Former head of the criminal investigation squad, disabled after an injury (bottom) x acupuncture expert and police team intern (top)

Hui Yizhen, head of the criminal investigation squad at Mingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, was a brilliant investigator and a decisive leader, once the sharpest weapon in the department's arsenal.

But during a raid, he was badly injured and left disabled while protecting his teammates. Both his legs were paralyzed.

Forced into a desk job, he grew depressed and developed serious psychological issues. He drove away several therapists who came to counsel him and refused treatment.

The bureau's leadership was tearing their hair out. At last, they decided: “Send that new chatterbox at the bureau to the hospital. If he can get Hui Yizhen to say something, we'll forgive him for talking the police dog into a depressive stupor.”

When the order came down, everyone at the bureau panicked, afraid that fighting fire with fire would end up killing the patient.

Bo Ran, the new intern in the criminal investigation squad at the municipal bureau, came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners specializing in acupuncture. He'd been a huge fan of cop movies since childhood and had always dreamed of joining the police force.

When he got the tough assignment to visit the hospital, Bo Ran was overjoyed.

Hui Yizhen assumed he would be just like the other therapists, telling him to relax and spouting useless nonsense.

Bo Ran: “Bro, are you going to eat that fruit? It's been sitting there for a while. It can't be fresh anymore.”

Hui Yizhen: “...”

Bo Ran: “If you aren't going to eat it, can I take it?”

Hui Yizhen: “???”

At first, Hui Yizhen thought he was putting on an act. But as he watched his hospital room gradually get emptied, and the bag Bo Ran carried his loot in grow bigger and bigger, he was speechless. Was this kid here to stock up on supplies?

One day, Bo Ran brought in a set of acupuncture needles passed down through his family.

Bo Ran: “Bro, I know acupuncture. Let me give you a few needles to improve your health.”

Hui Yizhen: “...”

After one needle, it stood up.

Bo Ran was delighted. “Bro, you're not disabled!”

Hui Yizhen: “Get the hell out!”

His legs were disabled, not the rest of him!

What a quack!

Bo Ran: “Chief! Team Leader Hui spoke!”

Chief: “...”
