Chapter 20 The Murderer is Caught



Only Huo Yinghuai looked at Wen Sirou and then slowly moved a few steps closer to Wen Li.

Meanwhile, news of Wen Xingming's fire incident once again became a trending topic.

With such a large fire breaking out on set last night, it's impossible that the paparazzi staking out outside didn't notice. Some even sneaked in and filmed some videos.

The internet exploded instantly.

Although I really dislike Wen Xingming, this guy doesn't deserve to die.

We're just saying it casually. If he dies, who else can we have fun with?

I wonder how things are now. I hope the person isn't burned to a crisp?

Although we often criticize him, this guy is really handsome. It would be a real shame if he were disfigured.

Being disfigured is considered lucky; surviving is a blessing.

Skin burns are the most terrifying, and the subsequent treatment is simply torture.

The building collapsed; there's no way they can save the people. It's such a pity.

...

Wen Xingming scrolled through some comments and was shocked to find that his comment section was surprisingly harmonious.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Xingming silently sat down next to Wen Li, then raised his phone and pressed the shutter button before Wen Li could react.

Click!

Wen Li looked up when she heard the sound, and Wen Xingming quickly explained, "Many fans online are concerned about our health, so I'm sending them a photo to let them know we're safe."

Wen Li tilted her head, her big eyes revealing utter shock: "You have fans?"

She thought that Wen Xingming's more than ten million followers were all haters who followed him specifically to make it easier to criticize him.

After all, their mutual following had affected innocent bystanders, causing them to get scolded as well.

Later, Zhou Xingyun helped her delete the comments one by one.

“You underestimate me too much,” Wen Xingming said with dissatisfaction. “Back in the day, my fans could stretch from Tiananmen Square to the Siberian steppe.”

The number of fans they have could circle the Earth at least three times!

Wen Li glanced at Wen Xingming briefly, but didn't dare to expose him.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Xingming posted photos of himself and Wen Li on Weibo.

Wen Xingming: [Thank you for your concern. I'm still alive. @WenLi, thank you so much for saving my life! A narrow escape from death is sure to bring good fortune!]

Fans, haters: ? ? ?

"Weren't you dead?"

[Holy crap, did he come back to life? Wasn't he supposed to be buried in the fire? The house looks collapsed in the video, and he was pulled out of the rubble!]

[Hey buddy, it's not your seventh day memorial today, is it?]

...

Wen Xingming's resurrection stunned netizens, especially since he specifically tagged Wen Li, prompting many to click and watch.

Wen Li's Weibo account currently has 3,000 followers, but only two posts.

One is to promote their new drama and new role.

The other one is the exact same picture as the one in Wen Xingming's pinned Weibo post.

Everyone: ? ? ?

These two are definitely no good when they're together.

[The collusion between these two forces is confirmed.]

[No, is there any special meaning behind this talisman?]

[It's said that several trolls said they stepped in dog poop after they finished hurling insults.]

Is it true or false?

To be honest, I'd never paid attention to Wen Li before, but after seeing the poster, I think she's even prettier than the female lead. Her aura is truly unique.

【Our Ningning is beautiful too, okay? Don't be so mean to put her down like that!】

...

Then Wen Li's comment section erupted into a fierce battle.

Wen Li gained 100,000 new followers with just one concept poster image and successfully completed her Weibo verification.

The next day, Wen Tingsong arrived at the paternity testing center as scheduled.

Wen Tingsong was wearing a well-fitting suit, but his hair was a little messy and his eyes were dark, indicating that he hadn't rested well on the plane.

After getting off the plane, he heard his eldest son talk about what happened yesterday, and his attitude changed a lot when he saw Wen Li again.

He always brings gifts for Wen Sirou when he goes on business trips, but this time he also brought one for Wen Li.

"Thank you for saving Xingming," Wen Tingsong said softly, his tone full of sincerity.

Wen Li blinked and said bluntly, "We'll be family soon, no need to be so polite."

As she spoke, Wen Li handed the gift to Huo Yinghuai, asking him to keep it safe for her.

Huo Yinghuai stood next to Wen Li without saying a word, leaving the stage to Wen Li.

Wen Tingsong noticed Huo Yinghuai and was somewhat surprised: "Yinghuai, what are you doing here?"

"Xiao Li is my savior, and she is currently staying at my house."

Wen Tingsong was even more surprised.

Huo Yinghuai appeared gentle, but was actually cold-hearted. He was somewhat surprised that Huo Yinghuai would let Wen Li live under the same roof.

The two families had a good relationship, and Huo Yinghuai was the undisputed head of the Huo family, so after exchanging pleasantries, they got down to business.

I underwent a paternity test as arranged by the staff.

Wen Li thought she could announce it on the spot, but the staff smiled and said, "Results that come out on the same day are not very practical. It will take at least three days."

Wen Li was somewhat disappointed and murmured, "I thought technology was advancing so fast, but it turns out it's not even as fast as my fortune telling."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tingsong twitched his lips but remained silent.

Wen Sirou also came out after taking the sample, but her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances.

Wen Tingsong felt sorry for his daughter: "Sirou, don't overthink it."

Wen Sirou felt resentful, but she spoke very obediently: "I believe Dad."

"When we get home later, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make your favorite Four Happiness Meatballs, how about that?" Wen Tingsong coaxed.

Wen Sirou forced a smile, revealing a pale one: "Okay."

The family said goodbye to Wen Li. Wen Li watched the ostentatious and luxurious Rolls-Royce drive away before she came to her senses and said, "Huo Yinghuai, I also want to eat Four Happiness Meatballs today."

Huo Yinghuai's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his head slightly.

He couldn't see Wen Li's expression clearly, but he could sense that she was feeling unwell.

Rubbing his fingers against the hair on his fingertips, Huo Yinghuai nodded: "Okay, let's have a large portion today."

Wen Li: "Don't let my agent know."

Huo Yinghuai was both amused and exasperated.

He'd probably agree to anything Wen Li said.

After eating the Four Happiness Meatballs, Huo Yinghuai escorted Wen Li back to her hotel.

The production team is still investigating, and Wen Li and Wen Xingming may be questioned by the police at any time.

Today, the police investigated nearby surveillance footage and found that someone was secretly smoking on set and then casually throwing the still-burning cigarette butt on the ground.

Two minutes later, sparks appeared on the dry lawn, and the fire spread all the way to the power lines on the film set's grounds, which quickly ignited the fire.

However, the surveillance footage only captured a blurry silhouette, making it impossible to identify who was who at first glance.

But when Wen Li and Wen Xingming saw the surveillance footage, they exclaimed almost in unison, "It's Meng Chen!"
