Saw Her On TV

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She had landed herself in this position, falling headfirst into the hands of that damned captain.

F***, he was nothing!

After Wenxian simmered down a little, her head still palpitating, she flipped through the drawer at the bedside and found a cheap cigarette and a geared lighter before she finally felt slightly better.

At that moment, her injury faintly started hurting, and her head was buzzing, but she did not bother.

Using her finger to graze against the geared lighter a few times, a spark formed, and a small fire lit. She then bit down on the cigarette, lowering her head to light it up.

In the jurisdiction region hall.

Some pictures of the Sichuan-Tibet line were hung on the whitewashed walls.

The vast golden snow mountains, and protected animals like the Mongolian gazelle, antelopes and cranes on the prairie that goes further than the eye can see.

The endless roads, lakes of different colors as well as deep and mysterious saltwater lakes.

The wind was rather strong during this season, blowing through gaps in the window. However, they were sealed shut with a plastic material, making those areas bulge up.

It was almost dinner time. The aroma of the food wafted through the dining hall.

Sang Nian and the young Tibetan lad, Zhaxi, acted cute to the old lady in the dining hall to get some big meat buns to eat first.

They ate while walking towards the radio room's Grandpa Lee.

Radio room's Grandpa Lee was sitting there cracking seeds while watching his television show, which he was unable to take his eyes off of.

"Ah Nian, I heard you and the boss brought back an injured woman this morning?" Zhaxi asked with his awkward-sounding Mandarin.

Sang Nian had barely swallowed the steamy meat bun in his mouth. He waved his hand and spoke obscurely.

"Don't even bring it up, that woman is like a tiger. It is easy for things to go south when you are that crazy, like running against a wild yak."

Although he was speaking the truth, but he never brought up that the fierce, arrogant, pretty lady had overturned into the ditch because of them.

The two sat down with Grandpa Lee to watch that small television, which was playing a palace drama.

At that point, the plot was for the most part about the cat fighting between the concubines in the palace. When it reached the exciting part, Grandpa Lee even started to slap his thighs in excitement!

The corner of Sang Nian's eyes twitched as he scanned the TV screen, chewing on his bun and continuing.

"… However, she is under suspicion for entering the restricted region. It just so happened that a group of criminals who were taking photographs in the vicinity of the nuclear test area had escaped and were in the process of being arrested, but that woman refused to cooperate with us. In a while, boss will hand her over to, to——"

No one knew what he saw, but Sang Nian suddenly stopped there, stunned. His eyes were wide open, and somehow words he was about to say were stuck in his mouth as he could not say anything.

Zhaxi, the Tibetan young man watched blankly as the mouthful of bun he had just bitten off dropped right out from his mouth, "…"

He touched the back of his head, then looked back at the TV screen in astonishment, then back at Sang Nian in confusion, "What, why are you stammering, where is she being handed over to?"

"She she she——"

This time, Sang Nian's eyes were almost popping out of the socket, as he pointed to the TV screen while trembling, "This, this woman she she she——"

"Eh? Isn't this Wenxian, haha you used to tell me about how much you liked her, now what, are you pretending not to recognise her after she changed her looks to film a costume drama?!"

Zhaxi really liked Wenxian too. She was the most popular superstar in the entertainment industry, and was extremely beautiful. Sometimes, she looked gentle while other times she was charming, anyone could tell how alluring she was.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open.

A cool breeze rushed in, causing Sang Nian to quiver instantly.

When he saw someone entering, he immediately leaped up even before finishing the bun in his hand, rushing to grab Lu Xiao's arm while losing his head, "Boss, boss, oh, oh no!!"

It was cold outside, and his body carried the coolness of the incoming autumn.

Lu Xiao frowned as he watched Sang Nian rush up to grab him, "What, what's wrong? Get ready, the people from the law enforcement unit are coming in a while."
