A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

When Su Man'er woke up, it was already daylight.

Peng Jingpei, who slept with her, disappeared, along with her husband.

Without thinking, she took out her phone and dialed the number.

"Gu Feng, where are you?" Su Man'er asked softly, though she already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on—this guy was probably off having another fling with that girl.

"Hello, Dr. Liu." Gu Feng suddenly said this on the other end of the phone.

"Gu Feng, it's me, it's my sister. Can you hear me?" Su Man'er was completely confused.

"What? Miss He is awake?" Gu Feng suddenly cheered hysterically.

"What? Miss He is awake? Gu Feng, what are you doing? Who are you talking to?" Su Man'er was completely baffled, even the nun couldn't figure it out.

"Really? That's great!" Gu Feng actually laughed foolishly on the other end of the phone again.

"Hey! Gu Feng! What are you doing? Don't scare me..." Su Man'er tensed up immediately, but before she could finish speaking, the receiver went dead.

After receiving the call, Su Man'er was completely stunned. What was going on? Could it be that the aftereffects of being hit by her car last time had flared up again?

The thought of this made Su Man'er's heart ache.

She would rather he be fooling around with other women right now than have him go back to being as crazy as he used to be.

At least, his fooling around proves he's normal.

She dialed again, her heart pounding, but several times in a row, the call failed to connect.

Twenty minutes later, a long "beep" finally came from the phone, and the call was connected.

At that moment, Su Man'er felt like she was about to cry tears of joy.

"Hey, Gu Feng! Can you hear me?" she shouted urgently into the other end of the line.

"I can hear you," Gu Feng said calmly.

"Where are you now?" Su Man'er quickly asked, her heart finally calming down a bit—hearing the coherent answer, it seemed like things had returned to normal.

"I'm at the police station."

"Huh?" Su Man'er's heart, which had just settled, clenched again. She asked in a trembling voice, "What were you doing there? What happened?"

"Nothing happened. I'm with Chu Hanliang."

"Oh... then don't go away, I'll come and get you right away."

"it is good."

After hanging up Su Man'er's call, Gu Feng turned around and saw Chu Hanliang still staring blankly at him. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Master... how dare you lie to Mao Renxin like this?" Chu Hanliang murmured.

In fact, it wasn't just Mao Renxin who was fooled; he himself was completely deceived by Gu Feng's lifelike performance.

"Isn't this good? The truth of the case has finally come to light," Gu Feng replied calmly.

"Is this what you call the truth coming out?" Chu Hanliang's eyes widened.

"How could it not be? Mao Renxin has already confessed that he harmed He Qiaoqing, and because he was afraid of going to jail, he committed suicide out of fear of punishment." Gu Feng's tone remained indifferent.

"But I have a feeling that things aren't that simple, and the case isn't over at all," Chu Hanliang said reluctantly.

He thought so, and so did Gu Feng. He just sighed and said, "Chu Hanliang, now I finally understand why you've been a lowly criminal police officer for over ten years."

"Why?" Chu Hanliang asked blankly.

"Because when you should let go, you refuse to. You keep pushing yourself until you're completely exhausted. How can you climb the ladder if you're so out of touch with reality?"

"I... I just want the truth." Chu Hanliang's face turned bright red.

"The truth is often cruel and cold. Why did I lie to Mao Renxin? Wasn't it also to seek the truth? But what was the result? You saw it with your own eyes." Gu Feng looked expressionlessly at Mao Renxin, who was being carried out.

Chu Hanliang was speechless for a long time. But in the end, he still felt unwilling: "This case... is it really over just like that?"

"Yes." Gu Feng nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

"But—" Chu Hanliang wanted to say something more, but Gu Feng waved his hand without turning his head and walked straight away.

"Xiao Chu, congratulations!" Chu Hanliang wanted to chase after him, but the bureau chief was already walking towards him with a big smile on his face.

"Congratulations to me for what?" Chu Hanliang was completely confused.

"The drowning case of He Qiaoqing was solved smoothly in just a few hours. Isn't that great news? Don't worry, I'll talk to the leaders again, and we should be able to promote you to captain soon."

"But... Mao Renxin is dead!"

Chu Hanliang found it hard to believe.

In his eyes, the case was not solved at all; rather, with Mao Renxin's death, all the clues were completely cut off.

This can only be described as a temporary halt, far from being a complete crackdown. There must be some unknown conspiracy hidden behind this, which is very likely a shocking conspiracy.

"Mao Renxin committed suicide out of fear of punishment; everyone present witnessed it. I will personally write this case report," the director said calmly.

"Chief, I have a feeling this case is a bit strange; there's clearly something left uninvestigated!"

"One case at a time. If there are other cases later, we can investigate them separately. But for now, we can close down the case of 'He Qiaoqing's drowning'." The director waved his hand.

"But--"

"No buts or buts. You haven't slept a wink all night because of this case. Now, put everything down and go home to sleep. If you're really exhausted, I can give you a few days off. That's all." After saying that, the director ignored Chu Hanliang and turned to leave.

In the interrogation room, only Chu Hanliang remained, sitting there blankly.

When Gu Feng and Peng Liangpei stood at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Su Man'er's car had not yet arrived.

"Gu Feng, is this case really closed like this?" Peng Liangpei asked softly.

"This ending might not be a bad thing. We were just meddling in other people's business anyway. Now that the mouse is dead, why bother asking who kept it?" Gu Feng sighed.

Mao Renxin's death left behind too many unanswered questions.

Gu Feng's intuition told him that if he insisted on investigating further, what would be uncovered would be even more shady secrets, involving a wider range of people and events.

"So, in your opinion, will He Qiaoqing wake up safely?"

"He'll wake up, he definitely will. But to say he'll be completely safe and sound—even Hua Tuo himself wouldn't dare to guarantee that. We can only wait and see." Gu Feng shrugged.

"That's true. Never mind all that, I'm exhausted after running around all night." Peng Jingpei stretched, her slender waist curving into a charming arc.

"Would you like me to give you a massage to relax?" Gu Feng asked with a lecherous glint in his eyes.

"No way. Last time at the movie theater..." Peng Jingpei's face flushed bright red. She couldn't finish her sentence, no matter what. Thinking of that scene at the movie theater, she was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole and disappear.

Su Man'er's Cadillac arrived late, but it finally did.

Once inside the car, Su Man'er carefully checked him over from head to toe to make sure he was really alright before finally putting her mind at ease.

When the car came to a complete stop, Gu Feng looked outside and couldn't help but wonder, "Weren't we going home? Why are we at school?"

"Ugh, do you think every day is the weekend? You should be in school." Su Man'er rolled her eyes in a reproachful tone.

"Oh." Gu Feng suddenly realized.

"Alright, get off the bus. Study hard, eat well, and don't cause trouble," Su Man'er instructed. Originally, she wanted to say to Peng Liangpei as well: You too, study hard and don't spend all your time thinking about flirting with other people's men. But after thinking about it, she held back in the end.

"Okay. Goodbye, sister." Gu Feng said, pushing open the door and getting out of the car.

"Goodbye, Sister Su." Peng Jingpei also said goodbye obediently.
