Chapter 257: Chapter 164: Using Her to Analyze Human Anatomy_2

"I’ve decided to clarify the cause of death for the four men at the Jiaoyang Club. It couldn’t have been Chen Bing who killed them, just as Song Xuyao said, Chen Bing was merely a pawn; someone else was directing him." Duan Feixun said, "By doing this, I want to seek Zheng Tong’s forgiveness. Qingchen, don’t just listen to Bei Ran. I know I was wrong, but it’s not unforgivable, right? Besides, you and Zheng Tong were old schoolmates; you wouldn’t want her to be alone!"

Gu Qingchen glanced at him, the always astute lawyer, who, when faced with love one day, would also become utterly disoriented!

People, no matter how cold and ruthless, and even if they have long given up hope, when they meet that certain someone one day, will also feel that there is still endless hope in life.

Seeing him silent, Duan Feixun continued: "Whatever grudge there is between you and Song Xuyao, I won’t interfere, but I feel that he’s not the kind to let you off easily!"

"He won’t let me go?" Gu Qingchen took a deep drag of his cigarette, "And how do you know that I would let him off?"

His layout, his master plan, his strategies, if he wasn’t a doctor with superb medical skills, he could have been an outstanding talent in other fields with a sharp mind.

However, Gu Qingchen overlooked one thing, and that was Bei Ran’s involvement. She is an active and perceptive woman, rare in her intelligence and clarity.

He never wanted her to get involved; no matter how dark or cruel his past was, she shouldn’t have been a part of it.

Yet, it was clear that he had underestimated her abilities, and her love for him.

"Then I’ve come at the right time!" Duan Feixun became excited, "Song Xuyao has played us, you’re still okay; Bei Ran trusts you, but I’m screwed. He directly caused my wife to leave me, and I have to settle this score with him!"

Gu Qingchen then fixed his gaze upon him: "But, Feixun, I have to say, as a married man, you must learn to reject other women’s advances! If you embrace the saying ’out of a myriad choices, you only take one ladle to drink’, then you must be strict with yourself. The reason Song Xuyao could play you was precisely because you actually went to Yu Ke’s place that night!"

"I know I didn’t handle that matter well, I’ve already arranged for Yu Ke to work in another law firm!" Duan Feixun said, "So don’t blame me anymore, I’ll be more careful in the future. The key issue now is..."

Gu Qingchen nodded his head, signaling that the matter was done, and the two sat down across each other at a natural stone table by the lakeside. The twinkling stars made the table surface faintly visible.

"Alright, let’s reconstruct the case. We met on the bridge, and you’ve seen that photo taken by Song Xuyao, timestamped at midnight. You went to Yu Ke’s place, I went to see my master." Gu Qingchen said, "Have you noticed that photo, it doesn’t show our cars stopping, but in motion."

Duan Feixun was a smart man too: "You mean to say, Song Xuyao’s real intention was to only target you. That photo could have implicated you in the murder, making you unable to shake off suspicion, but since it also captured my car, he had no choice but to include both of us as suspects. Moreover, I did have grievances with the men at the Jiaoyang Club. Song Xuyao wanted to kill two birds with one stone!"

"Correct!" Gu Qingchen’s fingers were slender and beautiful as he gently tapped on the stone table.

"But, Qingchen, there is something I don’t understand..." Duan Feixun said, "I didn’t want Zheng Tong to know that I had been to Yu Ke’s house, I was worried she would misunderstand my relationship with Yu Ke, and as a result, I overplayed my hand, causing my wife to leave! But you, it’s different, why didn’t you say where you went?"

Gu Qingchen’s hawk-like sharp and inscrutable eyes fixed on Duan Feixun, and after a long time, he finally spoke, "Do you really think it was a coincidence when Bei Ran first walked into the police station?"

Duan Feixun slapped the table, "Are you saying that it was Song Xuyao targeting you then? Between you and him, there really is something... you didn’t want Bei Ran to get hurt by him, so you let Song Xuyao target you..."

"That’s one aspect; I truly did not want Bei Ran to get involved in the old matters between him and me. She shouldn’t be harmed by my past." Gu Qingchen looked towards the glittering lake surface, his gaze as unfathomable as the lake itself, "On the other hand, I needed to lure Song Xuyao into the trap I’ve set..."

Duan Feixun said generously, "Count me in! He’s responsible for my wife leaving; I won’t let it go..."

After Duan Feixun left, Gu Qingchen sat by the stone table, staring at the lake water that had lost even a hint of light; he too was as motionless as a rock.

The air was incredibly still.

Occasionally, the croaking of frogs and chirping of insects would pull his thoughts back to reality.

He retracted his gaze from the lake surface, then turned his head to look towards his villa, where a blue light shone in the bedroom on the second floor. In this autumn night that was cool and penetrating to the core, it gave off a faintly warm feeling.

Gu Qingchen stood up and then strode towards his home.

Bei Ran likes the room to be blue, the color of the sky, the color of the ocean, the color that makes people feel very comfortable.

Gu Qingchen’s return was quiet, he went to look at the child, who was sleeping in a mischievous posture, but inexplicably, it warmed his heart.

After returning to the bedroom, Bei Ran had already fallen asleep.

He stood by her side, gazing at her in her inelegant sleeping posture, and suddenly let out a quiet chuckle. This was her, unknown to others.

In front of others, graceful and beautiful; behind them, in front of him, she was like a child.

Her sleeping posture was like that of a little fish, in his heart, she was his woman, and also the child he doted on.

Gu Qingchen took a shower, then moved to her side and lay down.

Bei Ran felt the warmth beside her and cuddled into his embrace.

Once upon a time, there was a safety distance of ten centimeters between them.

When she first lay down, she wouldn’t get so close to him.

Because she knew, their marriage was always just a contract after all.

Even if they lay on the same bed, it was only about the physical fit.

His heart had its boundaries, and so did hers.

However, gradually, that ten-centimeter safety distance, under the witness of each night, grew shorter and shorter until it disappeared completely!

When she would burrow into his arms, he would reach out to embrace her.

She slept like a mischievous child, kicking off the blankets, and loved to cling onto him like a koala...

Gu Qingchen ran his hand through her long hair, his gentle fingertips telling a silent tale of tender love.

Bei Ran slowly opened her eyes and softly called out, "Qingchen..."

He turned around, both lying on their sides, their bodies pressed together, facing each other.

He responded to her, then slid his slender fingers into her nightgown, where inside, as usual, she did not like any restraints...

"Have you been thinking about me?" he asked softly.

"No..." Bei Ran murmured, "I was wondering who harmed those four men..."

Before she could finish, Gu Qingchen sealed her words with a kiss, "Don’t mention others! Tell me, haven’t you missed me?"

"No..." She hummed lightly, the domineering man needed to be tamed!

The warm breath of Gu Qingchen lingered around her ear, he blew softly, and she couldn’t help but shiver...

"Dare to say no? What is this?" He presented the evidence to her.
