“Never do evil because it seems small.”
“Open the window.” A figure wearing a cap couldn’t be clearly seen, “Hurry up! We can’t stop on the highway!”
Zhao Mengsheng was disoriented and opened the car window hazily.
Next, the figure immediately reached out to open the door, pushing Zhao Mengsheng to the passenger seat, while sitting in the driver’s seat himself.
“Who are you?!” Zhao Mengsheng was drenched in sweat, his eyes constantly blinking under the blurred vision of intoxication.
The car started quickly, with dim interior lights.
With the faint light, Zhao Mengsheng finally saw the figure’s face clearly, suddenly scaring him as he pressed against the rear door: “You’re that, that pervert?!”
“…”
He gave a cold glance at the other person.
Su Zeheng lowered his cap and smoothly parked the car on the emergency lane.
Click!
The key turned, and the car engine shut off.
The car instantly fell into a terrifying silence.
Zhao Mengsheng held his breath, fearfully looking at the figure in front of him, speaking only after a long time: “What… what do you want?”
“I should be asking you that!”
Click! Su Zeheng suddenly grabbed Zhao Mengsheng by the collar.
“Why were you drunk driving on the highway?!”
“I, I, I…” Zhao Mengsheng stuttered, then suddenly remembered something, “I need to find Wen Han! I need to find…”
“Shut up!” Su Zeheng pinched his cheeks forcefully, making him unable to speak, “Calm down!”
“I can’t calm down! I still need to find Wen Han!”
Splash!
The mineral water inside the car was suddenly opened and poured onto Zhao Mengsheng’s face.
He gasped and wiped the water off his face: “You dare pour water on me? Do you know I can sue you?!”
Click!
Su Zeheng once again coldly threw the bottle, drenching Zhao Mengsheng completely.
“Are you calmer now?” He shook his head helplessly, “Zhao Mengsheng, are you crazy?”
“You’re insulting me?” Zhao Mengsheng looked up in disbelief.
“Of course I am!” Su Zeheng sneered, “Think about it, do you really like Wen Han so much?”
“Of course!”
“Do you?”
Facing Su Zeheng’s gaze, Zhao Mengsheng gradually calmed down, lowering his eyes blankly.
Am I really that fond of Wen Han?
From the beginning, his intentions were not pure.
This sudden clarity left Zhao Mengsheng frozen in place.
Su Zeheng continued, “And do you think Wen Han really likes you?”
“I…”
“I’ll answer for you, no.”
“Nonsense!” Zhao Mengsheng gritted his teeth, “She used to like me, I’m her white moonlight, her first love!”
“?” Su Zeheng was surprised for the first time hearing this.
That little witch… used to like this guy?
He couldn’t help but take a few looks, then glanced at himself, finally sighing, “Do you still want to continue deceiving yourself?”
“… ” Zhao Mengsheng was silent.
Suddenly, he gradually came to his senses, and everything over the past month surfaced in his mind.
He didn’t love Wen Han that much, and she didn’t like him that much either.
Moreover, that man… At that time, their conversation was too intimate, they didn’t seem like relatives at all!
They were clearly…
Right! How could I, how could I let her lead me around by the nose?
People don’t think when they are crazed or impulsive, but they can see many flaws and regrets when they calm down, which is exactly what Wen Han was eager to do.
And…
“She… doesn’t know how to drive.”
A casual conversation after the reunion suddenly flashed through his mind.
Zhao Mengsheng suddenly raised his head: “She… lied to me? From start to finish… she has been lying to me?”
“To be precise, you were lying to yourself.”
The recycling station, or Wen Han’s methods, are powerful here.
She always makes the victims willingly fall into her trap, making them overthink everything, and it’s all their own doing.
Su Zeheng didn’t expect Wen Han to suddenly take action; if he hadn’t been monitoring Zhao Mengsheng all along, he might have been harvested by the recycling station tonight.
While still feeling shaken, he also felt a surge of anger.
“Hahahaha! So it’s like this! I finally understand!”
In the passenger seat, the sober Zhao Mengsheng laughed loudly.
“I finally get it! This cheap woman…”
“Shut up!” Su Zeheng suddenly lifted his gaze, seemingly unsure why he immediately stopped himself, and awkwardly turned his eyes, “… Don’t curse in front of me.”
Terrified of Su Zeheng, Zhao Mengsheng immediately nodded, leaning back on the seat, “By the way, what’s your name?”
“Su Zeheng.”
“… Thank you.”
“You don’t need to thank me.” Su Zeheng shook his head, “Never do evil because it seems small. When you approach someone with an impure evil thought, have you ever considered that they might be thinking the same way?”
“… I understand.” Zhao Mengsheng closed his eyes with a bitter smile, “I wanted to play with her… but in the end, I lost so thoroughly!”
“Be a good person from now on.” Su Zeheng reached out and patted the other’s shoulder, “Don’t hurt others’ feelings, and don’t indulge yourself in small evils.”
“… Yes.” After a long silence, Zhao Mengsheng nodded.
He then turned around, gratefully holding Su Zeheng’s hand, almost on the verge of tears: “Mr. Su, thank you! You saved me.”
“You don’t need to thank me.”
Click!
Handcuffs snapped onto his wrists in an instant.
Zhao Mengsheng was stunned, raising his head in disbelief: “Mr. Su, you—?”
“Sir.” At the same time, two traffic police officers outside the emergency exit smiled slightly at Su Zeheng, then sternly looked at Zhao Mengsheng, “You are suspected of driving under the influence, ignoring others’ safety. Please come with us to the station now!”
“Ah?!!!”
…
The light rain had stopped.
There were still very few cars at the highway entrance, eerily quiet.
“Huh? Why isn’t there any movement?”
Putting away his umbrella, Wen Han slowly frowned.
Her heart felt uneasy, and her intuition made her feel a bit anxious.
“…”
What unexpected situation occurred?
What’s wrong with my plan?
So much time has passed, and dawn is approaching, yet nothing has happened.
Holding her umbrella and book, Wen Han fell into deep thought.
Until the headlights of a distant car lit up, she immediately looked up.
Screech!
The car stopped beside them, and a figure wearing a cap quickly got out and approached.
Wen Han instinctively stepped back, finally clearly seeing the figure in an instant.
“Su Zeheng?!” She suddenly understood.
It’s him?!
She suddenly raised her head, but in an instant, she saw a pair of blazing eyes.
“Wen! Han!” Su Zeheng stopped and shouted loudly.
Wen Han was stunned for a moment, then regained her composure, adjusting her hair.
“Uncle, why are you shouting so loud?”
“Do you know what you’re doing?” Su Zeheng pointed to the highway, “Do you know how many people could be harmed if Drunk Zhao drives into the highway?”
“I won’t hurt anyone else. Apart from Zhao Mengsheng, did you see any other vehicles?”
Wen Han spoke lightly, then suddenly lowered her head.
“… Sorry, it was Lin…” She hesitated, then fell silent.
