Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three: Molan's Anger

Everyone present remained silent, their gazes lowered as if they did not dare to look Qianyin in the eye. Qianyin found this increasingly strange. She sat there, picked up a piece of fruit, and took a bite, finding it tasted just as familiar as before.

Why did they not dare to mention Lengxue? The more Qianyin thought about it, the more perplexed she became. She tugged at Molan's hand, shaking it gently as she asked, "Where did Lengxue go?"

"He... he went somewhere very far away." Molan did not know how to break the news and kept avoiding Qianyin's gaze.

The others did not dare to make a sound either, quietly listening to the conversation between the two. Dong, Nan, Xi, and Bei did not even dare to breathe heavily, terrified that Qianyin would come over and ask them. They, too, had no idea how to explain it.

Old Mr. Mo glanced at the servants and spoke up, "Go and prepare a delicious dinner for Miss Qianyin. Do it immediately." This was the only thing Old Mr. Mo could do for Qianyin right now. He already felt somewhat guilty for not letting Molan rescue Qianyin immediately before. After all, that decision had been selfish.

Elder Xian also stood up, brushed off his clothes, and said, "It's a rare occasion for Qianyin to return. I'll go gather some herbs and brew a medicinal soup for you right away. You need to nourish your body."

Watching Elder Xian walk toward his quarters, Dong, Nan, Xi, and Bei said in unison, "I'll go help too!" and quickly slipped away.

Molan glanced at Old Mr. Mo, who went straight back to his study to handle the matters regarding the Wang Family Medicine Shop. The once-bustling hall was left with only the two of them. Molan felt restless but remained to keep Qianyin company.

Qianyin was still worried about Lengxue. Seeing that Molan refused to speak, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Lengxue.

Qianyin: *What are you doing? Where are you right now?*

Qianyin: *I miss you so much.*

One minute passed, then two, but Qianyin still received no reply from Lengxue.

Qianyin's mind suddenly went blank. Where on earth did Lengxue go? Why wasn't he replying to her messages? Was everyone keeping a secret from her? At this thought, Qianyin looked up at Molan.

Molan waved her hand, reluctant to speak. Just then, her phone rang. Seeing that it was An Feng calling, she answered it.

"Bring Boss Wang over. And while you're at it, come take a look at how we should handle the injured here." An Feng was furious. When he had returned and saw everyone covered in wounds, his expression had turned extremely grim.

Was that fellow Dong torturing them like this as revenge for their failure to rescue Qianyin? In just two short days, these people were nearly crippled. Even the Chief looked furious but did not dare to speak out, which sent a chill down An Feng's spine.

Hearing such an angry voice, Molan was slightly puzzled. She glanced at Qianyin and said, "I need to take Boss Wang to the police station first. I'll explain everything when I get back, alright?"

Seeing that Molan indeed had urgent business, Qianyin nodded and went out to the garden alone. Standing there, she suddenly recalled the words Lengxue had spoken that night: *Because I feel like it.* A smile played on Qianyin's lips as she stood there foolishly, holding a leaf in her hand.

Molan walked straight to the room, grabbed Boss Wang by the collar with one hand, dragged him out the main door, and stuffed him into the car. In one fluid motion, she slammed her foot on the gas pedal and drove straight to the police station.

The other servants watched this scene with shining eyes. Their eldest young mistress was so dominant! She truly lived up to her title as the deputy captain of the Elite Team.

An Feng watched the group of officers squatting and sitting on the ground, applying ointment to their wounds. Liu Fei and Xiao Qi sat to the side watching. Xiao Qi's hand was also injured, but she had applied medicine long ago and was mostly recovered by now. Unlike the injuries on these officers—even with Elder Xian's medicine, it was impossible to recover so quickly.

When Molan arrived, she remained just as rough. She got out of the car, dragging Boss Wang behind her, and hauled him inside. When she saw the crowd of injured officers, her jaw nearly dropped to the floor. What was going on? Even during their own hellish training sessions, they had never sustained injuries like these.

That fellow Dong had gone far too hard on them. No wonder An Feng was angry. Molan threw the man to the floor, and An Feng's subordinates immediately dragged him away for detention and interrogation.

Molan quickly stepped forward to greet the Chief before looking at the large group of injured officers. With some embarrassment, she said, "I'm sorry. Having Dong train you was a matter of necessity. We had to go out because Mofan was kidnapped."

The officers all kept their heads lowered, as if they had not heard Molan's words. They had undergone this training to rescue Qianyin. Now that Qianyin's friend had beaten them to this state, wasn't it all because of Molan? Naturally, they were furious.

"You should apologize. Look at what Qianyin's person did to us! And you talk about rescuing Qianyin? There was no need to save her at all. Wouldn't it have been better if someone like her just died on Wolf-Bear Mountain?" Seeing that the others did not dare to speak, Xiao Qi stood up and voiced what they were all thinking.

Upon hearing this, Molan's face darkened completely. Wasn't it a good thing that their skills improved through training? What did she mean by training just to rescue Qianyin? Wasn't saving people the duty of their police department in the first place?

An Feng looked up at Xiao Qi. Feeling that her words were too harsh, he figured Molan was about to lose her temper again.

The Chief stood to the side, not daring to speak either. Xiao Qi was simply too brainless, running straight into the line of fire at a time like this.

Liu Fei pursed his lips and remained silent. Although he did not share Xiao Qi's sentiment, Dong's methods of torturing people during training were truly something else. Training for a night and a morning didn't seem like much at first, but it was only after walking all the way back here that they realized their bodies were completely numb with exhaustion, to the point where they couldn't even stand up.

Molan stepped forward and slapped Xiao Qi across the face. "Isn't saving people your duty as police officers?" she sneered. "I invited someone to train you for your own good. Don't think you are so outstanding; once you leave this place, you are nothing. I feel bad for you because I see that you are injured, not because I think Dong did anything wrong."

The other officers did not dare to utter a word. Their usually gentle deputy captain had flown into such a rage; it seemed Xiao Qi had walked right into the line of fire. Indeed, Xiao Qi's words had been out of line.

Hearing this, the Chief came to a sudden realization. It was indeed true. He had been too lenient with these officers, causing them to lack ambition and grow complacent. Now that someone else had trained them, all their flaws were exposed, and they even complained about the instructor after getting hurt.

An Feng remained silent as well. Now that Qianyin was back, Molan was bound to protect her, and he had no desire to step forward and anger her. After all, An Feng had done more than his share of irritating Molan lately.

A sudden gust of wind swept through, causing everyone present except Molan to shudder. It seemed that when a normally mild-tempered person lost their temper, it was truly terrifying. At this moment, no one dared to speak.

Xiao Qi kept her head low, her lips pressed tight and her fists clenched. She neither spoke nor argued. Deep down, she was furious with Molan; this was the second time Molan had humiliated her in public.

Looking at the crowd that had finally quieted down, Molan grit her teeth and said, "If you think Dong went too far, then by all means, go drag him back and lock him up. I won't stop you. But if you actually dare to do that, all I can say is that I am not fit to work alongside you."

Having said her piece, Molan walked straight out, leaving the stunned crowd behind.
