ike she wanted to pounce on Xia Tian and fight him to the death. But she seemed to remember something quickly, and her tense body relaxed instantly. She glared at Xia Tian angrily: "Is this fair""I've...Chapter 1203: A Date Is Official Business

"Eldest Brother, aren't you not fond of politics" Zhao Yujie remained silent for a moment before she spoke.

"Little Rain, to me, the things I dislike, I can do even better. Since I don’t like being involved in politics, it means that I won’t get obsessed with it, and I can keep my head clear as an onlooker and thus reap the greatest benefits." Zhao Gongzi obviously had given this a lot of thought before coming to talk to her; otherwise, he wouldn't have told her this. "I don’t mind doing things that I dislike. All I hope is that you, Xiaotiao, and my other siblings can all do what you like."

"Eldest Brother, there’s no need for you to make such big sacrifices! Actually, our Zhao Family’s status is already quite solid, so you could do something you truly want to." Zhao Yujie couldn’t help but say.

"Little Rain, don't talk like this. Doing things for the family isn’t a sacrifice; it's what I should be doing." A hint of reproach was in Zhao Gongzi’s tone as he quickly softened his voice: "I’m telling you about this because there are some things that need your help."

"Eldest Brother, just tell me. If there’s anything you need from me, I’ll definitely do it." Zhao Yujie hurriedly said.

"Little Rain, I’ve already turned thirty. Starting my political career now is rather late. If I want to make a name for myself in politics, then I have to take some shortcuts," said Zhao Gongzi slowly. "However, this means that I need to leave the capital city first and might be away for three or five years, possibly even longer."

"What Eldest Brother, you’re going to leave the capital" A shock was on Zhao Yujie’s face again.

“Hmm. Little Rain, I have to go. But in at most ten years, I’ll return to the capital city, and by then, there will definitely be a place for me in politics.” Clearly, this wasn’t an impulsive decision but rather one that he had thought through carefully. “However, when I leave, I won't be able to take care of everything here myself. I'll have Xiao Zhuo replace my current position. But Xiao Zhuo is different from me; although he’s intelligent, his actions are quite ostentatious, so I’m a bit worried about him. Therefore, I hope that you can keep an eye on things for me. If you help out, then I’ll feel at ease.”

Zhao Yujī remained silent for a few seconds before asking, "Big Brother, you've already made your decision, right"

"Xiaoyu, although there are still some minor details to be worked out, I have indeed decided on this matter," Zhao Gongzi replied.

"Big Brother, even though I don't wish for you to leave the capital, since you've made your decision, I cannot change it. So, rest assured that I will take care of Xiao Zhuo properly, and there won’t be any problems here in the capital," Zhao Yujī's tone was full of confidence and determination.

"Alright then, let’s make it so." It was obvious that Zhao Gongzi had anticipated Zhao Yujī's agreement and he trusted that nothing would go wrong back in the capital. After all, there were other members of the Zhao family besides himself. Furthermore, he was certain that Xia Tian would take good care of Zhao Yujī.

The Dark Squad base.

"I thought you weren’t coming!" Mei’er huffed when she saw Xia Tian and then looked at Gu Hanchuang, "Who is she"

"Honey, this is my maid, Gu Hanchuang. You can call her Miss Frost," Xia Tian answered with a grin, before he instructed Gu Hanchuang, "Miss Frost, this lady is also my wife; you have to listen to what she says in the future, got it"

"Understood, Young Master." When Gu Hanchuang's baby voice came out, all present men and women were immediately captivated. What left them nearly fainting was when Gu Hanchuang greeted Mei’er politely, "Hello, Madam."

Mei’er froze for a moment—was this some kind of movie scene

But that doesn't make sense. Who would dare to come to the Dark Team to film a movie Wouldn't that be courting death

Summer glanced at everyone and said, "Hey, have you all learned the Thirteen Knives technique to kill God yet Those who haven't learned it should step forward now!"

No one stepped forward, clearly indicating that they had already learned it.

"Hmm, glad to hear that. Now I'll check on your skills. Pair up and find an opponent each; one of you will use this knife technique while the other won't be allowed to. Let's see how you fight."

This time, everyone immediately paired up for a big showdown, as they had already trained with Summer for two days and were familiar with his style.

"Group Leader, I can't find an opponent." A female agent quickly realized the problem; since there was an odd number of people in this training session, one person would inevitably be left without an opponent.

"I'll do it."

Mie took a step forward.

Summer shook his head and said, "Mie darling, you can't participate. This kind of thing doesn't suit you." Then he called out to another agent, "Xue, take care of this."

"Yes, Young Master," Gu Hanshuang replied, stepping forward to face the unfortunate female agent.

"Alright, get started!" Xia Tian gave the instruction, and without any hesitation, everyone began. Then, that unfortunate female agent had a miserable experience; as soon as she made her move, Gu Hanchuang slapped her away with one palm.

Xia Tian saw something was wrong and said, "Xiao Shuang, don’t retaliate, just dodge."

"Yes, Young Master," Gu Hanchuang indeed stopped retaliating, and the female agent no longer had such a miserable experience; though she couldn’t even touch Gu Hanchuang’s clothes, at least she wouldn’t be slapped away.

Three minutes later,

Xia Tian shouted, "Alright, you can stop now." You’re all still lacking in your saber techniques. Let’s continue practicing today."

The group was momentarily disheartened, but Meiyu couldn’t help but ask, "You only watched half the people's saber techniques; how do you know everyone is doing poorly"

"Wife Meiyu, actually, it’s quite simple. Although I only observed half of them using their saber techniques, the other half have also learned saber techniques and will naturally defend based on what they’ve learned. So even though I watched only half of you, in reality, I can see everyone's learning situation with regard to saber techniques." Xia Tian explained.

Meiyu thought about it and found that Xia Tian’s words seemed to have some logic behind them, so she didn’t say anything further.

"Alright, you all continue practicing. I will go on a date with my wife Meiyu." Xia Tian said again, then took Meiyu's delicate hand in his and walked off with her.

"It's not a date!" Mei'er couldn't help but refute, "It's business!"

"That's right, our date is business," Xia Tian casually continued her sentence.

Mei'er originally wanted to argue further, but then she recalled that arguing with this guy was pointless and simply gave up on the effort.

Today’s activities were similar to what Xia Tian had done yesterday; another batch of retired special agents from the Dark Team were brought here for treatment. Xia Tian repeatedly felt that there were more than a usual number of mental cases in the Dark Team, as he had treated several yesterday and today still had around ten patients, which seemed to require setting up a psychiatric hospital just for them.

However, the total number of patients today was slightly less than yesterday's count, so naturally, Xia Tian spent less time. Unlike yesterday when he faced a group of mental cases all day long, Mei'er occasionally appeared today and Gu Hanchuang, this pretty maid, remained by his side.

The entire day, Gu Hanchuang kept an indifferent attitude, resembling a puppet was not far from the truth, though she still had some differences from one. She seemed like a highly realistic android, looking exactly like a real person with speech and movement abilities, but seemingly devoid of any emotions.

Before six o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Tian completed today's task just as he was about to head for the cafeteria for dinner, Mei'er brought another person, someone familiar—Yan Fei, that guy who had half a hand missing yesterday.

"I thought you were not going to get treated," seeing Yan Fei, Xia Tian looked somewhat displeased, "Hey, have you made up your mind how to treat it Should I find another hand for grafting or let the hand grow back naturally"

"Sorry, Doctor Xia. After a lot of thought, I believe letting my hand regrow is better, even if it takes longer. My hand has been missing for several years already; waiting another year or two isn’t much of an issue," Yan Fei finally made up his mind, "Though grafting would be faster, I think no matter what, it won't be my own hand in the end. Using it afterward will always feel strange."

"That's true. Once you graft someone else's hand onto yours, when you touch your wife later on, it'll actually be that other person’s hand doing the touching." Xia Tian casually remarked.

Miaomiao immediately gave Xia Tian a glare; what kind of nonsense was he talking about

"Thank you, Dr. Xia, for understanding my feelings." Yan Fei appeared to wholeheartedly empathize with him, as he felt that grafting someone else's hand onto his would create psychological barriers for him in the future.

"Stop chitchatting and let me treat you first; this is going to take a while," Xia Tian said, not wanting to waste time.

"Alright then. Thank you very much, Dr. Xia." Yan Fei was quite polite and also somewhat excited.

This treatment indeed took a long time—nearly an hour of Xia Tian's efforts. During this hour, he continuously used silver needles on the half arm that survived. Limb regeneration was incredibly difficult in many ways; it was even more challenging than reviving the dead because it involved reactivating bones and muscles that had already stopped growing to make them regrow gradually. By normal standards of medical practice, such a feat would be impossible.

However, Xia Tian's medical skills could not be judged by conventional standards. After finishing his acupuncture treatment, he gave Yan Fei two prescriptions: "Take these prescribed medicines according to the formulas provided; boil one and take it internally twice daily, while crushing the other into a paste for external application, changing it once per day. Remember this well—it's very important. Don't forget."

Naturally, Yan Fei took all of this in with great care; how could he possibly forget something so crucial

However, when he wanted to thank Xia Tian, he found that the handsome doctor had already left with his beautiful wife and cute maid-servant. His other beautiful wife was waiting for them to eat together.g Jie.
