After a whole day of running around, even a big guy like Su Qing was feeling a bit overwhelmed. It wasn't just the worry; it was mentally exhausting.

In a hotel room, Du Qiang and Li Zijun watched him, wrapped in a bath towel, sitting on a chair, talking animatedly.

"She's the girlfriend of a deceased classmate of mine. Actually, not really a girlfriend, just a classmate, not to that extent.

And today wasn't it his three-year anniversary? So we, some friends, went to pay our respects. Unexpectedly, we ran into her.

It turns out this girl has a rather headstrong personality. After parting from us, she had thoughts of suicide. Me, such a righteous person, awarded the bravery award by our police station. Can I just watch her jump into the river and not save her?

In a blink of an eye, I was in the water just like that, and then you all arrived later!"

After being pulled up, due to the weather, everyone didn't linger. They found a nearby hotel and booked two rooms. One was for Xu Yuezhen to rest, and the other was for Da Qiang, since he had a 4 AM train, and going home wasn't an option.

Faced with someone attempting suicide by jumping into the river, Li Zijun and Du Qiang, the two policemen, naturally couldn't ignore it. They counselled the girl next door for quite a while. Wang Xing and the others are still there.

Listening to his story, Li Zijun instinctively asked, "So, what else do you have to explain? How did you trade?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Qiang quickly coughed, interrupting her, "Ahem, Li Jie, wrong context. This isn't a prostitution bust."

Hearing this, Li Zijun was stunned for a moment and then laughed awkwardly, "Ahem, sorry, been catching too many prostitution cases lately, got used to it, occupational hazard, occupational hazard!"

Su Qing: ...

Lately, tempers are fiery. There are girls with long legs everywhere on the streets, so more men are getting agitated. They haven't had a major case but incidents like these have been increasing.

Every time she catches someone, both parties would come up with various excuses to deny it, claiming they are just friends; there are even those pretending to be a couple.

Some go as far as to concoct a touching love story, like sticking together despite late-stage cancer and living through tough family conditions.

What Su Qing described was hardly an issue, she subconsciously fell into the routine.

Until Du Qiang reminded her beside her, did she snap out of it.

"So are you saying you were advising her?" Li Zijun awkwardly shifted the topic.

Du Qiang also sighed, "Didn't expect Brother Su to understand psychological counseling, truly impressive, is this criminal psychology? A negotiation expert!"

In response, Su Qing quickly waved his hand, "I was just trying to enlighten her a bit, but it seems things should be fine now!"

If the sideline narration is anything to go by, this girl should have given up the idea of suicide, at least found some reason to continue living, but outsiders wouldn't know that.

"What psychological counseling! Have you ever seen a counselor who can guide someone into jumping into a river? In our line of work, this already counts as an incident," Li Zijun glared at them, this was aimed more at Du Qiang.

Because Old Zhao and her mentor hadn't given up trying to recruit Su Qing, if they knew he could do this, wouldn't they be even more set on it?

"No way, earlier I saw that girl, she seemed quite spirited, not at all like someone with suicidal thoughts," Du Qiang asked puzzledly.

Hearing this, Li Zijun frowned, veins popped on her forehead, raising her fist, "You want to spar?"

"No no, Li Jie is right! Brother Su, in the future, if you encounter this kind of situation, make sure you call the police first, 119 is fine too, don't act on your own!" Du Qiang quickly waved his hand.

Seeing this, Su Qing couldn't help but look at Du Qiang with disdain. At least he's a man too, why are you afraid of her? I'm afraid because of her position. You're neither her brother nor a policeman, what are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to have a go with her?

"Got it, don't worry, in the future, I'll find the police auntie when things happen!" Su Qing said helplessly.

But the next second, his chest was punched.

"What now, is this not okay either?"

"Nothing, just testing the feel, haven't hit you in quite some time."

Su Qing: ...

Beside them, Du Qiang watched the scene, his eyes twitching. Indeed, she's just like Li Jie, he couldn't stand up to provoking this ancestor either.

"Alright, I just came to check on you guys. This girl is still emotionally unstable, if you're friends, comfort her more. Also, last week you said you'd treat me to dinner at Celestial Sea Restaurant. I'm not busy these days, when are you treating?" Li Zijun reminded him, then shifted the topic to past plans.

"Uh... that day someone else was treating... I don't usually go to places like that!" Su Qing replied helplessly.

"Che, I saw your short video went viral, thought you were rich now. Alright, we'll be off, you go check on them too, call me if anything happens!"

"Okay!"

With that said, Li Zijun and Du Qiang left, as it wasn't anything major.

When Su Qing arrived next door, Wang Xing and the others were taking turns counseling her.

"This time was so dangerous, I mean, really, if Qingzi wasn't there and you had an accident, I feel like San'er would've haunted our dreams!"

"We're so young, what's there to be uptight about!"

"Exactly, look at us, counting San'er, we're four singles from one dorm, and we even have a simp, aren't we still living just fine?" Ding Qiang gestured towards Wang Xing.

Beside them, Qin Wei, the skinny guy, pushed up his glasses, "Precisely, our classmates don't fancy us, and those from the next class jump in too, fine then, we're not going to demean ourselves either."

Wang Xing: ...

"You guys are trying to persuade someone, but you don't have to bring me down."

Old A was feeling bitter inside. Clearly, he already had everything he could want, yet he still can't shake off the label of a simp.

Seeing him come in, Ding Qiang couldn't help but say, "Comrade Qingzi, say a few words."

Hearing this, Su Qing chuckled, "If you ask me, being blatantly negative isn't helpful; contemplating drastic measures in secret isn't right either. Instead of thinking you have no desire to live, look at the simp near you. He's living strong; what's stopping you?"

This move, this move is part of the Great Cause of Enlightenment. These few big men hardly know how to comfort people, especially when it's a woman involved, so they can only counterbalance with Old A's pain. After all, it's easier to bring others down than to elevate oneself.

"Damn it, I'm not, I'm not a simp!" Wang Xing raged helplessly.

"Oh, come on, aren't you?"

"Yeah, the fact that you're still alive feels like a miracle to me!"

The group made a ruckus in the room, and the atmosphere lightened up.

Watching them roast each other, Xu Yuezhen, sitting on the bed, couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, I won't have those thoughts again. You're right; it seems like I have many things left undone. He once said he wanted to be a teacher and do voluntary teaching. I'll fulfill his dreams for him."

Hearing this and seeing her calmness, everyone in the room felt relieved.

Su Qing stepped forward, sighed lightly, and said softly, "Living well is more important than anything. How many people want to live but don't have the chance.

I've read somewhere, which you may not know, that each person has at least one to five cells that become cancerous daily, and in the more than a thousand cancerous transformations every year, it's your body working hard to save you;

In the days leading to childbirth, a pregnant woman's blood clotting index can increase dozens of times, preparing for potential massive bleeding;

When you're injured or infected, white blood cells rush to the infection site to fight for you, striving to devour pathogens until they're exhausted;

Likewise, it's challenging to intentionally harm yourself using reckless means, like holding your breath, not blinking, or strangling yourself, because every action triggers your body's strong protective instincts, just like how you would tightly cling to me in a river, making it impossible to overpower instinct;

At this point, Su Qing paused, looked at the brightly lit Jiangcheng City outside the window, then smiled and continued:

"What I want to tell you is, you're not that alone. There are trillions of cells in your body moving forward with you. You're the universe they survive in, and the only person they desperately protect."

"Your body is given by your parents, who then let it protect you on their behalf."

"You're being loved wholeheartedly, and you deserve to treat yourself better!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuezhen felt an overwhelming flood of emotions in her heart, then crossed her arms. Perhaps she was never truly alone; at least the four people in front of her, who she'd known for less than 24 hours, treated her like a friend.

Even Wang Xing and the others were somewhat moved by these words. Everyone is moved by such powerful and warm words, which are enough to uplift the spirit.

"Th...thank you all." Xu Yuezhen looked at them, sincerely expressing her gratitude, especially when she looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine now, really this time."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Alright, let's go. Let the girl take a shower and have a good rest."

With that said, the group took their leave, and Xu Yuezhen saw them to the door. Since her clothes were all wet, she didn't step outside.

At the hotel entrance, a cool breeze swept through, causing Su Qing to shiver. Turning to Ding Qiang, he said, "Keep an eye on things. I won't be dropping you off tomorrow."

"Don't worry, it's fine. You should hurry back and change your clothes!"

"Okay!"

Shortly after, the three of them each hailed a cab and headed home.

At the East City Public Security Bureau, Lin Chengcai listened to his apprentice and Du Qiang's report and couldn't help but feel a bit astonished.

"This kid saved someone again?"

"That's right, although the girl did jump into the river, when we later saw her at the hotel, she was emotionally stable. Uncle Lin, does this have to do with psychology?" Du Qiang asked from the side.

"Not exactly forensic psychology, but it does relate to psychology a bit. To tell you the truth, I'm looking for an opportunity to test him further. If he performs well, I'll join with Old Zhao and a few others to report up the chain, hoping to recruit him as a special consultant. This kid is real talent."

"Special consultant?" Du Qiang's eyes widened in disbelief.

Every year, the police bureau hires special consultants from society, but these people have to have very strong capabilities, like legal advisors, psychological consultants, etc.

"Can't be helped, Little Li's been blocking, so I have to think of other ways. Although there's a time limit for consultants, as long as he gets in, then everything else can be worked out, can't it?"

Du Qiang actually admired Su Qing. A young man daring to face ruthless criminals shows courage. Unlocking Jiang Dabao's mouth when they couldn't shows ability. Spotting a wanted criminal at first sight shows observation skills, not to mention discovering and reporting drug use.

"That sounds good."

"By the way, make sure not to tell Little Li, got it?"

"Understood!"
