A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

Gu Feng waved goodbye to his advisor and watched his car drive away before turning and walking into the hospital.

At that moment, a car sped in from outside the hospital gate.

Upon seeing Gu Feng slowly walking in ahead, the driver not only didn't slow down, but instead slammed on the gas.

With a roar, the engine sped towards Gu Feng.

"Screech—" The ear-piercing sound of brakes rang out just as the car was about to hit Gu Feng, but it didn't stop completely and continued to hurtle straight toward him.

Gu Feng, who was deep in thought, was distracted. When he heard the strange noise behind him, he was startled. Judging from his intuition, the car rushing behind him was no more than two or three meters away.

In that extremely dangerous moment, he didn't even dare to turn his head. Almost entirely on instinct, he leaped upwards.

Gu Feng's jumping ability has always been amazing.

Even though his internal energy was far from recovered and his body was still weak, he still managed to lift himself more than a meter high.

The moment he leaped into the air, the car crashed into the spot where he had just been standing.

With a muffled "boom," Gu Feng's feet landed right on the front of the car.

The hood of the car was trampled into a large dent.

This thrilling, unexpected, coincidental, and explosive scene is something you'd only see in Hollywood blockbusters under normal circumstances.

Such a sudden occurrence in the dead of night is truly astonishing.

Unfortunately, it was late at night and no one was lucky enough to capture this wonderful moment.

Having narrowly escaped this ordeal, Gu Feng's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

If he had reacted even a fraction of a second slower, his lower body would probably be ruined by now.

Turning around in a rage, Gu Feng was even more furious. The person sitting in the driver's seat wasn't an assassin at all, nor a stranger, but someone he knew all too well—none other than his only apprentice, Chu Hanliang!

At this moment, Chu Hanliang was sitting there looking embarrassed.

He drove in and immediately noticed that it was Gu Feng walking slowly ahead. He suddenly had a mischievous idea and wanted to play a joke on him.

Little did they know that the joke had gone too far, almost resulting in a real death.

Seeing Gu Feng jump down from the hood, Chu Hanliang, though distressed by the huge dent in the hood, couldn't care less about anything else. He quickly opened the door, got out, and ran to Gu Feng, grinning shamelessly, "Master, I knew I wasn't wrong! Your lightness skill is truly amazing! I'm so proud to have a master like you!"

"Is that so? But I feel ashamed and embarrassed to have a disciple like you." Gu Feng laughed angrily, but his laughter was tinged with coldness and chill.

Chu Hanliang was shocked and knew something was wrong. He immediately tried to retreat.

But it was too late—Gu Feng struck with lightning speed, banging his head repeatedly, landing seven or eight solid blows, a total of twenty sharp raps.

Poor Chu Hanliang, a tough guy, was beaten until tears streamed down his face. He covered his head with bumps and squatted there groaning incessantly.

"Damn it! Others take on apprentices, so I do too. The apprentices they take on are filial and obedient, never daring to do anything wrong; but what about the ones I take on? They're complete ingrates! They'd do anything to betray their master and ancestors, I must have been blind!" Gu Feng was furious and cursed loudly. Even after cursing, he still felt unsatisfied and kicked Chu Hanliang hard.

"Master, please stop hitting me! I really didn't mean it, I just wanted to play a joke on you, just a joke!" Chu Hanliang covered his head with tears in his eyes, squatting there and begging for mercy.

This joke has really gone too far.

"How can you joke like that? You dare to make such a joke? Do you even respect me as your master?!" Gu Feng became angrier as he spoke, and rushed forward to deliver another beating.

Chu Hanliang received another beating and dared not utter a sound this time. His cheap master was in a rage, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, and the more mistakes he would make, the more beatings he would receive.

However, Gu Feng's original energy has not yet fully recovered.

After this strenuous exercise, I was covered in sweat, my limbs were weak, and I plopped down on the steps in front of the hospital, panting heavily.

Although Chu Hanliang's martial arts skills were far inferior to Gu Feng's, his ability to withstand blows was truly unmatched.

If it were anyone else, after being beaten so badly by Gu Feng, they would have been carried straight to the emergency room—Lei Ri was a perfect example. But he only lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up, walking over to Gu Feng, sitting down, taking out a cigarette, and smoking it in a sullen voice.

"Give me one." Gu Feng held out his hand.

Chu Hanliang silently handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

Gu Feng imitated Chu Hanliang, took a big drag, and immediately choked and coughed violently, even bringing tears to his eyes.

Chu Hanliang smiled. Gu Feng's usual shrewdness and composure almost always made him forget his master's real age. Only now did he suddenly realize—behind that feigned seriousness, his master was actually quite inexperienced.

"What are you doing at the hospital?" Gu Feng asked, throwing away his cigarette. He had learned many of the modern people's hobbies, but there were some things he couldn't learn, nor should he.

Chu Hanliang quickly replied, "I'm here to investigate a case."

Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he tentatively asked, "He Qiaoqing's case?"

Chu Hanliang nodded hurriedly: "Master, you know about this case too?"

"Nonsense. I'm the one who saved her." Gu Feng rolled his eyes at him, but he knew in his heart that Chu Hanliang was able to come to investigate the case in the middle of the night, most likely because of what he had said to He Tiansheng and his wife.

"Oh? Then Master should know a lot about He Qiaoqing's matter, right?" Chu Hanliang was just wondering where to start when he found out that his cheap master was the one in the know. It was like finding a needle in a haystack.

"I don't know anything about her. All I know is He Qiaoqing's body," Gu Feng blurted out, then realized his words were inappropriate and quickly corrected himself, "I meant her physical condition."

"Did Master discover any other suspicious points?" Chu Hanliang was a little disappointed, but still held onto a sliver of hope.

"There are some suspicious points. But do I need to tell you about someone who dares to betray his master and ancestors?" Gu Feng glared at him irritably.

"Master, I already told you, I really just wanted to make a joke," Chu Hanliang said, feeling wronged.

"Are you kidding? What if I had been even a fraction slower and you had bumped into me? What would you have done then?!"

Mentioning this matter made Gu Feng furious again.

What else could we do but carry it inside?

Isn't the hospital right here?

Chu Hanliang thought about it without a care in the world, but dared not say another word.

My master is not like a bureau chief. A bureau chief is weak when facing the strong and strong when facing the weak; but my master is strong when facing the weak and even stronger when facing the strong.

If you want to see the sun rise tomorrow, you'd better be sensible.

"Hmph, Chu Hanliang, you only became my disciple during the day, and you treat your master like this tonight. Someone like you who changes your mind faster than flipping through a book, I... hmph, I can't even be bothered to talk to you!"

Gu Feng looked heartbroken, and the way he looked at Chu Hanliang was like looking at a lump of mud that couldn't be plastered on a wall.

"Master, you've already scolded me and hit me, so calm down. I was just joking, I really didn't mean any harm. If I really wanted you dead, would I have bothered running you over with a car? I would have just pulled out a gun." — Of course, Chu Hanliang only dared to say the latter part to himself.

Seeing Chu Hanliang's pitiful appearance, Gu Feng felt somewhat helpless. He had been blind to have taken in such a wretched child. He sighed and asked, "Tell me, do you think He Qiaoqing drowned accidentally, committed suicide, or was murdered?"

"Isn't this exactly the key thing I need to figure out?" Chu Hanliang replied blankly.

"I'm asking you a question, so answer honestly. Stop giving me that nonsense." Gu Feng reached out and smacked Chu Hanliang on the head.

"Suicide? I think that's unlikely. People who really want to die usually do it secretly, so no one will know, which achieves their goal. To specifically choose this day and go to a crowded place seems illogical. Besides, if it were an accidental drowning, she would definitely call for help. The explosive power of a person struggling in their death throes is astonishing. With so many people present, surely one or two would be able to hear her. As for homicide... that's even more baffling. Why would someone kill her, and why at this particular time? All of these things need to be investigated. So, Master, all three options you've given me are difficult to choose right now."

"Damn it, all that talk was nonsense," Gu Feng cursed irritably.

Chu Hanliang shrugged and lowered his head. He had only just begun investigating and gathering evidence for this case, and currently had no leads whatsoever. Suicide, homicide, accident... anything was possible.

"Alright, since you're completely clueless, I'll give you a hint." Gu Feng said, and then recounted to Chu Hanliang what he had overheard in the ICU doctor's office.

"Huh?" Chu Hanliang was taken aback, his brows furrowing. "So, He Qiaoqing took hallucinogenic drugs at the party and then jumped into the pool in a daze?"

"That's possible." Gu Feng then told Chu Hanliang in detail about the conflict he had with Mao Renxin at the entrance of the operating room.

Chu Hanliang's eyes widened in disbelief—this newly emerged situation pointed in another direction: homicide.

"Oh my god, so Mao Renxin deliberately created trouble to prevent you from saving He Qiaoqing?" Chu Hanliang's expression changed.

That's what I think.

"Then... He Qiaoqing's drowning might not have been an accident at all, but a murder?" Chu Hanliang asked again.

"I can't be sure about that," Gu Feng shook his head. He Qiaoqing's matter was too strange; Mao Renxin's behavior was also too bizarre. This matter was very mysterious.

"Then I think I know what to do." Chu Hanliang said, standing up abruptly, too lazy to even go back into the hospital. He felt that He Qiaoqing's family probably didn't know much more than he, her master.

Gu Feng wanted to say something, but he saw that Chu Hanliang had already gotten into the car as if his pants were on fire and was about to leave.
