Chapter 788 - 788: Identifying the Culprit

After mocking Zhao Guo'an, Xiao Feng called out for Lone Wolf and left the ward.

At this moment, it was time to foster relationships, and although he usually messed with Zhao Guo'an, he wouldn't choose this critical moment to trouble him.

"I'm going to the restroom. You stay here and keep watch," Xiao Feng instructed.

Lone Wolf nodded: "Okay."

On his way to the restroom, Xiao Feng couldn't help but wonder who had stabbed Zhao Guo'an from behind.

Moreover, although Zhao Guo'an claimed not to know the attacker, his emotions seemed a bit off; he must have something he hasn't said.

He relieved himself.

Xiao Feng came out of the stall and washed his hands in front of the sink.

Just as he turned on the faucet, someone walked up next to him.

Xiao Feng didn't pay much attention; after all, it was a common occurrence.

But just as he was about to leave, he caught sight of a familiar face in the mirror beside him.

Although the person's head was lowered as they washed their face.

"Nie Longjiao?" Xiao Feng tentatively asked.

The person next to him trembled slightly, wiped the water off their face, and then looked up.

Indeed, it was the orphanage director Nie Longjiao, whom he'd seen three times in one day.

Of course, this time it was purely coincidental, unlike the deliberate encounters before.

"Are you following me?!" Nie Longjiao glared at Xiao Feng in anger after a brief shock.

"Don't be so self-absorbed, okay?" Xiao Feng calmly replied, "What good would it do me to follow you?"

Saying this made him feel inexplicably relieved.

The phrase "self-absorbed" was finally said back to her!

"If you're not following me, then why are you here?" Nie Longjiao suspiciously asked.

"A friend got hurt, so I came to visit. What about you?"

"I mentioned before that there's a little girl at the orphanage with leukemia, so I came to check on her situation."

"Still can't raise enough for the 300,000 surgery fees?"

Nie Longjiao gave a bitter smile and shook her head: "It's no longer just about the 300,000 surgery fees; now it's about finding a suitable bone marrow.

The hospital said they'll try their best to find one, but even if they do, people may not be willing to donate."

"That's really quite troublesome," Xiao Feng empathically nodded, "I gotta go now."

With that, he turned and left.

"Hey, wait a second," Nie Longjiao quickly called out to stop him.

She'd been struggling all day with whether or not to ask Xiao Feng to pretend to be her boyfriend to deal with her parents, and she needed to make a decision.

Xiao Feng paused: "What's up?"

Nie Longjiao clenched her fists, as if making a major decision, and said, "I'll pay you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a day, how about that?"

"Pay me to be your boyfriend?" Xiao Feng said, intrigued, "How much are you offering?"

"100, just for a day, well... not even a full day."

"100?" Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, "Are you treating me like a beggar?"

Nie Longjiao frowned: "If that's too little, then 200."

"Haha."

"300, and that's my limit!" Nie Longjiao said firmly.

Xiao Feng held back a laugh and asked, "For you to be so extravagant, what's going on?"

"My parents keep pressuring me to go on blind dates," Nie Longjiao said with a headache, "I got angry and told them I already have a boyfriend.

Now they insist on meeting him, but I don't actually have a boyfriend, so I have to hire a fake one to cover it up."

"When do you want to start pretending?"

"Are you agreeing?"

"Yeah."

Nie Longjiao said: "Tomorrow at 2 p.m., we'll meet at the train station. I checked, there's a return train at 7 p.m., so we'll buy return tickets in advance."

"Sure," Xiao Feng agreed, then added, "But there's a problem."

"What problem?"

"Who's paying for the train tickets?"

"..." Nie Longjiao.

She suddenly felt like she might have found the wrong person.

She told her parents her boyfriend was a "wealthy diamond bachelor," but this guy clearly didn't fit the bill.

Thinking of this, Nie Longjiao gritted her teeth and said, "I'll cover the travel costs, but I have to remind you, I told my parents my boyfriend is rich.

No matter how you are normally, when we meet, you must act more generously."

However, Nie Longjiao didn't know that less than twenty hours later, she would regret saying this...

After making arrangements, they went their separate ways.

As Xiao Feng stepped into the hallway, he saw Zhen Jinghan coming out of the ward.

"This matter seems to be related to me," Zhen Jinghan said seriously.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Let's go inside first," Zhen Jinghan gestured for Xiao Feng and Lone Wolf to enter the ward.

Zhao Guo'an then recounted the whole incident of how he was attacked.

After listening, Xiao Feng thoughtfully said: "If that's the case, it indeed seems related to your wife... Hanhan, quite an intimate nickname."

It wasn't meant to stir trouble, but that's just how it was.

Generally, such nicknames are used by parents for their children or between lovers; ordinary relationships wouldn't use such names.

"Sister-in-law, think carefully, has anyone called you that?" Xiao Feng asked.

Zhen Jinghan pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Guo'an: "Only you have called me that."

"Pfft!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh, looking at Zhao Guo'an in surprise: "Old Zhao, who would've thought that behind your serious facade, you're such a romantic."

"What's wrong with couples having special nicknames?" Zhao Guo'an shouted angrily.

Xiao Feng shifted back to the main topic: "Calm down, calm down, describe the appearance of the person who stabbed you in detail again."

"Not tall, wearing a military coat, severely bald, rough skin, heavy dark circles, and had a hoarse voice," Zhao Guo'an described with a dark face.

Xiao Feng looked at Zhen Jinghan: "Can you roughly guess who it is?"

Zhen Jinghan shook her head: "There's no one who matches those features."

Just then, Lone Wolf, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Wasn't there a dashcam in the car?"

"That's right!" Xiao Feng's eyes lit up: "Based on what you said, if there was a dashcam, it would surely capture what that person looked like."

He turned and patted Lone Wolf on the shoulder: "Not bad, even the fool hits the mark sometimes, you're getting it."

"Hehe!" Lone Wolf scratched his head shyly, showing a simple smile.

Zhao Guo'an took out his phone and started retrieving the dashcam footage. He quickly found the recording from before the incident and paused it, showing: "That's him!"

Xiao Feng and Lone Wolf immediately looked at Zhen Jinghan, hoping she could recognize the man in the footage.

But to their disappointment, she didn't immediately recognize him and instead took the phone, frowning, struggling to identify the person.

The ward fell silent, everyone waiting to see if Zhen Jinghan could recognize the man on the screen.
