In the car.

Deng Wei asked, "What exactly do you want to do? Tell me."

Wen Shengsheng didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "Deng Wei, can I trust you one hundred percent?"

Deng Wei paused, glancing into Wen Shengsheng's eyes through the rearview mirror.

“Of course,” he said earnestly.

"Okay." Wen Shengsheng's serious expression softened slightly.

"I know that both Brother Yu and Gong Xiaochen are helping me in secret."

“But Gong Xiaochen is not made of iron. Because of me, he was injured when he fought with Xi Jianguo, and he almost got into trouble at Fenghua Guoyuan.”

“It is I who want revenge and to overturn the verdict, not him. I cannot stand him charging into battle, shedding blood and tears, while I sit back and reap the benefits.”

Deng Wei sighed softly, "I understand you."

Wen Shengsheng shook her head. "No, you don't understand."

She gazed at the distant sky, her eyes cool and distant.

“I’ve already died once before, and I’m lucky to be alive now. So, I cherish my life, but I’m also willing to risk everything.”

"The mine issue could very well be a breakthrough point. I absolutely cannot waste this opportunity. I must tear this opening completely! Crush Meng Hao and get Xi Maokun pinned down!"

Hearing Wen Shengsheng's cold-blooded and resolute words, Deng Wei's hand trembled.

“What do you want to do?” he asked.

“Isn’t Meng Hao looking for me?” Wen Shengsheng sneered. “Since he has guarded the entire mine so tightly, why don’t I get involved and be the knife that tears open the cracks?”

Deng Wei's pupils contracted slightly as he stared blankly at Wen Shengsheng's expressionless face through the rearview mirror.

Because of people like Gong Xiaochen and Xi Yu.

He always felt that although Wen Shengsheng was very intelligent and insightful, she was still gentle and weak at heart and needed to be protected.

But at this moment, Deng Wei realized that those might just be appearances.

The real Wen Shengsheng is very thoughtful and not just a submissive woman who only depends on others.

She was ruthless and decisive.

This applies to others as well as to oneself.

Thinking of this, Deng Wei suddenly smiled playfully, his handsome face carrying a hint of wickedness, which was very alluring.

"Sure, if you want to go big, there's no need to be timid."

He looked at Wen Shengsheng through the rearview mirror and said, "Just like you said before, take bigger steps."

“However,” Deng Wei paused for a moment, “since you’ve decided to play this game, you need to deal with the aftermath first.”

Wen Shengsheng asked, puzzled, "What tail?"

“These past few days, Gong Xiaochen has had Du Yuan and his men keep watch over you in the shadows, and they’re still following you right now.”

"What!?" Now it was Wen Shengsheng's turn to be surprised. "How come you didn't tell me about something so big?"

Deng Wei raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I already say that?"

After saying that, he turned Wen Shengsheng's head, which was trying to look back, and said, "Fasten your seatbelt and sit still."

Wen Shengsheng said "Oh," fastened her seatbelt, and held onto the safety handles above the car window with both hands.

The streets were bustling with traffic in the afternoon.

The black Hummer, which was stationary waiting at a traffic light, suddenly went berserk and drove against traffic out of the lane.

As Deng Wei shifted gears and accelerated, the tall car moved nimbly along the lane, and with each rapid movement, the taut lines of the car seemed to be stretched.

In the blink of an eye, they left the two cars following behind far behind.

Du Yuan, who was following behind, was stunned for a moment.

When I opened the car window and looked ahead, all I could smell was Hummer exhaust fumes.

Years of experience in the industry made him sense something was wrong. He quickly drove in the direction the Hummer had gone while calling Gong Xiaochen.

Upon receiving the call, Gong Xiaochen immediately stood up from his chair.

"Deng Wei suddenly dumped you guys in his car?" he asked in surprise. "Are there any of Meng Hao's men nearby?"

"No, Deng Wei and I met a few days ago. He knows us. When he takes Miss Wen out, he always makes sure to slow down so we can keep up," Du Yuan told the truth.

"First, follow the direction Deng Wei left in and see which way they are heading," Gong Xiaochen ordered.

He walked out of the president's office while making a phone call.

......

Huo Ling and Song Jing's new residence is near the company.

The two had just entered the apartment and hadn't even had time to unpack when the apartment door was suddenly kicked open from the outside.

The henchmen who had been guarding outside the apartment were escorted into the living room.

Led by Chen Ze, a group of bodyguards in black entered the apartment with an imposing presence.

Behind him stood a cold and imposing Gong Xiaochen.

"Young Master Gong!?" Huo Ling was already on high alert, but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person who arrived. "What are you doing? I thought Meng Hao's men had come."

"Where is Wen Shengsheng?" Gong Xiaochen asked, suppressing his anger.

Huo Ling and Song Jing were stunned and exchanged a glance.

Song Jing said, "Didn't she go to find you? We discussed it at our residence during the day, that we should separate for a while. She said she was going to find you, but didn't she go?"

"She's here." Gong Xiaochen's dark eyes swept sharply across the two people in front of him, trying to discern whether they were lying from their eyes.

"But then he left, saying he had something to discuss with the two of you!"

Seeing Gong Xiaochen's gloomy face, Huo Ling's heart skipped a beat.

"broken!"

He gave a low shout and took out his phone to call Wen Shengsheng and Deng Wei.

Wen Shengsheng's phone is switched off, and no one can get through to her.

Deng Wei's connection can still be established.

The phone rang for about ten seconds before Deng Wei answered it.

"What's wrong?" His voice sounded calm and lazy.

"Where's Sheng Sheng? What's wrong with you two! Why didn't you go find Young Master Gong!?" With Wen Sheng Sheng's safety at stake, Huo Ling dared not slack off in the slightest, and his voice rose.

Faced with Huo Ling's anger, Deng Wei showed no reaction and calmly said, "The plan has been changed at the last minute. Tell everyone to stand by and wait for my instructions."

"Deng Wei, you..."

Before Huo Ling could finish speaking, Gong Xiaochen reached out and snatched the phone away.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Give the phone to Wen Shengsheng!"

Deng Wei paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Gong Xiaochen, you are not my employer, and your words have no effect on me."

After speaking, Deng Wei hung up the phone decisively, showing no respect to Gong Xiaochen.

The veins on Gong Xiaochen's neck suddenly bulged.

He looked at Huo Ling and asked, enunciating each word clearly, "What plan!"

Seeing the murderous glint in Gong Xiaochen's eyes, Huo Ling suppressed his anxiety and said in a deep voice.

"Since you've managed to find this place, you probably know everything."

“We found out about Xi Maokun’s private mine. Sheng Sheng was convinced that there was something wrong with the mine and wanted to find evidence of Meng Hao and Xi Maokun’s illegal activities so that she could call the police and have Meng Hao arrested.”

“Meng Hao has been looking for Sheng Sheng these past few days, so we persuaded her to go find you, and she agreed.”

"But judging from Deng Wei's tone just now, it seems that the two of them changed their minds at the last minute and wanted to do something."

Gong Xiaochen's anger surged as he listened to Huo Ling's story while recalling Wen Shengsheng's appearance that morning.

I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered her gentle smile before she left.

Immediately, his face turned pale.

My heart ached as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

At that time.

Was Wen Shengsheng saying goodbye to him...?
