After the electrocardiogram was completed, the adhesive residue from the electrodes left some marks on Lu Zhenghan's chest, so he went to the bathroom to clean them.

Xia Qiuran shook her head to quickly regain her senses. What had she been thinking about all day? Once she was successful in her career, she could have any kind of man she wanted.

Remembering that Jin Yingyue had just said the cabinet was messy, Xia Qiuran decided to tidy it up quickly.

But when I opened the closet, I found it neatly arranged. Shirts and pants were folded into squares according to style, and even socks were neatly arranged to one side.

That's too strict. If this is considered messy, then she really doesn't know how she'd manage to tidy it up.

Looking further down, Xia Qiuran saw a neatly folded but very old and even a bit torn piece of clothing.

What is this? It's so old, yet I can't bear to throw it away.

It looks like a vest.

Xia Qiuran thought of all the things Lu Zhenghan had given her before, and this was a good opportunity to see what they were and buy one for him after she was discharged from the hospital.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qiuran reached out and picked it up.

Holding one corner in each hand, her eyes wide open, she saw a pair of men's underwear, originally dark blue but now faded from washing, with frayed edges, displayed plainly before her.

Xia Qiuran was stunned.

Upon seeing its loose and sloppy design, I inexplicably pictured Lu Zhenghan's usual manner of doing things.

It's often said that men have a sentimental attachment to their underwear; once they get used to a pair, they won't change them even if you give them ten new ones. It seems that this statement is indeed true.

But it already has holes and is so loose, it'll make a clattering sound when you walk on it.

Just as she was thinking, Xia Qiuran suddenly felt someone walking over to her. When she turned around, she met Lu Zhenghan's gaze, which held an indescribable meaning.

Xia Qiuran's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she quickly threw the things in her hands into the cabinet.

"I'm sorry, Grandma asked me to tidy up the closet, and when I saw this one was broken, I thought I'd buy you a new one."

Xia Qiuran froze on the spot, so nervous that she was almost incoherent. After she finished speaking, she immediately realized that something was wrong. How could she have given Lu Zhenghan underwear?

"No, I didn't know what it was before I picked it up. It's fine though, you can keep wearing it."

Oh dear, what is she saying?

Could it be that Lu Zhenghan suspects she's been secretly in love with him and is plotting something against him?

Xia Qiuran was extremely nervous, and it seemed that no matter how she explained it, it wouldn't be right, so she simply ran out.

"Never mind, I'll go back to my ward first."

Let Lu Zhenghan think whatever he wants.

Seeing that Xia Qiuran was shy, Lu Zhenghan did not chase after her. He took out his underwear from the cabinet, and his cheeks belatedly flushed red.

...

Lu Zhenghan was very efficient. The next day, he used his connections to find out that there was no trace of Li Shuangshuang in other cities.

Upon receiving the news, the Public Security Bureau did not hesitate and immediately dispatched a team to Ma Daguang's home.

Xia Qiuran's injuries were not too serious, and at her strong request, she was discharged from the hospital early and went to Ma Daguang's house with the police team.

When they arrived, Ma Daguang had just finished his night shift and was heading home. Seeing so many police officers, a hint of unease crept into his eyes.

But he quickly composed himself and met Xia Qiuran's gaze with complete composure.

"Xia Qiuran, you've already sent my wife to a shelter, and now you're bringing so many uniformed people to my house. What do you mean by that?"

His tone was not afraid at all, but rather carried an air of accusation.

"Let me tell you, I, Ma Daguang, am not someone you can just bully."

Xia Qiuran didn't back down; she turned around and brought the plump aunt behind her over.

"Really? Then take a look at who this is."

When Ma Daguang saw that it was Aunt Pang, his heart skipped a beat, his fingers clenched involuntarily, and he hesitated for a moment before speaking impatiently.

What are you doing here?

"Ma Daguang, tell me, did you kill my daughter?"

The fat aunt still had bandages wrapped around her head from the beating her son had given her. When she saw Ma Daguang, she was reminded of her poor daughter, and then she rushed over to him in an emotional outburst.

She was blinded by greed and sold her wonderful daughter. For the past few years, she has been beaten and scolded by her son and daughter-in-law every day. She is filled with remorse and is determined to get justice today.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Your daughter ran away with someone else. I haven't even asked your family for her yet, and you're already causing trouble."

Ma Daguang flung his hand, nearly knocking Aunt Pang over.

Fortunately, the police officer standing behind her caught the fat aunt in time.

"Ma Daguang, watch your behavior. We are currently investigating missing persons. Please cooperate."

"Officer, I am a law-abiding citizen. As long as it is a reasonable and legal period, I will definitely cooperate." Ma Daguang smiled slightly, and answered the police officer's question with a playful attitude.

"Why didn't you report your wife missing to the police?" the police officer continued.

"Officer, my wife ran off with someone else. If this happened to you, would you publicize it so that everyone knows?" Ma Daguang rolled his eyes and answered bluntly.

"How dare you speak like that?"

The police officer got anxious as soon as he heard this. He pointed at Ma Daguang with one finger, clenched his other fist, and was about to smash it at him.

I've never seen such an arrogant suspect before; he really needs a lot of education.

Ma Daguang covered his head and shouted loudly, "What are you doing? Do you think the police would beat people for no reason?"

Xia Qiuran forcefully blocked the police. She understood that Ma Daguang was deliberately provoking the police so that he could turn the tables and buy time to seek a turning point. Unfortunately for him, she was here today and would not give him any chance to escape.

"Ma Daguang, nothing you say will make a difference today. According to regulations, we are going to check on your residence now," Xia Qiuran said calmly, standing in front of Ma Daguang.

"Sure, they can go, but you're not eligible."

Ma Daguang glared at Xia Qiuran, his teeth grinding together as he desperately suppressed his anger, his eyes burning like embers.

He couldn't help but think that he would definitely pin this meddlesome woman down on the bed and do it hard when he had the chance in the future...

He didn't know why, but every time he saw Xia Qiuran, he felt a little uneasy, as if Xia Qiuran had known everything he had done. It felt like someone with God's perspective was monitoring him at all times.

Those police officers had no grudge against him, and their coming to find him now was probably instigated by Xia Qiuran. Routine checks might not be that thorough, and as long as he asked Xia Qiuran for help, there shouldn't be any problems.

"This is a military doctor specially transferred from the bureau to assist us in handling the case. This is the transfer order. Ma Daguang, do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, the police officer behind him immediately took out a transfer order from his pocket and placed it in front of Ma Daguang.

Ma Daguang was so shocked that his eyes trembled, filled with shock and disbelief.

When did this bitch become so capable? She can even get a transfer order.

Ma Daguang looked at the transfer order again and again.

It must be her lover, the regimental commander. Humph, how can a regimental commander have such great authority? He must report this to his superiors after this.

If you dare to make things difficult for him, then none of us will have an easy time.
