiftly disappeared from Chu Tong’s sight, leaving an air of mystery behind.
Chu Tong didn’t chase after her. Instead, she first contacted the police station on her phone and then stripped Su Zhenhai of his clothes to tie up his arms and legs.
With everything done, her mind was filled with the image of that formidable expert and every word he had said.
In less than ten minutes, the reinforcements arrived.
When everyone saw that the person bound on the ground was the S-level fugitive, their jaws dropped in astonishment.
The deputy squad leader leading the team asked in shock, “Chu Tong, you captured him all by yourself?”
Chu Tong quickly replied, “No, I was just following him, but he overpowered me. Then, a mysterious expert arrived and directly injured Su Zhenhai.”
The deputy squad leader looked puzzled. “A mysterious expert?”
“Yes, he was incredibly strong. Su Zhenhai didn’t even last a minute against him. And he made it all look effortless. It’s a pity I forgot to get his contact information; 1 don’t know if I’ll be able to find him again,” Chu Tong explained.
The deputy squad leader frowned and said, “So powerful, when did Ning City have such a skilled person again?”
In the same jurisdiction to have someone the police couldn’t control was undoubtedly a great pressure for them.
Chu Tong was well aware of this, and she immediately said, “I don’t think we need to worry about this matter. The way that person acted indicates he’s someone with high moral principles. His presence adds a powerful force to protect society.”
After they took Su Zhenhai away, Chu Tong didn’t leave the scene. She was still hoping that the skilled expert would appear again. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, it wasn’t the skilled expert she waited for but a phone call from Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Xiaofei said, “1 have some free time now. Let’s meet up for a drink.”
“Alright! There’s a bar nearby. I’ll send you the location.”
Twenty minutes later, Ye Xiaofei and Chu Tong met inside the bar.
It was a serene bar, not too noisy. Soft saxophone music played in the hall, and the guests here drank quietly, occasionally exchanging a few hushed words.
They took a small private room and ordered some snacks and beers.
Ye Xiaofei squinted his eyes as he looked at Chu l ong, saying nothing. He wanted to see what Chu Tong was up to today.
Chu Tong took a big sip of beer and then met Ye Xiaofei’s gaze, saying, “Ye Xiaofei, 1 can’t be your lover anymore.”
Pretending to be oblivious, Ye Xiaofei furrowed his brow and replied, “Oh? You change your mind pretty quickly.”
Chu Tong took a deep breath and said, “1 think it s a very wrong thing to do. It s disrespectful to both you and me.”
Taking a sip of his drink, Ye Xiaofei responded, “If that’s the case, then you are being inconsistent. I was considering your proposal, but since you feel that way. I’ll let it go.”
Chu Tong became anxious, “Ye Xiaofei, you can’t do this. This is a significant matter, and even if 1 don’t agree, you should…”
Interrupting Chu long. Ye Xiaofei said, “You don’t need to lecture me with moral principles. I won’t agree to something without any benefits for me.”
Chu Tong exclaimed in anger, “You’re shameless.”
“Heh heh… don’t forget that it was your idea both times. 1 would have agreed if I had seen enough sincerity from you. Since you lack that now, why should I accept your offer? You should know what kind of person 1 am, right?”
Chu Tong’s face froze, unable to find the right words to respond.
Since she met Ye Xiaofei, she was well aware of his terrible character, shameless and despicable. But his medical skills were exceptionally brilliant, making him invaluable to the police force.
While eating and drinking, Ye Xiaofei observed Chu Tong struggling with her inner conflict. He wondered what decision she would make and how his aloof attitude had affected her.
Just then, Chu Tong’s phone rang.
She hurriedly answered the call, and the vice-captain’s voice came through the phone, “Chu Tong, Su Zhenhai has been kidnapped. Several colleagues are seriously injured. Please get Ye, the divine doctor, here quickly.”
“Alright! I’ll take him there immediately!” Chu Tong reached out and grabbed Ye Xiaofei’s arm, pulling him towards the door. “Now, I’m begging you, come with me to save them.”
Ye Xiaofei had also heard the conversation on the phone and couldn’t help but frown. He hadn’t expected Su Zhenhai to have accomplices; he had underestimated the situation.
It was the first time Ye Xiaofei encountered complications in his work since leaving the island.
Seeing Ye Xiaofei deep in thought, Chu Tong thought he was hesitant to help and said anxiously, “Divine Doctor Ye, I agree! I promise I won’t change my mind anymore. I, Chu Tong, will be your lover from now on, never to waver. If I go back on my word again, let lightning strike me down..”
