When Guan Zhilin spoke, there was a hint of jealousy in her tone, and her gaze towards Wang Chao carried a strange sentiment.
They had gone through a lot together the last time, and Wang Chao had appeared like a divine being multiple times, saving her life at critical moments.
Moreover, Wang Chao was also handsome, making her unable to help but be attracted to him.
However, since that incident, Wang Chao had completely disappeared and she couldn't reach him at all.
After waking up in the hospital, she had been trying to contact Wang Chao, but there was no reason to do so.
Even after being discharged from the hospital, she was eager to share her achievements with Wang Chao.
During her hospital stay, she had gained favor from the Dragon Team.
The Dragon Team members officially invited her to join the Dragon Team as a defender of the country.
When she received the olive branch thrown by the Dragon Team, she was almost ecstatically happy. She couldn't wait to share this news with everyone around her.
However, the Dragon Team warned her not to disclose anything until it was confirmed.
Helplessly, she had to suppress her overwhelming joy.
At this moment, Wang Chao's phone call came, and she immediately ran over, wanting to share with him.
To her surprise, Wang Chao actually asked her to do such a thing, and he might even be doing it for some other woman.
This kind of situation made her burn with jealousy.
"Uh, it's a woman," Wang Chao nodded.
Guan Zhilin's face turned dark upon hearing that.
Was Wang Chao completely disregarding her feelings?
But upon careful consideration, she and Wang Chao didn't have any romantic relationship, and she had no right to interfere in his personal matters.
She could only suppress her jealousy and dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "You do seem to have a lot of friends. That Zhao Yihuan from last time is also your friend, right?"
"Oh, she's not my friend, she's my disciple," Wang Chao replied.
Guan Zhilin was taken aback.
Since when did Zhao Yihuan become Wang Chao's disciple?
"I helped you so much and you achieved countless successes. Judging by your joyful appearance just now, you must have been promoted and received a raise, right?"
Wang Chao smiled faintly and said, "In any case, help me with this matter, and I'll treat you to a meal next time."
After saying that, he patted Guan Zhilin's shoulder and went back into the room.
This guy, is he using me as his subordinate?
Guan Zhilin glared at Wang Chao in annoyance, but in the end, she took out her phone and called her comrades, asking them to take away Huang Zixu, Zhang Shan, and the others.
"No, I don't want to go in, sis, save me!"
Zhang Shan cried out in fear, pleading for mercy.
Zhang Min rushed out of the ward, grabbed Wang Chao's arm, and begged, "Brother Wang, please don't imprison him. If he gets imprisoned, it will stain his entire life. He will be ruined forever."
Guan Zhilin saw Zhang Min and narrowed her eyes slightly, then smiled with relief.
Although Zhang Min was pretty and pitiful, she seemed like someone from the lowest stratum of society and was not worthy of Wang Chao.
This kind of woman posed no threat.
"Miss Zhang, you are Zhang Shan's sister, right? Do not worry, he's only involved in gambling and loans. We'll just take his statement and there won't be any stains on his record," Guan Zhilin explained.
After speaking, she had her team take away Zhang Shan, Huang Zixu, and the others.
Then she turned to Wang Chao and said, "I've done you this favor. When can we have a meal together? I have something important to tell you."
"Tomorrow," Wang Chao replied calmly.
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Guan Zhilin nodded at Wang Chao, gave him a flirtatious look, and then left.
"Brother Wang, is everything really okay?" Zhang Min asked with doubt.
"Do not worry, Officer Guan is an upright person. She won't wrongly accuse anyone. Let your brother go in for a while to be disciplined, and he'll be much better," Wang Chao uttered calmly.
However, no matter what he said, Zhang Min still felt anxious and worried about her brother.
"Do not worry, nothing will happen."
Seeing Zhang Min's concerns, Wang Chao furrowed his brow slightly and quickly spoke, "Alright, I'll call Officer Guan and have her bring your brother back after an hour."
"That would be great." Zhang Min finally felt relieved.
If it was just an hour of confinement, then it was not a big deal.
"Miss Zhang, your father is sweating again," Wang Chao said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Min snapped back to reality and quickly entered the ward to take care of Zhang Dongjun.
After explaining everything to Guan Zhilin over the phone and failing to reach Shen Bing, Wang Chao called Zhou Xinghe instead. "Have you arrived?"
"Brother, I've been here for a while. President Shen is in a meeting," Zhou Xinghe's voice came through.
"Okay, then you help me take good care of President Shen during this time. I might not be able to return for a while. After President Shen finishes work, come to my house for dinner," Wang Chao said.
"Sure, I like braised pork and corn. Prepare a bit more," Zhou Xinghe replied.
"No problem."
Wang Chao hung up the phone with Zhou Xinghe and called Li Han, informing his mother that he would be bringing a friend home for dinner tonight and to make extra braised pork and cook a few ears of corn.
"Is't a man or a woman?" Li Han asked eagerly.
"It's a man!"
"A man is good. Okay, I'll cook later."
Li Han's voice sounded relieved, and she assured Wang Chao to come home for dinner quickly. She also enthusiastically said, "By the way, during your business trip, your female disciple often came to our house as a guest."
"Wang Chao, you should treat Yihuan better and not make her train so much."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Chao pondered over Li Han's words and furrowed his brow.
What's going on with his mother?
Why does it feel strange?
And why does Zhao Yihuan spend her time at his house instead of training or cultivating?
"It's really baffling."
Wang Chao scratched his head, lit a cigarette, and started smoking in the corridor. He looked at Zhang Min, who had been taking care of Zhang Dongjun in the ward, and his frown deepened.
How long would it take for him to go back under these circumstances?
However, they could not just leave Zhang Min and Zhang Dongjun unattended.
"It's really troublesome." Wang Chao smoked his cigarette, feeling particularly annoyed as he stood in the corridor.
Dealing with such caretaking matters was not easy.
"Oh? Brother Wang, are you here too?"
At that moment, a surprised voice sounded.
Wang Chao turned around and saw a attractive woman with fair skin, delicate features, and a gentle and elegant temperament, with a hint of gracefulness. She walked towards him with a smile on her face.
Wang Chao was slightly taken aback. "You are, Liu Shishi?"
