It’s Wen Can’s cell phone.

During the hug, Ye Kong could feel slight vibrations coming from Wen Can's trouser pocket, along with an ordinary ringtone that broke the silence in the room.

But none of them moved.

Every hug makes people want time to stay at this moment forever.

The same is true for Ye Kong.

She felt that the person who called was very tactless and ruined the atmosphere, but when the voice hung up once and rang again in less than five seconds, a subtle sense of foreboding arose in her heart.

When she subconsciously let go, Wen Can had already taken out his phone.

Ye Kong lowered his head and saw the incoming call. It was Xiaofei.

"Hey."

Wen Can answered the phone as usual.

His cell phone must have had some special treatment, so Ye Kong couldn't hear a single sound even though he was so close to it.

She only saw Wen Can's expression, which had finally become relaxed, changing little by little.

The thick fog that had lingered around him for years gathered together again, condensing on his eyebrows and eyes bit by bit, until the thawed lake water under his eyes froze again, turning into an ice field that was even colder and more brutal than before.

It's getting dark outside the window.

Wen Can listened to the call in silence, then turned around and touched Ye Kong's face.

"Something happened. I need to go to the police station."

His tone was still gentle, but the emotion that made people feel soft-hearted and sad a few minutes ago was suppressed without any expression.

Ye Kong grabbed his hand: "I'll go with you."

"It's late." Wen Can glanced at the time, "You should go to bed - I'll come find you when I'm done."

The voice was very soft, but it expressed the decision.

No matter how gentle he looks, at heart he is a ruthless man who was able to build a large company like Xingfei under the noses of everyone in the Wen family within a few years. I don't know how many decisions he made and how much blood and sweat he shed behind the scenes.

Ye Kong did not insist. He just watched him turn around, grab his coat, put it on, and hurried downstairs.

She listened to the footsteps all the way downstairs until they were out the door - it was obvious that he was in a hurry, but even so, the sound of him opening and closing the door was very gentle, and from the sound of the glass door shaking, he must have checked whether the door was closed.

Ye Kong imagined him closing the door carefully with no expression on his face, then looked up at the sky and exhaled, "This is what it's like to like someone - you can always find a place you like more anytime, anywhere."

The car came and drove away.

The two-story coffee shop was brightly lit but extremely quiet.

Ye Kong turned to look at the painting. She really spent a long time observing it and imagining Chi Wandao's expression and posture. Unfortunately, Wen Can hadn't even taken a close look at it.

and……

She pulled the painting out a little, revealing another painting hidden underneath.

"There are several more, but I haven't had time to look at them yet. I plan to draw a separate story for Chi Wandao, and only let him read it. After he finishes reading it, he can burn it in front of the grave. I haven't had time to tell you yet."

She sighed, walked to the window with her hands behind her back, and looked out at the endless darkness of the night: "I'm really curious, what happened again?"

She stood there for a long time, the hands of the clock ticking, and the sound of the girl standing still and in a daze was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling window.

Finally, the pair of dark pupils suddenly turned: "If you don't let me go, I won't go? I'm not such an obedient person."

·

The car sped through the night.

Wen Can sat in the back seat and listened to the driver's nervous words: "We found out that they were missing in the afternoon, but according to our investigation, they actually disappeared yesterday. But based on the family's schedule, it's normal for them to not go out for a day or two, because as long as Chen Yu is not at home, his wife and children always rely on takeout or stockpiled food to survive, and they live very carefully."

Wen Can said nothing, but just kept operating his phone and sending messages to people.

The silence made the driver even more nervous. "But Secretary Fei said that maybe Chen Yu had anticipated this day, so he told his wife and children how to escape in advance. Maybe they just don't want to live under control. They have no other plans, and they can't have any other plans."

Wen Can remained silent. He looked up at the gradually cooling street outside the window and said, "Drive faster."

"Yes."

Wen Can made a phone call, and after the other end picked up and made a dazed sound of being woken up, he asked, "How is Chen Yu?"

"What do you mean? You suddenly ask me such a weird question in the middle of the night..." The man's tone was full of resentment, but he still yawned and said, "What else can I do? Just lock him up. A prisoner like him whose wife, children, parents and family are all abroad, doesn't even have anyone to visit him after he is arrested. What else can I do?"

"Call immediately. I want to know the result now."

"Hey, you—do you know how long I've been busy on this case for you and how many nights I've stayed up? I was finally able to get some rest today after your father was arrested, and you want to order me around again after just one phone call? Do you know I've only slept for a few hours these days?"

"immediately."

Wen Can didn't even blink, and his tone didn't fluctuate at all.

But in this dark night, an indescribable sense of terrible oppression was transmitted to the person on the other side through the radio waves.

There was a rustling in the silence, and the person on the other end made a call with another mobile phone.

"Hey Xiao Yang, how's the interrogation going?"

"Oh, that's right. After all, he's a pervert who has played the role of an affectionate widow for seven years. It's normal for him to be stubborn. Thank you for your hard work. I called to ask about Chen Yu's situation. Is he honest?"

"Yeah, okay. Hey, you're busy then. Brother Lin will treat everyone to a meal some other day."

beep--

The call ended and the voice got closer.

"Look, everything is alright, right? Why are you so suspicious?"

"you sure?"

"Sure, Chen Yu is staying here obediently. Don't worry, he won't run away. It's a different era now. You can't still worry about him escaping from prison?"

"..."

The car passed under the overpass.

Wen Can's face was submerged in a long shadow. Even if the driver looked at the rearview mirror tremblingly, he could not see his extremely tense jaw.

"I'm not worried about him escaping from prison," he pursed his lips tightly, and every word came out from between his teeth with a hint of cold air, "I'm worried that he will change his confession."

The driver who had been listening was startled.

The person on the other end of the phone was also stunned, and after a while he said, "This is impossible? Why?"
