Chapter 108 How did he meet Wenjie? (Please subscribe)

Yang Shanshan saw Wenjie standing there, looking completely bewildered.

She sighed silently.

With a sigh, I suddenly felt a low pressure behind me.

A chill ran through me; oh no, seeing Wenjie made me forget everything.

Behind her, Huang Weiwei was crying...

She turned her head away timidly.

Huang Weiwei was still crying, the wind whipping her seaweed-like hair, the hem of her black nightgown almost blending into the darkness.

The white cardigan on her shoulders abruptly distinguishes the black silk pajamas from the darkness.

This abrupt and intense color clash gives people a chilly feeling.

Yang Shanshan pinched Wenjie's arm; her anger had subsided considerably, leaving only a pile of questions for Wenjie to ask.

"Why don't you answer my call?"

Why aren't you replying to my messages?

Have you missed me?

……

Wenjie rubbed his face, feeling a little embarrassed by the questions.

Especially in Huang Weiwei's presence at this moment.

Actually, Wenjie also has questions to ask.

What I really want to know is, what happened to Huang Weiwei?

However, Wenjie understood that when women ask questions, men have no right to ask questions at all.

At times like these, explaining, trying to please, hugging, or lifting someone up high are clearly inappropriate.

So he could only nod.

Yang Shanshan asked a question, and he nodded.

After asking three or four questions and receiving three or four nods from him, Yang Shanshan realized that Wenjie was being perfunctory.

She shoved Wenjie in the chest, feigning anger, and said:

"Why are you nodding? I'm asking you why you're here! Answer me!"

Oh, I was so busy nodding that I didn't even notice what Yang Shanshan asked.

That question wasn't flirting; it was a very serious one...

This question can be answered.

Wenjie pursed his lips, and the awkwardness on his face eased slightly.

However, a deeper level of awkwardness soon followed.

Because he didn't know how to answer. He also didn't know how he got there.

So, with a wry smile, he squeezed out three words through gritted teeth: "I don't know."

When Yang Shanshan heard this answer, she thought Wenjie was just giving her a perfunctory response.

She glared at Wenjie with a look of shame and indignation, and raised her pink fist to gesture at him.

Wenjie's gaze swept past Yang Shanshan and glanced behind her. He then gestured towards Yang Shanshan with his chin: "Hmm, behind you, Huang Weiwei is crying. Do you think this is... appropriate?"

Yang Shanshan had no choice but to give up, angrily putting down her fist and glaring at Wenjie again.

Wenjie ignored him and blurted out:

"Where...is this?"

Yang Shanshan froze instantly, giving Wenjie a serious look for a moment.

Wenjie's eyes, deep-set, were clear and bright as he looked directly at her.

There was absolutely no intention to make fun of them.

It seems he really doesn't know where he is.

Yang Shanshan wanted to say something, but she heard footsteps behind her, followed by Huang Weiwei bursting into tears again.

She turned around and saw several police officers coming out of the building.

Huang Weiwei went crazy and rushed over to grab the arm of the leading policeman, shaking him violently.

She was shaking and crying at the same time.

Wenjie's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw the group of police officers.

Isn't that Captain Wu and Xiao Zhang? There are several unfamiliar police officers following behind them.

Seeing this, Yang Shanshan ran to Huang Weiwei's side and took out a tissue to wipe her tears.

While comforting her, he pried her hand off the policeman.

After pulling that hand away, Huang Weiwei grabbed the other person's police uniform with her other hand.

Helpless, Yang Shanshan started scratching her other hand.

After a few rounds, Yang Shanshan looked at the policeman's clothes, which were crumpled and torn beyond recognition, with a blank expression on her face.

That expression seemed to say:

I've tried my best, really!

Wenjie looked at the group of police officers, then at Huang Weiwei who was crying uncontrollably, and understood:

Judging from Huang Weiwei's sorrowful and dazed expression, she must have suffered a great shock.

This means something serious has happened!

What big event could that be?

Could it be that Huang Weiwei's relative was murdered?

Someone died! The thought weighed heavily on Wenjie's mind.

He slowly walked over, approached Yang Shanshan, turned his head, and looked at her with eager eyes.

Under Wenjie's gaze, Yang Shanshan shyly reached out and touched her slightly flushed cheeks.

At this time and in this place, it's really inappropriate for you to be all lovey-dovey and exchanging glances.

She lowered her head in a panic, not daring to look at Wenjie again.

"Officer, who killed my brother? Ah... my brother!"

Huang Weiwei kept repeating the same few sentences, crying and questioning at the same time.

Exhausted from crying and scratching, she slumped to the ground, muttering to herself:

“Who…who is it?”

Yang Shanshan and Wen Jie stepped forward and pulled Huang Weiwei up.

"Ms. Huang, please accept our condolences! We will do our best to solve the case. Look at you now..."

Team Leader Wu glanced at Huang Weiwei's dazed eyes and swallowed the rest of his words.

The original intention was to ask Huang Weiwei to go back and give a statement.

Never mind, judging from her condition, it's impossible to take a statement right now.

As the person who reported the incident, Ms. Huang Weiwei, the sister of the deceased Huang Dongheng, must have suffered a great deal of shock.

Captain Wu looked at Wenjie and the girl next to him. The two were very close, so they must be a couple.

"Wenjie, you and your...girlfriend, can you take Huang Weiwei back?"

Someone should stay with her; she's been through a shock, and we don't want her to do anything rash. Anyway... take good care of her and let her rest as much as possible.

Tomorrow, or the day after, when she's feeling better, bring her to the police station to give a statement.

"Okay, Captain Wu! Don't worry, she can leave now, right?"

Seeing that Captain Wu nodded, Wenjie looked at Yang Shanshan, and the two of them helped Huang Weiwei walk away.

In the evening, Huang Weiwei drove to Huang Dongheng's residence.

She came to pick up the transfer contract for the baking room. She had been living with her brother, Huang Dongheng, so she had the key to the house.

She knocked on the door for ages, but no one answered. She was very puzzled; Huang Dongheng had called her to come, so why wouldn't he open the door for her?

I had no choice but to rummage through my bag for my keychain and find the key to the house.

As Huang Weiwei opened the door and entered the house, she called Huang Dongheng's name as she walked inside...

She always called him by his name.

I should have called him "brother" more. I feel like I haven't had a chance to call him "brother" much... What a messed up life!

The eerie silence in the room gave her a bad feeling.

She went straight to the study.

As a result... they found Huang Dongheng slumped over the desk, his back stained with blood, and the floor covered in bloodstains. The desk and bookshelves were ransacked.

"Ah..." she screamed and shrank into the corner, trembling as she pulled out her phone to call the police.

Suddenly, she realized that her brother might still be saved!

She mustered her courage and went closer, reaching out to check Huang Dongheng's breath.

She's not...she's not breathing anymore.

The document pressed against Huang Dongheng's cheek was the bakery transfer agreement.

The blood flowing from the corner of his mouth spilled onto the paper.

The paper was stained with a pool of blood; the stark white and dark red blood formed Huang Dongheng's final act of care for Huang Weiwei.

He was protecting his troublesome younger sister with his life!

Huang Weiwei burst into tears instantly.

She covered her mouth and cried silently. Tears streamed down her face like a faucet turned on, the more she wiped, the more she cried.

After calling the police, while waiting for them to arrive, she looked at the room that had been ransacked.

A thought popped into my head: What was the murderer looking for? Clearly, it wasn't the transfer agreement.

Huang Weiwei wondered to herself: Where would Huang Dongheng put the important documents?

Suddenly she remembered that on her birthday, Huang Dongheng gave her the keys to their new house.

Entering her bedroom, they retrieved the bright red property certificate from a hidden compartment behind the mural.

She suddenly realized what was happening and ran into the room she had been staying in.

The decorative paintings on the wall were hanging there intact.

She glanced towards the door and suddenly became incredibly nervous, her heart pounding as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

Hesitantly, I turned open the hidden compartment.

Inside... there really was a brown paper bag.

The bag looked very sturdy; it must have contained a stack of documents.

Huang Wei shakily took out the document bag, pulled it out, and quickly flipped through it.

What? Bai Mengyao's real name is Zhang Meng?

I heard a knock at the door, followed by the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor, approaching from afar.

The police are coming!

She stuffed the document bag into her handbag.

The moment she saw the police, she stumbled over and knelt down beside them, crying her heart out.

……

Wenjie drove Huang Weiwei's car smoothly, heading towards Jinjiang International according to the navigation.

In the back seat, Yang Shanshan put her arm around Huang Weiwei's shoulder, patting her or whispering words of comfort from time to time.

After Huang Weiwei got into the car, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in her lifeless eyes.

She took the document bag out of her handbag and flipped through it page by page.

Zhang Meng? Is she the woman who was scared to death in the police news?

Therefore, Huang Dongheng's death must be related to Zhang Meng's death.

Huang Weiwei isn't stupid; if Zhang Meng is indeed Bai Mengyao...

The complicated and tangled emotional entanglement between Bai Mengyao and Huang Dongheng is something even the most oblivious person could sense.

So… Huang Weiwei rubbed her temples, a sense of regret spreading from the bottom of her heart.

She's such a troublemaker; she's either causing trouble or staying home and acting crazy because she's unemployed...

Besides being busy with his law firm, Huang Dongheng also had to clean up her messes.

But she didn't care about Huang Dongheng at all.

If Huang Dongheng had been reminded earlier, wouldn't the matter of Bai Mengyao have been resolved? Dragging it out isn't a solution...

Could the two of them have had a different ending?

……

After getting off the bus, Jia Nan walked along the sidewalk.

Jia Lin's words kept echoing in his ears: "Don't see Wen Jie again."

Why can't I see Wenjie?

wrong!

No...that doesn't make sense!

Jia Nan suddenly stopped and turned around abruptly to look at the Porsche Cayenne parked there.

Through the car's windshield, he noticed that Jalin was watching him.

He hadn't mentioned Wenjie to Jia Lin, and when the Porsche parked in front of the police station, he didn't call Wenjie's name in front of Jia Lin.

So how did he meet Wenjie?
