Huo Juanyan t her dark eyes in the banquet hall and pursed his lips as he said, "It was Yan Ren who did it."
Nan Yu’s eyes widened. "Why would Captain Yan kill Shen Lu?"
Huo Juanyan sighed. "Yan Ren was suspended with pay last ti because of Shen Lu. He started tailing her every day after that. After Shen Lu killed Nan Luzhi and set fire to the Nan Family estate, she fled, and Yan Ren tracked her throughout."
"From City A to the base of the Dark Night Organization, he sent all his findings to the police chief. Then, while everyone was asleep, he killed Shen Lu, set the Dark Night Organization ablaze, and burned it down."
"When the other officers arrived, they took the chance to wipe out the entire organization in one fell swoop."
Nan Yu listened quietly, showing a hint of admiration in her eyes for Yan Ren.
"Captain Yan finally fulfilled his wish."
She had heard before that Shen Lu had been responsible for the deaths of Yan Ren’s wife and daughter. Now that his bitter revenge was complete, the captain could finally find peace.
Huo Juanyan wrapped his arms around Nan Yu. "Hmm, because of this case, he has not only been reinstated but also promoted."
Nan Yu was genuinely happy for Yan Ren.
"Then I must prepare a gift for him to celebrate his promotion."
Huo Juanyan caressed her hand. "Alright, I’ll have Xia Xing take care of it."
Nan Yu leaned into Huo Juanyan’s embrace. "Juanyan, you’re so wonderful."
Huo Juanyan heard her words and an indescribable emotion stirred deep in his eyes.
His Adam’s apple moved, and he said, "Then shouldn’t you reward ?"
Nan Yu looked up. "Reward?"
Just as she spoke, Huo Juanyan grasped her slender waist and kissed her lips.
"Hmm, a reward."
The reward lasted until dawn the next day.
After two consecutive sleepless nights, Nan Yu felt too exhausted to even move.
If Nan Zhou hadn’t co to pick her up to return to the Nan Family Ancestral Mansion and prepare for the wedding the next day, Nan Yu felt she might never have been able to leave the Huo Family residence.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding day arrived.

"Little Yu, since I don’t know the exact way to write your na, I wrote it like this instead. I hope you don’t mind."
"Uncle Li, I ca here for dical treatnt. There’s no need to make such a big fuss."
Nan Yu whispered softly to Li Chongbai.
Li Chongbai instantly understood and waved them ahead. "You go on upstairs first. We’ll co up in a mont."
Nan Yu placed the flowers in the car and pulled out a hat to put on, covering her face.
"Grandma, Uncle Li, let’s head upstairs."
Li Chongbai looked at Nan Yu, impressed by her low-key deanor.
"The acupuncture room is at the very end of the third floor. The Silver Needle and dicine are all prepared. In a mont, you instruct , and I’ll follow your directions step by step."
Nan Yu held Chi Ying’s hand in her right hand and said to Li Chongbai, "Uncle Li, I might have to trouble you to perform acupuncture on Grandma first. My hand isn’t very convenient right now."
Li Chongbai nodded. "No problem. I happened to want to ask you about the specifics of how you treat the old madam’s migraines."
At that mont, the third floor was bustling with patients coming and going. Nan Yu and Chi Ying followed Li Chongbai into the designated acupuncture room.
Soon after, the four renowned doctors who had co earlier also entered the room and shut the door tightly behind them.
The other patients outside watched with curiosity.
"Who are the patients that just went in? Why does Dean Li need to team up with four top doctors to treat them?"
"It doesn’t even look like they’re seriously ill. Why so many doctors? Aren’t they just wasting dical resources?"
"Look at that old lady—elegant, draped in gold and jewels. Clearly extrely rich. They’re just throwing money at this!"
"I always thought Dean Li was fair and just, soone who wouldn’t bow to the wealthy—but turns out he’s just as corrupt."
In less than half an hour, rumors began to spread.
anwhile, ng Yi, guarding the door of the intensive care ward, also caught wind of what was being said.
She shot to her feet and rushed toward the acupuncture room on the third floor.
Once at the door, she took a deep breath before shouting at the tightly closed room.
"Dean Li, I beg you to save my boyfriend. If you don’t, he’ll be paralyzed for life!"
The next mont, the door opened.
Li Chongbai walked out and spoke with dical benevolence. "Young lady, who is your boyfriend?"
ng Yi saw Li Chongbai and smiled with relief, quickly answering, "My boyfriend is Luo Ji, the patient in the intensive care ward on the fifth floor. Dean Li, as long as you can cure him, I’ll pay any amount!"
Li Chongbai quickly recalled and recognized her, noting that her face seed sowhat familiar.
"Young lady, are you also studying dicine?"
ng Yi nodded. "Yes, I’m a third-year dical student at University A, my na is ng Yi. You’ve even given lectures at our school before—I was one of the outstanding student representatives."
Li Chongbai nodded slightly. "ng Yi, since you’re a dical student, you should understand that your boyfriend’s injuries aren’t a matter of money. It takes ti to heal."
"Additionally, his identity is quite special. The specific treatnt plan still requires his family’s consent."
ng Yi imdiately responded, "I am his family! I can make the decisions. As long as you put your heart into curing him and making him recover, I will accept any treatnt plan!"
Li Chongbai clarified, "ng Yi, you’re his girlfriend, not yet married, so you can’t make decisions for him. It must be his family mbers."
"The police have already contacted his family and they should be arriving today. You can discuss things with them first."
He glanced at the ti. "I still have other patients to treat. If you have questions, you can consult his attending physician for further details."
With that, he went back inside.
ng Yi wanted to say more, but the door shut firmly in her face, and a voice rang out from inside.
"That murderer being paralyzed is exactly what he deserves."
