Chapter 631 The Hunt for Crimes Illustrated Guide 2 3
In the portrait————
"This is for you." Shen Yi continued drawing for a while before putting down his brush and handing the painting to her.
Fang Qingyan took the painting. She had never seen what this body looked like in a mirror before, but she didn't expect to see it on paper first.
Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her eyes were like autumn water, her face was beautiful, and her expression was calm yet contained boundless power.
She touched her face and murmured to herself, "This looks like me, but it doesn't look like me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi looked at her with affirmation and encouragement: "It's you. You are very strong, even stronger than you think."
In his view, what she had been through did not defeat her.
Even if you are temporarily discouraged and lose hope, you can quickly adjust your emotions and mindset, and you have endless strength.
He had looked through Fang Qingyan's investigation materials, which included her illustrations.
Judging from the painting, she must be a girl who loves life.
"Thank you. I didn't expect that's how Officer Shen sees me."
Seemingly pleased by what he said, Fang Qingyan gave a faint smile.
The two chatted for quite a while without realizing it, until the IV drip ran out and they called the nurse to change the dressing. Only then did Shen Yi realize that it was time for him to leave.
He told Fang Qingyan that he was leaving and that he would bring her what she wanted the next day.
Fang Qingyan nodded: "Goodbye, Officer Shen."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. You must be hungry too. I'll ask the caregiver to bring you some food."
"Thank you."
Shen Yi smiled at her one last time, then slung his bag over his shoulder and left.

Once she was alone in the ward, Fang Qingyan closed her eyes to continue resting: "Xiao Qi, are there any side quests?"
Xiao Qi: "Does the host still remember the mission? You've been chatting for an entire episode already."
What are you being sarcastic about?
"Hmph, I thought you'd forgotten about her."
Fang Qingyan opened her eyes and rolled them at it: "Go away, I'm a patient now, and you're not worried about me at all, you're just putting on an act with me."
Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed by what she said: "Ahem, sorry, host, let's get down to business."
"Tell me quickly, I'm a patient and I need more rest."
The host has only been asleep for so long. You think you're so great just because you're a patient?
These are things Xiaoqi only dares to think; it wouldn't dare to say them aloud: "The side quest is to stay away from family."
"Okay, I'm a little hungry. How long will it take for Auntie to arrive?" Fang Qingyan belatedly realized that she was a little hungry.
I haven't eaten anything for two days, I've only been given glucose to keep my body functioning normally.
Her stomach was empty, and she wanted to eat a whole cow, but eating too much directly would be bad for her stomach, so she thought of getting food from her spatial storage.
Xiao Qi said, "It'll be soon, it's already on its way."
Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyan decided to wait a little longer, mainly because the smell in the ward would be too strong later.

After having her nutritious patient meal in the evening, Fang Qingyan turned on the TV in her hospital room to watch TV, otherwise it would be too boring.
Perhaps because she was still weak, she fell asleep again after a short while.
This time, I'm already in the hospital, and I can't heal my wounds on my own. I'll have to stay in the hospital for a while longer.

The next morning, Fang Qingyan was awakened by a commotion. She frowned with her eyes closed.
Judging from the voices, it seemed to be the original owner's parents. They started chattering and babbling while the owner was still sleeping.
A rough, unpleasant middle-aged man's voice was uttering meaningless words, implying that Fang Qingyan had embarrassed him.
In his view, going to the police station was a very shameful thing.
He loudly berated his wife, saying she had given birth to a useless daughter, wasted money raising her, and caused this mess.
They never imagined that their daughter almost lost her life, and that the culprits were brought by them.
The original owner's mother would occasionally retort, but she always spoke up for herself, rather than refuting the claim that her daughter was useless.
She also thought hospitalization was too expensive, and kept talking about how much it cost per day.
After listening to their conversation, Fang Qingyan gained a clearer understanding of the two men.
A moment later, a nurse knocked on the door to remind them: "This is a hospital, please do not make loud noises, family members of patients."
"Okay, okay, we understand." The timid female voice came from the original owner's mother.
The original owner's mother was also a woman brainwashed by feudal ideas. She felt that her daughter should also suffer the hardships she had endured.
Some even believe that a daughter's value lies in earning money for the family to help her son get married.
The original owner was able to graduate from university smoothly because her good grades made them proud, and she also applied for a student loan herself.
Both parents were typical bullies who preyed on the weak, especially the original owner's father, who was very domineering at home but dared not argue with anyone in the village when he encountered them outside.
Dealing with such a person isn't difficult, but getting rid of them would require some effort, and she didn't want that kind of trouble.
At this moment, the caregiver also came over with a nutritious breakfast. The original owner's mother started complaining about the cost and demanded that she return the money, otherwise she wouldn't give her any money.
Fang Qingyan opened her eyes promptly: "Auntie, please help me up so I can wash up."
"Coming, coming." The caregiver breathed a sigh of relief.
That middle-aged woman, with her stingy and eccentric manner, was really too difficult to deal with.
She quickly walked over, put the breakfast down, and then helped Fang Qingyan up.
Mr. Fang sat on the sofa and spoke like an old man: "Laidi, what happened to you? What did the police say about He Wang injuring you?"
The name Lai Di made Fang Qingyan feel uneasy.
This was the original owner's nickname; if it weren't for her parents registering her household registration back then...
They felt embarrassed after being teased, so they changed their name to Fang Qingyan. Perhaps the original owner had this unpleasant and malicious name.
She didn't want to talk to these people at all, so when she turned her head to look at them, she used her mental power to control Mr. Fang.
Fang's mother was rummaging through breakfast when she saw that her daughter didn't speak. She turned around and scolded her, "Why don't you know how to answer your father? Have you wasted all those years of studying?"
Fang Qingyan immediately restrained her, then held the aunt's hand and said, "Let's talk after I come out."
The two men were under her control and wouldn't say anything unpleasant anymore.
Ignoring them will only lead to endless, meaningless chatter, which is really annoying.
In the original owner's memory, the scenes of being suppressed by them were still vivid in his mind.
The caregiver breathed a sigh of relief again. Although she had encountered such extreme parents before, she always found them bizarre.
After washing up, Fang Qingyan started eating breakfast. Only then did she look at her two parents who were watching her eat, and she began to think about how to resolve the problems with her family of origin.
She has already sent the caregiver home, so there are only the three of them in the ward now.
I might as well go all the way and directly manipulate their thoughts and change their minds. After all, it's not the first time I've done this.
She controlled her mental energy to enter their minds, making them realize that their daughter had almost died, and causing the parents to have a sudden awakening.
