Chapter 34

34. Everyone’s here.In an alley in Star River City.

The rain had stopped, and the alley was cordoned off by the arriving police.

Among the members of the Light Magic Society led by Su Zeheng, they were collecting the atmosphere around them and quickly joined the police in investigating the scene.

“Strange… How could the victim have disappeared?” a member of the Light Magic Society muttered to himself.

Su Zeheng also shook his head in confusion.

He stepped over the monster’s corpse at his feet, and his peripheral vision suddenly noticed something.

“Hmm? What’s this…?”

The view inside the alley was dim, but with the light now shining, he could see the clutter on the ground clearly.

There were tissues, lipstick, wet wipes, all items belonging to a woman.

“The victim is a woman, just like before.”

Hmm? What’s this?!

“Tattoo sticker?”

Su Zeheng crouched down, carefully picking up the wet tattoo sticker of a rose.

Immediately, the image of the tattoo on Wen Han’s collarbone appeared in his mind.

“… Is it her?”

He frowned instantly, glancing back at his companion.

Putting the tattoo sticker in his pocket, Su Zeheng walked silently to a deserted corner, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Wen Han’s number.

…

Hospital room.

“Mm… Mm… Little Yuan, I’m counting on you… I have a call coming in… Alright, bye.”

She was on the phone asking Lin Na to take care of her daughter temporarily when unexpectedly, a call came in late at night.

Wen Han frowned, noticing it was a strange number, but it showed that the caller had contacted her once before.

“Who is it… Hello?”

“Wen Han, it’s me.”

Su Zeheng?

Wen Han glanced at Lin Wuju beside her immediately.

“What’s the matter?”

“Did you get attacked just now?”

“… Yes.”

“Are you okay? Where are you? Why did you disappear?”

Wen Han looked at Lin Wuju silently, a smile forming on her lips.

I hate it when people act so sure of themselves.

Even if I prefer joining the Recycling Station, does that mean I have to be controlled by you?

She smiled and looked at Lin Wuju, “Where are we?”

Lin Wuju looked thoughtful, “We’re at Jiege Hospital in Star River City.”

“You heard that?” Wen Han looked at her phone.

“I’ll be right there.” Su Zeheng hung up.

It seemed the distorted voice due to the microphone made him unable to recognize that the person speaking was actually Lin Wuju.

“Who is it?” Lin Wuju raised his head, not quite understanding as he put down the phone.

Wen Han smiled without answering.

After feeling his gaze, she winked seductively.

“You’ll find out soon enough. Why the rush?”

…

[Brat, don’t come back to me again!!]

Qin Dafu’s voice still echoed in his ears.

He sat down abruptly on the damp floor.

Qin Long sat disheveled in front of his closed door, finally regaining his composure.

“I… Ow!”

He hadn’t expected that his impulsive decision to confront his father would lead to this…

Now, he was at odds with his father, and his credit cards were frozen.

Although Qin Long knew his father would eventually reach out to him again, these few months… He only had about a hundred thousand left. How was he supposed to live?!

It’s hard to go from luxury to frugality; he couldn’t accept the reality he faced.

“… Wen Han!”

He suddenly remembered the woman.

It was for her that he became like this.

For her, he left home, had his bank card frozen, and became utterly miserable!

These heavy sunk costs prevented him from letting go.

He had already invested too much, never before had he pursued a woman with such dedication!

“I must have her…”

If Wen Han were to leave again, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted?

Wouldn’t that make him a laughingstock?!

His determination and investment reignited his desire to conquer Wen Han, wishing he could make her love him so much it would be life or d*ath, then… he could do whatever he wanted!

The intoxication from alcohol surged again, and he couldn’t control himself as he pulled out his phone.

…

“Hmm? Again?”

What? Is there a rule tonight that I can’t sleep and must make calls?

Wen Han picked up her phone in the hospital room, surprised it was Qin Long.

“Hello?”

“Wen Han, it’s me.” Qin Long’s voice on the phone sounded weak, “For you… I’ve lost my home.”

“… Ah?” Congratulations.

Wen Han worriedly said, “What happened? Are you okay?! Tell me quickly! I’m so worried.”

On the other end of the world, Qin Long grinned, breathing heavily, “I want to see you… I have nowhere to stay, can I come over tonight? I’m so cold…”

Little brat!

Wen Han glanced at Lin Wuju, who gave her a puzzled look.

She hesitated, “Mr. Qin, I’m currently in the hospital.”

“In the hospital?!!”

“Yeah… I had an incident. It’s nothing! Don’t worry.”

“That’s not acceptable! Where are you?”

“It’s really unnecessary!” Wen Han smiled slightly, “Jiege Hospital is far away, you really don’t need to come!”

“I’ll be right there!”

The phone suddenly hung up again.

Wen Han threw the phone down with a smile.

Lin Wuju finally couldn’t help but speak, “It seems…”

“It seems, I have a lot of charm.” Wen Han interrupted with a laugh, “What? Are you jealous seeing other men call me?”

“Me?” Lin Wuju sneered, “How could I…”

“Oh? Regretting now?” Wen Han giggled, “In school, the more boys liked a girl, the less they admitted it!”

Lin Wuju frowned, “Then how can I prove I don’t like you?”

“You can’t.” Wen Han leaned against the bed, “Any man would fall for a woman as charming as me.”

“… No wonder you’re a bewitching witch.” Lin Wuju finally smiled, “I take back what I said. I truly like you in this form, a natural witch, you’re perfect…”

“Do I need your approval for my perfection?” Wen Han confidently raised her eyebrows, “But you can like me, but don’t fall in love with me.”

“Why?”

Because I’ve been living as a man for thirty years!

“Because…”

But Wen Han naturally wouldn’t reveal that.

“Loving me won’t lead to anything.”

…

At four in the morning.

“Wen Han—!!!”

With a sudden voice, Qin Long, drenched, hurried into the ward.

“How are you?”

“Shh—” Wen Han waved her finger, “Mr. Qin, this is a hospital.”

“Oh right!” Qin Long nodded immediately, “Sorry! But how are you?”

“I… I’m fine!”

“Fine?” Qin Long frowned as he walked in.

He saw the small wound on Wen Han’s hand from the axe, anger flaring up instantly, “Was it another crazy woman?”

“No.” Wen Han shook her head, “Mr. Qin, I’m fine~”

“It must be her! Wen Han, you don’t need to protect her! This lunatic…”

His fists clenched tightly with a snap, and Qin Long lifted his head.

At that moment, he saw Lin Wuju sitting in the corner.

“!”

At the same time, another tall figure entered the ward, stopping in shock upon seeing the three inside.

Everyone’s here… hehe!

Wen Han couldn’t help but reveal an evil smile, enjoying the sight of the three people looking at each other.
