I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 71: Young Master, You Have Ghost Qi On You

In the following few days, nothing of significant interest happened in either the ancient or modern times.

Lu Zheng was either in ancient times learning medicine with Liu Qingyan, enjoying a bit of subtle romance, or in modern times accompanying Lin Wan for a stroll, having meals, watching movies, petting cats; doing what couples usually do when they first fall in love.

His practical experience in time management advanced rapidly, and his proficiency soared.

One day, Lin Wan got off work early and had dinner with Lu Zheng.

"What’s wrong?"

Lu Zheng noticed Lin Wan seemed a bit distracted.

"It’s nothing."

"Is it about the case?"

Lin Wan nodded, "The opponent is very cunning, not a single clue can be found."

Lu Zheng served Lin Wan a dish with his chopsticks, "Then take your time investigating."

Lin Wan reluctantly pushed around her rice, "But there are too many cases at hand. If no clues are found soon, the priority of this case will have to be lowered."

"Then just let it be," Lu Zheng advised, "I know you want to be a good cop, but even the best cops can’t have a hundred percent solve rate, right? I’ve heard that Lighthouse Country’s solve rate is not even half?"

Lin Wan snorted, "Can Lighthouse Country compare to us? That person spent too much time there, bringing back their bad habits to our country. If we don’t solve this case, it will only embolden them."

"Oh, so he’s a returnee?"

Lin Wan nodded.

"Can you tell me more?"

Lin Wan shook her head, "Sorry, there’s a rule in our team, case details cannot be disclosed."

"No problem, I understand."

Of course, Lu Zheng understood. When a case involved him, they would invite him to the city bureau’s interrogation room before the formal questioning began.

After dinner, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan walked hand in hand, strolling in the streets, enjoying the night breeze. Lin Wan’s mood improved.

"Lu Zheng."

"Hmm?"

"I’m free this weekend too and have booked a great Italian restaurant. Want to try it together this weekend?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Sure."

Lin Wan paused at this, immediately turning to Lu Zheng with a probing look.

"What’s up?"

"Did Xiumin tell you?"

Lu Zheng froze in an instant.

"Ha!" Lin Wan pouted, "She’s really meddlesome."

"Actually, I asked her myself," Lu Zheng hurriedly explained.

"Really?"

"Really!" Lu Zheng nodded quickly.

Lin Wan, delighted, wrapped her arms around Lu Zheng’s, rewarding him with a sweet kiss.

"You were thoughtful, thank you!"

"Isn’t this what I should do?"

...

Lu Zheng wasn’t lying.

After confirming their relationship, Lu Zheng quietly inquired some information about Lin Wan from Huang Xiumin, like her hobbies and birthday.

So, when Lin Wan mentioned her reservation for Italian food next week, Lu Zheng wasn’t surprised at all, because he knew it was Lin Wan’s birthday that day.

However, Lu Zheng’s completely unsurprised expression exposed that he knew about Lin Wan’s birthday.

You see, Lin Wan had never actively mentioned her birthday to Lu Zheng.

"You indeed deserve to be a detective, not missing any small clues."

"Are you complimenting me or mocking me?" Lin Wan retorted in exasperation, "When have I ever booked a foreign restaurant myself? You didn’t even ask, clearly, you knew already."

"Of course, I’m praising you. You see, I’m a terrible actor." Lu Zheng laughed.

"Indeed not a good actor, I still remember that time at your house, you accidentally shoved Liu Leng against the wall, and then got scared to death yourself." Lin Wan said laughingly.

"Mortified on the spot!" Lu Zheng sighed.

"It was Liu Leng who was mortified on the spot, okay? Captain Liang always teases him about it; now everyone in the team knows."

Lu Zheng shrugged, responding without guilt, "It wasn’t my fault."

"Of course, it’s not your fault," Lin Wan stated matter-of-factly.

Liu Leng: I’m crying in the bathroom!

And so, the not-so-acting Lu Zheng escorted Lin Wan home, kissed goodbye, and parted ways.

Before leaving, Lin Wan poked Lu Zheng’s chest, "Take good rest these days, there’s a surprise for you on the weekend!"

Lu Zheng’s eyes lit up, and Lin Wan winked at him before heading upstairs with a giggle.

...

The next day, Lu Zheng went to the Liu family again for a whole day, finally completing the studies of the "Internal Viscera Theory" and "Hundred Acupoints Atlas".

The next were the Liu family’s medical book, "Qingtian Scripture", as well as various case studies, medication, and acupuncture techniques. freewebnøvel_com

Compared to the previous theoretical foundation and paper talks, the upcoming medical skills involved clinical application.

So Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan went to Renxin Hall together.

"Huh?"

As he entered Renxin Hall, Lu Zheng noticed a familiar figure busy around, sometimes helping carry patients, sometimes decocting medicine, and sometimes greeting arrivals and seeing them off.

"Hu Zhou?"

"Greetings, Hero Lu!"

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "Please don’t call me Hero, I’m not worthy of that title."

Then he turned to Liu Qingyan, "What’s going on?"

Liu Qingyan smiled with a mix of helplessness and relief, "Since the Qixi Festival, he’s been coming every afternoon to help out and won’t leave even if I try to send him away, and he won’t take any money."

Lu Zheng looked at Hu Zhou, "Aren’t you earning money? What about your mother’s illness?"

"I’m earning!" Hu Zhou patted his chest, "But my strength allows me to earn in one morning what others earn in a day!"

Hu Zhou chuckled, "Not only can I buy something nice for my mother, but I can also save some money for medicine."

Elder Liu saw a guest off and turned back, "These are just some ordinary herbs, your work here at the shop can pay for them."

"No, no, I must pay!"

Hu Zhou scratched his head anxiously, "I’m not working here to earn money, my mother said this is a lifesaving grace, it can’t be repaid enough!"

Lu Zheng jokingly asked, "What do you think?"

"I think so too!" Hu Zhou nodded vigorously, fearing disbelief from Lu Zheng, and reiterated strongly, "Honestly!"

Seeing he was almost teased to death, Lu Zheng nodded, "Okay, I believe you."

Then Hu Zhou grinned widely.

"Bubble bubble!"

The medicine was ready, and Hu Zhou quickly removed the stew pot and began pouring the medicine.

...

While Hu Zhou was bustling around, Lu Zheng followed Liu Qingyan to the medicine cabinet, assisting with dispensing medication and weighing them for the patients while recognizing the herbs.

"This is licorice, it boosts the spleen and lungs."

"This is danggui, it nourishes blood and generates fluid."

...

Lu Zheng spent the whole day at Renxin Hall, and even with his current energy levels, he only remembered the properties of a dozen herbs, as there were just too many combinations of herbal uses.

Late afternoon, Hu Zhou took his leave and dashed off.

Elder Liu was still tidying up the shop, while Liu Qingyan and Lu Zheng left together, with Liu Qingyan explaining the two cases they had just encountered along the way.

However, just as they reached the entrance of Tongyi Lane, they were stopped by a shadowy figure.

"Young Master!"

A hoarse voice sounded in Lu Zheng’s ear, "Have you encountered anything recently? There’s Ghost Qi on you!"
