After receiving Dai Li's affirmative answer, the rest of the things became easy for Qu Yan.

With the introduction of his direct supervisor, he met the head of the department.

This top leader had heard of Qu Yan before. When he saw Qu Yan coming this time, the leader warmly welcomed him and personally made a cup of tea for him.

"I had planned to visit you in the hospital, but I was suddenly dispatched to supervise a case out of town. When I came back from the case, I heard you were discharged."

"Thank you for your concern and for thinking of me." Qu Yan took the teacup flattered and quickly sat up straight.

"Everyone, relax. Today isn't your performance review meeting," the top leader said with a kind face. Guan asked about his health. "You've recovered. Are you still feeling unwell?"

"Thanks to you, I'm almost fully recovered now. I've been doing rehabilitation recently. I'll go to the hospital for two more checkups next month, and I'll basically be done with treatment."

The top leader listened and nodded.

It is not difficult to tell from Qu Yan's current expression that he has recovered very well both physically and mentally, and is exactly the same as Qu Yan before the accident.

The top leader breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been hanging on his mind for a long time.

He chatted with Qu Yan's direct supervisor: "I can't believe how far medical technology has come these days, to the point where we can even create bionic organs and limbs."

If we hadn't seen Qu Yan's previous appearance, who would have believed that he could recover to his current level?

People who don’t know the truth don’t dare to connect the current Qu Yan with the previous Qu Yan.

My direct supervisor echoed the sentiment: "When I first received the document from the Disability Assistance Team, I thought it was a prank, accidentally sent to me. Later, they called me personally to discuss the situation and shared a number of successful cases. Honestly, even though I secured the spot for Qu Yan, I didn't have high hopes for the outcome."

At that time, not to mention him, all of Qu Yan's colleagues, including Qu Yan and his wife, were holding the mentality of trying everything possible.

It was not until the first stage of surgery was completed and the repair effect was seen that they began to look forward to the final surgical results.

The top leader said: "The disability assistance team has done an excellent job. Thanks to the development of medical technology, they have not only saved one person, but also saved an entire family."

My direct supervisor said: "The higher-ups are very supportive of this project and have allocated funds. In the future, more and more people will be able to receive assistance."

While the leaders were speaking, Qu Yan was not anxious and sat upright in his chair.

After the top leader finished chatting, he thought of Qu Yan again.

"I also heard that you often have nightmares. Is it getting better now?"

"No, I've been sleeping well every night lately. I haven't had a single nightmare and I can sleep through the night every day."

The top leader was a little surprised. He had seen many cases of post-traumatic stress disorder like Qu Yan. Many people had milder symptoms than Qu Yan, but they all needed a long time to treat, and nightmares were likely to accompany them for the rest of their lives.

It is a miracle that Qu Yan could recover so quickly.

It just proves how strong his willpower is.

No words could express the joy of the top leader at this moment. He gave Qu Yan a thumbs up.

“Good job!”

Qu Yan smiled and told the truth: "Actually, it's all thanks to the sleep machine that Teacher Dai gave me."

"Teacher Dai?"

"The bionic organ used in my surgery was developed by her company, and it seems that she is the main person in charge." Qu Yan was not clear about Dai Li's main position. He only knew that she was the person who connected with the hospital, communicated with them about the patients, and formulated the surgical plan.

"After she knew about my mental condition, she brought me a sleep machine."

Qu Yan shared with the two leaders his experience of using the sleep monitor, the physical changes after using it, and his mental state afterwards.

The two leaders showed great interest: "I heard it sound so useful, I want to give it a try."

Seeing that the time was right, Qu Yan slowly turned the topic to Han Yu.

"Because I felt the effect of the sleep monitor, I thought I couldn't be the only one using it. So I asked Teacher Dai if I could increase the value of the sleep monitor a little bit so that Han Yu could use it when he gets addicted, so that he wouldn't suffer so much."

My direct supervisor said, "That's a good idea. By the time Han Yu wakes up, the discomfort will have passed."

Qu Yan: "But Teacher Dai said no, the sleep monitor can't help Han Yu. It can't help him get rid of his drug addiction, and it's not safe to increase the value."

The top leader didn't say anything. It was he who chose Han Yu from among many people.

Han Yu did an excellent job as an undercover agent, and he was glad that he had not chosen the wrong person.

Similarly, he felt full of guilt towards Han Yu.

If it weren't for him, Han Yu would have a better life now and he would have more choices.

Rather than saying that Han Yu’s current condition is solely caused by the drug dealer, it is more accurate to say that he also has a share of the blame.

He lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking with a frown on his face.

Finally, he let out a heavy breath.

"I'm sorry for him."

Qu Yan: "You have never done anything wrong to him, and he has never blamed you."

No matter how dangerous the mission is, someone still needs to do it. If it’s not Han Yu, it will be Zhang Yu or Li Yu.

If drug dealers are allowed to run rampant, it will be the general public who will suffer and more families will be torn apart.

Since Han Yu accepted the task, it means that it was his own choice and he did not feel that anyone had wronged him.

"I would rather he resent me than carry such a heavy burden in his heart."

"Don't blame yourself so much. We still have a chance to help him get rid of his drug addiction and live a normal life from now on."

"Our help is extremely limited. Ultimately, it depends on his own willpower to get through the most difficult one or two years."

The top leader trusts Han Yu very much and firmly believes that he will not use drugs again after successfully quitting. However, no one can share the pain of the withdrawal process with him.

There is also the damage to his brain caused by drugs, which is irreversible.

Qu Yan: "I may have found a way to make Han Yu's withdrawal process less painful."

The top leader: "Will there be any? Tell me what method you can use."

After getting into the topic, Qu Yan became more energetic.

"This is the main reason I came to see Director Liang. I went to see Teacher Dai before. After learning about Han Yu's situation, she already has a way to help Han Yu. She wants to help Han Yu quit drugs painlessly and effectively. But she needs to talk to you first and get your support."

"Are you sure? Is she really capable of that?"

Qu Yan: "Teacher Dai can make bionic organs. The painkillers and hemostatic machines I used during surgery, including the sleep monitor I just mentioned, are all made by her company."

Direct supervisor: "Director Liang, why don't you leave this matter to me? I'll be responsible for talking to that Teacher Dai that Qu Yan mentioned."

The top leader took a last puff of his cigarette thoughtfully, then pressed the butt into the ashtray.

"Go and do your thing. I'll take care of this matter. I'll go and find out the situation myself."

He deliberately set aside half a day and, under Qu Yan's guidance, visited Dai Li's company.

He came here mainly to learn about the details. Even if a cooperative relationship is confirmed, it will definitely be a long time before the actual implementation.

What he didn't expect was that Dai Li had already finished the work as soon as he arrived.

Director Liang looked at Qu Yan silently, suspecting that this act of beheading first and reporting later was planned by Qu Yan and Dai Li.

Qu Yan is innocent and he is also unaware of the situation. How can Teacher Dai be so efficient?

Dai Li called a metal patch similar to a plaster a withdrawal device.

"It works by stimulating the brain, allowing it to secrete amino compounds like phenolphthalein through the pituitary gland, regulating a person's mental state, relieving joint and muscle pain, and allowing people to independently experience pleasure."

“And during withdrawal treatment, withdrawal medication is no longer necessary.”

Current withdrawal treatments do not involve forced drug withdrawal, but rather substitution therapy through opioid compounds, which have both agonist and antagonist activities and can effectively relieve and control addiction symptoms.

Such medicinal effects will definitely cause certain harm to the human body.

Therefore, Dai Li chose a plan that does not require the use of stage drugs, which can minimize the harm of opioids to the human body.

Director Liang looked at her carefully with his hands behind his back, then looked up at Dai Li and asked a series of questions.

"You mean this iron tablet can cause people to automatically secrete dopamine? How much is secreted each time, and how can it be controlled? How can dopamine be obtained after stopping use? Will the user become dependent on your withdrawal device?"

Dai Li: "Let me explain first. The withdrawal device does not stimulate the brain to secrete phenolphthalein. Instead, it regulates the pituitary gland, prompting it to start working normally, so that the body can secrete dopamine instinctively when it needs it. No matter what time, the withdrawal device will not give even the slightest dopamine reward."

After listening to this, Director Liang did not express his opinion immediately, but instead pondered the feasibility of the idea.

Qu Yan, however, had great expectations for this and felt it was very necessary to give it a try. He closely observed Director Liang's reaction.

After a long while, Director Liang finally spoke: "You explained it very clearly, and I understand your overall thinking. Your idea is very advanced and may be a good solution, but I dare not give it to him rashly. Whether it works or not, it will affect his current withdrawal plan."

"Director Liang!" Qu Yan was anxious. "You've only taken a look at it and haven't even seen the actual results yet. How can you reject this proposal?"

Director Liang waved his hand and told him to be patient.

He said to Dai Li, "Please allow me to be a little selfish. I don't want my subordinates to be the first to try it out. I can arrange for other people to cooperate with you. If they achieve the desired effect after trying the treatment, then let Han Yu switch to your plan."

Qu Yan: "Director Liang, this will take up a lot of time."

A course of treatment takes one or two months, and by the time other people's treatment is finished, it will be too late.

Director Liang said, "I know you're anxious, and I'm just as anxious as you are, but I can only choose the safest option and can't let Han Yu take any risks."

The energy in Qu Yan's body dissipated.

Director Liang’s words made sense. Han Yu couldn’t be the first to take the risk, but he couldn’t bear to see his old partner continue to suffer.

"Everyone has so many concerns, why not let Han Yu make his own choice." Dai Li felt that no one was qualified to make decisions for Han Yu, and Han Yu was the one who had the final say.

Qu Yan's eyes lit up.

Director Liang pondered for a moment and agreed to Dai Li's proposal.

"Let Han Yu choose for himself."

In the past ten years, Han Yu had no choice of his own. He was like a chess piece in a chess game. As a white chess piece, he had to paint himself black and hide in the black side, watching the game between black and white and accepting every move of their troops and formations.

Now is the time to put the chessboard of life back into his own hands.

Dai Li went with them to see Han Yu. Han Yu's situation was rather special, so they had to see him in person to feel at ease.

Han Yu's home is in a very bustling old alley, and the neighbors are all old acquaintances who have grown up together.

Just by looking at this environment, one can imagine how his mother endured the gossip and waited for his return here day after day during the ten years he was gone.

Director Liang's car stopped in front of Han Yu's house, but the door was closed and no one knew where Han Yu had gone.

Qu Yan called Han Yu several times, but no one answered the phone.

Director Liang found an open space in front of his house to park the car, and the three of them got out of the car.

This time, Director Liang did not change his car. He drove an unlicensed bus. As soon as his car came in, it attracted the attention of neighbors.

The thing that is most abundant in the old alleys of the city is people who love gossip.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and craned their necks to look at the police bus.

Then they began to guess why the police were looking for Han Yu.

"What has that kid from the Han family done? The police car came just a few days ago, and now they're here again."

"That kid from his family has been a bad boy since he was young. When he comes back, our place will be bustling."

"That's right. He even encouraged my Zhibin to skip classes and surf the internet. Later, I heard he got into the police academy. I thought he'd changed from then on, but he was expelled. I always say that you can tell a child's character by the age of three. Even in such a good environment like the police academy, I couldn't change his nature."

"I think Mrs. Zhou is pitiful. Her son disappeared for ten years, and she longed for him to come back, thinking that she would have a good life from now on. But unfortunately, her son is not a good person. After returning, he didn't know how to solve his personal problems. He went out every day to walk the cat and play with the dog, and made friends with some bad people. I think Mrs. Zhou will suffer a lot."

"Why aren't they leaving yet? It looks like they have to wait until Han Yu comes back."

"Why don't we go and ask the police officer what crime Han Yu committed, so that we won't be implicated in any trouble."

Several middle-aged women encouraged each other and walked up to Director Liang's car.

"Is there anything I can do for you ladies?" asked Director Liang.

They pushed and shoved each other for a while, and finally the middle-aged woman in the front spoke.

"Comrade police officer, I want to ask you something," she pointed towards Han Yu's door, "Did Han Yu commit any crime?"

A woman at the back added, "It has nothing to do with us. It shouldn't implicate us, right?"

"Ladies, you have misunderstood. He helped us a lot with a case before, and we came here specially to thank him." Director Liang now wished he could take out a banner on the spot to prove his words, but unfortunately he had nothing prepared.

Several middle-aged women seemed to have heard something strange.

"Han Yu? How can he help you? Help you catch the bad guys?"

Director Liang: "It's inconvenient to disclose the details of the case to you, but he did help us, and he's a good young man who abides by the law and will not commit any crime. Ladies, please rest assured."

"Thank you, police officer. I'm glad Han Yu didn't do anything wrong. Now we feel relieved."

"I was so worried when I saw you guys coming just now. We all watched Han Yu grow up, and I really don't want to see him make any mistakes."

After finding out the news, several middle-aged women left together again, and the topic they talked about while walking was still about Han Yu.

"How can Han Yu help the police? He's just sitting around doing nothing all day."

"They don't do serious work, but they are well-informed. They know exactly which bad guys are doing bad things and where."

"That makes sense. Even though he's just a lazy street urchin, at least he still has a conscience and knows how to contribute to social order."

Director Liang felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

He had known about Han Yu's bad reputation among the neighbors for a long time, but he was powerless to change the situation.

Han Yu’s identity cannot be made public, and he cannot be honored or awarded in a legitimate manner.

He could only allow his neighbors to make up all kinds of stories about him.

Director Liang was worried that more people would see his car and new rumors would spread, so he decided to drive the bus back and replace it with his own private car.

Dai Li and Qu Yan stayed at Han Yu's door waiting for him.

But the people around were watching them get out of the police car, and if they continued to stand at the door of Han Yu's house, there was no guarantee that they would not continue to make blind guesses.

Qu Yan suggested, "Teacher Dai, why don't we go look for him? I know a few places he likes to go to, and they're not far away."

"Let's go." It was boring to just stand there and wait, so Dai Li agreed to his suggestion.

Qu Yan first took Dai Li to find an Internet cafe. The whole place was filled with smoke and secondhand smoke. There were also several minors playing games inside. If he was not in a hurry to find Han Yu, he would have personally invited the Internet cafe owner back for tea.

After coming out of the Internet cafe, Qu Yan first called the police station and asked them to come to this illegal Internet cafe to arrest people.

Then he took Dai Li to a roller skating rink, a massage parlor, a KTV and a bar, almost all places Dai Li had never been before.

After half of the venues came out, Qu Yan called the bureau.

Dai Li kept her eyes wide open the whole time. She went in in surprise and came out with her eyes wide open.

Qu Yan said apologetically, "Teacher Dai has never been to such a shady place, right?"

Dai Li thought of the scantily clad masseuse in the massage parlor and the pair of entangled white bodies, which was indeed beyond her acceptance.

She was silent for a long time: "I have indeed broadened my horizons."

In fact, Qu Yan guessed what would happen in the massage parlor, but he didn't think straight at the time. He mistook Dai Li for the policewoman on duty with him and directly brought her in.

"I'm sorry, I was inconsiderate and scared Teacher Dai. We'll go back after we find the next billiard room."

It’s not that frightening, but it can only be said that it was a strong visual impact on Dai Li.

"Is this your daily routine?"

"It's part of daily life. There are some scenes that are even more unbearable than today, but I won't tell you about it to avoid affecting Teacher Dai's mood."

As they were talking, they arrived downstairs at the billiard room that Qu Yan mentioned.

"If he's not here, then I don't know where he would go. Teacher Dai, don't worry, there are absolutely no indecent scenes here."

This billiard room has been in disrepair for a long time. The walls are covered with black footprints and bark advertisements. The chandelier above the head flickers, adding a touch of eerie feeling to the narrow corridor.

I went up to the third floor to the billiard room, where I could hear the sound of billiard balls hitting each other and the rough cheers.

Qu Yan walked in front and pushed open the half-open door.

This billiard room is not very big and there are three billiard tables in the room.

However, there were quite a few people gathered inside, roughly forty or fifty people at a glance.

There were about ten people playing ball, and the rest were sitting around the sofa playing cards.

Qu Yan asked Dai Li to wait for him at the door and walked straight in.

He appeared here with a strange face, neatly dressed and with his back straight. This "oddball" attracted the attention of most people as soon as he appeared.

He didn't say anything, just came in and started looking for people, which naturally aroused everyone's dissatisfaction.

They stood in front of Qu Yan and stared at him with unfriendly expressions.

"Who are you?"

Each of these people looked ferocious, with either scars on their faces or Guan Gong tattoos on their arms.

Qu Yan has been dealing with this kind of people for many years and is well aware of their bad nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. If they dare to be tough with you, you must be even tougher.

"I'm here to look for someone. Is Han Yu here?"

"Yo, are you looking for Han Yu? What's the matter? Tell me first." The leader looked like a rogue.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me if Han Yu is here. If he is, ask him to come out. I have something to talk to him about."

"Hey, kid, you're quite arrogant. Do you believe I can make you come here with courage, but you won't leave alive?"

The ruffian took the lead, and the younger brothers around him began to get ready to teach this ignorant man a lesson.

Qu Yan didn't even blink: "None of the snakemen in your area would dare to speak to me like that."

When the ruffians on the opposite side heard the name of Snake Man, they were all stunned for a moment.

He dares to bring out the name of a local tyrant, and it seems that he is someone who cannot be easily offended.

He looked at Qu Yan inquiringly: "Who are you?"

Before Qu Yan could say anything, someone playing cards behind him spoke up.

"Sixth Brother, be polite to him. He's a cop, a first-class inspector with three four-pointed stars. Be careful or he'll arrest you."

The person who was speaking stood up slowly, twisted his neck and arms, pushed through the crowd of people playing cards, and squeezed out.

Lao Liu's accomplices knew Qu Yan's identity and dared not cause trouble anymore. They just turned their mouths shut and scattered.

Han Yu lazily walked up to Qu Yan, yawned, and asked impatiently, "What do you want from me?"

The air in the billiard room was turbid. Qu Yan frowned in disdain: "Come back with me and we'll talk."

"If you have something to say, just say it here. I still have to continue playing cards after that."

Han Yu's indifference to everything and lack of interest in anything gave Qu Yan a headache.

"It's not appropriate to say this here."

"If it's not appropriate to talk about it here, let's talk about it another day. I'm having a great time today, so please don't spoil my fun, okay?"

Han Yu waved to him and planned to return to his own card game.

Qu Yan grabbed his collar and pulled him back. "You know I'm a cop, but you still want to keep playing cards? Do you want me to take this place down?"

Han Yu raised his hands and said, "Comrade police, we are not gambling with money. We are just playing with chips to kill time."

The thugs behind him echoed, "Officer, if you don't believe me, come and see. There's not a penny on the table. We're just having fun."

Qu Yan had no way to deal with his rogue appearance and could only use force.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm going to ruin your fun today."

Qu Yan forcibly dragged Han Yu out of the billiard room.

Han Yu said he didn't want to leave, but in fact he didn't resist much and let Qu Yan pull him away.

Qu Yan brought him to the door and slammed it shut in anger.

Dai Li only had the chance to see Han Yu at this moment. Her first impression of him was that he was different from the traditional impression of a drug addict.

He was not unkempt, he just dressed casually. His face was not fat or swollen, but rather had a handsome and heroic look. He was not weak or unsteady in his steps, but on the contrary, he looked very strong from exercise.

If you don't know his experience, it's hard to imagine what he went through in the past.

He exudes a ruffian air all over his body, with a very strong smell of a street thug. Occasionally, a ruthlessness is revealed in his eyes. He is a person from completely different worlds from the dignified Qu Yan.

He also saw Dai Li, looked her up and down, then nudged Qu Yan with his elbow.

He grinned mischievously and whispered in Qu Yan's ear, but spoke at a volume so loud that no one could hear him.

"I was wondering why you were so secretive and insisted on me going out with you. Turns out you wanted to introduce me to someone. You picked a good one; she's my type."

Qu Yan grabbed the front of his shirt and pushed him back, almost vomiting blood in anger: "You wish!"

Han Yu was pushed back a few steps and shrugged nonchalantly: "Can't you even think a little better?"

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, don't even think about it!" Qu Yan cursed in a low voice, fearing that Han Yu's dog mouth would offend Dai Li.

"Okay, okay, I don't want to. Why did you bring this beautiful lady to see me?" Han Yu responded perfunctorily, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, skillfully shook out one and prepared to light it.

Dai Li watched him take out a cigarette and said slowly, "I want to help you accomplish something you want to achieve the most right now."

"Really? Do you know what I want to achieve?" Han Yu lit a cigarette, took a deep breath with an expressionless face, and blew it in the direction of Dai Li. "My mother now hopes that I can get married and have children as soon as possible. Her wish is my wish. Otherwise, beautiful lady, please make do with me and fulfill my mother's wish."

Seeing that he started talking nonsense again, Qu Yan was so anxious that he wanted to hit him.

Dai Li was calmer than Qu Yan had imagined. Even though Han Yu's secondhand smoke was a bit choking, she endured it.

During the confrontation between the two sides, she appeared extremely calm and composed.

"What you want to accomplish is definitely not as simple as getting married and having children. Otherwise, with your conditions, it would be easy for you to find a woman who is willing to follow you."

Han Yu seemed to have heard a huge joke. He pressed his abdomen with one hand and almost laughed himself to death.

Dai Li and Qu Yan didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

After Han Yu had laughed enough, she sneered, "Oh, my conditions? What conditions do I have, beautiful lady? Didn't this police officer tell you?"

"I know your situation, so I hope I can help you?"

"Help me with what?" He asked nonchalantly, flicking the ash off his cigarette.

"Help you return to a normal state and restore your body to a state that has never been harmed by drugs."

Han Yu looked up.

Seeing Dai Li's firm and sincere expression, Qu Yan beside her felt the same.

He suddenly froze without warning, and the half-smoked cigarette slipped from his fingertips, and the red spark fell onto the floor tiles.
