#2515 - It doesn’t look like a good thing at first glance!

The ring was completely black without any patterns or decorations, but it felt extremely heavy in the hand, as if it was made of some unknown metal.

"This thing doesn't look like a high-tech product. It looks more like..." Wang Yanbing looked at it over and over for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was.

"Like what?" Qin Yuan and He Chenguang asked in unison.

Wang Yanbing chuckled, pointed at a small protrusion on the ring, and said, "Does it look like the kind of mechanism used to hide drugs in ancient times?"

Qin Yuan and He Chenguang were speechless. This kid was thinking about a lot of nonsense all day long.

However, at this moment, something strange happened!

The ring, which was originally pitch black, suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light!

The golden light came quickly and went away quickly.

When Qin Yuan and the other two came to their senses, the rings in their hands had returned to normal, except that the originally dark surface now had a golden line, like a tiny snake coiled on the ring.

"What's going on? This thing can glow?" Wang Yanbing fiddled with the ring curiously, trying to find out the secret.

Qin Yuan and He Chenguang also looked at each other. It was the first time they saw such a change in the ring.

"Could it be..." He Chenguang hesitated to speak, and suddenly a bold guess flashed through his mind.

"Upgrade?" Wang Yanbing was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, "You mean, Lao Qin's system can be even more awesome?"

"It's possible." He Chenguang nodded. "Think about it. When Lao Qin was on a mission before, the system never showed any abnormalities. This time he was seriously injured, and the system suddenly responded. This is too much of a coincidence."

Qin Yuan also felt that He Chenguang's analysis made sense, but he was still a little confused: "But, what does the system upgrade have to do with this ring?"

He Chenguang shook his head: "I don't know about that, maybe..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the ward was suddenly kicked open!

A tall and burly figure appeared at the door with an angry look on his face. It was the chief of staff of the Langya Special Operations Brigade - Fan Tianlei.

"Qin Yuan, you've grown wings, haven't you? I asked you to carry out a mission, but you came back half dead!"

Fan Tianlei's roar made the entire ward buzz.

Qin Yuan and the other two looked at each other, wondering what illness the old man had today.

"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, we..." He Chenguang was about to explain but was rudely interrupted by Fan Tianlei.

"Report your ass! I don't want to hear your nonsense!" Fan Tianlei glared and pointed at Qin Yuan's nose and cursed, "Do you think that just because you have made a few contributions, you can ignore the leaders and do whatever you want?"

"I'm telling you, in Langya, my word is final! No matter how good you are at fighting, you have to obey my orders!"

"How did you screw up this mission? Tell me!"

Fan Tianlei became more and more excited as he spoke, his saliva flying everywhere, spraying all over Qin Yuan's face.

Qin Yuan, however, remained expressionless and said nothing.

He knew that Fan Tianlei had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. On the surface, he was scolding him, but in fact, he was worried about him.

"Chief of Staff, we were indeed careless in this mission..." Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't say anything, He Chenguang had to explain.

"Careless? You still think you can be careless?" Fan Tianlei slapped the table, shaking the teacup so much that it jumped up. "Let me ask you, before you carried out the mission, did you carefully study the target's situation?"

“Did you make a thorough plan?”

"Have you made all the necessary preparations?"

"No! You have nothing!" Fan Tianlei roared, "You are just a bunch of self-righteous idiots!"

"I thought that I could just run around recklessly and not take any opponent seriously just because I have some skills!"

"What was the result? He was beaten badly and almost lost his life!"

"Are you worthy of the honor of Langya? Are you worthy of the country's training?!"

Fan Tianlei's roar echoed in the ward like thunder.

He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing lowered their heads, feeling extremely ashamed.

Only Qin Yuan remained silent, looking at Fan Tianlei calmly, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"What? You're not convinced?" Seeing that Qin Yuan was unmoved, Fan Tianlei became even more annoyed, "Do you think I wronged you?"

"I'm telling you, while I was fighting on the battlefield, you were just playing in the mud!"

"You better tell me the truth, what exactly is this mission all about!"

Fan Tianlei walked up to Qin Yuan angrily, grabbed his collar and lifted him up from the bed.

"explain!"

Qin Yuan looked at Fan Tianlei coldly, and a hint of sarcasm suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Want to know? Beg me."

The sarcasm on Qin Yuan's lips was undisguised, and the contempt in his eyes was like a sharp knife, piercing directly into Fan Tianlei's self-esteem. The other three people present, He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped. They had never seen anyone who dared to speak to Fan Tianlei in such a tone, not to mention that this person was a "patient" lying on a hospital bed. Although Li Erniu was simple and honest, he also knew that something was wrong. He subconsciously clenched his fists, as if as long as Fan Tianlei gave an order, he would rush up and tear Qin Yuan to pieces.

Fan Tianlei was irritated by Qin Yuan's eyes. Veins popped out on his forehead, like an enraged lion, wishing to tear the "prey" in front of him into pieces. "Good boy, you are so rebellious!" He roared, and the strength in his hands increased a bit, almost lifting Qin Yuan off the bed.

"Cough cough..." Qin Yuan was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, but he still stared at Fan Tianlei stubbornly, without a trace of surrender in his eyes.

"Old Fan, that's enough!" At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and an old but majestic voice sounded. Everyone looked back and saw an old man in military uniform with a star on his shoulder walking in, followed by several serious-looking officers.

When Fan Tianlei saw the person coming, his anger subsided a little, but he still shouted indignantly: "Commander, look at this kid, he has no respect for his leader, he is committing treason, it's simply..."

"That's enough!" The old man interrupted him again, his tone full of unquestionable majesty. Fan Tianlei had no choice but to shut up and let go of Qin Yuan's collar.

Qin Yuan rubbed his neck which was sore from being strangled, sat up, and looked at the old man in front of him calmly. He knew that this old man was the highest commander of the Langya Special Operations Brigade - Commander Chen Guotao.

Commander Chen Guotao walked to Qin Yuan's bedside, looked him up and down, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He knew how dangerous Qin Yuan's mission was, and how badly he was injured. But this young man, even in the face of Fan Tianlei's anger, remained calm and composed. This kind of demeanor is not something that ordinary people can have.

"Xiao Qin, how do you feel?" Commander Chen Guotao asked gently.

"Report to the commander, I'm fine." Qin Yuan immediately sat up straight and saluted with a standard military salute.

"Yes." Commander Chen Guotao nodded, then turned to look at Fan Tianlei and said in a serious tone, "Old Fan, you went too far this time."

Fan Tianlei opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but finally held back. He knew that in front of Commander Chen Guotao, he had no room for defense.

"Xiao Qin's mission this time is top secret. You should know what this means." Commander Chen Guotao said in a heavy tone, "The enemy he faced is far more powerful and dangerous than you imagined. He is lucky to be able to come back alive."

Fan Tianlei remained silent, he knew that what Commander Chen Guotao said was true.

"I will report the details of this mission to my superiors truthfully." Commander Chen Guotao continued, "As for you, Lao Fan, go back and reflect on yourself and find out where you went wrong!"

After that, Commander Chen Guotao ignored Fan Tianlei and turned to look at Qin Yuan, with a gleam in his eyes. "Xiao Qin, you did a great job on this mission." He patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder, his tone full of praise, "Have a good rest, the country and the people will not forget your contribution."

"Yes!" Qin Yuan saluted again, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

Commander Chen Guotao nodded, and then left the ward with several officers behind him. Fan Tianlei glared at Qin Yuan fiercely, and followed him out.

Only Qin Yuan and the other two were left in the ward. He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing dared to come over and asked worriedly, "Brother Qin, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Qin Yuan shook his head, with a bitter smile on his face. "You all know Lao Fan's temper. He has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't take it to heart."

"But..." He Chenguang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Yuan.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Qin Yuan waved his hand. "There are some things I can't figure out about this mission. Can you help me analyze it?"

"What's the matter?" He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing asked in unison.

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "I feel something strange about this mission..." He told the two in detail about his doubts and the system upgrade.

After listening to Qin Yuan's story, He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing fell into deep thought.

"You mean, you suspect that this mission is a trap set for you by someone?" He Chenguang asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know." Qin Yuan shook his head, "But I always feel that things are not that simple."

"Could it be..." Wang Yanbing suddenly thought of something, but before he finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open again.

A charming female doctor in a white coat walked in, followed by two nurses pushing a medical cart.

"Qin Yuan, it's time for a check-up." The female doctor walked to Qin Yuan's bedside and spoke in a gentle tone.

Qin Yuan was slightly stunned. He looked at the beautiful female doctor in front of him and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.

"Who are you?" he asked tentatively.

The female doctor smiled slightly, revealing two charming dimples. "Why, you don't recognize me after just a few days of not seeing me?" She said, "I'm your attending physician, Li Manli."

"Li Manli..." Qin Yuan muttered the name to himself, and suddenly a flash of lightning flashed through his mind.

Wait, Li Manli?

How does this name relate to...

Before he could figure it out, Li Manli walked up to him, unbuttoned his hospital gown, revealing his strong chest.

"Don't move. I'll do an electrocardiogram for you." Li Manli said as she placed the cold stethoscope on his chest.

A strange feeling instantly spread throughout Qin Yuan's body...

While Qin Yuan was stunned, Li Manli had already unbuttoned his hospital gown skillfully, revealing his strong chest. The cold stethoscope was pressed against his chest, and a strange electric current instantly spread throughout his body.

"What are you doing?!" Wang Yanbing pushed Li Manli away. This woman was too familiar and even touched him. Did she really treat them as air?

Li Manli was pushed and staggered, almost falling down. The two young nurses behind her quickly supported her.

"Wang Yanbing, what are you doing?!" He Chenguang also realized that this woman was not right. How could a doctor undress a patient as soon as he arrived? Qin Yuan's injury had not yet healed completely!

"I, I'm here to check on him..." Li Manli explained pitifully, with tears in her eyes, which made me feel even more sorry for her.

"Is this necessary for the examination? Which department are you from? What's your name? I'll go to the nurse's station to verify it!" Wang Yanbing didn't fall for her. This woman looked like a bad person at first glance!

"I..." Li Manli stammered and was unable to speak. Her eyes were evasive and she did not dare to look directly at Wang Yanbing.

"Yanbing, forget it, let her check." Qin Yuan suddenly said. He wanted to see what this woman was trying to do.

"Brother Qin, there's something fishy about this woman. Don't be fooled by her!" Wang Yanbing stamped his feet in anxiety. Why was Brother Qin still confused?

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing." Qin Yuan gave Wang Yanbing a reassuring look, signaling him to stay calm.

Although Wang Yanbing was reluctant, he still obeyed Qin Yuan's words, stepped aside, and stared at Li Manli vigilantly.

Seeing that Qin Yuan had no intention of pursuing the matter, Li Manli secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up the stethoscope and put it back on Qin Yuan's chest.

"Take a deep breath...take another deep breath..." Li Manli said softly while listening to Qin Yuan's heartbeat, her voice so gentle that water could drip out.

Qin Yuan looked at the delicate beauty in front of him, but his heart was calm and he even wanted to laugh.

This woman's acting is so fake!

"How is it? Doctor, is my brother okay?" He Chenguang couldn't help asking after seeing Li Manli examining him for a long time.

"Well, he is recovering very well and will be discharged from the hospital in a few days." Li Manli put away the stethoscope and said with a smile, but that smile looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

"That's good, that's good." He Chenguang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Qin Yuan was fine, it would be fine.

"Then doctor, we won't disturb you anymore, just go ahead and do your work." Wang Yanbing said, and reached out to pull Li Manli.

"Ouch!" Li Manli suddenly screamed, her body tilted and fell on Qin Yuan.

"Are you okay?" Qin Yuan subconsciously supported Li Manli, but felt something warm in his palm and a faint fragrance came to his nose, which made his heart flutter.

"I, I think I sprained my foot..." Li Manli raised her head and looked at Qin Yuan pitifully, her eyes seemed to have a thousand words to say.
