“But I know that there must be She Jiameng’s spies in my hometown, so I don’t dare to go back. I thought it would be better to stay in this city since it’s the darkest place.”
“I’ve done many jobs, but thankfully, I haven’t been found by She Jiameng’s people again.”
Hua Changle frowned slightly: "It sounds like you don't want to be targeted by She Jiameng anymore, so why are you so willing to help me?"
Chen Wu gave her a sharp look: "You suspect I'm one of She Jiameng's people, and you doubt that I'm genuinely helping you?"
"Whether you are or not, I still have the ability to judge," Hua Changle said with a faint smile.
"I trust my judgment. I just want to confirm your feelings."
Chen Wu's gaze remained calm: "The reason is simple. I believe in your abilities. I think you can handle She Jiameng and also allow me to no longer live in anonymity but to be reborn."
Hua Changle thought of Su Xiaoyan and asked:
"Aren't you afraid your safety will be threatened? Aren't you afraid of implicating your family? Although I will protect my people, aren't you afraid of accidents?"
Chen Wu laughed instead: "I'm not afraid."
"I'm not afraid of danger, because I'm tired of hiding."
“I won’t implicate my family because I’ve already been abandoned. They’re not on good terms with each other, they fear the power of the She family, they value their own lives more, and I’m insignificant.”
“I’m not afraid of any accidents. She Jiameng knows one thing about me that I can’t threaten you.”
"In the end, I am all alone, with only a worthless life, so I have nothing to be afraid of."
Hua Changle smiled slowly: "I admire your fearlessness."
Chen Wu paused for a moment, then said, "I admire your actions even more."
Although she didn't know what Hua Changle looked like, she had heard of her name quite a bit.
"I'm not so scared now, but that's because I've learned that fear is useless. Fear won't protect you from any harm or danger. The only things you can rely on are your own abilities and your life."
“My fearlessness came at a price. I witnessed darkness, saw the wickedness of human nature, lost my loved ones and family, and abandoned my original self.”
"I have nothing to admire; I'm just a complete failure."
Hua Changle seemed lost in thought.
Chen Wu's words touched her heart.
When she said, "Fearlessness comes at a price," for some reason, her heart clenched, she felt a moment of disorientation, and her consciousness seemed to be detached for a split second.
It's like feeling so deeply that you're drawn into the numbness that follows despair.
She couldn't help but overthink.
Was the original owner's fearless and unscrupulous revenge against the Hua family also because she was all alone?
What else did she lose?
"Hua Changle? Miss Changle?" Chen Wu called her twice before Hua Changle came back to her senses.
Hua Changle said, "Don't be too pessimistic. We've already overcome the most difficult times, so maybe things will be smooth sailing from now on?"
Chen Wu forced a smile: "Thank you for your kind words."
“Don’t worry,” Hua Changle chuckled. “I’m not so bad that I can’t even protect one of my own people.”
"It's just not convenient for you to come to my side right now, in case She Jiameng notices anything amiss. I'll have to trouble you to stay here for the time being; I'll send someone to protect you."
Chen Wu refused: "If you need me to stay here, then there's no need to have someone watch over me; that would only attract more attention."
"Yes, it was my oversight."
Chen Wu thought for a moment and said, "How about this, would it be convenient for you to leave your contact information? If there's any unexpected situation, I'll contact you immediately for help."
Hua Changle then exchanged contact information with her, and the two then got back to the main topic.
"Do you know how Yue Ningchu's body might have been disposed of? Or how much do you know about She Jiameng's connections?" Hua Changle asked.
Chen Wu did not hide anything and explained in detail:
“I don’t know the whereabouts of Yue Ningchu’s body, but I know that there is someone with She Jiameng who is definitely not ordinary. He had followed Yue Ningchu before, which may be related to the disappearance of her body.”
"What kind of person?"
Chen Wu recalled: "He was a tall, thin man with a fierce-looking face, a bit sleazy, and a menacing aura about him. He looked like a ruthless character."
Hua Changle pulled up a screenshot from a surveillance camera, showing the person in the picture as the old mule who had been chatting and trading with She Jiameng.
Chen Wu looked at it for a while and nodded: "It looks very much like him! I can't remember the facial features, but the appearance and feeling are just like this person."
Hua Changle already had a plan in mind.
Old Mule is from District Seven.
It seems that if we want to continue investigating She Jiameng's case, we must focus our efforts on District Seven.
Through a brief exchange of information, Hua Changle and Chen Wu established a partnership.
"Okay, thank you for telling me all this. I'll contact you again when I need something, at a suitable time."
Hua Changle extended an olive branch to Chen Wu: "Chen Wu, would you like to work for the Hua family's company? The Hua family has a strict system, but the benefits are indeed good, and they mainly value ability."
Hua Qingyun is a bold person in business, but a person who follows the rules and regulations in life and attaches great importance to rules and regulations.
Moreover, inheriting Hua Lihan's dislike of social niceties, the Hua family company prioritizes ability, and with Chen Wu's talent, he can achieve great success.
But Chen Wu did not agree. Instead, he said, "If one day you need an agent, then please consider me."
Hua Changle smiled and said, "Definitely."
"Sister Xiao Mo, come and sit down."
After finishing discussing She Jiameng's matter, Hua Changle called her back.
Hua Changle remembered something: "By the way, I've always been curious, how did you guess that I was specifically looking for you? Was my disguise very fake?"
