Oh, That... That Murderer Was Pretty Impressive, Huh!

Chen Mo, who had been carried out by several people, opened his eyes the moment he left the laboratory building. "Put me down."

The two classmates carrying him froze when they heard his voice. It sounded full of strength, nothing like someone who had passed out cold.

But they said nothing and obediently set him down. "Young Master Shen, are you all right?"

Chen Mo pulled out his wallet, casually took out several hundred-yuan bills without counting them, and stuffed them into the two students' hands as payment for their trouble. "I'm fine. You can go. I'll head to the infirmary myself."

"Thank you, Young Master Shen." The two students took the money without another word and left.

Chen Mo had always been generous at school. Anyone who did something for him got a tip. For students from poorer families, it was no small source of extra income.

Chen Mo did not go to the infirmary. Instead, he called his advisor to ask for leave, then endured the pain and drove himself away from school.

He had originally thought Bai Jin was merely a useless, unloved member of the Bai Family. Who would have thought Bai Jin had gotten involved with Fifth Master Lu?

Chen Mo's eyes flashed with anger and resentment.

He was angry that Bai Jin did not know his place.

He resented that Fifth Master Lu had actually taken a liking to such trash.

What displeased him even more was that he had offended Fifth Master Lu because of this. He needed to hurry home and tell the old man and his father about it.

He could not let Fifth Master Lu hold a grudge against him.

That was right. Chen Mo had been furious after Bai Jin threw him over his shoulder. He had been so angry he wanted to kill someone.

But after Fifth Master Lu kicked him flying and even knocked him unconscious in front of so many people, not only did he not dare bear a grudge, he even had to go home and have his family figure out how to curry favor with Fifth Master Lu.

The Lu Family of the capital alone was already beyond what the Shen Family could afford to offend.

And then there was the Dragon Family in the political sphere.

Right or wrong, neither was someone a powerful family from a small place like theirs could casually provoke.

As for him going to school today to seek justice for Bai Jianian...

Heh! Nothing of the sort! Who said that?

Chen Mo's mind was in turmoil. He did not even answer when Bai Jianian called him.

"White Wolf, I heard from Red Wolf that you were bullied in A Country?"

In the break room, Bai Jin held a cup of coffee with four sugar cubes in it and sipped slowly. In his earphones was Black Wolf's concerned voice, coming from the distant border where he was carrying out a mission.

Bai Jin paused in the middle of drinking. "That's not true. Who could possibly bully me?"

"Stop trying to argue with me. As if I don't know you. With that soft little temper of yours, unless someone has a gun pointed at your forehead, you never bother holding things against people."

Black Wolf's voice carried both concern and frustration. "How about I just help you deal with the Bai Family directly?"

Bai Jin helplessly pressed a hand to his forehead. "Brother, are you so irritable because this mission's target is hard to kill?"

Black Wolf choked for a moment. "Something like that."

It was always like this. Every time he wanted to take the chance to say something more intimate to White Wolf, White Wolf would quietly change the subject.

Black Wolf had originally planned to confess to White Wolf once he came of age.

Instead, while Black Wolf was away on a mission, the brat packed up and returned to A Country.

By the time he received the news, White Wolf had already become a freshman at a university in Xu City, A Country.

Tsk.

Black Wolf's heart had gone completely cold.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Once your mission is over and you have time, come visit A Country. I have things to do here, so I'll hang up first." Bai Jin did not want to say more and ended the call.

Bai Jin slowly finished his coffee, then returned to the laboratory right on time and buried himself in his work.

It was not until noon that another call summoned him out.

This time, the call was from Lu Chengze.

"Kid, are you done?" Lu Chengze's voice was as pleasant as ever.

Bai Jin pursed his lips, his tone exceptionally obedient. "I'm done, Fifth Master. Are you already at the laboratory building?"

Lu Chengze had said he would take him out for lunch at noon.

Lu Chengze said, "Mm, I'm here. You'll see me as soon as you come out."

"Okay."

After changing out of his clothes, Bai Jin walked out of the laboratory building. Sure enough, the moment he stepped outside, he saw Lu Chengze leaning against his car, a cigarette between the fingers of his left hand as he tilted his head and spoke to Lu Jin beside him.

Noticing Bai Jin from the corner of his eye, Lu Chengze waved at Lu Jin. Lu Jin then got into the driver's seat.

"Fifth Master, is it really okay for you to be this high-profile?" Bai Jin walked over, ignoring the gazes coming from every direction as he looked up at Lu Chengze.

Lu Chengze rubbed Bai Jin's head. "Lu Group Corporation is Medical University's second-largest investment shareholder. What does a little publicity matter?"

He opened the car door for Bai Jin and let him get in, then followed him into the back seat. "If you don't like it, I'll use a different car next time."

A dark tide surged in Bai Jin's eyes as he turned to look out the window. "No need. This car is nice."

Lu Chengze did not dwell on the subject. The car left the school and headed east.

"I arranged a gathering with all the medical professors from your school and Xu City. I'll introduce you to them," Lu Chengze said.

Bai Jin's abilities had received unanimous recognition from Ai Huainan, Jiang Hongfeng, and the others.

But with Bai Jin's capabilities, it would likely take a long time for him to make a name for himself in Xu City.

There were many talented people in medicine, but one needed a capable, well-connected mentor to lead the way if one wanted a smooth, broad path ahead.

If Bai Jin had been favored by the Bai Family, Lu Chengze would never have needed to step in for something like this.

But the reality was that not only would the Bai Family refuse to pave the way for Bai Jin, they might even deliberately suppress him because of Bai Jianian's injury.

With this kid's temperament of never fighting or competing, it would be even harder for him to gain a foothold in Xu City.

So, as Bai Jin's boyfriend, of course Lu Chengze had to help him plan out such a small matter in advance at the first opportunity.

Bai Jin froze. He understood the meaning hidden in Lu Chengze's words. Lu Chengze was going to introduce him to people and help him find a mentor.

"Fifth Master, I already had a teacher when I studied abroad."

Lu Chengze raised a brow. "You already have a teacher? That's fine. You'll be dealing with the people invited to lunch today in the future anyway, so just treat it as getting familiar with them ahead of time."

Bai Jin's records abroad were blank, so Lu Chengze truly had not known that Bai Jin had already had a teacher while studying overseas.

Still, since he had already arranged it, they could not waste the opportunity.

Bai Jin nodded. "Thank you, Fifth Master. You're so good to me."

Lu Chengze could not resist rubbing Bai Jin's head again. "You don't need to be so polite with me."

Bai Jin smiled. "Fifth Master, aren't you busy today?"

They probably had not found the real murderer in that drug lord murder case yet, right?

Lu Chengze only thought Bai Jin was concerned about him. "Of course I'm busy. They still haven't found the murderer from that homicide case, but no matter how busy I am, I still have time to eat a meal with you."

Bai Jin let out an "Ah," his attention caught by the first half of Lu Chengze's words. "They still haven't found the murderer? Is that murderer really that hard to catch?"

Lu Chengze said, "Not exactly hard to catch. It's just that the murderer left too few clues. On top of that, the case was merged with a home-invasion murder from a few days ago, so it'll take longer to solve."

Bai Jin said, "Oh, then... that murderer was pretty impressive, huh!"
