Soul Patch

Chapter 165 Being calculated

The once-powerful leader of our dorm, who used to brag about everything at graduation, patting his chest and assuring everyone that he would protect us and that mentioning his name would definitely work—it all still seems to echo in my ears…

When they met again at work, he was so timid that he was almost incontinent and unable to take care of himself!

The contrast in art style is quite striking.

Wenjie shook his head, squatted down to help Wang Hui up, and walked towards the elevator.

Just as Wang Hui called him, the ambulance arrived, and he helped the paramedics lift his father into the ambulance.

The medical staff asked a family member to accompany him, and Wenjie took out a wallet from his pocket.

It was made of pure buffalo leather, of superior quality, and in excellent condition. He found the wallet in his pocket that morning.

This is where it comes in handy.

He pulled out an ICBC gold card, the kind that grants VIP treatment to customers with a transaction volume of 300,000 yuan.

It was handed to a doctor who looked kind and gentle.

He then pulled a handful of red bills from his wallet and stuffed them into the doctor's pocket, asking him for help.

Normally, doctors would not trust the money and bank cards handed over by the patient's family, because medical expenses are not small amounts, and who can guarantee that the balance in the bank card is enough to pay for the medical expenses?

However, the doctor made an exception and accepted Wenjie's bank card and cash.

The person on the stretcher was Wen Tianyi, an entrepreneur, chairman and general manager of Huahai International's M branch, whose personal wealth was among the highest in M ​​city.

Who would doubt that the renowned Wen Tianyi would be unable to pay his medical bills?

Goodness, this is the wise move, isn't it? Maybe if the medical services satisfy Wen Tianyi, he'll even invest in expanding the hospital!

So, the seemingly kind-looking doctor in front of Wenjie was secretly calculating his next move, and he cheerfully accepted Wenjie's bank card.

Looking at the young man who looked so much like Wen Tianyi, he guessed that this must be the eldest son of the Wen family, so he nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen."

Wenjie suddenly remembered something, took out a business card from his wallet and handed it over, instructing, "Call me if you need anything!"

Wenjie watched the ambulance slowly drive away before turning back.

Seeing Wang Hui's missed call, she called back but no one answered. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she looked up and saw Wang Hui standing in the lobby on the first floor.

But Wang Hui was terrified until Wen Jie helped him back to his private office.

Wang Huicai woke up from his coma, patting his chest with lingering fear, and said, "Wenjie, don't scare me! You know I'm easily frightened."

"Heh, this... I really don't know!" Wenjie said with a teasing smile.

But deep down I was thinking, whether you're brave or not, I don't know. I only know you're good at bragging; once you open your mouth, you can make even the cows on the ground seem to float to the sky.

Wang Hui glanced at Wenjie and saw the amused smile on Wenjie's face, the sarcasm and disdain contained within it so obvious.

"..." Wang Hui smacked his lips but didn't say anything.

Wenjie suddenly remembered something: "Who's in charge of the company's security camera footage? I asked the receptionist to check it for me, but the receptionist..."

Before Wenjie could finish speaking, he saw Wang Hui suddenly open his eyes wide, the fear in his pupils growing stronger.

Wang Hui's mind involuntarily drifted to the image of the mangled corpse in the lobby. Who else could it be but Xiao Liu, the person in charge of surveillance?

The terror of standing in the hall facing the corpse surged up again.

Seeing that Wang Hui was about to collapse from fright again, Wenjie shut his mouth and said in a consoling tone, "So many things happened at the company today, I want to see the surveillance footage to help the police solve the case as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui seemed to recall something, slapping his thigh and saying, "Oh dear, back then, Captain Wu instructed the forensic doctor to finish dealing with the bodies upstairs and then come downstairs to help the general manager..."

Wang Hui glanced at Wenjie as he spoke: "Then we don't need to bandage it now. Go upstairs and tell Captain Wu!"

Wenjie figured Wang Hui was still terrified and hadn't recovered, so he said without any hesitation, "Didn't I kill Captain Wu?"

Wang Hui walked over and shoved Wenjie hard: "Hehe, I told you not to talk nonsense, Captain Wu is upstairs in your office... Hey, Wenjie... where are you going?"

He had just mentioned that Captain Wu was in his office upstairs when Wenjie looked at him incredulously. He then strode towards the door and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wenjie ran as fast as he could, his thoughts racing uncontrollably through his mind. Captain Wu wasn't dead? Why wasn't Captain Wu dead?

If he's not dead, then who is the body downstairs?

Suddenly, he remembered the look of horror in Wang Hui's eyes when he asked who was in charge of the surveillance.

Could it be that……

In an instant, he stopped in his tracks, turned back, and rushed into Wang Hui's office.

He turned and closed the door, then asked bluntly, "The body downstairs belonged to the staff member in charge of the surveillance footage, right?"

Wang Hui was completely unprepared. He saw Wenjie rush out and had just picked up his cup to refill his water bottle.

Suddenly Wenjie came back. He choked on his water and nodded: "Cough cough... It's... cough cough... It's Xiao Liu, the network administrator from the administration department."

Oh, I see!

Wenjie dashed towards the elevator like a whirlwind, bumping into a staff member on the way. He jumped aside twice to make way for the other person.

Upon closer inspection, the person they bumped into was none other than Li Shiman.

Li Shiman acted as if she didn't recognize him, and simply brushed past him.

Wenjie stared blankly at Li Shiman for a moment, feeling that there was something strange about Li Shiman in front of him at this moment.

If the Wu team leader I killed earlier was a trick used by Patch Carrier 1, then the person in front of me is not the real Li Shiman!

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, Li Shiman... please wait!"

Wenjie called out three times in a row, and Li Shiman hesitated and stopped.

He scrutinized Li Shiman for a moment, then suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her into the conference room next door.

The meeting room was completely enclosed with no windows. After the two entered, Wenjie closed the door behind him.

The room was completely dark.

"What is this...?" The dark environment made Li Shiman a little uncomfortable, and she hesitated before speaking.

Wenjie ignored her words and asked directly:

"Are you Patch Carrier 2? Where have you hidden the real Li Shiman?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Li Shiman calls me Xiao Wen, I think you probably don't even know me. The look in your eyes when you passed me was so unfamiliar!"

"If you were the murderer, you would have killed me long ago after I pulled you into the meeting room, especially since the lights weren't on. So you're not the murderer!"

Wenjie was only 60% certain about what he had said, and everything was up to him to act according to circumstances. He had no other choice but to respond to each move as it came.

If the patch was indeed the wrong one, then patch carrier 2 is the culprit. Instead of playing coy and vague games, it's better to be upfront and confront them one-on-one!

Everything in the system is too strange. Just a minute ago, he learned that the system could instantly change a person's identity and even control another person's appearance and thoughts!

Of the five entities that joined the online mission, in addition to Wenjie, there were four patch entities, three of whom exchanged identities to hide themselves.

Wenjie did not redeem his identity because he did not receive the system's identity reward.

Besides him, there was another person who did not change his identity. It turned out that the patch carrier already had its own plans, which was to use this illusion to temporarily change its identity.

It allows one to deceive everyone without their knowledge and to freely switch identities, giving oneself the upper hand.

But... why didn't the system send any notifications this time?

Wenjie stared intently at the dark air before him, and indeed there were no system message notifications.

The last time he killed "Captain Wu" with a fire extinguisher, the system prompted that patch carrier 1 had consumed one item.

But not this time!

After a moment's thought, he seemed to understand.

The two situations seem different. What happened to Captain Wu was essentially a form of mind control, turning Xiao Liu, the network administrator in the administration department, into his puppet.

In reality, Xiao Liu probably never knew until his death that his appearance had been altered by the Patch Carrier's props, and that he was using this appearance to test and attack Wenjie—Patch Carrier 5.

However, after his death, the system items disappeared, revealing his true form.

Therefore, the surveillance video he accessed must have also fallen into the hands of patch carrier 1.

Yes! It's patch carrier 1. The system message says that patch carrier 1 used an item.

Therefore, it must be patch carrier 1 testing me, and trying to kill me under the guise of Captain Wu's identity.

Looking back now, I remember when Captain Wu got into the car, he laughed at Wenjie and said, "How did you guess that, kid?"

He probably said the same thing to others, but they weren't the ones who received the patch, so they were completely unaware of his statement.

In the darkness, Wenjie pounded his fists against the wall.

Those who thought they had discovered the secret were actually just clues deliberately exposed by Patch Carrier 1.

The cunning and treacherous patch carrier 1!
