Gyeongseong Railway Station.
A round, chubby, middle-aged man with a prosperous appearance got off the train, bundled up tightly.
When Wen's father came to pick him up, he lowered his voice and said, "You really shouldn't have come back?"
This person was Wu Ying.
He smiled, looking harmless, the kind of face that easily gains the trust of others: "But if I don't come, my heart will be constantly in turmoil."
He reached out his hand, and snowflakes fell from the sky, landing on his palm and melting quickly. He smiled and asked, "Has the person arrived?"
Mr. Wen nodded. Since Wu Ying was coming, Wen Yuennan would naturally be coming as well. Since the incident with Wen Minting last time, there was no need to avoid it now.
But the thought of his daughter gives him a headache.
Would they, as parents, really harm her? They almost made a mess of things just because of a few rumors.
Wen Yuennan wasn't beaten for nothing. She immediately sent a letter to Beidu to dissolve the engagement. The Wen family in Beidu also gave them a warning. If the family hadn't had no other suitable girls, this good marriage would have fallen through.
Now, Wen's father doesn't dare bring Wu Ying home anymore. If his loose-lipped daughter were to tell others, he really wouldn't know how to handle the situation...
Wu Ying covered most of her face with a scarf and followed Wen's father to the courtyard he had arranged in advance, having also notified Wen Minting to go there beforehand.
Zhang Desheng and his men had already laid an ambush around the courtyard. Upon hearing the commotion, they subtly waved their hands, and everyone hid themselves completely.
Wu Ying followed Wen's father into the courtyard and subconsciously looked around. Wen Yuennan came out with a frown and said, "Don't worry, I checked the surroundings before you came and there's nothing wrong."
"That's good, that's good..."
Wu Ying smiled as if she were very easy to talk to.
Once inside the house, Wen Yuennan's face immediately darkened: "Mr. Wu, your actions have made us very unhappy. You are being too willful."
Wu Ying said solemnly, "No, you don't understand how terrifying the Fu family is. If they find out I'm involved, I won't have a good ending. So I need to get an answer. You've been following Shi Lingheng around, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Wen Yuennan shook her head. Even when Wen Minting caused trouble last time, she almost thought she couldn't handle it, but she didn't find any unusual behavior from Shi Lingheng afterwards.
Wu Ying was still a little worried, but forced a smile: "That's good. If he finds out about me and follows the trail, you won't get away with it either."
Wen Yuennan's face darkened. He didn't need to restrain his emotions when facing Wu Ying like he would with an elder. What right did Wu Ying have to lecture him? If he weren't of any use, he thought he could sit here and act like a boss for no reason.
"You don't need to say more, we know."
She became a little impatient.
Wen's father and Wen Yuennan did not stay long. After agreeing to inform each other of any developments, Wen's father took Wen Yuennan back to his own home.
As Wu Ying closed the door in the courtyard, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the sound of someone leaping down from the high wall. Immediately afterward, she heard a familiar voice: "Brother Wu, shall we go over?"
Wu Ying had heard Zhang Desheng's voice when she was with Fu Weidong's mother.
He felt a pang of panic, but didn't show it on his face: "Oh, it's Brother Zhang! We haven't seen each other for so long, I've been thinking about you..."
Zhang Desheng looked him up and down with a half-smile, a sharp dagger in his hand gleaming coldly in the night.
