Tang Yan slept in the hospital’s emergency room. By the time he woke up, his body temperature had returned to normal and his fever had subsided.

  The doctor checked on him again and smiled. “I really don’t have to say anything about his physical fitness. You have nothing to worry about, Miss Feng.”


  Feng Shanshan looked at Tang Yan. She wanted to let him sleep a bit longer, but Tang Yan got up and said, “Let’s go.”


  “Are you sure?”


  “I didn’t need to see a doctor. I came just to put the team at ease.”


  After all, he didn’t touch the blood of the deceased when he conducted the autopsy yesterday. Even if he had touched the blood, he didn’t have any wound on his body. So, it was impossible for him to get infected.

  This man was as stoic as ever. He could die in order to get cases solved.

  The two came out of the hospital. When they walked to the door, Tang Yan received a call from the police station, saying that they had identified the suspect. He was a student living in the same dorm as Tang Yixiao and had been diagnosed with AIDS just a month ago.

  “The case is almost solved.” Tang Yan put away his phone and told Feng Shanshan the news.

  They got into his off-road vehicle, and this time, Tang Yan was the one who drove.

  “If my parents were still around and I were not alone, would you still be this busy?”


  Tang Yan tilted his head and looked at Feng Shanshan. “What kind of answer are you hoping from me?”


  “Think of it yourself.”


  “I can have a reunion dinner with them.”


  “What if there’s a case?”


  “I’ll bring you along. Aren’t you going to examine the body?”


  Feng Shanshan sighed. She knew this man wouldn’t have said something nice. And of course, she didn’t need to listen to his sweet words.

  “Well, at least you don’t leave me alone.”


  Tang Yan glanced at Feng Shanshan once more without speaking. They returned to the police station as quickly as they could. By the time they got there, the seniors had already brought the suspect into the interrogation room.

  He was called Yuan Bo and was a handsome lad. At school, he would definitely attract the girls’ attention.

  Feng Shanshan called Mu Qiqi right after Tang Yan went into the interrogation room. “We’ve arrested the suspect. Do you want to come over?”


  Mu Qiqi was eager to confirm her speculation. So, she rushed to the police station.

  “Yuan Bo, twenty-two, Tang Yixiao’s roommate, from a different faculty. They had small conflicts in their daily lives, but they did not put it to heart.”


  The senior explained to them. “We’ve met him once, but he looked very calm then. Moreover, he said that his roommates could testify to his alibi, so we did not suspect him.”


  In the interrogation room, Tang Yan was holding Yuan Bo’s medical records, but he didn’t go straight to the topic. Instead, he asked, “Can you tell me how you got this illness?”


  “How else could I have gotten it? There’s an improper man in the dormitory. How can you prevent that?” Yuan Bo was fighting hard to suppress his emotions. Although he deliberately lowered his volume, Tang Yan could still hear the tremble in his voice.

  “So, you got infected in the dormitory?”


  “Those people with AIDS should just die on their own. Why must they drag innocent people along with them? We’re all raised by our parents. What did we do wrong?” Yuan Bo’s eyes turned red.

  “Do you know what that bastard said when I found out I got infected?

  “He said I deserved bad luck!”


  “That’s why you couldn’t help but kill him?” Tang Yan followed along and asked.

  “What else could I have done? Can the law punish him? Who can give me justice? I know that once I’m infected, I’ll have to take medication my whole life. No one will be willing to marry me, and no company will hire me. I can die, but I must drag him along. Did you know that when my parents knew about my illness, they thought that I was messing around outside, and they fell ill? My grandfather died quietly without even letting me see him for the last time! What did I do wrong that I am treated like this? Should he die? Shouldn’t he?”


  Yuan Bo bombarded them with rhetorical questions again and again in the interrogation room. Everyone, including Tang Yan, was silent.

  “You can handle the rest.” After that, Tang Yan stood up and left the interrogation room.

  Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan had lost their excitement altogether. They could only sigh helplessly.

  “Now that no one is here, let me tell you honestly. If I were him, I wouldn’t be any better than Yuan Bo,” Mu Qiqi said. “Laws should be abided by. But if anyone touches my family, I might be even more ruthless than him.”


  “Don’t hope for it. The big guy in your family won’t give you the chance to make this kind of choice. I might be the one to do it.” Feng Shanshan smiled. She might get abducted if she stayed by that dangerous man’s side. If it happened, Tang Yan might not even bother about her in order to solve cases.

  Just thinking about this was enough to make her heart cold.

  “The case is solved. I hope we can relax for a few days.”


  “I’m going home.” Mu Qiqi patted Feng Shanshan’s shoulder……

  On the other hand, in the hospital.

  Not long after Mr. Lu woke up, he received the pink slip from the school.

  Lying on the bed, Mr. Lu looked at it and sighed repeatedly. “I really don’t understand how I offended the rich people. I could have applied for the position of a professor after this semester. What a shame, now I can’t even be a teacher.”


  “I’ve contacted another school for you and recommend you to teach there. You can just start over. It’s better than wasting your time here,” Mr. Lu’s friend said. “You haven’t asked about Mu Tangxue since you woke up. What is on your mind really?”


  “Maybe I owe her in my previous life. Now, I have paid for it,” Mr. Lu said. “I hope I won’t see her again.”


  “I thought you liked her.”


  “Even if I were a bad person, I wouldn’t fall for a student. Moreover, she isn’t a good student. I will just consider myself unlucky for all that happened. I don’t blame her. She’s still young. She doesn’t know how to protect the people around her.”


  Having said that, Mr. Lu closed his eyes, wanting to rest. But suddenly, a man in a suit entered the ward.

  “Hello, Mr. Lu. I’m Mr. Ye Jingcheng’s attorney.”


  As soon as Mr. Lu heard him, he said, “Just go back, I won’t sue him.”


  “No, no, no…… Mr. Lu, you have misunderstood. I came for something else.”


  Then, the attorney handed a document to Mr. Lu. “You will know once you read it. Mr. Ye has arranged another better place for you.”


  Mr. Lu opened the document in confusion. After reading it, he paled and looked at the attorney. “I’m already leaving. Isn’t it enough?”


  “No. He hopes you will disappear completely from Jianchuan.”
