"All right. You rest well, take care of yourself, and fulfill your responsibilities." Qin Si Yue finished speaking and turned to walk out of the room.
As soon as the door opened, Han Hao Ming, who had been leaning against the wall, walked up to her and asked, "Director Qin, how is it? Did he say anything?"
"Yes. He said everything," Qin Si Yue replied, her expression grave as she glanced at him, not quite having recovered from the previous situation.
She lowered her head, took out her phone, and sent the audio file.
Han Hao Ming's tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly. "Thank you, Director Qin, for your help."
Qin Si Yue had intended to say, "You're welcome, it's just a small favor." Suddenly, her beautiful eyes flickered. "If you really want to thank me, why don't you treat me to lunch?"
The man in front of her frowned slightly, not expecting her to make such a request. After a brief hesitation, he replied, "Okay. I'll go back to the bureau first, and I'll contact you later."
After Qin Si Yue turned and walked away, Zou He, standing behind Han Hao Ming, said meaningfully, "Captain Han, Director Qin is really quite something. Not only is she beautiful and capable at her job, but she's also very kind-hearted."
Hearing this, Han Hao Ming's heart skipped a beat. He felt as though he had heard this sentence somewhere before.
Immediately, he turned and looked at Zou He with a serious expression. "You continue to watch Li Qiang here. I'm going back to the bureau."
At noon, Han Hao Ming specifically invited Qin Si Yue to a Western restaurant opposite the hospital for lunch.
When Qin Si Yue arrived, dressed in a pale yellow embroidered long dress, Han Hao Ming was already waiting there.
Seeing her smile and walk gracefully towards him, Han Hao Ming immediately stood up, a light flashing in his eyes that had never been seen before.
"Director Qin, please have a seat." He extended his right hand, inviting her to sit opposite him.
Qin Si Yue's eyes curved into a smile as she looked at him. "Have you been waiting long?"
"No. I just arrived," Han Hao Ming replied, a rare smile gracing his lips.
Qin Si Yue was so captivated by his smile that she was momentarily stunned. So, this man could smile, and he looked so good when he did.
Seeing her gaze fixed on him, Han Hao Ming felt a hint of awkwardness. "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
"No," Qin Si Yue quickly withdrew her gaze, her cheeks flushing slightly. She lowered her head and said, "It's the first time I've seen you smile, so I was a little taken aback."
Han Hao Ming paused slightly. "Perhaps it's because of my profession. I don't smile much, so please don't be offended."
"Of course not. Being a police officer is a serious job. But in daily life, smiling more can also help relieve worries," Qin Si Yue said seriously, a pair of cute dimples appearing on her cheeks.
Seeing this, Han Hao Ming seemed to be infected by her demeanor, and a hint of a smile reappeared on his face. "Director Qin is right."
After they ordered their food, they began to discuss Li Qiang's situation.
"Officer Han, will Li Qiang be sentenced?" Qin Si Yue asked with curiosity.
Han Hao Ming pondered for a moment and replied, "The situation described by Li Qiang in the recording basically matches our on-site investigation. He shouldn't be sentenced, but he did have some fault and will have to provide civil compensation to the victim's family."
Hearing this, Qin Si Yue couldn't help but sigh. "Such a good family, broken like this. It's heartbreaking to think about, especially the child who was just one year old, sleeping soundly, leaving this world without knowing anything."
"Yes. When we arrived at the scene, we were incredibly shocked. Many people shed tears," Han Hao Ming said, his eyes instantly dimming as he mentioned it.
Qin Si Yue looked up and slowly said, "Why can't couples communicate properly when they encounter problems, but instead have to argue with each other, and even resort to such extreme measures to prove their innocence? Don't they know how precious life is?"
They, as doctors, worked tirelessly every day to bring people back from the brink of death, racing against time and fighting death. She truly couldn't understand what people who committed suicide were thinking.
Han Hao Ming was startled, his gaze fixed on her. "Perhaps at that moment, they had already cast aside the preciousness of life, and all they thought about was proving their innocence."
