At the other end of the phone, Luo Xiaoxi fell silent.

  Su Jianan knew Luo Xiaoxi, so she stopped her work, stayed silent with her for a long while and asked, “Xiaoxi, what’s wrong?”


  “In fact, he doesn’t need to ask anyone,” Luo Xiaoxi said in a relaxed tone, half-jokingly and half-self-deprecatingly, “because Su Yicheng doesn’t love me that much.”


  Lu Boyan loved Su Jianan, so he put up with and even indulged Su Jianan.

  Su Yicheng didn’t love her like that, so they quarreled, had cold wars, and fought until whoever won.

  It was not her or Su Yicheng’s fault. Instead, her dad was right about them: They were not suitable for each other.

  “Xiaoxi, don’t overthink. He’s just used to his girlfriends listening to him all the time.” Su Jianan quickly added, “Which of his former girlfriends did not guess his mind and carefully get along with him? Who would dare to argue with him?

  “I’m not saying that you should guess his mind to be around him. Xiaoxi, I’m saying that he is arguing with you because you’re different to him.”


  Luo Xiaoxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Damn you, when did quarreling with me become my prerogative?”


  “You know my brother. He always acts like a gentleman. He doesn’t like quarreling at the negotiating table, let alone with a woman.” Su Jianan said helplessly, “Xiaoxi, he cares about you, but he chose the wrong way to express his feelings.”


  Luo Xiaoxi was not slow. Although Su Jianan did not point it out, Luo Xiaoxi realized that she might also choose the wrong way to express her feelings.

  Su Yicheng was used to being accommodated, but she was used to being willful. She was also to blame in the quarreling with Su Yicheng.

  “Never mind.” Luo Xiaoxi ended the topic. “You get back to your work, and I’ll prepare for Friday’s contest.”


  “OK.”


  Su Jianan hung up the phone and opened a document. She prayed in her heart that nothing would happen in the office today.

  God might miss her voice because, at the next second, the alarm bell outside her office rang. Captain Yan said someone found a male body in the suburbs and they needed to arrive there immediately.

  “Jianan, can you go?” Captain Yan was concerned about Su Jianan’s injured right leg.

  Jianan nodded affirmatively. “I’m OK.”


  “That’s good. Bring your stuff, and let’s go!”


  As Su Jianan and the vice squad rushed to the suburbs, at another corner of the city, another bunch of people also headed for the suburbs.

  They were Kang Ruicheng and a few of his men.

  For more than a month, Kang Ruicheng had been looking for a woman, but that woman was just like an illusion that he once had because he could not find a trace of her in this world.

  As a result, Kang Ruicheng had been moody, and all of his minions dared not to talk to him often. Everyone around him had been cautious.

  “Brother Dongzi, that kid Wang Hong is dead, right?” One of the minions asked Dongzi on the passenger’s seat while driving.

  “Are we going to pass there?” Dongzi said, “Now, the cops must have discovered him. We can check later if he’s dead or not.”


  Sitting at the backseat, Kang Ruicheng frowned impatiently after hearing this, and he ordered. “Be more careful in the future. Don’t get into any unnecessary troubles.”


  “Yes!” Dongzi nodded respectfully and then explained. “The situation last night was special. We left quickly after handling Wang Hong.”


  At this time, the car turned, and Dongzi smiled and pointed outside the windows. “We handled the kid here yesterday. Hey, the cops found him.”


  At this time on the hillside beside the road, the police cordoned off a place and were examing the crime scene.

  Kang Ruicheng was initially not interested in this kind of things, but when the car turned, he glimpsed a slim and tall figure out of the corner of his eye.

  “Slower!”


  He suddenly screamed and kicked the back of the driver’s seat. The young man hurriedly slowed down the car and asked reverently, “Brother Kang, what happened?”


  Kang Ruicheng did not answer. He lowered the window and turned around to look for the figure he saw.

  It was not hard to find her. As he expected, as long as she dared to reappear in his sights, he could find her in a second.

  There were a lot of police officers on the hillside, but only two women among them. One was the criminal police, and the other was her. Wearing white gloves and kneeling beside the body, she was carefully examining the body. The autumn sun shone through the tall canopy and scattered on her, making her look more beautiful and charming.

  Although the car slowed down, it quickly passed the crime scene.

  The young man driving did not dare to speed up so he asked carefully, “Brother Kang, what happened? Shall I pull over?”


  Kang Ruicheng put his slender fingers upon his lips, and after contemplating for a while, he suddenly laughed and said to himself, “How can I forget?”


  Dongzi had long reminded him that it was easier to find the woman if they knew what she did.

  At that time, he had been looking for the woman for half a month. She was as undetectable as an invisible person. He was so furious that he almost went out of control. All he did at that time was losing his temper, and he even forgot that she had said that she was a medical examiner.

  In a small city like City A, how many female medical examiners were there?

  This time, she could no longer slip through his fingers.

  It was the first time that Kang Ruicheng had laughed in more than a month, but Dongzi felt creepy. “Brother Kang, we’ll work harder to find that woman as soon as possible……”


  “No need. I found the woman.”


  Kang Ruicheng put his hands under the back of his head. He stretched his body and slouched on the back seat of the car. The smile on the corners of his lips was real.

  Dongzi and the driver stared at each other blandly, and they thought the same. “Hell!”


  Kang Ruicheng used to be one of the targets of Interpol. He spent almost every day in a state of nervousness. There were few times when he sat so comfortably and smiled so happily.

  That woman actually changed him.

  They did not know if the woman was lucky or unfortunate.

  Su Jianan, who was still examining the body on the spot, did not know that Kang Ruicheng had targeted her. She told the squad the death time, which was about between two to four this morning. Moreover, this was the first crime scene, and she also knew the fatal injuries and weapons the murderer used.

  At this time, Xiao Ying also found information on the owner of the body: Wang Hong, orphan, unemployed, suspected of engaging in illegal activities. Moreover, he died mysteriously.

  It was another tricky murder case.

  Until the afternoon, when they were about to get off work, Captain Yan found that Wang Hong’s death might be related to a person named Dongzi. Evidence showed that Dongzi and Wang Hong had been together earlier this morning. Dongzi was under high suspicion, but there was no direct evidence to prove that Dongzi killed him.

  The police could only have Dongzi in the police station to “assist their investigation” while checking his background information, but they found nothing.

  After Dongzi came to the police station, he was not very cooperative. He admitted meeting with Wang Hong in the early morning but said that he left after 1 a.m. After that, he did not know what happened to Wang Hong.

  The police did not have the exact evidence to detain Dongzi, so they could only restrict him from leaving City A and also let him call someone to bail him.

  Xiao Ying asked Su Jianan, “Do you think the man is the murderer?”


  Su Jianan shook her head. “Before finding conclusive evidence, based on the presumption of innocence, we cannot deem a person guilty.”


  Xiao Ying shook her head and sighed. Before she finished her sigh, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Su Jianan’s hand. “Look at the door! Quickly look at the door! God, I’m going to faint. He can probably beat your Boss Lu when it comes to looks!”


  Su Jianan looked out of the door. At first glance, she only thought that the man looked familiar, but after remembering who he was, she had the chills.

  It was because of that man’s gaze.

  He looked at her, but his smiling eyes were like a cold-blooded poisonous snake, sticking out his poisoning tongue to her.

  Su Jianan did not want to be recognized, so she looked away and got ready to leave the office. However, the man’s voice rang behind her. “Miss Su.”


  She froze—He recognized her.

  Kang Ruicheng walked to Su Jianan and was going to reach his hand out to lift Su Jianan’s chin. “Your name is Su Jianan.”


  Su Jianan dodged his hand. “I don’t know you.”


  “But I have been looking for you for so long.” Kang Ruicheng approached Su Jianan, “I said I’d find you.”


  “This is the police station, and you can’t just come in.” Su Jianan said coldly, “If you have no business here, please leave immediately.”


  Kang Ruicheng scanned the entire office. “Actually, I don’t like this place either, but today, you called me to come here.”


  Another police officer came over, and then Su Jianan knew that the man was here to post bail for Dongzi.

  “Is he related to a murder suspect?

  “Sure enough, he’s not a good man!”


  Noticing the disgust in Su Jianan’s eyes, Kang Ruicheng was not angry. Anyway, he was not a good man, indeed. He smiled and followed the police officer to sign the papers and post the bail.

  At the same time, Xiao Ying hastily stopped Su Jianan. “Do you know that handsome guy?”


  “I’ve met him once, but I don’t know him.”


  Su Jianan went back to the office to get her stuff, and finally left the office in a hurry, but did not expect to be stopped by Kang Ruicheng just outside the office.

  He reached out to her. “I’m Kang Ruicheng. You know my name now?”


  Su Jianan said coldly, “I’m not interested in you.”


  “Are you?” Chilling smiles gradually spread across Kang Ruicheng’s eyes. “But I’m very interested in you.”


  At this time, Su Jianan’s mobile phone slightly vibrated. She checked and found it was a text from Lu Boyan—He had already arrived at the police station.

  She put away the phone. “I told you that I’m married.”


  Kang Ruicheng shrugged as if he did not care about it and approached her, whispering, “I don’t mind you’re married.”


  Su Jianan found him so repelling that she almost vomited, so she said the following words one by one, “But I find a pervert repelling!”


  She walked past Kang Ruicheng and fled the office.

  Standing beside Kang Ruicheng, Dongzi was stunned. “Brother, is that the woman you’ve been looking for?”


  “Find her husband.” Kang Ruicheng snorted coldly. “Marrying my woman? He’s courting death!”


  Dongzi couldn’t help but tremble. “I’ll find him as soon as I get back!”


  The two walked out of the police station and saw Su Jianan get on a car and close the door. The vehicle quickly started and drove into the rush hour traffic.

  Dongzi looked at the car’s badge and blinked his eyes. “Aston Martin ONE77, Brother, I’m afraid he’s not an ordinary guy.”


  Kang Ruicheng watched the Aston Martin ONE77 drive out of his sight, hands in both pockets. Nevertheless, he smiled more widely. “It’ll be fun.”


  If her husband was just an ordinary guy, he would lose the fun of stealing Su Jianan away from him.

  But now, it was fun.
