Sha Qing

Chapter 33: Bedside Visitors (2)

It seems that the shadow left by Mike's death was still there, and it would be difficult to remove for a long time.

Leo, however, didn't have any plans to guide Rob on how to deal with this situation. In the process of handling cases, they will always encounter such psychological barriers and they have to learn to overcome these obstacles themselves, since always relying on others for enlightment is not a good habit. Fortunately, time is like a never-ending stream that can wash away most impurities, including the mind and spiritual ones.

"Anyway, this case is finally over!" Rob sighed. "I'm starting to think that Sha Qing is a solo man who 'pursues evil'. You see, he helped us send two scums into hell, and even saved an agent- don't deny, I have read the site investigation report, and I know that it was impossible to get rid of those two lunatics without his help."

After a moment of silence, Leo wrote, "My biggest headache now is the closing report, which is quite difficult to write."

"Understandable," Rob said with empathy. "It's the type of 'can't be written completely according to the facts, and can't be written without the facts' - you have to grasp the degree. However, I think it's not a bad idea. Maybe, when you catch Sha Qing in the future, your closing report could serve as an evidence for commutation of sentence."

Leo was silent again, with a gloomy atmosphere like a cloudy sky.

Rob patted his shoulder with comfort "But, everything has to wait until you're healed."

"... I want to take a vacation." Leo suddenly said.

"Holiday? Great! How long has it been since we've taken annual leave?" Rob was so excited and twisted a few times, like dancing hip-hop or something, "Since working with you as a partner, all I've done every day is work, work, and work that I'm going to be depressed! Just take this opportunity to take a vacation! Three months ... No, half a year...How long does it take to recuperate?"

Leo looked helplessly at his partner, "Up to two months, including the healing time."

Rob screamed, "I hate Sha Qing! Why did he help you, he should've just let go of you to fall into hell!"

"That's impossible, because he wanted to take my hand."

"What? Is this true? Are you saying that he was--"

"I'm just kidding."

"Oh, Leo! From what I remember you weren't that funny before!"

"I am forced to lie in a hospital bed even though I think that there will be no additional problems- I just want to put on my coat and go straight home. Now that I'm still staying here, I'm getting kind of bored, so you have to give me some little pastime."

"I'm not your pastime!"

"Of course, things like Sudoku and crossword puzzles are that, but you- you are much simpler than those."

Rob walked away angrily.

When he went downstairs, he came across Li Biqing who came back carrying a thermos.

"Hi, Rob, why are pulling such a face?" The Chinese lad asked.

"It's nothing." The green-eyed agent looked at him and said, "Well, how about you, what happened? I don't think it'll be easy on you to make it upstairs."

The young man pulled the long-sleeved cuffs subconsciously and smiled with embarrassment, "I tripped before the stairs and rolled down the steps ... They didn't mop the cleaning detergent off the floor."
