Chapter 89 She cried in her sleep
Wen Shuyi also broke down.
In an instant, the world spun around.
The person fainted.
She could not accept Sheng Tingwang's death.
I find it even more unacceptable that he died like this.
Wen Shu also fell ill.
He was in a coma in the hospital for about ten days.
These past ten days or so.
She kept having a strange dream.
In the dream, Sheng Tingwang had no hands or feet, and his clothes were tattered. He was such a clean person, yet he looked as wretched as a beggar.
He remained there in the mist.
He just stared at her, blaming her for not giving him a few more days, so he wouldn't lose his life because he was in such a hurry to get back to Huacheng.
"I'm sorry, Sheng Tingwang, I really didn't expect things to turn out this way. I didn't force you to come back, really. I'd rather you couldn't keep your promise to me than die in a foreign land."
"If I had to choose now, I really wouldn't argue with you before you leave, even if I felt really uncomfortable, even if it meant breaking up with you, I wouldn't let you leave under pressure."
"Sheng Tingwang, are you really dead? You promised to give me a wedding, are you going back on your word?"
"I really didn't force you to come back in three days. Why, why are you insisting on keeping your promise this time? Can you please not die, Sheng Tingwang? Can you please not die?"
In my dream.
Wen Shuyi kept crying and crying.
This matter clearly has nothing to do with her.
She took all the responsibility upon herself.
The dead should be respected.
He left, leaving behind endless sorrow, while she was left with endless regrets.
Sheng Tingwang was a very good person.
He is upright and kind; he will fulfill any promise he makes to others, no matter how much it means to himself.
Therefore.
Wen Shuyi also became part of his grievances.
So she resented him, she hated him, and she didn't want to continue the relationship.
She wanted his heart to belong only to her.
Therefore, he overlooked the fact that in the years before he met her, there was someone who stood by him through thick and thin.
Wen Shuyi cried again.
Tears slid down her cheeks, wetting her eyelashes.
Zhou Hezheng and Zhang Lun felt extremely distressed looking at her, unable to wake up yet filled with sorrow.
"It's almost certain that Captain Sheng is not dead, but where he went is a mystery," Zhou Hezheng said.
Zhang Lun also found it strange.
How can a person simply disappear into thin air?
"Do you think it's possible that someone colluded with the pirates, causing Third Master to mysteriously disappear from this world?"
Zhou Hezheng thought it was possible. "Do you have anyone you suspect?"
"Not at the moment." This is what troubles Zhang Lun.
But no, not entirely clueless. "Actually, there's someone I want to investigate."
"Who?"
Zhang Lun mentioned Xu Chuyin's name.
"Ever since Third Master visited Xu Chuyin, she has indeed calmed down a lot. She no longer makes a fuss or tries to commit suicide. A few days ago, when I went to see her, she was like a completely different person. She could actually chat with me calmly, with her eyebrows and eyes curved, in a good mood, as if she had some good news to share."
"Moreover, she's been wearing red all the time lately, and she doesn't seem worried about not being able to find Third Master. You see, in her life, Third Master's place is irreplaceable."
In Zhang Lun's view, many of these behaviors were not normal.
But despite his suspicions, he couldn't find any clues to prove that this matter was really related to Xu Chuyin.
Zhou Hezheng remained silent.
I've been deep in thought.
After a long pause, he said, "Bribing the people around her, I think Xu Chuyin has a big problem."
"That's right." Zhang Lun clapped his hands. "How come I didn't think of that? Bribing the people around her is like putting a pair of eyes next to her. We'll know everything about what she's done and what she's doing now."
The two split up.
Zhou He is in the hospital, closely monitoring Wen Shuyi's condition.
Zhang Lun spent a lot of money to bribe Xu Chuyin's nanny.
really.
a few days later.
Zhang Lun has good news.
"Xu Chuyin must have hidden Third Master. Judging from this, Third Master's condition must not be good. We need to find Third Master as soon as possible."
Zhou Hezheng handed a locator to Zhang Lun, saying, "Find an opportunity to give this to the nanny and have her put it on Xu Chuyin. That way, we can find Captain Sheng as soon as possible."
"no problem."
After a two-week follow-up investigation.
Zhou Hezheng finally obtained information about the location where Xu Chuyin frequently appeared.
He and Zhang Lun hid in the shadows, watching Xu Chuyin get into the car and leave.
The two nimbly scaled the wall and entered.
The courtyard was neither too big nor too small, dark and gloomy, like a medieval castle.
Only a few streetlights were dimly lit.
The light was so dim that there was little difference between having it and not having it.
"Do you think Third Master might be here? This place doesn't look like a human dwelling at all." Zhang Lun felt a chill run down his spine.
The leaves rustled underfoot.
It sounded like a rattlesnake.
Zhou He was observing his surroundings with keen eyes. "This place seems to have been abandoned for a long time, so no one would notice it. I guess Captain Sheng should be here."
"It's all quiet here. If Third Master were here, this place wouldn't be able to hold him..." Zhang Lun guessed that something had happened to Sheng Tingwang. "...Oh no, something really has happened to Third Master."
"Walk."
The two crouched down and went inside.
The door was closed.
There was light inside.
There was a hunched-over person walking around.
"Could that be Third Master?" Zhang Lun asked uncertainly.
Zhou Hezheng shook his head, "No, Captain Sheng isn't that short. He's probably someone who serves people here, and he's at least sixty years old."
"Really?" Zhang Lun felt Zhou He was even more impressive. "Captain Zhou, you have an uncanny eye for detail."
Zhou He pulled out a gun from his back waist, inserted a needle containing an anesthetic, and shot it at the old man.
The person swayed twice and, unsurprisingly, collapsed.
Zhang Lun couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
The two pushed open the door and went inside.
This is a three-story building.
The wooden structure made the floor creak and groan with every step.
"Captain Zhou, where do you think Third Master will be locked up?"
"Let's split up and search. You can search downstairs, and I'll go search the second floor," Zhou Hezheng said.
Zhang Lun nodded, "Okay."
The room was dark.
The lighting was dim.
There is only one bedroom on the first floor, and judging from the furnishings, it should be where the old man just stayed.
Is Sheng Tingwang on the second floor?
As Zhang Lun was about to go up to the second floor, he kicked the anesthetized old man, but there was no response.
The stairs are also made of wooden planks.
It has a very strong sense of age.
On the blank walls of the staircase, a light was on, yet the space remained dimly lit.
"Captain Zhou, have you found Third Master?"
Just as Zhang Lun was about to step onto the second floor, Zhou Hezheng, who was also on the second floor, noticed car headlights sweeping past the doorway.
"Xu Chuyin must have returned. Quickly get the old man to bed."
The two quickly went downstairs.
They carried the unconscious old man to his room and covered him with a blanket.
The moment the door was opened.
The two of them hid together in the closet of the room.
"Miss Xu, Old Tom is already asleep." The nanny followed behind Xu Chuyin, looking around. "Should we wake him?"
"No."
Her right eyelid was twitching badly. "I'll go take a look."
Xu Chuyin went upstairs.
The nanny followed closely behind.
