"Please come in."

As Bai Xinghu’s voice fell, Chen Xiao pushed the door open and entered.

Upon seeing Chen Xiao, Bai Xinghu’s face displayed a hint of confusion.

"Are you a patient? I don’t think I have any appointments today."

The young nurse quickly interjected, "Dr. Bai, this is Advisor Chen from the police detective unit."

Bai Xinghu’s expression turned to realization, "Oh, it’s you, Advisor Chen. Please come in... please come in!"

Bai Xinghu suddenly became enthusiastic, and Chen Xiao nodded with a smile, accepting the tea handed over by the other party.

After sitting down, Bai Xinghu puzzledly asked, "Advisor Chen, you’re a detective consultant, I can’t imagine what could bring you to see me."

"Do you remember Jiao Yan?"

"Jiao Yan?" Bai Xinghu mumbled to himself, and without waiting for him to recall, Chen Xiao took out a photo from the bag and placed it in front of him.

He glanced at it and responded, "Looks familiar, but probably not a recent patient; otherwise, I’d remember instantly."

"A patient sent here five years ago due to a car accident, had a fracture in the right elbow, do you recall?"

Chen Xiao reminded again.

Bai Xinghu thought hard for a moment before replying, "I remember, she was with President Qiao’s son from Shenghuang Textile, right?"

"Yes."

"Then I remember completely, but it’s been many years, hasn’t it? If I wasn’t familiar with President Qiao, it would be difficult to recall."

"It’s indeed been a long time. I’ve come to ask why Jiao Yan was discharged without being cured."

Bai Xinghu pondered again, but this time didn’t think for long.

"If I remember correctly, it was because she was scared."

Bai Xinghu’s words made Chen Xiao frown slightly, but Bai Xinghu quickly explained:

"Although I’ve learned a lot academically, my ancestors have been specializing in orthopedic treatment for generations. I often use traditional methods for treating patients."

"First, the fracture is fixed, but after removing the cast, her arm couldn’t move temporarily, so I needed to carefully adjust it back. This process is painful, but my method has resulted in countless bones recovering to their original condition." (From my own experience, I stopped due to fear, and now my right hand struggles to reach my shoulder.)

"The only downside is that the process is hard to endure. When she found her hand didn’t greatly affect daily life, she never returned."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Can you demonstrate for me?"

"Sure, first, straighten your hand."

Chen Xiao straightened his hand and kept it rigid with effort.

Bai Xinghu approached and began to adjust.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but ask, "Wouldn’t this...?"

Before finishing, Chen Xiao retracted his words, and Bai Xinghu smiled understandingly, "Yes, the method is direct; even slight attempts can be intimidating, which is why I’ve mostly abandoned it now as technology and medicine have advanced!"

Chen Xiao nodded without speaking.

When Bai Xinghu turned around, Chen Xiao focused on his profile!

In that instant, Chen Xiao compared the profiles of Bai Xinghu and Qiao Zhiyuan in his mind.

After comparing, Chen Xiao concluded negatively.

Their profiles weren’t similar.

Moreover, Bai Xinghu’s age and Qiao Zhiyuan’s age differed greatly; the only similarity was their comparable height.

After Bai Xinghu returned to his seat, Chen Xiao continued:

"Are you familiar with President Qiao of Shenghuang Textile?"

"We were quite good friends many years ago, but later President Qiao’s business faced changes; many times after, I invited him to no avail. Alas, who would truly befriend someone only during their rise and not their fall?"

"Do you know why President Qiao’s business changed?"

Bai Xinghu nodded again, "This isn’t a secret in Yangguan County; Shenghuang Textile was a noteworthy enterprise here. As far as I know, it seems due to a relative of his."

"That relative is Jiao Yan’s father, Jiao Guoxuan. Have you met him?"

Bai Xinghu was somewhat surprised, "Of course I’ve met him, but I never thought it would be him! He was like a true brother to President Qiao and caused President Qiao to be ousted by Shenghuang Textile’s shareholders?"

Chen Xiao affirmed Bai Xinghu’s words with a sound.

However, after responding, Chen Xiao didn’t speak again.

Bai Xinghu’s reaction seemed fine to Chen Xiao, but Bai Xinghu’s words felt somewhat unreasonable.

The county isn’t that large?

The change of a famous enterprise president shouldn’t be so secretive to a likewise known local doctor.

Especially when the doctor is supposedly good friends with the enterprise president!

Chen Xiao deeply looked at Bai Xinghu.

Then, without Bai Xinghu’s awareness, he employed the Power of Capture.

His gaze scanned every corner of the consulting room, but as he continued, Bai Xinghu noticed his silence and said:

"Advisor Chen, what are you looking at? If there’s any problem, you can ask and I’ll answer, knowing all there is to know without reserve."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I just noticed how clean Dr. Bai’s consulting room is, almost spotless."

"Oh, being a doctor, loving cleanliness is natural, but I do have a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"Where is Dr. Bai’s lounge?"

"Hmm?" Bai Xinghu was surprised. Chen Xiao responded, "Didn’t Kang Xin set up a lounge for you?"

"Ah, of course there is! If Advisor Chen is interested, please...."

Bai Xinghu immediately stood up and gestured "please," as Chen Xiao followed him.

The room was equally clean and spotless, adopting a minimalist style.

Chen Xiao could see the entire lounge at a glance.

After finishing, Bai Xinghu asked tentatively, "Any more questions, Advisor Chen?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "Sorry for bothering you, Dr. Bai."

Bai Xinghu smiled and shook his head, and the two walked out together.

But as they reached the hallway, Chen Xiao’s steps suddenly halted.

He unexpectedly saw Wang Dahe and Wang Jun walking down the corridor!

Instinctively, Chen Xiao called out, "Teacher Wang?"

Wang Dahe turned back, his eyes immediately filled with surprise.

Wang Jun quickly asked, "Chen Xiao, didn’t you leave a note saying you were accompanying your wife? Why are you at Kang Xin Hospital?"

Chen Xiao glanced at Wang Dahe’s leg, then toward Bai Xinghu, leading him to speculate, and he smiled:

"I came here to ask some questions. Teacher Wang, are you here for treatment with Dr. Bai?"

Wang Dahe replied frankly, "No, after chatting with you yesterday, I decided this morning to come with Wang Jun to see a psychologist!"

"I heard there’s a really good psychologist at Kang Xin. If I don’t seek treatment, I’ll end up with problems!"

Wang Jun nodded repeatedly: "Yes, if you end up like Madman Zhang in the village, my mom would be very upset!"

This response surprised Chen Xiao, yet also seemed reasonable.

After all, he realized that Wang Dahe had some psychological issues.

But Wang Jun’s words made Chen Xiao instinctively ask, "Wang Jun, who is this Madman Zhang you’re talking about?"
