Chapter 66 -65: Something Feels Strange

Under the eager and expectant gaze of Wenyan, Wan Jian didn’t immediately give an answer.

Instead, he asked, “I just saw that young woman too. That day in the supermarket, it seemed like you were together. What exactly is the relationship between you two?”

“……” She had thought she would hear an answer, but instead, he started by asking questions.

Wenyan slightly furrowed her brows, “Uncle Wan, didn’t you already say that when you were downstairs? You said you didn’t want to get involved in this matter, so why are you asking about our relationship now?”

Wan Jian touched his head, “Do you think I really want to get involved? You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but can you tell me what the relationship is between that young woman and the woman lying in the hospital bed?”

Wenyan shook her head, “Actually, I was hoping you could answer that question for me.”

“Alright, alright. I don’t want to waste too much time on this issue either. Let me just tell you, if the two of them are mother and daughter, then I can be sure that the owner of the garment factory I saw in my hometown six or seven years ago is the woman on the hospital bed.

“In fact, if you asked me to recognize the woman on the hospital bed alone, I would still be a bit unsure because this woman is too skinny, her face is all bones, and she looks quite disfigured.

“If you want me to give you a yes or no answer, I really wouldn’t dare to be a hundred percent certain. But with those two women together, there’s no doubt about it. The people I saw back then were definitely the mother and daughter pair.

“Just tell me, are the two of them family?”

“Alright,” Wenyan nodded, “If Uncle Wan says so, then I understand. Thank you for today, let’s just leave it at that for now.”

“Sure thing,” Wan Jian laughed heartily and shook his phone, “If there’s another chance to make money like this in the future, remember to look for me!”

Wenyan smiled politely, “Okay, as long as you don’t go missing again, Uncle Wan.”

The two parted ways, one after the other, leaving the emergency exit.

Soon, Wenyan returned to the ward.

Su Yang asked her softly, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Why did you take so long?”

Wenyan told a little white lie, “No! I felt a bit thirsty after using the restroom, so I went to buy a bottle of mineral water to drink, and that’s why I came back late.”

Su Yang nodded and said, “The doctor came by just now; he said Aunt Zhao needs to rest. It’s time for us to go.”

Wenyan made an ‘oh’ sound and immediately got up to greet the woman on the hospital bed.

“Aunt Zhao, sorry for disturbing you today. We’ll be leaving now. Please rest well, and I wish you a speedy recovery.”

Zhao Jing on the hospital bed smiled, looking exceptionally gentle and amiable.

“Thank you, my child. It was kind of you to make the trip. Let Zhirou see you out.”

“No need,” said Su Yang, “Zhirou just came back from a business trip abroad, and you two haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let her spend more time with you.”

After some refusals, Shen Zhirou escorted Su Yang and Wenyan to the ward’s door.

And from the time they returned to the ward until they left, Wenyan noticed that Shen Zhirou’s adoptive father, Wu Peng, had not shown up again.

The mother and daughter quickly took the elevator downstairs.

Just as they got to their car, Su Yang suddenly exclaimed.

“Look at my poor memory, I left my phone in the ward. Sigh, I must be getting muddle-headed, and I’m not even that old yet!”

“Not old at all, my mom looks young, and even young people often forget things like this.” Wenyan opened the car door for Su Yang and said, “I’ll go back and get it. You rest in the car for a while, I’ll be back soon.”

Wenyan quickly returned to the doorway of Zhao Jing’s ward.

Because a seed of suspicion had already been planted in her mind, she didn’t knock and enter right away.

Instead, she quietly stood at the door of the ward, engaging in the sneaky act of eavesdropping.

This time, Shen Zhirou’s adoptive father, Wu Peng, had returned.

There were just the three of them in the ward.

Zhao Jing on the hospital bed looked listless, a stark contrast to her welcoming smile from before.

Shen Zhirou was frowning deeply, with a stern face, looking very serious.

And the one with the most dramatic reaction was Wu Peng.

At first, he said a few words that Wenyan could not clearly hear through the door.

But it seemed that the more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and his voice gradually grew louder.

Thus, Wenyan could hear clearly now.

She heard Wu Peng say, “She’s obviously starting to suspect, we must leave immediately. We can’t delay going abroad any longer!”

Who is suspecting?

Why must they leave immediately?

Unfortunately, there was no more to be heard after that.

After whispering among themselves for a moment, Wu Peng fell completely silent.

Wenyan waited outside the door for a while longer, and, seeing no new developments, she left the hospital room on tiptoes.

Then she took out her cell phone and dialed Su Yang’s number, as a way to signal to the people in the room that she was about to come in and get the phone.

The three people in the hospital room were startled by the ringing of Su Yang’s cell phone.

Shen Zhirou glanced at it and said, “It’s from Wenyan, probably because Su Yang left her phone here and asked her to come and get it. In a minute, you guys must not slip up in your speech.”

Therefore, when Wenyan knocked and entered the room, she was still greeted with smiles.

–

After retrieving the phone, she and her daughter did not go straight home.

Instead, they went for a full body SPA.

Su Yang took Wenyan for some pampering to take care for her having spent two months in the rugged countryside.

During the massage, Su Yang also called Shen Jingxiu to ask him to come home for dinner after work that evening.

Shen Jingxiu was perhaps the most obedient of Su Yang’s four sons. If his mother specially called him home, he normally wouldn’t refuse unless he had other engagements.

After returning home, Wenyan dove straight into her bedroom.

She booted up her long-unused laptop and began searching online for missing person cases in Bai Mountain area, H Province.

However, her search turned up nothing.

She then started looking online for information about Wu Peng and Zhao Jing and the garment factory they owned.

The legal representative of the factory was Zhao Jing, which matched the information Su Yang had shown her earlier.

But while searching for Wu Peng, Wenyan came across a person named Wu Xiaopeng.

Wenyan couldn’t be sure if this Wu Xiaopeng was the same person as Wu Peng.

Yet coincidentally, he had registered a leather and a food factory in the same year that Zhao Jing registered the garment factory.

And four years ago, which was after Shen Zhirou returned to the Shen Family, both of those factories had declared bankruptcy.

Of course, this could simply be a coincidence, but Wenyan had a strange feeling about it.

At the same time, she knew that, acting like a headless fly searching online by herself, it would be very difficult to make any progress.

But who could help her?

Involve Shen Yuan and Su Yang at this point was not appropriate; dragging them into this confusion before she had a clear understanding of the situation would only complicate matters.

While she was pondering this, Mrs. Zhang suddenly knocked on the door.

“Miss Wenyan, the lady asks you to come downstairs,” she said.
