Ten days later, Qiao Han’s stitches were removed from her abdomen and she was discharged home to recuperate.

During the recuperation at home, Lin Manqiu and Leng Feng instructed the kitchen to make nourishing food for Qiao Han every day. After more than a month, not only did she regain her ruddy complexion, but also her body had also fleshed out a bit. Her figure wrapped in cheongsam was even more shapely than before.

Leng Feng sent his men to turn Songxi City upside down, and after using all the forces, he finally found some clues – Mu Dan, who had vanished after the banquet, had been employed by Li Ying’s family.

Following this clue, Leng Feng sent his spies to investigate secretly, and asked the boatmen at the port and the wharf, and finally got the news that Mu Dan had escaped by water the day after the banquet.

Leng Feng’s men tracked Mu Dan down to a county town more than a thousand miles away and captured her, and then pried open her mouth – she was the one who shot Qiao Han that night at the banquet, and the other two gunmen were her accomplices, but with different roles, and the instigators behind them was Li Ying, the daughter of the Li family who did tobacco business.

As Leng Feng guessed, killing several other guests at the banquet was just their cover-up, and their real target was Qiao Han.

The gunman who was originally detained by Leng Feng refused to explain the motive for the crime, but when he saw his accomplice Mu Dan caught in front of him, he had to relent.

Mu Dan also explained that the reason why she did not kill Qiao Han directly was because Li Ying told her that she wanted to let Qiao Han live partially paralyzed, but Qiao Han was lucky that the bullet did not cause her to be paralyzed, and only suffered from a normal gunshot wound.

After asking all the questions, Leng Feng slowly walked out of the interrogation room of the military dungeon with a cold expression.

He must return the favour in his own way!

A few days later, Leng Feng received a secret message that a group of mountain bandits smuggling arms had entered Songxi City borders, and he must lead his troops to intercept and capture those mountain bandits.

“Ye Lihai gave me all the rest of the goods today.”

After dinner that day, Leng Feng and Qiao Han were on the balcony outside the bedroom, and Leng Feng suddenly said.

The weather in early autumn was very comfortable, neither cold nor hot, and even the wind was soft.

“Really?” Qiao Han was delighted, “I said that he was very good. There must have been some misunderstanding before he did that! It should be all right now!”

Leng Feng heard Qiao Han say that Ye Lihai was very good, and his face immediately fell. Feigning seriousness, he hugged her and asked, “He is good, so what about me?”

“So are you.” Qiao Han looked ‘of course’.

Otherwise she wouldn’t have married him.

Leng Feng was not satisfied with this answer, so he hugged her tighter and continued to ask seriously, “Who is better?”

Qiao Han pursed her lips and smiled, “You are better.”

“…” Leng Feng pondered about the authenticity of her answer for a while. Seeing that he was silent, Qiao Han took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and acted coquettishly, “Don’t always compare yourself to him. I only regard him as a big brother and a friend, and there are absolutely no other feelings. You are the only one in my heart!”

Maybe she was too protective of Ye Lihai before, which made him feel uneasy, but in fact, she really just wanted him and her good friend to get along peacefully.

“Really?” Although Leng Feng asked this question, the corners of his mouth had curled up quietly.

“Really!” Qiao Han said as she stood on tiptoe and placed a kiss on his face.

Leng Feng liked her coquettishness the most, and with the sincerity in her words, he no longer had any doubts. He stroked her head, put on a serious expression and said, “Tomorrow I will take some people to arrest a group of bandits. I might not be back for three or four days.”

For the first time after marriage, when Leng Feng said that the task would take several days, Qiao Han was a little worried, and also a little reluctant, “Then you must be careful, where are you going to catch the bandits? “

“On the outskirts of our city.” Leng Feng had his back on the stone railing of the balcony, and his tone was relaxed and fearless, “It’s just a few bandits, it will be resolved soon, don’t worry.”

“…Hmm.” Qiao Han nodded obediently.

She suddenly remembered that Leng Feng was a well-trained Major General with outstanding military achievements. She had never seen a big scene before. It was indeed a piece of cake for him to catch a few mountain bandits.

The starry night sky was bright, and under the clear moonlight, he leaned over and whispered in her ear…
