Lu Chengzhou approached her and asked, “You’re done investigating?”
Gu Mang looked at him through the corner of her eyes and hummed a “mm” in response.
Department Chief Yan returned to his senses and smiled. “Thanks a lot for your help, Ms. Gu. The higher-ups are pressing us on this case and it’s good to finally see a development.”
Who would think that someone would use acupuncture to kill in this day and age?
Gu Mang nodded. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. There is still homework to do.”
The corners of Department Chief Yan’s lips twitched when she said ‘homework.” Right, this big boss was still a high schooler.
Lu Shangjin tugged at his suit. “Then I’ll head back first too.”
Department Chief snapped back to reality and said hurriedly, “Sure, let me see you and Ms. Gu out.”
They left the police station.
Watching Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang’s car driving away, Department Chief Yan placed his hands behind his back as he sighed, “If only a person like her could stay on the force forever.”
“That’s right, Department Chief.” Lü Xin envied the colleagues who used to work with Gu Mang in the forensic unit. They must have learned a lot from her.
Whenever the officers from the forensic unit mentioned Gu Mang, they said that she was born to be a pathologist. Department Chief Yan found his idea to be impractical. Why would a big boss like her stay in a small place like theirs? A boss of her stature would perhaps consider it if they worked at the National Security Agency’s Center of Forensic Science.
She helped out today because she kept in mind the old friendships that she had made while working there in the past.
…
At Seal Palace.
Gu Mang sat on the carpet beside the coffee table.
She really loved this spot. Instead of sitting on the sofa, she preferred sitting on the carpet with her bare feet. She would curl one of her legs and stretch the other one lazily on the carpet. Her arm rested on her knee as she played games with one hand.
Her other hand was in Lu Chengzhou’s as he changed the dressing for her wound. He sat on the sofa as he carefully removed the bandage. Looking at the pinkish wound, he was stunned. Her wound was recovering quite quickly.
He asked in a low voice, “Is it itchy?”
A gunshot sound came from Gu Mang’s phone. She was the first to get a headshot in the game.
She then replied indifferently, “A little.”
Her body’s healing ability was exceptionally strong. Others would have to wait one week for a wound to heal but she only needed three days. She and Gu Si had been like this since they were young.
Lu Chengzhou was using tweezers to hold an antiseptic cotton ball as he applied it on the surroundings of the wound. It was icy and could stop itching.
“We’ll change the medicine again.” Lu Chengzhou gently applied the medication on her wound and was very gentle. He later on wrapped the antiseptic bandage to secure it.
Gu Mang did not raise her head when she acknowledged him. Her voice was low. “I’ll stay at the dormitory tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chengzhou could not help but exert slightly more strength. The newly healed wound became itchier when it was touched. Gu Mang frowned and looked at him. Her dark, brilliant eyes were clear and had a hint of unhappiness.
“Kicking me aside when you’re done?” Lu Chengzhou stared right into her eyes.
Gu Mang narrowed her eyes and stopped playing the game.
She threw her phone on the coffee table casually as she supported her chin with her hand. Raising her eyebrows, she looked at him nonchalantly. “What do you want?”
She had already given him goods worth tens of billions but he could not buy her some medication?
Lu Chengzhou shifted his gaze to her fair neck. The light green veins on her neck were visible. Her collarbone was exquisite and beautiful. The collar of her hoodie was slightly opened because of her actions.
Lu Chengzhou moved his gaze away as he let go of her without expression. His voice sounded slightly upset. “Not really.”
She was only 17-years-old so what could he do.
Gu Mang looked at his face and laughed while her eyes seemed a little sinister.
Raising her head slightly, her finger hooked the man’s beautifully sculpted chin. Teasingly, she said, “I’m tired. I’ll be going to sleep.”
