Liu Yuan had dropped Lu Jing off outside the fire station and hurried away to deal with work.
At the training ground, everyone was enthusiastically training.
Although it was already the autumn-winter season, each of them was shirtless and sweating profusely—a testament to how intense the training was!
Lu Jing just glanced over them; seeing this every day, he naturally wasn’t as excited anymore.
Besides, to a doctor, those glistening bodies were just bones and muscles—probably contemplating which part would be easier to dissect, or which would be easier to shatter?
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, you’re back?"
Lu Jing nodded to the two greeting team members:
"Hello, guys. Where is Captain Jiang?"
A team member pointed towards the training area:
Lu Jing nodded, his face beaming:
"All right, got it, thanks."
Once the team members had left, Lu Jing didn’t head to the training area; instead, he hastened upstairs to go home.
While opening the door, he looked around several times to check for anyone nearby, and then he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Entering the house, he dashed to the bedroom and stuffed the bag he was carrying into the bottom corner of the wardrobe.
He looked at it for a while, shaking his head repeatedly, muttering to himself:
"No, no, that won’t do. I need to cover it up with something."
His own spouse had a sharp eye, able to find almost anything; hardly anything could escape his observation.
Sometimes, Lu Jing was a bit scared of him; after all, there were no secrets and nowhere to hide.
It was like being naked, very unsettling.
Of course, Jiang Ye always made him feel extremely secure, so Lu Jing didn’t really mind that part.
However, he really couldn’t let this be seen today; it had to be kept hidden!
At this moment, the man still at the training ground was completely oblivious to the situation at home, but he sneezed several times in a row, causing Old Qin to look over uncontrollably.
"What’s the matter? You don’t look like you have a cold."
With the fire station folks, the occurrences of colds were so infrequent that they could be counted on one hand annually.
Moreover, many hadn’t caught a cold in years; they were exceptionally healthy!
Jiang Ye waved his hand:
"It’s nothing. How much longer over there?"
Old Qin checked his watch:
"Almost there, about twenty minutes."
Jiang Ye handed the stopwatch and whistle to Old Qin:
"I’m going to use the restroom."
Whether that was true or not, only he knew.
Jiang Ye had already left the training area and indeed, he had turned towards the residential building.
It was only the third floor; it took less than half a minute to get there.
Inside, Lu Jing was still in the bedroom, agonizing over where to hide the item.
"Where should I put it?" Get full chapters from NoveI★Fire.net
"There, no, Jiang Ye will definitely see it!"
"The wardrobe is always accessed, even hiding it in the corner isn’t safe!"
"Maybe, just for now, hide it in the top cabinet?"
That cabinet was filled with off-season clothes and items like quilts, which were rarely accessed.
The more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea.
Just as Lu Jing was about to stuff the bag into the top cabinet and struggling due to his height, almost ready to fetch a chair from outside—
Suddenly, the weight in his hands lightened considerably.
"What are you putting up there? Let me help you!"
When he heard that all-too-familiar voice behind him, Lu Jing involuntarily shivered and swiftly dodged to the side.
