NOVPUBSince experiencing the joy of "Dual Cultivation" a few days ago,
Chen Nan had been looking for opportunities to relive its wonder.
Unfortunately,
there hadn’t been a suitable candidate.
But now,
hadn’t the opportunity arrived?
Both Xu Lu and Wang Li were completely obedient to him and could join him in a room for some fun once he had recovered.
Without thinking, he knew it would be amazing!
At that moment,
someone knocked on the door, and a nurse’s voice came from outside, asking him to open the door so she could come in to change the dressing.
Wang Li quickly left Chen Nan’s embrace, tidied her clothes swiftly, put on her lab coat, and then she opened the door to let the nurse in.
Then, she found an excuse to leave the ward.
While the nurse changed Chen Nan’s dressing, Jiang Li also returned to the ward, her cheeks flushed and a slight smile in her eyes as if something joyful had happened.
After the nurse had finished changing the medicine, she asked with a smile, "Aren’t you able to read faces? If so, do you know why I’m happy?"
"Such things can be seen without reading faces," Chen Nan smiled and said, "If I’m not mistaken, Officer Jiang must be due for a promotion."
Jiang Li peeled a banana and brought it to Chen Nan’s mouth, smiling as she said, "Promotions are uncertain, but last night I indirectly contributed to solving a case."
Chen Nan asked as he ate, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Li said, "The drunk driver last night wasn’t just anybody. He’s a murderer wanted across the province and goes by the name Liu Kai. He dropped out of school in his youth to work; despite struggling in society for over a decade without achievements, he later committed robbery and was sentenced to twelve years in prison for aggravated assault."
"After his release, not only did Liu Kai not reform, but he even broke into a farm, raped, and murdered a woman over sixty, which led to his being hunted down due to the brutal nature of his crimes."
"However, this man was very skilled in counter-surveillance techniques. Even after being wanted for several months, they couldn’t find him."
"It was only last night that the comrades at the station recognized him and confirmed he was the wanted Liu Kai."
Chen Nan realized and couldn’t believe that Jiang Li had accidentally caught a wanted criminal.
Liu Kai might not have been caught by her personally,
but his capture was directly related to Jiang Li.
Thinking this, Chen Nan suddenly said, "Officer Jiang, don’t you feel that this is too coincidental?"
Jiang Li asked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Chen Nan shook his head slightly, "I can’t quite tell, but I feel that something so simple as a car accident unveiling a wanted criminal is too coincidental, almost as if…"
Jiang Li’s pupils trembled violently. At that moment, she understood the implications of Chen Nan’s words, which made her tone suddenly hurried, "Are you suggesting that someone wants to kill me?"
"Probably not…" Chen Nan cleared his throat awkwardly, "You’re just a patrol officer and haven’t offended any high-profile figures, why would someone want to kill you?"
Jiang Li’s face turned pale, "You make sense, but I have been secretly investigating a major case recently. If I uncover the person responsible, it could cause a major shakeup in Jizhou’s officialdom…"
With that, she quickly shut her mouth, not revealing too much information to Chen Nan.
After all.
They also have discipline and principles.
"Chen Nan, you rest well, I need to go back to the station." Jiang Li had previously taken three days off, planning to look after Chen Nan in the hospital.
But now, all her thoughts were on Liu Kai. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
If Chen Nan’s analysis was true, she could follow this clue to find out who wanted to kill her and then locate that person.
After Jiang Li left, Chen Nan closed his eyes to nourish his spirit and began cultivating.
Due to the previous Dual Cultivation with Wang Li, his True Qi had replenished slightly, and utilizing it to circulate within his body helped relieve his injuries.
When he felt an itching sensation in both elbows, Chen Nan knew his injuries were healing rapidly, so he decisively unwrapped the bandages around his elbows.
Indeed, his wounds had scabbed over; to call this recovery miraculous would not be an exaggeration.
After confirming there were no major issues with his body, Chen Nan called Jiang Li, intending to tell her about his discharge, but no one answered the phone.
So he sent her a message and then left the hospital.
At this time.
It had already gotten dark.
Just as Chen Nan was walking to the hospital entrance, he noticed a large crowd gathered ahead.
He was not one to enjoy spectacles and did not stop, heading towards a nearby taxi instead.
But at that moment.
He heard Wang Li’s angry voice, "Li Xiang, I don’t love you anymore, I don’t want to marry you, do you understand? We’re all adults here, can’t you stop being so childish? Do you think I’ll marry you just because you kneel here? If so, you are greatly mistaken."
"This will not only fail to change my mind, it will even make me lose respect for you!"
Huh?
Upon hearing Wang Li’s voice, Chen Nan involuntarily stopped in his tracks and then turned to squeeze into the crowd.
He saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, holding flowers and kneeling on one knee. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, giving him a scholarly appearance.
However, his actions were met with disdain from many people.
The woman had already rejected him, yet he stubbornly kneeled on the ground, and at the hospital entrance, no less—it was clearly a case of moral coercion.
This would cause Wang Li to be subjected to discussions throughout the hospital, even to the point of being unable to raise her head.
"Lili, I truly love you, please give me another chance," the young man named Li Xiang pleaded with a sorrowful expression on his face, "You can be assured, I will definitely make up for these past shortcomings to you."
"I don’t love you anymore, don’t you understand?" Wang Li said angrily, unable to believe that Li Xiang would confess at the hospital entrance, which sparked a strong surge of anger in her heart.
If she had felt guilty toward her boyfriend before.
At this moment, all her feelings of guilt had vanished.
Li Xiang’s face twisted into a sinister smile, "So, it’s true you ascended to the position of Deputy Director of Public Relations at the People’s Hospital by sleeping with someone else?"
"You... you’re being ridiculous!" Wang Li was furious, her face turning green, completely unprepared for Li Xiang to make such an accusation.
Angry as she was, she also felt incredibly anxious and uneasy inside.
Because only she knew that it was indeed by sleeping with Chen Nan that she had obtained the position of Deputy Director of Public Relations at the hospital.
Just as Wang Li was at a loss, a familiar voice rang out, bringing her a glimmer of hope, "To slander someone publicly just because you can’t win her love, have you no shame?"
