Chapter 103 Happy Birthday, I'll wait for you to come back

Zhong Wen was silent for a long time.

"I regret not reaching out to you the first time..."

LiWanwan smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

"We are just huddling together for warmth. This time..."

This is really the last time we say goodbye.

LiWanwan didn't say goodbye, but just hung up the phone while he was waiting.

A man hurriedly ran into the living room: "Miss Li!"

LiWanwan raised her eyes: "My last name is Zhao."

Her surname is Zhao, and her name is Zhao Wanwan, not LiWanwan.

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and changed his words.

"Ms. Zhao, the fire outside has been brought under control. It has basically been burned down to an empty area. The rest of us..."

Zhao Wanwan knew that there were less than twenty people left around her, so she stood up.

"Is the medical building still there?"

The man nodded: "Still there."

Zhao Wanwan walked slowly: "Let's go, let them all go over there, I have a few final instructions."

…

The fiery clouds in the sky seemed darker than usual. LiShuang held the cup in both hands, feeling a little uneasy.

LiWanwan didn't have as many people as BaiZe said...

In the corner of my eye, a figure flashed by.

LiShuang tilted her head to look over, only to see a quickly moving figure disappearing through a door on the side.

BaJie: [It's BaiZe, I thought it was a giant rat from somewhere! ]

Not long after, ShenJi strode out.

LiShuang frowned and stood in front of him.

"Where are you going?"

ShenJi pursed his lips: "Be good and wait for me at home."

LiShuang had a feeling something was wrong.

"You're going to look for LiWanwan?"

ShenJi looked solemn: "Be good."

LiShuang raised her hand and grabbed his wrist, her voice tense.

"LiWanwan has sent everyone away. She doesn't want to live. She chose a dead end from the beginning. Don't believe anything she says. She is lying to you!"

ShenJi's palm fell on the back of her hand.

"I'm not looking for her, don't think too much."

LiShuang's eyes swept between him and BaiZe.

Even BaJie could see that BaiZe was intentionally avoiding his gaze.

[My dear, he doesn't still have feelings for LiWanwan, like in the original plot, does he still have special feelings for her? ]

LiShuang shook her head, her eyes turned, and she looked up at ShenJi.

"She just wants to burn herself to death now. Why did you go there?"

ShenJi pursed his lips tightly, slowly pressed down the hand that was grabbing her wrist, rubbed his palm across the hair beside her ear, and pinched her earlobe with his fingertips to comfort her.

"I will bring more people and come back safely, trust me."

LiShuang felt upset.

Compared with LiWanwan, ShenJi is much more humane.

She raised her head and looked at him with firm and deep eyes.

"I told you, I don't trust anyone, not even you. You are not allowed to go anywhere today."

ShenJi placed his palm on the back of her neck, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his lips pressed against her hair as he coaxed her softly.

"Shuangshuang, be good. I have to go today. Trust me, just this once."

LiShuang felt like a huge stone was pressing on her heart.

"Why...why did you go even though you knew it was dangerous..."

BaiZe watched from the side, curling his fingertips.

"Miss Li, there are people from LiWanwan outside, and they came here to send you a message."

ShenJi took a deep breath. He knew he couldn't hide it, but there were some things he wanted to tell her himself.

"I want to know the cause of my mother's death and what else she has to tell me."

LiShuang's heart skipped a beat.

His eyes were slightly red.

She hated her own empathy.

When my father passed away, he could have said a lot to me, but because of one word from her, he got so angry that he left without saying anything and just left a complaint.

She still regrets her ignorance at that time and wants to do it again to know another version of the answer.

She, like Mr. Shen, has a lifetime of guilt and regret.

She didn't want ShenJi to spend her life in this mood...

LiShuang slumped his shoulders somewhat weakly.

"You must come back."

ShenJi gently rubbed the hair on the back of her head with his palm and withdrew his hand.

Before his palm was about to fall, LiShuang raised her hand and held his hand.

"Happy birthday, I'll wait for you to come back for your birthday, okay?"

ShenJi looked at her in a daze.

He lowered his eyes and forced a faint smile, then held her hand, rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips, gently lifted it up, lowered his head deeply, and kissed the back of her hand with extreme piety.

"Wait for me obediently."

LiShuang stood there and saw him pass by her without looking back at him.

After BaJie and the others walked away, they saw her still standing there, as if in a trance, and asked weakly.

[Master, are you okay? Just let him go? ]

LiShuang then slowly raised her head and looked towards the door.

"Let him go, and we'll go too."

BaJie really learned a lesson from his failure and was quite emotional.

[Master, LiWanwan must have guessed that you would go! ]

LiShuang was searching in the quiet study.

"I know, but I have to go."

Just like silence, there is a reason why you have to go.

BaJie sighed.

[You only have this one life. I can tell you responsibly that you will not have another chance to be reborn. You must live well.]

Just in case, LiShuang found some self-defense items in ShenJi's drawer.

BaJie was helpless: [Prepare to set off, plan the safest and most hidden route for the master. ]

…

ShenJi took the car sent by LiWanwan to the medical building of the sanatorium.

It is three stories high, and you can no longer tell what color the original walls were. The inside is like a ruin, with only a dilapidated shell left.

As required, ShenJi could only enter alone. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it by tilting his head slightly.

As the sky darkened, the light at his fingertips looked terrifyingly scarlet.

Going straight inside, the guide pressed the elevator button and arrived at the basement floor.

ShenJi followed step by step inside, dim lights, dark walls, humid air, and a fishy smell...

He stopped and saw the woman sitting there.

In a space of dozens of square meters, she sat on a clean chair, her white dress forming a stark contrast to the ugliness here.

She put down the tablet in her hand and looked up at ShenJi.

"We meet again, Mr. Shen."

ShenJi narrowed his eyes, took a puff of cigarette and frowned in disdain.

"It stinks of smoke."

She didn't stand up, but just sat there quietly.

"I forgot to tell you my name when I saved you. Let me introduce myself again this time. My name is Zhao Wanwan."

ShenJi put his hands in his pockets, his posture was lazy, but the pressure around him filled the space, and he spoke indifferently.

"Pots and pans have nothing to do with me. I only listen to what I want to hear."

Zhao Wanwan had a smile on her face.

"You should have investigated Zhong Wen."

"How long he has been in the Shen family is how long his parents have been dead, and how long your mother has been dead."

ShenJi's eyes narrowed.

Zhao Wanwan spoke slowly and looked at him without blinking.

"When your mother sent you back to the Shen family, Shen He arranged for her to be admitted to the hospital. With sufficient financial resources and an excellent team, she could have survived. Maybe she can still call you... Ah Ji by your side now."

ShenJi's Adam's apple rolled and his fists slowly tightened.

Zhao Wanwan saw the resentment in his eyes and chuckled.

"Before your mother committed suicide, it was Zhong Wen's father who took care of it. Do you know who gave the order behind the scenes?"

"Speak." ShenJi's voice became hoarse.

Zhao Wanwan stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked towards him step by step.

"It's Hua Xiaolian."

ShenJi rolled his Adam's apple again.

Zhao Wanwan moved closer and closer to him and continued to smile.

"Do you know how they made your mother commit suicide willingly?"

ShenJi saw that she was close to him, raised his hand and pinched her neck, his eyes turned red.

"Just say what you want to say, stop playing tricks on me."

Zhao Wanwan's cheeks turned slightly red and she raised her eyebrows with a smile.

"If you have the guts, strangle me to death."

ShenJi pushed her away and saw her sitting on the dirty ground with bloodshot eyes.

"Explain."
