Chapter 126: Don't Follow Her, Just Let Her Go

When Wenyan on the sickbed saw Shen Jingchuan stand up, she immediately reached out and grabbed him.

This hot-tempered man, when he's angry, even his own family can't recognize him.

At the same time, Shen Jinghe turned his gaze to Wenyan.

He explained, "At first, when you asked me about this person Hou Wenbin, I didn't know that someone was impersonating him. I only knew that he and his company are real. If I had known earlier that someone was using his identity to ask you out, I definitely wouldn't have let you jump into the fire pit."

Wenyan immediately typed to convert to speech:

"I know, actually, at first, I didn't notice anything wrong with him until he tricked me. That jerk acted really well, even when we were talking about the project, he seemed knowledgeable and didn't look like an outsider at all. So, Second Brother, you don't have to feel guilty."

"............" Shen Aojiao Shen and said, "What do I have to feel guilty about? I just happened to call you and found out that you were in the hospital, so I came over to see you."

Wenyan: "............"

Shen Jingchuan: "..........Ha, pretending."

He directly laughed coldly and said, "Daring yet unwilling to admit you feel guilty?!"

"............" Shen Jinghe silently glared at Shen Jingchuan, why does he have so much to say? He can say whatever he wants, can others control him?

Seeing the sparking atmosphere between the two, Wenyan immediately typed out a few more lines to diffuse the tension.

"But Second Brother, how did you find out that the Hou Wenbin I met was a fake? To be honest, I didn't notice anything wrong with him at first. It was only when I fell into his trap that I realized something was off. That bastard's acting skills are just too good. When we talked about the project, he was so knowledgeable, he didn't seem like an outsider at all. So, Second Brother, you don't have to feel guilty."

"............" Shen Jingchuan, after hearing this, couldn't help but be speechless. Wenyan was trying to give Shen Jinghe a way out with her words.

She even said, "we would have figured it out earlier," which "we"?!

Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan, both of them were experienced in the entertainment industry, and they couldn't handle such a small matter properly.

When Wenyan saw Shen Jingchuan's expression, she immediately typed out another line.

"Fourth Brother, I'm a little thirsty. Could you please pour me a glass of water?"

Shen Jingchuan didn't even want to pay attention to her. Before, he asked her if she wanted to drink water, and she said her tongue was numb from the medicine and she couldn't drink.

This excuse was too crude!

However, even though he thought so, his feet had obediently walked to the table and his hands had started to pour the water.

Without Shen Jingchuan standing by, contemptuously and sarcastically, Shen Jinghe continued.

"Actually, because I attended an awards ceremony tonight, I happened to see the real Hou Wenbin there. I asked him at the time, and he should be completely unaware of someone impersonating him."

Wenyan nodded, so that's how it was.

In passing, she opened a social app and wanted to search for the awards ceremony that Shen Jinghe attended tonight.

As a result, as soon as she entered, she found Shen Jinghe's name prominently on the hot search list, and the different tags about him also occupied several top positions at the same time.

#Shen Jinghe Suddenly Leaves the Awards Ceremony in Front of Everyone#

#Shen Jinghe Undoes His Bow Tie with One Hand#

#Shen Jinghe Has a Family Emergency#

Wenyan randomly clicked on one of the tags and saw netizens enthusiastically discussing.

"Oh my God, what is so important that he left in such a hurry? He was about to go on stage to present an award in a few minutes. He will probably be blacklisted by the organizers for leaving at this time. It must not be anything less important than his career, crying."

"He left in a hurry, and I happened to be watching the live broadcast at the time, but I forgot to record the screen. From his facial expression and body language at the time, you could tell it was something urgent. Before leaving, he also hurriedly found another person in the back row, don't know what they said, but it didn't look pleasant. Then he untied his bow tie with one hand and left, his manager couldn't stop him."

"Ah, I have a gif of him untying his bow tie, I've been swooning over it. Can someone please pull me out of here, I've watched this gif a hundred times, I'm really going to die here."

"How can someone look so handsome when they're in a hurry and angry?"

"Many media at the scene captured this moment. His manager explained that there was an urgent matter at home and they informed the organizers in time. Everyone can understand if there's an urgent matter at home, so he definitely won't be blacklisted. We can rest assured that there will be opportunities for future cooperation. Jimei, don't worry!"

Seeing these messages and some videos leaked online, Wenyan couldn't help but look at Shen Jinghe. At this moment, her silence was deafening.

[Wow, videos from the scene of the awards ceremony are flying all over the place. This is what he called just happened to call me and just happened to know I was in the hospital and coincidentally passed by? This is too coincidental.]

After calculating the time, Wenyan looked at the missed calls again.

Goodness, in just a short ten minutes, he had called her more than twenty times.

He even said he didn't feel guilty. Wenyan couldn't help but want to laugh.

But she didn't expose Shen Jinghe in front of Shen Jingchuan, instead, she silently remembered Shen Jinghe's concern in her heart.

Shen Jinghe felt a little embarrassed after hearing Wenyan's inner thoughts.

He quickly changed the subject and, when looking at Wenyan's face, subconsciously frowned.

"Tell me about what happened on your side. I want to know."

Wenyan converted her words to speech: "Why don't you let Fourth Brother tell you instead? I'm not as fast in speaking as I am in typing."

Shen Jingchuan placed a cup of warm water on the bedside table. "No, you type pretty quickly."

Wenyan playfully converted her words to speech: "Aww, Fourth Brother~ Fourth Brother~"

"Stop!" Although these two words were read out in a emotionless machine female voice, Shen Jingchuan still felt goosebumps all over his body.

"I said, can't I say it?" 

Wenyan stifled a laugh and nodded. She didn't expect that Shen Jingchuan, who seemed difficult to get along with due to his quick temperament, could be so easily manipulated.

Although Shen Jingchuan didn't want to talk to Shen Jinghe,

But since he had already said so much today, he simply shared everything he saw and knew with Shen Jinghe.

Shen Jinghe frowned after listening, "If these people know so much about Hou Wenbin, they might have some connection to the entertainment circle as well. If Qiao Kexin is the mastermind and Qiao Qinglang is the executor she brought in, then there must be someone in the circle helping her plan."

Although Shen Jingchuan disliked Shen Jinghe, he had to admit that he had a point.

He looked at Wen Yan and asked, "Didn't you say earlier that the person who drugged you acted so convincingly? Maybe they are from the entertainment industry. Did you offend someone in the entertainment circle or block someone's way?"

Wen Yan thought carefully and shook her head.

She converted her words into speech: "No, I just entered the entertainment industry recently and haven't offended anyone or blocked anyone's path. The whole idea of tearing each other apart and stealing resources doesn't even exist. Maybe we should wait and see what the police say or try to get something out of Qiao Qinglang's mouth or capture the person who impersonated Hou Wenbin through the surveillance."

Shen Jinghe frowned, "If you don't create a big fuss or apply pressure, maybe the efficiency won't be that high."

Shen Jingchuan raised an eyebrow, "That's not necessarily true."

Shen Jinghe furrowed his brows even tighter, "Are you arguing with me about this? You have been abroad for years, how much do you know about the domestic affairs?"

"Not much, but I know enough about those things!" 

The police have already found drugs on Qiao Qinglang. The anti-drug effort in the country is significant, so they will definitely conduct a thorough investigation.

However, Shen Jingchuan didn't bother telling Shen Jinghe about all this.

Wen Yan had long known that their relationship wasn't good, which was evident from their lack of conversation normally and their arguments when they met.

They were both adults, and she didn't want to mediate their childishness.

At that moment, her phone received a message, so she lowered her head to check it.

-

Shen Jingxiu had just finished an international conference.

Due to the time difference with the foreign country, he had been busy until late in the evening.

During the meeting, he heard his WeChat group vibrating for a while.

Although he had joined other WeChat groups, he had set them to 'Do Not Disturb.' Only a few family groups were exempted, and they remained the same as when he joined them.

As soon as the meeting ended, he immediately opened the "Happy Family" group.

He found out that Shen Jinghe had been looking for Wen Yan in the group over an hour ago.

But this was unusual.

Considering his private relationship with Wen Yan, he could have directly messaged her or called her instead of going to the family group.

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

So he immediately sent a private message to Wen Yan.

-

Wen Yan was also surprised when she received a message from Shen Jingxiu.

Because Shen Jingxiu actually asked her, "What are you doing?"

This was very unusual for Wen Yan, so she didn't know how to respond.

"I have a dinner appointment, I'm currently outside..."

"Good evening, elder brother. I'm currently outside, is there something wrong?"

"What's up, elder brother? Do you need something from me? I'm having dinner outside, there's an event..."

Wen Yan kept deleting and editing her messages, not knowing which one to send.

Because every message was a lie.

She didn't know what to say to someone she rarely chatted with.

And her abnormal behavior quickly caught the attention of the other two people by the bedside.

Shen Jingchuan sat in a chair next to Wen Yan's bed and couldn't help but ask, "Who sent the message? Your phone is heating up, and you keep tapping the screen with your fingers, but you haven't sent any messages. Never mind, you can't speak, let me see."

It wasn't a message that couldn't be shown, so Wen Yan simply handed her phone to Shen Jingchuan.

Shen Jingchuan glanced at the edited but unsent message and looked at her in confusion, "Why don't you tell the truth? Just say you're at the hospital."

After saying that, Shen Jingchuan pressed the voice message button and sent a voice message directly to Shen Jingxiu.

"Elder brother, it's me. I'm telling you, Wen Yan has been harmed, something has happened to her. She's lying in the hospital now and can't speak properly."

Wen Yan: "????!!!"

Shen Jinghe: "............"

Shen Jingxiu immediately replied with the address.

Shen Jingchuan directly sent the location and ward number to Shen Jingxiu.

After sending it, he returned the phone to Wen Yan and glanced at both her and Shen Jinghe.

"Why are you both looking at me like that? Who was the one who said that not causing a fuss or applying pressure wouldn't increase the efficiency with the police? You two have been in the country all this time, so you should know better than me.

"Both of you are in the entertainment industry, and now Wen Yan's face is worse than being disfigured. I don't think you want to use public opinion to make it worse. If that's the case, her unflattering photos will be everywhere tomorrow. So we can only apply pressure now.

"Although it's embarrassing to say this, but I really have no connections here in the country. Shen Jinghe, you might have some weight in the entertainment industry, but I'm not sure how much. As for Wen Yan, you are even less influential than me.

"Right now, the three of us together can't create any pressure in this hospital room. It just so happens that Elder Brother is looking for you, so why don't we ask him for support? He is more useful than Shen Jinghe and me combined."

Wen Yan: "......You know how to speak. You've convinced me. Applause!"

Shen Jingchuan: "............" Damn, are there sound effects for thoughts too?

Shen Jinghe was speechless for a moment.

Shen Jinghe was speechless for a while.

After a moment of silence, Wen Yan opened the text-to-speech function.

"Fourth brother, I have a question. You understand the reasoning, so why don't you ask big brother for help when you need money?"

"Can it be the same?" Shen Jingchuan leaned back in his chair, looking casual and indifferent. "You are a delicate woman, it's not okay for you to be bullied! I am a strong and upright man, how can I easily ask for help?"

Wen Yan: [He must have forgotten how he went to his father for investment and money]

Shen Jingchuan: Can it be the same! The old man has too much money, and besides, he will have a share in the future.

If Wen Yan knew what Shen Jingchuan was thinking, she would definitely praise him as a filial son.

Shen Jingxiu had thought about what might have happened to Wen Yan tonight, but he had never expected her to be lying in the hospital, with even the fourth brother by her side.

On this late autumn night, he didn't even bother to put on his coat and hastily left the house with his car keys and phone.

As soon as he sat in the driver's seat, his phone rang.

He pressed the answer button and immediately heard a voice on the other end.

"Mr. Shen, the woman you asked me to keep an eye on, Qiao Kexin, has made a move. She bought a train ticket to leave tonight, with departure in an hour. The journey is long, and it's uncertain if she will get off midway. Do you want me to continue to track her?"

Shen Jingxiu didn't have time to deal with Qiao Kexin's matters right now.

But since she had obediently left A city, there was no need to keep an eye on her anymore.

So he replied to the person on the other end, "No need, your task is done, let her go."
