Xing Haodong thought she would need at least a few days to consider it, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily.
"The dance hall is full of people of all kinds. I plan to disguise myself as a wealthy Hong Kong businessman, and I need you to... pretend to be my wife. You'll need to dress a little more fashionably and revealingly. Is that acceptable to you?"
Jiang Mingxin showed surprise and moved closer to him. "How exposed? You know I'm injured, so there are some parts of my body that I can't show."
Xing Haodong lowered his eyes and handed her a picture album from his storage box. "Pick something wearable, and I'll ask a tailor to make it for you later."
Jiang Mingxin curiously flipped through the album and smiled, "Oh, isn't this a Hong Kong gossip magazine?"
"Gossip magazine? You're wrong. There aren't any Feng Shui masters in it."
"It's not about Yin and Yang or the Five Elements. The gossip I'm talking about is about the romantic affairs of celebrities... Oh, forget it. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Xing Haodong was quite unconvinced, "Just tell me, and I'll understand, right?"
Jiang Mingxin ordered a long V-neck dress like Qiu Shuzhen's. "This is it. I'll put a small shawl on the outside. It can just cover the scar on my arm."
Xing Haodong looked at her for a few seconds, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"What's with that expression on your face? Didn't you say you wanted to show some skin?"
"No, the neckline is too big!"
Xing Haodong's traditional thinking made this unacceptable. "Why don't we ask the tailor to change it to a round neckline?"
"It won't look good if I change it to that. At most, I can shorten it a little, to here." Jiang Mingxin drew a line along his collarbone with his fingernail. "It has to be a contrast to my usual appearance so people won't recognize me. Otherwise, I'm really asking for death."
Xing Haodong agreed with this: "Don't worry, the disguise experts will put makeup on us when the time comes. Brother Zhou Kui will definitely not be able to recognize us."
"By the way, have you found out who the married woman surnamed Tong is?" Jiang Mingxin asked.
Xing Haodong shook his head: "Not yet. Zhou Jing has been recovering from his injuries recently and hasn't had any private contact with any woman."
Jiang Mingxin's eyes rolled, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"Then let's make a show of force. Get a few people to go to the hospital and spread a rumor. Say a patient was having an affair with a married woman, and the husband caught them red-handed, and then let the dog bite them... What do you think Zhou Jing's reaction will be?"
Xing Haodong looked at her helplessly.
"Hey, don't tell me that we can still be moral towards such a villain? What's wrong with using some tricks to solve the case?" Jiang Mingxin raised his eyebrows at him.
Xing Haodong has always been serious and upright, and disdains to use this method, but after thinking about it carefully, he feels that what she said makes some sense.
"Okay, let's try it."

In the hospital, Zhou Kui slapped Zhou Jing hard.
"Idiot! I told you I'd handle it, why are you so anxious? Now, Xing Haodong is not only personally investigating the noodle shop fire, he's also uncovering Zhou Suyun's case from three years ago! What if those guys give you away?"
Zhou Jing covered his face with his hands, his eyes sinister. "Don't worry, brother. They wouldn't dare. If all else fails, we can find a scapegoat. It'll only cost a few more bucks."
"That's easy to say. Do you know how many eyes are staring at us at this critical moment? He didn't hurt Jiang Mingxin at all, but he almost got himself into trouble. How could my second uncle give birth to a loser like you! And those rumors that have been circulating in the hospital recently, about him having an affair with a married woman and being bitten by a dog, aren't they talking about you?"
"What should we do now?" Zhou Jing was not convinced, but he had to hold it in in front of Zhou Kui.
Zhou Kui pondered for a long time, a sinister look flashing in his eyes, "I can only let that guy take the blame for you. I was originally planning to keep him to stab Xing Haodong, if it weren't for you..."
After saying that, he made a phone call.
The person who answered the phone was horrified and punched the window, causing blood to flow.
The flood of regret instantly drowned him, but what could he do? From the moment he boarded the Zhou family's pirate ship, everything was too late.
