Special Forces Medic-Chapter 697 - 665: Believe It or Not

"Didn't you say the dog is here when you are?" Xiao Lin snorted coldly. "It starts when the Five are gathered."

Guo Guo sat in her room, fiddling with the freshly cleaned dog with one hand, while widening her eyes. She didn't quite understand Xiao Lin's words; many could be considered blows. She had difficulty putting into words her emotions at the moment, so all she could do was keep rubbing the dog's fur to try to calm her trembling heart.

Xiao Lin watched her face from beginning to end, searching for clues, but he didn't notice any change in her expression.

"I think you might have made a mistake. How could my grandfather be a fugitive?" It took Guo Guo a long time to ask. She still couldn't believe that the person she had lived with for over ten years could be a criminal, especially one with a history of murder. "My grandfather's surname isn't Hong."

"This is a photo of your grandfather from the newspaper back then. Look carefully—isn't he very similar to the person who found you then?"

Guo Guo held the old newspaper; the face was blurry though the shape was somewhat similar. "Why would Grandpa kill someone? Did you find me just to take Grandpa back to prison?"

"Your grandfather has a valuable item that many criminals want, which symbolizes power."

"So when you came to buy medicine from me, you already planned to do something to us, right?" Guo Guo suddenly scorned and glared at Xiao Lin. This person seemed like a gentleman, yet he could deceive without a conscience. She had even wanted to make him her boyfriend then!

"That was another matter. At the time, I didn't know you had a grandfather. He is Hong Lian."

"You don't look like the type who hires prostitutes. When the Second Boss came, I knew you weren't."

"Indeed, my purpose for going to the North District was to find Hong Lian. I accidentally entered your hardware store and learned about the sale of forbidden drugs."

"Not accidentally, right!" Regarding Guo Guo's words, Xiao Lin smiled but didn't argue. He would pay attention to a hardware store. "I don't know where the Second Boss is now. I haven't been to the hardware store since." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"I know, the Second Boss is dead!"

"What? Dead?" Guo Guo's high-pitched voice echoed in the room, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh! I'm fine, just a bit scared to think about the person I've been dealing with just dying like that." Guo Guo hugged the dog, though it was bathed, it still carried a smell.

"First Ah San died, then Xiao Mei died that night, followed by the Second Boss and Zhang Qiang from the North District Police Station. Now only the Guesthouse owner is left, and Director Zhao has also disappeared." Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh, as if talking to himself.

"You're not a doctor, but a police officer!" Guo Guo always thought those investigating were all police, doctors were just people who treated patients and wield scalpels.

"I am a doctor, but it doesn't stop me from doing other things."

"Private detective?" Guo Guo started guessing Xiao Lin's other identity. She was someone who could easily divert the topic.

"Missy, let me remind you that the entire case revolves around forbidden drugs, and you are considered a direct seller, which constitutes a legal violation." Xiao Lin wasn't threatening Guo Guo; he was stating the facts.

"Me?" Without any legal awareness, Guo Guo blinked; how could she break the law!

"Wasn't I introduced to some medicines through you? The receipts are still there!" Guo Guo nodded. "In other words, you sold drugs knowingly, which is violating the law knowingly."

"But I really didn't know selling that was against the law; whatever the boss asked me to do, I'd do!" Guo Guo felt aggrieved and nervous. She eyed Xiao Lin. "You wouldn't want to lock me up, right?"

"If you can provide us with more clues to become a witness for the police, I can assure you won't face any trouble."

"Hey, your assurance doesn't count." Guo Guo was entirely unwilling to trust Xiao Lin anymore; now she realized who would buy medicine so extravagantly—he was a stooge working for the police. Why would she believe him?

"Whether the guarantee holds or not isn't up to me! You can consider whether you want to cooperate. Also, don't forget that outside they're searching for your grandfather all over, once you're out, you'll quickly be captured—those people are ruthless fugitives."

"You bastard, you're threatening me!" Guo Guo understood the latter part's meaning and yelled at Xiao Lin.

"What's wrong?" a guard was the first to rush in, seeing Guo Guo's scornful expression and Xiao Lin's smiling demeanor. He knew who had won.

"Nothing! Isn't Yi here yet?"

"He said to wait; there seems to be an issue on the 'Black Crow's' side, but he will definitely come today."

"Got it!" Xiao Lin responded without looking back. "If you want to interpret it as a threat, I don't mind. You're not a child, measure it yourself."

"The condition, what is the condition?"

"The outcome of cooperation—you can receive personal protection, and your grandfather will receive the same protection, on the condition that you tell us where he is. Second, I can clear you of charges. Third, after it's over, both you and your grandfather can regain freedom."

"Sounds good, but on what grounds can you clear both my grandfather and me of charges? I'm just a sensible drug seller, a few years in prison and I'll be out, but Grandpa was once a murderer and stole valuable items, that's hefty charges to clear."

"That's my issue, as long as we find your grandfather and he can cooperate with us, I can assure his safety!"

"Then how do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"Just tell us what you know! It's simple."

Guo Guo lowered her head, seriously trying to clarify the relationship of interests, then shook her head rigidly. "I dare not!"

Guo Guo's answer startled Xiao Lin. Seeing her hesitant demeanor, he played a harsh card. "Who is the big boss, Yan Juanjuan or Yao Zheng?"

"Ah!" Seeing her surprised expression, Xiao Lin immediately felt enlightened. "Okay, I'll cooperate with you, but you must ensure my safety, and my grandfather's safety."

"Before you speak, I have a question: why should I believe you?"

"This..." Guo Guo was stumped by the question, unsure of how to prove herself, she stared intently at Xiao Lin. "Believe it or not."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yi finally appeared at the repair shop, his disheveled look was incomprehensible. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
