Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 687 - 690: Going Back

After finishing his speech, the Director returned to his chair and let out a long sigh. Han Jiajia remained silent, standing there with an expression of deep grievance.

Liu Ergou noticed the atmosphere was no longer so tense, so he began looking for a new topic of conversation.

"Ahem, about that, Director... you didn’t call me here just to apologize, did you?" he asked. "Is there nothing else besides this matter?"

To Liu Ergou’s complete surprise, the Director nodded. "Yes, just to apologize to you. We were truly in the wrong here, and we owe you an apology. Honestly, I never expected such a thing to happen today!"

Watching the Director get increasingly worked up, Er Gou hastily interrupted him. "Director, I know you mean well, but what’s said is said. Let’s just turn the page. If it’s convenient, could you tell me... what is this Patrol Bureau?"

Hearing Liu Ergou’s question, the Director first opened his mouth, then closed it, followed by yet another sigh.

Just as Liu Ergou’s curiosity was piqued, the Director suddenly said, "I wasn’t planning on telling you this. You’re an outsider, so knowing about it is useless and would only add to your worries. But then I remembered that five Femurists failed to kill you. That must mean you’re also part of the Ancient Martial Sects. Since you are, there’s no need to beat around the bush. Besides, any Ancient Martial Artist has to deal with the Patrol Bureau eventually. Today, I’ll explain the Patrol Bureau to you properly!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ergou immediately perked up. He sat up straight, ready to listen attentively.

The Director continued, "Actually, the Patrol Bureau isn’t that mysterious. It hasn’t been established for very long—just about a hundred years. The purpose of its founding is quite simple: to monitor Ancient Martial Artists, prevent them from harming ordinary people, and govern the order within the Ancient Martial Sects. Of course, the Patrol Bureau doesn’t intervene in every matter, only in those that are serious and uncontrollable. Take the current situation, for example. There have been many cases of Ancient Martial Artists killing people, which has alarmed the Patrol Bureau."

An expression of sudden realization dawned on Liu Ergou’s face.

So that’s the function of the Patrol Bureau. I had my suspicions, but they were just that—suspicions. It’s not the same as hearing it directly from someone else.

Watching Liu Ergou’s realization, the Director added, "Speaking of which, you might be curious about how many experts are in the Patrol Bureau. I wouldn’t know that. I’m just an ordinary person. However, I can tell you that I once saw an expert from the Patrol Bureau in action. With just a single palm strike, he obliterated a small hill! The scene was so shocking that I can’t forget it to this day!"

When Liu Ergou heard that someone from the Patrol Bureau could smash a small hill with one blow, his eyes widened in disbelief.

What kind of joke is this? Obliterating a hill with a single slap? That’s too exaggerated; it’s comparable to a small missile! What realm of power would it take to do that? Innate? Or perhaps a Martial Golden Core?

The more Liu Ergou thought about it, the more puzzled he became. Finally, he decided he should go back and ask Swallow Li. Known in the Ancient Martial Sects as the ’Fierce Swallow,’ he was sure to know a lot.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to speak, another question popped into his mind. Without thinking, he asked directly, "Oh, by the way, Director, speaking of the Patrol Bureau, something else just occurred to me. In the Ancient Martial Sects, are there no other factions besides the Patrol Bureau? No, what I mean is, apart from an official organization like the Patrol Bureau, are there no private ones that serve a similar function?"

This time, the Director shrugged, looking helpless. "You really shouldn’t be asking me this," he said. "I’m just an ordinary person. It’s quite impressive that I know this much already. If you’re that curious, maybe you should ask someone else when you get the chance!"

At this, the Director suddenly added, "I got so caught up in this that I almost forgot the most important thing." With a serious face, he turned to Liu Ergou and said, "Liu Ergou, since you’ve been a great help to us this time, the higher-ups have approved a cash reward for you. It might take about a month, but the bonus will be deposited directly into your bank account."

The moment Liu Ergou heard there was a bonus, his eyes lit up.

This is great!

With this thought, Liu Ergou thanked the Director and left by himself. He had wanted to see if he could ask for some time off for Han Jiajia, but before he could even speak, the Director had already gestured for him to leave, giving him no chance to talk.

With no other choice, Liu Ergou left the police station alone and returned to his car. Before leaving, however, he made an arrangement with Han Jiajia to pick her up from work that evening.

Sitting in his car, Liu Ergou couldn’t help but give a long stretch. Just as he was about to drive to Han Jiajia’s house, his phone suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, Liu Ergou saw that the call was from Feng Chunling.

As expected, she’s likely calling about that matter.

And sure enough, the moment Liu Ergou answered, Feng Chunling said, "Er Gou, everything’s been taken care of. There’s nothing left for us to do in the city. After discussing it with Yang Mei, we’ve decided to go back tomorrow. We won’t stay here any longer."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou replied with a trace of puzzlement, "Ah, you’re going back so soon, Auntie? Why don’t you and Yang Mei stay for a few more days? If you’re not comfortable at the villa, I can book a hotel for you, and I’ll show you two around the city. Don’t be in such a hurry to go back. What’s the rush?"

Feng Chunling was naturally happy to hear Liu Ergou trying to get her to stay, but she declined his offer. "No, thanks, Er Gou," she said. "Yang Mei and I won’t stay any longer. Every extra day means spending more money, and money doesn’t grow on trees. Besides, there’s work waiting for me at the plantation. I need to get back quickly; I can’t delay any longer."

Liu Ergou felt a bit disappointed to hear that. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Feng Chunling added, "Oh right, Er Gou, you’ve been away from the village for too long this time. I heard from Sister Xiaoyu that I have a few sisters in the city."
