Or in other words, it is impossible for Chen Yan not to be upset.
Raising a cat, or buying another cat, is actually not a big deal, but the bad thing is that the owner who wants to buy a new cat is Wen He.
Caught off guard, Chen Yan couldn't help but recall his experiences from the beginning to now.
It seemed like Wen He really loved cats, especially big, handsome cats like him. When they first met in the sealed land, Wen He's eyes were filled with joy. Not only did she pet the cat's head and stroke its fur, but when she gave the cat a bath, she even struggled with whether to rub it or wash the parts that shouldn't be rubbed or washed! It was only because of his struggle and reserve that she changed her mind!
But the other cats didn't. How could they bathe themselves so instinctively? They were definitely just relying on that girl! Not only that, but she would definitely pet the new big cat, rub against him enthusiastically, and even pet him to sleep without warning!
When thinking of all these possibilities, Chen Yan felt unwell, and his face was so dark that he couldn't look at it at all. Such a look directly forced Chen Xiu, who had just hung up the phone, to break out in a cold sweat on his back. He thought that he had just disturbed their patriarch by answering the phone, so he apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, patriarch, I must have disturbed you just now. I will pay attention next time..."
"Are you going to see the cat tomorrow?"
"Well, we agreed to go see it tomorrow at noon..."
When Shen Yan asked this, Shen Xiu answered subconsciously. It was also because Shen Yan's aura was too strong. It was so strong that Shen Xiu almost didn't think much before he blurted out everything he knew.
For example, what's going on at the old house lately? Are there any other people causing trouble? Or, is Wen He really sad after losing the cat? How is his mood? Or, after discovering the cat is missing, did Wen He go looking for it? And so on.
Chen Xiu answered them one by one. Although he had not been to the old house recently and heard all the information from Ji Changhe, the big mouth, he still knew the general situation.
"... Everything is normal at the old house, and there are no accidents. The only unexpected situation is that Wen He's big cat is missing. It seems that Wen He had looked for the cat on the day she came back a while ago, but couldn't find it, and she has been feeling a little depressed ever since. Although she has been adjusting her mood well recently and sometimes smiles, Ji Changhe would say that it is ugly. He said that Wen He's smile is too forced and not pretty at all. Although Wen He said that no other big cat could replace her original big cat, her mother was really worried and persuaded her to get another big cat to divert her attention. So she asked Ji Changhe and I to go and check on the cat together."
This was the general situation at the old house. Shen Xiu finished speaking in one breath, but after he finished, he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss. Why was Shen Yan suddenly asking about Wen He's situation? Wen He? No, wait, this was really wrong. Shen Yan, who had just woken up, should have known only the Shen family. Maybe he could count the few metaphysical masters he had met on the day he woke up, but he shouldn't know anyone else. How could he know Wen He? But when he asked just now, Shen Yan had actually mentioned Wen He's name in full?
Did Chen Yan... know that girl Wen He? When did this happen? And it seemed like Chen Yan was very familiar with the old house, as if he had been there for a long time. Especially Chen Yan's last sentence, "I'll go there tomorrow too," made Chen Xiu even more certain of this.
Chen Xiu couldn't help but wonder. How did Chen Yan know about Wen He? Did Master Xuanming and Zhang Daxian tell him the day he woke up? And, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Xiu felt like Chen Yan seemed particularly interested in Wen He. Had they... crossed paths before? When did it happen?
But since Shen Yan had already spoken, Shen Xiu really didn't dare to refuse. He always felt that if he didn't agree, he would probably be shot to death by the eyes of many elders of the Shen family tomorrow. Oh, no, there was no need to wait for the elders of the Shen family. Shen Yan's extremely strong aura alone was enough to make him breathless.
So, the next day, Shen Xiu took Shen Yan away from the Shen family and went straight to the place agreed with Ji Changhe. However, when they were just one intersection away from reaching the agreed pet shop, the road ahead was suddenly blocked and they couldn't move at all. For a moment, the cars around them honked, urging them to move faster and not to stop.
"What's wrong? Why is there such a traffic jam so early in the morning? Isn't this road usually easy to travel on? Especially at this time of year, even though there are a lot of cars, it shouldn't be this congested, right? I still have to hurry!"
The driver next to him rolled down his window, stuck his head out and complained dissatisfiedly. This complaint immediately resonated with the other drivers around him, and they also spoke out in dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Usually the road next door is jammed, but this one isn't. I took a long way to get here, but who would have thought it would be so jammed. It's been almost ten minutes, and it's still not moving. What's going on up ahead? It's so congested, are they doing road construction? But it's impossible for the road to be completely unmoved even if it's under construction?"
"It's not road repairs. What kind of road repairs are they? I heard that there was a big truck turning at the corner ahead and it suddenly stopped, blocking the road completely. I don't know if it broke down or what, and the driver didn't get out either. I don't know what happened."
"I don't know, but I saw someone getting off the bus in front of me to see what was going on..."
Listening to the buzzing discussions of the drivers around them, Chen Xiu and Shen Yan couldn't help but frown slightly. It seemed that they would not be able to arrive at the agreed place on time. Moreover, with such a traffic jam in front and behind, their car could not even move, and they couldn't even go back and take a detour. There was no other way, so Chen Xiu could only call Ji Changhe to explain the situation.
However, unexpectedly, as soon as the call was connected, the sound on Ji Changhe's end was extremely noisy. Not only was there the noisy "beep beep" sound of cars, but there was also an extremely noisy and bustling voice of people, as if something had happened.
"Hello? Is this Chen Xiu? It's me, Chang He. I was just about to call you when you called. The situation here is not good. I'm afraid I can't go. I'm stuck on the highway and can't move. I can't even turn back."
"What? Is there a traffic jam over there too?"
"Also? Chen Xiu, is there a traffic jam on your side? But the road you took should not be congested, why is it suddenly congested?"
"I don't know the exact situation, but a large truck suddenly stopped at a corner. What's going on over there?"
"It was a car accident, a chain reaction. Other drivers nearby saw the driver suddenly convulse in the car. It seemed as if his body couldn't control him and he stepped on the accelerator, which directly triggered the chain reaction. It was just confirmed that the driver suddenly died in the car, but the specific cause of death is still unknown..."
Died suddenly in the car…? Chen Xiu was stunned. He didn't expect such an answer. Just as he was about to say something, the crowd in front of him suddenly screamed and suddenly became chaotic. He didn't know who rushed over and shouted, "Dead, dead, the truck driver in front is dead… dead, it seems he died suddenly, just when the truck was turning…"
Another sudden death? The timing is so coincidental?
Instinctively, Chen Xiu felt that something seemed amiss, and almost subconsciously turned his head to look at Chen Yan beside him. Sure enough, Chen Yan's brows were slightly knitted, and almost subconsciously pinched his fingers to count, and his brows knitted even tighter. "This doesn't seem right. The time of death and the cause of death are too coincidental. If we extrapolate a little further, the two drivers might have died suddenly at the same time. I suspect there's something wrong, but the information here is incomplete. I need more information to make a judgment. Chen Xiu, is that girl Wen He in the other car?"
Because both sides were very noisy just now, both Ji Changhe and Chen Xiu turned up the volume of their phones to the maximum in order to hear each other's voices clearly. It can be said that the situation on Chen Xiu's side and what Chen Yan said just now were also heard clearly by the person on the other end of the phone.
Not only did Ji Changhe hear it clearly, but even Wen He, who was sitting in Ji Changhe's car, heard it clearly and quickly recognized the man who suddenly called out her name. It was none other than the head of the Shen family who had just woken up a while ago, the metaphysical genius, Chen Yan! He was also the stinky hooligan who grabbed her as soon as he woke up, pressed her down and kissed her, and asked her to be his woman!
It can even be said that the moment he recognized the voice, Wen He subconsciously resisted and didn't want to talk to Shen Yan directly. Such reluctance was revealed directly on the surface. Not to mention Ji Changhe, even Wen's mother beside him felt that Wen He's expression seemed to be wrong, and couldn't help but look over with a little worry.
Ji Changhe was even more embarrassed. For a moment, he didn't know what to do with the phone in his hand. Judging from Wen He's expression, he probably didn't want to answer the call, but the other party directly called out Wen He's name. It seemed that the other party was also a master of metaphysics, and it seemed that he called Wen He for something important. So what should he say next, "Is Wen He there or not?"
However, Wen He didn't let Ji Chang He feel awkward for too long. Although she was very reluctant, she still knew the priorities and the proper balance. After taking a deep breath, Wen He finally answered Ji Chang He's call and said in a stiff voice, "I'm here. I'm Wen He. What can I do for you?"
