On How To Defeat Dr. Qing Leng Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Walking Side by Side

Enough questions.

Wen Yelan seemed to be hanging in the air, waiting for the answer, a crucial answer related to their future relationship.

Pei Yan didn’t answer immediately.He still held Wen Yelan tightly and buried his face on his shoulder.Wen Yelan didn’t rush him, she just patted his back again and again and waited patiently.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Pei Yan moved.He slowly raised his head. His eyes were still red, the tip of his nose was also red, and there were still tears on his face. He didn’t look pretty at all.But his eyes became clear and firm.

He looked at Wen Yelan, at this thin but powerful lover, and moved his mouth, biting each word hard, using all his strength to promise:

“Together.”

He repeated it and hugged Wen Yelan tighter, as if he wanted to carve these two words into each other’s flesh and blood.

“Ye Lan, together. I choose to be together. Next time, next time, every time from now on… I will choose to be together. I forgot… I forgot how powerful you are, and I forgot that you are actually much stronger than I thought… and… you are also needed and needed more than me.”

He spoke intermittently, and his thoughts gradually became clear: “Those things… are quite annoying and stressful. The Bai family was not evacuated cleanly, leaving a lot of mess. Some partners took the opportunity to raise conditions, and there were different voices in the company… I did… I haven’t had a full sleep for several days, and my head hurts from time to time. I smoked… a bit fiercely.”

He began to try, as Wen Yelan wanted, to talk about the troubles and negative emotions that he had originally planned to keep in his stomach.Although it was a stumbling start, it was already a huge breakthrough.

“I always want to deal with it quickly, so that you can be safe and sound, and don’t get involved… But I forgot that on Mount Everest, the first person to come to rescue us after the avalanche was none other than you.” Pei Yan sniffed, his voice muffled, “Why do I think… you can’t handle it?You’re right, support each other… I shouldn’t deprive you of this right.I’ll tell you when I’m tired, and I’ll complain to you when I’m tired.Maybe it’s not nice for me to complain… ”

He said it with a bit of embarrassment in his tone at the end.It is not easy for a person like him, who is accustomed to controlling everything and taking responsibility, to expose his vulnerability.

Wen Yelan listened quietly without interrupting.Until Pei Yan finished speaking, he looked at him eagerly, waiting for his reaction.Wen Yelan sighed, relieved, but more distressed.

“I won’t dislike you.” Wen Yelan kissed his eyes and said, “Whether it’s complaining, grumbling, or scolding… I want to hear it. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t sound good.” He paused and added, “It’s better than saying nothing and letting me guess.”

Pei Yan nodded heavily.”Yeah!”

The two hugged each other beside the bed for a long time, until each other’s emotions gradually calmed down and the stiffness in their bodies also relaxed.The darkness of night enveloped them.

“Tired.” Wen Yelan blinked.This emotional confrontation consumed too much of his energy.

“Sleep.” Pei Yan said immediately, but he felt much more relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.He let go of his embrace, but still held Wen Yelan’s hand, and they slowly moved to the bed together.

Pei Yan habitually wanted to pull Wen Yelan into his arms, but Wen Yelan held his hand down.”Go wash your face first.” He looked at Pei Yan’s crying face and red and swollen eyes, “I feel uncomfortable.”

Pei Yan then realized that his face was tense and a little embarrassed, so he got up obediently and went to the bathroom.Warm water splashed on his face, and he looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes and a look of embarrassment, and suddenly felt that this might not be a bad thing.At least, in front of Ye Lan, he doesn’t have to be perfect forever, but always strong.

When he came back after packing, Wen Yelan was already lying on his side, with his back to his side, as if he was asleep.Pei Yan quietly got on the bed, leaned over from behind, carefully wrapped his arms around Wen Yelan’s waist, buried his face in the back of his neck, and took a deep breath. The smell belonged to Wen Yelan, it was fragrant and soothing.

He thought Wen Yelan had fallen asleep and closed his eyes, but he heard the person in his arms speak softly, his voice a little blurry due to sleepiness.

“Tomorrow morning, let Auntie make some millet porridge. Don’t drink coffee on an empty stomach.”

Pei Yan’s nose felt sour, he tightened his arms and let out a low “hmm”.

After a while, Wen Yelan muttered again, his voice was even softer and almost inaudible: “… about the newly opened cake shop, wait until you are not so busy.”

Pei Yan’s heart felt warm and swollen.

“Okay.”

Wen Yelan said “hmm” softly, then stopped talking, and his breathing gradually became even.

But Pei Yan didn’t fall asleep for a long time.He held Wen Yelan in his arms and replayed everything that happened tonight in his mind.Three questions.He later felt a sense of fear. If Yelan hadn’t pierced the window paper so calmly and sensitively tonight, would they have built a high wall again, or even made the same mistake again?

fortunately.

He thought how lucky he was to meet Wen Yelan, and the person he would spend the rest of his life with was also Wen Yelan.

Pei Yan woke up earlier than usual the next day.The person in his arms was still sleeping deeply, and his breathing was gentle on his chest.The crying scene last night allowed me to let out all the accumulated fatigue and emotions. Although my eyes were still a little bitter, my mind was much clearer.

He gently pulled out his arm and stood up to wash up.As soon as I changed my clothes, the phone on the bedside table vibrated, and the screen lit up, showing the assistant’s number.

Pei Yan quickly walked to the living room with his cell phone before answering it.

“Mr. Pei, we found it.” The assistant’s voice came from the receiver, speaking very quickly, “Fan Qingzhi, and Bai Yu. In a warehouse in the west of the city, there is a shell company under Bai Yu’s name. Our people have been watching all night to make sure that everyone is inside and there is no one else.”

“Status?”

“Fan Qingzhi doesn’t look… well. Bai Yu is alone, without any other people, and seems to be waiting for us.” The assistant hesitated, “Mr. Pei, what should we do now?”

Pei Yan was silent for a few seconds.

The curtains in the living room were not tightly drawn, and a ray of early morning light filtered in and shone on the floor.

“I know.” Pei Yan said, “Keep an eye on it, don’t alert others. Wait for my notification.”

After hanging up the phone, he walked back to the bedroom.

Wen Yelan had woken up and was sitting up, rubbing his eyes with his hands, and a few strands of his hair were raised from sleep.Seeing Pei Yan come in, he put down his hand, his eyes still a little confused: “Whose call? It’s so early.”

“Assistant.” Pei Yan sat down by the bed and looked into his eyes, “Fan Qingzhi has been found. Bai Yu is also there.”

Wen Yelan stopped rubbing his eyes.The sleepiness instantly faded from his face.

Pei Yan didn’t wait for him to ask, and simply repeated the assistant’s words, including the location, the status of the two people, and the sentence that sounded like they were waiting for someone.

“My people have surrounded me and can go in at any time. What do you think?” He asked directly, “Do you want to wait for me to handle the situation more cleanly and control the people, or… go now?”

He put the choice, along with risks and responsibilities, in front of Wen Yelan.

It took about half a minute, maybe less.Wen Yelan raised his head and looked directly into his eyes.

“Go directly.” He said, his voice low and without any hesitation, “Now.”

Pei Yan nodded, as if he had expected this choice.”Okay. I’ll arrange the car.”

“Wait.” Wen Yelan stopped him, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stepping barefoot on the floor, “I’m asking for leave.”

He walked to the living room, picked up his cell phone, unlocked it, and dialed the number.Pei Yan followed him out and leaned against the bedroom door frame to look at him.

The call was answered quickly.It was over in less than a minute.Wen Yelan put down the phone and looked at Pei Yan: “You can go.”

Pei Yan looked at him standing there wearing only his pajamas, his toes slightly curled up due to the coolness of the floor, and his heart felt soft and a little sore.”Go and change clothes, wear something thicker.” He paused, “Don’t wear something nice.”

Wen Yelan laughed.

Twenty minutes later, the two got into the car.The driver drove, and Pei Yan and Wen Yelan sat side by side in the back seat.Pei Yan held his cell phone and confirmed the final arrangements with the person on the other end in a low voice.

“…Leave two groups of people outside to make sure there are no other responders. The people inside are waiting for my signal. They are not allowed to touch Bai Yu without my order.” Pei Yan’s voice was cold and hard. “The key point is to keep an eye on Fan Qingzhi. Don’t let her get into trouble, but don’t let her run around and scream. Do you understand? Also, be clean and don’t get smelly.”

The other end of the phone answered.

Pei Yan hung up, threw the phone aside, and turned to look at Wen Yelan. Wen Yelan was wearing a tight sweater, hat, and scarf. Before going out, Pei Yan said bitterly that he would not let anyone named Bai see more.

“Are you afraid?” Pei Yan asked, reaching out and covering the back of his hand holding the cup.

Wen Yelan turned her head, glanced at him, and shook her head.”I’m not afraid.” He paused and then said, “I just think… there should be an end.”

Pei Yan squeezed his hand.”Yeah.”

The car left the city and headed towards the west of the city.The surrounding buildings gradually became low and old, and finally turned into a factory area that seemed to have ceased production long ago.The roads were potholed and the air smelled of rust and dust.

The car stopped at a walled corner. Not far ahead was a dusty single-story warehouse. The door was closed and the windows were broken. It looked abandoned for a long time.

The assistant whispered: “Mr. Pei, we’re here. Our people are watching inside. Bai Yu and Fan Qingzhi are in the innermost cubicle of the warehouse.”

The two got out of the car.The cold air hit his face, causing Wen Yelan to shrink his shoulders.Pei Yan immediately took off his windbreaker and put it on him.”Dress.”

Wen Yelan did not refuse and tightened his clothes.

Several lean men came closer. The leader nodded towards Pei Yan and reported a few words in a low voice.After hearing this, Pei Yan said to Wen Yelan: “The person is inside. Fan Qingzhi is locked in the inner room, and Bai Yu is sitting in the outer room.”

Wen Yelan nodded.

The warehouse door was ajar, and it made a harsh creaking sound when it was pushed open.The space inside is very large, with some abandoned machines and debris piled up. The light is dim, and the smell of dust in the air is even stronger.The ground was covered with thick dust, and a few lines of fresh footprints could be seen, extending all the way to the door of a small room separated by wooden boards in the innermost part.

Two people were guarding the door. When they saw Pei Yan approaching, they gave way.

Pei Yan held Wen Yelan’s hand, led him, and walked toward the door step by step.Footsteps echoed in the empty warehouse.

When he reached the door, Pei Yan stopped.

“Why don’t you come in?” Bai Yu’s voice came from inside, as if he had expected them to come.

Pei Yan opened the door.

The cubicle was small, with only a high transom window letting in some light.There was an old table and two chairs inside.Bai Yu was sitting on one of the chairs, wearing a simple light-colored shirt and trousers, with an upright posture, no expression on his face, and he looked thinner.His eyes fell on the hands held by the two of them, stayed for a moment, and then moved away.

And in the further corner of the room, curled up on the ground with his hands and feet tied with ropes, was none other than Fan Qingzhi.

Her hair was disheveled, her face was stained, and her clothes were barely covering her body. She raised her head suddenly when she heard the movement, her eyes full of fear and resentment. The moment she saw Wen Yelan, the resentment almost burst out, but was suppressed by greater fear.

She trembled and wanted to retreat, but there was nowhere to retreat.

Bai Yu spoke first, with an eerily calm tone: “Xiaolan, sit down.” He pointed to the empty chair opposite.
