When Tong Jia heard these words, she inexplicably sighed with relief, but she also found it amusing. He had been searching for her for two years, and now she stood in front of him, yet he couldnât recognize her. Time and time again, she should have understood. She endured the scalpâs throbbing pain and said softly, âI donât know the Wanzhe youâre talking about. Please let me go, or Iâll call the police.â
âYouâre holding the ring I gave to Wanzhe, and youâre telling me you donât know her?â Han Xuâs eyes were icy, as if he intended to torture her.
Tong Jia bit her lip and remained silent.
Seeing that she refused to speak, Han Xu pushed her aside and ordered coldly, âTake her back.â If she would not speak willingly, he had ways to make her talk. After all, they hadnât finished what they started last time.
As Shen Qingyue exited Shen Junâs hospital room, she overheard a few nurses chatting at the nursesâ station.
âThat man just now had such a grand entrance! Itâs the first time Iâve seen so many bodyguards come to arrest someone. Could he be some bigshotâs spoiled wife?â
âCome on, youâve read too many novels. The womanâs mother has been in this buildingâs hospital for nearly half a year, and we havenât seen any wealthy people visiting. Besides, look at the womanâs appearance. Who from a wealthy family would be interested?â
âCould it be some criminal then? I heard someone called the police, but they came and went without saying anythingâ¦â
Listening to their conversation, Shen Qingyue approached them. âExcuse me, the woman youâre talking about, is she the relative of the patient in Room 515?â
A young nurse nodded, âItâs her, her faceâ¦â Realizing that it was inappropriate to speak like this in front of the client, the young nurse quickly changed her tone, âHer appearance is quite distinctive, I wonât forget it.â
Shen Qingyue understood and immediately had the hospitalâs surveillance footage checked. She couldnât believe her luck when she caught someone from Qin Zhenâs team deleting the surveillance footage. She dialed Qin Zhenâs number directly, âWhat do you mean? Why are you deleting the hospitalâs surveillance footage? Do you know Tong Jia? Or is the person who took Tong Jia today connected to you?â Based on her knowledge of Qin Zhen, he didnât seem like someone who would meddle in such affairs.
Qin Zhen pondered for a moment, âI donât know Tong Jia, but she is related to Tong Wanzheâs disappearance. Tong Jia wonât be harmed; Han Xu just wants to know Tong Wanzheâs whereabouts. He asked her to inquire. Itâs just that he caused too much commotion, so I helped him with the surveillance footage.â He did not think he was abetting wrongdoing; he just felt it was the right thing to do once he knew about it.
Shen Qingyue was momentarily stunned, âTong Wanzhe? What does that have to do with Tong Wanzhe? Are you people insane? Letâs not even discuss whether Tong Jia is really connected to Tong Wanzheâs whereabouts. Youâve known Han Xu for so long, donât you know what he did to Tong Wanzhe? How can Han Xu have the face to look for Tong Wanzhe? If I were her, Iâd wish Han
Xu were dead!â
She had learned about the affair between Han Xu and Tong Wanzhe in her previous life, and it was quite a melodramatic tale.
To put it succinctly, Tong Wanzhe had grown up in a single-parent household with only a father. She was a talented painter, and at the time, she also had a like-minded boyfriend, and they were on the verge of getting married.
But at a personal art exhibition, Tong Wanzhe met Han Xu. It could be said that she fell in love with him at first sight. After pursuing him for a while with no success, he forced her and sent their photos to Tong Wanzheâs boyfriend, which resulted in her boyfriend being emotionally devastated and getting into a car accident. After that, there was no news of him.
In order to control her, Han Xu manipulated Tong Wanzheâs father into gambling and accumulating debt. This forced Tong Wanzhe to turn to him.
From then on, she became his forbidden fruit.
Watching his daughter kneel beside Han Xu repeatedly, begging for his mercy, and enduring Han Xuâs verbal insults, Tongâs father completely broke down, ending his own life by jumping into the ocean.
Qin Zhenâs voice was calm, and he naturally knew these things, but what did they have to do with him? âTong Jia took Tong Wanzheâs ring to auction. This ring didnât appear out of nowhere. Do you know how happy Han Xu was when he told me? He finally had news of Tong Wanzhe, so I couldnât just sit around and not help him.â
Shen Qingyueâs thoughts were spinning, and the information in that sentence was significant. The ring auctioned by Tong Jia belonged to Tong Wanzhe? And when she insisted on auctioning it far away, what did that imply? Regardless of the speculations that arose, Shen Qingyue didnât voice them and said, âHan
Xu ruined Tong Wanzheâs life. Perhaps Tong Wanzhe has found a new life now. Why not let bygones be bygones? Is that not a good idea?â
Qin Zhen only replied, âPeople make mistakes, and besides, Tong Wanzheâs fatherâs accident was unexpected. Han Xu cares deeply about Tong Wanzhe..â
