Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Licking Blood from the Edge of a Knife

"Old Zhu, you finally woke up, you really scared me to death!"

Looking at Zhu Defu waking up in the hospital bed, Zhang Caini could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It’s just a small matter, I just forgot to bring my medicine this time."

Still somewhat weak, Zhu Defu waved his hand dismissively.

"It’s no small matter, the doctor said that if you were even a little later, it could have been really serious. Don’t do such thrilling things anymore. If it weren’t for running into Xiao Lin, I really wouldn’t know what to do."

Zhang Caini punched Zhu Defu gently on the shoulder; this old guy in his fifties liked to dabble in all sorts of novel things.

"He didn’t recognize me, did he?"

Zhu Defu, half-conscious, hadn’t seen Lin Fan’s face and was now only worried about his identity being leaked.

"He’s a secretary from your secretariat, how could he not recognize you? But he didn’t say anything from beginning to end."

Zhang Caini picked up an orange, peeled it, and handed it to Zhu Defu.

"From the secretariat, that’s bad!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Defu said with a serious face, "There’s not even a shadow in that godforsaken place, how could he show up there? It’s possible this guy was secretly following us, maybe trying to take pictures to threaten me, and this time he damn well walked right into our sights. I don’t know what evidence this kid might have left behind."

"Surely not, he said he was just there fishing and happened to hear my call for help, so he came over to check."

Zhang Caini blinked her eyes; she didn’t understand the intricacies involved.

"Old Hou was only taken away by the Commission for Discipline Inspection this morning, and I encountered him tonight. How could such a coincidence happen in this world? There’s definitely something going on."

Zhu Defu frowned and said, "Call him now and ask what he’s doing."

"Alright."
