Chapter 72: You Came Here to Mock Me?

After obtaining the location, they also shared the coordinates with the Police Station.

Gu Qingmeng and her accomplices, having fled for less than half a day, were arrested.

Fortunately it was only a false alarm, and Yao Yao sustained just a minor scratch.

The saying "A tiger's poison does not eat its cub" does not apply to Gu Qingmeng at all.

"You scared me to death, thank goodness she's okay," Lu Xiwán, excited, grabbed Fu Sijue's hand and, without waiting for his reaction, embraced Yao Yao.

Fu Sijue felt the lingering warmth on his palm, his cheeks quickly flushed, reddening up to the base of his ears.

Lu Xiwán, on the verge of tears from excitement, held Yao Yao and examined them inside and out several times.

"Mr. Fu, Miss Xi, thank you both for your support of our work."

The police, smiling broadly, sounded much more relaxed, saying that catching Gu Qingmeng and the others would allow them to solve the case sooner.

"Approximately when can it be concluded?" Lu Xiwán asked, standing up.

The police shook their heads helplessly, "We still don't know when; we haven't secured solid evidence yet, so it may take some more time."

Fu Sijue suddenly interjected, "The news said there was a victim still alive at the scene."

The police nodded, looking at Fu Sijue with difficulty, "The person was rescued, but after waking up they remember nothing."

To avoid further aggravating the injured, the investigators directly gave up using this as a breakthrough.

"Perhaps I can give it a try," Lu Xiwán said with a confident smile, turning her head to look at the equally puzzled Fu Sijue.

"Mr. Fu, you forgot, my original profession is Hypnotist."

Lu Xiwán has no experience in solving cases, but hypnosis is her strong suit.

"Could you take me to the hospital? I have a Medical Qualification Certificate," Lu Xiwán politely asked the police.

The household nanny happened to arrive at the Police Station, and Lu Xiwán handed Yao Yao over to her directly.

After consulting the superiors, the police took them straight to the hospital.

"The victim is named Heihu, and from now on we entrust it to Miss Xi,"

With their hopeful gazes upon her, Lu Xiwán walked into the ward.

The patient in the ward still could not be taken off the ventilator, his body riddled with tubes, a terrifying sight.

Lu Xiwán pulled the chair beside the bed, checked Heihu's condition, and only after confirming he was conscious did she begin to speak.

"Hello, I am Xi Wan, the Psychologist the police brought to help you; you need not be afraid, we will ensure your safety."

Lu Xiwán took out a small pocket watch, placed it before Heihu, and as soothing music played, Heihu fell into a deep sleep.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiwán left the ward and handed the recorder in her hand to the police.

"How did you do it?" Fu Sijue, walking beside Lu Xiwán, expressed sincere admiration for her.

Lu Xiwán produced the pocket watch, "It's simple; he's been injured like this, what he needs most is someone to bring the murderer to justice."

A person whose fragile psyche urgently needs an outlet is also the best subject for hypnosis.

Lu Xiwán looked at Fu Sijue and smiled faintly.

"Mr. Fu, rest assured, I will not hypnotize anyone without permission."

That is also her professional ethic.

Fu Sijue's lips curled into a faint smile, "I believe you."

With ample evidence in hand, the Police Station quickly issued an official notice, formally clearing Shen Shu of the false accusation.

Fu Sijue avoided the Gu Family couple, turning a blind eye as they raged and caused a scene.

Two days later, Gu Qingmeng was arrested on a charge of intentional homicide.

Lu Xiwán personally went to the detention center to visit the incarcerated Gu Qingmeng.

"You are the one who harmed me!" Gu Qingmeng said through clenched teeth.

Her gaze seemed to want to devour Lu Xiwán whole.

Unfortunately this time a prison separated them; Gu Qingmeng was trapped in a confined space, unable to move a single step.

"Don't look at me with that stare; these things were done by your own hands, you are merely paying the corresponding price."

Lu Xiwán ignored Gu Qingmeng's near‑murderous gaze and instead smiled brightly at her.

While immersed in a beautiful dream, she certainly would not have imagined such a day would come.

"You came just to mock me?" Gu Qingmeng sneered, fingers clenched into a fist, eyes like a starving wolf fixed on Lu Xiwán.
