Jiang Yunings eyes were glowing. He was so excited his lips were shaking. Did you just agree to let me clean your apartment? he asked.
Nian Xi was amused and annoyed by his question. Is this the right time to be talking about that?
Yes, said Jiang Yuning, nodding emphatically.
Nian Xi didnt answer. But she was deeply moved. No one had ever cared about her so much. Even with his injuries, he was more worried about her than himself. You can clean my apartment when your injuries are healed. Ill come to see you at the hospital.
I Ill be waiting for you. Jiang Yuning finally got into the ambulance.
Whaat? The medical workers had seen many injured or ill people before and had even witnessed people saying their final goodbyes. But this was the very first time they heard people making cleaning arrangements before getting into the ambulance. Also, theyd never seen such a gorgeous guy talk so eagerly about cleaning someone elses apartment. Now that was a head-scratcher!

About ten minutes after the ambulance left, Fang Qi and his colleagues showed up. Looking at the burning building, Fang Qi asked Nian Xi, What the hells going on here? You told me you found the real murderer. Isnt Zhao Yi the murderer?
Officer Fang, help! wailed Yang Wenzhi, who was still cuffed near the building. Then he yelled nervously, The lab caught fire. Officer Nian thought I was trying to kill her. Thats crazy!
Shut up.
He was still lying. Nian Xu rushed over and gave him a few heavy slaps right on the face. Then she said, Scum! You think I didnt see your wicked little smile before you locked me in the lab? If Professor Jiang hadnt been there, Id have died in the fire. Youre so young but so evil. You planned to kill me and make it look like an accident, huh? Im telling you, I still have the registration book.
Yang Wenzhis expression froze.
Nian Xi threw the registration book at Fang Qi and said, Zhao Yis innocent. Its written clearly that after he left, Duan Yang did an experiment and used a bottle of liquid medicine in the lab. Look. This is Duan Yangs handwriting. After that, Yang Wenzhi went into the lab. Hes the one who wrote Yang Wenzhi that love letter. Hes gay.
Yang Wenzhi smiled coldly and said, Ill never confess. You have nothing on me! Theres not enough evidence from that registration book to prove Im the murderer or wrote that love letter. The fire was an accident. We were doing experiments about the quantum engine. Electricity was everywhere in the lab. You guys accidentally hit the device when you were in there. Thats what caused the fire. Not me. You may be the police. But you cant frame me.
Nian Xi was so angry she wanted to kill him. She had seen many shameless criminals, but none as shameless as he was. Thats ridiculous, she said.
Ignoring Yang Wenzhi, she walked over to Fang Qi and said, I dont think well get a confession out of him. Take him back to the station and start the interrogation.
Sighing, Fang Qi said, Feng Ji Chuan was right about one thing. The murderers smart. This is gonna be a problem. You coming?
She shook her head no and said, Jiang Yuning got hurt saving me. I need to go to the hospital to how hes doing.
Nian Xi then added, I cant believe Im still alive. Jiang Yunings amazing. You dont know that Eh, you wouldnt understand. We ordinary people just cant fathom the world of geniuses. Tonight I feel like Detective Conan in Case Closed, the Japanese Manga series.
Fang Qi extended his hand, touched her forehead and said ironically, Um, are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever? Are you still the same Nian Xi Ive always known?
