57: Chapter 57 There's something we need your cooperation with in our investigation.

Xia Ningxue was dressed in her law enforcement uniform.

She walked down the hospital corridor, keeping a close eye on the people around her.

Not long ago, she had received a tip-off saying that someone wanted to assassinate Li Taian.

One had to know that Li Taian was connected to many major cases!

He couldn't die; if he did, all sorts of leads would be cut off!

Just as Xia Ningxue was carefully searching for the assassin,

A handsome figure entered her field of vision!

Seeing the other party smiling and staring at her, Xia Ningxue nodded politely and then looked away.

"Xia Ningxue!" Luo Wei walked up with a smile. "Don't you recognize me?"

"You are..." Xia Ningxue quickly sized Luo Wei up.

After a while, she recognized him. "Luo Wei?"

Luo Wei nodded with a smile. "We haven't seen each other since high school graduation, right?"

"I really didn't expect that you'd go from being the campus belle to the Police Beauty!"

Xia Ningxue didn't mind Luo Wei's teasing.

She couldn't help but size up the handsome man before her once more.

The Luo Wei in her memory was introverted, green, and determined.

The current Luo Wei had become handsome and outgoing, even with a hint of a rogue-like charm!

Speaking of which, the two of them indeed hadn't met since high school graduation until today.

Complex emotions welled up in Xia Ningxue's beautiful eyes. She suppressed her inner impulse and reservedly reached out her hand to Luo Wei.

Luo Wei reached out, grasped her soft and petite hand, and gave it a gentle shake.

When he wanted to let go, Xia Ningxue didn't release her grip.

Back then, Xia Ningxue had passionately confessed her feelings to him.

But Luo Wei had rejected her out of an inferiority complex.

"By the way, you're really something now!" Luo Wei pulled Xia Ningxue back to reality.

"Are you investigating some big case here in the hospital?"

Xia Ningxue let go of Luo Wei's hand.

She shook her head and explained sheepishly,

"I'm not qualified to participate in major cases yet."

"However, I received a tip-off call a few days ago."

"Somehow, I ended up cracking a cold case from years ago!"

Xia Ningxue wasn't the type to show off, but she couldn't help sharing this with Luo Wei.

No matter what, she had no idea that the person who had called in the tip that day was none other than Luo Wei!

"Did you change your phone number?" Xia Ningxue took out her phone, wanting to add Luo Wei's contact information.

"I didn't." Luo Wei shook his head. "I'm still using the same old number!"

"Me too." Xia Ningxue put away her phone happily.

Then, she gave Luo Wei a resentful punch.

"You're so heartless, not taking the initiative to contact me for so many years!"

"Hehe, I'll contact you often from now on!"

"Mm!" Receiving such a reply, Xia Ningxue was satisfied.

She was about to wave goodbye and continue her patrol when she didn't expect Luo Wei to suddenly mention something.

"By the way, when I passed by a room just now, I heard a certain doctor on the phone with someone!"

"The person on the phone seemed to be blackmailing that doctor into killing someone!"

Hearing Luo Wei's words, Xia Ningxue was overjoyed. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely certain!" Luo Wei promised, patting his chest.

"Which doctor was it? Tell me quickly!"

Luo Wei led Xia Ningxue and successfully found the male doctor surnamed Zhang.

Xia Ningxue was in no hurry to alert the target; she planned to catch Doctor Zhang in the act!

Zhang Song had no idea that he was already being watched by Law enforcement personnel.

At this moment, he was filled with immense regret. He shouldn't have gambled, and he especially shouldn't have borrowed money from Taian Company.

No matter what, he never imagined that the people from Taian Company would actually blackmail him into committing murder—and the target was the famous Li Taian!

He naturally knew that Li Taian was in a VIP ward on the sixth floor.

However, Law enforcement personnel were monitoring him.

Medical staff entering and exiting the ward needed to be reported and recorded.

He wasn't assigned to treat Li Taian, so he naturally didn't have the qualifications to enter the ward.

If he couldn't get into the ward, how was he supposed to kill Li Taian?

After thinking it over, Zhang Song came up with a method.

And that was to swap the medication!

Secretly replace a bottle with a highly toxic liquid.

This way, even without entering the ward, he could still kill Li Taian!

Although the hospital had very strict controls over various drugs, as a doctor, Zhang Song had many ways to obtain certain prohibited substances!

Now, he poured those prohibited substances into a small medicine bottle and replaced the label on that bottle.

Then, he hid the bottle in his palm and began wandering around the corridor.

After wandering for a while, he finally waited for his target!

A nurse appeared in the corridor, pushing a treatment cart.

Zhang Song knew that the patient that nurse was responsible for was none other than Li Taian!

The nurse was clearly going to give Li Taian an injection and change his meds!

Zhang Song quickly stepped forward to stop the nurse.

He found a topic and began chatting with her.

During the conversation, he placed his hand on the treatment cart.

Taking advantage of the nurse's inattention, he quickly and secretly placed the medicine bottle hidden in his palm onto the treatment cart, mixing it in with the other medications!

Having done this, Zhang Song let out a long sigh of relief in his heart, thinking his actions had gone completely unnoticed.

In reality, Xia Ningxue, hiding around the corner of the corridor, had used her phone to film his little maneuver!

Seeing Zhang Song and the nurse part ways, Xia Ningxue stepped forward quickly!

She first picked up that bottle of medicine from the nurse's treatment cart to prevent Zhang Song from destroying the evidence!

Only then did she let out an angry shout, "Doctor Zhang, please explain what is going on with this bottle of medicine?"

Hearing the voice, Zhang Song turned his head and saw a valiant female police officer holding the very medicine bottle he had just placed on the treatment cart!

In an instant, he felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His face turned deathly pale, and his legs went weak, causing him to collapse directly onto the floor!

His mind went blank; he had only one thought, and that was that he was finished!

Xia Ningxue quickly took out her handcuffs and restrained Zhang Song.

She also called for other colleagues to come over.

Luo Wei hadn't left yet; he stood not far away, witnessing the scene.

With Zhang Song's arrest, Li Yina's plan to kill Li Taian had naturally failed!

The system's pleasant notification tone sounded in Luo Wei's ear.

[Congratulations, you have gained 1 intelligence point]

Successfully harvested an intelligence point!

Luo Wei was in an exceptionally good mood.

He turned and headed downstairs, intending to leave the hospital.

However, just as he reached the hospital's main entrance, he received a call from Xia Ningxue.

Luo Wei chuckled and guessed, "What, you've rendered a great service and want to treat me to a meal?"

"That's right, but..." Xia Ningxue's voice was extremely urgent, "Don't leave yet. There's something you need to cooperate with our investigation!"

"Okay," Luo Wei agreed, but he couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy.

He tried hard to recall if he had slipped up somewhere.

He had always been very careful, precisely because he didn't want to get involved in any messy business.

He just wanted to be a handsome man who made a fortune quietly and occasionally played the pig to eat the tiger...
