Chapter Twenty-Seven: Confusing
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when he left the Jiang family's mansion, and Shen Xiaoyao asked Jiang Wei to send him to the nearest subway station, and asked to get off. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
He planned to go to Wang Chen.
As a direct participant in that incident, Wang Chen must have important clues even if there is no really strong evidence.
After graduating from university, Wang Chen quickly found a job and told several brothers in the dormitory about the job. Shen Xiaoyao quickly found this medium-sized restaurant according to the address Wang Chen said.
"Hello sir, would you like to order or order now?" The waitress at the restaurant is a girl with clear eyebrows.
"Is your lobby manager's name Wang Chen?" Shen Xiaoyao asked, "I have something to do with him." β
"I'm sorry, Manager Wang left a week ago." The waiter replied, "The current lobby manager of our store is Manager Li Gang, if you have any problems, I will inform him now." β
"No thanks." Shen Xiaoyao waved his hand, turned around and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "What did you just say......?" Wang Chen: He left his job a week ago? β
"Yes, sir."
"A week ago...... Those were probably the days when Wang Chen came to me to confess. Shen Xiaoyao frowned and continued to ask, "What is the reason for his resignation?" β
The waiter replied uncertainly, "It seems that he submitted his resignation himself, but I don't know the specifics." β
"Thank you." Shen Xiaoyao nodded, and took out his mobile phone as he walked out.
He suddenly remembered the last time they met, Wang Chen said four words at the end - there will be no date in the future.
"There will be no time after that...... There will be no time after that...... Is there any deep meaning? Shen Xiaoyao's mind kept flashing Wang Chen's tearful face, and he felt as if he had grasped something.
Quickly found Wang Chen's phone number, and Shen Xiaoyao dialed it.
"I'm sorry, but the phone you are calling is off. sorryοΌthenumberβ¦β¦β
Putting down the phone, Shen Xiaoyao's face was not very good.
He knew that Wang Chen didn't like to play with mobile phones, and once the battery level of the mobile phone dropped below 30 percent, it would be charged immediately. This has not changed in the four years since the university. In other words, it is likely that he turned off his mobile phone himself.
Resign? Turn off your phone? Why?
"No, I have to go find him!" After a moment of silence, Shen Xiaoyao made a decision and reached out to stop a taxi.
Half an hour later, Shen Xiaoyao arrived at a dilapidated neighborhood in the middle of the old city of Jiangcheng.
Wang Chen's home is here.
Shen Xiaoyao came here a lot of times during college, and he was familiar with the doorman, so he said a few words casually and was let go. Then he turned around and found an apartment that looked old, walked up the stairs, and stopped in front of a door with the paint off.
The doorbell had fallen into disrepair and had long been broken, Shen Xiaoyao took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and knocked lightly twice.
"Knock Knock"
"Here we go!" A woman's voice came from the room, and it didn't take long for the door to squeak open, and a middle-aged woman dressed plainly appeared in front of Shen Xiaoyao.
This middle-aged woman is Wang Chen's mother, an honest housewife. Every time Shen Xiaoyao saw her before, she always had a smile on her face, but today, she had a sad face.
"Xiaoyao, it's you who came! Come in and sit! Seeing that it was Shen Xiaoyao outside the door, Wang's mother squeezed out a smile on her face, and turned sideways to let Shen Xiaoyao in.
"No need, Auntie." Shen Xiaoyao waved his hand, "I'm here to find Wang Chen, is he at home?" β
"After Wang Chen graduated and found a job, he has been living outside." Mother Wang shook her head, "If you have anything, I will call him now and ask him to come back." β
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and started dialing.
Shen Xiaoyao didn't stop it, after all, it would be better to try a few more times for such a thing as a phone call.
"Sorry, the phone you are calling is turned off......"
A few seconds later, Wang's mother put down the phone, her eyebrows furrowed, and muttered, "It's weird! This kid's phone never turns off! β
Shen Xiaoyao's heart moved, and asked, "Auntie, when was the last time Wang Chen contacted his family?" β
"It's been a week since I called, and I was very impressed with the last call." Wang's mother thought for a while and said, "That day, his tone was a little wrong, as if he was under a lot of pressure at work, but when I asked him what was going on, he refused to say it, he was really angry with me!" β
"A week? Something is wrong? Shen Xiaoyao's heart sank, and he was about to speak, when a pleasant voice like a silver bell came out of the room.
"Mom, is my brother back?"
Immediately after, Shen Xiaoyao saw that a little girl of five or six years old was leaning against the wall and walking towards the door step by step.
The little girl looks very cute, carved in pink like a porcelain doll, wearing a pink princess dress, bare feet, and a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth. But when Shen Xiaoyao saw her dull eyes, his heart trembled violently.
"Auntie, who is she?"
"Oh, this is Wang Chen's sister, her name is Xue'er." Mother Wang walked to the wall and picked up the girl, reproaching, "You kid! Why did you just run out like this, what if you fall? β
Although she said reproachful words, her eyes were full of pity and pity.
"Mom, is my brother back?" Xue'er stretched out her arm in Wang's mother's arms, groped forward, and soon touched Shen Xiaoyao's cheek, she stroked Shen Xiaoyao's face for a while, retracted her hand, and said in disappointment, "This brother, I'm sorry, I thought it was my brother who came back......"
Shen Xiaoyao's eyes widened, and the doubts in his heart became a little heavier.
He has known Wang Chen for four years, and he has never heard him say that he has a younger sister, and he has come to Wang Chen's house as a guest more than a dozen times, and he has never seen this little girl named Xue'er.
"Cher?" Shen Xiao looked at Wang's mother and asked, "Auntie, it seems that this is the first time I've seen Xue'er, right?" β
Mother Wang sighed deeply: "Xue'er, this girl has a hard life, and she was born weak and sickly. When she was two years old, she had a cold for more than a month, but the cold happened to be detected with fundus and vitreous hemorrhage, and the doctor said that she was in danger of losing her sight and needed to be operated on immediately. But at that time, the operation cost was more than one million, how could we have that much money...... It's all our fault, if it weren't for the lack of timely treatment, Xue'er wouldn't have ......"
Speaking of this, Wang's mother couldn't help herself, shed tears, could only raise her sleeve and wipe the corners of her eyes, smiled apologetically, and then continued: "More than a month later, Wang Chen suddenly came home and said that he had a million, and at that time his father thought he had done something bad and almost beat him half to death. Later, I learned that he was lucky and made money by gambling with others, and all the formalities were there. β
"Auntie, at that time, was Wang Chen in his freshman year?" Shen Xiaoyao's heart was shocked.
"Well, that's right." Mother Wang nodded.
Shen Xiaoyao took a deep breath, grabbed his hair in annoyance, and continued to ask for a long time: "Later, has Xue'er been living in the hospital?" β
