Chapter 184: Misguided Matchmaking (4th Update)

"Fatty, you've finally revealed your true colors. It wasn't in vain that I played along with you for so long."

Zhou Lang moved, and the Fat Doctor only felt a blur before his eyes; he had already lost his target.

"I'm behind you."

By now, Zhou Lang was already behind the Fat Doctor, tapping him on the back of his head.

The Fat Doctor was terrified and immediately turned around.

Bang!

Greeting the Fat Doctor was an iron fist.

Although Zhou Lang didn't use much force, it was still more than the Fat Doctor could handle. After taking a punch from Zhou Lang, the guy immediately saw stars, felt the world spinning, and then slowly collapsed, falling unconscious to the ground.

Zhou Lang took out his phone and called Director Sun Yongkang to report the crime.

Upon hearing from Zhou Lang that he had apprehended a murder suspect, Director Sun Yongkang immediately led a team over in person. Since even Vice Mayor Yan Jialin had been toppled by Zhou Lang, he knew exactly how much power Zhou Lang wielded. He secretly felt relieved that he had listened to Zhou Lang back then and truthfully reported the incident at Lovers Bar to Secretary Lei Gang. If he had picked the wrong side back then, helping Xiao Keming instead of Zhou Lang, he would likely have been implicated in this political upheaval.

The Fat Doctor was soon taken to the Municipal Police Bureau. When Director Sun Yongkang was making the arrest, Zhou Lang reminded him that the damn fatty seemed to be wearing a mask and wasn't showing his true Face.

After taking the fatty back and investigating, Chief Sun removed the mask from his Face and discovered the truth: this fat man was actually a killer who had been wanted by the police for several years and had disappeared.

After being wanted by the police back then, this guy had made a very sophisticated human-skin mask to wear, changed his identity, and became a doctor.

Over the years, no one had truly discovered his real identity.

However, this guy was truly unlucky; if he hadn't fallen for Zhu Yan and taken the initiative to threaten Zhou Lang, he certainly wouldn't have been discovered as a murderer wanted by the police.

Under police interrogation, the fatty couldn't even hold out for an hour before confessing everything.

After the interrogation, Chief Sun called Zhou Lang to report the situation and thanked him for catching this wanted murderer.

After returning to the Violet Apartment, Zhou Lang called Zhu Yan again.

Li Mengxue's crisis had been resolved, but to reassure her, he still kept Xiao Xi there to protect her. At this moment, he was the only one in the rented apartment.

"Brother Lang, what is it?" Zhu Yan asked over the phone; her voice sounded a bit shy.

"The Fat Doctor from your hospital was arrested by the police," Zhou Lang said. "He is a wanted murderer."

"The fattest person in the hospital is Dr. Fu," Zhu Yan said, sounding somewhat skeptical. "How could he be a murderer? Isn't there some mistake?"

"Because this fatty saw that I was close to you, he stopped me at the hospital entrance to attack me. He had Killing Intent on him, and he was wearing a mask, so I knew he had issues. Because he liked you, I was afraid he would hurt you, so I apprehended him and handed him over to the police. After the police interrogated him, they really did find that this fatty had violent tendencies. He killed a total of eight people; five were women he liked but who rejected him, and three were imagined romantic rivals," Zhou Lang said.

"He really is a murderer?" Zhu Yan suddenly felt a lingering fear. "I remember a few times when I worked late and was heading home, he silently followed me for a distance before leaving."

At the time, she thought the Fat Doctor was just following her because he liked her, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Since there were many male doctors in the hospital who had a crush on her, it wasn't the first time that a man had silently followed her to see her off.

But thinking back on it now, the Fat Doctor really did have a motive for committing crimes. However, she felt Zhou Lang's care for her, and her heart felt warm.

"The police should be notifying your hospital about this matter shortly," Zhou Lang said.

"Brother Lang, thank you." Zhu Yan felt even more favorably towards Zhou Lang. In her world, her father was of utmost importance, and Zhou Lang had brought hope to her father, so she developed a special feeling for Zhou Lang.

As work was about to end, the police really did send people to the City Peoples Hospital to inform the hospital that the Fat Doctor was a wanted murderer.

Of course, Zhou Lang requested that the police not reveal that he was the one who discovered the Fat Doctor had issues. Therefore, the hospital doctors didn't understand how this murderer, who had been hiding in the hospital for years, was discovered. They certainly didn't believe the police had such formidable investigative capabilities, because almost everyone in the hospital had once thought they knew the Fat Doctor well; they had never imagined the Fat Doctor was some kind of murderer.

"Brother Lang really is a mysterious man; no kind of scumbag can hide from him. If one could have such a man as a pillar of support, that would be truly blissful."

The other doctors were shocked by the incident, but only Zhu Yan felt ripples in her heart. She wasn't young anymore, and she had reached the age of romantic longing. Previously, she had to worry about her father Zhu Qingshan's legs, but now that his legs had hope of recovery, her mood had improved significantly, and she had time to consider romance.

The next morning, Zhu Yan drove to pick up Zhou Lang to treat her father, Zhu Qingshan.

After taking the medicine prescribed by Zhou Lang for a week, Zhu Qingshan's legs had improved a lot. Although he still couldn't get out of bed to walk, the atrophy of his muscles and Meridians had recovered significantly, and he could already perform some movements with his legs.

Zhou Lang performed Acupuncture on Zhu Qingshan again.

In the afternoon, Zhu Yan taught Zhou Lang how to drive as previously agreed.

Zhou Lang's learning ability was simply monstrous. Including this time, it was only his second time learning to drive, but he could already drive. If he took the driving test, he would be able to buy a car.

In the evening, Zhu Yan drove, and she and Zhou Lang returned home together.

"Brother Lang, your Medical Skills are truly miraculous. After you left yesterday, the doctors in our hospital were all discussing it."

Zhu Yan said while driving, "Especially our director; when he learned that you agreed to be a specially appointed doctor at our hospital, he was as happy as a child, practically jumping up!"

"Do you want to learn my Medical Skills?" Zhou Lang asked.

"Of course I want to learn, but your Medical Skills must be secret techniques not to be passed on," Zhu Yan said, blushing. "Back when I tried to seduce you in the elevator, you wouldn't teach me."

"They aren't exactly secret techniques, but my Medical Skills aren't something just anyone can learn," Zhou Lang said. "Because my Medical Skills are based on True Qi. If one isn't a martial artist and hasn't Cultivated True Qi, my Acupuncture and massage techniques, etc., are hard to make effective. But come to think of it, when you were seducing me, it was truly heart-stirring. That day in the elevator, I almost really molested you."

Zhu Yan didn't dare to respond to Zhou Lang's words. She was a year or two older than Zhou Lang, but in reality, she was very thin-skinned, especially when it came to romantic matters.

Dinner was very sumptuous; Zhu Yan cooked a full eight dishes.

Zhou Lang carried Zhu Qingshan out, and the three of them ate dinner together in the living room, even having a little wine; it was very harmonious.

"Little Zhou, it's getting late. Don't leave tonight; stay at our home." After dinner, Zhou Lang said goodbye, but Zhu Qingshan said this.

"Uncle, I still have to go back. The weather is hot, and I haven't showered yet," Zhou Lang said.

"Little Zhou, I know you are our daughter's boyfriend. This old man's way of thinking still keeps up with the times. Since you are in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, don't be so reserved. You didn't bring clothes; just have Xiao Yan go outside and buy you a set later. There is a supermarket just a few hundred meters away. To be honest, I really like you, young man. Even if you stay together tonight, this old man won't say anything."

But unexpectedly, Zhu Qingshan said this. He had always thought Zhou Lang was his daughter Zhu Yan's boyfriend. Zhou Lang had treated his legs wholeheartedly, and he had taken a liking to Zhou Lang at first sight, so he started playing matchmaker.

"Dad, what are you spouting nonsense about? Brother Lang and I are just ordinary friends," Zhu Yan said, blushing. If her father really kept Zhou Lang here, how would she and Zhou Lang sleep?

"Xiao Yan, you are just thin-skinned. Previously, you didn't look for a boyfriend because you wanted to take care of me. Now that my legs are on the verge of recovery, you can date and prepare for marriage and children."

"From the first time I saw Zhou Lang, I knew you two were already a couple. Otherwise, would he be so dedicated to treating my legs without charging a single cent?"

Zhou Lang wanted to say a few words to explain, but Zhu Qingshan grabbed Zhou Lang's hand and said, "Little Zhou, if you don't stay here tonight, that's not giving this uncle Face."

"Uncle, I'll listen to you; I won't leave." Zhou Lang had no choice but to nod.

Zhu Yan's Face turned even redder, but she didn't say anything, instead quietly getting up to buy clothes for Zhou Lang.

About twenty minutes later, Zhu Yan returned with a set of clothes for Zhou Lang: a simple T-shirt, cropped pants, and a pair of black underwear.

At this point, Zhou Lang had already sent Zhu Qingshan back to his bedroom, and only the two of them were left in the living room.

"Brother Lang, I'm sorry. My father hopes I find a pillar of support soon, so he thinks we are a couple and is playing matchmaker," Zhu Yan said, somewhat awkwardly.

"It's nothing; making the elder happy is a good thing," Zhou Lang said. "How about I sleep in the living room?"

"Don't… Brother Lang. If my father knew I let you sleep on the living room sofa, he would definitely scold me to death. Don't look at how much he dotes on me; if I anger him, he can be quite fierce sometimes."

Zhu Yan said quickly, but as soon as she thought about sharing a room with Zhou Lang tonight, she felt flushed. One had to know that when Zhou Lang kissed her yesterday afternoon, her heart rate had accelerated significantly, and she had been thinking about that incident the entire afternoon while at work.

She remembered when she tried to seduce Zhou Lang in the elevator to get him to teach her Medical Skills, and felt it was absurd. In reality, she was a relatively shy girl, but to cure her father's legs, she was willing to do anything.

"It looks like we can only sleep in the same room tonight," Zhou Lang smiled slightly. "Your father is really something, sending such a beautiful woman into my arms."

"Brother Lang, let's go to the bedroom then." Zhu Yan's Face turned even redder, and she walked towards the bedroom.
