Chapter 88 Is this a compliment?
When Jiang Chuan woke up, it was already daylight.

When Jiang Chuan opened his eyes... the scene felt just like that morning after the 80-kilometer ordeal in hell.

Chen Xingyang sat on the edge of the bed next to his and looked at him.

Chen Xingyang said, "He's awake."

Jiang Chuan nodded, sat up, and stretched.

I thought I would be in a lot of pain, but I actually felt refreshed.

Apart from the various bloodstains on my body still throbbing slightly, I am in even better condition than before.

He moved his arms with a slight surprise, feeling completely refreshed.

Chen Xingyang looked at him and said, "You're recovering well."

Jiang Chuan chuckled. He could also see that Chen Xingyang's condition was much worse than his own. His entire body was wrapped in bandages, and the bandage marks could even be seen through his blue shirt.

Compared to Captain Chen, my little injury feels like nothing.

Although I don't know what happened to Captain Chen yesterday, I can guess a little.

After all, he and Captain Chen were the only two venturing into danger alone, and his situation was extremely critical. If it weren't for the breakthrough in his mental strength and flow state during the battle, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

Therefore, it can be inferred that the situation of Captain Chen is the same.

Feeling the same way, Jiang Chuan blurted out, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Chen."

Chen Xingyang shook his head: "It was my fault for putting you in danger yesterday."

"I misjudged their preparations."

"I never imagined that so many patients and doctors would get infected."

Jiang Chuan had expected that Captain Chen would praise him, encourage him, or promise him some rewards, but he never imagined that Captain Chen would say these things to him with apology.

He smiled, shook his head, and said, "Captain Chen, no matter what, I am also a member of the inspection team."

"I can't accept a salary without doing something in return. I have to do something to feel at ease taking this salary."

Chen Xingyang was also taken aback, then nodded: "Good attitude."

But actually, he was waiting here not simply to say these things to Jiang Chuan, but because he didn't know how to bring up what he really wanted to say.

However, seeing that Jiang Chuan seemed to be in a good mood, Chen Xingyang hesitated for a moment before deciding to speak:
"Jiang Chuan, Liu Yuyu has woken up."

"Do you want to go and see it?"

Chen Xingyang still vividly remembers what Jiang Chuan and Zhao Tianyu said yesterday.

Although Liu Yuyu was clearly under the influence of drugs, he still felt it was necessary to discuss this matter with Jiang Chuan.

Perhaps Jiang Chuan also has something he wants to say to Liu Yuyu.

Jiang Chuan was also taken aback for a moment, seriously considering what Captain Chen had said.

But in the end, he shook his head and said:
"forget it."

"There's no cure for Teacher Liu's medication, so there's no point in me going there; it'll only cause her more trouble..."

"Even if we're going to say something, shouldn't we wait until she's freed from control?"

Chen Xingyang nodded: "A very rational choice."

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "There is one more thing."

"You have the day off today."

"Cao Zhigang and Cao Zhiqiang were in charge of suppressing those who went mad, and many of your classmates were also placed in positions of power."

"So I'm taking a day off today."

"The course has been postponed."

Jiang Chuan nodded: "As expected."

Chen Xingyang smiled and then walked out of the ward: "You should get some rest today."

"The merit you have made this time is even greater than the previous two times."

"I will write the report truthfully."

"The Qin Dahai case last time and the Zhao Tianyu case this time should be combined and jointly rewarded."

"Get ready."

He pushed open the door as he spoke.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back:

"By the way, Jiang Chuan."

Do you know what Wu Qingqing thought of you back then?

Jiang Chuan remembered that beautiful, mature woman, Sister Wu, who had taken him out to eat several times, and he was also very curious:
"What did you say?"

Chen Xingyang said, "She said you're a bit clever."

Jiang Chuan sighed helplessly: "A little cleverness?"

"Is this a compliment?"

Chen Xingyang laughed and said, "It's okay, you've already proven yourself."

Whether it's cleverness or not isn't something for others to judge.

"This mess surrounding Zhao Yongxuan's family..."

"The role you play in this is crucial."

"Ashamed to say..."

"I don't even want to think about what our inspection team would be like now without you."

"..."

He paused here, then changed the subject:
"Take a good rest today. If you have nothing to do, come and visit the inspection team."

"I need to show you around."

Jiang Chuan was also taken aback, feeling that Captain Chen's attitude towards him was even better than usual.

Previously, I always took the opportunity to study, including visiting Qin Dahai's home and observing interrogations in the interrogation room...

However, there are still some subtle differences between then and now.

Now, it seems he really considers me a confidant.

Jiang Chuan nodded: "Okay."

"Thank you, Captain Chen."

……

……

Jiang Chuan returned to his dormitory room 4301.

Back here, he finally felt much more at ease.

The bloodshed was finally averted.

And I can say that I have made a breakthrough in this disaster.

Now, Jiang Chuan can enter a state of flow at any time, and his mental strength has reached the first threshold, enabling him to "retrieve objects from a distance".

However, Jiang Chuan felt that his ability to retrieve objects remotely was somewhat extraordinary.

If someone moves a paperclip or a staple, it's considered approved.

And I swung a 150-160 pound adult flying... Does this mean that my mental strength talent is indeed stronger?
Thinking this, he couldn't help but frown: "Am I progressing a little too fast? Will there be any problems?"

"It should be fine. After all, Brother Li said I have a bright future and it's only natural that I should make rapid progress."

He sat in front of the computer and habitually opened the game.

But looking at the game interface that he was so familiar with he was sick of it... he paused for a moment, and then closed the game interface.

Now that I've mastered the flow state, the game... is no longer necessary.

After closing the game interface, he opened the short video app.

My original intention in turning on the computer was to begin studying "Lecture 2 of Mental Power".

But before searching for "Mental Power Lecture 2", he opened his video playback history.

Open your history and you'll find that you've already taken many courses.

"An Introduction to Mental Power," "An Introduction to Dreams," "Understanding the Mohist Mechanical Arts," "Essential Disguise Techniques for Wandering the Martial World," "The Application of Feng Shui in Daily Life," "Counter-Reconnaissance Training in the Ming Dynasty," "A Brief Introduction to Equestrian Skills in the Yuan Dynasty," "A List of Abilities of Foreign Awakened Individuals," "Machine Repair Begins with Vehicle Maintenance"...

Looking at all these things, Jiang Chuan was also a little moved:

"This knowledge..."

"They've learned a lot of miscellaneous things."

The Mohist mechanical arts, disguise techniques, counter-surveillance, horsemanship... all featured here.

Jiang Chuan felt that he might never need it in his lifetime.

The matter concerning foreign awakened individuals is rather interesting... but as for repairing the car?

Jiang Chuan felt it was useless.

When the time comes, you just need to know how to drive; you don't need to know how to fix cars, right?
However, he was not opposed to any of these things. Just as he had thought before, it's always good to have more skills. Life is a long journey, and you might be able to use them someday.
Boom boom boom!
Just as he was about to begin searching for the second lecture on mental power... there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Chuan wondered who would be knocking on the door at this hour.

But he quickly closed the short video app, stood up, and went to open the door.

Upon opening the door, they were surprised to find Li Yi standing there.

"..."

She was wearing the same little white dress she wore during the smart lock incident, and her hair was casually styled in a bun. It looked very homey, but it made her look even prettier.

There are still some faint, pinkish scars on my fair forearm, but they have begun to heal now.

Jiang Chuan looked at her, somewhat surprised: "I thought you all went outside to coordinate the operation..."

Li Yi shook her head: "Those who are injured don't need to go."

"Teacher Cao said that once you wake up today, if there's anything I can help you with, I can take care of you."

"I heard you open the door... so I came over."

Jiang Chuan suddenly felt that Cao Zhigang's image had become much taller and more imposing.

However, if nothing's wrong, then nothing's wrong; he wouldn't pretend to be seeking special treatment.

Jiang Chuan shook his head:

"No need for care."

"I'm fine, I recovered quite well last night..."

"I fainted yesterday, most likely because I was too tired."

Looking at Jiang Chuan's nonchalant demeanor, Li Yi felt that he was completely different from the ruthless and violent person he had been yesterday.

Just as she was hesitating about what to say next, Jiang Chuan spoke first:

"You came to save me yesterday..."

"Thank you."

Of course we should thank them; Li Yi came all by herself yesterday.

At that time, the figure that emerged from behind the crowd gave Jiang Chuan a tremendous boost of motivation for no apparent reason.

Li Yi calmly replied, "You're welcome."

Li Yi could also see that Jiang Chuan was in good spirits and his injuries were similar to hers, just superficial wounds, so she was relieved.

"take a good rest."

"You can message me if anything comes up."

Jiang Chuan nodded and watched Li Yi return to her dormitory.

As soon as Li Yi entered the room, before Jiang Chuan could even close the door, he saw that room 4303 was slightly ajar, and a pair of eyes were peeking out from behind the door.

Song Xi looked around and saw Jiang Chuan standing at the door. Her eyes lit up, and she pushed open the door and ran over quickly.

She wasn't wearing pigtails today; instead, her hair was loose, and she wobbled up to Jiang Chuan in her slippers, giving him a once-over.
"Brother Chuan!"

"Are you alright!?"

Jiang Chuan was taken aback: "Why are you calling me Brother Chuan now?"

Song Xi was also taken aback: "That's what Liang Cheng calls him."

"I also think it sounds quite natural."

Aren't you older than me?

Before Jiang Chuan could speak, Song Xi shoved a large bag into his hands:

"for you!"

Jiang Chuan looked closely and realized that the large bag in his hand was a plastic bag filled with all sorts of snacks.

Before Jiang Chuan could react, Song Xi pulled something else out of her pocket.

"This cookie is hard to digest, you... it's better if you don't eat it..."

She was quite generous and extravagant, but staring at that huge bag of snacks, she felt a little pained.

Jiang Chuan noticed Song Xi's gaze, laughed, and tried to hand the snacks back to Song Xi.

But Song Xi waved her hand and quickly stepped back:

"Don't mention it! Please eat!"

"I still have some!"

"If it's not enough, just ask me for more!"

After saying that, she ran back to her 4303 without looking back.

Jiang Chuan looked at the large bag of snacks, noting the variety and quantity—even more than what they had taken out when they were drinking that day…

He was somewhat moved, accepted Song Xi's kindness, and closed the door.

However, just as he entered the door, he felt his phone suddenly vibrate.

Jiang Chuan was taken aback.

For no apparent reason, he felt a little nervous.

Could it be that Shen Jing is here to warn me again?
He took out his phone and turned on the screen with a serious expression.

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the letter.

[This is Li Yu. Come to the inspection team. I'll be waiting for you in the interrogation room over here.]
