There was no need for Zhang Feng to respond; the sound of footsteps in slippers could be heard.

Lin Rui walked out from another bedroom.

Rubbing her bleary eyes, she didn't look at Zhang Feng, but at Hu Huixin, who was making sarcastic remarks over tea, and with a slight smile, said:

"Ah yes, yes, you're right, you care about your brother."

After saying this, Lin Rui surprisingly didn't retort Hu Huixin, nor did she compete with her in front of Zhang Feng.

She turned around and walked into the bathroom.

This scene left Hu Huixin stunned on the spot.

It was like punching cotton with all her might.

The former Lin Rui would never have been like this!

Every time she'd do something in front of Zhang Feng, Lin Rui would surely compete with her!

She'd have to get the upper hand!

But today, what's going on?

Why did she just mock me a little and then leave?!

And that look in her eyes....

Is she no longer considering me a rival?!

What does this mean?!

Is Lin Rui about to... give up?!

Impossible!

How could Lin Rui give up?!

For a moment, Hu Huixin even started to lose confidence.

She didn't even bother with Zhang Feng; instead, she jogged to the bathroom door, pushed it open, and looked at Lin Rui in the mirror, asking:

"Lin Rui姐, are you feeling unwell today? Got a cold? Or did you eat something bad after drinking yesterday?"

"Why are you washing your feet so early in the morning?"

She thought Lin Rui might be physically unwell today, so she wasn't interested in competing with her!

Come on, when someone wants to compete with you, you're annoyed, and now when they don't, you feel something's off?

Seriously...

But how could she know that, in Lin Rui's heart, Lin Rui already felt far ahead of Hu Huixin.

So she didn't care about winning or losing this battle!

Zhang Feng just shrugged.

This was between them; he was just a mascot!

He only wanted to know who attacked him in D City that night!

He yawned, sat down by himself at the dining table, picked up a chive and egg dumpling, and stuffed it into his mouth in one bite.

Before long, Lin Rui and Hu Huixin sat down opposite each other on either side of the table.

Lin Rui seemed completely normal and natural, quietly eating her breakfast.

Meanwhile, Hu Huixin's eyes, full of curiosity, lingered on Lin Rui.

As if she wanted to see how long she could stare before figuring her out.

Little did she know, Lin Rui didn't care about Hu Huixin's intense gaze at all.

Her little white foot had already slipped out of her slipper.

Slowly extending it towards the side.

"Cough cough....." Suddenly, Zhang Feng, who was drinking soy milk, coughed twice.

Almost spitting food residues into his bowl.

Hu Huixin was startled and quickly looked for a napkin to hand to Zhang Feng, concerned:

"Brother Zhang Feng, are you okay? Choked? Eat slowly!"

"Is the breakfast I bought really tasty?"

While saying this, she even used the napkin to wipe Zhang Feng's mouth proactively.

However, while doing this kind of gesture and saying such words, Hu Huixin's beautiful eyes always stayed on Lin Rui.

It seemed like she really wanted to see if Lin Rui would really leave her alone.

Indeed.

Lin Rui apparently didn't care at all about Hu Huixin's challenging actions and voice.

She left it alone, continuing to eat her breakfast.

"Hiss——" Hu Huixin couldn't help but take a breath.

What's going on?

If it were before, she would've definitely slapped her hand away and grabbed the napkin herself to wipe Brother Zhang Feng's mouth.

What is going on today?!

Hu Huixin just couldn't figure it out!

What she didn't realize was that in Lin Rui's heart, she was thinking:

"You wipe his mouth with a napkin; what's that?"

"Anyway, I'm wiping his head with my foot now..."

Emm...

Zhang Feng also noticed it.

This Lin Rui really was getting bolder!

Zhang Feng couldn't help but exclaim wow!!

Especially after last night's events.

Now Lin Rui was getting more and more unrestrained!

Well, say it!

No wonder the first thing you did in the morning was wash your feet!

Turns out, she had already planned it out!

At this point, Zhang Feng was really gritting his teeth!

From last night till this morning, one woman, one female ghost.

These two were really causing trouble all the way!

It's really....

Luckily, Zhang Feng was about to recover thirty percent of his strength.

If this had been right after he crossed over.

There was no way he could withstand it!

Of course, the main culprit must be Ma Xiaotong.

After all, she's a ghost!

Besides, who did Lin Rui learn this from?

Zhang Feng wanted to push Lin Rui away, but... he couldn't make too big a movement!

Hu Huixin still didn't know anything.

If Hu Huixin saw this, given her competitive nature, she'd definitely jump in, try to get the upper hand, and fight to beat Lin Rui!

Then, he wouldn't just pass out; he'd have a rough time!

So for now, all he could do was....

"If the heart is clear, the sky will not be surprised. Remain calm amid change, maintain serenity. Avoid the dust, remain untainted. Emptiness is peaceful, devoid of substance....."

These teachings from the founder, when needed, must be used!

And they were highly effective!

No wonder people said Zhang Feng was powerful!

Wouldn't you know it, a hint of surprise appeared in Lin Rui's eyes as she looked at Zhang Feng, her pupils twinkling.

Thinking inwardly, "Impossible, I've checked online.... how is he keeping his composure?! Is Zhang Feng really that good? Masterful control?!"

"Could it be me... too rusty?"

"Emm... seems I need to learn more from the videos."

If she just left it at that.

But who would've thought she'd stealthily give Hu Huixin a sidelong glance, as if saying:

"What's this vixen doing up so early? If she weren't around, I'd have ducked under the table!"

The heck....

Who's the real vixen here!

Thankfully, Shen Xing'Er wasn't up yet; otherwise, who knows what more dreadful things might happen?

Even though Shen Xing'Er was still asleep.

However, Shen Xing'Er's real father, Shen Hanshan, hadn't slept for two days.

At this moment, he had no idea what kind of torment Zhang Feng was experiencing.

All he knew was that Zhang Feng was tormenting him now.

In the office, Shen Hanshan, with dark circles under his eyes, held various documents, examining them carefully.

In front of him was the man in black from before, his face also showing fatigue and listening to Shen Hanshan's hoarse voice:

"Is this all the investigation results on Zhang Feng?"

The man in black nodded seriously and said:

"Yes, Director!"

Shen Hanshan didn't look up and continued asking:

"What are your thoughts?"

The man in black thought for a moment and said:

"Forensic Doctor Zhang seems to have had an ordinary life from childhood up until his college graduation; nothing remarkable."

"And everything changed on his first day at the criminal investigation department in B City!"

"After that day, Forensic Doctor Zhang...."

Stopping here, the man in black showed a strange expression and continued:

"Just like you said, after that day, Forensic Doctor Zhang became quite mysterious..."
