Chapter 93: Missing Brother's Boyfriend
"I don't know. I don't really understand. I have to go to class first."
It was obvious that the girl wanted to leave, so Chang Yuhan made way for her.
She looked at Lin Zhi, with not-so-obvious pity in her eyes, and said, "Let's ask other people. If he really cheated, there must be some clues."
Chang Yuhan felt a little sorry for Lin Zhi, but after all, it was a cross-border relationship where they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Long-distance relationships are prone to problems, not to mention the national borders and time differences.
She once again despised Wei Jinrong in her heart for leaving without saying goodbye. He was already in his thirties, why did he make things like this?
The girl who had taken a few steps stopped subconsciously when she heard Chang Yuhan's words and looked back at Chang Yuhan and Lin Zhi.
"Are you friends of the teacher?"
The girl who had just said that she was in a hurry to go to class and was unwilling to talk more now took the initiative to talk. Chang Yuhan nodded and looked at Lin Zhi, but did not take the initiative to introduce Lin Zhi's identity.
After the same-sex marriage law was introduced, all sexual orientations became normal, but some people still rejected it. In addition, bisexuality, like homosexuality and heterosexuality, is a sexual orientation, and no one would specifically advertise it, so she did not reveal Lin Zhi's identity without permission.
Lin Zhi looked at the girl and said, "I'm his boyfriend."
"How is that possible? The teacher never said that he likes boys."
The girl retorted subconsciously, but after she finished speaking she realized that her words might be inappropriate, so she changed the subject abruptly.
"If you were the teacher's boyfriend, how come you didn't know where the teacher went, and he didn't tell you?"
Chang Yuhan frowned unconsciously. She was also a very good observer, so how could she not notice something was wrong with this girl? It was not normal for her to deliberately choke Lin Zhi and embarrass her.
What Chang Yuhan could feel, Lin Zhi naturally felt more deeply.
The vague hostility was particularly obvious to Lin Zhi. Needless to say, this girl should have some special feelings for Wei Jinrong, and it is not ruled out that they have an intimate relationship.
What? Is Wei Jinrong showing pure heterosexuality to her?
Lin Zhi was not the original owner, so she didn't have any other emotions, just a little amusement. This girl had some problems, but she probably didn't know about the ancient paintings. Wei Jinrong had worked in BV for five or six years and had superb hiding skills. He would not let outsiders know the inside story.
"No, he suddenly lost contact, and I was worried that something had happened to him, so I came to look for him. Classmate, do you really not know where he went?"
Lin Zhi seemed not to sense the girl's emotions and asked with a worried look.
"I really don't know."
The girl shook her head and stopped talking to Lin Zhi and the others. She looked at the time in the hall and quickly ran to class.
Chang Yuhan muttered: "This person's attitude is really inexplicable."
Lin Zhi looked at the girl's back, thinking that she should know something.
When he asked that question, the girl's expression was a little doubtful, and even when she said she didn't know, she looked at him with a hint of pride, as if she knew something that even he, her official lover, didn't know.
If she really liked Wei Jinrong, she would definitely be worried when she heard the news that Wei Jinrong was missing, but she was not. It was as if she knew that Wei Jinrong was fine and that Wei Jinrong must have said something to her.
The company didn't even find out about her? And judging from the way this person concealed her emotions, she seemed to be just an ordinary person without any special training. What could Wei Jinrong tell her?
Lin Zhi: "Let's go to the front desk and ask. I feel like she should be more familiar with Jinrong."
Chang Yuhan agreed with Lin Zhi's words very much and went to the front desk with him again.
The receptionist had just pricked up her ears to listen to the excitement, and she also heard Lin Zhi's identity. The smile on her face became more sincere, with a hint of gossip that could not be concealed.
When asked by Lin Zhi, she quickly revealed her identity as a girl.
"Her name is Nie Jingwen. She was tutored one-on-one by Teacher Wei more than a year ago. At that time, she was going to take the English Level 4 exam, and she asked Teacher Wei to tutor her in English for about one or two months. After she passed the exam, she stopped coming."
"She is taking the Level 6 exam this year, so she signed up for a one-on-one tutoring class with Teacher Wei. The price of one-on-one tutoring in our institution is not cheap, especially for a top tutor like Teacher Wei. Teacher Wei resigned half a month ago, and she did not return the money. She found another teacher, but he comes once a week instead of every three days, and has four classes a month. Today is her last class."
Because the agency would not provide the counselor's address, phone number, and school, the receptionist only said this much.
Lin Zhi asked, "Does Wei Jinrong have any other close contacts in the organization?"
"Teacher Wei is very popular here. He is mature and humorous. He has a good relationship with other teachers, but I don't think he has a close relationship with any of them because he is also very busy."
"The quality of his lectures is very high. Parents of students who have made appointments with him for tutoring often become his repeat customers, and some even want to sign up for long-term tutoring. Teacher Wei rarely visits students for tutoring, but his schedule is still very full," the receptionist emphasized. "Some people want to introduce a date to Teacher Wei, but Teacher Wei says he already has someone he likes, so he politely declines all offers. Everyone thinks that Teacher Wei is a very loyal and affectionate person."
"By the way, this is Mr. Wei's work badge. He forgot to take it when he left. If you are his friends, I'll leave it with you for now."
The receptionist placed the work badge on the table. The card had Wei Jinrong's photo and name on it, and the name of the educational institution on the back.
Lin Zhi looked at the man in the photo. Wei Jinrong was wearing glasses and gave the impression of being a gentle and intellectual man.
He and Jing Xun do not look very similar. After all, they are half-brothers. Jing Xun is a mixed-race and looks more like his father. However, the same lip shape of Wei Jinrong and Jing Xun shows that the two are related by blood.
Chang Yuhan watched Lin Zhi put Wei Jinrong's work badge into her pocket and sighed in her heart.
Wei Jinrong only said that he has someone he likes but did not say that he has a lover. It seems that he is a scumbag who takes advantage of his cross-border relationship to fish for women.
Lin Zhi saw Chang Yuhan's expression and didn't intend to say anything. After all, only the senior executives of BV and themselves knew that they were a fake couple. In the daily chats between the original owner and Wei Jinrong, many seemingly ordinary words were referring to the time, place and people of the transaction.
The original owner was caught up in this ambiguous relationship and had no emotional connection with other people, but this might not be the case for Wei Jinrong.
"Sister Han, you go back first. I'll be waiting here for Nie Jingwen to finish class. I still want to ask her something, so I won't waste your time."
Chang Yuhan thought that today was the last class for the girl named Nie Jingwen, and she might not come after that, so of course she had to wait and ask.
She expressed her understanding and said, "Remember to call me if you have anything to say. Jing Xun may not be able to hear the phone call, but I will definitely hear it."
Lin Zhi curled his lips and nodded, but in fact he didn't have Jing Xun's phone number.
After getting off the elevator together, Chang Yuhan drove away. Lin Zhi did not return to the floor where the educational institution was located, but found a coffee shop nearby.
The warm breeze in the store dispelled the autumn chill, and Lin Zhi took out his mobile phone to check the information related to Nie Jingwen.
After learning that things were missing, the top management of BV Company was furious and wanted to dig deep into the ground to find Wei Jinrong. Everyone who had a relationship with him was investigated, even the original owner who was far away abroad, and Nie Jingwen, a student who they had no contact with for half a month.
The investigation showed that Nie Jingwen was just an ordinary female college student, a junior at the School of Economics and Management. She had no contact with Wei Jinrong after he resigned, and the company did not pay any attention to her.
The police also went to inquire as usual. It was found that there were very few call records between Nie Jingwen and Wei Jinrong. In addition, after Wei Jinrong resigned, Nie Jingwen continued to attend classes and make-up lessons as usual, so naturally no one would waste time on her.
Lin Zhi took a sip of hot coffee, looked at the scenery outside the window, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.
Whether it is to track down the "cheating" or the whereabouts of Wei Jinrong, he has to follow this man, otherwise how can he continue to act in front of Jing Xun.
Lin Zhi was thinking about Jing Xun in her heart. Jing Xun also learned from Chang Yuhan's complaints that his brother was suspected of cheating.
"It's better if it's not like this, but it's better for him to be a scumbag than to get into trouble. Lin Zhi is so pretty, but he's still not satisfied."
Chang Yuhan said this speechlessly, with a tone that seemed to show some sympathy for Lin Zhi.
Jing Xun was not interested in other people's emotional problems, but he was a little surprised that Chang Yuhan spoke for Lin Zhi when they met for the first time today.
"Sister Han, what kind of person do you think he is?"
"Who, your brother or your sister-in-law?"
Jing Xun couldn't say the word 'sister-in-law', so he paused and answered: "Lin Zhi."
In front of him was still the painting "Beauty in the Mist", with new paper balls scattered around, proving that he was still having trouble with his creation.
"She seems to be a quiet, reserved and gentle person. She seems a little cold and doesn't talk much, but she will respond to people politely. She has a high artistic aesthetic and is well-spoken and knowledgeable... The more I talk, the more I feel that your brother is unsatisfied. She is beautiful, well-behaved and infatuated. Her boyfriend didn't reply to her messages for a few days and she was so distracted that she couldn't do her job. She gave up everything and returned to China. Where can I find someone like her? If I could meet someone like her, I wouldn't have refused even after my mother urged me to get married 800 times."
Chang Yuhan was indignant and felt sorry for Lin Zhi.
Jing Xun looked at the dark red in the painting. It was such a perfect and positive description. Even Chang Yuhan, who dealt with people every day, couldn't see through his disguise.
Jing Xun believes that his feelings are not wrong, and his paintings are his intuitive expression.
“Is the creation still not going well?”
Chang Yuhan picked up the paper balls on the ground, looked at the paint that had not yet completely dried on them, and put all the paper balls into the trash can.
She thought Jing Xun had broken through the bottleneck by painting this picture, but it seemed that he was still unable to create.
Seeing Jing Xun was silent, Chang Yuhan suggested, "Why don't you live in a different environment? My friend has a newly opened mountain villa. In winter, you can see beautiful snow scenery there. Maybe you will feel better if you move to a different place."
"Wait until there's news about my brother."
If it was before, Jing Xun would have considered it, but his attention was now on his brother's strange lover, and he could hardly control himself from thinking about it.
Those harmless eyes were soft, yet in his paintings they held a strange, eerie allure.
It seems that as long as I get close to him, spy on him, dissect him, or even tear him apart, I can continue to create.
After Chang Yuhan left, Jing Xun once again turned on the surveillance video that he had watched many times today, and looked intently at his sister-in-law in the camera.
