He was like a clown, being manipulated by Wen Lu without even realizing it.
If Gu Yao hadn't suddenly brought up the relationship between Ghost Hand and Phantom today, he wouldn't have imagined the connection between Phantom and Wen Lu.
For some reason, Wang Jinyu felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest. There was no question about it; he truly loved Wen Lu to the core, but... if she was Meiying, then there was absolutely no possibility between them.
In the evening, Wen Lu woke up immediately upon hearing the noisy sounds coming from the living room. She picked up the book in her hand, glanced at the time, and sat up in bed.
The blanket slipped off, and Wen Lu looked at her pajamas, her brows furrowing slightly. She glanced around the bedroom and saw that Wang Jinyu was nowhere to be seen.
She threw back the covers, got out of bed, went into the bathroom to wash her face, went into the dressing room, changed her clothes, and then came out.
When Wen Lu walked into the living room, the three people who were playing games there didn't say anything and headed towards the study. She wanted to see what Wang Jinyu was doing in the study.
Entering the study, Wen Lu frowned involuntarily as she looked at the empty room. She took out her phone and dialed Wang Jinyu's number, but the call was busy.
Wen Lu felt a sudden pang of panic upon hearing the notification sound. She hung up the phone, opened WeChat, tapped on Wang Jinyu's profile picture, and sent him a message asking where he was.
But the moment the message was sent, a red exclamation mark popped up. Wen Lu looked at her phone in disbelief, her brows furrowing tightly.
She was momentarily stunned, not understanding what had happened. Everything had been harmonious between them before she fell asleep. Had something happened while she was sleeping?
Wen Lu pulled up a chair and sat down. She tried hard to recall what had happened before she went to sleep. She hadn't heard anything that required Wang Jinyu to leave immediately, and she couldn't understand why Wang Jinyu had suddenly deleted her from his WeChat contacts.
Wen Lu's phone screen was stuck on her chat with Wang Jinyu. She stared at the red exclamation mark, her mind a mess, trying to figure out what had happened that made Wang Jinyu insist on deleting her.
Just as Wen Lu was sitting alone in the study, lost in thought, Gu Yao gently knocked twice on the door from the outside, then pushed it open and came in.
Looking at Wen Lu's pale face, she walked over with heartache and gently pinched Wen Lu's cheek.
"Oh dear, why do you look even worse than when I came over at noon? I talked to Wang Jinyu this afternoon about helping you find the Ghost Hand."
Speaking of Ghost Hand, Gu Yao became a little excited. Ghost Hand was the best doctor she had ever met. Under her boss's arrangement, she had followed Ghost Hand in many surgeries and witnessed Ghost Hand pull people back from the brink of death countless times. She felt that Wen Lu's illness was not a problem at all in Ghost Hand's hands.
Upon hearing Gu Yao's words, Wen Lu suddenly raised her head, her dark eyes looking at Gu Yao with a hint of urgency in them.
"You talked about the ghost hand with Wang Jinyu? What did you say?"
Seeing Wen Lu's anxious expression, Gu Yao assumed that Wen Lu wanted the Ghost Hand to cure her illness. She raised her hand and gently pinched Wen Lu's neck, speaking slowly and deliberately, her tone carrying a hint of uncontrollable pride.
"Don't worry, your illness will definitely be cured. I've already contacted Ghost Hand for you, but he hasn't replied yet. Don't worry, Ghost Hand and I have a very good relationship. Back when my boss was alive, Ghost Hand and my boss were best friends. Every time my boss took a job, Ghost Hand would definitely show up..."
"Wait a minute, did you say the same thing to Wang Jinyu? Besides the relationship between your boss and Ghost Hand, did you say anything else?"
Before Gu Yao could finish speaking, Wen Lu stood up and grabbed Gu Yao's hand. Her bright eyes were filled with tension. She probably already guessed why Wang Jinyu had left and knew why she had been deleted.
"He just asked me some questions about whether my boss was really dead... But don't worry, little girl, even if Wang Jinyu liked my boss before, it's no use now. My boss is already dead, he won't compete with you for a man."
After Gu Yao finished speaking, Wen Lu's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, completely died. Just yesterday, she had admitted Ghost Hand's identity to Wang Jinyu, and today Gu Yao had already revealed Ghost Hand and Phantom's affairs.
Someone as intelligent as Wang Jinyu could tell from her eyes that she and Gu Yao were very familiar with each other. Wang Jinyu's departure today probably meant that he already knew her identity.
"How could he possibly like your boss? He'd love to tear him to pieces. Do you even remember when your boss went on a mission last July and came back severely wounded?"
"He shot your boss in the back with his own hands. Because of that incident, he lost his master. From then on, his relationship with your boss was one of mortal enmity. How could he possibly like him..."
When Wen Lu said this, she felt like her heart was being torn apart. She thought that if she revealed her true identity later, Wang Jinyu would pay more attention to her, which would reduce the resentment in her heart and give them a chance to be together.
It now seems there's absolutely no possibility between them...
Gu Yao was surprised that Wen Lu knew about Mei Ying. She looked at Wen Lu blankly, suppressing her excitement, and grabbed Wen Lu's hand.
"How do you know about my boss! Are you related to my boss? Or did Wang Jinyu tell you all this? Did she keep my boss's photo in her drawer to assassinate him?"
"I don't know why she took your boss's picture, but I know she will never like your boss, never..."
When Gu Yao heard Wen Lu say that Phantom was bad, she instantly exploded. She stood up abruptly from her seat, causing the seat behind her to rip open with a loud bang.
"Wen Lu, I was just trying to help you, so why are you talking about my boss like that? She's already dead, why are you still saying such things about her? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid a dead person will steal your man? Don't you even look at your broken body? Who is Wang Jinyu? Do you think you can afford to be with him? You really think you're someone important!"
After saying that, Gu Yao kicked the chair next to her hard, and then stormed out of the study.
She admitted that she liked Wen Lu and genuinely considered him a friend, but she couldn't stand anyone saying a bad word about Mei Ying, no matter who it was.
