Chapter 663 The person behind the scenes is Wen Luoyun
Wen Luoyun pointed to Kong Wange and Murong Ting and whispered, "That's the master's apprentice."
Kong Wange nodded and said to the young man, "Hello."
The young man's eyes remained glued to his phone: "Choose whatever you want, the prices are all over the place."
"Excuse me, we're not here to buy jewelry, but rather to ask you to help us alter some pieces," Kong Wange said.
This time, the young man finally raised his head. He first glanced at Wen Luoyun, then walked behind the stage and said, "Let me make this clear beforehand, our alteration fees aren't cheap. What kind of jewelry? How do you want it altered?"
"Can you change the engraving?" Kong Wange asked.
The young man glanced at Wen Luoyun again out of the corner of his eye and said, "Take out the jewelry first, let me take a look."
Kong Wange paused slightly.
As before, Wen Luoyun smiled considerately upon seeing this and said, "Then you two continue talking, I'll go take a walk around the neighborhood."
Kong Wange said gratefully, "Buy whatever you like, it's on me."
Wen Luoyun clicked her tongue: "I'm not happy if you keep being so formal."
After saying that, she patted Kong Wange on the shoulder, turned around, and walked out.
After the person left, Kong Wange and Murong Ting exchanged a glance. Murong Ting then took out the hairpin and handed it to the young man: "This is it."
After he finished speaking, he and Kong Wange stared intently at each other's reactions.
When the previous shops saw the hairpin, some said it could be altered, and some said it couldn't, but none of them recognized it.
This is the last shop they're visiting today. If the other party doesn't recognize it either, they'll have to leave empty-handed.
The young man picked up the hairpin, examined it, and after a long while deliberately frowned, saying, "Isn't this the hairpin my master just modified a while ago? It's only been a few days, why is it being modified again?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Kong Wange and Murong Ting both gasped for breath.
"Did you change the inscription?" Murong Ting pressed.
“Yes,” the shopkeeper said naturally, “It was delivered a few days before the New Year. This kind of hairpin is made of a special material. My master modified it for a long time.”
This hairpin was actually altered at this shop!
"Do you remember what the person who brought this hairpin looked like?!" Kong Wange asked, suppressing her excitement.
Once you know who the other party is, you'll definitely know who's secretly manipulating all of this.
“So many people come and go every day, how can we remember them all? We’re just doing our jobs, not checking household registers,” the young man said, giving the two of them a suspicious look before deliberately asking, “How did this hairpin end up in your hands? Did you steal it?”
Kong Wange said with the excuse she had prepared: "This hairpin was originally mine, but it was stolen not long ago. We reported it to the police, and the thief was probably scared and actually returned the hairpin. But we haven't been able to catch the thief. We're not at ease until we find him."
"Ha, you two are quite diligent, competing with the police for jobs." The young man's words were laced with sarcasm.
But Kong Wange was too lazy to argue, and asked again, "So please help me think carefully, whether it's a man or a woman, you must have some impression, right?"
The young man pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Oh, I vaguely remember. It was a woman, in her twenties? She was dressed all in black and wearing a mask, like she was afraid to be seen. She didn't even look at us when she spoke to us."
"Are there any other characteristics?" Kong Wange asked again.
"Hmm... she seems to have a scar on her face. Although she covered it with a mask, I still saw it when she turned to the side."
The woman, dressed in all black, wearing a mask, and afraid to be seen, had a scar on her face...
Kong Wange's brow twitched involuntarily.
Murong Ting and Kong Wange exchanged a glance, clearly both thinking of the same person—Wen Luoyun.
He looked at the young man and asked, "What words were originally engraved on this hairpin?"
The young man was very certain this time: "It's all about gentleness."
Gentle?!
Could it be Wen Zirou's hairpin?
Murong Ting asked again, "Do you remember what day this hairpin was taken?"
"Then I'll have to check the records." The young man took out a notebook in a serious manner, flipped through it for a while, and said, "It was brought in on the 17th and taken away on the 21st."
The package was taken away on the 21st, and the 23rd was New Year's Eve. Anya received the package on the evening of the 23rd, so the timing matched up.
Clearly, the other party deliberately altered the hairpin, then timed it perfectly to send the hairpin, letter, and phone together, pinning the huge accusation that "Boss Tang is Kong Wange's biological father" on her head.
Seeing the two men's unpleasant expressions, the young man behind the counter looked at Kong Wange and then at Murong Ting: "Gentlemen, I've told you everything I know. Shall we change this hairpin back?"
Not wanting to arouse excessive suspicion, Kong Wange then followed the procedure and inquired about the price of the modification work, before saying she would go back and consider it.
After saying that, she pulled Murong Ting away.
Both of them felt a little heavy-hearted and didn't notice that the young man behind them sent a message after they left.
At the same time, Wen Luoyun's phone lit up while she was queuing at the milk tea shop.
I opened the message, and it was from the jewelry store clerk: "[The person has been sent away as you instructed. When will the payment be settled?]"
Wen Luoyun narrowed her eyes slightly and decisively transferred a sum of money to the other party.
She used the identity Wen Luoyun to communicate with the young man.
After all, Wen Luoyun is no longer in this world; now, only Xu Ruoyun remains.
So what if they find out?
That's the end of the trail.
They got the answer and stopped investigating, while she perfectly preserved her current self, achieving the best of both worlds.
...
Stepping outside the shop, Kong Wange whispered to Murong Ting, "It really was Wen Luoyun! I should have known it was her doing!"
Murong Ting said in a deep voice, "That hairpin was most likely bought by your mother and Wen Zirou, one for each of them. Wen Luoyun found out about this and used it to make trouble. She really will stop at nothing to harm you."
Kong Wange pursed her lips: "Although we've figured out the hairpin, I still feel like something's not quite right. The hairpin and the letter can be forged, but how do you explain the cell phone?"
Murong Ting put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her, "Let's talk about these things later. Don't think about them anymore. Now that we know she's the one behind it, it's a major breakthrough. Fortunately, we know her quite well. As long as we're careful, I don't think she can cause too much trouble."
Kong Wange breathed a sigh of relief: "That makes sense. What about your aunt's side?"
"Don't worry, I'll explain." Murong Ting rubbed her head.
Kong Wange nodded. Just as the two reached the intersection, Wen Luoyun, carrying a bag, came up to them from a short distance away: "Wange, are you done chatting?"
Kong Wange composed herself and smiled, saying, "Yes, we really owe you a lot for your help this time. We are very satisfied with the chef's skills and the price here."
