Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Are You Her Boyfriend?_1
Bodies collectively missing from the morgue? A normal person definitely couldn’t pull that off. So, there must indeed be something fishy!
"Even if there’s something fishy, why come here late at night? This kind of place, even in broad daylight, is creepy. Coming here in the dead of night, you’ll scare someone to death," Qin Feng complained with exasperation.
"I’m a woman and I’m not scared; why would you, a grown man, be frightened?"
Just then, a commanding vehicle pulled up. The man who got out was genteel, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was a forensic expert from the Patrol Team named Jian Haiyang.
Jian Haiyang had just joined the Patrol Team, a seasoned expert from the Capital.
Though being transferred from the Capital to Zhonghai meant a promotion in rank, it was not very beneficial for his career.
Because the Capital is the power center of Dragon Country, and Zhonghai is merely a second-tier city with just a decent economy.
The reason Jian Haiyang actively requested a transfer to Zhonghai was for Song Sisi.
Although Jian Haiyang was also a grandson of the Jian Family, he was different from Jian Shichao; Jian Shichao was the eldest grandson of the main branch. Jian Haiyang, despite having worked hard since childhood and graduating from Oxford University with excellent grades and a doctoral degree, came from the second branch of the Jian Family.
Being grandsons all the same, the status of the main branch’s eldest grandson was worlds apart from that of the second branch’s grandson. Because, the position of Family Head of the Jian Family would only be passed down to the main branch, and then to the eldest grandson.
As for Jian Haiyang, as a grandson of the second branch, he was envied by Jian Shichao for his excellent grades from a young age, and was also bullied by him.
So, once Jian Shichao became the Jian Family Head, there’d be no good end for him.
Jian Haiyang couldn’t provoke Jian Shichao, nor did he want to compete with him, because even if he did, he couldn’t win.
Jian Haiyang had liked Song Sisi since childhood, so he gave up his opportunities in the Capital and voluntarily applied to come to Zhonghai.
If he couldn’t contend for the position of Family Head of the Jian Family, he might as well stay far away from the Capital and live his own life in Zhonghai.
Even if his career had no prospects, being able to win the woman of his dreams would mean a life free from regrets.
Song Sisi, though also a granddaughter of the Song Family, came from the fallen third branch.
The down-and-out grandson of the Jian Family’s second branch marrying the down-and-out granddaughter of the Song family’s third branch was considered a match of equal status, truly sympathizing with each other.
After coming to Zhonghai, Jian Haiyang asked Sisi out many times, wanting to take her to dinner, to the movies. But every time he asked her, Sisi directly refused.
Tonight, Jian Haiyang had already been resting. Hearing that the bodies had mysteriously disappeared from the morgue and that Sisi came here alone to investigate, he hurriedly followed.
Although the morgue was certainly no place for a date, he thought that once he arrived, he could at least be alone with Sisi. Plus, the place was terrifying— if Sisi became scared, wouldn’t she seek his embrace?
Jian Haiyang was the youngest deputy director of the top hospital in the Capital and was not a forensic expert. He took the forensic job in Zhonghai to have more interaction with Sisi.
Being a doctor at the hospital and being a forensic expert for the Patrol were completely different jobs.
Jian Haiyang was only interested in pursuing Sisi and did not enjoy the work of a forensic expert. He treated the living and was somewhat fearful of corpses. Since starting the job, he had never touched a body and had always been slacking off.
Coming to the morgue in the middle of the night, he was also panicked himself. So before coming, Jian Haiyang drank half a bottle of Moutai to fortify his courage.
As soon as he got out of the car, Jian Haiyang saw that there was a man beside Song Sisi, and he was a very unfamiliar one, definitely not from the Patrol Team.
So, his face immediately darkened as he pointed at Qin Feng’s nose and asked, "Who are you?"
Without waiting for Qin Feng’s response, Song Sisi directly intercepted the conversation and answered, "He’s my boyfriend!"
This reply shocked Qin Feng.
Because he had no idea what this woman was playing at.
In the past when helping Song Sisi and introducing him to her other colleagues from the Patrol Team, she would at most introduce him as her friend, right? How come this time, there was a "male" prefix added to the friend?
However, the clever Qin Feng figured it out instantly. It must be that the guy here was pursuing Song Sisi, so without any warning, she made him serve as her shield!
Jian Haiyang was taken aback.
But, he quickly recovered, convinced that Song Sisi said this to reject him.
So, with a sour expression, he glared at Qin Feng and asked, "Are you really her boyfriend?"
"Yes!" Qin Feng nodded, smiling as he replied, "I am her boyfriend."
"Ha-ha! I know you two are putting on an act; you couldn’t possibly be Song Sisi’s boyfriend. With that look of yours, and those street stall clothes, you’re obviously a small-town worker who’s come to the city for work, right? How could you be Song Sisi’s boyfriend?"
Having analyzed this, Jian Haiyang suddenly came to a realization.
"I get it now, Song Sisi must have been afraid to come to the mortuary alone, so she paid you to accompany her. Now I also recall a detail; when Song Sisi said you were her boyfriend, a fleeting look of surprise crossed your face. It’s because the act of impersonating her boyfriend wasn’t pre-arranged."
Since Jian Haiyang had figured it out, Qin Feng didn’t bother to keep up the pretense any longer.
"Your analysis is correct, I am not her boyfriend, we are merely friends. Tonight, Song Sisi asked me to help her out. I can see that you want to pursue Song Sisi. However, this place is the mortuary, not suitable for courting a woman."
Seeing Qin Feng admit it, Jian Haiyang felt smug.
He glared at Qin Feng and coldly said, "You are not needed here, get out at once!"
"I was asked here by Song Sisi, and if she doesn’t ask me to leave, naturally I won’t go. It’s you who should not obstruct official business here."
At this point, Qin Feng suddenly remembered something as he smelled the alcohol on Jian Haiyang’s breath, certain the man was absolutely drunk.
So, he cautioned, "Song Sisi is from the Patrol Team, and you’re driving drunk; be careful, or she might just cuff you. Although drunk driving won’t land you in jail, a few days of detention or revoking your driver’s license is still very much possible."
"Obstructing official business? You’re the one obstructing official business! An incident has occurred here, and our Patrol Team is working on the case. You non-essential personnel are not allowed inside; get out of here immediately!"
Song Sisi stepped forward and said, "Jian Haiyang, you’re staggeringly drunk; get back home immediately. Otherwise, I’ll write a report stating that as a member of the Patrol Team, you are breaking the law by driving under the influence!"
"What? You’re going to report me? Go ahead and do it! I want to see what kind of punishment you can dish out to me. Will it be a penalty of three glasses of liquor, or will I be ’punished’ with a week of paid leave?"
