The room door closed with a "bang," completely isolating Hou Wendong’s view.

Hou Wendong stood at the door, pricking up his ears, trying to hear what was being said inside.

However, the voices inside grew fainter and were completely inaudible.

Inside the ward, the atmosphere was equally heavy.

Feng Mu’s gaze swept over the densely packed pinholes in the wall, his face gloomy enough to drip water: "The madam was attacked? Who did it?"

Feng Mu’s murderous intent seemed to boil over, with an attitude suggesting that if he found the person, he’d swallow them whole, which made Li Hanyu feel increasingly warm.

Li Hanyu gestured for him to sit, her fingertip tapping lightly on the notebook:

"Someone impersonated you and came to the hospital, intending to..."

The cold light from the screen illuminated her eye sockets filled with gauze, as the video replayed the face identical to Feng Mu’s.

Feng Mu’s eyes widened immediately, and all the murderous intent in his body was frozen, he exclaimed in a panic:

"Madam, that’s not me, I..."

Feng Mu’s facial expression was authentic to the extreme, a blend of amazement and panic, each subtle expression precisely perfect, so seamless that there wasn’t a single flaw.

Such exquisite acting would make even a movie star bow in admiration.

No way around it.

While others act with flesh, his performance is bone-deep.

Li Hanyu lightly waved her hand:

"I naturally know that’s not you. The person impersonating you wants to frame you, and their malicious intent is truly appalling.

Fortunately, his luck was bad, failing in the end, otherwise..."

Saying this, Li Hanyu patted her chest with lingering fear.

Feng Mu calmed his nerves slightly and continued to check.

After watching the complete surveillance footage, he seemed bound by an immobilization spell, immersed in shock, and it took a long time to slowly regain his composure.

Feng Mu feigned sudden realization, saying:

"No wonder the security guard at the door scanned my face back and forth with a detector; it turns out someone impersonated me."

Immediately after, he fumed with rage, momentarily at a loss for words:

"This person wants to impersonate me to kill the madam and Prison Director Qian? He doesn’t just want to harm the madam, harm Prison Director Qian, he wants to harm me too. This person is truly wicked.

How can there be such insidious and malicious people in this world?"

Feng Mu clenched his fists, the veins on his temples bulging horribly against his ghastly pale complexion.

His twisted appearance of being ready to devour made Li Hanyu feel more secure than ever.

Feng Mu suddenly stood up, walked briskly to the fish tank, and when he saw the hole sealed shut on the tank, his face turned extremely sinister.

"Madam, who exactly is this person? Tell me, I’ll flay him alive..." Feng Mu said viciously.

Li Hanyu’s mind flashed with a suspicious face, but she was still uncertain and needed to maintain a pretense with that person.

"I can’t tell Feng Mu for now, otherwise he surely can’t hold back..." Li Hanyu thought.

A few thoughts spun in her mind, and then she sighed and said:

"The person escaped, but we will catch him sooner or later, don’t be anxious."

Feng Mu nodded reluctantly: "Yes, madam."

Seeing that she had soothed Feng Mu’s emotions, Li Hanyu changed the topic and asked:

"What about the heads of those two prison chiefs? Didn’t you plan to bring them back for me?"

Li Hanyu frowned at Feng Mu’s empty hands and asked:

"Did something go wrong?"

Feng Mu’s face turned extremely complex, his lips slightly parted, as if striving to organize his words, but it seemed like a thousand words were stuck in his throat, leaving him momentarily speechless.

His brows furrowed tightly, he reached into his pocket, took out a USB drive, and handed it to Li Hanyu.

Li Hanyu accepted the USB drive with suspicion, her gaze moving between the USB and Feng Mu.

Then, Feng Mu explained in a low voice:

"Madam, don’t be angry, I indeed intended to act, but as you said, there were some unexpected changes, so..."

Feng Mu paused slightly, feigning being inarticulate:

"However, those two prison chiefs are indeed dead, just not by my hand.

Someone acted before me, um... Madam might as well look at the USB in your hand, my subordinates recorded the whole process, the truth is all in there."

At present, Feng Mu had an excess of trust reserves with Li Hanyu, so upon hearing his words, she plugged in the USB and opened the folder inside.

The folder contained some picture and video files.

Upon closer inspection, the files were chronologically arranged from left to right.

Originally, Gong Qi intended to edit these materials into a complete and smooth video.

However, after much contemplation, he changed his mind.

He felt that an overly complete, flawless video might arouse suspicion, so it was better to break it apart and present it in a seemingly scattered yet subtly interconnected manner.

Li Hanyu lowered her eyes and opened the first photo. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Appropriately, Feng Mu leaned to the side, narrating, "Seeing the picture: Madam, you asked me to obtain evidence of Lou Duan colluding with those two prison chiefs. My subordinates secretly captured this photo from the opposite building, showing them in lively conversation."

In the photo, the three people smiled brightly, looking particularly glaring under the warm lights.

As for what they were laughing about, Feng Mu didn’t say, but Li Hanyu understood for herself.

In this special time and place, what could these three be laughing about?

Li Hanyu looked at the smiling faces in the photo and then at her son, bloody and mangled in the fish tank, her eyes filled with bloodshot lines.

Subsequently, Li Hanyu opened several more photos, all depicting scenes of the three engaged in intimate conversation without exception.

In the final photo, Lou Duan passed a note with a smile to the other two, who appeared eternally grateful.

However, the contents of the note weren’t captured, causing Li Hanyu to frown slightly.

She then clicked on a video.

The video was very short, only a dozen seconds, showing a computer desktop, with a chat window on it.

The window displayed the dialog between two people, which caused Li Hanyu’s pupils to contract sharply, and she exclaimed:

"What is this?"

Beside her, Feng Mu quickly explained:

"Madam, my fifth senior brother Gong Qi is quite skilled in computers. After seeing Lou Duan sending those two prison chiefs away, he immediately used a computer, finding it quite suspicious.

He quickly hacked into Lou Duan’s computer, capturing this chat window on his desktop.

From the content of the conversation, it should be Lou Duan instructing someone named [Clown] to go to the following location to kill those two prison chiefs."

Suddenly, the words "murder to silence" emerged in Li Hanyu’s mind.

Murder to silence?

Another instance of murder to silence!

She scoffed coldly. Just a moment ago, she had witnessed the wisdom of the detective up close, and now it seemed she had also been invisibly inspired, her mind lighting up with a sudden inspiration, exclaiming impulsively:

"Could the address on that note be this location?!!"
