When Chen Huan got home, she drew several circles in the toilet and cursed Boss Wan's ancestors to vent her anger. When she was about to take a shower and go to bed, her phone rang again.
"Hello!"
"Chen Huan?" It was a woman.
Chen Huan was surprised. "Liu Rui?"
Half an hour later, Liu Rui arrived at her house.
"Why are you in Z City?"
Liu Rui leaned on the sofa seductively. She flipped her wavy hair and looked at her charmingly. "I finished my experiment ahead of schedule, so I'm here for a vacation. I'm just passing by, so I came to see you! "
"See me?" Chen Huan looked at her suspiciously. She didn't believe her at all.
She and Liu Rui had always been on bad terms in the institute. Liu Rui always compared herself to her and even mocked her. Why would she come to see her?
"What's with that expression? I'm just passing by. I have a midnight flight!" Liu Rui stood up. "I'll take a shower here and then go to the airport."
Chen Huan watched her walk into the bathroom. She frowned, took a blanket, and lay down on the sofa. When she was about to fall asleep, Liu Rui came out. "I'm leaving. Have a nice vacation!"
Hearing the door close, Chen Huan scratched her head and went into the bedroom. She heard the doorbell ring just as she fell asleep.
"Who is it?" she asked, leaning against the door.
"Hello, we're the police. Please open the door." They showed their ID to the peephole. Chen Huan opened the door.
There were two policemen standing outside. Chen Huan was completely awake. "What do you want?"
"Chen Huan, right?" One of the policemen took out a photo. "Do you know this man?"
The man in the photo was the underground businessman Chen Huan had met last night. She hesitated for two seconds and nodded. "Not really. We met last night."
"Then please come with us. This man is dead."
Chen Huan was taken away by the police. A few technicians were left at her house to search for evidence. When they arrived at the police station, Chen Huan calmly recorded her statement. She told the police that she was a doctor. She saw the post of the deceased on the Internet and knew that he had done research on some strange drugs.
"As medical workers, we're just exchanging ideas. Tonight was the first time we met." Chen Huan smiled. "I went straight home after leaving the cafe. I don't know how he died."
The policeman asked her to sign and then went out. After a while, he came in with another bag. "Miss Chen, this was found in your house."
"What is this?"
"It's the tissue in your bag, but it's stained with blood. We've confirmed that it belongs to the deceased. What else do you have to say? "The policeman held it up for her to see.
Chen Huan's eyes widened. "No … Impossible … I didn't kill anyone!"
"Miss Chen, we'll give you time to think about it." After saying that, he left her alone in the small dark room.
Chen Huan's face hurt from the heat of the lamp above her head. She began to string together what had happened that night. No wonder Liu Rui would suddenly go to her house. She could only be the one who put the blood-stained tissues there.
"Liu Rui, do you hate me that much?" Chen Huan leaned on the chair weakly.
She really could not understand Liu Rui's behavior. Even if she really killed someone, the country would protect her, not to mention that she was now wrongly accused. Chen Huan sighed. She was about to ask the police to make a call when a police officer ran in to tell her.
"Miss Chen, you can leave now."
Chen Huan stood up. "Have you found the murderer? “
The police officer did not say anything. He just smiled at her. Chen Huan walked out of the police station, baffled. She saw Wan Yi standing beside the car, looking at her.
"Miss Chen, we meet again!" He opened the car door and gestured for her to get in.
Chen Huan rolled her eyes and got in. Boss Wan sat inside with a glass of red wine in his hand.
"Who told you to be a busybody?" Chen Huan glared at him angrily.
Boss Wan poured her a glass of wine. "Is this how you treat your savior?"
"No need. I can still get out without you," Chen Huan said impatiently. "Start the car. Take me back to bed."
Boss Wan did not say anything. The car moved forward slowly. Chen Huan looked at the streetlights outside. She kept thinking about Liu Rui. Boss Wan tossed a file bag beside her. "All the evidence points to you. You're going to be the scapegoat."
Chen Huan quickly glanced at the contents. She frowned and was about to say something when Boss Wan raised his hand.
"I know they can bail you out. But if those people find out, do you think you'll still have a vacation next year?" Boss Wan saw that her face was getting darker. He smirked and continued, "Judging from the way those people do things, I'm afraid you'll be stuck in jail for years to keep you safe."
After he said that, Chen Huan's focus was no longer on today's incident.
"As expected of the big boss hiding behind the scenes. You managed to dig out my identity in such a short time," Chen Huan sneered. "Just tell me. Do you want me to make medicine or weapons for you?"
Boss Wan narrowed his eyes. "I'm a law-abiding citizen. I wouldn't dare to do what you just said."
Chen Huan snorted and turned to look out of the car window.
"I just want to ask you for a small favor."
"I knew you wanted something …" Chen Huan looked at Boss Wan with pity.
Boss Wan said, "I'll be staying in Z City for a while. During this time, please pretend to be my … girlfriend."
"I don't have time." Chen Huan shook her head immediately. She did not want to be involved with this man. "Change it. I can make you a batch of miniature weapons."
"I don't need that." Boss Wan looked at her. "Actually, you don't need to do anything. You just need to have dinner with me occasionally and attend balls."
Chen Huan looked at him suspiciously. "Can't you just hire someone with money?"
"I'll find out." The man gave her a look that said, "No one can find out who you are. It's safer this way. People will be more wary of you." Boss Wan flicked his leg a few times. "Of course, I won't let you do it for free."
Chen Huan curled her lips. "Nonsense. Who's going to do it if I don't pay?"
A voice came from the partition. "Boss, we're here."
"I'm getting out." Chen Huan opened the car door and was about to run.
Boss Wan followed her out. "We're dating now. Of course, we have to stay together."
"You're staying at my place?" Chen Huan asked in disbelief.
"Well, you can stay at my place." Boss Wan pointed at Wan Yi. "Go up and help her pack."
Chen Huan stopped Wan Yi. "No! I don't want to stay with you. "
"Are you sure?" Boss Wan asked expressionlessly. "You know who I am. There are a few groups of people watching me! What if it's like last time … "
"I'll pack on my own," Chen Huan said fiercely. Then, she turned and ran upstairs.
Wan Yi was a little worried. "Boss, her identity is very sensitive. Don't drag us down with her." Ever since Wan Yi found out about Chen Huan's background, he had crossed her off the list of future sisters-in-law. With Boss Wan's identity, the last thing he wanted was to deal with the government.
"It's okay. I know what I'm doing." Boss Wan sat back in the car. "Wan Er, call Wan Wu. Ask him to clean up the room next to mine."
Chen Huan kept a straight face all the way. Even as the car drove into the seaside villas, she did not forget to mock Boss Wan.
"Isn't this your first time back in China? You bought a house pretty quickly. " She had asked around when she bought a house. It cost more than a hundred thousand per square meter. It was impossible to buy a house here.
Boss Wan did not seem to notice her sarcasm. He nodded. "Yeah. Same as you. I bought it last year."
"Then you should know that I bought the house with your five million, right?" Chen Huan looked at him smugly. "I hope you can keep up the good work, Mr. Wan. The money you gave me this time is enough for me to buy a house like this!"
"That will depend on your performance," Boss Wan said with a smile.
Chen Huan did not bother to look at him. The man's eyes were cold even when he was smiling. His fake smile gave her goosebumps.
Chen Huan's mood improved a little when they arrived at Boss Wan's house. The three-story house was close to the sea. The beach could be reached directly from the garden behind. The house next to it was far from Boss Wan's house, but it was even less safe.
"No one will know even if you get shot in this house." She deliberately picked on Boss Wan.
"Don't worry, Miss Chen," Wan Yi said with a smile. "Our security system is top notch. Even a fly will know."
Chen Huan snatched the suitcase from his hand and ran upstairs. She shouted at them, "Which room am I in?"
"Miss Chen, this one!" Wan Wu stood in front of a room. "I've cleaned it up just now. See if you like it."
The room was bigger than Chen Huan's two bedrooms and one living room combined. It even had a balcony.
"I'm going to bed." Chen Huan looked at Boss Wan, who was walking towards her.
"I'm not here tomorrow. If you want to go out, ask Wan Wu to go with you." Boss Wan walked straight to her. "Hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"
Chen Huan slammed the door shut.
"I'm not happy when I see you …"
Her voice was so loud that the men outside heard her.
"Her temper is getting worse." Wan Yi frowned. "Wan Wu, keep an eye on her."
Boss Wan shook his head. "No need. Let her do whatever she wants."
Wan Yi followed him into the room. Wan Er said, "Boss, the people from Eastern Europe have entered the country."
"They're in Z City?" Wan Yi asked hastily. "Are they coming for us?"
"I don't know yet." Wan Er frowned. "I just received the news last night."
Boss Wan thought for a moment. "Keep an eye on them. If they enter Z City, I'm afraid they're coming for us."
The last group of people had been killed, but at the same time, it also exposed that Boss Wan was indeed suspicious. However, they had no other choice but to kill him.
"We can't hide it for long." Three years ago, when Boss Wan acquired the arms trade in Asia, he knew that his identity would be exposed sooner or later. A year ago, when he appeared in the casino, he attracted a lot of attention. Since then, he had known that this day would come.
That was why he wanted to come back to see Guo Juan …
"If Guo Juan calls this weekend, tell her that I agreed to have dinner with her."
Wan Yi nodded. "Got it."
Meanwhile, Chen Huan had already slipped into the kitchen. She boiled a pot of water, poured herself a cup, and returned to her room. If one could see her face right now, they would see that the corners of her mouth were curled up high. She looked like she had succeeded in her scheme.
