Soul Patch

Chapter 46 Lianhua Department Store

With this slam of the table, the image of Lin Tao picking up an egg and Lin Yufei chewing wontons froze in time, then shattered into pieces.

Like a camera lens recording fragments of life being shattered by a bullet, everything crashes to the ground.

However, all of this happened quietly, without making a sound.

For a moment, Wenjie saw a chaotic scene in front of him, as if the pixels had been jumbled together, making it impossible to discern what the image was trying to convey.

Perhaps Zhang Qian's thinking was disturbed by Wen Jie, leading to temporary confusion in her thoughts.

Soon, a bowl of egg noodles appeared in front of him, and Wenjie looked up to see the two men's concerned eyes.

It is Zhang Qian's father and Zhang Qian's husband—Lin Tao.

Lin Tao's eyes were filled with unconcealed sorrow. He said in a low voice, "Why transfer schools? Fei Fei... Fei Fei is gone."

Zhang Qian's father immediately glared at Lin Tao, stopping him from continuing to speak.

"Okay, okay, okay, you want to transfer schools? You eat first, then we'll go to the school to complete the procedures for Feifei."

The two grown men whispered to each other in front of Wenjie:

"Zhang Qian can't be upset right now! Don't say things like 'Feifei is no longer here' in front of Zhang Qian."

Also, Lin Tao, you need to fully cooperate with me. Everything I've done is for Zhang Qian, for our family.

Zhang Qian's father was a little agitated, his face flushed, and he tried his best to keep his voice down, but it was still very loud, and Wenjie could hear every word he said clearly.

"Dad, please stop making trouble. This family is already falling apart. Do you want us all to sleep on the streets?"

Don't think I don't know. The bank's loan department called my cell phone today, asking about the large sum of money you borrowed by mortgaging your house.

What exactly do you want?

Lin Tao was so angry that he almost shouted what he said next.

Wenjie stared in astonishment at the two men, who looked quite respectable, talking back and forth in front of him, getting more and more agitated as they spoke.

He didn't know how to stop them from arguing and smashing bowls!

With a sudden thought, Zhang Qian smashed the bowl of noodles in front of her.

As the sound of the porcelain bowl shattering echoed through the room, the two men finally fell silent.

Zhang Qian's father sighed silently, turned and left the makeshift dining table, his figure disappearing into the distant mist.

"I'd give my life for Zhang Qian's well-being."

The sound pierced through the hazy mist and reached Wenjie and Lin Tao's ears. For a moment, the two looked at each other strangely and remained silent.

Lin Tao raised his hand and gently stroked Zhang Qian's long hair. Zhang Qian's hair was very beautiful. He had been attracted by her thick, black hair ever since he first saw her in high school.

That day, Zhang Qian stood on the school's football field. Her blue and white school uniform perfectly depicted her youthful and lovely image. Looking around, Lin Tao saw her long, waterfall-like hair drawing a beautiful arc in front of him.

Lin Tao picked up a small lock of long hair and twirled it between his fingers. Ever since Fei Fei's accident, Zhang Qian had suffered a mental breakdown and hadn't taken care of her beautiful hair properly.

Looking at the dry, messy hair in his hands, Lin Tao sighed and moved closer to "Zhang Qian," his burning gaze sweeping over her.

For some reason, when Wenjie's eyes swept over Zhang Qian's body in her pajamas, he felt a strange sense of being sexually harassed from afar.

Wenjie was very resistant. Seeing a grown man drooling over him was disgusting.

Soon, Lin Tao and Zhang Qian embraced intimately, and he reached out to touch Zhang Qian's breasts...

"It's not easy for couples who go through hardships together. Just treat it like watching a movie on the computer," Wenjie comforted himself.

Come on, that's not the same as watching porn. Live streaming is much more exciting.

Lin Tao carried Zhang Qian to the bed in the bedroom, locked the door, and quickly stripped off her clothes, throwing her still-warm pajamas to the floor...

A thick fog slowly rose before his eyes, engulfing Zhang Qian, Lin Tao, the dining table, and the room.

[The target individual is unable to project thoughts, thus forcibly terminating this life trajectory correction.]

The clean system appeared in time to prevent Wenjie from being contaminated by inappropriate images!

"System, you've appeared just in time!" Wenjie cursed inwardly.

When I tried to quit, there was no response. Just when I finally encountered some erotic scenes, I was forcibly quit.

Suddenly everything went black, and a feeling of weightlessness washed over him. When Wenjie opened his eyes, he was already lying on his bed in his room.

How can he sleep if we force him out of the system at this point?

He rushed to the kitchen, poured himself a glass of cold water, and gulped it down. The cool liquid calmed his agitation.

He underestimated the difficulty of a Class C mission, and how to correct the life trajectory of the target individual if the timeline remains unchanged.

The question had barely crossed my mind when it was replaced by another.

What is Zhang Qian's father going to do?

From the day he acquired the system, he was subjected to comprehensive surveillance:

Videos on a laptop, a webcam inside a Barbie doll, a listening device in a light switch hole...

The resolute words of Zhang Qian's father echoed in my mind: "As long as Zhang Qian can be alright, I'd give my life for her!"

Was everything the old man did to save his daughter?

The girl in the video with the black and white compass, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and was wearing a school uniform, should be Zhang Qian from many years ago.

No wonder Wenjie thought Lin Yufei looked a lot like the photo in the video when he saw her.

Wait... is this the important point?

No!

The key question is, how did Zhang Qian's father know that he could save his daughter?

Thinking about this, Wenjie became unsettled.

He repeatedly "bumped into" Zhang Qian's father in the park, which must mean that Zhang Qian's father was spying on him.

Where can we find Zhang Qian's father?

Wenjie carefully reviewed the events, and an address mentioned by the police when the computer was stolen suddenly popped into his head:

A used computer repair shop on the basement floor of Lianhua Department Store.

The computer had been tampered with, and it was found in a computer repair shop...

If the other party did it intentionally, then the more impossible the place, the more suspicious it is!
