Tao Qing and Yuan Bin's progress in Beichuan City was slow, as many things happened many years ago, making investigation difficult. However, they did make progress.

For example, with the Cui family, they found out that Gu Meizhi had a cousin named Sui Yuan who had stayed at her cousin's house for a period of time, but then disappeared. As for what happened, they haven't found out yet.

Furthermore, Cui Li's twin brother, Cui Peng, was having an affair with two female college students, who were actually twin sisters. They lived together, and the three of them were often seen together...

The Zhu family discovered that Zhu Dekun's mistress was named Ling Li, and his illegitimate son was named Zhu Yiming, who had just started elementary school.

Zhu Dechang appears respectable on the surface, but he is actually a hypocrite. Despite having children, he is a pervert at heart who likes young, handsome men. He often takes people to a villa in the suburbs, but unfortunately, they haven't found a way to get close to it because the villa is heavily monitored.

Looking at these messages, Le Yao felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through her mind. They were all a bunch of rotten rubbish, and it was a waste of food for them to stay in this world.

So they notified Tao Qing and Yuan Bin: "Once you find the evidence, you must pack a copy and hand it over to the relevant departments. Everyone has a responsibility to report crimes, and we must be good people."

Tao Qing and Yuan Bin: ...

Although the two were a little confused, they obediently did as instructed.

As December arrived, the weather grew even colder, and the first snow of the winter fell.

Nangong Jue's wound is healing very well. He can sit up now and doesn't have to lie down all the time. Besides seafood and some other foods that he can't eat, he can eat everything else without any problems.

However, his entire back became very unsightly. In several places, the flesh was burned away due to severe burns. Even with skin grafts, there will still be a dent.

In short, it's extremely ugly.

Although she has always had caregivers, Le Yao cooks and delivers meals whenever she has time, and also takes care of the patients herself.

However, Nangong Jue resisted her care: "Go back and rest, I'll be fine here."

"Why do you keep trying to get rid of me?" Le Yao frowned. "Afraid I'll bother you? Don't worry, as long as you can get out of bed, I won't come anymore."

"No." Nangong Jue hurriedly shook his head, "I'm... I'm afraid you'll dislike me."

"Why would I look down on you?" Le Yao frowned.

"My back looks terrible."

"It's not like your face is ugly." Le Yao rolled her eyes at the other person. "Besides, it's covered by clothes. Who's going to look at your back for no reason?"

"So, you don't mind me?"

"I don't mind." Le Yao shook her head, but after saying that, she felt something was off, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it. So she took out the soup first, "This time it's pig's trotter and red date soup, have some first..."

"Wife," Nangong Jue grasped Le Yao's hand tightly, "If you don't dislike me, does that mean you're willing to accept my pursuit?"

Le Yao finally realized what was wrong: "That's not what I meant. Let go quickly, the soup is spilling."

"I won't let go unless you promise me." Nangong Jue looked at her pitifully, as if he would cry if she didn't agree.

Le Yao rubbed her forehead, too lazy to look at him, forcefully shook off his hand, and then... she took a step and stepped right on the spilled soup, losing her balance and falling straight at him.
