Soul Patch

Chapter 184 Going to the Medical Records Room at Night (Bonus Chapter)

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing frowned slightly, a smile playing on her lips, but her tone turned cold: "Only children make choices; adults want them all."

"That's a man's line, isn't it!" Wenjie didn't realize that Liu Qingqing had become playful and unrestrained in her speech.

"Whoever says so gets to decide!" Liu Qingqing smiled faintly, revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth. She was quite charming when she smiled.

"Stop joking, what exactly is your plan?"

Wenjie stared at Liu Qingqing for a moment, then said, "Don't move! Stand still!"

Liu Qingqing suddenly stopped and looked at Wenjie, puzzled.

Wenjie was staring intently at her white shirt. She subconsciously looked down and wondered if there was anything wrong with her clothes.

Wenjie lowered his head, stared at the silver brooch on Liu Qingqing's chest for a moment, and asked, "Has this always been there?"

"What?" Liu Qingqing pulled up her collar to look at it. "A brooch?"

She reached out and touched the brooch, taking it from the pocket of her white shirt.

"I didn't notice. I can't keep looking down at my pockets to see if there's a brooch. But you, can you recall if this thing has always been on my clothes?" Liu Qingqing said with a helpless pout.

Having fought with Jia Nan before, Wenjie was particularly wary of such clothing and accessories. He took the brooch from Liu Qingqing and examined it carefully.

"It looks very old, not like something from twenty years ago. What do you think?"

"Yes, it's even less like the jewelry we have now."

"Hmm? Why?" Wenjie was genuinely unsure, and he was honest about it.

In that instant, his mind was filled with a variety of styles and types of men's accessories, but his mind went completely blank when it came to women's items.

He could hardly remember that after promising Yang Shanshan he would buy her a pair of sunglasses, he had consciously started paying attention to information about branded sunglasses.

He looked at Liu Qingqing dejectedly, a look of loneliness and sadness that seemed out of place with the scene: because at that moment, he truly felt Yang Shanshan fading out of his life...

They're even going to erase my memories!

“The designs are much more fashionable now, and the materials are more sophisticated. This is just ordinary silver jewelry; you can see there are black spots from oxidation.” Liu Qingqing pointed to the black spots on the back of the brooch.

"So the brooch the system gave you is very old..." Wenjie thoughtfully agreed.

"System?" Liu Qingqing asked in surprise.

"Who else could it be? Could it be Li Shiman's parents?" Wenjie asked after a moment's thought.

"..." Liu Qingqing rubbed her forehead and thought for a while, then shook her head helplessly.

She couldn't remember and gave up. She pouted and said, "Let's go eat. Maybe I'll remember in a bit."

“If we’re talking about food, we really won’t have money for lodging, unless… unless…” Wenjie said, looking at the brooch, a sly glint in his eyes: “Unless we sell the brooch.”

"..." Liu Qingqing.

Wenjie reached out and pried the brooch open. To Liu Qingqing's surprise, it wasn't made of silver, but rather of some kind of white composite material. It was quite soft and could be easily pried open with force.

After breaking it open, a small red object, about the size of a little fingernail, is embedded in the raised part of the brooch. The back is printed with a string of English words, and the front has honeycomb holes for sound recording.

It's a foreign product!

This little gadget looks like a miniature listening device.

However, it might also be a tracker.

Whatever it is, it's definitely not a good thing.

Wenjie simply threw the thing on the roadside, then pinched the brooch back on and pinned it to Liu Qingqing's chest.

"..." Liu Qingqing.

"Now we can talk about tonight's plans. We'll go to the hospital's medical records room tonight," Wenjie said, glancing at Liu Qingqing and lowering his voice.
