The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Li Muchen bought two bags of milk powder and two cans of food, and carried them to He Shen's dormitory.

He preferred to come by himself rather than have Li Tian visit him.

After all, the gossip about the two of them hadn't died down yet; it's just that as time went on, people stopped paying attention.

If he had to choose between Shen Yi and He Shen as his brother-in-law, he would definitely side with Shen Yi.

Having known each other for so many years, he trusted Shen Yi more.

But, as he thought about it, Li Tian's affairs were not his to decide.

This is something that cannot be advised or persuaded about.

To put it bluntly, it all depends on fate between the two people.

Li Muchen easily found out where He Shen lived.

"Hello, I'm Li Tian's brother. Thank you for indirectly helping my sister."

"Are you alright?"

He Shen knew Li Muchen, but they had never interacted before.

Upon hearing of Li Muchen's arrival, Li Tian naturally came to mind.

It must have been Li Tian who sent her brother.

It seems she already knows.

However, his condition is not good.

Wearing wet clothes and exposed to the cold wind the whole way, I felt dizzy and lightheaded when I got back to the dormitory.

After changing my clothes, I was too weak to move.

He Shen struggled to sit up.

"No need to be so polite, I just happened to arrive in time."

Li Muchen put down his things and helped He Shen lie down.

This person clearly suffered from severe cold.

Going into the water in this kind of weather is inevitable.

Have you taken any medication? Have you seen a doctor?

He Shen shook his head.

"I have some cold medicine with me, and I've already taken it."

Having spent a lot of time with Shen Yi, Li Muchen had learned some basic skills.

He felt He Shen's pulse and then looked at his tongue.

This is a typical case of cold-related symptoms. It's not very serious, but it should not be ignored and must be treated properly.

"Can you walk?"

He Shen shook his head weakly.

Li Muchen thought about it and realized that taking ordinary cold medicine was not the right treatment for cold symptoms.

"I'll go and call Shen Yi over so he can give you acupuncture. He has some good medicine."

He Shen didn't want to trouble his unfamiliar classmates, and was about to wave his hand when Li Muchen stopped him.

Li Muchen said, leaving no room for refusal.

"We'll be at ease if you're alright. Wait for me, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he walked out.

He Shen's roommates started teasing him after Li Muchen left.

"Your brother-in-law is quite something; he's very grateful to you."

He Shen was so angry that he threw the pillow away.

"Get lost! You dare say that to his face? Believe me, he'll knock all your teeth out."

His roommate made a face and quickly pretended to sew his mouth shut. He gave He Shen half a glass of warm water and tucked him in.

"Then you're in for a rough time. The road to winning back your wife will be long and arduous, and you'll have such a vicious brother-in-law blocking your way."

"But you're just so stubborn. If you had confessed earlier, you would have had the beauty fussing over you in bed by now. It would have been worth getting a few beatings."

He Shen weakly uttered the word "get lost" again.

He felt so powerless that he began to waver.

When a person is physically exhausted, even their heart is particularly vulnerable.

At this time, I especially crave the care and attention of others.

If Li Tian is willing to take care of him, he will probably recover without taking medicine.

He Shen was lost in thought when he drifted off to sleep.

Shen Yi was pulled over by Li Muchen.

Although he disliked He Shen very much, he still did his best to treat him so that Li Tian wouldn't feel guilty.

The force applied with the needles wasn't gentle; it carried a hint of venting.

After inserting the needle, Shen Yi took out a small porcelain bottle.

He poured out nine small pills onto a piece of white paper, wrapped them up, and gave them to He Shen's roommate.

"After he wakes up, give him some congee, then one pill of this medicine. He doesn't need to take anything else."

"I'll come back to give him another acupuncture treatment at this time tomorrow, and he should be almost fully recovered."

My roommate remained polite and courteous in front of others, repeatedly expressing his gratitude.

"Excuse me, is he really not needed to be taken to the hospital?"

Shen Yi waved his hand.

"He just caught a cold, and traditional Chinese medicine is the most suitable way to treat him. At this time, it is useless to inject cold fluids into his body. That can only reduce fever, not dispel cold, and it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"My Shen family has been a reputable family for generations; this little illness is nothing to us."

My roommate apologized again.

You can't afford to offend a good doctor, so he personally escorted the two of them out.

When I checked on He Shen again after I got back, he was indeed sleeping much more soundly.

During dinner that evening, Li Tian specifically asked Li Muchen about the situation.

Li Muchen didn't hide anything and told him everything.

Lying is not a good habit, and he doesn't.

The key issue is that they're too lazy to cover up the lie.

Hearing that Shen Yi had already seen He Shen, Li Tian felt relieved.

She didn't know what else she could do.

She had no cooking skills, and it was pointless to even think about it while she was at school.

However, after finishing her meal, Li Tian still went to the restaurant and asked Song Mei to cook her a pot of vegetable porridge.

And he had Brother Zhang personally deliver it to them.

Only after finishing this task did Li Tian feel completely at ease.

That evening, she called Liu Mingzhao and briefly explained what had happened that day.

Her direct supervisor was sick, so she could only report her work to a higher-level supervisor.

Li Tian felt that Gao Jin must have someone behind him.

Otherwise, she had only met Gao Jin a few times and hadn't had much interaction with him, so why would she have asked him to jump into the lake to prove his innocence?

Even if she's incredibly charming, it's not enough to warrant that!

It completely defies the logic of normal human thinking.

Liu Mingzhao took what Li Tian said very seriously.

Those in this line of work cannot overlook any suspicious details.

With He Shen ill, Liu Mingzhao activated another line of communication.

Both of his key aides are involved and must be thoroughly investigated.

On the third day, a teacher she didn't know very well called Li Tian away.

With just one word, "iris," Li Tian knew they were one of his own.

Her code name was Iris.

"Gao Jin has been misled; someone wrote her a love letter in your name, saying that you admire his literary talent..."

The person speaking couldn't help but chuckle.

I have no idea how Gao Jin got in; how could anyone believe that!

"I've already got my hands on that letter and sent it for analysis, but it might not be useful. Gao Jin looks at it frequently, but it's hard to find any useful fingerprints."

Li Tian snorted, just as expected.

"The handwriting looks a lot like mine?"

The man nodded.

"Hmm, most people can't tell the difference."

Li Tian was speechless.

There's no other explanation but to say it's targeting her.

"Oh, and we also caught the boy who caused trouble at the scene of the drowning."

Li Tian was stunned for a moment.

This group works very well together, with a clear division of labor and is quite professional.

"Did they find anything?"

The man shook his head.

"No, he's just a small fry. He was bribed with a hundred dollars and doesn't even know who the briber is."

"However, we will continue to investigate based on his description, and we will not let any clues slip by."

Li Tian nodded.

Was it really the work of Chu Xun's mother behind the scenes?

It seems they won't gain any real benefit from dealing with her through emotional means.

At most, people will say she's fickle, or to put it more bluntly, promiscuous.

If you don't pay attention to the rumors, they will soon disappear.

So what exactly is their purpose?
