185. Be Her Teacher
“My daughter’s education?”
Wen Han glanced at Little Yuan and Xiao Liu, then smiled and turned her head back.
“They said I just need to find you after coming back.”
“Mm, I will handle this.” Fat Brother sneered. “No matter what, let’s just forget about the past. Let me reintroduce myself.”
He straightened his clothes and stood up.
“Deputy of the Light Magic Society Star River City Branch, you can call me Fat Brother. Welcome to the Light Magic Society!”
Wen Han smiled and extended her hand. “Thank you, I am Wen Han, just a newcomer.”
Ding-ding… Ding-ding…
The handshake lasted only a few seconds before the phone rang, breaking their conversation.
Wen Han glanced over. “Your phone.”
“Hold on.”
Fat Brother quickly turned and walked into another room to pick up the phone, talking to someone.
But Wen Han wasn’t paying attention.
Over the past year, she had learned many things at the Light Magic Society headquarters and suppressed the darkness in her heart.
However, Wen Han was a born witch, and her inherent evil could never be washed away.
She could become better, but there would always be a hint of evil in her heart, with a penchant for manipulating others.
But that was fine because the black magic Wen Han had learned wouldn’t be washed away either, making her one of the few people in the Light Magic Society who practiced both black and light magic.
Because of this, the original three-year “purification” period was shortened to one year, and she was sent back to Star River City to gradually “reform” through practice and work.
“Tch!” However, Wen Han clearly looked down on this.
She joined the Light Magic Society only to protect herself and her family; she still didn’t consider herself part of the Light Magic Society.
To her, whoever was beneficial to her was her “good friend.”
In the corner, Fat Brother continued talking on the phone.
Suddenly, the silence made Wen Han unconsciously look in her daughter’s direction, only to see Little Yuan standing motionless at the office door.
“Hmm? Little Yuan?”
She called out, puzzled.
Little Yuan remained still, staring blankly ahead.
Wen Han’s eyebrows finally furrowed.
Curious, she walked over and saw Little Yuan suddenly lift her head.
“Dad?!!” Little Yuan’s eyes widened, startling her.
“Hmm? Dad?” The sound of high heels stopped abruptly.
Suddenly, her heart jolted, and Wen Han’s mind went blank, frozen in place.
She snapped back to reality, startled, and cast a glance.
Only now did she notice a man in a suit standing in front of Little Yuan.
As Wen Han looked up, their eyes met, cutting through all barriers like lightning, leaving them to see only each other.
It’s… him?!
…
“…”
At that moment, the entire office fell into a terrifying silence.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Su Zeheng stared intently at the woman who once haunted his dreams and caused him pain.
At this moment, countless emotions welled up, leaving him momentarily unable to think.
“Captain?” His subordinates were dumbfounded, having never seen their captain so disoriented and strange.
Xiao Liu also looked back and forth, bewildered.
But Wen Han and Su Zeheng stood motionless, as if frozen.
After a moment, Su Zeheng’s eyes twitched, finally returning to their usual coldness.
“Aren’t you going in?”
Looking at the two subordinates, he entered the office, completely ignoring Wen Han.
However, Su Zeheng stopped after taking just a few steps.
“Dad?”
With a snap, Little Yuan suddenly hugged his leg, looking puzzled.
“Are… you Dad?”
Su Zeheng was silent.
Amidst everyone’s shock, he forced a smile and rubbed Little Yuan’s head. “Good girl~”
“Oh…”
Though confused, Little Yuan stepped aside, no longer asking questions.
Su Zeheng nodded affectionately, never looking at Wen Han, completely ignoring her.
He walked past Wen Han and approached Fat Brother in the depths of the office.
“Old Su?!”
Just as he hung up the phone, Fat Brother’s eyes widened.
“You’ve finished?”
“Just waiting for you.”
“These are minor details!” Fat Brother smiled, suddenly noticing something odd about everyone’s expressions.
He instantly understood and awkwardly laughed. “Um… Did you meet?”
“Who?”
“Uh…” Facing his response, Fat Brother chuckled uncomfortably. “Um… Wen, Wen Han.”
Su Zeheng was silent for a few seconds. “Mm.” He seemed reluctant to answer.
“So what about you two…”
“I only want to talk about work now.”
“This isn’t urgent.” Fat Brother’s expression kept changing.
After a moment, he sighed. “Wen Han, can you come over?”
“Huh?” Recovered, Wen Han curiously pointed at herself. “Me?”
She walked past Su Zeheng’s two subordinates and reached Fat Brother.
For some reason, she felt strange, but she maintained her aloof demeanor. “Uncle, long time no see.”
“Mm.” Su Zeheng ignored her, focusing on Fat Brother. “We’re flying back this afternoon. Give me the items.”
“This isn’t urgent.” Fat Brother shook his head. “Old Su, the headquarters just called me.”
“Hmm?”
A foreboding feeling arose within Su Zeheng, and his brows furrowed.
“What did they say?”
“Now that the Star River City branch is starting to improve, I can’t manage alone…”
Su Zeheng’s face turned icy. “So?”
“The headquarters wants you to stay and help me.” Fat Brother’s lips twitched, as if even he lacked confidence.
“And…” He looked at Wen Han. “Wen Han is a new member transferred from headquarters. Her purification isn’t complete, so she needs someone to guide her… The headquarters wants you to take charge of this case and be her mentor.”
The office fell silent again.
Su Zeheng stared coldly at Fat Brother, making him shrink back.
Wen Han’s eyes darted around.
Su Zeheng has to stay? And he’s going to be my mentor?
She narrowed her eyes, sensing Su Zeheng clenching his fist.
Swish!
He suddenly walked over, picked up the phone, and quickly dialed. “Hello?… This is Su Zeheng… What? But… Yes… Yes… Yes… I understand… Yes…”
After a brief conversation, the phone finally hung up, leaving the room in dead silence.
“Old Su.” Fat Brother swallowed hard, trying to break the silence. “I know you… But this is an order from headquarters. I hope you won’t…”
“I won’t disobey orders.” Su Zeheng interrupted. “This is my duty. I will follow headquarters’ arrangements without refusal or defiance.”
“That’s best.” Fat Brother breathed a sigh of relief.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Su Zeheng took a deep breath.
After a long while, he reluctantly looked at the only woman in the crowd.
“Miss Wen.”
