護花近衛 - 第117章 中醫泰鬥 - 清風書屋

"What?" Qiu Lingshan was taken aback, and then her face darkened... She had never imagined that Captain Yang, whom she idolized, could be such a gossip. In her impression, Yang Huaijun was a meticulous and stern man, yet here he was asking such nosy questions... It wasn't that Qiu Lingshan hadn't heard the rumors flying around the police station these past few days; she simply had no way to explain them.

With this sort of thing, the more you explain, the worse you make it—that much was obvious. That scene in the hospital, anyone with eyes would have misunderstood it, so with tongues wagging in other people's mouths, Qiu Lingshan had no choice but to let them talk. After this stretch of time passed, the storm would die down on its own.

But now that Yang Huaijun had suddenly brought it up, Qiu Lingshan really didn't know how to explain: "Captain Yang... I didn't..."

"Heh heh, the force doesn't forbid romance—that's your freedom..." Seeing Qiu Lingshan hesitate, Yang Huaijun assumed she was embarrassed, so he smiled and said nothing more. It wasn't his place to comment on Wei Zhao's affairs. His earlier agitation had merely been on Xiao Ning's behalf, speaking up for her sense of injustice. But Wei Zhao was the god of their squad—forever their captain.

"Captain Yang..." Qiu Lingshan was somewhat at a loss for words.

"Heh heh, but you could actually ask Wei Zhao for help. Maybe the suspect will be caught very soon..." The moment the words left his mouth, Yang Huaijun somewhat regretted them... Eagle, forgive me. I've sold you out...

But then, thinking of the relationship between Qiu Lingshan and Wei Zhao, Yang Huaijun felt relieved... If Qiu Lingshan and Wei Zhao really had reached the stage the rumors described, then given Eagle's temperament, it was hardly possible that he wouldn't help Qiu Lingshan...

"Him? The suspect?" Qiu Lingshan was stunned for a moment. Over on the other end, Yang Huaijun had already hung up. Qiu Lingshan was so furious her teeth itched. Wei Zhao, you bastard—you've ruined my reputation...

Still, Qiu Lingshan only nursed her resentment in thought. Shortly after, she hurriedly deployed her police forces, and following Yang Huaijun's analysis, began a large-scale search of the area around the male corpse's location...

As for Yang Huaijun, after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly drove off toward Songshan City Medical and Pharmaceutical University.

Songshan City Medical and Pharmaceutical University was one of the nation's renowned medical universities, enjoying a certain prestige even worldwide. Many foreign exchange students came here drawn by its fame to study Chinese medicine—and for no other reason than Guan Xuewen, dean of the College of Chinese Medicine.

Guan Xuewen enjoyed an exalted reputation in the world of medicine, a leading figure in traditional Chinese medicine.

Though the Guan family was not a great clan, with Guan Xuewen in it, it had become a transcendent presence among the major clans. Who dared claim they would never fall ill? Who dared claim they would never need to beg a favor of Guan Xuewen?

Thus, though the Guan family had only begun to grow and flourish over the past dozen years or so, it was by no means inferior to those great clans—only its foundations were still shallow. Yet that hardly mattered. Who would want to cross the Guan family? To cross the Guan family was to make an enemy of the other great clans.

The Yang family, to which Yang Huaijun belonged, was also one of the great clans, so it was only natural that they could ask Guan Xuewen to treat them.

Guan Xuewen rarely taught classes anymore; he only gave one large lecture to the College of Chinese Medicine students each week as a routine. Though it was meant for the Chinese medicine students, many from other departments also came to hear him—partly for his renown, and partly because Guan Xuewen truly had useful things to teach.
