When Tong Jia heard these words, she inexplicably sighed with relief, but she also found it amusing. He had been searching for her for two years, and now she stood in front of him, yet he couldn’t recognize her. Time and time again, she should have understood. She endured the scalp’s throbbing pain and said softly, “I don’t know the Wanzhe you’re talking about. Please let me go, or I’ll call the police.”

“You’re holding the ring I gave to Wanzhe, and you’re telling me you don’t know her?” Han Xu’s eyes were icy, as if he intended to torture her.

Tong Jia bit her lip and remained silent.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Han Xu pushed her aside and ordered coldly, “Take her back.” If she would not speak willingly, he had ways to make her talk. After all, they hadn’t finished what they started last time.

As Shen Qingyue exited Shen Jun’s hospital room, she overheard a few nurses chatting at the nurses’ station.

“That man just now had such a grand entrance! It’s the first time I’ve seen so many bodyguards come to arrest someone. Could he be some bigshot’s spoiled wife?”

“Come on, you’ve read too many novels. The woman’s mother has been in this building’s hospital for nearly half a year, and we haven’t seen any wealthy people visiting. Besides, look at the woman’s appearance. Who from a wealthy family would be interested?”

“Could it be some criminal then? I heard someone called the police, but they came and went without saying anything…”

Listening to their conversation, Shen Qingyue approached them. “Excuse me, the woman you’re talking about, is she the relative of the patient in Room 515?”

A young nurse nodded, “It’s her, her face…” Realizing that it was inappropriate to speak like this in front of the client, the young nurse quickly changed her tone, “Her appearance is quite distinctive, I won’t forget it.”

Shen Qingyue understood and immediately had the hospital’s surveillance footage checked. She couldn’t believe her luck when she caught someone from Qin Zhen’s team deleting the surveillance footage. She dialed Qin Zhen’s number directly, “What do you mean? Why are you deleting the hospital’s surveillance footage? Do you know Tong Jia? Or is the person who took Tong Jia today connected to you?” Based on her knowledge of Qin Zhen, he didn’t seem like someone who would meddle in such affairs.

Qin Zhen pondered for a moment, “I don’t know Tong Jia, but she is related to Tong Wanzhe’s disappearance. Tong Jia won’t be harmed; Han Xu just wants to know Tong Wanzhe’s whereabouts. He asked her to inquire. It’s just that he caused too much commotion, so I helped him with the surveillance footage.” He did not think he was abetting wrongdoing; he just felt it was the right thing to do once he knew about it.

Shen Qingyue was momentarily stunned, “Tong Wanzhe? What does that have to do with Tong Wanzhe? Are you people insane? Let’s not even discuss whether Tong Jia is really connected to Tong Wanzhe’s whereabouts. You’ve known Han Xu for so long, don’t you know what he did to Tong Wanzhe? How can Han Xu have the face to look for Tong Wanzhe? If I were her, I’d wish Han

Xu were dead!”

She had learned about the affair between Han Xu and Tong Wanzhe in her previous life, and it was quite a melodramatic tale.

To put it succinctly, Tong Wanzhe had grown up in a single-parent household with only a father. She was a talented painter, and at the time, she also had a like-minded boyfriend, and they were on the verge of getting married.

But at a personal art exhibition, Tong Wanzhe met Han Xu. It could be said that she fell in love with him at first sight. After pursuing him for a while with no success, he forced her and sent their photos to Tong Wanzhe’s boyfriend, which resulted in her boyfriend being emotionally devastated and getting into a car accident. After that, there was no news of him.

In order to control her, Han Xu manipulated Tong Wanzhe’s father into gambling and accumulating debt. This forced Tong Wanzhe to turn to him.

From then on, she became his forbidden fruit.

Watching his daughter kneel beside Han Xu repeatedly, begging for his mercy, and enduring Han Xu’s verbal insults, Tong’s father completely broke down, ending his own life by jumping into the ocean.

Qin Zhen’s voice was calm, and he naturally knew these things, but what did they have to do with him? “Tong Jia took Tong Wanzhe’s ring to auction. This ring didn’t appear out of nowhere. Do you know how happy Han Xu was when he told me? He finally had news of Tong Wanzhe, so I couldn’t just sit around and not help him.”

Shen Qingyue’s thoughts were spinning, and the information in that sentence was significant. The ring auctioned by Tong Jia belonged to Tong Wanzhe? And when she insisted on auctioning it far away, what did that imply? Regardless of the speculations that arose, Shen Qingyue didn’t voice them and said, “Han

Xu ruined Tong Wanzhe’s life. Perhaps Tong Wanzhe has found a new life now. Why not let bygones be bygones? Is that not a good idea?”

Qin Zhen only replied, “People make mistakes, and besides, Tong Wanzhe’s father’s accident was unexpected. Han Xu cares deeply about Tong Wanzhe..”
