Chapter 167

The tape in his mouth was torn off, and his hands and feet, which were tied up with bloody marks, were finally free.

Chai Yunyue, with many bruises and wounds on his face, sat in the box. He rubbed his wrists, with a big painted face, and looked at the man and woman in front of him vigilantly.

They are old acquaintances, but why are they here?

Chai Yunyue wanted to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he made a "hmm" sound and fell back.

He held his legs tightly, sweating profusely.

Mu Ling squatted on the ground, hugging the tearing tiger to prevent it from attacking Chai Yunyue. She asked, "What's wrong? Is your foot numb?"

Chai Yunyue didn't say anything, but his body was trembling slightly.

The flashlight shone on his legs, and I saw that his black pants were slowly getting wet.

Mu Ling was stunned: "Pee?"

As she spoke, she covered her nose with one hand and the nose of the tearing tiger with the other.

Chai Yunyue: “…”

Chai Yunyue took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he said, "It's blood!"

Xiang Bie frowned and said unhappily, "Why are you yelling at her?"

Chai Yunyue: “…”

Chai Yunyue was shocked and said, "Is this considered yelling?"

Mu Ling waved her hands at Brother Xiang: "Forget it, forget it, he probably didn't mean it."

Xiang Bie didn't say anything, just frowned, squatted down and moved Chai Yunyue's legs.

"Ah!" Chai Yunyue screamed and clenched his fists.

Xiang Bie straightened his legs and rolled up his trouser legs, only to see inside the hideous knife wound, which was large and deep. His legs were covered with clotted blood, and the wound was also covered with blood scabs. He had just moved a little, and now the thin scabs had cracked.

Mu Ling looked at the wound and her expression became serious.

She stepped forward, looked at his wound, and said, "He was stabbed with a knife. It penetrated the bone, and the tear was quite large. The knife must have been stuck in there and stirred it for a while."

Chai Yunyue nodded palely.

Mu Ling said to Xiang Bie, "He also inhaled a lot of anesthetic mist. He didn't feel any pain when he was unconscious before. Now that the mist has stopped for a while, the pain has returned."

Xiang Bie asked: "Can you take care of it for him?"

Mu Ling said, "There's still some Tiger's medicine left."

Chai Yunyue: “…”

Chai Yunyue frowned: "Tiger's medicine?"

Seeing that he was not very willing, Xiang Bie said, "If you don't want to use it, just let your leg rot."

Chai Yunyue: “…”

Chai Yunyue muttered: "What did I say? I didn't say no..."

Mu Ling went to get the medicine box and said, "Brother Xiang, hold him down and don't let him move."

Xiang Bie controlled Chai Yunyue's legs. Mu Ling first cleaned the blood on the edge of his wound with saline solution, then used pliers to hold a cotton ball and began to clean the wound.

During this process, because the wound was too deep and too painful, Chai Yunyue couldn't control his muscle spasms, and Xiang Bie could only press him tighter.

After cleaning the wound, Mu Ling said, "If they need stitches, I'll do it quickly because the animals will soon wake up, so you'll have to be patient."

Chai Yunyue nodded weakly, his forehead covered with sweat.

Mu Ling began to thread the needle. Xiang Bie glanced at Chai Yunyue and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chai Yunyue didn't answer, but asked instead: "What about you guys? Why are you here? Where is this? Are you still on Nibra?"

Xiang Bie said "hmm" and briefly explained the matter of the rescue team.

After hearing this, Chai Yunyue guessed that they must be missing, and in order to save them, the president reported the matter of Nibra to the star network, using public opinion to put pressure on the western star field, forcing the federal army to enter Nibra. Once the federal army arrived, the people from the Security Department could follow in.

However, the people from the Security Department had not found them yet, and the two people who came to rescue the fighting beasts found him by accident.

But no matter what, these two people saved him after all, he said: "Thank you...ah!"

Before she could finish thanking him, Mu Ling started stitching.

Afterwards, Chai Yunyue endured the painful stitches.

Xiang Bie then asked again: "So how did you get into this situation?"

Chai Yunyue still didn't say anything. The first rule of the Security Department was to keep one's mouth shut, especially when it came to the mission. He couldn't talk to two ordinary people.

Xiang Bie looked at him and frowned.

Mu Ling stitched really quickly. She was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of the animal if it woke up. Soon, the tissue was completely sealed. After applying the medicine and bandaging the wound, Mu Ling looked around and said, "Brother Xiang, go find some sticks."

Xiang Bie went to pick up a few thick branches.

Mu Ling made a simple splint for Chai Yunyue, then dusted off her hands and said, "It's done."

Chai Yunyue covered his legs and thanked him again: "Thank you."

Mu Ling lowered her head to pack up the medicine box and said, "Thank you so much. Just tell us what happened to you. I don't want to pry into your affairs, but we are also on Nibra Planet now. In order to find these fighting beasts, we broke away from the main group and sneaked out. If we were caught, we might go through what you went through, so we want to know in advance so that we have a better idea."

This explanation made sense, but Chai Yunyue suddenly became serious: "Why did you leave the group? How dare you act on your own in a place like this? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling sighed: "Forget it, if you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Chai Yunyue said: "Now it's not a question of whether to tell or not, you have to go back as soon as possible. Nibra is not your planet...ah."

Chai Yunyue was suddenly patted on the back of his head.

He looked up in shock at the man who patted his head.

Xiang Bie's hand was still hanging in the air. He looked at his hand, then glanced at Chai Yunyue. He was also stunned for a moment. Then he put his hand down with a stern face and said, "Sorry."

It's a bit of a habit...

It didn't hurt when Xiang Bie was filmed here, it was just the kind of playful pushing and shoving that boys often do...

But he did it so naturally that Chai Yunyue couldn't recover for a long time...

Chai Yunyue had met this keeper a long time ago, but the first meeting was not pleasant. When they met again on Nurha Star, his impression of him did not improve. He had always known about this person and knew that this person was almost inseparable from Director Mu of the Beek Zoo.

But it seems that he has never checked what it is called.

Now think about it again, did Principal Mu just call him...Brother Xiang?

Xiang? Or elephant? Or maybe...

item?

Chai Yunyue's pupils slowly shrank. He looked at the man seriously, trying hard to find his familiar shadow on him.

Could it be him? Could it be him?

Then, he discovered that the other person's expression, eyes, and even the arc of his lips...

They are all so familiar!

Sweat gradually broke out on his head. Chai Yunyue's lips trembled as he opened his mouth tentatively: "Brother...Xiang?"

The container suddenly became very quiet.

One second, two seconds, until ten seconds had passed.

Xiang Bie had a gloomy face, and suddenly, almost imperceptibly, he nodded slightly.

Chai Yunyue was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, Xiang Bie frowned and signaled him not to say anything.

Chai Yunyue understood his gesture and quickly shut up.

But, but, but how could it be him?

Why didn’t I notice it before?

Looking at the other person's appearance again, whether it was the looks, the voice, or the posture, it was like he was a completely different person.

Who could have imagined that the high-ranking federal marshal would one day wear dirty breeder's overalls, hunch his back, and clean up animal feces in cages one by one?

Chai Yunyue's eyes suddenly turned red. He sniffed and said, "That day, we went to the upper third floor of the Imperial Court Colosseum. Guests going there for the first time were required to bring their own fighting beasts and also to participate in a mandatory gamble. We bought a wild boar from a reseller, and the beast that fought against our wild boar was a war beast."

Xiang Bie and Mu Ling's expressions changed. This was not just a gimmick. Did the Colosseum really use war beasts for fighting?

Chai Yunyue continued, "At first glance, it was indeed a Clouded Leopard. But I had a former Beast Tamer colleague with me, and he saw at a glance that it was just an ordinary leopard that had been drugged to make its back arched, making it look like a Clouded Leopard. In the fight, our wild boar naturally lost. Normally, after a winner is determined, the wild boar returns to the arena, and the match is over. But the fake Clouded Leopard went crazy and insisted on biting the wild boar to death. The former Beast Tamer colleague couldn't stand it and went up to separate them."

Mu Ling said, "It's nothing. The battle is over, and the beasts should be separated. Even if they don't separate on their own, the referee should separate them. If the wild boar doesn't die, the arena will have one more beast. If it dies, it won't benefit the arena."

Chai Yunyue pursed his lips and said, "That's true, but when we separated, the copycat Swallowing Cloud Leopard died."

Mu Ling widened her eyes.

Chai Yunyue said, "Our colleagues didn't do anything. It was the fake Clouded Leopard that was given too many drugs and died suddenly. But the leopard was using the name of a war beast. With so many spectators at the scene, the Colosseum naturally wanted to give the war leopard an explanation. Then the three of us were beaten and asked to compensate them for the war beast."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling sympathized: "You are so unlucky. Did you lose money?"

Chai Yunyue said: "We said we could pay but we had to go out to get the money, and then they searched us and found the monitoring equipment."

Mu Ling: “…”

You are so unlucky, brother.

Chai Yunyue sighed: "Since it has come to this, I can only fight back, but in the end I still couldn't get away."

Now Mu Lingxiang Bie understood everything.

With surveillance equipment, the interstellar pirates were unsure of which force the people belonged to or what they were doing, so they detained them. They probably interrogated them during the process, which is why they had injuries on their legs that were obviously caused by deliberate intimidation.

Xiang Bie asked: "Where are your colleagues?"

Chai Yunyue shook his head. "We were held separately for several days. Until today, they suddenly gave me an anesthetic injection. Then I didn't know anything. I woke up here."

Now things have been sorted out.

After Chai Yunyue finished speaking, he looked at Brother Xiang eagerly and said excitedly: "Brother Xiang, now that you are here, let's..."

Xiang Bie covered his mouth with his hand and shook his head at him again.

Chai Yunyue blinked and had to shut up again.

Mu Ling stood up, walked to the door, and suddenly raised her voice, "Chief Chai's injury has been bandaged. We still have to find other fighting beasts, so we don't have time to take care of him. Please take him away."

Chai Yunyue frowned and looked at Mu Ling, then looked at Brother Xiang. What does that mean?

Xiang Bie let go of his mouth, helped him up, took him to the door, and said, "Go out."

Chai Yunyue looked at the vast woods outside and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

Xiang Bie said: "Just go."

He lowered his voice and added, "Don't say anything you shouldn't say."

Chai Yunyue frowned and limped forward. After walking for a while, he looked back and saw Brother Xiang and Director Mu still looking at him.

Why do I feel like a child leaving home and being seen off by his parents?

Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Chai Yunyue could only keep moving forward.

After walking for a while, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and there was an ambush nearby.

Just as he was about to be alert, two people emerged from behind the bushes.

The two men were dressed very modestly and said, "Captain Chai, we are from the Shadow Force."

Shadow Force, Guard Team.

Did the president arrange for the security team to protect Brother Xiang?

It turns out that the president already knew Brother Xiang’s whereabouts!

Chai Yunyue was a little surprised and asked, "When did you start protecting him?"

Two soldiers from the Shadow Force came up to support him and said, "Four months ago, after multiple evaluations, our superiors arranged for us to accompany and protect Director Mu. Under any circumstances, our priority is to ensure Director Mu's safety. Of course, when conditions permit, we will also protect her subordinates."

Chai Yunyue: “…”

Not to protect Brother Xiang.

It is to protect Principal Mu.

But I will protect Brother Xiang by the way.

Chai Yunyue: “…”

After all this time, Brother Xiang is still living off her?
