Chapter 42 Wasn't it all for the sake of meeting you?

Xie Nanzhi was taken aback.

Then, a man whispered in her ear, "I don't need an ally who could hurt me at any moment. That would look stupid."

His gaze slowly fell on the gauze wrapped around her arm. Wei Chizheng's heart tightened again, and he subconsciously frowned and lowered his voice, "...So, take care of yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chizheng released her.

His cold, calm eyes glanced at her casually before looking away, giving Xie Nanzhi a clear understanding of what was going on.

The tension and worry Xie Nanzhi felt when she hugged her just now must have been her imagination. How could such a cold and heartless man have such complex and strange emotions towards her?

Xie Nanzhi's expression changed slightly, but not very obviously. "This was an accident. I will be more careful in the future."

Xie Nanzhi didn't look at him, but she could feel his gaze out of the corner of her eye. For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she could only make up an excuse to leave.

"I'm going to check on Liu Chen. Mr. Wei, don't forget what you promised me."

"good."

Xie Nanzhi walked away first, and Wei Chizheng watched her back with tenderness in his eyes. He reached out his hand, but felt that she was out of reach.

Even though I know I shouldn't get close, I can't help but get close.

His dark eyes narrowed, Wei Chizheng's face was cold, his brows furrowed slightly, and his lowered hand finally clenched into a fist.

Xie Nanzhi was at ease leaving Liu Chen's matter to Wei Chizheng.

Wei Chizheng told her to go back and rest, and that he would arrange for someone at the hospital to take care of it and notify her once it was done.

Xie Nanzhi did as instructed, dragging her tired body back to the hotel. It was already dawn. She was really exhausted, but she woke up after resting for a short while.

When I have something on my mind, I can't sleep soundly.

Xie Nanzhi picked up her phone and saw that she hadn't missed any missed calls or messages. Just as she was about to put the phone down, it vibrated.

It's a friend request.

She had a feeling that this stranger must be him.

After Xie Nanzhi accepted the friend request, the other party immediately sent her a message.

I am Wei Chizheng.

Looking at the words on the screen, Xie Nanzhi could almost picture his expression as he typed, which must have been serious and tense.

Xie Nanzhi replied, "Yes, I know."

The moment the message was sent, Wei Chizheng called back via video.

Xie Nanzhi was still a little unaccustomed to it, and it rang for a few seconds before she answered. Then she saw Wei Chizheng's handsome face.

She's undeniably beautiful and incredibly fair-skinned, but she looks somewhat unhealthy.

Xie Nanzhi, "How is Liu Chen?"

Wei Chizheng stared at her intently and said calmly, "Liu Chen has woken up. With proper care, she won't suffer any long-term effects. Also, I've already arranged for Liu Chen's faked death. Around noon, we'll announce that her condition worsened and she died despite all efforts to save her."

Although they were allies in a sense, Wei Chizheng had indeed helped her a lot in this matter, and she should express her gratitude accordingly.

Xie Nanzhi said politely, "Mr. Wei, I'll treat you to dinner when we get back to Hong Kong."

The other party didn't speak, and Xie Nanzhi thought it was because she wasn't sincere enough. Just as she was thinking about how to make amends, Wei Chizheng spoke up, "Okay, it's a deal."

Xie Nanzhi, "..."

It sounds like something very serious.

The brief call ended without a single unnecessary word.

Xie Nanzhi stared blankly at her phone for a while, then chuckled softly and walked towards the balcony.

H City is a coastal area, and the wind carries a hint of dampness, which feels very comfortable on her face. She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the gentle breeze.

A moment later, without realizing it, the scene of birdsong and fragrant flowers in her mind turned into Wei Chizheng's face, and Xie Nanzhi hurriedly opened her eyes.

Have you been in too much contact with him lately? Has he brainwashed her?

She took a deep breath and patted her face to calm herself down.

As Wei Chizheng said, at noon, the hospital announced that Liu Chen had died at 12:15 pm after all efforts to save him failed.

Liu Chen's parents arrived at the hospital in the afternoon, and Xie Nanzhi visited them in person.

The parents were simple, unassuming working-class people. Seeing them, Xie Nanzhi could understand why Liu Chen's parents had rejected his suggestion to study abroad.

If they had the means, who wouldn't want their child to have a better future? They simply didn't have the resources to send Liu Chen abroad to study.

Upon meeting, Xie Nanzhi immediately told them the truth. After their initial surprise, the elderly couple were so excited to confirm that Liu Chen was safe and sound that they burst into tears and agreed to cooperate with Xie Nanzhi.

Liu Chen's parents had to cooperate in the charade at the hospital so that Pei Jingchuan would believe it was real.

In addition, the accident investigation report has also been released. The cause was that the truck driver was driving while fatigued. When he was driving on the road in front of the main gate of H University, he fell asleep in the truck and crashed into the building without realizing it.

The personal information about the driver that Wei Chizheng gave her revealed that he had no parents, no wife, no children, and was all alone, owing more than a million yuan due to gambling.

Upon seeing the information, Xie Nanzhi sneered, "He certainly knows how to pick people."

Wei Chizheng said, "It's not easy to get the truth out of a person who has no ties. Besides, that driver isn't stupid. As long as he doesn't reveal who's behind it, it's just a traffic accident. He'll be out in ten years. But if he admits it, it's intentional homicide. He knows which is more serious."

Xie Nanzhi gripped her bag tightly, vowing that one day she would make Pei Jingchuan pay for everything he had done.

To deal with Liu Chen's matter, Xie Nanzhi stayed in H City for five whole days. Only after everything was settled did she buy a plane ticket to fly back to Hong Kong.

Carrying her luggage, Xie Nanzhi boarded the plane and found her seat. As she reached for her luggage, another large hand reached out first.

Xie Nanzhi subconsciously turned around, almost bumping into Wei Chizheng's strong chest. She took an awkward step back, and only after seeing her suitcase being put away did she remember to greet him, "What a coincidence, Mr. Wei is also on this flight?"

Wei Chizheng's seat was on the side of the aisle. He sat down gracefully and nodded to Xie Nanzhi. "Yes, it is quite a coincidence."

How should I put this attitude?

Neither too hot nor too cold, neither too close nor too far.

More familiar than strangers, yet more distant than acquaintances.

Xie Nanzhi smiled politely and didn't engage in any further conversation.

Perhaps Wei Chizheng was just that kind of person, indifferent to both things and people. Then, she took out an eye mask, preparing to take a nap.

Wei Chizheng's gaze only shifted back to her after she put on the blindfold.

Sitting in the front row, Mu Lin felt heartbroken and sighed a thousand times.

There aren't that many coincidences in this world; wasn't it all for the sake of meeting you?

Second Master had him specifically inquire about Miss Xie's flight and then buy a seat next to her from someone else at a high price.

The Second Master's feelings for Miss Xie were hidden deeper than the sea. If it weren't for the Second Master's strange illness, he wouldn't have remained a silent protector for so many years, never vying for her affections.

Oh, poor Second Master, how could this happen... sigh.

Just as the plane was about to take off and the flight attendant reminded passengers to turn off their phones, Xie Nanzhi received a message from Liu Chen.

Xie Nanzhi smiled as she looked at the words above.

Then I heard, "What's the matter? Why are you so happy?"
