“Team Leader Gu, if the perpetrator isn’t Xiao Luo, then whom could it be? What if it was He Ruanliang’s a.s.sociates looking to silence him?” Outside the hospital, w.a.n.g Hanxuan was giving voice to his own speculations.
Gu Qianlin’s eyebrows furrowed together as she gave him an unpleasant glare, “a.s.sociates looking to silence him? My intuition tells me that the perpetrator has to be Xiao Luo.”
Xiao Luo?
w.a.n.g Hanxuan frowned, “But he doesn’t have any wounds on his body, doesn’t that clear him of any suspicion?”
Even a bulletproof vest couldn’t completely block out gunshots. After being shot, there had to be a bruise or wound somewhere on Xiao Luo’s body. This was common knowledge.
This was also precisely what Gu Qianlin couldn’t figure out. She had definitely hit him, so why wasn’t there a wound?
There was nothing to prove that Xiao Luo was the perpetrator, and on the face of the current evidence had cleared him of any suspicion. But her intuition and judgment as a police officer told her that the perpetrator had to be Xiao Luo.
The contradiction that the two presented was making her head spin.
Suddenly, she grabbed hold of w.a.n.g Hanxuan’s collar and demanded, “Do you think there’s any kind of medicine in this world that could instantly close a wound?”
“What?”
w.a.n.g Hanxuan’s mouth gaped open in shock. This question seemed a little childish, how could there be such miracle medicine in the world?
“What, your foot! Just answer the question!” Gu Qianlin barked.
w.a.n.g Hanxuan quickly said, “I’ve heard that there’s a prescription of Yunnan Baiyao that could quickly stop bleeding to a wound, but the prescription’s formula has been lost for a while now. The Yunnan Baiyao one can find in the market wouldn’t have that effect.”
Gu Qianlin’s eyes lit up, “Then could it be that Xiao Luo just happened to have that prescription?”
“Gulp…” w.a.n.g Hanxuan swallowed hard, wondering if maybe his boss had been possessed by the devil. It seemed that she would not stop until the crime could be connected to Xiao Luo. He shook his head and said, “That’s impossible. And even with the prescription, there’s no way the wound could close in such a short time, not to mention without a single scar.”
Hearing this, Gu Qianlin let him go reluctantly. She took one last look at the hospital behind them, then walked away.

After two full days since the rescue, Sun Yu’s condition had stabilized. The doctors had successfully pulled her back from the brink of death.
Sun Yu’s parents had also rushed from their hometown on the day of the accident. Upon seeing her daughter lying with an oxygen mask on the hospital bed, her face pale as a sheet, Mrs. Sun fainted right then and there. When Sun Jiannan arrived, his eyes also turned red, and he could not stop wiping tears from his face.
After a week, Sun Yu’s condition had stabilized entirely…
However, the doctors had some bad news. Speaking in a concerned tone, he said, “The patient is already out of danger, and her body’s condition has also stabilized. However, her intention to die is too strong. She doesn’t want to wake up. We’ve done everything that we could do, but if the patient insists on dying, there’s nothing we can do to help with that.”
“Why is it like this, what exactly did Yuyu experience?” In anguish, Mrs. Sun rushed into the sickroom, tears pouring out, almost on the edge of swooning.
Mr. Sun also wiped tears from his eyes and walked shakily into the room with grief.
“Yuyu can’t accept herself the way she is right now, and she also can’t face Xiao Luo. She really just wants to die,” Hu Shuirong was sobbing incessantly. As a victim herself, she understood very clearly what was going on in Sun Yu’s head.
Xiao Ruyi’s eyes reddened and pressed herself into Tang Ren’s arms, sobbing softly.
Tang Ren didn’t know what to say to comfort her, and just gently patted her back.
