Seeing Crime Scenes in My Sleep

Jiang Li nodded in agreement. Then, a thought occurred to her. "Does that mean Wu Tong has some kind of illness?

Does he... need something?"

Lu Xingye had considered this at the beginning, but...

He pulled up Wu Tong’s physical examination report. "Wu Tong doesn’t have any major illnesses. He doesn’t need any transplants.

Maybe Wu Yonghui is really just acting out of guilt?"

Jiang Li shook her head in disagreement. "But Wu Ming has been having nightmares ever since the day she met Wu Yonghui.

And she also said that Wu Yonghui gives her a very uncomfortable feeling. That man with him is a fortune-teller."

Lu Xingye stared at the computer screen. This was the kind of thing he really couldn’t handle. He didn’t have the knowledge or the skills.

"It’s fine. Wu Ming said she contacted her master. We should be able to find out their motives then."

Lu Xingye nodded, then suddenly recalled what she said earlier. "You ran into Luo Jingheng?"

"Yeah. He said he came here for treatment. He has a heart condition."

Hearing the sympathy in Jiang Li’s voice, Lu Xingye said, "It shouldn’t be difficult for the Luo Family to find a heart."

Jiang Li nodded. "He said he’s the one who doesn’t want one."

Lu Xingye tilted his head, looking at Jiang Li. ’So she feels sorry for Luo Jingheng? Or does she see him as a kindred spirit, so...’

Jiang Li, noticing Lu Xingye staring at her, scratched her head. "I just think he always looks like he’s on the verge of death."

"Mm," Lu Xingye hummed, lowering his head to look at the computer again. He had found some clues about what happened back then.

In the town where Jiang Li had disappeared, Kun Sha had been hiding for over a month at that time.

Lu Xingye noted down the address. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Li leaning against the side, asleep.

He closed the laptop, stood up, and carried her to the hospital bed, watching her as she slept soundly.

’She has time to feel sorry for others, but doesn’t know how to feel sorry for herself.’

Lu Xingye looked at Jiang Li. He would be going to the training program soon, and an inexplicable feeling of reluctance welled up inside him.

’But I don’t want to be weak.’

Lu Xingye looked at Jiang Li’s hand resting by the edge of the bed and couldn’t resist reaching out his pinky to hook hers.

Then he shot up and fled in a panic.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jiang Li opened her eyes. Her finger felt scorching hot. She curled up under the covers.

’Jiang Li, what are you thinking? Lu Xingye is a good person. How can you drag him down?’

...

The next day, Wu Ming came to the hospital to talk to Jiang Li about Wu Yonghui.

"Jiang Li, I just have this weird feeling, but he looks like such a loving father."

Wu Ming looked at Jiang Li. To be honest, she had almost been swayed by him yesterday. The more she thought about it after she got back, the more terrified she became.

Jiang Li gave her a comforting hug. "It’s okay. You still have us."

"Jiang Li, I was thinking about it all night yesterday. I’m wondering if I should pretend to agree and see what he’s really up to.

Otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy. I keep feeling like something is waiting for me."

"Okay, I’ll go with you."

"Hey, hey, hey! Have you forgotten you’re a patient?!" Wu Ming quickly stopped Jiang Li from moving.

After all, she wasn’t a child, nor did she have three heads and six arms like some mythical figure.

Lu Xingye breathed a small sigh of relief. ’Good, she can be persuaded.’

"Then how about you take Xiao Nian and Xiao Ji with you?" Jiang Li asked, looking at Wu Ming.

"Not going," Yu Huannian refused without a second thought. ’If I go, who will take care of her? Miao Anji only knows how to stir-fry a plate of bugs. Is that even edible?’

’As for this Lu Xingye, I don’t trust him either.’

Jiang Li was momentarily speechless. "I’ll be fine. There are so many people in the hospital."

"Can they cook as well as I can?" Yu Huannian stood to the side with his arms crossed.

"Oh, Jiang Li, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m not going alone. I have my master with me, and he’s really powerful," Wu Ming quickly interjected.

Jiang Li furrowed her brow, running through the people in her mind, then looked up at Miao Anji.

"Then I suppose I can condescend to go with you," Miao Anji said, looking at Wu Ming with his arms crossed haughtily.

"Okay. If anything happens, you have to tell me immediately, got it?"

"Mhm, got it. Don’t you worry." Wu Ming patted her chest. ’I don’t care what he is. If he’s really plotting something, I’ll send him to rot in jail.’

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. "Miss Jiang, our young master said that if your brother needs a kitchen, he can use his."

Du Kang stood at the door he had just knocked on, his old face flushing a little. ’With so many chefs in the Luo Family, I really don’t believe her friend can actually whet the young master’s appetite.’

Only then did Jiang Li remember yesterday’s events. She looked at Yu Huannian. "It’s that Mr. Luo we met in H City. I told him yesterday that you’re a great cook, and he wanted to try it. If you don’t want to, it’s fine to refuse."

Yu Huannian glanced at Du Kang in the doorway and recalled what the H City police had said: the Luo Family were the first private entrepreneurs in H City, and in the early years, it was the Luo Family who had led the way to wealth.

In the hearts of the locals, the Luo Family was no less than a local emperor.

Yu Huannian’s eyes flickered. He glanced at Jiang Li and nodded. "I can do that."

’It’s just about building connections, right? I can do that too.’

"Then I’ll have someone go buy the ingredients." After saying this, Du Kang turned and left. ’At least the task the young master gave me is complete.’

Jiang Li looked at Yu Huannian in surprise, not expecting him to agree so quickly at all.

Yu Huannian sat down beside her, calculating in his head. ’We have the Yu Family in City A, and Ji Qinghe’s group in C City. Now there’s the Luo Family in H City... These connections still aren’t enough.’

Lu Xingye watched the pensive Yu Huannian, and a thought suddenly came to him, making him shake his head with a smile.

"Well, Xiao Nian will stay here with you. I have to go out for a bit. I’ll be back later." Lu Xingye stood up and said to Jiang Li. He still needed to investigate Kun Sha.

"You’re not staying for dinner?" Jiang Li asked, looking at Lu Xingye.

"I’ll just grab a bite downstairs."

After Lu Xingye left, Jiang Li took Yu Huannian and the others to visit their neighbor.

"Mr. Luo." Luo Jingheng heard the voice and looked up. Several people were standing at the door.

"Come in and sit. Please, make yourselves at home."

Wu Ming walked in, her mouth agape. ’This is too much! I can’t believe there’s such a luxurious hospital room.’

"Jiang Li, Xiao Ji and I are going to H City tomorrow," Wu Ming said, looking at the plane tickets on her phone.

’If this matter isn’t dealt with, it’ll weigh on my mind like a heavy stone.’

Jiang Li glanced over and nodded.

Luo Jingheng looked up at Wu Ming and took a sip of ginseng soup. "Miss Wu, do you have business in H City?"

Wu Ming gave a dry laugh. "Oh, it’s nothing major. Just a father who suddenly popped out of nowhere. I’m going to see what that’s all about."

Luo Jingheng sized Wu Ming up for a moment. "Miss Wu, if I may be so bold as to ask, who extended your life for you twenty-four years ago?"

"Huh? Extended my life? Me?" Wu Ming pointed at herself in surprise. ’How come I never knew about this?’

"I don’t remember. I only remember living with my master, Cao Kun, the whole time."

Jiang Li looked at Luo Jingheng. ’How does he know all this?’

"Hey, Mr. Luo, are you in the same line of work?"

Wu Ming stared at Luo Jingheng in shock. ’It’s one thing for him to be from such a rich and powerful family, but how is he in the same business too?’

Luo Jingheng smiled and said, "I had poor health as a child, so I was raised in a Taoist temple. I picked up a few things through osmosis."
