"Luo Chao can't leave!" Su Jinyu saw Luo Chao about to leave and suddenly stood up, shouting at him.

Luo Chao stopped walking and looked at Su Jinyu helplessly. Why is this woman so troublesome!

"Officer Su, why can't I leave?" Luo Chao was a bit impatient as well and continued, "Yesterday, Captain Ouyang interrogated me. Today you're questioning me. I haven't asked anything from you, have I? If you insist on taking me away, may I ask if Officer Su has any proof?"

Luo Chao looked at Su Jinyu, then glanced at Ouyang Zhenhua. The meaning in Ouyang Zhenhua's words just now was to tell Luo Chao that this matter hadn't been transferred to the police station yet, so Su Jinyu's visit this time was unofficial. If Luo Chao doesn't cooperate, Su Jinyu has no reason to take him away!

Su Jinyu was choked by Luo Chao's words, her face turning red with anger, she glared at Luo Chao and Ouyang Zhenhua, saying, "Ouyang Zhenhua, I will report this to the higher-ups. Just you wait!"

Ouyang Zhenhua smiled at the angry Su Jinyu and said, "I've already reported to your superiors. I'm in charge of this matter to the end, and your superiors have approved it. I'm sorry, Officer Su, throwing a tantrum here won't work."

Su Jinyu was already angry, and hearing Ouyang Zhenhua say this made her feel even worse. She has a background but has always relied on her own abilities to climb up step by step. Everyone thinks she has a spoiled temper, but her temper isn't bad because she's pampered. It's a habit she developed after retiring from the special forces. She's too decisive and efficient, so many people misunderstand her.

And Su Jinyu and Ouyang Zhenhua have known each other since childhood. They didn't get along at first — their competition started when they were young. Su Jinyu joined the special forces because Ouyang Zhenhua joined first. So when she joined the special forces without hesitation, Ouyang Zhenhua was no longer there.

With no one to compete with, Su Jinyu was frustrated. But when she retired from the special forces and returned to the city to become a police officer, she unexpectedly met Ouyang Zhenhua again.

So there's a reason for their antagonism.

Su Jinyu thought Ouyang Zhenhua would understand that she's not a pretentious person, but today, hearing Ouyang Zhenhua's words, she felt anxious and hurt, her eyes reddening. To prevent herself from crying and embarrassing herself, Su Jinyu rushed to Ouyang Zhenhua, glared at him fiercely, and angrily said, "Ouyang Zhenhua, you'll pay for what you said today!"

Ouyang Zhenhua's previous words were meant as a joke, but he didn't expect Su Jinyu to take them seriously. Others didn't see the tears in her eyes, but he clearly did. How has this girl become so sensitive?

Just as Ouyang Zhenhua was about to speak, Su Jinyu bumped into him and walked outside.

Ouyang Zhenhua had been in pain since his condition flared up last night. Being bumped by Su Jinyu, he couldn't control himself and bent over in pain. Luo Chao, reacting quickly, supported Ouyang Zhenhua. Zhang Meijuan, seeing Ouyang Zhenhua in distress, was shocked. How could such a tall and sturdy man be knocked down by a woman?

He's not made of paper!

Despite her whirlwind of thoughts, Zhang Meijuan quickly went to support Ouyang Zhenhua with Luo Chao and asked concernedly, "Officer Ouyang, are you alright?"

Ouyang Zhenhua felt pain all over when supported, and when Zhang Meijuan touched him, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Knowing Ouyang Zhenhua's condition, Luo Chao said to Zhang Meijuan, "Director, I'll take Captain Ouyang to the school nurse, alright? Perhaps Officer Su accidentally injured him."

Hearing Luo Chao's teasing, Ouyang Zhenhua's mouth twitched. Damn it, can I be injured by a little girl?

But given the circumstances, he had no choice but to nod.

Knowing Luo Chao and Ouyang Zhenhua share a good bond, Zhang Meijuan nodded in agreement, saying, "Go quickly. Class will soon end, and exams will begin shortly."

Luo Chao nodded, then helped Ouyang Zhenhua leave the small meeting room.

Once Luo Chao and Ouyang Zhenhua left, Zhang Meijuan looked at Gao Xiangyu, standing to the side, not knowing what to do. Gao Xiangyu, ready to find an excuse to sneak away, heard Zhang Meijuan say, "Mr. Gao, I've made it clear to you, don't mess with Luo Chao. Compared to students like Li Haili, I think Luo Chao is already low-key enough. Didn't you see what happened today? If you keep bothering Luo Chao, don't come crying to me later."

Gao Xiangyu was about to explain himself when he saw Zhang Meijuan stop and look at him coldly before saying, "Remember, I'm not interested in you. Don't come asking for favors."

Luo Chao carried Ouyang Zhenhua out of the teaching building and directly hoisted him onto his back. The residual pain in Ouyang Zhenhua's body made him groan.

"What's going on?" Luo Chao frowned and asked. Having partnered with Ouyang Zhenhua for so long, he knew he was a tough guy, not one to show weakness over minor injuries.

Ouyang Zhenhua had once been injured in the rainforest while rescuing Phoenix, bitten by a crocodile. Since the medical personnel had been sacrificed, and without proper anti-inflammatory drugs and with the hot weather, his calf started to rot. The decaying flesh needed to be cut away.

That night, Ouyang Zhenhua leaned against a tree, heated his military knife, bit on a piece of wood, and cut the rotting flesh from his calf without making a sound. But now, with no visible wounds, he couldn't help but groan when Luo Chao touched him.

Ouyang Zhenhua took a sharp breath and said with a bitter smile, "My body isn't what it used to be."

Luo Chao said nothing, continuing to head to the school nurse. They both knew the school nurse likely couldn't help, but Luo Chao felt powerless, unable to alleviate his brother's pain without the necessary medical supplies.

"Hey, don't be so somber. I'm not used to it." Ouyang Zhenhua sensed Luo Chao's silence and mood change, teasingly said.

"You've never been the serious one." Luo Chao didn't give Ouyang Zhenhua any leeway, coldly replied.

Ouyang Zhenhua silently laughed, then patted Luo Chao's shoulder, signaling him to let him down.

Luo Chao stopped, gently placing Ouyang Zhenhua down but still holding onto him cautiously. Ouyang Zhenhua waved his hand, indicating he was okay now, prompting Luo Chao to release him and stand by his side.
