Soul Patch

Chapter 213 Suicide Out of Guilt (Bonus Chapter 2 from the Silver Alliance)

"Oh?"

This surprised Zhang Meng greatly.

It is said that the police are conducting a thorough search of M City for this person who impersonated a cleaner, but have not found any clues or whereabouts of this person after leaving Huahai Building.

How come Xiao Wen could just glance at the photo I took and immediately reveal the true identity of the prime suspect?

Zhang Meng glanced at Wen Jie; she was beginning to take an interest in the man in the passenger seat.

I had heard that Wen Tianyi of Huahai International had a precious son, and he had always prevented this talented boy from participating in the operation of Huahai, which naturally led to various speculations from the outside world.

Only a few people felt that this was a protection of family privacy; most others maliciously slandered the boy, saying things like he was sick or mentally unstable.

Having met him today, I must say, this young master of the Wen family is truly... extraordinary!

"How did you know?" Zhang Meng tilted her head and smiled playfully.

Wenjie sniffed, rubbed his face, and his eyes became deep and melancholy: "It was just a coincidence that we met."

Zhang Meng pulled up a photo on her phone, examined it for a while, and said, "She's just average-looking. Is she good enough to catch Young Master Wen's eye?"

As she spoke, Zhang Meng looked at Wen Jie with great interest. This young master Wen was huddled in the passenger seat of her car, his long legs looking rather awkward.

He has a full forehead, a high nose bridge, and smooth facial features, and from the side he looks a bit like a boy from a Japanese anime.

Despite the commotion caused by the police, he did not exhibit any strong emotional fluctuations or go berserk.

He remained calm and composed, exuding an air of composure, and his every move was unhurried.

However... there seemed to be a faint sense of loneliness in his aura.

It's heartbreaking!

"What's there to feel sorry for?" Zhang Meng's pink lips curved into a beautiful smile, her pearly teeth slightly parted, and she said with a smile, "Just kidding, don't mind it."

Wenjie turned his head away and focused on the scenery outside the window.

Zhang Meng understood that at this moment, this young master Wen was only concerned with the case: "Have you told the police about her identity?"

"no"

"Could you help me find out where she lives..." Wenjie paused mid-sentence, turned to look at Zhang Meng, and pondered for a moment before asking, "Where do you think we can find that suspect?"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have needed to bail you out."

Yes, you're right. Now that the prime suspect has been caught, he'll probably be cleared of suspicion.

I guess the police are looking for Liu Qingqing right now, so where could she be?
Will Zhang Zhipeng know the situation?

"Attorney Zhang, could you please help me investigate another person..." Wenjie said earnestly to Zhang Meng.

"……All right!"

Lawyers naturally have their methods, and investigating an individual is not a difficult task.

She sent Zhang Zhipeng's information to her assistant and instructed, "Send it to me as soon as you find it."

After sending a WeChat voice message to her assistant, Zhang Meng looked at the Huahai Building, which was just ahead at the intersection, and said, "We're almost at the company, now..."

She glanced at her phone; it was 6:30.

“Mr. Wen, would you like to say hello to Mr. Wen, I mean your father, and tell him that he’ll be home late after dinner?” Zhang Meng suggested.

"No need, I'll add you on WeChat. Once you find Zhang Zhipeng's information, please forward it to me, thank you!" Wenjie said to Zhang Meng with a smile.

“…Okay!” Zhang Meng nodded hesitantly.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of the building. Wenjie opened the door to get out, then thought for a moment and turned back to say, "Thank you for today." For reasons unknown, he added, "It's so late, I'm sorry I kept you from your date with your boyfriend!"

"Haha, don't be so polite," Zhang Meng laughed heartily. "Also, if you want to ask if someone has a boyfriend, just ask directly. I don't have a boyfriend. I'm too busy with work to even think about dating."

Recalling the previous love-hate relationship between Zhang Meng and Huang Dongheng, which resulted in both of them being severely injured, Wenjie smiled faintly and said, "Not bad, this is fine too!"

He turned and walked towards Huahai Building.

The image of Huang Dongheng driving his Jetta and carrying lunch at the entrance of the Second Branch of the Public Security Bureau flashed through my mind.

Zhang Mengzhen is truly fortunate; after her life trajectory changed, all her memories were erased.

Thinking this, he reached into his pants pocket and touched the yellow pills his mother had forced him to take.

What exactly is the effect of this medicine?
Will you forget some things?
Will it still help him remember some things?
But given his current state, there's probably nothing he wants to remember clearly.

He took the elevator directly to the top floor, to the general manager's office.

I just came out of here a few hours ago, and now that I'm stepping back in, my mindset is very different.

Not only because someone died in Huahai, but this person was none other than the very person he had tried so hard to save yesterday. That person had been searching for him for years, wanting to thank him for saving their life.

Fortunately, the two met here today, and Li Shiman fulfilled this wish before her death.

Wen Tianyi sat on the sofa and watched Wen Jie come in from the door. He waved to him and then pointed to the sofa seat opposite him.

Wenjie walked over slowly with his head down and sat down: "Dad, were you waiting for me?"

“Well, sometimes it’s best not to talk about things at home, or your mother will worry.” Wen Tianyi sighed and asked, “Wenjie, is Li Shiman’s death related to you?”

Wenjie shook his head and said, "No."

It's no wonder my father asked this question, since such a thing happened on my very first day in Huahai.

"Wenjie, Dad's getting old. The company and the shares will be yours sooner or later anyway. I know that with your personality, you don't care about having more or less wealth, and as for me, I care even less."

Wen Tianyi spoke slowly, his face seemed to have more wrinkles, and he looked very tired.

"I heard before that you and Li Shiman were quite close. I've never heard of any other girl entering your heart, so I thought your relationship with Li Shiman was special."

But in the blink of an eye, she was killed. Dad was worried about you...

“Dad, I’m fine.” Wenjie interrupted his father:

"Attorney Zhang said the police have found a new suspect, and I believe they will solve the case soon. Don't worry about it, let's hurry home."

"Good, good, good! I'm relieved to see you're alright." Wen Tianyi got up, walked to Wenjie's side, and patted his son's shoulder.

When he patted Wenjie on the shoulder, he suddenly realized that his son was actually taller than him, and he nodded approvingly.

Wenjie's phone rang at that moment; it was a message forwarded by Zhang Meng:

Zhang Meng sent over Zhang Zhipeng's address and phone number.

Wenjie replied with a "thank you" emoji.

Zhang Meng then sent a screenshot to Wenjie.

Wenjie was stunned when he saw the title. He clicked on the screenshot and quickly browsed the contents.

Wen Tianyi had already reached the door and wanted to urge Wen Jie on, but when he turned around and saw Wen Jie staring at his phone with a serious expression, he simply stopped and waited at the door.

After a dozen seconds, Wenjie lowered his hand, looked at his father at the door, and said:
"The police have just released a statement saying that the murderer who killed Li Shiman committed suicide out of guilt."
