Chapter 575: Chapter 498: You Are My Benefactor_2

Half an hour later, Nalan Shuo sat in a chair in the hospital room, watching Yang Xiao chat merrily with Professor Cui. Professor Cui smiled with his face full of wrinkles, repeatedly saying how his talented nephew was this and that, while Yang Xiao respectfully addressed him as "uncle" and even peeled an apple for Professor Cui with a small knife.

In the spacious hospital room, Nalan Shuo felt out of place amidst the liveliness, as if he was the real outsider.

It was absurd for the Director of the Lin'an Patrol Bureau to feel like an outsider in his own office building!

By evening, after reluctantly parting with Professor Cui, Yang Xiao followed Nalan Shuo back to the Director's office. As soon as he entered, Yang Xiao sensed something was off. The Director's face revealed a polite yet distant smile, "Captain Yang, congratulations on recognizing Professor Cui as your uncle. Now you have a backer in the Provincial Office, your future is boundless."
