    Chapter 184: K Likes to Smoke Cigars? Celebrating Sister Yao Wu’s Joining the Organization!

    Likes to smoke cigars?

    This trait made Lin Tian and Huang Qiang exchange a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken confusion and helplessness.

    How could such a detail, just the fact that he liked to smoke cigars, help them identify the head of the drug trafficking organization—K?

    After a moment of serious thought, Lin Tian, seeing that Fang Yuwei’s emotions seemed relatively stable, gently and calmly asked, “Yuwei.”

    “With just this piece of information, it’s difficult for us to track down the boss or fulfill your current wish.”

    “Could you recall more specific details about what happened at the time?”

    Upon hearing this, Fang Yuwei gently bit her pale lower lip, obviously trying to recall the specifics of that time, and continued with her account.

    “It was about half a year after I was diagnosed with this rare form of leukemia.”

    “At that time, I didn’t have enough money for treatment, and I fainted at home several times. The doctors even said I wouldn’t last much longer.”

    “Actually, back then, not only was it hard to get treated, it felt like even eating was a problem. One time, my brother said he was going to find money for my treatment, and he went out for an entire day and night, not returning.”

    “I was really worried about him, couldn’t sleep all night.”

    “But… when he came back, he was suddenly very excited and told me that he had met a real benefactor and found a new job.”

    “In my brother’s words, this benefactor was actually the leader of the drug trafficking organization, a small shareholder of Guangming Hospital, who could arrange for me to receive the best treatment at the hospital.”

    “Then, the treatment costs would be deducted from his advanced salary, but my brother would have to go abroad to work for two years before he could return.”

    At this moment, Huang Qiang, who had also been sitting in the corner, suddenly seemed to recall something. He squinted his eyes and said in a somewhat pointed tone, “I remember now.”

    “That explosion incident at the nursing home in Taicang City five years ago, we had seriously suspected that the two siblings were the real culprits behind it.”

    “From various angles, they actually had the motive to commit the crime, and even the ability to do so, because their parents were involved in demolition work.”

    “But no matter how we investigated, we found that both she and her brother had undeniable alibis that proved their innocence.”

    “She was living in the hospital and was too weak to have committed such a crime.”

    “And her brother, the one known as Bomber, was working in the United States at that time, and he didn’t return to the country during the incident. Even abroad, he had a flawless alibi.”

    “Because of this, we initially suspected them, but after a thorough investigation, we abandoned that theory.”

    “With such solid alibis, even I felt that he couldn’t possibly be the killer. My memory is a bit fuzzy on this, and I never imagined it would actually be her brother who did it.”

    “That so-called overseas job was actually K helping Bomber create an alibi, which prevented us from investigating further. As a result, the case became a real unsolved mystery.”

    “After all, at that time, we hadn’t dug up so much information about the drug trafficking organization. We didn’t even know they had so many accomplices capable of covering things up to that extent.”

    Huang Qiang sighed with regret, a sense of helplessness deep within. The primary suspects at the time had been Bomber, yet the truth only came to light now.

    But this was only because they had the “god’s perspective” now. Back then, with such a lack of information, and with Bomber’s impeccable alibi, it had been incredibly difficult to suspect him. Without sufficient evidence, there was nothing they could do to prove guilt.

    Pushing down his complicated emotions, Huang Qiang shook his head with a helpless smile and gestured, “Go on.”

    “That case is already closed, and it doesn’t have much to do with you now.”

    Fang Yuwei nodded gently, and then continued with her recollection.

    “That day when my brother came to Guangming Hospital with me.”

    “From the beginning, Director Li was waiting for us in the hospital lobby, without any hesitation or delay. He immediately took us to the most expensive VIP room.”

    “We stayed in the room for quite a while, and then my brother’s boss walked in.”

    “I still remember clearly, that person’s clothes, pants, and shoes were all pure black without a hint of other colors. He wasn’t very tall, probably in his thirties.”

    “But… but his gaze was terrifying, with an indescribable coldness and calmness. I was too scared to look directly at him, and I even lowered my head in fear.”

    “My brother saw my reaction and quickly told me to call him ‘Uncle Jiang,’ saying that he was the benefactor who saved my life and helped me get into the hospital, and would be his boss from then on.”

    “After hearing this, I instinctively called him ‘Brother Jiang.’ I intended to change it to ‘Uncle Jiang,’ but before I could say anything, he rubbed my head.”

    “He said… ‘No need to change it, from now on, just call me brother.'”

    “I didn’t expect someone with such a terrifying gaze to speak so gently, so I observed him a little more.”

    “And then I noticed that he seemed to really like smoking cigars. But the way he held the cigar was a bit funny, his fingers were round like sausages, not the slender type you’d expect.”

    “Uncle Jiang stayed for a little while, then left the room to give instructions to Director Li.”

    “After that, I never saw him again.”

    “As for how I found out my brother joined this drug trafficking organization, it was actually after he returned from working abroad for two years. He seemed a little different.”

    “He was spending money extravagantly, and even Director Li seemed to be afraid of him. Later, I secretly looked at his phone, which he never allowed me to touch, and found out about his involvement in the drug trafficking organization.”

    “And they were even celebrating… someone called ‘Sister Yao Wu’ joining the organization. But I was really scared, so I didn’t dare look further.”

    “That’s all the information and details I know for now.”

    At this point, Lin Tian habitually sniffed his fingers, which smelled of tobacco, nodded, and asked, “Is that all?”

    “Yuwei, are there any other details you’ve forgotten?”

    Fang Yuwei gently shook her head, indicating that she had shared all the information she knew.

    After a few seconds of silence, Lin Tian gave Huang Qiang a slight nod, and they both stood up and walked to the door of the room.

    “Dr. Lan, Huang and I will step outside to discuss this.”

    “You stay here and try to take care of Yuwei.”

    With that, Lin Tian and Huang Qiang left the mediation room.

    Dr. Lan then turned to Fang Yuwei, adjusting her glasses, and asked gently, “How are you feeling, Yuwei?”

    “Are you still cold? Is there anywhere else you’re uncomfortable? If you feel like crying, just let it out.”

    Upon hearing this, Fang Yuwei froze for a moment, then forced a smile and shook her head.

    “No… it’s okay, sister.”

    “I don’t feel… I don’t feel uncomfortable anymore. After hearing the news, I actually feel… feel a bit… calm… calm down a little…”

    Lan Jing clearly saw that Fang Yuwei’s lips had begun to slightly curl downward, her nose and eyes quickly reddening, and tears instantly filling her eyes.

    Calm?

    How could she remain calm after hearing such news?

    Perhaps her heart was already filled with sadness and pain, with no remaining space left.

    The earlier composure was merely the facade of a girl who understood that she would no longer have anyone to rely on, forced to act strong and composed.

    Lan Jing silently sighed in her heart, turning and pulling the frail Fang Yuwei into her arms. She didn’t say anything more, just gently stroked her head.

    When someone is sad, maybe they can be strong, really strong.

    But once someone else shows care, all the pain, grievances, and sorrow will come rushing out like a flood that has broken through a dam.

    At that moment, there was no need for more words. Fang Yuwei’s emotions completely broke, and the sound of her heart-wrenching sobs and her choked words echoed throughout the mediation room.

    “Sniff… sniff…”

    “Sis… sis, I… I… my heart hurts so much… so much. I no longer have… I’ll never have… the brother who loved me the most again…”
