Lin Rushuang had been with Li Wenyuan since she was eighteen. Due to an accident, her deaf ears regained hearing while saving him.
Excited, she prepared to tell him the news, only to find him...
Chapter 142 He Tingchen's True Identity
He Tingchen briefly sorted out his thoughts. He had a general idea of the situation, but there were some details that he was not clear about.
He walked slowly to the balcony, poured himself a glass of wine, and shook the glass in his hand with his bony fingers.
"Want some?"
Lin Rushuang waved her hand: "No need."
In order to consolidate Li Wenyuan's status and position in Lide, she had been attending social events all day long. Unless she was in a very bad mood, she didn't want to drink.
He Tingchen didn't force her. He picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips and took a sip. The sweetness of the wine spread between his lips and teeth, and He Tingchen's frown gradually relaxed.
"Tell me, when did you first realize something was wrong?"
Lin Rushuang touched her chin and said, "It was probably when I was about to reach you that I felt a car suddenly stop. There are very few cars here at night, and it's even more secluded going forward."
He Tingchen raised the wine glass in his hand and raised his eyebrows awkwardly.
"The vigilance is quite high."
Lin Rushuang also recalled a detail: "When I came in, I saw the metal on the combination door reflecting light. It looked like there was a figure, but I wasn't sure."
He Tingchen nodded thoughtfully. "Then you sent a message to Lin Yuxi, asking her to come over. You turned the tables on her. That was a pretty good trick."
Seeing Lin Rushuang's inaction before, he almost thought that this Lin sister would grow up to be a silly and innocent girl.
I didn't expect he was so good at pretending.
Lin Rushuang is not actually that smart, but she just had a sudden inspiration.
"Anyway, if you and Lin Yuxi testify, the media outlets, being experienced, will think you're deliberately covering up the truth. If they make any demands, it'll be very troublesome."
Lin Rushuang had seen the media's tactics before, after all, she had seen all kinds of situations.
Who knows, maybe He Tingchen will kiss Lin Yuxi then...
Of course Lin Yuxi was willing, but He Tingchen and Lin Rushuang couldn't help but shiver just thinking about that scene.
According to He Tingchen's temper, he would definitely leave on the spot.
He Tingchen tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass. His movements were very comfortable, as if he was listening to her tell a story.
Lin Rushang's eyes were now parallel to his smooth Adam's apple, which rolled with the swallowing movement, sexy and charming.
To be honest, He Tingchen is such a handsome man, as if he was carefully carved out, without a single flaw to be found.
If we really have to point out his shortcomings, it would probably be that he has a somewhat poisonous mouth.
He Tingchen glanced at her with his deep eyes: "You are using me now, shouldn't you give me an explanation? Besides, they all saw me naked when they came in just now."
Lin Rushuang was speechless: "You're still fussing about this?"
He Tingchen is simply nitpicking, and his mind is narrower than the eye of a needle. He is not a woman, so being looked at can be said to be taking advantage.
He turned around and sat on the sofa, his right leg folded over his left knee. He had a high nose and deep eyes. Even in his home clothes, he gave people a sense of unattainable nobility.
"Do you think I'm such a nonchalant person?"
Lin Rushang suddenly remembered, yes, He Tingchen has always been like this, he says whatever he thinks and never cares about others.
Although he is cold, he is more real than Li Wenyuan.
In fact, she prefers dealing with such straightforward people, rather than someone like Li Wenyuan, who always says he loves her and will treat her well, but does things that hurt her behind her back.
He Tingchen doesn't stab people in the back. If he does, he always stabs them in the face.
When Lin Rushang thought of this, she felt relieved.
"I've already mortgaged myself to you. I'm no longer of any use to you."
"Then just keep the debt for now and pay it back slowly later. There's no rush."
He Tingchen put down the empty wine glass in his hand, lifted the quilt and got into bed.
"Well, you can start singing."
Lin Rushang glanced at the time and it was indeed late. She turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a night light on on the bedside table.
She sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and then began to sing to He Tingchen.
That earthy rat loves rice.
She had almost forgotten the lyrics, but just now, while Li Wenyuan and Jiang Yuyan were around, she searched for them on her phone in the next room and practiced secretly.
She had prepared something else, but before she even finished singing a song, she heard He Tingchen's light and steady breathing.
Lin Rushuang deliberately paused for a few seconds to make sure that He Tingchen had no reaction before she stood up and left the room.
The dog was lying at the door, and when it saw Lin Rushuang, it wagged its tail.
In fact, she really wanted to go back, but she was always a little nervous because she had been making excuses to Li Wenyuan these days, saying that she was at Yang Xin's house.
She was worried that if she kept using this excuse for too long, Li Wenyuan would no longer believe it.
But this place is too remote, and it’s not convenient to take a taxi at this time. Well, I’ll just bear with it.
Lin Rushang walked to the guest room next door and turned on the light, only to find that the bed was already made. She was so busy avoiding Li Wenyuan that she didn't notice the furnishings in the room.
She went over and touched the sheets. They felt new and the fabric was soft. Just by touching it, Lin Rushang felt sleepy.
And He Tingchen, does he really have any sleep disorders?
Can people with sleep disorders fall asleep so quickly?
Her song only lasted a few minutes, and he fell asleep.
Lin Rushang shook her head, trying not to think about it, then she tidied up and lay down on the bed.
------
Li Wenyuan and Jiang Yuyan were taken to the police station and their statements were taken. It was not a big deal.
Especially after Li Wenyuan revealed the relationship between him and He Tingchen, the police had no choice but to release him after completing the verification.
It was only at this moment that Jiang Yuyan learned the truth.
She was surprised and looked at Li Wenyuan in disbelief, who had a frown on his face and a very bad expression.
"A Yuan, does Sister Rushuang know... does she know that Mr. He is your uncle?"
Li Wenyuan shook his head: "No, because He Tingchen's relationship with our family is too complicated, it's a taboo topic, but his ability makes the whole family wary."
"Anyway, if he really goes crazy, he's a complete lunatic!"
Li Wenyuan couldn't help but tremble all over when he thought of the horrific scene he saw when he was a child. This was the shadow of his childhood.
The fear of He Tingchen was deeply engraved in her bones since she was a child, like an indelible brand.
Although Jiang Yuyan didn't know what He Tingchen had done to make Li Wenyuan so scared, she felt the same way. There was always a cold aura emanating from that man.
It felt like being in a mysterious and gloomy place, with chills emanating from every part of my body.
It is beyond human control.
