"Only today do I realize how naive I was. The fact that you didn't kill me outright is probably the greatest mercy you could show me, isn't it?"
At this point, tears finally streamed down Wen Lu's face, landing directly on Wang Jinyu's eyes.
Wang Jinyu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wen Lu, who was squatting in front of him. His eyes were blurry from being drunk, and he could still see the person in front of him clearly.
"Heh, you really are a persistent ghost. What? Little thing, haven't you fooled me enough yet? How much more do you want to fool me before you're satisfied?"
After Wang Jinyu finished speaking, he suddenly sat up from the sofa, giving Wen Lu no time to react, and carried Wen Lu on his shoulder towards the bedroom.
When Wen Lu opened her eyes again, it was exactly three in the morning. She turned her head to look at the man sleeping peacefully next to her, and tears involuntarily slid down her cheeks.
She thought she was going to die here today, but unexpectedly, this man showed mercy in the end.
Wen Lu struggled to get out of bed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and looked at the bruises on her body. She smiled bitterly, feeling that this ending was too jarring.
Wen Lu came out of the bathroom, went into the dressing room to change into a clean set of clothes, then carefully took out the suitcase she had left there, packed all the clothes into the suitcase, found her equipment in the corner, and quietly left Wang Jinyu's house.
The moment the door closed, Wang Jinyu opened his eyes, his gaze filled with coldness. He thought Wen Lu would explain something to him, or say some sweet words to coax or beg him, to let him know that she cared about him, but nothing happened.
He kept telling himself that as long as she gave him a reason he could accept, he would be willing to forgive her.
But she didn't. After having physical intimacy with him, she was able to leave so gracefully and ruthlessly. This was indeed the Phantom's style. In the Phantom's world, there is only herself; she will not love anyone else.
Wen Lu walked out of the building and realized that it was raining so hard. She put her equipment on top of her suitcase, held an umbrella in one hand, and resolutely walked into the rain, leaving Wang Jinyu's world behind.
From now on, they will be like two parallel lines...
As Wen Lu emerged from the residential area, Sun Xin hurriedly got out of the car, took the things from Wen Lu's hands, and placed them in the trunk.
"Miss Wen, where are we going now? Should I take you to the hospital?"
Once in the car, Sun Xin's first reaction was to ask Wen Lu where they were going. He didn't dare to speculate on Wen Lu's thoughts, as he could tell that Wen Lu's expression was not good at the moment.
"No need, the Golden Island Hotel is fine."
Wen Lu doesn't want to see anyone right now; she just wants to hide away quietly for a while. She knows her own physical condition and doesn't need to go to the hospital at all.
The next day, Wen Lu was woken up by her phone. She turned over, hung up the phone casually, threw it aside, and pulled the covers over her head to continue sleeping.
Qian Lailai looked anxiously at Yan Nuo while holding her phone, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Yan Nuo, think of something! Try to find Wen Lu. This matter online has had a huge impact on Wen Lu. Saying that she was kept by an old man is simply absurd, but the evidence listed online seems like solid proof. Wen Lu is not coming out to clarify anything. What can we do?"
Yan Nuo sat on the sofa without saying a word. He didn't know what to do. Qian Lailai couldn't find Wen Lu, and neither could he.
After learning about this, he tried to contact Wen Lu and Wang Jinyu, but he couldn't get through to either of them on their phones.
Finally, Yan Nuo called Yan Luo, who told him not to act rashly and to ask Wang Jinyu and Wen Lu before deciding what to do. But there has been no news since.
“I can’t find her either. If I could find her, I wouldn’t be sitting here worrying with you. When did she leave yesterday? How come we don’t know anything about her?”
At this point, Yan Nuo looked at the butler standing to the side, who was equally anxious. The butler had discovered this news while watching the news that morning.
Then Butler Sun woke up Yan Nuo and Qian Lailai, only to find out that Wen Lu was no longer at home.
"I just checked the security footage outside the door. The young lady left here around 8 o'clock in a black Mercedes."
"Wait a minute, you said it was a Mercedes? That car should belong to Sun Xin. If that's the case, then Sun Xin should know where Wen Lu went."
Upon hearing such an important clue, Qian Lailai hurriedly called Dong Zhimeng, wanting to ask her for Sun Xin's phone number.
At this moment, Dong Zhimeng was still immersed in the joy of reuniting with her parents, and she sounded particularly excited when she answered Qian Lailai's call.
"Qian Lailai, why are you calling me at this time? I might not be able to get back to school until the afternoon. We're shopping at the mall with my parents and my younger brother right now."
Hearing Dong Zhimeng's cheerful tone, Qian Lailai swallowed what she was about to say. She pretended to be happy and envious of Dong Zhimeng before finally revealing her true purpose.
"Dong Zhimeng, you should have Sun Xin's phone number, right? Could you give me Sun Xin's phone number? I need to talk to him about something."
Upon hearing that Qian Lailai wanted to find Sun Xin, Dong Zhimeng was puzzled and unconsciously asked, "Aren't you with Wen Lu? Doesn't Wen Lu have Sun Xin's phone number?"
"Wen Lu isn't home. I'd like to ask Sun Xin for a favor. Just give me Sun Xin's phone number."
Qian Lailai became increasingly agitated as she looked at the online posts. If it weren't for her master, grandmaster, and junior uncle all warning her not to tell Wen Lu's fortune, she would have definitely found out where Wen Lu was now. Unfortunately, her abilities didn't allow it.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll send you Sun Xin's phone number."
After Dong Zhimeng finished speaking, she sent Sun Xin's phone number to Qian Lailai. Qian Lailai didn't have time to say anything more and hung up on Dong Zhimeng's call, and directly dialed Sun Xin's number.
Sun Xin's phone rang a few times before being answered. Upon hearing the familiar male voice on the other end, Qian Lailai spoke without hesitation: "Sun Xin, this is Qian Lailai, Wen Lu's friend. Wen Lu left in your car yesterday. Do you know where Wen Lu is?"
"Wen Lu is at the Jinzhou Hotel, what happened?"
When Sun Xin heard Qian Lailai's question, he answered without hesitation. He knew that Qian Lailai was Wen Lu's friend and had no intention of hiding anything.
Upon hearing the news that Wen Lu was at the Jinzhou Hotel, Qian Lailai was stunned. She remembered the photo in the rumor that spread the story about Wen Lu; the hotel card the old man gave Wen Lu was from the Jinzhou Hotel…
Thinking of this, Qian Lailai shook her head vigorously. Others might not know about her junior uncle, but she knew that he was extremely wealthy and would never do such a thing for money.
