Chapter 1651: Self-harm

After the slapping incident, Mo Fei started to take care of herself because she realized that dragging a body like this around put her in awkward situations.

At least, she did not manage to slap that woman to death that day.

However, she did not expect that as her wounds started to close and her broken bones slowly healed, the woman called Huang Jiaojiao really wanted to make sure things did not end just like that.

News of the Qian family breaking off the engagement and Qian Yikun hiding a beautiful woman in secret spread throughout the streets and alleys of B City.

Qian Yikun worked as a police officer and his reputation was very important. Hence, when this incident happened, what was affected the most was Qian Yikun’s job.

Qian Yikun was the deputy station chief c.u.m captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit. Hence, he only had one person to answer to—the station chief.

Moreover, this station chief had quite a good relations.h.i.+p with Qian Yikun.

Everyone in the police station knew that Qian Yikun was hiding someone in his house. Qian Yikun had not been attending gatherings with them during this period of time. He did not take the initiative to work overtime either. After work, he would go home straight. Even when he was on a mission, he would call to check in on his house from time to time.

What else could he be doing other than hiding a precious lil wife at home?

They often joked that Qian Yikun should invite them to his wedding banquet. Qian Yikun would always smile without objecting.

“Ol’ Qian, I know your relations.h.i.+p is none of our business, but this is a problem with your reputation. If you have a wife at home, just admit it.” The station chief, Ol’ Xin, was fifty years old this year. He would retire in a few years.

When Qian Yikun first found out about this news, he was most worried that Ye Cong would see it. The reason why Ye Cong did not suspect him now was that the whole world knew that Qian Yikun and Mo Fei were arch-enemies. However, once this piece of news got out, Qian Yikun had no idea if Ye Cong would start suspecting Qian Yikun.

“Not a wife, but this has nothing to do with the Huang family. I’ll settle this matter. I won’t tarnish the reputation of the unit,” Qian Yikun said darkly. The Qian family was a prestigious family in B City. It was normal for something like this to happen. However, the problem was that Qian Yikun was a police officer and any tarnish to his reputation would be dire.

Ol’ Xin nodded and patted Qian Yikun’s shoulder. “I’ll retire in two years. The position of station chief will be yours. There mustn’t be any problems with your demeanor.”

Qian Yikun did not mind whether he could become the station chief or otherwise. He was more worried about what was going on at home.

“Chief Xin, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back home first,” said Qian Yikun.

Ol’ Xin raised his hand as a gesture to remind him to settle this matter first. There were not a lot of criminal cases in the Criminal Investigation Unit recently, so there was no need for Qian Yikun, the captain, to step in.

Qian Yikun nodded and turned to leave the station chief’s office. When he pa.s.sed by the infirmary, Qian Yikun lowered his head and looked at his arm. He thought for a while before walking in with big strides.

“Yo, Captain Qian, what brings you here?” The doctor working in the Criminal Investigation Unit was looking through the medical records when she saw Qian Yikun. She smiled and greeted him.

However, she did not expect Qian Yikun to come in and pick up the fruit knife on her table. Then, he took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and slashed his arm.

Blood instantly dripped down his arm and onto the ground.

“Ah— Captain Qian, what are you doing?” The unit doctor screamed. She was flabbergasted by Qian Yikun’s action.

Did he inflict self-harm because of the news?

Qian Yikun endured the pain and said, “Help me bandage it up, please.”

The unit doctor was speechless. “…”

Had Qian Yikun finally cracked?

The unit doctor’s lips twitched as she carefully st.i.tched up Qian Yikun’s wound. Then, she bandaged his wound tentatively for him. “Captain Qian, are you alright?”
