Chapter 317: Not Translated into Love

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

On this land, nobody could openly go against the police who were trying to save lives.

However, in a village close to the Dark Clan—

Bai Muchuan took another look at the village which was enveloped in the heavy mist. Somehow he was wary of the place but he decided not to say much.

“Everyone, walk faster! Let’s find a place to rest in the village!”

Meng Chi walked over and wanted to help. “Captain Bai, let the injured get on my jeep!”

Xiang Wan was the ‘injured’ Meng Chi was referring to. She was currently unconscious and Bai Muchuan was carrying her on his back.

Meng Chi took a glance at Xiang Wan and opened the door of the front passenger seat.

Bai Muchuan rejected his offer. “It’s okay, there’s nothing serious about her injury. She’s just sleeping and will wake up in a short while. Let the needier ones have the seat.”

His last sentence sounded very noble.

However, Quan Shaoteng was skeptical as the corners of his lips turned upwards. “What are you thinking? You don’t want to take the vehicle?”

Bai Muchuan replied coldly, “If Meng Chi can find this place, can’t the police find this place?”

“CEO Meng.” Lima walked over carefully. Her steps were weak, and she was sobbing. “It’s so good to see you here… we almost… couldn’t make it here.”

The ‘we’ she was referring to were Xie Wanwan and herself.

Both of them were actresses signed under the Meng Entertainment Group.

However, her grievances and gratitude were met with Xie Wanwan’s calm and peaceful face.

“The one who almost couldn’t make it back is you, not me.”

Unlike Lima, Xie Wanwan did not fawn on Meng Chi when she talked to him. She just nodded at him lightly as a form of greeting and directly walked passed him to follow Cheng Zheng.

Lima’s expression changed after she snubbed her. She hated Xie Wanwan to the core, but there was nothing she could do to her.

Everybody knew Xie Wanwan was not just an A-List celebrity, she was also the top star of the Meng Entertainment Group.

Meng Chi brought her to fame. Her place in Meng Chi’s heart was, of course, different from other actresses who entered the industry midway like Lima herself…

Thus, she swallowed her unhappiness and looked at Meng Chi shyly. “Both myself and Wanwan suffered a lot while we’re in there…”

“It’s tough on you!”

Apparently, Meng Chi was not interested to hear her woes. In fact, he did not even look at her.

He got the chauffeur to help Lima got on the jeep and followed behind Xie Wanwan.

“Wait up!”

Xie Wanwan turned her head. “CEO Meng, what’s up?”

Meng Chi noticed that she was following beside the injured Tang Yuanchu closely.

He frowned and pointed towards the jeep. “You people can get into the jeep.”

Xie Wanwan looked at Cheng Zheng. “This path is too rocky and rough. I don’t think it’s appropriate? Captain Cheng…”

As long as Tang Yuanchu could be saved, she actually did not mind taking a ride on Meng Chi’s jeep.

However, Cheng Zheng just let the teammates carry Tang Yuanchu without stopping. He did not even turn his head.

“We might need to make a detour if we took the vehicle. It might not be as convenient as walking.” She rushed to catch up with Cheng Zheng after she finished talking.

Meng Chi pulled a long face; obviously, he was not too happy about this.

Nevertheless, he did not complain but boarded the jeep. “Let’s go.”

Deep inside her, Xie Wanwan was very worried. She walked beside Cheng Zheng, but her eyes were focused on the unconscious Tang Yuanchu.

“Captain Cheng, are we sending him to the hospital?”

“Yes!” Cheng Zheng answered.

“So…” Xie Wanwan looked behind her; she suddenly had a desire to take Meng Chi’s jeep. “Why don’t we use his vehicle?”

She knew that if there was a need for it, the police had the authority to use private cars for official use.

Cheng Zheng, however, only gave her a look and rejected the idea.

“If Meng Chi can find this village, so can the others.”

Xie Wanwan did not know that Cheng Zheng disliked Meng Chi because of Xiang Wan. At that moment, she was just worried…

What if no other vehicle showed up?

They had been uncontactable for many hours ever since they entered Vulture’s Mouth.

The remaining rescuers led by Hassan wouldn’t be sitting out there and do nothing as well.

The main difference was maybe Meng Chi’s vehicle had better performance and faster speed.

It had been proven that Bai Muchuan and Cheng Zheng’s deduction was correct.

Before the group of people entered the village, they could already see two police jeeps driving on the path leading to the village.

It was someone they knew—the second-in-command, Hassan.

He brought vehicles and men with him, as well as supplies.

That scene felt like divine soldiers were sent from the heavens above to help them.

With that, Cheng Zheng’s expression actually looked relieved.

“Tang Yuanchu—can be saved!”

Xie Wanwan’s spirit lifted when she heard Cheng Zheng’s words.

Her already sore and aching legs regained some energy. Her already hoarse voice also sounded clearer.

“Here! Here, we’re over here!”

She waved her hands excitedly in the air at the approaching police jeeps as she shouted. Her usual cold and proud demeanor were nowhere to be seen.

“We have a seriously injured person here. He needs to be sent to the hospital right away!”

Xie Wanwan admitted that she was selfish.

Tang Yuanchu was not the only injured person among them.

However, he was the most heavily injured of them all, and would surely be given priority. Yet, she was still fearful that Tang Yuanchu might not receive the most immediate and best treatment

She didn’t care about the rest. At that moment, Tang Yuanchu was the only person in her mind.

For what he had done for her.

She might not be able to handle his death.

Hence, her attitude towards Cheng Zheng who saved Tang Yuanchu improved a lot. She no longer pulled a long face before him like before and addressed him politely as Captain Cheng.

“Captain Cheng, if we send him to the hospital now, will there be any unexpected changes in his condition while on the way out?”

She was worried.

There were warmth and earnestness in her eyes.

Cheng Zheng knew Xie Wanwan when they were younger.

He also knew how Xie Wanwan was like.

Therefore, he could not understand her sudden change of attitude.

“You’re moved by him?” Cheng Zheng asked.

This was a sharp and direct question.

It caught Xie Wanwan by surprise. She looked at Tang Yuanchu’s face, pale like a dead person.

“Yes, but being moved is not love.”

Cheng Zheng gave a sneer and remained silent for a while. “Your feelings are certainly steadfast.”

Sensing the sarcasm in his tone, Xie Wanwan glared at him. “Aren’t you the same? This time around, you’ve done so many things. Many of them will be so grateful to you. Even I will now see you in a new light. However…”

A corner of her lips quirked upward as she glanced towards Xiang Wan’s direction. “She must be moved by your efforts as well, but that doesn’t translate into love, right?”

That hurts!

Cheng Zheng’s eyes were dim for a moment.

Just as they spoke, Hassan had arrived with his team of rescuers.

The paths leading to this village were too rough.

Everybody helped to move the sick and injured onto the vehicles.

There were only two vehicles; therefore, the priority was given to those who were in critical condition.

Cheng Zheng moved Tang Yuanchu into the vehicle and instructed Mei Xin to look after Tang Yuanchu while he himself, did not go along with them.

Xie Wanwan asked him as she felt worried. “You’re not coming?”

Cheng Zheng shook his head. “Once he’s out of here, there will be specialized doctors to treat him. Don’t forget I’m not considered one.”

“Oh, I forgot about your specialization.” While she was worried about Tang Yuanchu, Xie Wanwan was a little unhappy that Cheng Zheng decided to stay behind. She glared at him coldly, then she looked at the vehicle and removed the scarf wrapped around her neck and gave it to Cheng Zheng.

“Please thank Xiang Wan on my behalf!”

Cheng Zheng took a look at his own scarf. “…”

The rescue team immediately sent Tang Yuanchu to the hospital.

Within three minutes of arrival, the two vehicles had departed the village.

Since Xie Wanwan was really worried, she left with Mei Xin in the same vehicle.

With the first batch of the sick and injured left the village, the tense atmosphere finally alleviated.

Cheng Zheng walked towards Bai Muchuan, his eyebrows scrunched up tightly together as he looked at the woman on his back.

Both of them were thoroughly drenched.

Their line of sight clashed in mid-air like a collision of flames.

“Why didn’t you put her on the vehicle?” Cheng Zheng asked.

“She’s not willing.” Bai Muchuan’s reply was simple and clear. “If she did not see me when she wakes up, she’s gonna blame me for not keeping my promise.”

“But she’s injured, she needs medical treatment!” Cheng Zheng sounded a little angry as he spoke.

“Well, we still have you?” Bai Muchuan revealed a sly smile on his face. “We’re here in Nanmu now, I don’t think there’s a doctor better than you.”

Apparently, Bai Muchuan had overheard Cheng Zheng and Xie Wanwan’s conversation.

Cheng Zheng kept quiet as he looked at Bai Muchuan expressionlessly.

Humans loved to be praised.

Even if Bai Muchuan was insincere on his praises, Cheng Zheng could not raise any objection.

“But we don’t have any medical equipment over here!” Cheng Zheng added, “That’s the main issue.”

“Xiang Wan’s injury is different from Tang Yuanchu. A bullet brushed past her… your box of medical equipment is more than enough to handle that.”

“…”

After hearing Bai Muchuan’s words, Cheng Zheng was in a daze for half a minute.

“It seems like you have a lot of confidence in me.” He said coldly.

“Yeah.” Bai Muchuan continued to carry Xiang Wan on his back as he walked towards the village. “Of course, that’s only restricted to your skills. It does not include your medical ethics!”

“…”

Cheng Zheng was speechless at his remark.

A good while later, he caught up to them, displeased.

“Seems like you don’t need me to treat you?” He sneered.

Bai Muchuan took a look at his wounded arm. “…”

When Xiang Wan woke up, the first thing that came to her mind was—

The winds had broken into the cottage she was in!

The light was very dim in the house. The wind had seeped in through the cracks of the window, and there was no decent furniture in the house. Dust was everywhere. Even the floor was made of soil, giving her the impression that they traveled back in time for many decades to a poor, rural village.

The surroundings were very quiet.

She did not know where she was.

She could only remember that she was in the lake before she fainted.

As well as the piercingly cold lake water.

She sneezed and coughed. “Bai Muchuan?”

She jumped when she heard her trembling and hoarse-sounding voice.

However, nobody answered her.

Xiang Wan struggled to sit up on the bed, using her arms as support.

Tsk! She felt a sharp pain in her leg that soon felt numb. She was unable to walk as smoothly as though her leg suddenly got swollen by a few notches.

Earlier when she was resting, it didn’t feel this terrible. Now after having a rest, her injury appeared to have worsened.

She gently rubbed her leg anxiously and looked around her.

There was a faded picture of the ancient Chinese door god pasted onto the door.

There was also a wooden hanger next to the door.

And there was a jacket hanging on it.

She could recognize that the jacket belonged to Bai Muchuan.

The jacket was here but where was he?

Xiang Wan got frightened and shouted.

“Bai Muchuan! Bai Muchuan… where are you?!”
