The two buildings were at least five or six meters apart. It was impossible to jump over without the help of tools. I could only watch the other party escape.
The man's right sleeve was torn by Xiao Ba, revealing black spider patterns on his body, which were exactly the same as the features on the right wrist of the perpetrator seen by the witness that year.
The big black spider tattooed on the wrist is lifelike, as if it is lurking on the owner's body and will jump out and bite him at any time.
By the time Wen Xi and the others took the elevator to the first floor and ran towards the building, the man had disappeared.
Wen Yuan called the police immediately.
It was late at night after Lou Yang was settled in the hospital and the statement was taken. Wen Yuan took Wen Xi to sit down at the 24-hour convenience store in front of the hospital.
The clerk on night shift was dozing off. He served them hot drinks and then retreated behind the cash register.
Wen Yuan slumped down on the high chair without any manner, rarely without any image. He covered his face with his hands and rubbed it fiercely. He looked tired, as if he had survived a disaster.
"I told you not to come." Wen Xi threw a chocolate ball into her mouth and chewed it into pieces with a 'crunch'.
She needs to calm down.
If I hadn't brought Xiao Ba with me, if I hadn't taken a step at night...
The atmosphere was a little stagnant.
Just when Wen Xi was about to think that her cousin had fallen asleep from exhaustion, Wen Yuan lowered his hand that was covering his face, looked at her with red eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I have to come."
Even though he had just experienced a dangerous situation, he still did not regret the decision he made.
But if he could do it again, he would not bring Lou Yang with him.
"You are brave but not wise. It's a shame that you are so much older than me." Wen Xi glared at him.
Wen Yuan lowered his head, said nothing, and felt very ashamed.
He was a little impulsive and didn't think many things through. Not only did he put himself in danger, he also almost caused his brother to lose his life.
"Now you should finally believe what I said before, okay? Steady."
Wen Xi said as she threw a golden-wrapped chocolate ball into his arms. It was the last one in the bag, and if he hadn't looked as pale as a ghost, she wouldn't have given it to him.
Wen Yuan caught it in a panic, looking a little embarrassed.
"You saw it just now, didn't you?"
"Um."
Wen Yuan nodded, knowing that Wen Xi was referring to the tattoo on the man's wrist.
"Do you know why he was silenced?"
Wen Yuan suddenly looked up at Wen Xi.
He doesn't understand.
My mind is a mess.
Suddenly I feel like there are many things I can’t understand.
"Because you've never given up on tracking down the person who killed my uncle's family." Wen Xi looked him in the eye and said word by word, "My family hasn't given up either. My dad almost lost his life before."
That was when he had just been kicked out of the family. It was a very dangerous time. Fortunately, Uncle Wu arrived. Later, Wen Chengyi increased his vigilance and strengthened security, which prevented those people from taking advantage of the opportunity.
"How come Second Uncle also..." Wen Yuan was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He hasn't completely let down his guard against Wen Xi.
Wen Xi understood and slowly stirred the hot drink before saying, "If it was really my father who hired someone to kill my uncle's family, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us if you, who has been pursuing this matter, were to die?"
Wen Yuan was stunned.
That is indeed the case.
If it really was Second Uncle...the other party would be relieved if he died, so why did Wen Xi save him just now?
If that’s the case, then my second uncle really had nothing to do with the accident that year.
Wen Yuan was silent for a while, and sorted out his thoughts a little, but there was still one thing he couldn't figure out.
"To avoid punishment for a traffic accident, he's silencing us, the ones investigating? Hit-and-run carries a maximum sentence of ten years, but taking someone's life carries the death penalty. Isn't that a small loss over a big one? Even if he can't make it in China, he can easily flee abroad and hide his identity. Why take such a huge risk?"
