Chapter 1113: There Is Progress

~16 min read 3,197 words

Sunday morning, Ye Zhenzhen finally rested. She got up relatively early today, went out for a workout, and helped the other girls on the 22nd floor buy breakfast.

Just as she arrived at Building 8 and hadn't entered yet, she saw several men at the entrance. Walking into the lobby of the building, she saw more people, and a woman whose makeup was ruined by crying, looking very haggard.

Seeing Ye Zhenzhen come in, the woman stood up in a panic and ran over: "Hello, may I ask which floor you live on?"

"Is there something you need?" With unclear intentions, Ye Zhenzhen naturally wouldn't expose herself.

A man behind came over and pulled the woman, saying politely: "Hello, please rest assured, we absolutely have no malice. It's like this, my younger sister got married yesterday, but after the wedding, the groom ran away with the money, and we can't find him anywhere. There lives a person named Zhu Zhe in this building, who is the groom's ex-girlfriend, so we came to see if this ex-girlfriend knows where he is. Oh, right, she lives on the 22nd floor, named Zhu Zhe, do you know her?"

"That's quite a coincidence, I live on the 22nd floor, I know the Zhu Zhe you mentioned, she is a co-tenant, but I'm not very familiar with her."

"Then can you please help us see if Zhu Zhe is at home? Ask her to come down?"

"Yes, yes, yes, sorry to trouble you." The haggard woman seemed to wake up and finally became a bit more polite, "My name is Yu Feixue, thank you."

Ye Zhenzhen nodded: "Then I'll go up and see, you wait a moment."

After agreeing, Ye Zhenzhen went upstairs. Ye Zhenzhen naturally knew about Zhu Zhe's business trip, but she didn't know much about Yu Feixue's matter. So in the elevator, she used her Huawei phone to contact Zhu Zhe...

Until she pressed the doorbell of 2202, she was still on the phone.

"Okay, I know, then I'll let them leave first in a while, and then find Wang Yan to ask, that's it then, Jiji."

After hanging up the phone, she sent a message to Lucy next door, asking her to come over here to eat.

"What's wrong, Zhenzhen, did something happen?" He Minhong asked curiously.

"Wait for Lucy to come over and say it together, so I don't have to say it twice."

Before long, Lucy pushed the door and walked into 2202, smiling: "Thank you for your loving breakfast, Zhenzhen."

During this period, she had gotten along very well with the others on the 22nd floor, no longer holding herself up and keeping a distance as before. Of course, Lucy's encounter was not hidden.

Previously, Zhu Zhe and the others really didn't know, but Li Qihang holding a knife and killing people in broad daylight brought everything out, so they all knew. So they also had some pity for Lucy, everyone took the initiative to contact, showed kindness to each other, and it didn't take long for everyone to be good sisters.

"We are all good friends, why be polite." Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand with a smile, and turned to say, "Just now when I came back, I met a woman named Yu Feixue at the downstairs, she brought a group of people to find Zhu Zhe, saying that Chen Zufa ran away with the money yesterday."

Lucy thought for a while and said: "I have an impression, last month I met Zhu Jie after work, that day Chen Zufa brought that Yu Feixue to find Zhu Jie for dinner, at that time I met the two of them, that Chen Zufa left Yu Feixue aside, first told Zhu Jie he wanted to borrow money, then wanted Zhu Jie to help guarantee, later Zhu Jie listened to my suggestion and didn't guarantee. I heard Zhu Jie say, Wang Yan seems to know a lot, he should know quite a bit."

Ye Zhenzhen said: "Yes, Jiji told me, I'll go ask Wang Yan in a while. Then I'll go down and tell them first, they are still waiting, let them leave first."

"I'll go with you." Lucy said.

"I'll go down with you too, Zhenzhen, after all, so many people came, and they were cheated, what if they can't control their emotions, that would be bad." Yu Chuhui said as she stood up.

"Then... I'll go too." He Minhong raised her hand, she felt that she should maintain the formation and act consistently.

Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand: "No need, I already told them I'm not familiar with Jiji, if we all go down, wouldn't that expose us? They were already suspicious of Jiji when they came, if it's like this, wouldn't it make them believe more that Jiji has a problem, that Jiji colluded with that Chen Zufa to cheat them of their money, which would be even worse. Besides, this is inside our complex, what extreme things can they do?"

"Then I'll go with you, I'll wait at the elevator, being careful is never wrong. If something really goes wrong, I can also provide support." Lucy said so.

"Okay, let's go down now. Honghong, you go upstairs and call that dead scumbag down, he is at home."

"Then I'll go now." He Minhong put down the fried dough stick in her hand and trotted out.

By the time Ye Zhenzhen and Lucy went downstairs to dismiss Yu Feixue and the others and returned, Wang Yan was already sitting on the sofa in 2202 with his legs crossed.

"What's the situation, tell us quickly." Ye Zhenzhen sat there fiddling with breakfast, looking at the leisurely Wang Yan.

"It's just fraud. Previously that Chen Zufa probably treated Zhu Zhe as a target..."

Wang Yan told the story of Chen Zufa from beginning to end, including that he acted as a boyfriend for Zhu Zhe to solve trouble without concealment, as well as some of his guesses in the process, and Zhu Zhe calling those fellow villagers to remind them, etc.

After saying it once, he smiled, "The matter is like this, Yu Feixue should have also looked for a circle of people, those who were looked for thought of Zhu Zhe's reminder, it is estimated that they also didn't say anything good."

"You and Jiji had such a period?" Ye Zhenzhen's focus immediately went off track.

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows at Ye Zhenzhen: "Didn't I also pick you up and drop you off to work these few days."

Lucy was eating silently on the side, smiling and watching, as if it had nothing to do with her...

Ye Zhenzhen glared at Wang Yan and continued to eat and drink.

Only He Minhong cared about the problem, she raised her hand to speak: "Brother Yan, should we tell that Yu Feixue, and those fellow villagers who guaranteed, and explain it to them properly?"

"You don't think about it, Zhu Jie has already called to remind them, how could they not know they were cheated? Yu Feixue called them, they must have thought of Zhu Jie's reminder at the first time, and then implied in their words, otherwise why would Yu Feixue bring so many people over? It was aimed at catching Chen Zufa's accomplice."

"However, Zhu Jie was indeed not there, Zhenzhen explained it to them, which can be considered as dealing with it. But later they will definitely look for Zhu Jie again, maybe that Chen Zufa will also blame Zhu Jie for meddling, and also find trouble with Zhu Jie. Is explanation useful?"

Yu Chuhui had a look of looking at a fool, she didn't understand, He Minhong listened from beginning to end, how could she still say such brainless words.

Wang Yan was still quite understanding, he understood that Yu Chuhui was a bit impatient, couldn't stand He Minhong's kind of holy mother, stupid, and slow, he also knew that He Minhong really thought she should explain properly and resolve this misunderstanding, she sympathized with those victims.

Shaking his head and smiling, Wang Yan said: "Didn't you bring back a business card just now? You can call them and tell them the process of the matter. This Yu Feixue doesn't know the whole picture yet, it's quite good to let her know what's going on."

Lucy said: "And she should have already registered with Chen Zufa, right? It might have happened after registering. Maybe in the end, these debts will also be counted on her head, you can tell her, tell the police all these situations, and also go to a lawyer for consultation. But whether she will believe your words, that's two things, I think it's highly likely she won't believe it."

"It's also possible to ask you, is Zhu Jie not on a business trip, is she lying to them, maybe they will be even more aggressive and kill a carbine." Yu Chuhui took the words.

Ye Zhenzhen nodded, expressing agreement: "Hey, this is really hard to say."

Several people said one sentence after another, making He Minhong hold her phone and business card, hesitant. She looked left and right, and finally looked at Wang Yan, very helpless.

She said weakly: "Brother Yan, then this call, should I make it or not?"

"Make it, if you didn't want to make it, you wouldn't ask, it's good to say it. Everyone treats Zhu Zhe as a bad person, so it must be explained clearly. And we are all good people, we can't watch people be so miserable, and still be kept in the dark knowing nothing."

"Then I'll make it?" He Minhong looked at everyone.

"Turn on the speakerphone." Yu Chuhui said so.

Ye Zhenzhen and Lucy expressed agreement.

He Minhong let out a long breath, did some psychological construction, and dialed the number on the business card.

After a simple introduction and explaining her identity, He Minhong opened her mouth with words that made Wang Yan feel a bit gratified.

"It's like this, just now our neighbor next door came to find Zhu Jie, and also roughly said about your matter, and then I called Zhu Jie and told her about this matter. She told me that Chen Zufa first looked for Zhu Jie..."

During this period of time, He Minhong had made quite some progress. She was a bit stupid, but she could finally understand human speech. At this time, she hadn't blackened yet, and the people around her didn't exclude her much, and there wasn't much rebellion.

She followed Wang Yan's suggestion, carrying fruits and flowers to the hospital ward, and also bought a ticket to enter the train station to communicate with people. Little by little, she practiced it, which could be considered as having some experience, no longer being scolded by people after saying a few words at the beginning.

Also in this process, she learned about many misfortunes, heard many things, such as fighting for family property, not supporting parents, unbearable poverty, and the tragic life that always falls, falls, falls, etc.

After hearing some things, she would find Wang Yan to chat on WeChat or in the evening, ask her doubts, and Wang Yan would patiently answer her, analyze deeply, and explain the pros and cons.

Also in this process, He Minhong understood what is a sense of proportion, and also improved her courage, making her braver. Of course, it was only some, and it was far from a complete change, but it was a good start.

Unsurprisingly, He Minhong's explanation did not get the trust of Yu Feixue and the others, subconsciously suspicious.

"Is Zhu Zhe not gone at all? She colluded with Chen Zufa to cheat me, right?"

Hearing the words coming from the phone, Yu Chuhui exchanged glances with others, with 'Look, I told you so' written on her face...

He Minhong curled her lips and said: "Anyway, I've told you everything I know, you should be clearer when you call the police, it's best to find a lawyer for consultation, a lawyer is professional, he will tell you what you should do. You have to act fast, otherwise when the loan company comes to collect the debt, that's when you can really cry..."

After speaking, He Minhong hung up the phone.

The atmosphere in 2202 was a bit quiet for a while, everyone's eyes fell on He Minhong, with some surprise in their eyes.

This made He Minhong very unconfident, and she asked tentatively: "Did I say something wrong again?"

Wang Yan spoke at the right time, he smiled: "No, it was quite clear."

"It's precisely because she didn't say anything wrong that it's strange. Logical and clear, helping Zhu Jie explain, and didn't say anything about Zhenzhen. He Minhong, I really look at you with new eyes." Yu Chuhui looked at He Minhong, and it was another look of incomprehension. Just now she said silly things, and now her brain is working well again, it's really strange.

"I'm not stupid to begin with, okay." He Minhong glared at Yu Chuhui.

Ye Zhenzhen smiled: "Honghong has made progress."

"It's all Brother Yan taking care of me." He Minhong didn't forget the person who dug the well.

Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile: "Don't be proud, keep it up, it will get better and better."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

"Alright, nothing else, I'm leaving, I have things to do." Wang Yan stood up and walked out.

Ye Zhenzhen was sarcastic: "You are idle and moldy, what can you have to do? Not going out to harm good girls, right?"

"You are right, today is a fragrant day."

Wang Yan waved his hand and left 2202 strolling.

Ye Zhenzhen and the others were eating and discussing Yu Feixue's matter. In the process, they received another call from He Minhong, as the group of people over there had thought it through after discussing, and came to ask He Minhong again.

However, because Wang Yan had already revealed the cause and process early on, there was no analysis of Chen Zufa's purpose by Lucy and others here. But He Minhong had established contact with Yu Feixue and also pulled a group chat of victims.

Ye Zhenzhen and the others were still kind, although they didn't have the step of analyzing Chen Zufa's purpose, they still studied Chen Zufa's pattern of finding people and analyzed Chen Zufa's hiding place just like in the original drama.

This was the second night, Ye Zhenzhen told Wang Yan...

"Little Master, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again." In the research institute, Ye Zhenzhen's graduate student leaned on the window, looking at the parking lot outside.

Ye Zhenzhen also took a look when she heard this: "He has a conscience."

The graduate student said: "Little Master, why didn't Little Master-in-law come before? It feels especially frequent recently."

"Of course it's because we weren't together before, now it's like honey and oil."

Ye Zhenzhen had already packed her things and said while walking, "It's about time, I'll go first, you guys keep an eye on it..."

After giving instructions, she finally left completely.

"Dr. Ye, boyfriend is here to pick you up again."

"Yes, I told him not to come, but I still couldn't stop him."

Dealing with it all the way, Ye Zhenzhen finally opened the passenger door and got into the car.

After fastening her seatbelt, she let out a long breath, tilted her head and said: "It's fine now, no one is gossiping about me and my boss, but they all started to inquire about your background, it's really boring!"

"You are always a frequent visitor to the hot search of this research institute, it's a very normal thing."

Wang Yan started the car, drove away from the research institute, and said, "Where there are people, there is a world."

"But I just want to do research steadily, I love gossip, but I don't want others to gossip about me..."

"There's no way, didn't I get on the national hot search a few days ago? My company's phone, my private phone, were almost blown up by people. Did I get proud?"

"Pah, still proud, you honestly confess, are you being unclean and unclear with Lucy?"

"It sounds like I am clean and clear with you."

One sentence drained Ye Zhenzhen, because the two indeed hadn't clarified any relationship. If one had to say it, only the point of being fuck-buddies was certain.

Ye Zhenzhen sighed: "Sure enough, it's a lustful dead scumbag, really not a bit of human touch, just thinking about that little thing."

"Each other, it sounds like you are like a nun."

"Then you are a flower monk."

The two joked and flirted all the way, ate dinner outside, and then returned to Happy Song.

The door of 2202 was not closed. As soon as the elevator opened, Ye Zhenzhen saw Zhu Zhe standing in the room drinking water. She greeted: "Jiji is back."

Wang Yan waved at Zhu Zhe, which was considered a greeting, and took the elevator upstairs to go home.

Ye Zhenzhen walked straight in and hugged Zhu Zhe: "I really missed you to death, Jiji."

"Oh my, I missed you to death too, Zhenzhen."

After laughing and making a fuss, Zhu Zhe said, "Thank you all, for being busy for my matter."

"You are also innocent, besides, we didn't do anything busy, just played a detective game together, but I'm afraid this case can't be solved."

"That's true, but it has nothing to do with everyone, Yu Feixue and the others came to find me, which also affected everyone."

Ye Zhenzhen waved her hand: "No influence, actually we all think Yu Feixue is quite pitiful, mainly helping her. But having said that, Wang Yan is really old and cunning, discovering so early that Chen Zufa had bad intentions and no good intentions."

"Is it really good for you to describe him as old and cunning?"

"Whatever, dead scumbag."

Zhu Zhe smiled, pulled Ye Zhenzhen and walked out of the room: "Zhenzhen, there is one thing I want to ask for your help."

"Who are we to whom, you say."

"Such a thing happened, Yu Feixue is so miserable, and so many of my fellow villagers were cheated. Chen Zufa is still my ex-boyfriend, and he had designs on me before. Although it seems to have nothing to do with me, but this matter has no result, and I am not at ease. I want to go to the places where Chen Zufa might appear to see if I can find him, can you drive me around?"

"Of course no problem, it's just after eating, treat it as digesting food." Ye Zhenzhen agreed simply, and then said, "However, everyone has a consensus, Chen Zufa is not one person, but a criminal gang, the two of us are still relatively dangerous. Call Wang Yan too, he can fight, his life is hard, it will definitely be no problem."

Zhu Zhe pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, then I will treat you to a late-night snack tonight. Then I'll go back and change clothes..." ===== CHAPTER 1114 =====
