《Chameleon: My True Face》CHapter 13 - Mysterious Background
Advertisement
"It wasn't that bad… I have been through much worse." Wuxing smiled bitterly before his lips lifted into a teasing curve. "Also, it is supposed to be the doctor who does the asking and checking, right?"
"I guess it didn't hurt you much if you still have the energy to tease me," Miss Guan replied with a sweet smile, but somehow, Wuxing felt there was something wrong with her gentle response. He soon found out that she could be anything but gentle. She suddenly ripped apart the shirt that Wuxing used to clog the abdomen wound, causing Wuxing to feel a wave of sharp pain.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Miss Guan cooed as she prepared the fresh linen gauze that she would wrap around his torso. "I didn't hurt you, right?"
"I didn't even feel it," Wuxing grinned but one could tell he was faking it as the corners of his lips were twitching. He didn't even shout or groan as she began to clean his abdomen wound, causing the dried-up blood to tear once more, which quite impressed her, but that didn't mean she would let him go for teasing her.
Of course, as she played around, Miss Guan didn't forget her real duty of a doctor. Her long and dainty fingers swiftly moved, thoroughly cleaning the area around the wound. His skin burned from the medicine applied but he went through that smoothly.
"Why don't you turn around? I need to clean the one on your back as well, right?" Miss Guan asked with a smile as she flexed the fingers on her gloved hands, looking as if she's a predator ready to torture her poor prey.
"Cough… can Miss Guan be more gentle, please?"
Knowing that she definitely has more in store for him, he gave up and asked with a pleading voice to avoid unnecessary pain. After all, he wasn't a masochist. If he could easily prevent something like this, he would do it.
Hearing him begging like this, she patted Wuxing on the head and stopped playing around. "Good boy."
All she wanted was him to admit defeat. This beautiful lady doctor felt wonderful gaining the upper hand against such a tough-acting man.

"I'm so jealous. Miss Guan is so pretty," one of the prisoners who had been watching the whole event cried out jealously, seeing the famous lady doctor acting intimately with the new prisoner. He was already imagining himself in Wuxing's place. "I wonder, should I also get hurt so that she can take care of me like this?"
"Bro, if you are a masochist, I can beat you up for free. Don't you know she is a sadist? If you tease her or try to flirt, she will use all possible means to bring you pain while she fixes you up," the prisoner next to him warned him. As he said that, he shivered, inevitably recalling the last time he got hurt. He vowed to never flirt with this demoness ever again.
After Miss Guan was done temporarily securing all of his wounds, she asked curiously, "How did you end up in this situation?"
Feeling there was no harm in telling her, Wuxing vaguely described the situation. "I beat up the miner who tried to steal an Ethernum Crystal from me. That guard in the handcuffs, he tried to kill me after I didn't want to surrender to him."
Then, he spotted Long Qing approaching the group of guards. Wuxing added, glaring at the new warden, "Oh yeah, he was probably hired by that guy with cropped black hair. He hates me enough to kill me."
Miss Guan looked towards the group of guards, and her face turned cold right away when her gaze landed on Long Qing.
"I already had the displeasure of meeting him, so it's easy to believe what you said." Miss Guan nodded, piecing together the whole situation before she reached out her hand, saying, "Give it to me."
Wuxing immediately figured out she meant. He gave her the purple crystal which he had been keeping inside his pocket all this time. "Sure, I can't keep it anyway."
Miss Guan admired the purple beauty before she smiled mysteriously. "Wow, it is a big one… I will take this as payment, then."
Wuxing couldn't figure out exactly what 'payment' meant, but he didn't dig deeper. Weariness was already setting in from the blood loss, so he just let it go.

The black-haired doctor casually untied her hair, letting it tumble down to frame her exquisite face, before calling out to the two guards protecting her from behind, "Let's go. Carry him and follow me."
Right before they picked Wuxing up, she added, "Oh, if you drop him, you guys are dead."
This made them more stressed than usual. They didn't dare say a word other than affirmation as they knew that whenever she unties her hair, she meant serious business.
As they walked towards the prison guards, they could hear the leader of the patrol arguing with Long Qing over the custody of the green-eyed guard. It was obvious that the leader didn't want to let go of the offender—after the situation turned from bad to worse, all the guards on duty today would bear the repercussions if they were found to not have followed protocol.
"Was he the one who made the shots?"
The sexy doctor approached them, pointing at the green-eyed man who was already lifted up from the ground by Long Qing.
"Oh, Miss Guan, what a coincidence." Seeing that Miss Guan involved herself with this situation, Long Qing couldn't afford to offend her. Long Qing was interested in this beauty's background and he did his best to impress her when they met the first time, but unfortunately, it didn't go as well as he expected. "You look much better with your hair loose… you should wear it this way more often."
"What are you doing with him?" She purposely ignored his compliment but asked coldly instead.
"Him?" Long Qing smiled innocently, trying to act as natural as possible. He even avoided eye contact with Wuxing as if he didn't even know him. "I wanted to take him to the questioning room."
On the other hand, the leader of the guards looked like he found a savior.
"Miss Guan!" he called out to the famous lady doctor as he didn't have any other choice. He didn't trust this new warden who was meddling in things outside his jurisdiction. "Chief Warden ordered us to take him as he openly broke the rules and acted with the intent to kill."
Hearing the guard's accusations, Long Qing frowned for a second, before he suddenly pulled the green-eyed man with him, intending to bring the man away from them. "You guys talk to each other. I will go and make sure to question this guy thoroughly."
"Hold right there! I am not done yet," Miss Guan shouted expecting Long Qing to stop, but he actually acted as if he didn't hear her and continued to walk.
Bang!
The sound of a bullet shot sounded for the sixth time today. The bullet exploded the rocks next to Long Qing's right foot, forcing him to stop his movements.
Miss Guan put down the rifle she took from the leader of the patrol and said, "If he moves away for one more step, shoot him down."
"Yes!" The guards uniformly aimed their rifles at Long Qing without asking questions.
"How dare you aim your weapons at a superior officer?! I am the new warden of Sector Alpha! Do you want to get fired?" Long Qing angrily cried out to the guards.
Seeing the guards hesitate and falter, Miss Guan coldly rebutted, "I will inform the Chief Warden, our highest-ranking officer of what happened, so don't worry."
This made everyone assured, and they happily listened to her. They all heard that Miss Guan had a special connection with the Chief Warden and he complied with her every request.
Long Qing fumed from anger but seeing Miss Guan's cold face, he decided to give up and pushed the green-eyed guard forward after whispering something into his ear. Then loudly, he told her, "Fine, I wouldn't reject your request. You can do with him what you want."
"Bring him to me and give me a gun," she said.
Everyone was curious about what she wanted to do, but they still carried out her order without questioning her intention.
