Ji Tianle followed Wen Bai into the house. He was busy calling people to investigate the car's information. He hadn't kept any receipts, and he had paid in cash, so it would take some time.
He looked at his phone, unconsciously following Wen Bai inside.
Wen Bai walked into the kitchen, fiddled with the refrigerator for a while, then found enough snacks in the cabinets and carried them to the living room.
Ji Tianle followed him to the living room. Wen Bai turned on the TV, sat on the sofa, and didn't move.
Ji Tianle also sat on the sofa and started making another call.
It didn't take long for Ji Tianle to receive the information about the taxi, but this information seemed to make no difference whether it existed or not.
Ji Tianle looked at his phone strangely, "The license plate of that car was canceled and retired years ago."
"Mm."
Wen Bai, with his mouth full of food, calmly sat on the sofa watching his cooking show.
"And it was canceled normally, not scrapped."
"Mm."
Seeing that Wen Bai was acting as if nothing had happened, Ji Tianle came to his senses and realized that Wen Bai had already brought a pile of food and drinks and placed them on the table in front of him, watching TV, looking very comfortable.
Could he eat and drink like this when encountering such a situation?
Ji Tianle couldn't sit still.
"Aren't you worried?"
Wen Bai looked surprised, "Why should I be worried?"
"The person's identity hasn't been found yet. What if they approach you again and do something?"
"Then let them come."
System 001 said simultaneously, "We are waiting for him to come!"
Let him come and never return.
In some aspects, Wen Bai and System 001's thoughts were in perfect sync.
Ji Tianle didn't know Wen Bai's thoughts. Judging from Wen Bai's appearance, he vaguely remembered the driver. Although he hadn't seen his face clearly, the driver's build was much more robust and sturdy than Wen Bai's fair and tender one. The outcome of a confrontation between them was obvious.
"Aren't you going to tell Su Ying?"
Wen Bai asked confusedly, "Why should I tell him?"
It wouldn't be of any use for Su Ying to know, and he could handle such matters himself.
Ji Tianle: "..."
Ji Tianle was completely speechless and at the same time, he looked at Wen Bai with a newfound respect.
Wen Bai had just finished eating an apple and was about to reach for a bunch of grapes when his outstretched hand paused.
He seemed very puzzled as to why Ji Tianle was still there.
Wen Bai thought for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Your most important task right now is Lin Shuangshuang."
Ji Tianle looked at Wen Bai. Although he had disliked this kid from the beginning and even looked down on him, thinking what was wrong with a young man not doing something better than relying on another man.
But after Wen Bai encountered such a situation today, he still thought his pursuit of his goddess was the most important thing.
He felt a little touched, how could that be.
Ji Tianle clenched his fist, "Don't worry, I will definitely win Shuang Shuang's heart."
Wen Bai also clenched his fist, "Then go now, don't waste time."
Then Ji Tianle was driven away by Wen Bai.
After seeing Ji Tianle off, Wen Bai touched his slightly bulging stomach. He seemed to have eaten a little too much today and needed to rest.
He returned to his room, changed into his pajamas, pulled the covers over himself, closed his eyes, and slept.
The sleeping Wen Bai didn't hear the irregular "dong dong dong... dong dong dong..." sound from downstairs again. This time, the sound was much fainter, as if it were from much further away.
Lin Shuangshuang had been having a difficult time at the company recently. She somewhat understood why her former colleagues, with whom she had gotten along well, had all distanced themselves from her at the same time, and why they were intentionally or unintentionally excluding her at work.
All of this started when Jiang Yiyi returned from her vacation early.
Only one leader, who had always disliked Jiang Yiyi, treated her the same as before, which made her very grateful.
However, even the gentlest person would lose their temper if they were constantly targeted.
Before, she truly had no desire to get involved in the relationship between Jiang Yiyi and Mr. Yu. But facing the woman who had now become her superior, who had done nothing wrong, yet constantly tried to undermine her.
Just like today, she was supposed to be off, but she was called back halfway and was given a pile of work. By the time everyone else had left in the evening, she was assigned a lot more tasks.
Lin Shuangshuang checked the time. Would she be able to go home before midnight tonight?
It was uncertain.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Mr. Ji.
"I just happened to be passing by your company and was wondering if you'd like to have dinner with me. Would you honor me with your presence, Miss Lin?"
Lin Shuangshuang was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had just posted an update about still working overtime.
Lin Shuangshuang looked at the miscellaneous tasks in her hands that anyone could do and felt a headache. Since the work was already unfinished, she might as well have dinner first.
She made a quick decision.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Shuangshuang had already tidied up and was sitting in the restaurant.
This restaurant near the company was not far away and had a pleasant environment.
The meal was very enjoyable.
As they were leaving, at the entrance, Lin Shuangshuang unexpectedly saw Jiang Yiyi there.
If she was here, then...
As expected, she watched Jiang Yiyi get up and go to the restroom, revealing the person sitting opposite her.
Yu Yang looked up from his seat and their eyes met unexpectedly.
After Lin and Ji left, Jiang Yiyi returned with her handbag.
Yu Yang looked at the woman in front of him and recalled their conversation.
Lin Shuangshuang said a few words to the man beside her and then walked towards him. He was very surprised.
"Miss Lin, what a coincidence."
"It is quite a coincidence. Mr. Yu and I seem to be destined to meet everywhere."
Yu Yang raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Miss Lin is not avoiding me today."
Lin Shuangshuang: "I need to ask Mr. Yu for a favor."
"Oh?"
"Could Mr. Yu, when you see me in front of your girlfriend, ignore me, or perhaps show some expression of disgust towards me?"
Yu Yang: "?"
"I am currently interning at Ms. Jiang's company..."
She said this very tactfully.
Yu Yang looked at the woman in front of him, who was still dressed provocatively. Among women, she was certainly outstanding in appearance.
He looked at the red wine glass in front of him. How had they reached this point?
"How do you like the restaurant I chose today?"
Jiang Yiyi: "I like everything you choose."
"How has work been recently?"
Jiang Yiyi's heart skipped a beat because Yu Yang never inquired about her work. But she didn't think he would have any interaction with that woman. She had been keeping a close eye on him recently.
She smiled charmingly, "I've encountered a small problem recently, but I can solve it."
Yu Yang originally thought that the woman in front of him had changed and would no longer indiscriminately attack people around him. He did not expect that she had become smarter and was acting more discreetly.
"It would be best if you can resolve it smoothly," Yu Yang still spoke his mind, which was also the purpose of his visit today. "Let's end it here..."
Jiang Yiyi said coquettishly, "I thought you had forgotten it was my birthday today, and I was planning not to contact you all day to see if you would look for me. I didn't expect you to remember."
Jiang Yiyi's eyes held the happiness of a young woman.
Yu Yang choked and paused.
"Brother Yang, what were you about to say?"
"I wanted to ask if you wanted to order anything else."
