“Impossible!”

Chu Tong’s voice suddenly rose, firm and decisive.

Ye Xiaofei hadn’t expected such a strong reaction from Chu Tong. It instantly piqued his intense curiosity, and he asked, “Why is it impossible? Do you have someone you like?”

“No!” Chu Tong replied firmly. However, her expression changed, and involuntarily, the image of that mysterious expert appeared in her mind.

Ye Xiaofei narrowed his eyes and said, “Judging by your look, you indeed have feelings for someone.”

Taking a deep breath, Chu Tong said, “No, you’re overthinking it. If you want my heart, you’ll have to make me genuinely like you. 1 don’t want to deceive you. Although I admire your medical skills and hope you can become the protector of our police force, I… don’t have feelings for you.”

Ye Xiaofei shook his head and said with conviction, “1 know you don’t like me and even find me annoying. But 1 can still tell that you have someone you like. Come on, describe the person you like.”

Chu Tong’s lips twitched, and she gripped the steering wheel tightly, her gaze fixed ahead. Her eyes softened, and she said, “1 do like someone, but I don’t know his name. I’ve only seen him once.”

“Wow, love at first sight! What kind of person has such a huge attraction?” Ye Xiaofei couldn’t help but feel curious.

“Today, he saved my life. If it weren’t for him, that fugitive would have raped and killed me. Most importantly, he has a noble character and a strong sense of justice—a charm that deeply mesmerizes me.”

As Chu Tong spoke, she glanced at Ye Xiaofei, seemingly comparing him to the mysterious expert. In an instant, a sense of disdain and disgust appeared in her eyes.

Ye Xiaofei couldn’t hold back his laughter at this moment. He didn’t expect that the person Chu Tong liked was him.

He had just acted out of impulse in front of Chu Tong, trying to show off, but he never thought it would lead to Chu Tong falling in love at first sight.

What’s even more amusing was that Chu Tong now detested the real him and yet had to pretend to be his lover.

The person Chu Tong truly liked, despite how she admired him, was still him.

If Chu Tong ever found out that the person who captured her heart was the very person she disliked before, who knows if she would go crazy?

Chu Tong snorted and said, “Do you find it amusing?”

Rubbing his nose, Ye Xiaofei concealed his amusement and said, “No. So now you’re my lover, aren’t you betraying the one you like?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I like him, but it’s just an unspoken feeling,” Chu Tong said.

Ye Xiaofei teased, “What if one day he wants to be with you? What will you do then?”

“I…” Chu Tong suddenly pounded the steering wheel in frustration, “Why do you make so many assumptions? Just be content that you’re my lover. Do you need to interfere in so many things?”

Ye Xiaofei burst into laughter, saying, “Fine! I won’t interfere, I won’t interfere!”

Chu Tong felt that this guy’s laughter was peculiar, and quickly concluded that Ye Xiaofei wasn’t as well-intentioned as he seemed; he might be plotting to torment her.

But that didn’t matter because even if he got her body, he would never have her heart.

In no time, they arrived at the criminal investigation department. Ye Xiaofei, Xiao Qiang, and Chu Tong gathered with the injured party from before.

They recounted the whole incident in detail once again.

You see, the four detectives were driving a van, and after they had Su Zhenhai on board, they immediately put handcuffs and leg irons on him because they were well aware of how dangerous he was.

But none of them had anticipated that Su Zhenhai had accomplices. As their van passed an intersection, it was abruptly forced to stop by a small truck.

Before the four detectives could react, a person rushed into the van and delivered a single blow to each of them. Soon, they lost all ability to move and could only watch helplessly as the person took Su Zhenhai away.

Xiao Qiang furrowed his brow and said, “From the time the enemy intercepted our vehicle until they stormed in, none of you had a chance to draw your guns? How could your vigilance be so poor?”

All four of them frowned, and one of them said, “You’re right, it wasn’t right. I felt like my reactions were slow at that moment.”

The other three nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiaofei chimed in, saying, “1 understand this issue. They had been poisoned beforehand, which made their reactions only one-third of what they would normally be. The enemy’s poisoning technique was indeed very skillful, and they even knew the Five Poison Palms kung fu. It’s a stroke of luck that you all survived.”

Ye Xiaofei was particularly concerned about this matter because the culprit used poison.

Su Xiaoyu was killed by poison, and Fang Yunshu nearly suffered the same fate. This led Ye Xiaofei to suspect that the same person was behind both incidents.

It was relatively easier to train a skilled martial artist, but cultivating an expert in using poison was a much more challenging task. In a place like Ning City, the chances of having two top-notch poison experts at the same time were quite slim.

Now, Ye Xiaofei finally found another clue, so naturally, he couldn’t let it go easily..
