Chapter 41 Did you touch my phone?

In Shenzhen, it was almost evening when Xu Moli and Qin Huifang returned from the shopping mall with full bags.

It was only about six o'clock, but it was already pitch black outside.

She turned on the light in the living room of the apartment. The sudden warm light reflected Shi Wang's figure in the living room, which scared both Xu Moli and Qin Huifang.

"Shi Wang? Why are you sitting here without turning on the light?"

Qin Huifang even covered her chest and exclaimed, "Oh, son, at least Mommy doesn't have a heart disease or anything like that, otherwise I would have been scared to the hospital today!"

"Look at you, it's so cold and late at night, and you don't even turn on the lights, and you're sitting on the sofa in so little clothing. What the hell is wrong with you?"

Xu Moli helped Qin Huifang put down her things and was about to go over to Shi Wang to check on him, but as she got closer, she found that the man was also staring at her.

That look was cold, distant, and filled with a hint of suspicion.

Xu Moli hadn't seen such emotions on Shi Wang's face for a long time. The last time they saw him was during their school days, when they had a complete falling out.

This made her heart tremble inexplicably, and she subconsciously wanted to find a topic to muddle through: "Shi Wang, have you eaten dinner tonight? If not, I'll go make you something?"

"Hey, Jasmine, Jasmine, you're pregnant, so stop busying yourself. There are so many restaurants downstairs. If Shi Wang hasn't eaten, just let him come downstairs and eat something later."

Seeing this, Qin Huifang hurried forward and tried to stop Xu Moli who was about to go to the kitchen.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she made a move, Shi Wang, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke: "Xu Moli."

"Did you touch my phone?"

In the originally noisy room, you could hear a pin drop.

Xu Moli and Qin Huifang both froze in place.

The man's next words made the former feel as if he was falling into an icy cave.

"On the night of December 16th, you deleted a message Jiang Wanning sent me."

It was not a question, Shi Wang's tone was very certain.

But how did he know this?

Xu Moli believed that she had done everything perfectly at the time and never thought that the truth would be revealed one day.

At this moment, she stood still, and the cold sweat on her forehead slid uncontrollably down to the corners of her eyes.

The atmosphere was about to get out of control.

When Qin Huifang heard Jiang Wanning's name, she "exploded" again.

"Shi Wang, is this how you talk to Jasmine?!"

"Mo Li has been with us for a while now. Mom has seen how much she cares about you. What's wrong with her checking your phone? What shameful things are on your phone? Is it worth it to be so precious?"

Qin Huifang has a very loud voice.

The shrill voice almost made the whole room tremble.

"And that Jiang Wanning, didn't I warn you a long time ago not to associate with her anymore?"

"That's just a yellow-haired girl who's not even presentable enough. You've been coaxed into losing your mind with a few sweet words! She's not even half as good as Jasmine's toenails! If you bring this up again, I won't acknowledge you as my son!"

Xu Moli, who was standing by, also shed a few well-timed tears at this moment: "Shi Wang, I really didn't mean it."

"I saw you had too many work messages that day, so I wanted to remind you. Maybe you accidentally touched something else. I really didn't know."

"If I had known that it was a message from Sister Wan Ning, I would have told you."

As Xu Moli spoke, she quickly walked up to Shi Wang and carefully grabbed his wrist. Her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, and she looked so pitiful.

"Shi Wang, could you please not chase me away because of this..."

"I'm being abused online, and I'm pregnant. I really don't have anywhere else to go except here."

"Just think of it as me begging you, okay?"

Her voice choked several times, and Shi Wang's originally cold eyebrows and eyes finally became gentle.

"Don't let it happen again."

"Yes!" Xu Moli agreed hurriedly and walked back to the kitchen: "Then I'll prepare something for you to eat."

Qin Huifang, who was standing by, saw the two men's conflict resolved. She rolled her eyes and quickly followed after them: "Don't get tired, I'll help you with Jasmine!"

Shi Wang looked at the two people's backs in silence.

At this moment, the phone on his desk suddenly vibrated.

Seeing that it was Xu Wen who sent him a message: [Shi Wang, you asked me about Jiang Wanning during the day. I have a colleague here who happens to have some connections with her. I'll give you his WeChat.]

The phone vibrated twice again, and Xu Wen pushed another friend's business card link.

…

Star Country.

After many twists and turns, Xie Yanchuan and Jiang Wanning finally arrived at a small town under City C after a few hours.

The two looked at the very old residential building in front of them and were stunned for a moment. They lowered their heads and confirmed again and again that the location on the navigation was correct before they finally mustered up the courage to walk in.

There were no elevators in the aging residential complex, so Jiang Wanning climbed all the way to the top tenth floor in one breath, taking a moment to catch her breath.

Xie Yanchuan had already knocked on the closed security door opposite her.

The security door is also quite old, and when someone inside opens it, it makes a "creaky" sound.

Immediately afterwards, an old man with a white beard and wearing a Zhongshan suit appeared, but after seeing what the two of them were wearing clearly, he quickly closed the door.

"Wait a moment."

Fortunately, Xie Yanchuan was quick to block the attack with his foot, preventing the other party from succeeding. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Chen?"

"No, I don't recognize him."

"I am an old man with dim eyesight and I am alone. You have mistaken me for someone else. Please leave now."

Upon hearing this, the old man waved his hands repeatedly, wanting to kick the two men out again.

"We have no ill intentions, Mr. Chen!"

Jiang Wanning was sweating profusely, "I heard you're a jade carving master who's been in seclusion for many years, and I'd like to ask you to help repair a bracelet."

"This bracelet is the last thing my grandmother left me. It is very important to me. All I need is for you to take a look at it and give me an answer!"

As Jiang Wanning spoke, she took out the broken bracelet that had been put back into the box from her bag.

The old man, who had originally had a very tough attitude, finally softened his attitude when he caught a glimpse of the corner of the bracelet.

He first looked at Xie Yanchuan with a frown before reopening the tightly closed security door.

"Come in."

Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan looked at each other, and after entering the security door, they discovered that there was a different world inside.

Old man Chen is obviously a man who knows how to enjoy life. Unlike the old and messy residential buildings outside, his small room is spotlessly clean, and there are many vibrant green plants in the corners of the living room.

After leading them in, the old man showed no hospitality at all. He just walked to the tea table and drank tea leisurely.

Seeing that he was left aside, Xie Yanchuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly glanced at the old man: "You are not Mr. Chen?"
