Old Zhang couldn't afford the expensive medicine and the pain of surgery, so he endured without treatment. He never thought He Lingxiu's prescription would be so simple!

Soaking his feet in vinegar, could that really cure it?

"Uncle, this folk remedy is absolutely effective, you should try it when you get home!" Ling Zhenfei looked approvingly at He Lingxiu and nodded as he told Old Zhang.

"However, if you want to get better sooner, besides soaking your feet, you should also frequently massage the soles of your feet, stomp your feet when you have time, and wear soft-soled shoes. These are just minor ailments. As long as you persist with the treatment, you will recover quickly!"

"Really? That's great. I'll go try it right now!"

Seeing the determination in Ling Zhenfei's tone, Old Zhang was overjoyed. He quickly stood up with his cane and rushed out the door.

"Slow down, uncle, don't fall!" He Lingxiu called out concernedly as she saw Old Zhang hurrying.

Then, with a self-satisfied smile, she said to Ling Zhenfei, "How about that, Brother Afei? My knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine has truly been passed down by you, hasn't it?"

"..." Ling Zhenfei felt a wave of awkwardness wash over him.

"Axiu, traditional Chinese medicine is the most complex subject, vast and profound. Not even I can say I'm more than a beginner."

Seeing He Lingxiu's proud expression, Ling Zhenfei quickly poured some cold water on her excitement, his face full of meaning.

When he got home, he found that his sister-in-law was still busy at the farm and had not returned. Ling Zhenfei locked the door, calmed his mind, and entered the Marrow Space with the Lingzhi.

The Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow was a precious Divine Artifact. Last time, although it had forced Ling Zhenfei's cultivation to rise by two levels, his foundation was still relatively weak, making progress in cultivation somewhat difficult.

He knew that to consolidate and enhance his cultivation, he needed to continuously refine Qi and practice in the space, and also consume large quantities of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

In recent days, Ling Zhenfei had been troubled by the difficulty of finding these treasures. Today, while collecting herbs, he unexpectedly found a piece of Lingzhi.

For him, this was indeed a pleasant surprise!

Although this Lingzhi had only grown for five hundred years, it had the advantage of being a wild herb with abundant medicinal properties, enough to help Ling Zhenfei achieve a small realm advancement.

Lingzhi was indeed a valuable treasure. Ling Zhenfei meditated in the space for an entire cycle, and the results were evident.

When he finished and left the space, he felt clear-minded and even physically lighter.

His sister-in-law had finished cooking dinner and was knocking on the door for the third time to call Ling Zhenfei to eat. Ling Zhenfei opened the door, smiled at her, and went to the kitchen to wash his hands and eat.

"You are my little, little apple, no amount of love is too much..." Just as Ling Zhenfei was about to eat, his phone rang urgently.

At this time, who could be calling?

Ling Zhenfei was puzzled. He took out his phone and found that it was a call from Han Lian.

"Hello, Officer Han, what do you need? Missing me after just one day? Haha..." Ling Zhenfei joked with Han Lian, holding a pair of chopsticks and picking up food.

But as soon as he spoke, he noticed his sister-in-law looking at him curiously. He had to clear his throat and put the food in his mouth.

"Hey, come out quickly, I'm at the entrance of your village. I don't know where your house is."

On the other end, Han Lian seemed anxious, ignoring Ling Zhenfei's joke and speaking directly.

"What?"

Ling Zhenfei was eating when he heard Han Lian's words, almost choking.

"Stop talking, hurry out, and come with me to the station!" Han Lian didn't bother to explain further and hung up.

Han Lian was actually waiting for him at the village entrance?

What's going on?

"Sis, a friend is looking for me, I have to go out. I might not come back tonight!"

Seeing Han Lian's urgency, Ling Zhenfei couldn't delay. He quickly put down the chopsticks and told his sister-in-law before hurrying out.

"Hey, Zhenfei, where are you going? Eat first before you leave..."

Zhou Yun was full of doubt and wanted to chase after him, but Ling Zhenfei had already run far like a rabbit.

"Sigh, what's going on with Zhenfei? Could it be that he's found someone?" Zhou Yun pondered as she recalled his joke with Han Lian, seeming to realize something.

But then she thought again and felt something was off.

Isn't Zhenfei dating He Lingxiu? What's this about?

Could it be...

When Ling Zhenfei arrived at the village entrance, he indeed saw Han Lian in a police car, waiting for him.

"I say, Officer Han, you're quite busy. How do you have time to come to this remote village?" Seeing a number of villagers looking curiously at the police car, Ling Zhenfei frowned and approached.

"Also, Officer Han, can you wear plain clothes next time you find me? And doesn't your unit have any other cars? Driving a police car here makes people think I've committed some major crime!"

Wu You said helplessly as he waved his hand at the villagers, "Folks, this is my friend, she's here for me. Go on now!"

Seeing him say this, the villagers, of course, stopped watching and dispersed with laughter.

"Get in the car!"

Han Lian glanced at him, said three simple words, and got into the driver's seat.

"Hey, Officer Han, could you not have just told me on the phone? Did you really need to come here?"

Ling Zhenfei said helplessly as he got into the car. "I barely ate a bite before you dragged me away. Can you at least promise me dinner later? I won't go to the station otherwise!"

"Hey, Hero Ling, since when did you start talking so much? I'm here on serious business. We'll talk about dinner later."

Han Lian looked serious and didn't care if Ling Zhenfei wanted to go or not. She turned the car towards the road.

"Uh... okay. But you have to tell me what's going on, right? I'm not a cop, Officer Han. It's not right for you to keep dragging me into your cases. And... you promised a reward for helping the police last time, but nothing came of it..."

With her pretty face tensed, Han Lian drove silently. Ling Zhenfei talked until his mouth was dry, but when he saw she didn't respond, he had to shut up.

"We questioned Chi Hu overnight, but couldn't find any valuable clues." Just as Ling Zhenfei was feeling bored in the car, Han Lian spoke up.

Chi Hu?

Ling Zhenfei knew she must be talking about the bandit he caught yesterday, yet he pretended not to know, squinting at Han Lian with a mischievous look.

Seeing his feigned ignorance, Han Lian was so angry she wanted to bite him. She said sternly, "The thief you caught yesterday!"
