A miraculous doctor descended from the heavens.

This weekend, a few days later.

Gu Feng received a phone call from Aunt Bai.

Hearing Aunt Bai's voice, Gu Feng was quite surprised. That day at Shui Mu Workshop, he had only left his phone number to her with a sliver of hope.

He originally thought he would hardly see her again, or at least for a long time.

Aunt Bai cried on the other end of the phone, sobbing uncontrollably.

Gu Feng was a little flustered.

After all that commotion, he finally found out that Long Tai had died in an accident.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Feng originally thought he would be happy. Because with Long Tai gone, the barrier between him and Aunt Bai would disappear. But strangely, he felt more sentimental.

Aunt Bai has never experienced the death of a loved one.

Perhaps, in her heart, those truly dearest and most beloved relatives, those with whom she shared blood ties, had already died. So at this moment, she truly didn't know how to handle Long Tai's funeral arrangements.

Aunt Bai is strong, but she is not without moments of vulnerability. For example, when she called Gu Feng, feeling lost and helpless, all she could think of was Gu Feng.

While comforting her over the phone, telling her not to worry, Gu Feng quickly got into the car and headed out to the border region.

After clearing customs, they quickly arrived at Aunt Bai's residence. It wasn't the building Gu Feng had gone to before, nor was it Hong Sheng's old mansion.

Hong Sheng's case was very serious; besides the wall-cooking incident, it involved a total of forty or fifty other illegal and criminal activities. The old mansion, a symbol of wealth and status, was also quickly and temporarily sealed off. So Aunt Bai took Long Tai away from the mansion, bought him a duplex villa in the Lijing Villa outside the pass, and hired a personal nurse and a full-time nanny to take good care of him.

Ultimately, however, Long Tai's life was too short.

The nurse only had time to go to the restroom when he tumbled down the stairs in his wheelchair.

His head struck his favorite large vase at the corner of the stairs, and he didn't make it to Aunt Bai's return before he died.

Long Tai was indeed unlucky. He didn't even have the chance to give a few stern last words like Abbess Miejue or have Aunt Bai swear a few poisonous oaths.

When Gu Feng entered, Long Tai had already been dead for some time. Aunt Bai was kneeling in front of him, tears streaming down her face. Beside her were his shattered wheelchair and the broken pieces of a vase.

Seeing this scene, Gu Feng felt quite heartbroken and quickly went forward to help Aunt Bai up.

When Aunt Bai saw Gu Feng, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.

Gu Feng sighed silently and gently embraced her. Not good at comforting people, he thought for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Please accept my condolences and don't be too sad."

Aunt Bai cried for a long time before her sobs gradually subsided.

Seeing the nurses and nannies standing there in a daze, Gu Feng quickly waved them over, signaling them to come and help Aunt Bai down. Then he took out his phone to call someone to arrange Long Tai's funeral.

No matter how many evil deeds Long Tai committed in his lifetime, death is like a lamp going out, and past grievances will vanish into thin air and be wiped clean.

The person is dead, so what's there to worry about, and what's there to hold onto?

After making the call, Gu Feng found a sheet and covered Long Tai's body with it. But as he knelt down, his gaze inadvertently fell on the twisted and deformed electric wheelchair.

There is a chip in the leather cover of the left brake lever, exposing the internal wiring.

The wire, which should have been intact, was broken in the middle. The cut was clean and clear, obviously not caused by a fall, but by someone cutting it with scissors.

This line controls the braking system of the electric wheelchair. It's wrapped in layers of genuine leather, making it extremely difficult to break under normal circumstances. If it breaks, the brakes will fail…

This is not an accident, but a murder?

Gu Feng was puzzled. Long Tai was already half-dead and crippled; who wanted to kill him?

He had already checked when he came in; there were no signs of forced entry on the doors or windows. Besides Aunt Bai, who was out, the only other people in the villa were the nurse and the nanny.

Besides them, could it be that Longtai himself had a moment of madness and cut that brake cable?

If this is indeed a murder case, the murderer must be someone from this villa. Because although Long Tai is crippled, he's not dead... of course, he is now.

However, he should have been very vigilant before that, and it's impossible that he wouldn't have noticed that the braking system was broken.

The perpetrator must have been someone very close to Long Tai, who secretly cut the brake lines when Long Tai was off guard, causing the wheelchair to go out of control and resulting in Long Tai's "accidental" death.

Therefore, the answer is obvious. The perpetrator is either a nurse or a nanny. Judging from all the signs, it is most likely a nurse.

This is a fact that can be basically confirmed.

However, Gu Feng didn't tell Aunt Bai about it immediately. He was wondering about the nurse's motive for murdering Long Tai.

Could it be that Long Tai sexually harassed her, to the point that she could no longer bear it and had murderous thoughts?

While this reason is not impossible, it's also highly unlikely. Long Tai is already disabled; even if he had the will, he lacks the strength. What's the point of causing such public outrage?

Besides this motive, could it be that they were coerced or bribed?

The more Gu Feng thought about it, the more horrified he became. Because if there was truly one person in this world who most wanted Long Tai dead, that person was himself.

Because as long as Long Tai is alive, he can never be with Aunt Bai.

Indeed, he had thought more than once how wonderful it would be if Long Tai didn't exist. Then Aunt Bai wouldn't be in so much pain, and he wouldn't be so conflicted. However, while he wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue, he wouldn't stoop so low as to harm a half-crippled person.

However, just because you can't do it yourself doesn't mean others can't.

After much thought, there was only one person willing to do such a heinous thing for me and resolve my inner turmoil.

Li Xiaolan.

He only told Li Xiaolan about his relationship with Aunt Bai. And only Li Xiaolan knew Aunt Bai's current address.

Thinking of this, Gu Feng took out his phone and dialed Li Xiaolan's number.

"Senior brother..." Gu Feng called out after the call connected, but hesitated to speak. If Li Xiaolan really did it, then he meant well. To question him like this would be like biting the hand that feeds him.

"Hmm? Junior brother, what do you need me for?" There was a lot of noise on Li Xiaolan's end, so he was obviously busy.

"That, Long Tai, he..." Gu Feng began with difficulty.

"Oh, I see. Are you trying to tell me that he's dead?" Li Xiaolan asked.

"Yes." Gu Feng nodded.

Are you trying to ask me if this matter has anything to do with me?

"Yes." Gu Feng felt very guilty.

"Yes, it was me. I gave that nurse some money," Li Xiaolan admitted without hesitation.

"..." Gu Feng was at a loss for words. He had originally thought that Li Xiaolan would deny it, but he didn't expect him to admit it so readily.

"Junior brother, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. Since you can't bear to do this, then I'll do it for you." As Li Xiaolan spoke, the noise subsided, indicating they had moved to a secluded spot. "Junior brother, do you remember Chu Tiannan's evaluation of you?"

"Senior Brother Chu?" Gu Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I don't remember."

"So forgetful? Didn't he advise you not to be so soft-hearted again after what happened with Zheng Fengjiao? Why haven't you learned your lesson? Think about it, if you hadn't been merciful to the enemy, Ye Peng wouldn't still be lying in the hospital now."

Gu Feng was so ashamed that he opened his mouth and said, "Senior brother..."

Li Xiaolan interrupted him: "Chu Tiannan said you're a very good person—smart, wise, loyal, and generous. You can be a brother, but not an enemy. However, despite all your good qualities, you have one flaw: you're soft-hearted. This is your biggest weakness. In this treacherous society, in this cruel and bloody world, this is absolutely fatal. I used to disagree with Chu Tiannan's views, thinking he was too extreme and ruthless. But since being expelled from school, imprisoned, and finally joining a gang, I've witnessed the darkest side of society, and I've finally begun to understand his words. So, junior brother, from now on, you should be more ruthless."

"I……"

"Alright, I'm busy here. Think about what I said carefully." Li Xiaolan said, preparing to hang up, but before hanging up, he suddenly asked, "By the way, you're not blaming me for killing Long Tai, are you?"

"No, how could I... I understand how good my senior brother is to me." Gu Feng could only sigh at the end. "Senior brother, no matter what, thank you."

"Damn it, I don't like listening to this crap. Okay, that's enough, stop nagging." Li Xiaolan said and slammed down the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Feng stared blankly at Long Tai's body, unable to come back to his senses for a long time...
