CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 197

When Zhang Cheng was denied entry at Mu Yunchu’s place and received those harsh words, he bottled up his anger and headed to Wen Xu’s place.

However, this didn’t mean he could take out his anger on Wen Xu.

Even though he looked down on the other, he still had to pretend to be calm.

He had investigated Wen Xu, but the results weren’t very revealing.

All he knew was that Wen Xu once had a grandmother, but it seemed she passed away unexpectedly.

He couldn’t even find out who Wen Xu’s parents were.

In such situations, it’s usually either the connections behind them are so deep he can only look up to them, or they have been abandoned by their parents.

Zhang Cheng, of course, thought it was the latter.

Otherwise, who from a family as wealthy as a nation would let their son become a forensic doctor?

So, he naturally assumed that the price he offered last time wasn’t high enough.

As long as he paid enough, Wen Xu would definitely be bought off by him...

But unexpectedly, he encountered Zhou Zhicheng.

His fake smile froze instantly, and the assistant behind him holding a flower basket and gifts stood at the door.

Why he appeared there was something everyone understood.

But Zhang Cheng was obviously not afraid; after taking a glance at Wen Xu, who was packing, he cheerfully greeted him.

As if the two of them knew each other from before.

"Forensic doctor Wen, I heard you had a little accident, I came to check on you."

If looks could kill, then Zhou Zhicheng had already cursed Zhang Cheng’s ancestors to the eighteenth generation.

His large eyes glared at him intensely, clearly saying nothing, yet seemed to say everything.

Not mentioning Wen Xu’s injury was okay, but bringing it up only fueled Zhou Zhicheng’s anger.

Because in Zhou Zhicheng’s view, Wen Xu’s injury was entirely thanks to Zhang Cheng. Now he still dared to show up, if this wasn’t provocation, what was it?

"I don’t know if it’s convenient, but how about I treat you to dinner tonight?" seeing Wen Xu’s indifferent reaction, he completely ignored Zhou Zhicheng beside him, "Or perhaps, we could go downstairs for a cup of coffee."

For someone like Zhang Cheng, this was already considered his low posture.

At least now there were not many people he would take the initiative to invite to dinner.

"Our forensic doctor Wen is unavailable, he still needs to return to the police station." Zhou Zhicheng directly declined on Wen Xu’s behalf.

Staying with such a ’murderer’, who knows what might happen.

Zhang Cheng smiled and took a step back, "In that case, just give me a few minutes."

"I want to talk to Wen Xu alone."

"No." Zhou Zhicheng again asserted his stance.

"I don’t trust having you two in the same room."

Zhang Cheng looked puzzled.

Originally, he was irritated by Zhou Zhicheng for twice denying him face.

But this ’mistrust’ seemed like he would do something to Wen Xu.

So he couldn’t understand why.

"Mistrust?"

But obviously, Zhou Zhicheng, having received a message from Hu Chi that he had parked the car at the hospital parking lot, had no mood to continue talking with him.

He straightforwardly tore apart the other’s facade of falsehood, "Mr. Zhang, the evidence against your son for the crime is already overwhelming. No matter what you try to do now, it won’t change the outcome."

He was well aware the other had come because of Zhang Zhen.

Surely he had heard that another similar case had occurred outside, so he felt there was still room to reverse the situation.

"Furthermore, the matter of you hiring a murderer to kill in retaliation for Wen Xu’s insistence on that dead woman’s autopsy, we will definitely not give up on pursuing that."

By then, not only your son, but you might also face jail time as well.

"Hiring a murderer?"

Zhang Cheng could absolutely affirm he had done many bad things in his life, but Zhou Zhicheng accusing him of hiring a murderer was something he never even heard of.

Since his son had been convicted, how could he divert his attention to retaliate against Wen Xu at this time?

At worst, he would wait until something really happened first before seeking revenge.

Lived for so long, it was Zhang Cheng’s first time experiencing the taste of being wronged.

"Something I didn’t do, why are you talking about it with me?"

Seeing the two were planning to leave, Zhang Cheng made a final attempt to retain them: "Wen Xu, you should be a smart person, know how to choose in such a situation."

"If you just leave like this today, I guarantee you’ll surely regret it."

But Wen Xu still only glanced at him indifferently, seemingly uninterested in what he had to say.

However, compared to him, the person involved, Zhou Zhicheng appeared somewhat unsettled. Even after the two got in the car, he was still angry about Zhang Cheng, the murderer, coming to flaunt his arrogance in front of them.

In his daily life, he felt most indignant towards people like Zhang Cheng, not because of any so-called resentment towards the rich, but because he knew well the dirty things the latter had done behind the scenes, yet slipped through the cracks of law enforcement.

Now that his son had done such a thing, not only did he show no remorse or apology towards the deceased, he even dared to think of single-handedly resolving the issue.

Speaking of which, Hu Chi, sitting in the driver’s seat, suddenly felt something odd, "But if he came here to ’flaunt his arrogance’, then why didn’t he admit to harming forensic doctor Wen?"

Zhou Zhicheng was completely absorbed in his world, not having time to ponder the matter.

"Who knows what goes on in the minds of people like them?"

Hu Chi just casually asked, so even though he didn’t get an answer, he simply nodded in agreement and turned his attention back to driving.

No one noticed that today Wen Xu seemed even less talkative than usual.

At this moment, in his coat pocket lay that so-called warning letter.

He was, however, very clear that the letter wasn’t written by Zhang Cheng, nor was the car accident his doing...

...

Liu Liang felt the design of the ornament looked very familiar and couldn’t help but lean in a bit. But just as he was about to see clearly, it was treasured away by Li Shang, who shielded it with his palm, preventing him from seeing it clearly.

Looking up, Liu Liang saw Li Shang staring at him defensively, as if he was some odd person.

Coming to his senses, Liu Liang felt a bit embarrassed and touched his nose. Though he was a bit distant, he clearly hadn’t given up on studying the object.

"Why do I feel like this keychain looks familiar?"

Li Shang found this person very much like a peculiar old man.

So he didn’t want to answer him.

Instinctively, he looked at Mu Yunchu, since he didn’t want to cause any trouble for him, he always first observed the latter’s expression.

But Mu Yunchu remained silent, only drinking cup after cup of tea.

This left Li Shang puzzled.

Finally, he decided to act according to his own thoughts.

Ignoring Liu Liang.

Being ignored, Liu Liang was not annoyed, but suddenly thought of something and then turned his head in shock to look at Wei Xianzhong.

Blurting out a profanity, "You old bastard! You’ve fooled everyone?"
