Soul Patch

Chapter 201 Driving!

Seeing that she couldn't grab it, Zhao Jingshu gave up.

She turned around and walked to the sofa in the corner of the room, and sat down by herself.

The thought of himself, a fifty-year-old man, competing with young people for things made him chuckle to himself.

So what if he got it? It's been twenty years. Those old stories have long been buried in the unbearable years along with my sister's remains.

Thinking about it this way, my initial anxiety and concerns disappeared.

She took off her high heels, found a comfortable position on the sofa, and watched Wenjie staring blankly at the stills from the witch movie, lost in thought.

"You still haven't answered me? This is the mysterious reflection?"

"right"

"But why is it different from what I imagined?"

"Fantasy is different for everyone. What you imagine is definitely different from what Li Shiman imagines."

Why this one?

Haha, Zhao Jingshu laughed without any restraint, revealing her neat teeth.

She had some wrinkles on her face, and compared to her peers, she was probably well-maintained. However, compared to the image Wenjie saw of her twenty years ago last night, she looked much more weathered.

Her smile softened her aura, and Wenjie smiled back.

Twenty years later, the two were no longer at each other's throats.

It was more like two special friends who hadn't seen each other for years, finding a leisurely afternoon to chat over afternoon tea.

"Well, at the time, I just didn't want her subconscious to remember what I looked like, and this was the only still from the movie in the therapy room."

Actually, thinking about it, the Blair Witch Project is both fantastical and dark, thrilling and terrifying, which perfectly suits my needs. Zhao Jingshu spoke extremely calmly, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"After you fed Zhang Zhipeng medicine at Li Shiman's house, he directly saw what Li Shiman looked like when she was six years old, so subconsciously he was deeply impressed by that image?"

Zhao Jingshu smiled faintly: "Not entirely. Later, when he fell ill, the doctor recommended him to my clinic for psychological treatment. After learning that Li Shiman's family had moved abroad, I reinforced the image of Li Shiman's mother."

The woman was ruthless. Wenjie's eyes turned cold as he sat down on the chair opposite the sofa.

That chair was reserved for the psychologist; Zhao Jingshu usually sat in it.

After Wenjie settled down, he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and exuded a somewhat unrestrained and carefree aura.

"You put hallucinogens in my food?"

Hehe, Zhao Jingshu smiled, blinked, and said with a rather smug expression:

"Not only did they drug you, they also hypnotized you."

Hypnosis?

Wenjie tried hard to recall, guessing it was when he looked at the wall clock in the hotel, his eyelids grew heavy, and he fell asleep on the table...

No wonder she knows so much about me!

Having asked all the necessary questions, Wenjie stood up and politely waved goodbye to Zhao Jingshu.

"Thank you for today's counseling. I feel that I don't need counseling anymore."

"Of course you need it, you're quite ill!"

"Thanks for reminding me!"

After saying that, Wenjie walked towards the door of the room.

"I've answered all of your questions, but I've only asked one question that you haven't answered yet."

Zhao Jingshu was referring to Wenjie's shocked remark when he first entered the room: "How is that possible?"

Wenjie paused, turned slightly to the side, and said, "Let's ask another question. I'll definitely answer it."

Did you record the conversation that day?

Upon hearing this question, Wenjie curled the corners of his lips into a mischievous smile: "No."

I knew it wasn't there!

Zhao Jingshu was annoyed for a moment, but then she looked around the room... everything she had achieved today might actually be thanks to not recording that day!

She smiled and pulled her arm off the sofa armrest, placing it on her knee.

"Then why are you getting involved in what happened back then? They're all strangers to you. Don't tell me that Li Shiman is your fiancée."

"..."

Wenjie ignored her, turned around, opened the door, and strode outside.

As he walked, he suddenly froze on the spot, then ran back quickly, flung open the door, and asked urgently, "Did you give psychological treatment to a patient named Jia Nan?"

Zhao Jingshu had gotten up from the sofa and stood in the room, stretching her arms and legs. Suddenly, she saw the door being pushed open, and Wenjie had returned.

She paused for a moment, then said politely, "I'm sorry, this involves other people's privacy, I can't answer that."

Wenjie's face was frosty, and his extremely low pressure pressed down on Zhao Jingshu from afar, quickly turning the entire room into an ice cellar.

Under Wenjie's cold gaze, Zhao Jingshu flinched slightly, but only slightly.

"He modified your hallucinogenic drug formula. You used it to treat patients' mental illnesses, but he used it to kill people!"

Zhao Jingshu's face darkened, and she lowered her eyes.

After Wenjie left that day, she remained standing there, her face ashen, for a very long time.

……

Wen Jie left Zhao Jingshu's psychological clinic, and Xiao Wang followed behind him, whispering, "Wen... Brother Wen, are we going to Huahai International now?"

"No"

"Huh? No... not going to Huahai International? But General Manager Wen gave me those instructions this morning!" Xiao Wang was a little embarrassed.

Wenjie glanced at him and said, "Take me somewhere first, then go to Huahai. I'll take responsibility if my dad asks."

Xiao Wang then grinned and said with a simple, honest smile, "Okay!"

"Brother Wen, where are we going?"

"Second Precinct"

For some reason, Wenjie felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart when he said those words.

The two remained silent the entire way.

At first, Xiao Wang would occasionally say a few words to Wenjie, but after realizing that Wenjie didn't react no matter what he said, he wisely shut his mouth.

It would take about an hour and a half to drive from Beichen Huanyu Building to the ** branch office located at the intersection of Xinxing Road and Dehua Street in the East District. During that hour and a half, Wenjie kept looking out the window.

Watching the fleeting shadows of the trees, a sudden sense of sorrow over the passing of life arose within me.

Humans are sometimes quite perverse; the less they have, the more they want...

I deserve it.

While driving, Xiao Wang would sneak a peek in the rearview mirror when he stopped at a red light. He saw Wenjie sitting stiffly in the back seat, a gentle look in his eyes and brows, constantly colliding with the rapidly receding scenery outside the window.

The silhouettes of the trees, tall and short, and their branches stretching out in all directions, reflected on the car window, tracing varying shades across Wenjie's face...

For some reason, I feel a kind of inexplicable heartache.

He simply turned his attention away and focused on driving.

By the time they arrived at the Second Precinct, it was lunchtime. The car turned into the precinct's courtyard and stopped. Wenjie remained in the same position, watching the uniformed staff members go to the canteen in twos and threes to get their meals.

That short stretch of road from the office area to the cafeteria went from quiet to bustling, and then back to quiet.

"Brother Wen?"

Xiao Wang wanted to remind Wenjie that since they had come looking for someone, why didn't they go down and look for them?

Seeing that Wenjie didn't say anything, they had no choice but to continue waiting.

Soon, a Jetta pulled up and a man in a suit and tie got out.

Wenjie's heart jumped into his throat. He watched the man carrying the lunchbox walk step by step towards the office building, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Immediately afterward, a slender figure skipped excitedly out of the office building...

Yang Shanshan is still so beautiful! A fascinated smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, Yang Shanshan jogged towards the man and took the lunchbox from his hand.

The two walked into the office building, chatting and laughing.

"Drive!" Wenjie said coldly.
