"Oh, is there something else?"

Cheng Ye's voice came from behind, laced with a hint of humor. "Could it be that Mr. Jiang is looking for me for another reason?"

Eh?

Right, I did have something to ask him!

In an instant, Jiang Chuan's chaotic thoughts became clear as day, and he almost blurted out: "Inspector Cheng, the station received your medical application. It seems the injury is quite serious, so you'll need to stay in the medical facility for at least ten days or a couple of weeks. They sent me to check on your condition, help you pack, and assist with the paperwork once you're at the facility, saving you the trouble of running back and forth."

These words nearly choked him when Cheng Ye was inspecting him earlier.

Now spilling it all out in one breath, Jiang Chuan felt a sense of unprecedented relief all over his body, much like the exhilaration after a hundred rounds of battling the Fusion Body in the waters of Lin River back in the day.

He straightened his back and looked at Cheng Ye, finally having some confidence in his eyes.

No matter how absurd the questioning earlier was, at least now, he had managed to carry out Ding Yishan's mission.

"Alright, let's go then. I happen to need help moving some things."

Cheng Ye nodded.

He took the lead and walked outside, leaving a bewildered Jiang Chuan standing in the corridor.

After hesitating for two seconds, he hurried to catch up.

Was it really this simple?

Then what was the point of all his efforts, even getting himself caught by the community people?

Once outside the mall, fresh air greeted him, and Jiang Chuan suddenly felt like the world had gone so mad he couldn't recognize it.

This Zone B-7, this Celestial Essence Community, this Inspector Cheng.

His past experience was completely ineffective here, everything moving in a direction he had never imagined.

"Mr. Jiang?"

"Uh..." Jiang Chuan lightly coughed, trying to cover his chaotic emotions. "Inspector Cheng, just call me by my name."

"Alright, thanks."

Cheng Ye reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder with a soft look in his eyes. "I think we have a connection. In the future, if you need to find me, just give me a call. No need for such trouble."

"Connection?"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, looking down at his shoulder where he was patted, feeling like there was an indescribable meaning hidden in those words.

He looked up at Cheng Ye, who wore a candid smile. Yet the warmth in his eyes made Jiang Chuan, who considered himself a shrewd officer, suddenly feel unable to see through him.

But this, indeed, was good news.

In the future, Station Chief Ding would surely have him investigate Inspector Cheng's changes. Getting familiar would mean no more sneaking around like today.

"I'm just two streets away, living in the Chaoyang Electronics Factory District."

Cheng Ye walked in front, while Jiang Chuan quietly followed behind.

It was working hours, so there wasn't anyone wandering around the district.

Pushing open the security door, Jiang Chuan saw the incredibly simple interior and pursed his lips.

He wanted to say something, but felt their relationship hadn't reached the level where he could speak freely.

"If it's convenient, could you take these books for me? I'll read them while I'm hospitalized."

"Books?"

Catching the box, Jiang Chuan glanced at the covers and was slightly stunned.

Handwritten books weren't strange, but they were all about dealing with Infected Bodies, not a single magazine from the old era.

Even Station Chief Ding would flip through magazines to pass the time.

"And these clothes, can you carry them?"

Cheng Ye opened the wardrobe and pulled out a few changes of clothes.

Jiang Chuan glanced over and was first drawn to a basket of rags inside, once again stunned.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, oh, I can carry it, just give it all to me!"

With the clothes and books taken, the room only had some unopened bullets left.

Two rifles were hidden under the bed by Cheng Ye, unsuitable to bring to the medical facility.

As for the Nutrient Paste, the unfinished ones had expired already, and the medical facility probably wouldn't lack food for him.

"Let's go!"
