On How To Defeat Dr. Qing Leng Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Chapter 62 The light of the sword and the shadow of the sword

When the plane landed, it was already late at night in Beijing.

Wen Yelan looked out the window at the familiar street scene that was rapidly retreating, feeling a sense of trance and unreality.The vastness and silence of the grassland were suddenly taken away and stuffed back into the corner of memory.

The car drove into the familiar underground parking lot and stopped.Pei Yan hung up the last call, rubbed his eyebrows, and turned to look at Wen Yelan: “We’re here.”

The elevator goes up and the numbers jump.Wen Yelan stared at the beating numbers, and the eagerness to return home reached its peak the moment the door opened.

The sensor light in the entrance hall lights up, and a warm yellow halo spreads.The house was clean and tidy, just as he had left it.

Wen Yelan walked straight in without changing her shoes.On the sofa, the big brown bear was sitting innocently in the corner.

He walked over in a few steps, threw himself on the sofa, buried his face in the big bear’s soft and fluffy belly, rubbed it hard, and wrapped his arms around the bear’s chubby body.

Behind him, there was the sound of Pei Yan changing his shoes and putting away his luggage, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching.

“Looking for it as soon as you come back?” Pei Yan’s voice sounded above his head, with a smile.

Wen Yelan said “hmm” without looking up.

Pei Yan looked at him curled up on the sofa and hugged the bear and curled his lips, thinking about when he would have to let Wen Yelan hug him like this.

“Would you like something to eat?” He walked back to the living room, took off his coat and put it on the back of the sofa, “You didn’t do much with the simple meal on the plane.” He remembered that Wen Yelan only ate half of the salad and drank a few mouthfuls of soup.

Wen Yelan was still hugging the bear and turned to look at him: “Didn’t you eat wontons in the airport VIP room?” What he was talking about was that before boarding the plane, Pei Yan took him to eat something warm.He finished a small bowl of chicken soup wontons.

“That was a few hours ago.” Pei Yan glanced at his watch, “It’s almost one o’clock in the morning now. Is your stomach empty?”

“Not empty.” Wen Yelan shook his head, sinking into the soft sofa and the bear’s embrace, not wanting to move, “I’m tired.”

Pei Yan came over and sat down on the sofa: “Are you really not hungry? There is some food in the kitchen. It will be quick.”

“I don’t want to eat.” Wen Yelan closed his eyes, his voice full of tiredness, “I want to take a bath and sleep.”

“Okay.” Pei Yan didn’t insist anymore, “Go and wash it, I’ll get you pajamas.”

Wen Yelan let go of Xiong and sat up slowly.Pei Yan had already gotten up and went to the bedroom.He walked to the bathroom door and heard the sound of Pei Yan adjusting the water temperature inside.

“Here.” Pei Yan handed him the pajamas, “The bath towel is inside.”

Wen Yelan took it and walked into the bathroom.When the hot water comes down, there is an indescribable feeling of comfort.He looked at the fogged mirror and drew a small smiley face on it.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Wen Yelan wiped her hair and walked out. She saw Pei Yan still leaning on the bed and frowned slightly.

“Not finished yet?” Wen Yelan walked over and sat down by the bed.

“Right away.” Pei Yan pressed down the screen, threw the phone on the bedside table, reached out to grab the person over, “I didn’t even dry my hair.”

“Wipe it off.” Wen Yelan let him hold her in his arms and pressed her face against the front of his pajamas. She could smell the faint scent of shower gel, which was the same as the one on her body.

Pei Yan took the towel and wiped it on his head carefully: “Perfunctory.”

Wen Yelan said nothing, and waited until he threw the towel away before raising his head: “Can you find Fan Qingzhi?”

Pei Yan’s hand paused for a moment, then fell back to his back, and followed it step by step: “Yes.”

“No matter how rampant Bai Yu is abroad, he would not dare to directly kill people at home.”

Wen Yelan was silent for a while and said, “If I find her, I want to meet her.”

Pei Yan didn’t answer immediately.There was only the faint sound of the air conditioner running in the room.Wen Yelan could feel the rise and fall of his chest.

“Okay.” Pei Yan finally said, his voice was calm, “I will arrange it.”

He didn’t ask why.Wen Yelan knew he would agree, but she never thought he would agree so simply, without even a “why”.

His unconditional support.

“Do you still want to see Bai Yu?” Pei Yan asked again, his voice lowered, “Once I take action, the Bai family may immediately abandon the domestic market and withdraw abroad. It will be difficult to find him again then.”

Wen Yelan closed his eyes.Bai Yu’s face flashed in his mind.

More than twenty years have passed frame by frame like a faded film.The person who would fold plum blossoms for him and say “Brother Yu will always be here” and the current Bai Yu who plotted in the dark and controlled people’s hearts gradually overlapped and then separated.

“I don’t want to see you anymore.” Wen Yelan heard herself say, her voice was very soft but clear, “It’s not necessary.”

Pei Yan fell silent.He hugged Wen Yelan tightly, resting his chin on the top of his hair, and didn’t speak for a long time.

“Everything will be fine in the future. Go to sleep.” Finally, Pei Yan said and turned off the bedside lamp.

Darkness instantly flooded the room.Wen Yelan was wrapped in his arms, her back pressed against his warm chest, and her consciousness gradually sank.

…

The institute was still counting his field work these days, so Wen Yelan didn’t need to go back to work immediately, so he simply rested at home for a few days.

Although I say I am resting, I am not completely idle.He compiled a small number of samples and data brought back from the grassland, wrote a simple report and sent it to Senior Brother Zhou, and sorted out the backlog of emails and documents.Overall it’s pretty easy

But Pei Yan was visibly busy.

The first two days were fine. Pei Yan still tried his best to work from home. The study door was closed for most of the day and he would only come out to eat and at night.

But even when he was eating, his cell phone kept vibrating next to him.

In the past few days, the meals at home were cooked by her aunt. Wen Yelan tasted nothing of the food and occasionally raised her eyes to look at the other side.The lines on Pei Yan’s face were tense all the time. When he saw Wen Yelan looking at him, he relaxed slightly and put a chopstick into his bowl: “Eat more, Auntie made good ribs today.”

On the third day, Pei Yan had to go to the company.He got up very early in the morning and moved very lightly, but Wen Yelan still woke up.

I vaguely felt the people around me getting up, then the faint sound of water in the bathroom, and the rustling in the cloakroom.Wen Yelan turned over and buried his face in the pillow without opening his eyes.

After a while, the edge of the bed sank slightly, and a mint-smelling kiss fell on his forehead.

“Did I wake you up?” Pei Yan’s voice sounded softly in his ears.

Wen Yelan shook his head and opened his eyes a little.Pei Yan was already dressed neatly, with a dark gray suit and no tie. The collar of his shirt was loose, and he couldn’t hide the tiredness in his eyes.

“You can sleep a little longer.” Pei Yan tucked the quilt for him. “Auntie will come over at nine o’clock. Send her a message in advance or tell me what you want to eat. I will try to come back as early as possible in the evening.”

“Yeah.” Wen Yelan responded.

Pei Yan looked at him for a few more seconds before getting up and leaving.The bedroom door was gently closed.

That night, Pei Yan came back not too late, around eight o’clock.Wen Yelan was sitting on the sofa reading a paper with his notebook in his arms, and raised his head when he heard the door open.Pei Yan was changing his shoes while talking on the phone. He frowned and said in an irritated tone: “…I have drawn the bottom line very clearly, and they still want to bargain? Tell them that they will either agree to my terms or not negotiate. I will see the final plan tomorrow morning.”

He hung up the phone and loosened his collar. Then he looked at Wen Yelan and relaxed a little: “Have you eaten?”

“Eat.” Wen Yelan closed the computer, “Auntie made the fish and kept it for you.”

Pei Yan nodded, but did not go to the restaurant immediately. He sat down next to Wen Yelan, leaned his whole body into the sofa, closed his eyes, and took a long breath.

Wen Yelan felt a little sorry for him like this, “Is it very troublesome?”

Pei Yan hugged him over without opening his eyes: “Fortunately, there’s just a lot of wrangling. Bai Yu’s side shrinks quickly, but the mess left behind is not small, and it takes a lot of effort to deal with.” He paused, opened his eyes, and looked sideways at Wen Yelan, “Are you scared?”

“No.” Wen Yelan hugged him back, “I just see you are tired.”

Pei Yan smiled and buried his head on Wen Yelan, “I feel less tired when I see you.”

Wen Yelan didn’t answer and let him lean on her.After a few minutes, Pei Yan stood up and said, “I’m going to heat up the food. You take care of yours first.”

The next few days went like this.Pei Yan would go out early and come back late, sometimes coming back late at night, smelling of cigarette smoke and the coolness of the night.

Wen Yelan was already asleep, but there was always a bedside lamp left for him.After Pei Yan went to bed after washing, he would hold him in his arms from behind. Wen Yelan would nuzzle him while half asleep, and then the two of them fell into a deep sleep.

Another week passed, and Wen Yelan began to slowly resume the rhythm of going to the institute.He missed Pei Yan and no longer spent all his time in the office and went home after get off work as before.After Ling Yue came back, she asked him secretly: “Captain Wen, you are now a model of punctuality. It’s different when there are people waiting at home!”

Wen Yelan smiled lightly and did not deny it.

Auntie still cooks lunch and dinner on time every day. She is very good at cooking and cooks Wen Yelan’s favorite dishes in various ways.It’s just that Wen Yelan eats less and less.

Sometimes Pei Yan would get annoyed by the noise on the phone, so he would just turn off the phone and then apologetically serve Wen Yelan some food.

Wen Yelan said nothing, lowered his head and continued eating, but his heart was heavy.

He is not an ignorant person and knows that the things Pei Yan is dealing with now must be difficult and important.Those calls and messages that keep coming in are proof of that.In order to eat with him, Pei Yan turned off his phone… This action itself made Wen Yelan feel uneasy.

He is not a porcelain doll who needs someone to accompany him all the time.He was more worried about Pei Yan.

After the meal, Pei Yan went to the study to deal with things. Wen Yelan took a bath, sat on the bed and checked his cell phone for a while.He usually doesn’t pay much attention to financial news. After thinking about it, he opened a commonly used news APP with a swipe of his finger and entered “Pei’s Group” in the search box.

The page refreshed, and a series of related reports popped up.Each title is more eye-catching than the last:

“Business War Escalates!”It is said that the young master of the Pei family used thunderous means to clear the cooperation plate”

“The Bai family’s overseas business is suspected to have suffered setbacks, and its domestic position has shrunk in an all-round way”

…

Wen Yelan clicked on one of the articles, which described in detail the recent violent turmoil in the Bai family’s cooperation projects in many domestic fields.

The Pei family took a tough stance, demanding renegotiation and directly terminating the relevant cooperation. The Bai family was unable to respond and retreated steadily. It is predicted that the Bai family may be forced to completely withdraw from the domestic market.

Wen Yelan read each article, and the more he read, the more his heart sank.The words are cold, but the swordsmanship and pressure behind them seem to shine through the screen.

Everyone knew that Pei Yan was serious this time, and his methods were fast and ruthless, leaving no room for error.
