Chapter 1364: Chapter 1383: Hopes Dashed

"Stop the car!" Yu Fengji’s gaze inadvertently swept outside the car window and immediately shouted loudly.

The driver slammed on the brakes, and the car quickly came to a stop.

Yu Fengji was the first to jump out, and Ying Jiuming was about to follow when he was stopped, "Group Leader Ying, you better not get out. You’re friends with Jiang Zhuanzhuan, and to avoid any suspicion, you shouldn’t be involved in the upcoming case. Our team will take full responsibility from here."

Ying Jiuming: "..."

This is a vendetta; it’s questioning his professional dedication and competency.

The team member who came with Group Nine was almost crying; they rarely handled a major case, and just when they were about to solve it, the moment of truth was taken away.

Yu Fengji, with strides, reached in front of Zhuanzhuan, looked down at her with a cold demeanor, and said, "Jiang Zhuanzhuan?"

"It’s me!"

The people following Yu Fengji all showed a look of surprise, but Yu Fengji, with a poker face throughout, directly said, "Then come with us."

"Sure!" Zhuanzhuan said cheerfully, "I was worried about whether I could make it down the mountain by dawn. Thankfully you came, otherwise, I might have frozen to death. Really, thank you all."

Yu Fengji said emotionlessly, "No need to thank us."

Although the others didn’t speak, their looks at Zhuanzhuan were clearly suspicious. Yet, this young girl’s demeanor was quite unusual. Could it really be that she has psychological issues?

The next day, Nan Fei was woken up by the sound of knocking as soon as day broke. She hadn’t returned to school last night because she was clear in her heart that she wouldn’t be able to focus on her classes as she was concerned about Zhuanzhuan’s situation.

The school was also itching to punish her but couldn’t do anything about it; when they heard she wanted to leave, they immediately agreed.

Nan Fei changed into formal clothes and went downstairs to open the door, just as the door opened Fu Xinwu, with eyes swollen like walnuts, barged in directly and threw himself into Nan Fei’s arms, nearly causing her to lose balance. Luckily, she reacted quickly and steadied herself and Fu Xinwu.

"It’s okay! It will all pass." Nan Fei softly patted Fu Xinwu’s back, gently consoling.

"Auntie, how did you know? Even you know, but I had no clue. I’m so stupid, I’m just too stupid, unforgivable." Fu Xinwu said with a hoarse voice, his speech intermittent, and before long, he couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Nan Fei helped him sit down on the living room sofa and went to pour him a glass of boiled water.

"Alright! Stop crying, I think Wei Qin would not want you to cry if he were alive."

"That’s not true, he never liked me, never spared me an extra glance. He wouldn’t care if I cry, I could cry to death and he wouldn’t know." Fu Xinwu huddled pitifully on the sofa, though claiming so, he cried relentlessly.

Nan Fei thought of Wei Qin’s gaze lingering on Xinwu at the school gates and felt a bit stifled in her heart. However, she didn’t say a word; since Wei Qin wished for Xinwu not to know even in his dying moments, she would let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

This could be considered the most precious gift Wei Qin gave to Xinwu in his life.

The most beautiful blessings, she shouldn’t destroy them.

"If that’s the case, then why do you still care?" Nan Fei deliberately put on a disgusted expression and scolded, "Even if you cry to death, he wouldn’t know, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t feel sorry."

"I just want to cry, I’m just sad, I can’t help it!"

For Fu Xinwu, Wei Qin’s death was more devastating than the sky collapsing; her mind was a complete mess. Although she had thought about it countless times, when the reality finally struck, she completely broke down. She studied medicine and chose to be a surgeon just so one day she could be of help to Wei Qin.
