After Shen Lingge finished eating, he received the file and related video about that little girl from the Chi family sent by the butler.
The currently known information is that at that time, there was not only her alone in the car; besides the driver and her, there was also another person in the car.
Now the driver is still in a coma, as for that person’s identity, they have no way to know.
Shen Lingge carefully watched the video several times, the car stopped not far from the school gate, but the camera could only capture the rear part of the car, the remaining part was blocked by the trees by the roadside.
This video did not have any abnormality, five minutes after the little girl got in the car, the car then started and left.
They suspect that during this period someone else got into the car, and when retrieving the surveillance on the road they also saw a blurry figure in the back seat of the car.
They did not receive any phone call or message from any kidnapper.
Shen Lingge furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, checked the geographical location where that unfinished building was located. Then immediately sent the butler a message to investigate the surveillance videos of all stations near the unfinished building, especially focusing on the automobile station.
After finishing these, Shen Lingge then opened the chat window with Wen Xian, after Wen Xian transferred money, she did not continue to send messages.
[Shen Lingge: Have you eaten? How is today’s progress?]
He waited for a long time but still did not receive Wen Xian’s reply, he guessed she was probably eating with the Qin family people.
At the same time, Shen Lingge thought of the matter he instructed Xiao Song to do, the report about Qin Corporation’s financial situation in the past two years should already be lying in his mailbox.
Shen Lingge clicked open the mailbox.
As he expected, Qin Corporation’s current financial situation is not good, if a capital chain break situation occurs, Qin Corporation’s stocks might drop sharply.
What could Wen Xian bring for them?
Unless Wen Tianlin left her something else, making the Qin family so anxious.
—
Inside the villa dining room.
While eating, Wen Xian’s complexion still did not look very good.
Qin Huai understood at a glance that Qin Song was not able to coax her well, he originally should have been anxious, but after having Qin Zan as this backup choice, he was not that anxious anymore.
When Wen Xian just sat down, she noticed, most of the dishes prepared today were the ones she used to like eating the most, on her seat there was even especially placed a cool and tasty dessert.
No matter what Wen Xian’s mood was today, when eating this meal was her most relaxed moment.
After the meal Qin Huai said to go upstairs to rest, letting the young people themselves go outside to play.
So in the living room, there was only Wen Xian, Qin Song, and Qin Zan left.
Qin Song somewhat complained about his eldest brother’s lack of romantic sense, clearly knowing he came to coax Wen Xian yet still sat in the living room not leaving.
So he probed and said: “Xian Xian, do you like the villa that Grandpa gave you?”
“How about I accompany you to handle the ownership transfer formalities? Then take advantage of these few days to help you move?”
Wen Xian smiled slightly at Qin Song: “I’m not really interested in the villa, instead I’m a little interested in that California Butterfly that can’t be found a second one in the whole Licheng, I want that car.”
Qin Song’s expression stiffened.
Although at that time he found an excuse saying this car was lent to a friend, in fact this car had already been given by him to Xu Chuwei.
This was something he especially used to please her.
That night, after he called to ask Xu Chuwei, she explained that although she let Wen Xian come to the airport to pick her up, she had deliberately staggered the time. She even showed him the chat record she sent to Wen Xian.
Indeed, Xu Chuwei had told Wen Xian she would only arrive at the airport at six in the evening.
Their flight was at five o’clock. Reasonably speaking, they should have been able to miss each other.
Qin Song barely pulled the corner of his mouth into a smile and replied: “Alright, this week I’ll send that car to downstairs of your house.”
Wen Xian revealed her first smile since getting in the car: “I’m looking forward to it.”
Qin Song: “……”
He suspected Wen Xian and he were innately incompatible.
In the afternoon, Wen Xian wandered around the manor by herself for a round, then prepared to leave.
If this manor didn’t belong to the Qin family, she would be willing to come again next time. But unfortunately, it just had to be the Qin family’s.
When Wen Xian was preparing to leave, Qin Huai had not yet woken up. Qin Song sent her to the door, during which he kept pestering her: “Xian Xian, how about I send you back?”
“Shall I accompany you for dinner?”
“There’s a cruise banquet within the circle next week, let’s go together?”
Wen Xian could not endure it anymore, “No need, you go get the car earlier.”
So Qin Song quietly shut his mouth.
Until Wen Xian got into the car, Qin Zan still did not appear. She unobtrusively let out a breath of relief.
But before that breath was completely let out, it got stuck.
Just as the driver was about to close the door for her, Qin Zan suddenly appeared carrying a cage.
There was a layer of cloth covering the outside of the cage, no way to know what was inside.
A slender arm reached in from outside the car door.
Qin Zan placed that cage beside Wen Xian’s seat, not saying a single word, and directly closed the car door.
Both Wen Xian and Qin Song were stunned.
After the car started moving, Wen Xian stared at the cage covered with black cloth for a while.
She hesitated for a long time before lifting the black cloth open, and the next second, she met a pair of small black-bean-like eyes.
Inside the cage was nothing else, just that little rabbit she had looked at one more time.
The black-and-white interspersed little rabbit had two long drooping ears, it was currently rustling and nibbling on grass, its little round bottom was plump and round, extremely cute.
The fluffy little rabbit made Wen Xian instantly surrender.
To express her gratitude toward Qin Zan, Wen Xian decided to name this rabbit Zanzan.
The driver sent Wen Xian to downstairs of the apartment building.
After Wen Xian softly thanked, she carefully carried Zanzan upstairs. Zanzan ran back and forth inside the cage, from time to time grabbing a few blades of grass and hiding them in its little paws.
The driver below, seeing that Wen Xian had gone upstairs, then called Qin Zan.
“Eldest Young Master, Miss Wen has gone home.”
“The rabbit?”
“Miss Wen likes it very much, I saw Miss Wen smile in the car.”
“Good.”
—
At home, Yu and Qiuqiu both expressed curiosity toward the new little companion.
Especially Qiuqiu, its paws even scratched into the little one’s nest, Wen Xian picked it up and lectured it for a while before it settled down.
After Yu circled once around the cage, it flew off to play elsewhere.
As usual, Wen Xian cooked for herself, washed the dishes, and then started checking her work emails.
After finishing these things, Wen Xian sat on the sofa for a very, very long time, until the moon rose above the treetops.
Eleven o’clock at night.
Wen Xian went back to her room and changed into a set of clothes, she turned off the lights in the apartment.
Wen Xian, wearing a black baseball cap, headed straight for the underground parking lot.
The light-colored Mini, riding the night wind, drove toward Wen Mountain.
Before, Wen Mountain had strict security; now, Wen Mountain had become much more desolate. On the roadside were only dust and fallen leaves, only climbers occasionally came here, other than that, no one visited.
This was Wen Xian’s first time driving home in four years.
Every year, besides paying the high annual maintenance fee, she also continued hiring the former Wen family security guard. For the past four years, it had always been him guarding that luxurious and exquisite yet completely empty mansion for her.
These days, Uncle Security Guard had taken leave from her, he went back to his hometown to attend a wedding banquet, and would only be back in two days.
Wen Xian’s car stopped in front of the carved iron gate.
She quietly gazed through the iron gate at the fountain, garden, and the main house inside. She knew that inside, in the artificial lake, there were still the fish that Wen Tianlin had caught for her before.
It seemed as if nothing had changed, it seemed as if everything was still the same as before.
Wen Xian even had an illusion: as long as she pushed open the house door, she would be able to see Wen Tianlin fiddling with little gadgets on the sofa, and Chang Shuang busy in the kitchen.
Then they would both come over to hug her, smiling at her.
Wen Xian closed her eyes somewhat in a sorry state, pressing down the tears that surged up.
She still did not dare go in; she planned to sit in the car for a while, then leave.
In the middle of the silent stillness, Wen Xian’s pupils suddenly dilated slightly.
The lights in her house’s living room—lit up.
Wen Xian immediately lowered her head to look at Yu in her hand.
Yu, taking advantage of the night’s cover, had silently slipped into the villa.
But within not even a minute, Yu had returned to her side again.
It drew two people in the palm of her hand.
Wen Xian lowered her head to recognize, Yu had drawn a little girl with twin ponytails and an adult man with a tall figure.
Seeing this scene, Wen Xian’s heart uncontrollably surged with a bit of anger.
She immediately called the police; for now, she did not want to alert them.
Wen Xian got out of the car.
The iron gate was locked; after pressing the code, the iron gate automatically opened to both sides.
When passing by the security room, she lowered her eyes and glanced once — the glass door had been shattered. They must have stolen the spare key placed here to break in.
The alarm system here was already outdated.
Wen Xian had just contacted a new company last month, but they had not yet had time to come to Wen’s house to install it because Uncle Security Guard wasn’t around these days.
These matters were always entrusted by Wen Xian for him to handle.
Wen Tianlin once had shown him great kindness. These years, he had been willing to stay in this empty mountain.
Wen Xian was very grateful to him.
As for Wen family’s villa, Wen Xian was more familiar with it than anyone. She directly entered the villa through the side door, without alarming anyone.
Wen Xian went upstairs from another staircase entrance.
Inside Wen Tianlin’s study room, there were monitors that could clearly see the situation in the living room. This was something Wen Xian had installed after buying Wen family’s villa back. She didn’t expect that one day it would be of use.
She turned on the monitor and adjusted it to the living room view. She saw the current situation in the living room.
A little girl of around ten-plus years old was sitting on the sofa with her head lowered, and sitting beside her was an adult man, with an intimate posture hugging her, as if softly saying something.
Wen Xian immediately furrowed her brows.
What is the relationship between these two people?
Wen Xian sat in the study room watching the image on the monitor all along. All the exits of the villa had already been locked by her, until the police car’s siren sounded outside the villa, only then did she get up.
Not long after, she received a phone call.
Looking at the two police officers on the monitor at the door, she said: “I’m opening the door now.”
The next second after her words fell, both police officers heard the sound of the lock opening. They slightly turned the handle and opened the expensive yet heavy door in front of them.
And the two people in the living room, upon hearing the police siren, had already panicked and hid inside the storage room.
After Wen Xian went downstairs, she ignored the gazes of the two police officers. She directly pointed at a room next to the living room and said to the two police officers: “They are in that room.”
At the same time, Shen Lingge and Chi Yanyu had also arrived in Licheng.
