The private hospital where Qin Mobai stayed had a kitchen. He said he wanted to eat the dishes she cooked. After consulting the doctor, Lou Xi made vegetable porridge for Qin Mobai. It was light and easy to eat.

Lou Xi brought the vegetable porridge to Qin Mobai and watched as he ate it with satisfaction.

"Your cooking is getting better and better," Qin Mobai never hesitated to compliment Lou Xi.

"If you like it, I’ll cook for you every day."

"Too much trouble for the madam."

"It’s no trouble at all. Cooking doesn’t take that long," Lou Xi seemed to have already imagined the scene of cooking for Qin Mobai every day, which was very delightful.

"As you wish!" As long as Lou Xi was happy, that was all that mattered.

Just as the two of them were talking, Lou Xi’s phone rang.

As usual, Qin Mobai checked the caller ID first and, after confirming it wasn’t from Xi Siwei’s side, handed the phone to Lou Xi.

"This Ed is Ji Nanming’s subordinate. Ji Nanming had something to do and left the capital a few days ago, leaving Ed here," Lou Xi explained Ed’s presence to Qin Mobai.

Qin Mobai chuckled, "I didn’t ask you who Ed was."

"I was just afraid you’d misunderstand!"

"In your heart, am I just a jealous person?" Qin Mobai smiled faintly.

"Not just jealous," Lou Xi confidently said, "Totally jealous!"

As they joked, Lou Xi answered the call from Ed.

She turned her back to Qin Mobai, so she didn’t see Qin Mobai’s expression gradually darken.

Who could blame him? His wife was too enchanting. Even if she didn’t provoke others, someone would come forward on their own.

One after another, endlessly.

As Lou Xi’s husband, Qin Mobai also felt exhausted.

They hadn’t even resolved the matter with Xi Siwei, and now there was Ji Nanming.

Lou Xi only felt contempt for Xi Siwei, but it was different with Ji Nanming; she trusted him.

It wasn’t that Lou Xi couldn’t trust men other than him, but it just wasn’t okay if that person was Ji Nanming.

Lou Xi walked over to the windowsill to take the call, not because she was afraid Qin Mobai would hear her, just out of habit.

"Miss, where were you last night? I couldn’t find you in the hotel room,"

"I was at the hospital."

"Oh, I just wanted to tell you that the murderer has been found." But Ed’s tone didn’t sound excited about finding the murderer! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"The murderer has been found?" Lou Xi said with surprise, "If the murderer is found, we can find out who’s behind it all, then..."

"We found his corpse."

Lou Xi suddenly fell silent; what was the use of finding a corpse? Dead men tell no tales!

Lou Xi shook her head at Qin Mobai, looking helpless.

"Miss, you still need to come to the police station to identify him. Only if it’s confirmed as the murderer can the police continue their investigation."

Lou Xi took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

"I’ll come to pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Lou Xi, looking a bit dejected, said to Qin Mobai, "Ed just told me that the guy who shot at you the other day is dead. I made a puzzle at the police station earlier; he was a repeat offender who got out of prison six months ago. The mastermind sent him to kill you. Now he’s dead, which means we’ve lost our lead."

Qin Mobai’s expression was grave; with the murderer dead, they had taken another difficult step in tracking the mastermind.

"I have to go to the police station later; I saw the murderer on that day, I need to go identify him," Lou Xi sat by Qin Mobai’s bed, "This matter will surely pass quickly; I believe the future is definitely bright."

Thankfully, Lou Xi had such an optimistic and positive mindset. If it were another girl, she’d be utterly lost.

"Just wait a few more days," Qin Mobai gently held Lou Xi’s hand.

She understood the meaning behind his words.

Once he recovered, he’d be that all-powerful Qin Mobai once again!
