Wen Lijing immediately perked up and sat up. "Has the location been there all along?"
"Yes, I checked. The repair shop is quite large, but it has been poorly managed and changed hands for a long time. Someone took over about half a year ago. I checked the current owner. He is Chinese and from a small town. He was sentenced to prison for robbing a local gold shop ten years ago and was only released two years ago. He has been doing odd jobs and doing nothing ever since. Logically, it is impossible for him to have so much money to take over such a large repair shop. It is indeed suspicious."
“A Chinese man…” Wen Lijing said immediately, “Do you have a photo of him? Send it to me.”
"I'll send it to you right away."
Upon receiving the photo, Wen Lijing's brow furrowed immediately. "It's him..."
"So, is this the person you're looking for?"
"Yes." Wen Lijing composed himself. "Keep a close eye on who's coming in and out."
"no problem."
“I’ve prepared some money for you. After this is over, you can leave the capital and live your own life as if we’ve never met.”
"We're friends, and I'll definitely help if I can. I don't need you to give me any money."
"Take it, it's not much money, it's just a small token of my appreciation, that's all."
Wen Lijing hung up the phone and started coughing violently again, coughing up a clot of blood.
Wen Lijing got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Looking at his pale face in the mirror, he forced a smile, "Wanwan, don't worry, I'll soon be able to atone for my sins with this life..."
......
Early the next morning.
Jiang Dong knocked on the door and entered the president's office.
"Master Zhan, I've already inquired. The assailant who attacked Meng Xinyi was masked, so we couldn't see his face. The two bodyguards protecting Meng Xinyi were afraid of being distracted, so they didn't give chase, and the assailant escaped. They retrieved the bullet from the scene and have already compared it; it's the same as the one that shot you at the company's entrance."
"Furthermore, I interrogated the three mercenaries we captured. According to their confessions, there were five of them who came to the capital, but they were split into two groups. They did not know what mission the other two had gone to carry out."
Zhan Jingting seemed to be deep in thought, "So the ambush on Meng Xinyi was also arranged by Wen Lijing?"
"But Master Zhan, these three people don't know who paid and instructed them. How can you be sure it's Wen Lijing?"
"At this critical juncture, there is no one else but him."
Jiang Dong nodded. "Even so, I can understand why Wen Lijing wants to kill you, but he seems to have no grudge against Meng Xinyi..."
"Sometimes, people don't kill for themselves."
"Then for whom would he kill?"
Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "Meng Xinyi is in cahoots with Zhan Xiuwen. If they can't get revenge on Zhan Xiuwen, they'll take it out on Meng Xinyi. That's only reasonable."
"You mean, someone wants to get rid of Zhan Xiuwen? Zhan Xiuwen is a cunning old fox who rarely makes enemies. It can only be the mastermind behind it all, because Zhan Xiuwen betrayed him."
“It seems this person is vindictive and won’t let Zhan Xiuwen off easily.” Zhan Jingting leaned back in his executive chair. “But that’s exactly what I want. Only when he makes a move will I have a chance to catch him.”
"What Master Zhan says is true."
“However, right now, the one who can draw him out the most isn’t Zhan Xiuwen, but Wen Lijing.” The man’s long, slender hand with distinct knuckles rested on the table, his index finger lightly tapping the solid wood desk. “Have you arranged everything I asked you to?”
"Replying to Master Zhan, everything has been arranged, please rest assured."
"Okay, we'll wait patiently."
......
In the afternoon, Wen Lixuan arrived at the Wen family villa and saw Wen Lijing preparing to leave.
"Brother, are you going out?"
"Yes, I'm going out."
"You're not feeling well, so try not to go out unless absolutely necessary. If you need anything, just tell me to take care of it."
“You can’t handle this; I need to do it myself.” Wen Lijing put his hand on his shoulder. “Lixuan, thank you for what you’ve been up to these past few days. Also, I apologize for my bad attitude towards you those days; I dragged you into this. I’m sorry.”
"Brother, why are you saying these things out of the blue?" Wen Lixuan's eyes instantly reddened. "We are brothers, I will never blame you."
"Okay, if you're willing, let's be brothers again in the next life."
It's a deal.
Wen Lijing hugged him tightly. "If Wanwan wakes up one day, please tell her I'm sorry. Tell her that I owe her, and I haven't paid it back in this life. If we meet again in the next life, I will never disturb her peaceful life again."
Wen Lixuan's nose stung with tears. "Brother, don't say these things. Listen to me and go to the hospital. Maybe there's still hope that you can wait for Wanwan to wake up and apologize to her in person."
Wen Lijing didn't say anything, but gently patted Wen Lixuan's back and quickly let go of him. "Alright, I should go now. Take good care of yourself."
Wen Lixuan smiled at him, "Brother, come back soon, we'll have dinner together tonight."
"good."
Although the repair shop is not located in the downtown area, it is not remote either. There is a vegetable market next door, which is very lively with people coming and going.
A black sedan drove into the repair shop, stopped, and the driver got out.
"Boss, do you need any help?" someone quickly stepped forward and asked.
"The tire seems to be leaking air."
"Okay, let me see. Please have a seat for a while."
The man looked around and saw only a mechanic checking his tires.
The man took out his phone and glanced at it. Taking advantage of the mechanic's inattention, he quickly walked inside.
He opened the door and had just stepped inside when a gun was pressed against his head from the side. "Don't move."
The room was large and filled with various car parts. Including the man next to him who was pointing a gun at him, there were five men in total. Three of them were foreigners, tall and muscular.
One of the men sitting on the sofa looked over, and after a few seconds of eye contact, immediately drew his gun and pointed it at him. "Wen Lijin!"
The others immediately drew their guns and aimed them at him!
The man slowly raised his hand, tore off the mask from his face, revealing a pale and handsome face.
"I never expected that you would recognize me after just a brief encounter at the hospital."
"People can disguise themselves, but the eyes are hard to see," the man said. "How did you find your way here?"
"That's none of your business," Wen Lijing said with a smile. "Just call him out."
The man scoffed, "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to point fingers here?"
“With this.” Wen Lijing tore open his black trench coat, revealing a bomb wrapped around his waist. “This weight is enough to level this place to the ground… By the way, he can’t escape. I’ve already set up surveillance around here. From now on, as soon as anyone leaves this auto repair shop, I will detonate the bomb. He won’t be leaving here alive.”
The man's face was cold. "What exactly do you want?"
"I'll say it again," Wen Lijing said, enunciating each word clearly, "call him out."
Just then, the hidden door in the wall was suddenly opened!
