It's important to understand that if the incident at the construction site escalates, it could very well affect the Li family.
Although Li Daocheng had always wanted to take the company back, he wouldn't stoop to doing something so selfish and harmful to others.
She and Wen Changfeng have always been at odds, so it's possible that he was behind it all.
However, although she thought this in her heart, without clear evidence, she suppressed her restlessness for the time being.
"It's not certain yet; we need to investigate further to confirm."
Seeing her serious expression, Shirakawa nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In fact, he had other things to do. If he hadn't found some clues and wanted to discuss them with Li Ruo, he probably wouldn't have been able to come to the hospital at all.
The two chatted for a while longer, and after confirming their next plan, Shirakawa left.
Li Ruo, on the other hand, returned to her hospital room and began dealing with company matters.
The afternoon passed smoothly. Li Ruo glanced at the time and remembered what Wen Huaiyan had said that morning, so she decided to go to the Romantic Hotel again.
After making up an excuse to appease Jiang Luo, she left the hospital.
As soon as he stepped out of the hospital, sure enough, he saw his car parked on the side of the road, with Lao Zhao waiting inside.
Upon seeing her, Old Zhao got out of the car and handed over the car keys.
"Thanks!"
Seeing this, Li Ruo nodded to him before getting into the car and heading straight to the Romantic Hotel.
Looking at the familiar light sign overhead, Li Ruo's eyes flickered slightly.
Just then, Wen Huaiyan called.
Li Ruo was taken aback and subconsciously answered the call. She heard the man's deep voice: "Don't go into the alley yet, so as not to alert them. Wait for my message."
The man's words were concise, yet they miraculously calmed Li Ruo's heart.
"good!"
She agreed and then went into a small teahouse nearby.
We made our way to a private room on the second floor, ordered a cup of tea, and sat by the window, where we could see the entire alley across the street.
At this moment, Wen Huaiyan had found a wig, disguised himself, and was waiting here.
As time passed, the bar next door became noisy again.
Listening to the loud music, Wen Huaiyan frowned. So much time had passed, could it be that those two weren't coming?
As he pondered this, a man dressed in black and wearing a hat appeared at the entrance of the alley not far away.
Almost instantly, Wen Huaiyan recognized the person who had come.
Although he hadn't seen the two people who had taken Li Ruo away last night, the man's attire was exactly the same as yesterday.
As his thoughts raced, he raised an eyebrow and immediately walked forward.
The man, unsuspecting, whispered, "Where's the stuff?"
Wen Huaiyan's expression remained unchanged as he took out the hidden camera and then spoke in a deep voice: "Final payment."
"You'll get your share."
The man probably knew what kind of temper these thugs had, so he took an envelope out of his pocket.
The envelope was bulging, and you could tell at a glance that there were quite a few.
"Cash on delivery."
Hearing the other party's wary words, Wen Huaiyan nodded slightly in agreement.
He handed the hidden camera to the other party, then grabbed the envelope and started lighting it, perfectly embodying the image of a mercenary.
"Speaking of which, why would you want me to film a woman?"
Upon hearing this, the man frowned: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. If there are no other problems, I'll be leaving now."
But before he could get an answer, how could Wen Huaiyan possibly let him go?
He immediately stepped forward, adopting a confrontational stance: "Why are you in such a hurry? Although I agreed to cooperate with you, the money isn't much. What if the police find out?"
Unexpectedly, he still dared to pester him. The man's eyes turned cold: "Get out of my way!"
Watching him put the things in his pocket and leave, Wen Huaiyan snorted coldly: "If you don't explain yourself clearly today, don't even think about leaving."
"court death!"
After being repeatedly blocked, the man became completely impatient and immediately pulled out a dagger.
Damn it!
Li Ruo, who was upstairs, immediately noticed something was wrong. Her expression changed instantly, and she rushed out without thinking.
Unfortunately, she was too slow; by the time she entered the alley, the man's figure had already disappeared into the darkness.
Wen Huaiyan was leaning against the wall, panting heavily.
"Wen Huaiyan, how are you?"
Sensing something was wrong, Li Ruo hurriedly grabbed him, but the next moment she heard a muffled groan, followed by a wet sensation on her palm.
In the dim light, she realized that her palms were covered in blood.
"You're injured..."
"That man was a trained fighter; he not only had a knife hidden on him, but I was also completely unprepared..."
As he spoke, he exhaled sharply, clearly unable to hold on any longer.
Li Ruo's heart sank: "I'll take you to the hospital."
She put her arm around the man's as she walked out of the alley.
Once she got into the car, she noticed that half of Wen Huaiyan's sleeve was stained red, indicating that he was seriously injured.
"Don't fall asleep, or you might never wake up again."
At this moment, Wen Huaiyan's face was extremely pale, and he spoke weakly: "Wouldn't it be better if I died?"
