Chapter 101: Xie Wantang, Stop Thinking About Lu Yanshen

Xie Wantang was stunned, half‑squinting, and as Lu Chen approached, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She still hadn't smelled the familiar cedar scent on Lu Yanshen.

He…

It's not Lu Yanshen.

Xie Wantang warned herself again.

Why does she always associate him with Lu Yanshen?

"Are you okay?" Lu Chen asked caringly again.

"I'm fine, thanks." Xie Wantang shook her head, and with Lu Chen's help, straightened her posture.

"Go sit over there for a while; I'll be done here shortly."

"Okay."

Xie Wantang went over to sit, then fetched a bottle of ice water from the fridge, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip.

She sat there, watching Lu Chen climb the ladder and continue working diligently.

He was dressed very simply: a white T‑shirt and black trousers.

While pressed against the wall adjusting the camera's position, his back muscles were taut and his arms were full of muscle.

At that moment, Xie Wantang could hardly remember what Lu Yanshen's physique was like.

In that second, she was a bit shocked.

After all, even though she and Lu Yanshen had no romantic feelings, they were still legally married.

She was still carrying Lu Yanshen's child in her womb.

How long had they been divorced?

In her eyes, she saw Lu Chen's features instead.

It shows that a marriage sustained only by a bedroom relationship is truly unstable.

Even if there's already a child.

After divorcing Lu Yanshen, she felt a lingering regret, a slight sense of loss and disappointment, but no intense emotions, no big fights.

She certainly didn't cling to Lu Yanshen.

After Lu Chen finished installing, he took out a micro‑computer, barely larger than a phone.

He placed it in front of Xie Wantang, then moved a stool over and sat naturally beside her.

He rested his left hand on the armrest of Xie Wantang's chair, took a Bluetooth mouse in his right hand, clicked it now and then, and tapped the keyboard twice with one hand, writing code that Xie Wantang could not understand at all.

After Lu Chen finished, "It's ready, let me show you."

Thus, on the screen, the corridor outside Xu Yanqiu's main gate quickly appeared, and it could be zoomed to the doorway of a certain room.

Then it showed the neighboring room 1003; because that wall separates it from the living room, the surveillance view could only be of the living room.

The living room isn't small; anyone living inside must pass through the living room.

As soon as they pass, they enter the surveillance view.

In this house, how many people actually live here, whether that pitted‑and‑scarred flat‑top guy and the flat‑top man who looks a lot like Lu Yanze are the same person—this should be known soon.

Xie Wantang marveled at the power of high technology and also at how their country isn't lacking in high‑tech talent like Lu Chen with a huge brain capacity.

With people like them, their nation is bound to become the world's strongest country.

It's only a matter of time.

At this moment, room 1003 was empty, and the room was very clean, nothing like the typical man's room she imagined.

"Is the picture clear?" Lu Chen asked.

"Yes, very clear." Xie Wantang nodded.

"Alright, let's go. With these little guys' help, we only need to wait from now on."

"Thank you, Teacher Lu."

"You're welcome, it's not you who asked for me; the one who should thank me is Shen Ye, not you speaking for him."

Lu Chen didn't like Xie Wantang thanking Shen Ye on his behalf.

Moreover, this matter was originally related to him, so he had the duty to resolve it.

Xu Yanqiu said the other party grew up looking like Lu Yanze; he believes Xu Yanqiu won't be mistaken.

Xu Yanqiu isn't someone who has never seen Lu Yanze.

Therefore, whether this case is about Xie Wantang and the Lu Family, or about that male model disappearance case, or whether the two are actually linked, all possibilities exist.

Time will let them untangle it strand by strand.

Evil will have nowhere to hide.

"Let's go, I'll escort you back." Lu Chen packed away his tool bag and said to Xie Wantang.

"Teacher Lu, if there's any new development here, could you notify me immediately?"

"Of course, don't you come to LC every day?" Lu Chen smiled, his teeth very white, his grin bright and handsome.

"Okay."

On the way back, Xie Wantang was silent for a long while, then finally spoke up: "Teacher Lu, if you ever meet someone who looks exactly like you but has no blood relation, how would you feel?"

"You mean Lu Yanshen? I heard he was disfigured, that's his face." Lu Chen said while carefully watching Xie Wantang's reaction.

"…"

Xie Wantang was slightly stunned.

Disfigured?

Not that face, but the voice?

Could it also have changed because of the car accident?

You also heard it from Team Shen?

Yeah, he didn't go back to the capital?

Confirm he's disfigured?

Isn't he your Senior Martial Brother? What he said should be accurate.

Then what about Xia Meng?

Xie Wantang suddenly felt a bit sorry for Xia Meng.

If Xia Meng loves Lu Yanshen's face, then now that Lu Yanshen is disfigured, they won't go far.

If Xia Meng loves not Lu Yanshen's face but Lu Yanshen himself, then given Lu Yanshen's previous temperament, he would surely feel inferior because of the disfigurement.

That man, once he falls into inferiority, Xia Meng's days won't be easy.

Will be the same as before.

The path she has walked, Xia Meng will walk again.

If Xia Meng were alone, that would be fine, but she still has Dongdong, doesn't she?

Dongdong seeing his Uncle Lu become like this, would he be scared to cry?

Xie Wantang would then think of Xia Meng's impending situation, not because of her saintly heart, but because, as women alike, she is unwilling to be enemies with the same sex, at any time.

Moreover, during the period of Xia Meng's marriage to Lu Yanshen, aside from that night's little trick, Xia Meng didn't do anything else overly outrageous.

Unlike other mistresses, who go all out, cause trouble, even use every trick just to force their benefactor to divorce the original spouse.

Of course, other mistresses, the male benefactor also didn't give them that much sense of security.

Lu Yanshen gave Xia Meng enough sense of security.

If it weren't for Xie Wantang causing Lu Yanshen to be punished by family law, Xia Meng probably wouldn't have run to Xie Wantang and said such shameless words.

You still worried about your... rival? Lu Chen exclaimed, Lu Chen thought Xie Wantang was still oddly kind.

Just, is she that foolish?

I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about Dongdong, her son. Xie Wantang said.

Probably because she also has a little baby in her belly, how adults are, it's always unrelated to the child.

Dongdong is still so young, right?

She still has a son? Your ex-husband Lu Yanshen's? Lu Chen feigned curiosity.

Not necessarily, but he indeed looks very much like Lu Yanshen.

Then your divorce is right, Xie Wantang, don't think about Lu Yanshen anymore; this world still has many excellent men, like your Senior Martial Brother, like...... me.

Lu Chen eventually still shamelessly said that 'I' out loud.

Although he can't admit that he is her ex-husband Lu Yanshen, at least let her get to know him again.
