Soul Patch

Chapter 232 Why did you get on the bus?

"Mr. Wang? What news? What gossip? I don't understand what you're talking about!"

The other person was very polite, but also very cold.

Wang Hui hung up the phone in frustration.

Old Jia makes his living from this business, and he's also very good at understanding the pros and cons.

It seems something must have happened that forced Lao Jia not only to not take any photos, but also to try every means to distance himself from the matter.

Since Lao Jia said this to himself, he probably said the same thing to others.

This put his mind at ease a little; failure was better than being exposed!
Old Jia's identity as a journalist made Wang Hui afraid to fall out with him. Otherwise, if he bribed a journalist to expose Wen Jie's affairs, he might end up in the spotlight and ruin his reputation.

"Oh, you're all here!" Wang Hui walked towards them, deliberately stretching as if he had just woken up.

"I just came out!" Zhang Yang quickly interjected.

Bai Yu snorted and didn't reply: Zhang Yang is really acting innocent after getting the benefit!

Wang Hui's gaze fell on Wenjie, who was still drinking a beverage. The bottle was covered with small water droplets, indicating that it had been chilled.

He understood perfectly well why Wenjie wanted to drink iced beverages; the effects of that medicine were kicking in, making his body feel like it was on fire.

Damn it... He didn't even manage to get a shot of this, he's really useless! He cursed Old Jia in his heart again.

That's what she was thinking, but on the surface she asked with great concern, "Wenjie, why are your clothes wet?"

Wenjie looked up at Wang Hui and saw that Wang Hui looked concerned, as if he really cared about him.

However, this kind of concern seems a bit awkward. Before, when someone in the dormitory made a fool of themselves, everyone would rush to criticize them, and the harsher the words, the more fun they had.

There was no ill intent on my part. It's best for friends to be straightforward with each other; being too fussy would only make things uncomfortable.

I remember once when Zhang Yang was in college, he was giving a big lecture and somehow managed to rip his pants in the crotch.

Coincidentally, Zhang Yang was wearing red underwear that day... He told the eldest brother to go back to the dormitory and get him his pants.

The eldest brother ignored him and turned around to tell Wenjie and Baiyu about it. The three of them laughed at him for an entire class period.

Finally, Wenjie went back to the dormitory to get him a pair of pants.

Throughout the rest of the semester, they would frequently ask Zhang Yang: "Are you wearing red underwear today?"

This joke, along with Wenjie's virginity joke, became a laughing stock in the dormitory, brought up frequently and becoming a source of amusement for everyone.

So if Wang Hui teased him like Bai Yu did, he wouldn't feel that strange feeling.

Bai Yu snorted twice, then put his arm around Wang Hui's neck and said, "Boss, why are you so effeminate?"

Wenjie looked at Bai Yu, a knowing smile appearing on his face: See, Bai Yu also felt that Wang Hui's words were awkward.

"I forgot to take off my clothes while showering," Wenjie replied indifferently.

Bai Yu looked at Wen Jie and gave him a smile that only the two of them could understand, as if to say: You learn fast!

His gaze quickly shifted from Wenjie to Wang Hui, and he said with a long face, "Boss, I'm so sorry. My girlfriend keeps checking up on me, so I haven't been able to do anything but answer the phone. When can we have some fun again? I'm free anytime, whatever you say, boss."

"Oh dear, I was caught off guard by this dog food!" Zhang Yang pouted and muttered unhappily.

"Mr. Wang, did you arrange for us to come here?" Wenjie seemed to have understood the implication in Bai Yu's words and asked without missing the opportunity.

Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Zhang Yang and said, "Isn't it all Zhang Yang who made the arrangements? I don't know anyone here."

"No problem, no problem!" Zhang Yang felt good after being indirectly praised by his boss.

He glanced at Wenjie and teased, "You're too fast, it's really tough. Look at your clothes! Thank goodness this one was given to me first."

Zhang Yang patted his pocket, revealing the pills that were in a sealed plastic bag.

"Thank you, then I'll leave it to you!" Wenjie smiled faintly, then changed the subject, saying, "I'm in a sorry state, and I'm not wearing any red underwear either."

Hahaha!
Bai Yu and Wang Hui both laughed along with Wen Jie! Rehashing old jokes has a special charm.

Zhang Yang's earlier smugness had vanished. Not wanting to be ridiculed, he pondered and said, "Wenjie, you're so fast, you probably got sprayed out of the shower as soon as you walked in, Mr. Chu!"

The others started laughing at the joke about Mr. Chu again.

The effects of the medicine on Wenjie have mostly worn off, and he no longer feels very uncomfortable.

As the group walked toward the door, Wenjie saw what appeared to be a dark shadow flash by in a corner on one side of the building.

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and none of them looked into the dark corner, so they didn't notice anything.

The designated driver arrived quickly, and Wenjie and Wang Hui saw Bai Yu and Zhang Yang off.

Wenjie had hitched a ride with Wang Hui when he arrived. Wang Hui tugged at Wenjie's arm and said, "Come with me, let the driver take you home first!"

Wenjie said, "No, no, my home is in the north, and yours is in the west, they're not even in the same direction. Besides, I drank too much water, it's affecting my kidneys, I need to go to the restroom first. I'll take a taxi home myself in a bit, you go ahead!"

Wang Hui stopped talking, afraid that if he said too much, Wenjie would think he was being fussy and cause unnecessary trouble.

Wenjie watched Wang Hui's car drive away, then walked around from the main entrance of the Human World Immortal Pavilion to the back of the building.

He was unfamiliar with the place and didn't expect to find anything suspicious, but when he walked to the back of the building, he saw a person standing at the back door.

Wenjie immediately recognized him as the man who had barged in.

In the darkness, the man glanced at Wenjie, stubbed out his cigarette, and turned to leave.

"Are you driving? Can you give me a ride?" Wenjie spoke first, as if he had bumped into an old acquaintance.

"it is good!"

The other party answered very readily.

Wenjie had just sensed that this person was waiting for him, and now he was even more certain of his guess.

The two of them got into the man's car parked by the roadside without any hesitation.

Wenjie looked at where the car was parked and said, "We're here early!"

The man merely pursed the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wenjie realized that this person was very tight-lipped and it seemed difficult to get anything out of him.

"Are you waiting for me?"

"Um"

"Was someone arranged for you to be at the entrance today?" Wenjie asked directly, his eyes darting around.

"I already mentioned that I took the wrong room key."

Who are you? A reporter? Or a police officer?

"You have a lot of questions."

The man drove steadily, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Wenjie simply stopped talking.

The man seemed to enjoy the silent atmosphere; he turned on the car's music and selected a soft song.

In the quiet of the night, two strangers sat side by side in silence, listening to soothing music...

It feels a bit strange, but it's also quite classy.

As the song ended, the man spoke: "Why did you get in my car? Do you know where I'm going?"
