Chapter 61
I am waiting for him. When he returns, I want to protect him.In this chapter, we see how Jian Yao has been dealing with Bo Jinyan’s disappearance from her life – does what she’s doing surprise you? Fang Qing and Jian Yao have clearly been pillars of support for each other, and Luo Lang . . . has become part of friendship circle . . . dun dun dun.
Ding Mo has written a note to address some of the readers’ comments on the implausibility of Fu Ziyu and Han Yumeng’s actions leading to their deaths in earlier chapters. Do read it (it’s at the end of the chapter) and see if you agree with the perspective presented!

When did the criminal investigation team give the female criminal psychologist the mission of chasing down criminals?”
