Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar name, Ji Wenyan was puzzled, then tried hard to recall who this person was.
After thinking it over, Ji Wenyan realized he didn’t know this person at all!!!
Who the hell is this guy?
Could this thug be throwing out a random name to fool him?
“Du Xingwen is a clerk at Donglin Supermarket. He said he was fired because of you, so he’s holding a grudge and wanted revenge!”
“Oh, it’s him!”
Seeing the suspicion in Ji Wenyan’s gaze, Wang Dadao, afraid of angering him, no longer held back and briefly explained Du Xingwen’s background.
Only when he heard it was the supermarket clerk did Ji Wenyan let out an ‘oh’ of sudden understanding.
Yesterday, on the way to Bai Mengze’s house to study, he had run into a reporter following and framing him.
That supermarket clerk, though he hadn’t seen anything, directly accused Ji Wenyan of stealing.
In the end, Ji Wenyan had sent the clerk and the reporter legal letters.
But he hadn’t expected the clerk to get fired.
Tsk, tsk…
But that wasn’t a reason to hire thugs to hurt someone.
Dealing with such a person, Ji Wenyan didn’t want to be a pushover. He planned to repay like for like, eye for an eye, not letting the other off easy.
“Although I’m very angry right now, you and I have no grudge, so I’ll give you a chance to reform.”
“Yes, yes, yes! Please speak, I, Wang Dadao, will definitely do it!”
Now that he knew Ji Wenyan’s background, Wang Dadao naturally had no other thoughts.
He nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, looking as if he’d do anything, which made Ji Wenyan smile slightly, very satisfied with Wang Dadao’s tactfulness.
Good that he knew to be afraid.
Otherwise, Ji Wenyan would have had to put in more effort.
“I won’t ask you to do anything too difficult. Just give Du Xingwen back what he told you to do! Didn’t he want to break one of our arms? Let him try that feeling himself.”
“Easy! As soon as I leave the hospital, I’ll go break both his arms!”
“Anytime. But once Du Xingwen’s dealt with, you two need to go to the police station.”
“Young Master Ji, didn’t you say… you wouldn’t pursue us?”
Hearing Ji Wenyan’s order, Wang Dadao slapped his chest hard, swearing he would do it.
But when he heard about going to the police, his face fell like a bitter gourd.
He didn’t want to go to the police station!
“I’m just giving you a chance to make amends, but what happened before can’t be erased… Need me to remind you? That iron bar you swung earlier was aimed straight at my head…”
“Young Master Ji, after we deal with Du Xingwen, we’ll turn ourselves in to the police, reform in jail, and when we get out, we’ll be good people.”
Wang Dadao really didn’t want to turn himself in.
But compared to the immense power of the Ji family, he felt turning himself in was the better option.
If the Ji family really set their sights on him, his life would probably be over!
After speaking, Ji Wenyan didn’t stay in the hospital any longer. He took Bai Mengze and left quickly.
Once in the car and then back home, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This outcome was beyond Ji Wenyan’s expectations.
He hadn’t thought it would be the clerk’s revenge.
He had assumed it was the murderer from the car accident resurfacing—a wasted excitement.
Though the car accident had earned him the system, it had also ‘killed’ him once, making Ji Wenyan grit his teeth at the would-be murderer, always wanting to root them out.
But even though this time wasn’t the same culprit,
Next time, it would be!
Ji Wenyan believed that since the last car accident failed, the other party wouldn’t give up.
“Ji Wenyan, study today?”
“Yes! I’m someone who’s going to college. I can’t give up my studies over something so trivial!”
Just as Ji Wenyan was thinking about the murderer, Bai Mengze’s voice suddenly rang out.
This reminded him… because he wanted to get into the same university as Bai Mengze, he had to improve his grades quickly.
That meant working hard to study to raise his scores!
Originally, having school let out half a day early today, Ji Wenyan had felt pretty good.
But then he had to run into that unlucky encounter with thugs blocking the way.
“Mm, I’ll go tidy up my room first, then come to your room to study.”
“Okay… Just now at the hospital, I used the Ji family’s background to deal with those thugs. You don’t think I’m abusing my power, do you?”
Just as he finished saying the study plan and Bai Mengze was about to leave, Ji Wenyan couldn’t help asking her.
Earlier at the hospital, in front of Bai Mengze, he had said quite a bit to the thugs… he hadn’t thought much at the time, but now he worried Bai Mengze might dislike him.
If she saw him as an arrogant rich second generation and got a bad impression, he’d be done for!
But hearing no system notification of decreased intimacy, he relaxed a little.
“Saying this now, isn’t it a bit late? Don’t worry, you didn’t actively bully others; they came looking for trouble first! I was about to punch them myself, but I held back since we were in the hospital.”
“Cough, as long as you don’t hate me, it’s fine!”
“How could I? I won’t hate you at all! Remember when I beat up Wen Ruo at the mall? You helped me out then too… I’m too busy getting close to you to hate you!”
Bai Mengze smiled at Ji Wenyan, her smile without the slightest reluctance, which let him set his worried heart at ease.
But he never expected Bai Mengze to think like that…
She was just too gentle and considerate, aaaaaah!
And her words were both sweet and teasing.
His heart, which had just settled, started pounding wildly again.
[System: Detected host’s heart rate too fast. Must calm down immediately. System offers electric shock service. Does host require it?]
[Need a hammer. I’m fine, just a bit excited.]
Hearing the system’s words, Ji Wenyan couldn’t help twitching his mouth, thinking the system was really clueless about romance!
Even if his heart was racing right now, it wouldn’t kill him.
But this throbbing feeling was quite novel.
