Wang Tao left the building, it was already dark outside. Just as he got into his car to head home, he saw a figure holding an umbrella sprinting toward him. “Commissioner Wang, wait!”

“Han Rui? What’s the matter?”

Wang Tao rolled down the window.

“Well… I have something I want to talk to you about, I’m not sure if it’s convenient for you…”

“Sure, get in.”

Han Rui quickly closed her umbrella and took the passenger seat. The dress that Han Rui had worn when she went out with Wang Tao was drenched, and now she had changed back into her police uniform. She looked very smart and impressive.

“Thank you for helping Officer Song take revenge today…”

As soon as Song Jinghong was mentioned, Han Rui’s eyes were still a bit red.

“It’s only right, after all, I am a commissioner!”

Wang Tao smiled.

“I said before that I wanted to repay you for saving my life, but now you’re a commissioner, and I don’t know how to repay you—of course, I won’t forget, rest assured…”

Han Rui started speaking somewhat embarrassedly.

“Haha, don’t worry about it,” Wang Tao shook his head, then added, “Just say what you want to say, we’ve been through life and death together, no need to beat around the bush.”

“Cough…”

Han Rui felt a bit awkward being put on the spot, but she wasn’t the type to dawdle.

“Well, I would like to ask you for a favor, to help me find out who came to my office the day before yesterday. I don’t have the authority to investigate…” “Oh? Why?”

Wang Tao’s brows raised, as what Han Rui referred to must be the video of her husband betraying his teammate; after all, only Wang Tao had visited Han Rui’s office the day before yesterday.

“I… I can’t tell you yet, it’s a personal matter…”

Han Rui had trouble meeting Wang Tao’s gaze.

The main reason was her guilty conscience, after all, that was her husband! When she saw that video, she felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

She never imagined her husband would betray their marriage, and even more so with Ou Yingying!

She couldn’t understand what she lacked compared to Ou Yingying, why her husband would be attracted to that woman!

If that was all there was to it, she wouldn’t have collapsed, for she was a strong woman.

What truly devastated her was that, as the video showed, the two survivors she had personally saved were actually killed by her husband and Ou Yingying working together!

And she herself benefited from it!

She thought of herself as a just police officer!

Even though this happened without her knowledge, she still couldn’t forgive herself, as others had indeed paid with their lives for her survival!

Fortunately, she had work to do when she saw the video, which numbed her to the event, and she forced herself to forget it. It was only after the work was done that she found a place where she could be alone and cry loudly.

However, she also knew that crying wouldn’t solve anything. She needed to find out what the person who gave her the video intended to do!

As for turning in her own husband… she couldn’t do it.

She thought she was a selfless person, but only now did she realize she was incredibly selfish…

“A personal matter? That’s a bit difficult to handle…”

A look of difficulty appeared on Wang Tao’s face.

“Please, Wang Tao, Commissioner Wang!”

Han Rui immediately put her hands together in a pleading gesture.

“Fine, I’ll ask around. I’m doing this because of our relationship; I definitely wouldn’t bother for anyone else.”

“Thank you, thank you so much!”

Han Rui quickly expressed her gratitude.

At this moment, Wang Tao asked:

“What exactly is this personal matter? If you spell it out for me, I can better help you investigate!”

“…It really is a private matter I’d rather not discuss, it’s about me personally, truly, I’m not lying to you!”

Han Rui lied, probably for the first time in her life.

“Alright, I won’t pry any further. Is there anything else? If not, I’ll be on my way.”

Wang Tao feigned resignation as he shook his head.

“No, that’s all, go ahead!”

Han Rui hurriedly got out of the car.

Wang Tao started the car, and as he watched Han Rui re-enter the building through the rearview mirror, he lifted the corner of his mouth.

He had originally thought Han Rui was quite selfless, that she might distance herself or even report her own husband. But he had been incorrect.

The reason Han Rui wanted his help in investigating was simply to find out who had recorded the video. She then sought to negotiate with them, to keep them from publicizing the video, in order to protect her husband.

After all, all the survivors in Shuize Base were innocent people—at least on the surface, none of them had records. As for what they did behind the scenes, that wasn’t clear, but as long as nothing came out, everyone was a good person. By the same logic, once it was exposed, they would undoubtedly be despised by everyone.

Shuize Base couldn’t tolerate the existence of a bad person.

If the video of Sun Weiguang betraying his teammates was leaked, he would become a target of universal scorn. Even if they spared him for Han Rui’s sake, the base couldn’t keep him, and considering his survival skills in a post-apocalyptic world… going out there meant certain death.

Thus, expelling him was as good as killing him.

To save her husband’s life, Han Rui had begun to betray the beliefs she had held for so many years!

When Wang Tao’s car arrived back at Building No. 8, before he could get out, he saw Ding Yuqin wearing an apron coming out to meet him.

“Wang Tao, are you hurt?”

Ding Yuqin grabbed Wang Tao’s hand, asking with a worried look on her face.

“Who do you think I am? How could I possibly get hurt!”

Wang Tao said, smiling as he pinched Ding Yuqin’s hand.

“That’s a relief! I’ve already made dinner, just give me a moment, I’ll go and reheat it….”
