Lin Zhixing always knew that her boyfriend's uncle, He Yanchen, was cold-hearted and unapproachable. She had heard that the man was noble, self-controlled, and did not associate with women.
...Then he slowly drove the car to the side of the road and stopped.
Lin Zhixing had just watched that video.
Even so, the man still turned the phone screen toward himself, turned off the sound, and then clicked the play button.
The light in the car was very dim, and the subtle changes in light and shadow projected from the mobile phone onto the man's face showed that a video was playing.
Lin Zhixing couldn't see the content of the video, but he could see He Yanchen's face.
As the video played, the man's face became more and more ugly.
Even the fingers holding the phone were tightening slightly, the joints turning white and becoming more prominent.
After watching the video, the man said, "Wait a moment, don't get out of the car."
After saying that, she took her cell phone, opened the door and got out of the car.
Lin Zhixing just sat in the car and heard the sound of the man turning on his phone. It seemed that he was watching the video carefully over and over again.
The warm-toned light of the street lamp is not very bright and only illuminates a small area.
The man stood where the shadows were more.
Lin Zhixing couldn't see his expression clearly, but she could sense the man's emotions when he watched the video. It seemed like...
anger.
Or irritability.
The man didn't know how many times he watched the video. Finally, he put down his phone, holding the phone tightly in his hand, his face ashen.
He stood outside the car for seven or eight minutes before getting back in.
He returned the phone to Lin Zhixing and said, "Delete this email now."
"good."
Lin Zhixing suppressed the urge to ask "why" and deleted the email.
He Yanchen gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and took a deep breath, as if trying hard to suppress some emotion.
After Lin Zhixing showed him the phone and confirmed that the email was completely deleted, he restarted the car.
The two people didn't say a word along the way.
When the car stopped in the parking space in the underground garage, He Yanchen said, "You go home, I have something to do."
Lin Zhixing could see that the man looked very unhappy, so he asked, "What's the matter? Is it related to the video?"
