Chapter 410: Reminiscing with Old Friends
Wu Sangui breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You finally figured it out. You don't realize there's still a lot of things waiting for us to do! I was so worried that you would get serious about this matter. Why bother?"
"I know the importance of things. Why are you here? Are you in a hurry to find me?"
"Yeah, it's really one thing after another. Isn't Lv Zhenzhen an important witness in this case? I planned to find her to identify Wei Zongxian, but she didn't answer the phone. I went to her address and no one was there. Her parents said that Lv Zhenzhen had found a new job and was on a business trip, so it would be inconvenient for her to answer the phone while she was away."
"That's pure bullshit, but it can only fool elderly people like Lu Zhenzhen's parents. What's the name of her new company? Where is it located? I'm afraid these inexperienced girls will end up in some shady company like last time."
"No way! I've checked that company and it's very strong. It's definitely not some shady company. And the current owner has a close relationship with you."
Xu Lin looked at Wu Sangui suspiciously and said jokingly, "Are you talking about the Junyue Group?"
Wu Sangui: "I really am not lying to you."
Xu Lin: "So what you mean is..."
Wu Sangui: "I don't mean anything. It's just that Situ and you have such a good relationship. If you ask him about Lu Zhenzhen, Situ will definitely tell you more than I would."
Xu Lin: "Bah! I have to make it clear again that I have drawn a line between myself and that jerk who was full of lies and even lied to his friends. We are no longer friends."
Wu Sangui: "Then...will you come this time or will I go?"
Xu Lin: "I'll go, I'll go. I have something to ask him anyway."
Wu Sangui: "Then I'll leave Lü Zhenzhen's matter to you."
Xu Lin came to the golf resort villa area. Nothing here had changed much, but everything and the people were different.
She thought about the time when she and Junlan used to take walks around here and play with the children. The lake was still there, the trees were still there, but the people were gone.
Xu Lin put away her long-lost thoughts and knocked on the door of Situ Villa's house.
Situ seemed a little surprised to see Xu Lin coming. Because of the previous misunderstanding, he thought that Xu Lin might never come to him again in this life, whether for public or private reasons.
"Now that you're here, come in and sit down!" But he still very gentlemanly invited Xu Lin into the house.
She went in to take a look. Although the community had not changed much, the villa had changed a lot. It almost looked nothing like it did when Jun Lan lived there.
"There is no trace left here of Jun Lan's past residence." Xu Lin felt very sorry.
Situ closed the door and sat on the sofa.
"If you miss her, you can visit my old home, the Seaside Gardens. All traces of her life are preserved there."
"Forget it. I don't know most of the people living there now. What's the use of watching her? She won't come back. It will only add to the sadness."
In fact, Wanwan was taking care of the unconscious Lu Zhenzhen in the guest room at that time.
Situ: "Did you come here just to reminisce about the past? After that incident, I thought you were really angry and would never come to see me again."
Xu Lin: "Do I look so stingy? Why don't you welcome me here? Or is there some shameful secret hidden in your family?"
Situ: "You're here again. This time we agreed that we have to talk it out properly and not quarrel anymore!"
Xu Lin: "If you don't want to argue, then don't argue. You make it sound like I'm the one who always stirs up trouble. If you always told me the truth, our relationship wouldn't be as low as it is now. After all, I make friends with my heart, unlike you who always lie."
This really left Situ speechless, because there were too many people involved here, and he didn't want to put his other friends in danger because of a true friend.
In order to ease the awkwardness, he could only change the subject.
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. Xu Lin, I know you too well. I bet you're here for more than just catching up on the past, right? Tell me, is there anything I can help you with? I won't refuse if I can."
"Can you believe what you say?" Xu Lin was skeptical.
"You can first explain your purpose and then consider the truth of what I said."
"We have captured Wei Zongxian."
"I knew this bastard would be caught one day."
"He said you told him Fang Xiaoshen was your brother?"
"You lied to him. Why tell so much truth to a stranger?"
"He also said that the missing female patient was your sister?"
"I was just trying to trick him, but it's also a temporary solution. I was afraid they wouldn't take that crazy woman away if I didn't say so. She almost bit off a piece of flesh from Fang Xiaoshen's hand that night!"
Xu Lin thought to herself, "Your family's relationships are really complicated. You never know when a new sister, brother, or younger brother will show up. I really don't understand how Jun Lan has been able to tolerate you for so long."
She coughed, then continued, "You should still remember that Lu Zhenzhen, right?"
Situ: "Yes, that day I saw that we were so destined to be together, and since she was unemployed and had nowhere to go, I arranged for her to work in our company."
Xu Lin: "Then can you contact her now?"
Situ: "Oh, what a coincidence! I just sent her on a business trip. I don't know if it's because the signal is bad there or she's just having fun, but I haven't heard from her at all. I called her but it was busy. But she will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest. If you have any questions, just ask her directly! But can I ask out of curiosity why you are looking for her?"
Xu Lin: "It's nothing, actually. It's just that Wei Zongxian's case is nearing its end, and Lu Zhenzhen's confession is particularly important. She will have to testify in court."
Situ: "That should be no problem. She will take the initiative to look for you when she comes back."
Xu Lin: "Okay, I'll consider you as her guarantor. Wait for her for two more days. If she doesn't show up by then, the situation will become serious."
Situ: "This shouldn't happen."
At this time, the door opened and a person who made Xu Lin feel very familiar came in.
"Aunt Xu, you're here." Mingli walked over and greeted her with a smile.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that after so many years, Xiao Mingli has grown so big."
Xu Lin touched his head with relief.
"If your mother Junlan saw you like this, she would be so happy!"
Situ couldn't help but join in the conversation, "Who says not? This kid has great potential. I've only taught him for a few years, and he was admitted to the University of Political Science and Law as an exception without taking the entrance exam. It really makes me proud."
Xu Lin: "This is the thing I'm most satisfied with you for all these years. Apart from anything else, you've really taught Mingli very well. I used to worry that Mingli would go astray, but thankfully you've proven that I was just being overly concerned."
Situ: "The facts prove that there are indeed many things that you are overthinking."
Seeing Mingli was present, Xu Lin didn't know what to say directly. She thought to herself, "Situ, stop flattering yourself!"
Suddenly there was a loud "clang" in a room upstairs.
