CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: LIN RUI: SIS WILL GIVE YOU A BIG REWARD!

At this moment, Li Feng’s face was ashen, his pupils filled with despair.

Actually, Li Feng was also swayed by emotions and made a wrong decision.

Although Zhang Feng still didn’t know what had happened between Li Feng and Lin Rui before.

But Li Feng just saw himself and Lin Rui being intimate, and had such a reflex response.

The bet he made with Zhang Feng was also problematic.

Clearly, as a forensic doctor, you can bet on autopsy matters.

But he insisted on betting with Zhang Feng on solving the case.

Isn’t this purely your fault?

There’s no choice, he himself was the one who said it!

So many people around watching.

Especially Lin Rui!

He couldn’t let Lin Rui look down on him any further!

So, Li Feng stepped forward, his face gloomy, and gave Zhang Feng a ninety-degree bow from afar, gritting his teeth slightly, as if using great strength to open his mouth and say:

"Forensic Doctor Zhang, I’m sorry, I apologize for my previous comments that failed to recognize greatness!"

He then stood up and loudly proclaimed:

"From today, I officially resign! Completely quit the forensic team, because I am unworthy!"

After saying this, Li Feng directly turned around and strode out!

He truly wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

He couldn’t bear to stay in the same room with Zhang Feng and Lin Rui any longer!

No one stopped him, including Zhang Feng!

Zhang Feng actually knew that the bet he made with Li Feng was problematic.

It didn’t mean Li Feng’s autopsy skills were lacking.

There was no need to leave the forensic team over such matters.

After all, Li Feng had also helped his division solve many cases through his autopsies.

His contributions cannot be erased.

But Zhang Feng knew.

The person to stop Li Feng from resigning definitely couldn’t be him.

Considering Li Feng’s current state, speaking might even add fuel to the fire!

Li Feng left.

The morgue remained silent.

But Officer Ma knew that his purpose for calling Zhang Feng here was achieved.

He addressed the remaining forensic doctors:

"Everyone, the following matters will require your effort."

"Please continue your work; we need to interrogate the suspects and won’t stay longer."

Zhang Feng left the morgue with Officer Hu and Officer Ma.

But he noticed.

Since Li Feng apologized to him, Lin Rui’s face had always carried a smile.

As if she’d encountered something joyous.

This prompted Zhang Feng to directly ask:

"Director Lin, can you now tell me what exactly happened between you and Li Feng?"

"Seeing him disgraced, why are you so happy?"

Lin Rui’s mood, indeed quite good at the moment, directly answered Zhang Feng’s question:

"He pursued me!"

"Just that?" Zhang Feng looked at Lin Rui with a strange expression.

Zhang Feng actually could tell!

But Lin Rui added:

"Do you know how he pursued me?"

Zhang Feng shook his head.

Lin Rui snorted lightly and said:

"He was my high school classmate, showing off every day at school, relying on being the top scorer in the entrance exams!"

"He came to me directly and said, ’Be my girlfriend, because I, Li Feng, have the best grades! You being my girlfriend means you’re climbing high! I, Li Feng, notice your beauty to say this, or I wouldn’t even look at you!’

"Wow!" Listening to Lin Rui’s explanation, Zhang Feng realized:

"He had such a bad arrogance back then?"

"Of course!" Lin Rui continued:

"He seemed to treat me as an accessory; who wouldn’t have a grievance?"

"So I just told him, ’Take the same major as me for college entrance exams, only if you get the first rank, I’ll be your girlfriend!’

"What happened later... he got second, hehehe..."

While speaking, Lin Rui laughed out loud.

Zhang Feng looked at Lin Rui and shook his head helplessly, instinctively asking:

"Then who got first?"

"Of course it was me!" Lin Rui proudly patted her own impressive chest and said:

"Not for anything else, just to see that arrogant Li Feng disgraced, I had to work hard!"

The corner of Zhang Feng’s eye twitched slightly, slowly giving Lin Rui a thumbs up, and said:

"You’re amazing!"

And Lin Rui was smiling brilliantly at Zhang Feng:

"Unexpectedly, after all this time, there’s another chance to disgust Li Feng, all thanks to you!"

"To express my gratitude to you... when we get home, I’ll give you a nice reward!"

"Reward?" Hearing this, Zhang Feng’s expression paused slightly.

Then, curiously looking at Lin Rui, he asked:

"What do you plan to reward me with?"

Upon hearing Zhang Feng’s question, Lin Rui’s cheeks reddened slightly.

Having no intention to tell Zhang Feng, she replied to him:

"You’ll find out when the time comes!"

With that, she quickened her pace, as if worried Zhang Feng might discern something.

Zhang Feng slightly pursed his lips, feeling confused.

But the most critical now wasn’t Lin Rui, it was Cheng Bing!

So Zhang Feng turned to Officer Ma and asked:

"Can I go meet Cheng Bing now?"

"Certainly!" Officer Ma had no reason to stop him.

Moreover, he fully complied with Zhang Feng’s request, allowing a private meeting with Cheng Bing!

In the interrogation room, Cheng Bing, handcuffed, sat there, his face scruffy, hair by his temples entirely white overnight.

At this moment, his bloodshot eyes looked at Zhang Feng sitting opposite, filled with doubt, and a hoarse voice came through:

"I told you, before my lawyer arrives, I won’t say anything. Don’t think sending someone I don’t know will make me talk."

"Where’s Officer Ma? Tell him to come here!"

Zhang Feng knew Cheng Bing was stalling.

He was still hoping to leverage the relationships he’d developed in D City over the years.

But this wasn’t what concerned Zhang Feng; he was only fixated on one thing:

"Who taught you the Seven Stars Gathering Wealth?"

Upon Zhang Feng’s question, Cheng Bing’s blood-filled pupils instantly expanded!

His face slightly pale, almost growling:

"Who are you?! Who told you?!"

"Beyond the master, only I know about this! No one else could possibly know, who exactly are you?!"

Indeed, Cheng Bing wasn’t wrong.

Those seven heads forming the Seven Stars Gathering Wealth, among all in the blooming world, which Cheng Bing belonged to, only he knew.

Even that previous skinny monkey didn’t know.

This was all instructed by that master, probably to keep his identity confidential.

And Zhang Feng certainly wouldn’t answer Cheng Bing’s question.

His eyes flickered, pushing further:

"Tell me, who is this master you mentioned? What’s his name, and how can I find him?"

But Cheng Bing’s emotions intensified, directly slamming his hand onto the small desk with a heavy "Bang!" and shouted:

"Answer my question: who told you?!"

"Bang!" The palm of Zhang Feng landing made a louder sound than Cheng Bing’s, his voice also sharper:

"It’s you who needs to answer now!!"

Cheng Bing’s pupils quivered slightly, but soon his face formed a sneer, turning his head away, saying:

"I won’t say anything until my lawyer arrives!"

Geez, this Cheng Bing is as stubborn as they get!

But Zhang Feng remained unfazed, his face showing a relaxed expression.

He slowly stood up, walked over to Cheng Bing’s side, leaning down to whisper in Cheng Bing’s ear.

Just this sentence made Cheng Bing’s pupils suddenly enlarge, the blood vessels in the whites of his eyes trembling even more intensively!
