Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This time was indeed no different from the past.
Mei Shu tried to pull her hand back, but it was a futile attempt. Soon, her fingers began to sting, and she had to surrender, saying, “I understand, Granny Wang. I won’t peek. Please let me go!”
Only then did Old Wang release her hand, wearing a smirk. “Good girl, after this is over, I won’t mistreat you. Go now, do as I said, first get the phone, and then go tell Wang Yue exactly what I told you.”
“Okay.” Mei Shu responded softly, then turned and left without looking back.
Captain Wang was waiting for her at the door.
Mei Shu knew that there was no way to continue deceiving him. With Captain Wang’s sharpness, he must have already realized that everything tonight was intentional on her part.
Fortunately, things had progressed to this point, and she had no intention of continuing to conceal the truth.
Leaving the visiting room, the anxiety on her face disappeared without a trace.
She stopped and stood in front of Captain Wang, saying in a low voice, “I’m going to Old Wang’s house to find that phone. Do you want to come with me?”
Captain Wang said solemnly, “Yes, I also want to know the real purpose behind your actions.”
As he spoke, his gaze lingered for a moment on the wound on Mei Shu’s arm. He then took out a band-aid from his pocket. “Use this for now. If the wound gets infected, it will be troublesome to deal with.”
“Thank you.” Mei Shu gratefully accepted the band-aid. After treating the wound, she got into Captain Wang’s car, and the two of them went to Old Wang’s house together.
Lin He had been staying in the house Mei Shu rented these past few days. However, today, she appeared in the living room early and collided with Mei Shu as she opened the door.
“Why are you here?” Mei Shu was surprised, taking a couple of quick steps and stopping in front of her. “Aren’t you afraid it might be dangerous here?”
“The dangerous people have all been arrested, haven’t they? I came back to pack my things.” Lin He pointed to several cardboard boxes stacked nearby, smiling innocently and shyly.
Mei Shu was sure that Lin He had guessed something, so she had been waiting here for her. Otherwise, Old Wang’s house wouldn’t have had the door only slightly ajar and not locked.
Not wanting to involve Lin He too much, Mei Shu’s expression turned cold, and her tone became dry. “Captain Wang and I are here to investigate. You stay away for now. Leave your things here; later, I’ll help you move them downstairs.”
“No need to stay away; I know what you guys are looking for.” Saying this, Lin He, to the astonishment of both of them, slowly took out an outdated old phone from her pocket.
Mei Shu felt her breath tighten suddenly. She quickly reached out to Lin He, saying, “Is this the one you found in her drawer? Give it to me; I need it.”
“Mei Shu, as long as it’s what you want, I’ll help you. But I want to know what’s really stored in this phone.” Lin He insisted on finding an answer.
She had no other intentions, and she wouldn’t obstruct Mei Shu’s plan. She was just afraid that she might have harmed Mei Shu unintentionally over the years when she was with Zhou Nan.
If that were the case, she might never be able to redeem herself.
Captain Wang took a step forward, intending to snatch the phone from her.
But Mei Shu preemptively stopped his action, as if she had seen through Lin He’s true thoughts in an instant. “I know what you’re worried about. However, you’re worrying too much. You haven’t harmed me. What I’m investigating happened before you knew Zhou Nan. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Really?” Lin He urgently sought answers in Mei Shu’s calm eyes.
Only when Mei Shu gave her a definite affirmative answer did she finally relax, unhesitatingly handing the phone over to Mei Shu. “That’s great. I won’t interfere with what you want to investigate. If you need any help, just ask. I’ll do my best for you.”
“If needed, I will come to you.” Mei Shu smiled, soothing Lin He. She watched as Lin He left the house before eagerly opening the phone.
After today, all the truth would be finally revealed.
Six years ago.
In the restroom of Dragon Spring Manor.
“Hey, is this old woman blind? This dress of mine is a limited edition! Can you afford to compensate me for getting this dirty water on my dress?!” A woman’s complaining voice attracted a crowd.
In the center of the crowd, an old lady with white hair, wearing a cleaning uniform, was bowing apologetically, a bitter smile on her face. “I’m sorry, 1 really didn’t pay attention just now. I had my back to the door, and I didn’t know you would suddenly come in at this moment.”
Upon hearing this, the woman raised her dissatisfaction, “Are you implying that it’s my fault? Just because you’re old, you think you can take advantage of your age? If you damage something, you should find a way to compensate me! If you don’t compensate, call your manager here!”
“No, no, no.” The old lady hurriedly shook her hands anxiously, “Miss, how about you name a price, and I’ll give you the money.. Isn’t that okay?”
