This cop was quite good at playing his cards right.

He gave his chair to Chen Fang.

Then took a plastic stool and sat down.

The stairs were given,

and Li Li couldn't not descend.

She seemed very irritable as she opened the notebook in front of her and said, "Now we begin. I ask, you answer."

Seeing that Chen Fang didn't respond,

Li Li asked in a very unfriendly voice, "Name, sex, position."

Chen Fang, bowing his head, looked utterly at ease but did not answer her question.

Li Li took a deep breath and said, "I'm asking for your name, sex, profession. Are you mute?"

"Don't you already know? Why bother asking me?"

Chen Fang replied.

Li Li's eyes suddenly widened.

"Chen Fang, right now, I am interrogating you, not the other way around. Answer my questions, or I will have to resort to force," she said.

"Oh, really? Where's the arrest warrant? Show it to me,"

Chen Fang retorted.

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

Li Li bellowed.

Looking at such an irrational and furious woman,

Chen Fang himself wasn't usually one to have much patience either,

but he suddenly realized something.

He stood up abruptly.

Walked over to Li Li.

Li Li thought Chen Fang was trying to provoke her and stood up as well.

At that moment,

Chen Fang grabbed her wrist.

Three fingers were placed on her pulse.

"What are you doing?"

Li Li suddenly felt her hand grasped, her face flushed with embarrassment. Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Chen Fang barked angrily, "If you don't want to die, stand still and don't move."

As soon as these words were uttered,

it was miraculous.

The incessantly noisy Li Li actually quieted down obediently.

Chen Fang frowned at times, and at others, his expression eased.

About three minutes later,

he let go of her hand,

and said, "You have a severe problem."

"Don't try to fool me with your tricks. I'm not buying it. Sit over there, I still have questions for you,"

Li Li snapped.

Chen Fang gave a faint smile,

and said, "Captain Li, don't be hasty. Let me first name a few symptoms, and you tell me if they sound familiar?"

Then,

Chen Fang returned to his chair and said leisurely, "During the day, you are exceptionally irritable, quick to anger and excitement, with large emotional swings. You often suffer from symptoms of liver fire flaring up such as headaches, red eyes, bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, and pain in the chest and ribs. Your thinking is quick but hard to control, and you're prone to conflicts with others. This should be accurate, right?"

"Right, right, right, our Captain Li during the day..."

The policeman beside immediately started exclaiming.

Li Li glared at him, and he immediately fell silent, not daring to speak.

Chen Fang continued, "At night, you become extremely weak, depressed, with limp limbs, and you might even experience palpitations, insomnia, night sweats, nocturnal emissions, and soreness in the lower back and knees, signs of a deficiency in kidney yin. You often feel drained, lose interest in the things around you, and your mood falls into a slump. Captain Li, am I right?"

"Right, right, right."

The excited officer said.

Li Li angrily retorted, "Right my ass, how would you know what I'm like at night? Do you sleep with me or what?"

With that said,

the officer stuck out his tongue and shut his mouth again,

and turning to look at Li Li.

Her expression was very conflicted.

The anger that had been on her face slowly disappeared, replaced by shock.

She swallowed hard and asked, "What exactly is the disease with these symptoms?"

Chen Fang didn't answer.

Instead, he looked toward the male police officer beside him.

The male police officer immediately said, "I'd also like to know what illness Captain Li has. We've been privately saying that Captain Li's menopause has come early!"

"Wan Tao, get out!"

Li Li finally snapped, yelling loudly.

The policeman named Wan Tao stood up.

Pointing at Li Li, he said to Chen Fang, "Secretary General Chen, look, Captain Li really does have a temper. Please take good care of her. If you can cure her, you'll be our entire team's hero."

After dropping that comment,

he turned and ran.

As he closed the door,

Li Li's notebook hit against it.

"Chen Fang, don't think that just because you know a bit of medicine, I will let go of investigating you. Let's keep these matters separate and stick to the facts," she said.

Her tone was still unfriendly.

But when she said these words, there was still a hint of unease.

It was a deliberately feigned stubbornness.

Chen Fang smiled slightly.

He asked, "Captain Li, it seems I was right?"

Li Li didn't want to admit it.

Pouting her lips, she said, "It has some similarities, I guess. More like a guess."

Stubborn!

Chen Fang, smiling, said, "This disease, for Chinese medicine, is also very rare. Its full name is 'Diurnal Yin-Yang Reversal Syndrome'."

"Diurnal Yin-Yang Reversal Syndrome? What kind of bullshit name is that? Did you make that up yourself?" Li Li asked with raised eyebrows.

Doubt filled her eyes.

Chen Fang said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have been experiencing long-term emotional discomfort, anxiety, repression, or emotional instability, coupled with an irregular lifestyle and preferences for spicy, cold, or excessive eating, leading to an imbalance of yin and yang in your body, especially an overabundance of liver wood and insufficient kidney water, creating a situation of 'exuberant wood and depleted water.'"

"Chinese medicine believes that the liver governs the dispersion and the regulation of emotions. If the liver qi is stagnated or liver fire flares up, it can make a person irritable and prone to anger. The kidney governs water, stores essence, and is the root of yin. If the kidney water is deficient, at night it cannot nourish the body, leading to symptoms of weakness and debility. In simple terms, you're suffering from an imbalance of yin and yang."

It's spot on.

At first, Li Li indeed had her doubts about Chen Fang,

but as the conversation reached this point,

she had become almost completely convinced.

If Chen Fang was guessing,

he absolutely couldn't have guessed with such accuracy.

Subconsciously, she asked, "Is the condition serious?"

Chen Fang answered with a smile, "You know very well how serious it is. Are you increasingly unable to control your emotions during the day, and is your lack of energy at night also getting worse? In my experience, it shouldn't be long before you collapse."

"Collapse? Is it really that serious?"

Li Li couldn't hold back anymore and stood up, asking anxiously.

Chen Fang glanced at Li Li.

He said, "Captain Li, these issues have been going on for a long time, and you must have already sought medical attention. You've probably taken a lot of medicine. Western medicine can't treat this kind of imbalance of yin and yang. You'll need Chinese medicine to adjust your condition."

Li Li's eyes suddenly went blank.

She sat down somewhat dazedly.

After a moment of silence,

she said, "Secretary General Chen, is there still hope for me?"

"Of course, there is hope, but Chinese medicine also emphasizes appropriate treatment for each condition. Captain Li, if it's convenient, could you answer a few personal questions for me?"

"Sure, go ahead and ask,"

Li Li responded without a second thought.

Chen Fang nodded slightly and asked, "First question, have you been engaging in long-term and excessive exercise?"

Li Li nodded.

She said, "Yes, Secretary General Chen, you're from the system, so you know. For a female police officer to stand out is a difficult task, especially in the detective squad where men outnumber women. Those male detectives naturally look down upon female officers, so…"
