His Newlywed Wife Turns Out to Be a Master. Gu Huaiyuan’s eyes were bloodshot, his hands clenched tightly into fists. Lin Weiwei took advantage of my wife’s trip back to her hometown to visit her parents’ graves and hired thugs to assault her. My wife fought back with all her strength, and the pregnancy ended in a miscarriage.
He had been away on a business trip that day. By the time he rushed back, his wife was lying in a hospital bed, her face pale and weak, tears streaming down her cheeks nonstop.
Seeing her like that, his heart ached so much it felt like it was breaking apart.
His wife cried out in anguish, saying he had wronged her.
If he hadn’t been seeing another woman behind her back, she would never have had to endure such suffering.
He was consumed by regret, rage, and heartache.
That child, the one he had hoped for over the years, was gone before it could even be born.
The pain he felt was no less than what his wife was going through.
All of this was Lin Weiwei’s fault.
She had killed his unborn child and destroyed his chance at a happy life.
Lin Weiwei had dragged both him and his wife into hell, and he swore he would never let her live in peace.
He installed listening devices and a tracker on Lin Weiwei’s phone.
He knew that her boyfriend from the countryside had been causing her trouble for a long time.
On the day Lin Weiwei was pinned to the ground and beaten by that boyfriend, Gu Huaiyuan arrived outside her rented apartment ahead of time.
When he saw her lying in a pool of blood, he slipped inside quietly.
Lin Weiwei heard the sound and opened her eyes weakly, begging him to save her.
But how could he ever save her?
She had killed his child, and now he wanted her dead.
Looking into her eyes, there was no trace of affection left—only a hatred that burned right down to his bones.
He pulled on a pair of gloves, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and clamped the other firmly around her neck.
She struggled wildly, and blood from her head smeared onto his clothes.
But no matter how hard she fought, she could not shake him off in the slightest.
Her limbs convulsed, and the light in her eyes slowly faded away.
Struggling, trembling, gasping for air.
Seconds turned into tens of seconds.
Before long, her body went completely limp, her arms and legs fell loose, and she stopped moving altogether.
After recounting how he had committed the murder, Gu Huaiyuan remained highly agitated and filled with resentment. Officer, tell me—didn’t that wicked woman deserve to die? She killed my child, so I killed her. It is only right that she pays with her life!
With bloodshot eyes, he lifted his head to stare at the ceiling, his expression hollow and grief-stricken. My child, Father has avenged you!
The interrogation came to an end.
As Gu Huaiyuan was led away by the officers, Lu Zheng returned to his office. He sank into the leather chair, his brows drawn together in deep thought.
Boss, the case is solved—why do you still look so troubled? Zhou Kai asked as he walked over.
The motive, witness statements, physical evidence, confession, and account of the crime all lined up perfectly.
On the surface, everything seemed to check out.
But Lu Zheng still felt that something was off.
Lin Weiwei endured things for two whole years and never once made a scene in front of his wife. Yet as soon as his wife became pregnant, she started sending dead rats, splashing red paint, and hiring thugs to assault her. Does that really make sense?
Zhou Kai nodded, seeing no problem with it. Lin Weiwei is selfish, vain, and malicious through and through. Look at how she destroyed Ji Chuan’s life—there’s no telling what she’s capable of.
Lu Zheng frowned even more deeply, lost in thought.
It was true that Lin Weiwei was selfish, vain, and malicious, but she had clawed her way up from the very bottom.
Through manipulating and controlling Ji Chuan, she had managed to study all the way from junior high to graduate school.
She was definitely practical, cold-hearted, and completely focused on her own interests.
Would she really cut all ties with Gu Huaiyuan’s wife and do something so damaging without any benefit to herself?
If she caused Gu Huaiyuan to lose his child, wouldn’t that also ruin her own future and prospects? Was she really foolish enough to go that far?
For the moment, Lu Zheng could not sort out his thoughts clearly.
Everyone has been working hard these past two days. You can all head home early and get some rest.
Just as the team was about to leave for the day, the head of the forensics department walked in, accompanied by a slender figure.
Captain Lu, Zhou Kai—you two have only just been transferred here, so you haven’t met our department’s specially commissioned sketch artist yet. Let me introduce you to Teacher Wen Qingli.
Lu Zheng lifted his gaze instinctively, looking past the department head to the slight, delicate figure standing behind him.
She wore a plain long dress, her long black hair falling loosely over her shoulders. Her skin was fair and luminous, and her features were gentle and soft.
She stood quietly behind the department head, like moonlight untouched by the dust of the world.
The moment their eyes met, it felt as if time and air had frozen completely.
When Wen Qingli had received Director Zhang’s call, she had assumed it was regarding some detail of an ongoing case.
She had not expected to be brought straight to the serious crimes division.
As she met Lu Zheng’s dark, deep-set gaze, her hands, which hung loosely at her sides, began to twist together involuntarily.
Her heart began to pound uncontrollably, beating faster and faster.
Wow! Dr. He wasn’t lying to me—this expert really is as young and beautiful as they say.
She looked so pure and gentle, yet she possessed such extraordinary skill.
Truly, one can never judge a book by its cover.
Zhou Kai broke into an honest smile and stepped forward to introduce himself, holding out his hand. Hello, Teacher Wen. I’m Zhou Kai.
Wen Qingli shook his hand briefly, the corners of her lips lifting into a soft smile. Hello, Officer Zhou.
Her voice was light and pleasant, like a gentle breeze brushing against one’s ear.
Zhou Kai felt a strange tingling run up his arm, and his ears turned red for no clear reason.
Teacher Wen was exactly the kind of woman he could only dream of.
While Lu Zheng went over to greet Wen Qingli, Zhou Kai leaned in to ask Director Zhang in a quiet voice. Director, is Teacher Wen still single?
Director Zhang glanced at Zhou Kai and immediately knew what he was thinking.
Yes, she is. Many of our male officers have tried to pursue her, but none have succeeded.
Zhou Kai scratched the back of his neck. Do you think I might stand a chance?
Director Zhang glanced over at Lu Zheng before answering. At the very least, you would need to look as good as your captain.
Zhou Kai fell silent.
That hit right where it hurt.
Everyone knew their captain was the most handsome man on the entire police force.
Lu Zheng took several quick strides until he was standing right in front of Wen Qingli, holding out his hand first. Teacher Wen, the case has progressed so quickly this time thanks to your accurate reconstruction of the victim’s appearance.
Wen Qingli looked at the long, firm hand stretched out toward her and gently placed her fingers against his.
It was a perfectly normal handshake, yet she felt as though a jolt of electricity passed between them.
It traveled from their fingertips straight into her heart.
She kept reminding herself not to look nervous in front of him, to stay calm and composed.
But hearing his praise, and feeling her hand enclosed within his warm, broad palm, her heart beat so fiercely it felt as though it might burst right out of her chest.
She lifted her gaze toward him, her long lashes fluttering softly. Today he was in full uniform, the sharp, tailored cut highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and lean, powerful frame. The silver insignia on his epaulets glinted with a cold shine, every button of his collar fastened neatly all the way to the top, and his utility belt secured firmly around his waist.
The look was both austere and imposing.
This was the first time she had seen him in uniform.
He looked not only handsome but radiated such intense masculinity, bringing out the full force of his mature, stern charm.
Deep inside, her thoughts were already drifting uncontrollably, but she worked hard to keep her expression calm and steady. You are too kind, Captain Lu. This is only part of my job.
Their gazes met briefly, then quickly pulled away.
No one looking at them would ever guess that they were actually a couple who had married in a hurry.
