Xue Lin slowly opened her eyes. Her head was feeling heavy.

  "Hey, how are you feeling?" someone asked.

  Xue Lin gave a side glance and saw Ge Chen staring at her with a worried expression.

  Xue Lin frowned and sat up. She curled the fingers of her right hand and rubbed her forehead. "Did I just fall asleep?"

  Ge Chen described, "You not only fell asleep, but you slept for ten hours. No matter how much I called you, you didn’t respond."

  No wonder he was worried. She was completely dead for ten hours.

  "……I think it’s the water," Xue Lin faintly stated. Her head was dizzy. She couldn’t clear her head no matter how many times she shook her head.

  She added, "It had some sleeping pills. I never had sleeping pills my entire life. My head feels heavy and weird. Call the police. I think I know how the killers got them both. It has to be the water mixed with sleeping pills."

  "The police officers are already here. I think they doubt you and insisted on staying back,"

  "Doubt me?" Xue Lin chuckled. "Let them come…… wait, I need to wash my face."

  There was no way she would greet anyone with her mouth full of stinky smell.

  She tried to get off the bed but her legs got tangled in the blanket. Ge Chen caught her by the waist and said, "Easy, take your time. They are already in the room."

  Xue Lin blinked and looked at the direction where Ge Chen pointed. She saw two police officers and one of them was Inspector Han.

  Spotting her dumbfounded expression, Inspector Han coughed. He was a bit embarrassed. He clarified, "It’s not that we are suspecting you for anything. We just needed to know what caused you to suddenly lose consciousness."

  "Did you test the water jar? If you didn’t, take it to the laboratory. I’m going to wash my face in the meantime," after Xue Lin said that, she went to the washroom.

  Right now, she was in her fifth brother’s bedroom. After she fell asleep, the police allowed her to sleep there.

  It was six in the morning when she woke up. In spite of the time, the relatives were awake. They couldn’t even sleep.

  Just yesterday morning this place was bustling with people and laughter. Now, those people were mourning. Their eyes were red and wet. They all had eye bags under the eyes. They removed makeup and changed clothes.

  It was like the party yesterday was a dream. It never happened.

  If Xue Lin didn’t see the flower decorations and lightning, she would have also believed that it was all a dream.

  Looking at her dress, she felt out of place. She didn’t have the time to change clothes. It made her uncomfortable.

  Inspector Han was having breakfast along with his colleague, Ge Chen and Xue Lin.

  While eating Inspector Han asked her, "How long have you been in China?"

  "Just a couple of months," Xue Lin replied.

  Inspector Han inquired, "Did you get married right after that?"

  Xue Lin answered truthfully, "I wasn’t planning to ever get married but I had to since the Ge Family wasn’t letting me live in peace."

  "……" Ge Chen glanced at her quietly before resuming having his meal.

  Inspector Han noticed it. He remarked, "I heard about that from your husband. It was an unfortunate incident but I hope you are happier than before,"

  Xue Lin finished the wonton soup and took a bowl of noodles. Then, she told him, "My single life was always better but I don’t think married life is that bad. My husband takes great care of me. He is very understanding. I needed a partner like that. I’m glad I got one."

  Inspector Han smiled. "I’m very happy for you. So, what are you doing now?"

  "I’ve completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and became a psychiatrist. Furthermore, I’ve submitted my Criminal Psychology thesis and am waiting for the result," Xue Lin responded before taking the delicious sweet-sour pork in her mouth.

  Inspector Han seemed surprised. He exclaimed, "Psychology! That’s impressive! Doesn’t that mean you are healthier than before?" He meant her mental health.

  Xue Lin nodded. She understood what he meant. "I believe so or I wouldn’t get the license to practice psychology."

  Ge Chen butted in and added, "Right now she is working as a counselor in a high school in B city."

  Inspector Han looked at Xue Lin and questioned her, "Why is it a school? Why aren’t you working in the hospital? I believe you would have earned more there."

  Xue Lin shook her head. She shared her opinion, "It’s not about earning money. I’m there temporarily. After I get my license for criminal psychology, I have something else in mind."

  Inspector Han was intelligent. He caught what she meant to say, "You mean you want to join the police investigation department."

  Xue Lin said, "That’s what I’m planning,"

  Inspector Han hesitated before asking, "Are you sure about that? You are doing fine in your normal life. Why bother doing something dangerous?"

  She paused eating and looked straight at him. "I chose this subject to become a criminal psychologist. That has been my goal from the very beginning."

  "I won’t say that I agree with your wish but since it’s your life, it’s yours to decide. However, I’m glad that you are doing well. Getting out of the country was the best option for you. I wished you stayed there forever," Inspector Han meant what he said.

  Xue Lin chuckled in a low tone. "There is no way I would do that. I’m stronger than before."

  Inspector Han sighed. He changed the subject and commented, "I heard that you had a dispute with your fourth brother-in-law."

  "Is that what makes me a suspect?" Xue Lin was cooperative. She narrated, "Well, he tricked me to go to the marriage meeting where I met the Ge Family. Afterward, I lost contact with my family and I couldn’t contact my relatives either. After that, I met my husband and we got married. We recently went to meet my family and saw Wanwan and the fourth brother there. He was trying to control me but I warned him not to cross the line. Later, I saw his dead body."
