The sweet and gentle boy is actually crazy and bad.

Chapter 17 Gu Xuan almost died

Wen Yisheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and slowed down her drinking.

Gu Xuan...is in the ICU?

Several girls sat together, no longer in the mood for training or warming up.

A girl who was also unaware of the situation exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to her?!"

"I heard it from a friend; Gu Xuan is usually quite wild."

"Last night she had a masked party at a villa in the mountains with a group of wealthy second-generation heirs from the entertainment circle. The men and women had a really exciting time!"

"It happened at the party, and it was the villa's chef who discovered it. Gu Xuan was locked in the villa's kitchen cold storage!"

"I was in a cold storage room at minus 10 degrees Celsius, wearing a skirt, and I was frozen for two hours! When I was rescued, I was already unconscious from the cold, and the ambulance took me directly to the ICU. Fortunately, I was able to be resuscitated."

"However, a security camera captured a scene where a boy wearing a fox mask locked Gu Xuan inside!!"

"Huh?! Who is it?" The girls collectively gasped in shock.

"That guy was really good at hiding. The camera only caught a fleeting moment, and all we could see was that he had short hair and was wearing a fox mask. But it was a mask party that night, and there were several men and women wearing that kind of mask!"

"This was clearly an attempt to kill Gu Xuan. Wearing a skirt in minus ten degrees Celsius—someone with a weak constitution wouldn't last half an hour and could easily freeze to death! Now that we have the fox mask as a clue, a thorough investigation should be able to find the killer!"

"But all the people attending the party are rich kids, so the Gu family probably doesn't dare to investigate further for fear of offending people."

The group gasped in shock: "...It seems Gu Xuan has offended some powerful figure, sigh!"

Listening to their discussion, Wen Yisheng felt a chill run down her spine.

Suddenly, he remembered that Gu Xuan had targeted him and locked him in the toilet.

Even after a bucket of water was poured on her, she still felt so cold that she had a fever. Gu Xuan had been locked in the cold storage for almost two hours. How frozen must she be!

What crime did Gu Xuan commit to deserve such retaliation from a boy?

Zhong Yue'er was also listening nearby, but she didn't participate in the discussion. She glanced thoughtfully in Wen Yisheng's direction.

Wen Yisheng got sick after being doused with cold water...

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xuan was locked in the cold storage... Was it a coincidence?

After school, Wen Yisheng got into the car to go back to the Wen family home.

The driver was still the same aloof, middle-aged man wearing sunglasses.

With only three days left before school starts, Wen Yisheng spends most of her time in her room reviewing her studies, except for dance practice. It's so difficult, especially physics; she simply can't understand it.

Wen Yisheng rubbed her face, got up and went out to get some water.

There was a tea room on the third floor where she lived. It was simply yet stylishly decorated and had all kinds of drinks, but Wen Yisheng only drank plain water. When she stood up to get water, she glanced at it inadvertently…

I see a mask on the table?

A fox mask?!

Wen Yisheng's expression went blank for a moment, then she froze as if she had seen a ghost, a chill running down her spine.

"The water tank is almost full." A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Ke Wenyisheng seemed to hear the devil whispering in her ear.

Her mind went blank, her fingertips trembled as she held the water glass, and she didn't dare turn around.

Wen Zhi had already walked over, very close to her, his arm brushing against her almost imperceptibly, a faint smile in his eyes: "Why is Ah Sheng trembling?"

Wen Yisheng forced a smile and shook her head.

"Are you feeling better? Let Dr. Li come over this afternoon to give you another IV drip," Wen Zhi said, naturally raising his hand to touch her forehead and feel her temperature.

His warm palm touched her, but Wen Yisheng was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"No need, I'm fine now!"

The boy wearing a fox mask was the one who locked Gu Xuan in the cold storage.

And last night around 9 PM, Wen Zhi... wasn't home!

Now, a fox mask has appeared here? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

Could it have been Wen Zhi who did it?

Wen Yisheng's throat was dry. Holding her water glass, she took a small sip before looking up at him and asking, "Where did you go last night?"

Wen Zhi took a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it, leaned against the edge of the table, and took a sip. His lips were wet, and he licked them before replying in a low voice, "Last night? I didn't go anywhere. I was at home the whole time."

He spoke so naturally, as if it were the truth.

lie!!

Wen Yisheng's heart raced with nervousness. Aunt Fang had said that he had gone out on business!

Wen Zhi looked at the girl's pale face, didn't say anything, but a teasing smile flashed in his eyes.

Wen Yisheng went downstairs and found Aunt Fang.

According to Li Na, Aunt Fang has worked for the Wen family for many years. She came to the Wen family when Wen Zhi's mother was still alive.

"Aunt Fang, are you free now?"

Aunt Fang is the most senior, the head of the maids, and is currently directing the cleaning.

She looked over at the sound and saw the girl's fair and pretty face. A sharp look of disgust flashed in Aunt Fang's eyes.

But her age and experience allowed her to hide it well, especially in front of a teenage girl.

"Miss Wen, is there something you need?"

Wen Yisheng nodded, looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, her small face became unusually firm and solemn.

"Aunt Fang, last night around nine o'clock, after I woke up, I asked you where Wen Zhi was, and what you answered was..."

"He went out on something, right?"

Aunt Fang glanced almost imperceptibly at the space above and behind Wen Yisheng.

The second floor.

Wen Zhi leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, a smirk playing on his lips, looking like a rascal as he casually stared downstairs.

He shook his head slightly at Aunt Fang.

Wen Yisheng suddenly felt a gaze behind her. She turned around, but the upstairs was empty. Wen Zhi had already disappeared behind the wall when she looked over.

The innocent and kind little lamb is about to step into the trap of a hypocritical and wicked wolf...

Only the most patient hunters will get the prey.

"I haven't gone out," Aunt Fang replied seriously and firmly.

Wen Yisheng was astonished: "But Aunt Fang, didn't you say that last night?"

"I misspoke. Young Master Wen Zhi was at home all night."

...

Wen Yisheng was in a state of confusion and went back to her room with a lot on her mind.

cover!

Aunt Fang has been in the Wen family for so many years and has practically watched Wen Zhi grow up. She is protecting Wen Zhi!

The evening party, the fox mask, the man, the powerful background that the Gu family dared not investigate, and Aunt Fang's inconsistent wording.

This series of information... made Wen Yisheng suspicious.

Wen Zhi is the boy who locked Gu Xuan in the cold storage!
