Fortunately, Su Yining was already used to such sudden changes in plans, so she didn't ask too many questions and immediately said she would go there right away.
"What comes next..."
Chen Shi changed his clothes, picked up his violin case, stepped into his shoe, and hopped out while pulling out his heel.
Should we notify Zhang Chengkang?
Jiang Liu had said to talk to Zhang Chengkang first in case of any unexpected situation. But now, no one knows who the culprit behind this is...
Perhaps we can first figure out the situation, and if that doesn't work, we can try the death rewind function?
"No, the death regression point is uncertain, so it's best not to do anything reckless."
After a brief deliberation, Chen Shi still made a call to Zhang Chengkang.
The first time, the call didn't go through.
A few minutes later, I tried again, and finally got through just before I was about to hang up.
"Hello, Chen Shi?"
Zhang Chengkang spoke up:
"The Jiang family was having their morning meeting just now. Is there anything I can help you with?"
That voice was still so magnetic; I could almost picture him wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with his hair slicked back.
“It’s me. Do you remember when Wu Hui tried to kill someone at Nanjing University? I have intelligence that something similar might happen at the Multimedia Shopping Mall in the west of the city. Can you come and help us investigate?” Chen Shi went straight to the point.
"Where did you get this intelligence?" Zhang Chengkang asked.
“My…personal relationship.” Chen Shi vaguely mentioned the premonition.
Zhang Chengkang remained silent for a moment, and finally said:
"Ah."
Hmm! ? What does "hmm" mean?
"Wait for me, I'm driving over now, it'll take half an hour."
After saying that, Zhang Chengkang hung up the phone.
Oh my, this elite man's way of speaking is driving me crazy.
Chen Shi hailed a taxi and started heading towards his destination—actually, he had a driver's license; he had taken the test after graduating from high school, but his family was short of savings and he hadn't bought a car.
It's troublesome if you can't floor the gas pedal in situations like this.
However, there is a way...
"Master, my girlfriend ran off with someone else, I'm going to the mall to catch her in the act."
"Hold on tight, little brother."
The engine started running the next second.
This damn push-back feeling.
The journey that should have taken half an hour was completed in a mere 20 minutes.
Leaving behind his mentor who was peering out to join the fun, Chen Shi grabbed his violin case and rushed to the mall entrance.
Su Yining is already here.
"Senior? You also told Master you wanted to catch them cheating?"
"What? My home isn't far from here, it's only a ten-minute subway ride."
Su Yining was clearly a little anxious:
"So what's going on?"
"It's not certain yet, but it's very likely to be the Prosperous Flower Fair again. We'll check the mall and contact you immediately if anything seems amiss."
"it is good."
Su Yining acted immediately, glancing at Chen Shi from time to time, her crimson eyes showing some hesitation.
She wanted to ask Chen Shi why he could always foresee these things, but the situation was urgent, so she didn't ask.
Chen Shi and Su Yining split up and searched the mall, trying to find any suspicious people or anything unusual.
Suddenly, my phone rang.
It's Wang Wei.
[Wang Wei: Old Chen, I've appeased Senior Wu. But she's already gone out; I've invited her to my place. I'll cook her some food, and this afternoon I'll take her somewhere else to look around.]
Chen Shi: Okay, we'll talk later.
He only relaxed a little after confirming that Wang Wei wouldn't be coming.
We had barely finished talking when Zhang Chengkang called:
"Chen Shi, I've arrived. I'm on the first floor."
"Received. I can't be completely sure of the situation right now. Keep an eye out in the mall and contact me immediately if anything seems amiss."
"it is good."
Initially, Zhang Chengkang would definitely have thought he was unreliable. However, after what happened with Wu Hui and the hospital, the elite man clearly trusted him completely.
Of course, the identity of "Jiang Liu's apprentice" may also have played a role.
For the rest of the time, Chen Shi searched back and forth in the mall, paying attention to the conversations of the staff and searching every nook and cranny, but he found nothing.
We searched all day, from morning till night, even after the mall closed at 10 pm, but still found nothing unusual.
A peaceful batch.
Back at the mall entrance, Su Yining and Zhang Chengkang met up one after another.
As expected, Zhang Chengkang was still dressed in the standard white shirt, black trousers, gold-rimmed glasses, and slicked-back hair.
"We didn't find anything?"
Su Yining's hair was a little messy. If it used to look like a few bright flames burning, now it looked like it had burned too much.
"I don't have any either."
Zhang Chengkang, having spent the entire day running around, adjusted his glasses and said with a hint of doubt:
"Chen Shi, are your private information channels reliable?"
"Reliable, it has never made a mistake before."
Chen Shi glanced at the time.
It's 10 o'clock now, and there are still four hours left until the end of the day. The other party may also pick on lone people after the mall closes.
"Let's wait a little longer, until the end of today," he suggested.
“Okay.” Su Yining didn’t have many doubts. She had already witnessed Chen Shi’s “foresight” when he was ferrying spirits before.
"Yes, it's better to be safe."
Zhang Chengkang glanced at Chen Shi, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.
"What's wrong?" Chen Shi asked.
"nothing."
Zhang Chengkang adjusted his glasses:
"It is said that apprentices are a reflection of their masters, and that is certainly true."
Chen Shi paused for a moment. He was holding a violin at this moment, rushing around to prevent death, and he did indeed resemble Jiang Liu a bit.
"Let's keep guarding it. I'll climb in and take a few more peeks."
Zhang Chengkang chose to trust and returned to the business world.
……
However, at exactly 12 o'clock, nothing unexpected happened.
"Thanks for your hard work."
At times like this, all Chen Shi could say was that all his efforts had been in vain.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Chengkang and taking Su Yining home, Chen Shi walked back alone.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to think:
"Could the target really be Wang Wei? The other party knew Wang Wei was coming to the mall and made preparations in advance, but I persuaded him to stay, so the death didn't happen... The precognitive letter can't be wrong, so the ending has already been changed?"
"But if that's the case, how did they know in advance that Wang Wei was going to the mall if someone really wanted to kill him?"
"Did he tell the basketball club members? Besides the club members, only I, the senior student, and his senior sister Wu know......"
Chen Shi paused, his heart sinking instantly.
It’s over.
My house was robbed.
It's Senior Wu!
Chapter 101 Love Requires Caution
At night, Chen Shi sped along the road.
The summer breeze felt slightly sticky on his face, and the streetlights cast cold circles of light on the ground, constantly passing beneath his feet.
While running, he dialed Wang Wei's number:
"Answer the phone quickly, hurry up..."
Chen Shi prayed, his bangs blowing in the wind, and a layer of fine sweat covering his forehead.
"Beep...beep..."
The phone was busy, and no one answered for a long time.
This was his fifth call, and none of them were answered.
Chen saw a bicycle by the roadside, grabbed it, and started pedaling towards his destination.
Ten minutes later, he almost floated to a stop downstairs in the residential area, leaving a black mark on the ground with his rubber tires.
He knew Wang Wei's address.
This guy comes from a well-off family, but his parents live in a neighboring city. However, he felt restricted living in a dorm with other people, so he rented a place on his own so he wouldn't have to worry about disturbing his roommates' sleep while playing games at night.
Chen Shi took the elevator. Wang Wei's home was on the 6th floor. After thinking for a while, he pressed the button for the 4th floor and decided to take the stairs for the last two floors.
In case someone is waiting at the elevator entrance.
"You'd better have just fallen asleep from playing too much this afternoon."
Chen Shi thought to himself, slung the violin over his shoulder, took out the suspender rope, and the satin on his right forearm gleamed.
When I got to the 6th floor, there was no one waiting in the hallway, and the doors were closed.
He pressed the password and turned the doorknob—Wang Wei had told him the password.
"Click..."
The door opened.
Instantly, a strong smell of blood filled the nostrils, and the whole room was filled with a faint, fishy odor. It wasn't strong, but anyone with a keen sense of smell could immediately detect it.
Chen Shi's heart leaped into his throat; he already knew the answer.
He remained calm, closed his eyes, and used his intuition to scan the room to confirm that there were no suspicious persons inside.
"No one was hiding? Or perhaps the other party had a stronger intuition than me and hid themselves..."
Remain vigilant and continue walking in, following the scent of blood.
Upon entering the living room, I found the coffee table overturned, glass shattered, and shards scattered all over the floor.
