Chapter 301: Chapter 301
Chu River thought: I figured it out.
Back in the day, didn’t she have quite the fan base across the entire Star Sea? Men and women, there were plenty who eagerly offered themselves to her.
But there was no need to exchange contact information.
Fang Zhou was right, you do things suited to your identity, and with her current status, interacting too much with ordinary people had no advantages.
Especially since she was walking openly in the light.
Therefore, facing the expectant expressions of the two people, she refused without hesitation:
"Sorry, work hours, please do not disturb."
Originally, she thought the two would give up, but she didn’t expect them to exchange a glance and still have the courage to try: "Then what time do you get off, Miss? We have a few hours to kill during our layover here!"
She had underestimated the persistence of the Mountain and Sea Star People.
Just as she was frowning, ready to refuse, a faint whiff of chemicals floated to her nose, and without another word, she took two steps forward, placing a hand on the shoulder of the man in front——
"Excuse me, could you please come with me?"
Her gaze swept around, memorizing the faces of two people who quickly ducked away.
But she said nothing, swiftly leading the person into the quarantine area.
The man she grabbed looked bewildered: "What’s going on? What’s going on? I haven’t had my boarding pass checked yet?"
He was holding a small suitcase with an arm in a brace, looking utterly ordinary, without any particular features.
Seeing someone brought in, the two colleagues in charge of registration immediately tensed up.
"It’s nothing," Chu River inspected the man before her, noting his subtle expressions, and then her voice softened a bit——
"Register him, find out where the brace on his hand was put on. Also, get a doctor to remove and replace the material inside, and let him board after it’s changed."
She gathered her spiritual power and, in a rare moment of good cheer, patted the man’s shoulder and comforted him: Orıginal content can be found at novᴇlfire.net
"It’s alright, the brace is just poorly set, once redone you’re free to move."
The middle-aged man’s legs went weak——
I don’t believe it!!!
If it’s just improperly set, why not take me to the medical room?!
And from someone in uniform?!
With everything wrapped up so tightly, how can you just take one look and say it’s wrong?
With a thousand thoughts rushing through his mind, seeing everyone so on edge, he dared not move.
The middle-aged man stood trembling, trying hard to recall any unintentional crimes he might have committed over the years, even thinking about his Huabei bill——
However, Chu River had already taken a step back, standing to the side.
The airport medical staff were quickly called over, examining the brace on his hand and feeling puzzled.
"This technique is quite skillful, there’s nothing wrong."
"It’s fine, you take it apart, if there’s an issue I’ll be responsible," Chu River said confidently.
The medical staff nodded, alright, they could always reassemble it after taking it apart, they had materials here, it wouldn’t matter.
It’s just a brace, nothing too technical.
But the two colleagues, knowing Chu River’s reputation, even without having witnessed her, appeared solemn.
"Sir, could you please present your identification and boarding pass?"
"Please inform us in detail about the circumstances regarding the brace on your hand."
The middle-aged man, almost in tears, trembling, handed over his ID and boarding pass while earnestly repenting.
"I know fighting is wrong, it was just a moment of impulse, and I got hurt myself, didn’t even blackmail anyone for money..."
Babbling on, clearly very nervous——
"The hospital told me to change the brace later, I didn’t want to go to the hospital and ruin my luck after getting too into playing cards that day, happened to know someone, he just changed it for me—— my arm’s almost healed, changing it, he didn’t have a license, is that alright?"
He thought about it and couldn’t blame someone else, so he stammered and added.
"Maybe not, he’s a professional in this, carries a medical kit, must have a license... just no need to show me..."
After rambling on for a while, he couldn’t get to the point, furtively watched the doctor dismantle the brace, as if explosives were hidden within.
Chu River got a bit impatient, tapping on the wall with a finger: "Get to the point. Where is that doctor friend of yours from? What’s his name, what does he look like, how old is he? How did you meet?"
The middle-aged man gulped and, cautiously looking at her, replied: "We met at the teahouse in our neighborhood, you know, a teahouse where we play mahjong... known each other for a long time, he looks quite fierce, has a round scar from the corner of his mouth to his chin, people call him Brother Wolf..."
