He arrived somewhat late and was unclear about what had happened. He only saw Gu Qiaoqiao in a disheveled state, soaked in red wine, her face covered in tears, her eyes filled with confusion and panic, as if she would break down any moment. At that time, Chu Chengfeng was present. However, Chu Chengfeng also did not know what exactly had happened. He could only grasp a simple understanding, learning that Gu Qiaoqiao, after drinking too much, mistook Zhu Jianguo for him, then charged at the woman beside him, Sun Yingke, leading to the scene at that moment. By then, it was too late for him to inquire further because he felt that perhaps Gu Qiaoqiao would break down or lose composure at any moment... He took off his coat to wrap her and then led her away from the karaoke without a word. Bai Yun and Xiao Yu naturally followed alongside. Once outside, Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to come to her senses, perhaps recalling the embarrassing scene just moments ago, and started crying again. At that time, it seemed the only thing Gu Qiaoqiao could do was weep. Bai Yun kept comforting her, and Xiao Yu’s mouth was also non-stop. At that moment, his mind was in unprecedented chaos. And so, he, the captain of the highly sensitive Special Preparation Team One, praised as Huaxia’s genius medical doctor, unwittingly walked through that alley. He didn’t notice any unusual occurrences. Nor did he hear the elder’s faint cries for help. The elder, stabbed by four thugs, lay in the snow calling for help, was one of New Nation’s old founding members, whose body was discovered on the morning of the fourth day after New Year. Originally, he wanted to see the alley where he lived as a child, but unexpectedly encountered four thugs who, seeing him alone, decided to rob him, and finally stabbed him. If it had been discovered then, Elder Luo would not have died. He died from excessive blood loss, and the low temperature, which froze him to death alive. So, when he received a call from the East Branch Bureau police station that morning, he couldn’t believe it was true. Afterward, he went to the police station to understand the sequence of events, and he clearly remembered the office was deathly silent. Five young police officers were looking at him in unison; although there was no hint of blame, the regret and heartache were palpable. Because during that time frame, only he had passed by, yet he hadn’t noticed, not even paying attention to the four fleeing men. If he had relied on his keen medical instinct for blood, perhaps Elder Luo wouldn’t have died on that cold winter night. What they didn’t know was that he had another identity, the captain of the Special Preparation Team, a newly formed special team composed of top talents. And he was the outstanding talent among them. But it was precisely such a person who walked past a crime scene without a clue, causing the elder to die unrecovered from his anguish. He went to the hospital and saw Elder Luo’s cold corpse; he deduced the exact time of death was the moment he passed by. At that moment, he felt his world was collapsing. The ideals and beliefs he always prided himself on shattered him completely. After returning home, he locked himself in the study, hating himself tremendously at that moment. He wished the one who had died was him, Qin Yize. For the first time, he felt that incorporating Gu Qiaoqiao into his life was a mistake, but the error had already occurred, and now the only thing he could do was to carry away this mistake.
