Chapter 996 - Xu Che’s Side 8 – What’s Difficult is to Live With Dignity

This was the first time Xu Che had asked Sheng Xiao to leave work early for the sake of a girl. Sheng Xiao, who had been a father for some time, realized that he cared too little about his subordinates.

Therefore, he nodded without a word and asked Xu Che if he needed more than an hour.

Xu Che only needed an hour and he had made an agreement with Mu Qiqi.

He had requested to bring someone into the forensic laboratory to observe, and it was a girl.

After Mu Qiqi heard this, her hand that was holding the scalpel could not help but tremble.

Xu Che had been alone for so many years, and he suddenly realized that he wanted to bring a girl out on a date. But... he was bringing her to the forensic laboratory of Jianchuan’s police station to watch her dissect a dead person?

Was this person’s brain okay?

“Xu Che, why don’t you go somewhere else? There are many fun places under Zhongteng and Huang Yao. Do you want to reconsider?”

“No need, Young Madam. Special people need special treatment.” Xu Che did not appreciate this favor at all.

The Crystal Concert Hall, the 5D movie theater, as long as it was a place that girls yearned for, it did not matter to Xiao Yi. She needed stimulation now.

She needed to reactivate it.

“Alright then. I’ll apply with Chief Tang. However, don’t regret it. If you scare people, I won’t be responsible.” Mu Qiqi warned him.

“Don’t worry, Young Madam.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Qiqi hurriedly called Master Xiao to confirm whether Xu Che had gone crazy.

“I’m not sure who it is, but from the looks of it, Xu Che seems to be serious.”

“I’ve never seen someone flirt with girls like this. Bringing someone to see an autopsy?” Mu Qiqi did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“This is Xu Che’s matter. Just let him handle it himself. I’ll come and pick you up tonight.” Sheng Xiao shifted the topic to Mu Qiqi. “Today, Little Qi went to the Shen family.”

When Mu Qiqi heard this, she immediately understood what he meant.

On such days, the husband and wife would definitely spend a romantic day outside.

It could be in Zhongteng’s office or it could be in some beautiful hotel.

“Got it. I’ll get off work after Xu Che comes to observe.”

When Sheng Xiao received the message that Mu Qiqi was not working overtime, he nodded in satisfaction. “Good girl.”

Good girl, good girl.

Mu Qiqi rolled her eyes. She was already in her mid-twenties, yet this man still treated her like a seventeen-year-old girl.

However, when she thought about how she would be able to see the woman that Xu Che liked later, Mu Qiqi’s heart was unconsciously filled with anticipation.

..

At six o’clock in the evening, Xu Che drove to the dessert shop. This was the first time Xiao Yi and her shop assistant saw Xu Che’s car. It was a Maybach that was so cool, it could reach the heavens.

“Lady Boss, Little Brother is here.” The shop assistant winked at Xiao Yi, signaling her to look out of the window.

Xiao Yi looked up and saw Xu Che looking like a high-profile person. She immediately felt a little embarrassed, so she immediately picked up the leather bag that was in the cabinet and went out. “Stop gossiping.”

Xu Che didn’t mean to cause such a sensation. It was just that his motorcycle was being repaired. He had no other choice.

When Xiao Yi got in the car, she deliberately glared at him.

Xu Che knew why. When the two of them were walking halfway, Xu Che explained, “I’m in a hurry today. My other ride is being repaired. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

“I thought you were here to show off your wealth.”

Apparently, Xiao Yi could joke too.

Xu Che did not care about her sarcasm. He drove the Maybach all the way to the entrance of the Jianchuan branch office.

Xiao Yi saw that they were at the entrance of a police station and was confused. “Is this the place where you want me to relearn my life?”

“You’ll know when you go in,” Xu Che replied with his head tilted.

Xiao Yi did not understand what was going on. After Xu Che parked the car, she followed behind him.

The police officers were already used to Xu Che’s appearance. They only nodded at him. Occasionally, a few of them expressed interest in the little woman who appeared behind him, but they didn’t think that it was a relationship between a man and a woman. After all, there weren’t many people who would be willing to bring their girlfriend to a place like the police station.

Yet, Xu Che was such a weirdo.

Xiao Yi followed closely behind Xu Che, but soon, she felt uncomfortable. Why was it getting colder and colder?

Soon, Xu Che pushed open the door of the forensic laboratory. Mu Qiqi was wearing a white coat and sitting in front of the autopsy table.

Seeing the two of them appear, Mu Qiqi winked at Xu Che. “Aren’t you going to introduce us first?”

“I know you,” Xiao Yi immediately answered before Xu Che could. “You’re too famous, Forensic Doctor Mu. I’m Xiao Yi, Xu Che’s friend and a pastry chef.”

Seeing that she had extended his hand, Mu Qiqi smiled and raised her white gloves. “Not bad. I’ll shake it next time.”

Xiao Yi smiled and didn’t mind.

Seeing that she didn’t care about small details, Mu Qiqi went around the head of the corpse and continued to say to Xiao Yi, “This is Xu Che’s first time bringing a girl out. I thought that he would choose to go somewhere romantic, but he called me in the afternoon and actually wanted to bring you to see the corpse...”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“He told me that he wanted me to reacquaint myself with life,” Xiao Yi explained with a smile. Her round and chubby face really did look kind of cute, even though she was older than Mu Qiqi.

“I see.” Mu Qiqi understood Xu Che’s intention. “In that case, come and take a look. If you want to be Xu Che’s girlfriend, of course you have to know what kind of things and people he has come into contact with.”

“We...”

Without waiting for her explanation, Mu Qiqi directly removed the white cloth that was originally covering the dead man’s body.

After Xiao Yi saw it, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. Half of the head of the corpse in front of her had collapsed. It was as terrifying as it could be.

Xu Che hurriedly helped Xiao Yi up. Then, the two of them heard Mu Qiqi’s explanation from the side.

“This old man was crushed to death by a rock at a construction site. When he died, he was 74 years old. He had a 98-year-old mother and a paralyzed wife to support at home.

“He didn’t have any children. After he was hit, he didn’t die on the spot. His strong will to survive allowed him to hold on for six hours. In the end, he didn’t make it through because his injuries were too severe.

“If this is what Xu Che wanted you to see, then I can tell you many of such stories.”

After hearing Mu Qiqi’s description, Xiao Yi was naturally shocked.

She had only lost a part of her heart, yet she was already on the verge of death. It was no wonder that Xu Che would bring her to this cold autopsy room.

“The people who appear on the autopsy table are never willing to die just like that, especially this old man...

“He was crushed to death with a stone.

“They are the people who cherished life the most in this world, but God did not give them another chance.

“Xiao Yi, although I don’t understand why Xu Che brought you here, I’ll just say that it’s too easy to beg for death. What’s difficult is to live with dignity.”
