"Not hard at all, your colleague really helped us a lot, we should be the ones saying thank you."

"Helping each other is just a small matter, no need to make a big deal out of it."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ma Wenliang and Chen Fangjin escorted Lin Yi and the other two to the door and watched them drive away.

"Brother Liang, this journalist named Lin Yi, was he one of us before? Detective fiction enthusiasts don’t usually have such skills," Chen Fangjin said.

"Also, he has a certain aura that’s definitely special."

"What kind of aura? A very handsome one? Haha..."

"Oh, stop talking nonsense," Chen Fangjin said.

"Did you notice how he inadvertently took over our interrogation, just like our leader? Ordinary people don’t have such a strong presence."

Ma Wenliang nodded and said, "I noticed that too, and he also knows people with profiling skills. Not just anybody has those kinds of connections. He’s definitely not simple, but if he doesn’t want to talk about it, there’s no need for us to pry. We can find a chance to thank him later."

"You’re right."

The three of them drove towards the TV station, Zhou Li and Ma Jun were unusually excited, "Lin Yi, you’re amazing, actually helping the police solve a case. So impressive!"

"I was just talking randomly, just happened to get lucky, like a blind cat bumping into a dead rat. Maybe it wouldn’t work with other cases."

"Whether it’s a blind cat bumping into a dead rat or not, helping the police solve a case is incredible in itself."

"Stay calm, these are just basic operations, don’t admire blindly."

"Originally, your Sister Li couldn’t even keep her legs together when she saw you. Now she probably won’t be able to sleep all night," Ma Jun laughed heartily and said.

"You’re just jealous," Zhou Li wasn’t angry, they laughed and teased each other.

Soon the three of them returned to the television station and reported today’s developments to Feng Chengrong, praising Lin Yi’s heroic performance, prompting rounds of cheers and applause from colleagues around.

"Follow up well on this case. If things continue this way, we might really find the child, and the ratings will rise too."

"With Lin Yi here, this case is definitely not a problem. Just watch, we’ll definitely boost the ratings for you."

"Having that confidence is good."

"Brother Rong, what’s the current rating?"

"It’s at 1.29 now, our show is now well-known at the station, Director Sun even talked to me, praised our team a lot, can’t say for other things, but the bonuses for this year will definitely be more than previous years. Let’s all work hard."

"Alright."

Lin Yi calculated that at this momentum, breaking past a rating of 2 was just around the corner.

After a busy day, with Feng Chengrong’s tacit approval, Lin Yi clocked out early and went to pick up Li Chuhan after work.

Lin Yi parked the car at the hospital entrance and waited for Li Chuhan to come out.

At this moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang, it was a call from Ning Che.

"What happened that you need Yuluo’s help to solve a case?"

"A child is missing, we want to use her profiling ability to find the suspect."

Lin Yi leisurely leaned back in his chair and said, "I heard the travel agency is very busy, how come you two have time to go shopping?"

"We were busy before, just got a chance to relax over the past two days," Ning Che said.

"Get ready, action might start soon."

"Hmm? Is it a mission on the island or an international investigation?"

"It’s about the second half of the Sheepskin Scroll. I heard some organization found it, but not sure if the information is true. Now everyone worldwide is inquiring about it. Once we have concrete leads, we’ll have to take action."

"They found the second half so quickly?"

"I didn’t expect it either. Comfortable days are over," Ning Che said.

"And the second half might contain key information about the Growth Potion. People worldwide will go crazy for it. It’s going to be a tough battle."

"Stay calm, adjust your mindset. We’re just workers, not worth risking our lives for this little money."

Ning Che laughed heartily, "I knew no one could beat you when it comes to mindset."

After discussing the serious matters, the two of them chatted a bit more before Lin Yi hung up the phone, as he saw Li Chuhan coming out of the hospital with her bag.

Li Chuhan was dressed in the typical everyday office attire.

Gray three-quarter length pants paired with flat shoes, a light blue shirt tucked into the pants on the upper half.

The pants fit well, the ratio of her hips to waist was almost perfect.

Seeing Lin Yi’s car, Li Chuhan quickened her pace, opened the car door, and got into the passenger seat.

"Haven’t seen you for a few days, how come you have dark circles?"

"The hospital’s been crazy busy these days, haven’t had a good night’s sleep for several nights."

"I’ll cook tonight, to reward you."

"It’s fine, I’m okay. You’re also tired from work, I’ll cook instead."

"It’s no big deal for me, but if our Director Li were to get exhausted, there’d be no one to save lives."

"It’s not as impressive as you say, I’m just doing my job."

"Being too humble isn’t good either, sometimes you need to show off."

Lin Yi gently touched Li Chuhan’s small face, then took her to the supermarket, bought some simple groceries, and went home.

At home, Lin Yi put on an apron and went into the kitchen to get busy.

In less than an hour, he had made four dishes and a soup.

Li Chuhan wasn’t much of a talker, but she demonstrated her approval of the meal with actions, eating a full bowl of rice.

Lin Yi realized something interesting.

Having known her for so long, it seemed she never made an effort for body management, nor was she picky with food, yet she maintained a great figure.

This was an advantage that other women didn’t seem to have.

After the meal, Lin Yi also washed the dishes, leaving nothing for Li Chuhan to do.

After dinner, the two watched some television, then rearranged the cushions on the sofa.

Li Chuhan was too tired and fell asleep first. Lin Yi quietly left, giving her a peck on the cheek before he left.

...

The next morning, when Lin Yi arrived at the office, Zhou Li called him over.

"The police station called, they’ve found vehicle information and the license plate number. It feels like we’re getting closer to solving the case."

"What’s the license plate number?"

"It’s here."

Zhou Li handed over her phone, displaying a photo that looked like a video screenshot, probably taken casually by someone shopping that day.

"If it’s not a fake license plate, this place is over a thousand kilometers from us, which fits the criminal logic."

"Should we go there?" Zhou Li asked.

"Not for now, there isn’t enough information to warrant filming. Let’s wait a bit, we might get more news soon."
