NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 238: Chilling
Terrifying!
He Shiqin stared at Wu Chen with wide eyes, in disbelief. There was a turbulent wave in her heart, and there was a “buzz” in her head. Suddenly, something was completely wrong with her whole person!
Fear, there was fear in He Shiqin’s eyes!
It wasn’t Ding Ruilong who frightened her, but the person who mentioned the name Ding Ruilong – Wu Chen!
When He Shiqin heard Wu Chen mention the words Ding Ruilong, she immediately knew that Wu Chen was coming for her. Although she couldn’t believe it and didn’t want to believe it, it was the fact!
There was no other possibility.
He Shiqin had not seen Ding Ruilong for many years, but they contacted each other through phone every year. Ding Ruilong would pay He Xinxin’s child support to her. Sometimes they would call and sometimes they wouldn’t.
And He Shiqin was not from Shanghai.
She was from Nanguang.
She moved to Shanghai a year after her daughter was born. In Shanghai, she started over. This was a city where no one knew her. She regained friends and interpersonal relationships that had nothing to do with before.
In Shanghai, none of her friends knew her past!
Over the years, no one bothered her.
In her current “world”, no one knew what she experienced before, and no one knew the name Ding Ruilong! At least that’s what He Shiqin thought. However, in the past ten years, it happened several times that someone pursued her and then suddenly alienated her.
He Shiqin could imagine what happened.
She knew that her life was hopeless… and He Shiqin had long since stopped thinking about him. She focused all her thoughts on raising her daughter. She felt that she would probably never hear Ding Ruilong from anyone else in her life. But she would still live in the shadow of Ding Ruilong all his life.
That’s how it would be in this life.
She never expected that Wu Chen would actually say the words “Ding Ruilong”!
He Shiqin didn’t believe in coincidences. In this crowded world, the teacher she found online and in a chat group happened to know Ding Ruilong.
Did he know about my relationship with Ding Ruilong?
This can’t be a coincidence!
But it was precisely because it was not a coincidence that He Shiqin was frightened. It was because… she was the one who took the initiative to find Wu Chen. It was she who took the initiative to chat with Wu Chen in private. It was she who strongly requested to meet Wu Chen and who strongly wanted to ask Wu Chen to be her daughter’s tutor!
Everything was initiated by her.
A fear that made her shudder!
She even felt like she was being manipulated, a feeling that she took the initiative but was being manipulated!
When she thought of this, He Shiqin’s whole body started to get cold.
Wu Chen kept smiling and looked at He Shiqin. He Shiqin seemed to be unable to recover. She kept looking at Wu Chen with a horrified expression. The two looked at each other… In fact, Wu Chen’s words revealed a lot of information.
When he said, “You’re not afraid that Ding Ruilong knowing that you took your daughter to leave Shanghai without permission,” he was telling He Shiqin that he knew about Ding Ruilong’s control over her.
The amount of information contained in this was not ordinary!
Wu Chen must know the specific experiences she had with Ding Ruilong, as well as some situations over the years before he could say this.
He Shiqin felt colder and colder the more she thought about it.
She was frightened by Wu Chen.
“Actually, your worries are unnecessary.” Wu Chen smiled and said to He Shiqin, “You took Xinxin to travel to the capital the year before last, and you didn’t tell him about it in advance. Ding Ruilong knew about it and mentioned it in a subsequent phone call with you, but he just mentioned it…
“He doesn’t have people watching you all the time. He doesn’t care about many things. As long as you don’t take Xinxin abroad, it will be fine wherever you go in the country.”
Wu Chen saying this was not meant to let He Shiqin understand the situation or calm her down.
It was just to let her understand that he, Wu Chen, was there for her, and he knew a lot!
He Shiqin was still speechless. After a while, she managed to speak, and asked in a low voice with a little trembling, “You, are you… taking the initiative to approach me?”
“Uh-huh!” Wu Chen nodded and smiled.
He admitted it very frankly.
It’s now time. Everything that should be paved has been laid, and Wu Chen had nothing he couldn’t be calm about.
According to his plan, he wanted to show his cards before taking He Shiqin and He Xinxin to Donghai. He didn’t want to trick He Shiqin into going there.
Although Wu Chen already had the opportunity to deceive He Shiqin and He Xinxin into going to Donghai, it would be difficult to deal with them afterwards. To deceive them and then show them off was an extremely serious deception.
It would even seem like kidnapping and coercion!
He Shiqin’s resistance would destroy everything Wu Chen prepared.
She might even take her daughter and run away secretly, or if it’s more serious, she might ask Ding Ruilong for help.
In that case, it would be too difficult for her to be a witness!
So… Wu Chen wanted her to make her own decision! She took the initiative to agree to go to Donghai, which was what Wu Chen wanted. Wu Chen needed He Shiqin to actively cooperate with him to do many things, so this must be the case!
“I…” He Shiqin suddenly stood up, took her bag and wanted to say something, but she didn’t say anything and turned around to leave.
She just wanted to run away now.
She wanted to go home!
To never contact Wu Chen again!
“About Dong Yuantao…” Wu Chen said with a smile, then started.
He just said five words, and then stopped. But these five words were enough.
He Shiqin, who had just turned around to leave, suddenly stopped, and then she turned around sharply to look at Wu Chen!
Her eyes were wide open, and she was horrified.
In fact, if the name Dong Yuantao was heard by others, even if it was heard by people who knew Dong Yuantao, they would not understand what Wu Chen was going to say.
Dong Yuantao accidentally drowned that year… Wu Chen just mentioned the name.
He Shiqin immediately understood what Wu Chen was going to say, because she was one of the few people in the world who knew the truth about Dong Yuantao’s death.
She was also the only witness who could prove that Dong Yuantao was murdered!
Wu Chen had shown before that he knew many things.
So He Shiqin was horrified… Wu Chen even knew this?
“Want to talk?” Wu Chen asked with another smile.
He Shiqin was frozen there. She didn’t want to talk, but she wanted to talk. It was a very contradictory mentality. She didn’t want to talk because she really didn’t want to mention this matter. This could be said to be a turning point that changed the fate of her life. Among them also involved too many sad, hateful and dangerous things. What she wanted to talk about was… how did Wu Chen know? What else did Wu Chen know?
The most important thing was that if this matter was leaked, it would kill her!
Ding Ruilong would definitely kill her first to silence her! He would make the only witness disappear!
“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Wu Chen said and stood up.
This Shuiyue Bay Cafe was a relatively high-end but bourgeois cafe. There were not too many customers in the morning. If Wu Chen and He Shiqin just chatted, it would be no problem. There was no problem if strangers overheard their opening sentences. It’s nothing.
But once the matter got deeper and involved murder or death, it was definitely not allowed to be discussed in such a public place.
Wu Chen walked out.
It wasn’t until he walked five or six meters that He Shiqin, who had a struggling expression, caught up with Wu Chen. She quickened her pace, following behind Wu Chen.
They exited the coffee shop.
Wu Chen did not walk towards his car, but walked directly along the sidewalk to the west. He Shiqin followed Wu Chen. The two of them walked in tandem.
Not far away, Wu Chen turned up the steps, and He Shiqin looked up at the same time. One glance and their steps slowed down.
Because Wu Chen wanted to take her into a four-star hotel that happened to be near the coffee shop.
The next thing the two of them were going to talk about must be in an absolutely private space.
So… he want to get a room in the hotel… and chat?
