Chapter 2018: Where Did the Flaw Slip Through

Ever since entering the desert, Li Jian quit temporarily.

After all, he liked smoking cigars when chasing criminals and handling cases. This reputation was so widespread that it had almost become his trademark.

To avoid being recognized, he covered up this loophole.

Unexpectedly, he still couldn’t escape Yaen Chi’s eyes.

“When did you start suspecting me?”

Yaen Chi said frankly, “When you guys bandaged me for the first time after I woke up.”

“Where did I slip up?”

“Where? Everywhere!” Yaen Chi chuckled twice, raised his seat from lying down to sitting upright, avoiding his back touching the backrest, “You might not smoke anymore, but you’re still ugly. Every time you disguise yourself, you make it uglier. You insist on adding freckles where they shouldn’t be. The three freckles under your right eye corner moved to your left eyelid. Am I blind? I can’t see that?”

Li Jian’s face looked rather unpleasant, fearing people would recognize him from the marinated smell of smoke on him, but he never thought it’d be due to his ugliness.

He viciously peeled off the fake piece on his nose, wadded it into a ball, and threw it at Yaen Chi, who dodged so violently that it tugged on his back injury, making him curse loudly in pain: “You’re disgusting, throwing your fleshy bits at me!”

This really sounded awkward to the ears!

“Everyone outside is mine. It’s safe now. If there’s nothing else, get more sleep and shout less.”

Turns out he came over just to scare his younger brother; if he hadn’t been exposed on the spot, he would’ve kept acting.

Yaen Chi called him back, “Hold on, my back really hurts. Get the doctor in to reapply my medicine.”

Li Jian held back his expression, but with an emotionless square face, he looked quite composed, yet speaking out could infuriate people to the brink of suicide, “I find it troublesome, knocked them out all together. He’s one of Yan Di’s people, I don’t trust him. Want me to wake him up?”

“Then go ahead.”

Li Jian took a step forward but retracted it again, “Forget it, it’s even more troublesome. Bear with it, you’ll just be flying for two days, then you can be transferred to a hospital after getting off the plane.”

Yaen Chi was sweating from the pain on his forehead, “Are you just going to watch your brother suffer and die? If the doctor can’t come, at least let the two nurses handle it. In case the doctor is truly loyal to Yan Di, the nurses are easier to sway and wouldn’t dare make any moves.”

“Actually, it’s not about making any moves…”

Li Jian had the audacity to heave a sigh in distress, “Before boarding the plane, I replaced those two nurses. Now the doctor is unconscious, I can’t do it, and no one else can treat you, just bear with it.”

Yaen Chi gritted his teeth, cursing more people today than he ever had in his life, “If you really let your brother die from pain, you’d be without a brother, I’m warning you for the last time.”

Li Jian let out a cold chuckle, not taking his threat seriously at all, “Don’t worry, you won’t die. Evil thrives for a thousand years. You’d survive even if thrown into the desert; it’s just that finding me took too much time.”

He raised his hand to pat Yaen Chi’s shoulder, speaking in a moralizing tone, “Brother, you still need more honing. Pain is just part of it, hopefully, it’ll help you remember.”

“I’ll remember your goddamn second uncle’s aunt!”

Yaen Chi was quick to react, trying to grab Li Jian’s hand and throw him, but being injured, his moves looked like an old lady pulling teeth from Li Jian’s perspective. Slowly, he retracted his hand and took large strides out.

Yaen Chi gnashed his teeth: “Does the Li Family have a curse on me? You’re as much of a bastard as that old man at home! Have some shame!”
