Accompanied by this uneasy and complicated feeling.

Wen Shengsheng knits at the company after get off work at noon and knits in her bedroom when she returns to the villa in the evening.

I rushed to finish knitting the entire scarf by noon on Friday.

Although her needlework skills weren't very proficient, Gong Xiaochen had no shortage of food, clothing, or daily necessities, so making something for him by hand was the best way to express her feelings.

"Sheng Sheng, why are you still knitting a scarf here? Why don't you go up and keep the boss company?" Sister Li from the next table teased.

Wen Shengsheng paused in adjusting her scarf. "Boss?"

Seeing Wen Shengsheng's surprised expression, Sister Li asked suspiciously, "Yeah, don't you usually go to the 28th floor to have lunch and rest with him at noon?"

“Yes,” Wen Shengsheng nodded. “He said he was going on a business trip recently, so I didn’t go.”

Sister Li's face stiffened, and her expression immediately turned somewhat annoyed.

Wen Shengsheng pursed her lips, realizing something. "Sister Li, did you see him at the company today?"

Sister Li looked embarrassed. "I went to the minister's office this morning to sign something..."

Hear the news.

Wen Shengsheng thought she would be angry or upset, but she wasn't.

She simply clenched her fists, slowly calmed her breathing, and then picked up the knitted scarf and went to the 28th floor.

The 28th floor remained empty, with the president's office door wide open.

Wen Shengsheng walked slowly to the door and then stopped in a daze.

She found herself afraid to face Gong Xiaochen's cold face, afraid to see the disgust in his eyes, afraid that he would say he didn't like her as much anymore.

Even though the two of them had been through a lot, she still lacked confidence...

She didn't know how long she had been standing there.

Until a figure walked out of the office.

Chen Ze was clearly startled to see Wen Shengsheng suddenly appear there.

"Ms. Wen..."

He did indeed return, or perhaps he didn't even go to Haicheng; he was deliberately avoiding her.

Wen Shengsheng felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She bit her lip and handed the bag containing the scarf to Chen Ze.

“Tell Gong Xiaochen that you don’t want to see me. You don’t need to deliberately hide from me or make up some excuse about going on a business trip. I know my place.”

"Starting tonight, I won't be going back to Courtyard No. 7. Let him go back to his own home."

"I will no longer text or call him to bother him. He can let me know when he feels comfortable talking to me."

After speaking, Wen Shengsheng turned and left.

I won't say another word.

Chen Ze looked at the bag in his hand, his eyebrows furrowing.

He turned and walked back to the CEO's office.

Behind the large desk, Gong Xiaochen, who was about to pick up his pen to sign, sat stiffly in his office chair, a chilling aura emanating from him.

"Do I need to explain this to Miss Wen? I think she seems to have misunderstood something," Chen Ze said from the side.

Gong Xiaochen pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time before lowering his head to sign.

Chen Ze gently placed the bag that Wen Shengsheng had brought on his desk.

"This was brought by Miss Wen; it should be for you."

"You go out."

Gong Xiaochen didn't look up, focusing intently on the documents.

Chen Ze sighed inwardly.

after get off work.

Wen Shengsheng didn't go back to No. 7 Courtyard, nor did she want to pack her things. She simply asked Deng Wei to drive her to Huaguan Real Estate.

On the way there, Deng Wei said, "We've found someone at Wangfenggang. It's the old policeman who handled your parents' case back then. He retired many years ago and left the area. We only got news of him today."

Wen Shengsheng's eyes lit up. "Then can we go and find out what's going on from him?"

Deng Wei nodded, "That's exactly what I mean. The case file is one thing, but finding the people who handled the case at the time would make things clearer."

It's been a week, and there's still no news from Xi Jianguo.

Unexpectedly, when one door closes, another opens; Deng Wei has some good news.

Wen Shengsheng felt that she was one step closer to the truth.

The two had just parked their car in the basement of the Sungpo Building.

Song Jing suddenly called.

"What's wrong, cousin?"

"Sheng Sheng, did my dad ask you to meet him?" Song Jing's voice trembled, as if she was suppressing something.

"Yes, he texted me a couple of days ago, asking me to come over..."

Before Wen Shengsheng could finish speaking, Song Jing's broken sobs suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

"He committed suicide at home this afternoon!!!"

"He even left a suicide note!!!"

A loud bang echoed in Wen Shengsheng's mind.

The whole person froze in place.

After a long pause, she stiffly turned around and met Deng Wei's gaze.

"Let's go check the situation first." Deng Wei said calmly, pulling Wen Shengsheng into the car.

When the two arrived at Song Yufeng's house, the entire villa was in complete chaos.

Yellow and black striped police tape isolated the entire villa from the outside world.

The villa gate was wide open.

Several uniformed police officers, with serious expressions, hurried through the crowd.

Forensic experts and investigators, wearing masks and gloves, handled the scene professionally and cautiously.

Song Jing stood there, her face ashen, her eyes filled with terror and confusion.

Huo Ling comforted her from the side.

Upon seeing Wen Shengsheng arrive, Song Jing rushed over as if waking from a dream.

"Sheng Sheng, my dad won't commit suicide, right?"

"He was even planning to talk to you, how could he possibly commit suicide??"

“Someone must have killed him on purpose. Tell the police, tell them now.”

Severely injured, Song Jing was already somewhat incoherent.

Officer Liu, who was in charge of the case, came over.

"Are you Wen Shengsheng?"

Wen Shengsheng nodded and briefly explained her identity.

Song Jing has already reported the incident to the police, so the group needs to go to the police station.

Then Wen Shengsheng learned the whole story.

Recently, Song Yufeng and Song Jing have been dealing with Ren Su's funeral arrangements, and they have only just finished today.

In the afternoon, Song Jing went out to find Huo Ling.

I got home around 4 or 5 pm and then found that Song Yufeng had committed suicide in the bathtub, with a suicide note next to him.

The suicide note stated that he felt the pressure from family and career was too much to bear and he no longer wanted to live.

Song Jing understands her father. Even though he is very saddened by Ren Su's death, he would never commit suicide because of it!

So I called the police.

After the police cracked Song Yufeng's phone, they discovered that he had arranged to talk to Wen Shengsheng that evening.

So they called Wen Shengsheng over.

After a case is filed, it takes time to investigate, so at this stage we can only take statements and wait for the next step of the investigation or the autopsy report.

It was already eight or nine o'clock when everyone came out of the police station.

The night was incredibly dark, like an impenetrable net covering everyone.

Wen Shengsheng's expression was grave as she said to Huo Ling, "Brother-in-law, that day at Fenghua Guoyuan, Xi Jianguo told me at the end that my parents didn't die in a car accident. Song Yufeng and Ren Su know the inside story..."

"I know Song Yufeng won't tell me anything, so I've been trying to find a way to meet Xi Jianguo, but there's still no news..."

The four remained silent, exchanging glances with each other.

Finally, Deng Wei made a decisive decision, "Let's go find that old policeman now!"

The old policeman is currently in a place called Wu County, which is more than a thousand kilometers away from Beijing.

The four of them weren't really in the mood for food, so they just bought some random things to take in the car and set off.

The night was as dark as ink, thick and impenetrable.

Wen Shengsheng looked out the window with mixed feelings, but in the end she couldn't help but open her phone and send another message to Gong Xiaochen.

Have you gone back to Courtyard No. 7?

I'm going out of town this weekend and will be back in about two days.

【When I get back to Beijing, let's have a proper talk, okay?】

Even if you're going to sentence me to death, you should at least let me know why.

She stared at her phone screen.

A moment later, I suddenly noticed that the other person was typing... above their chat window.

Wen Shengsheng immediately gripped her phone tightly in alarm.

Suddenly, without warning, a bright light pierced through the car window and shone on her face like a sharp blade.

Wen Shengsheng turned her head and only had time to see a huge object crash into their car like a mountain crashing down on them.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting apart, exploded in my ears.

The whole world turned upside down as the Hummer carrying the four people tumbled uncontrollably down the mountain road into the abyss below.

A huge truck was parked on the mountain road.

Inside the driver's seat, the driver remained calm and composed, watching the Hummer disappear into the night with an icy expression.
