Chapter 80 I Can Cure This Disease!
Zhao Ge knew what Li Xiaoyao meant, and Li Xiaoyao also knew that Zhao Ge must be considering the matter.
At that moment, Li Xiaoyao's phone rang; it was Zhu Xiaoyue calling.
Zhu Xiaoyue asked directly, "Where are you?"
Li Xiaoyao replied, "Just now at the restaurant on the third floor of that mall."
"Wait there for me."
Li Xiaoyao looked at his phone, thinking to himself, what's wrong with this woman now?
Before long, Tang Tiantian came back, holding an envelope that was bulging and thick.
Tang Tiantian handed the envelope to Li Xiaoyao, who put it on the table, slid it over to Zhao Ge, and said, "Here's twenty thousand yuan, take it."
Zhao Ge wanted to refuse, but Li Xiaoyao said, "Let's keep separate things separate; this is what I promised you."
After hearing this, Zhao Ge nodded, tucking the envelope into his pocket.
Li Xiaoyao then said to Tang Tiantian, "I have something else to do in a bit; you go on with your work. I'll call you when I'm done."
Tang Tiantian hummed in acknowledgment and said, "You go about your business, don't worry about me. I'm planning to visit a charity organization this afternoon to learn from their experience."
Knowing Li Xiaoyao would be busy later, Zhao Ge got up and said, "I'll head out first, call me if you need anything."
Zhao Ge and Tang Tiantian left one after the other, while Li Xiaoyao called the waiter over to clear away the leftovers from the table and then ordered a cup of coffee.
Zhu Xiaoyue drove her BMW out of the police station and made her way to the mall.
Because she was in a hurry, Tang Tiantian didn't even have time to change out of her police uniform.
Wearing an ill-fitting police uniform, Tang Tiantian walked through the mall, attracting countless men's gazes.
Especially when the passersby saw Tang Tiantian in her police uniform, they couldn't help but drool.
"Is this playing at uniform seduction?"
"Damn, this woman is Top Grade!"
Unaware of the situation, some thought Zhu Xiaoyue was engaging in uniform seduction. A clueless man approached her, intending to flirt, but Zhu Xiaoyue immediately drew her gun and pressed it against his forehead, saying coldly, "Scram!"
Okay, so she is a real cop!
Zhu Xiaoyue had drawn her gun outside the restaurant, and just so happened that Li Xiaoyao was inside, drinking coffee. Seeing this scene, he immediately spat out all his coffee.
Several black lines appeared on Li Xiaoyao's forehead, thinking to himself, when would Zhu Xiaoyue ever change her habit of drawing her gun so impulsively?
Zhu Xiaoyue put away her handgun, and after that, no one on the street dared to approach her again.
Zhu Xiaoyue walked into the restaurant, looked around, and Li Xiaoyao helplessly waved at her, saying, "Over here."
Zhu Xiaoyue walked over, didn't sit down, and instead said directly, "Come with me."
Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and asked, "Where to?"
Zhu Xiaoyue replied, "To Officer Zhang's house. I have already called Officer Zhang, and he's waiting for us at home."
Li Xiaoyao suddenly realized, smacked his forehead, and said, "I almost forgot about that, let's go, we're heading over now."
Officer Zhang's wife had contracted a strange disease, and Li Xiaoyao had promised to take a look at her, but the promise had been delayed for some time. Despite several reminders from Zhu Xiaoyue during this period, Li Xiaoyao still forgot about it.
If it weren't for Zhu Xiaoyue coming to him directly today, Li Xiaoyao wouldn't know when he would have remembered.
There was no help for it; he was a busy man with a lot on his mind.
Now that he remembered, Li Xiaoyao was certainly going to go. Whether he could cure the illness or not, the least he could do was pay a visit.
Officer Zhang is also the captain of the police force, and fostering a good relationship with him only brings benefits, not drawbacks.
The two walked downstairs, and Li Xiaoyao got into Zhu Xiaoyue's BMW. Zhu Xiaoyue drove extremely fast, nearly scaring Li Xiaoyao out of his wits.
Officer Zhang's home was in a very old neighborhood. Zhu Xiaoyue parked the car by one of the apartment buildings and said, "We're here."
Li Xiaoyao reached to push the car door open when Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly called out to him, "Li Xiaoyao."
"What's up?" Li Xiaoyao turned his head to look at her.
Zhu Xiaoyue's face was serious, and her voice carried a hint of pleading, "Please, you must cure my sister-in-law."
This was the first time Li Xiaoyao had seen Zhu Xiaoyue like this. She was gentle, she was kind, and all the inherent violence in her seemed to have vanished at that moment.
Lix Xiaoyao had intended to crack a few jokes with her, but seeing her expression, he shelved the idea of making light of the situation. He nodded solemnly and said, "I will do my best."
"Mhm," Zhu Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiaoyao gratefully and nodded firmly.
They both got out of the car and headed towards Officer Zhang's home.
Officer Zhang had already received a call from Zhu Xiaoyue earlier. She had told him she would come over with Li Xiaoyao today and that they would also take a look at his sister-in-law.
After hanging up the phone, Officer Zhang was extremely excited.
His wife had taken a bullet for him during a bank robbery a year ago.
Since then, his wife had been in a coma and had not woken up.
Officer Zhang had nearly bankrupted himself, spending all his savings, but in the end, he could not cure his wife.
The doctors said she was brain dead, beyond hope.
Yet Officer Zhang was not willing to just abandon his wife. Whenever he had the chance, he would seek the most renowned doctors from all places, asking them to help treat her. But all the doctors said there was no cure.
He had thought his wife would remain in a coma, but then, at the hotel bar last time, he saw Li Xiaoyao cure a man with a strange illness, and hope suddenly stirred in his heart again.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Hearing the knock on the door, Officer Zhang quickly stood up from the bed and hurried to open it.
"Big Brother Zhang," Zhu Xiaoyue stood at the door, smiling broadly.
Seeing the two of them, Officer Zhang forced a smile onto his face and said, "Come in, come in."
They walked into the house, and Li Xiaoyao said, "Sorry for the inconvenience, Officer Zhang; I've been a bit busy recently."
Officer Zhang said with a laugh, "As long as you could come, that's enough. Even if you can't cure her, I appreciate your effort."
Li Xiaoyao nodded silently. Officer Zhang hadn't said anything about absolutely having to cure someone; had he done so, Li Xiaoyao would have just walked away.
Officer Zhang got them beverages and fruit, but Li Xiaoyao said, "Don't bother, just take me straight to see my sister-in-law."
Hearing Li Xiaoyao say this, Officer Zhang showed a hint of excitement and responded, "Alright, follow me."
The two followed Officer Zhang into the room, which wasn't large, but very tidy and clean, clearly well-kept by Officer Zhang.
As soon as Li Xiaoyao entered the room, he released his mental perception, enveloping the woman on the bed, inch by inch checking her body.
"How beautiful!" Li Xiaoyao inwardly exclaimed. The woman appeared to be only in her mid-twenties, and even though she had been lying in bed for a year, her figure had not lost its shape.
Li Xiaoyao sat down beside the bed, his right hand's two fingers gently resting on the woman's wrist. He closed his eyes, pretending to take her pulse when in fact, he was feeling her body's condition.
Officer Zhang and Zhu Xiaoyue stood by, watching him intently with nervous expressions.
A few seconds later, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and declared, "I can cure this illness."
