The Devil Doctor's Spicy Love
Chapter 184: Friction

Chapter 184: Friction

Bojing looked feminine and misunderstood as somebody weak. But he held immense strength in his arms and legs. His one punch could rupture somebody’s insides and even though he never meant it, he often found himself unable to control his strength - which included hugging somebody or shaking hands like now.

Hou Tengqi calmly pulled his hand back and smiled. "No, no. There is a misunderstanding."

Meng Rin slightly gulped. She could see that he was definitely in pain but hiding it very well. The redness spreading from his palm to his wrist looked almost threatening.

She was in awe.

How did he do that?

Bojing wiped his eyes. "Thank God. I t-thought I broke your hand."

"How can that be possible?"

Mingshen threw in a comment. "People have made the same assumptions only to be proven wrong~"

Hou Tengqi narrowed his eyes. Then he smiled again. "Now that I realize, it’s getting hotter here. I think we should leave."

Chow Mey chimed in too. "Yeah it’s time for our flight back too. Rin, is all your luggage out?"

"Yes! I-"

"Oh you don’t need to worry about RinRin. Since I am here, we will go back together in my private jet."

Her heart sank as if she was dropped dead straight into the ocean.

Go back with him...?

"I see," Chow Mey looked slightly uncertain. "That’s good then."

"Not really," Bai Caishen said.

With his hands in his pockets, his lips laced into a sunny smile. "It’s nice that you want some private time with your girlfriend, but I am afraid it won’t be possible for now. Rin and I had made some commitments to discuss work matters during the flight back home."

What commitments? Meng Rin wondered.

"I believe it won’t be that urgent," he contested.

"I wouldn’t have meddled in your lovey-dovey time if it wasn’t."

Silence. It fell so hard that Meng Rin felt goosebumps jumping on her skin.

"Haish..." he sighed in defeat. "RinRin is really popular and busy."

Dong Haoyu smiled. "Well she is the sunshine of the crew after all."

"Makes her very photogenic," Ke Yufei nodded in all earnestness.

Meng Rin quickly said, "I will come with you-"

"No need, RinRin. It’s for just a few hours anyway. You should be with your colleague and finish up your work matters," he nodded understandingly.

"Oh...Sure."

Supervisor Lei bade his goodbye to Jia as well. "...Actually, I had also come here to apologize to you. I know I acted like a prick towards you. I must have really annoyed you with my behavior."

Jia shook her head. "Not at all. I do understand jurisdiction issues."

"It’s not just that. I have a daughter your age. She is also a cop. I was so proud of her. But last year, she got heavily injured during a case. She had almost lost her life..."

Her expression turned somber at that. "She is very brave. How is she now?"

"The left side of her body is paralyzed," a small tear formed in the corner of his eye. "We are doing everything we can for her treatment. That’s why when I saw you injured, I just couldn’t help but compare you to her. I am telling her to retire but just like you, she isn’t ready to listen."

Jia smiled. "I can say she is just like her father."

His brow twitched.

"I understand your concerns but this is a job in which we all come knowing the risks involved. There is no shame in retiring but if she truly wants to continue being a cop, then you should respect her decision."

Lei Honghui paused and nodded after releasing a sigh.

"Spicyyyyyyyyy~!! I can call for a private jet too~ How about we have our own private time in the private jet too~?"

"I am fine with the economy class," she ruthlessly shot back.

"I am sure Mom would have booked business class for you~ But rejoice! I am upgrading you to a super elite class private jet experience. Am I not so kind-hearted? Right? Right?"

"Don’t ruin my flight back home!"

"Aish. As shy as always~"

Lei Honghui cleared his throat and whispered. "Dr. Yang. I think you should be a little careful when talking to Mr. Hou. People belonging to Politburo families are too influential."

Mingshen smiled. "I exercise caution only on the operating table. Other than that if people get burned and blistered because of my words then that’s not my problem."

Bai Caishen said, "Let’s head to the airport all, shall we?"

Hou Tengqi replied. "You all go ahead. I will finish up some little work and then head to the airport."

What work is he referring to?

Meng Rin couldn’t help but wonder. She automatically thought of Xin Manchu who was in custody.

Will he...do something?

She felt a poke on her shoulder and she turned. Bojing asked, concerned. "Is your stomach hurting again?"

"No, no. I am fine."

He beamed in relief and chirped. "T-That’s great. Let’s go then!"

—

Jia stretched her legs in the wide available space of her business class seat and felt the tension in her shoulders relax.

Haish this life...

She glanced ahead at where Dong Haoyu was seated beside Bojing where the latter was keeping a strict eye on him. She shook her head and rested it back.

Mingshen came and sat beside her with a wide grin to which she scowled. "I was clear that I want to have a peaceful journey."

"I already let you have one the first time around. My heart refuses to be anymore benevolent~"

Jia narrowed her eyes. She glanced at Dong Haoyu once and then back at him. "What are you going to do with him?"

Mingshen smiled as he understood who she was asking about. "Well it wouldn’t be so bad having an extra pair of hands in the lab, right? Sprinkled with punishments here and there~ Messing with me is always such a terrible idea."

She raised her brow. "Making someone forcibly mess with you, you mean."

"I don’t understand your cryptic implications," he smirked.

"Then I will ask something else very straightforward. What is your deal with Hou Tengqi?"

Mingshen gleamed like a bright star. "Spicy is finally curious about me? Aish, my research subject is finally developing feelings for me, ahahaha!"

"..."

"I think this is the perfect chance to throw you off this flight."

"We are already in the air. It will be a crime if you try to open the doors now~"

"Tell me about Hou Tengqi."

"I don’t like him."

"You don’t like the whole world."

"That’s not true. Don’t I adore you so much~?" He smiled dreamily.

"Come to the point."

"They are three brothers. The one we met today is the eldest."

"Okay. And?"

"Years ago, my Dad was called to their residence to treat the youngest brother for an ailment he was suffering from. But he refused. Since then, the Politburo family don’t really like us very much," he smiled.
