Soul Patch

Chapter 59 Muddle through

"It's you! You don't even dare to admit what you did!" The man lying on the ground became increasingly angry.

He struggled to reach into his pocket.

Wenjie reacted quickly, kicking away the object the man in black had pulled out.

With a "thud," the thing was kicked two or three meters away.

Wenjie and Bai Yu then realized that it was a cell phone.

Bai Yu stepped over the man on the ground, took two steps forward, picked up the phone, and dusted it off.

He turned on the phone, handed it to the man, and asked him to unlock it.

"Mmm, mmm!" The man gestured with his lips toward his dislocated right arm.

Oh, the two of them understood; the fingerprint sensor for powering on was set to the right hand.

Bai Yu got up impatiently, went around to the man's right side, grabbed the man's index finger, and pressed the unlock button.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, the phone kept vibrating.

"Thumbs up!" The man was speechless.

"Pah, why didn't you say so earlier!" Bai Yu was even more impatient.

"My whole arm is numb, how am I supposed to know which finger you grabbed?" The man on the ground argued with Bai Yu.

He simply didn't like Bai Yu.

"Are you never going to stop? Are you looking for trouble? Believe me or not, we'll take you to the police station," Bai Yu said angrily.

Sure enough, the guy on the ground quieted down as soon as the police station was mentioned.

"Damn it, there's nothing there!"

Bai Yu shoved his phone into Wen Jie's hand, crossed his arms, and stomped two steps to the side in a huff.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it silently.

He was very annoyed; it seemed that women he met at nightclubs really couldn't be trusted.

That Sisi looked to be only in her early twenties, with a pure and lovely appearance. Who knew she was hiding such a deep secret! She almost got herself killed.

He didn't have a strong impression of Sisi at first, thinking her looks and figure were just average. In any case, she didn't meet his requirements for a female companion.

Sisi tried every means to get close to him, but he resisted her temptations time and time again and didn't get on her good side.

He couldn't even remember exactly what happened the first time he slept with Xixi. He only remembered waking up in a hotel bed and inexplicably getting involved with this woman.

He goes out to spend money and have fun, but he has one principle: don't cause trouble.

In other words, he won't touch women who have boyfriends, let alone women who have husbands.

The purpose is so that when they get tired of it, they can walk away unscathed.

He never expected that after all his calculations, he would fall for this plain-looking woman. If he had fallen for a great beauty, he could have tolerated it, but this... it's so frustrating!

Bai Yu became increasingly agitated, but he would definitely try to shirk responsibility for this kind of thing.

He just opened his photo album and saw the latest video; it was of a hotel king-size bed…

He deleted the video directly, and also found the video he had just moved in the junk photo album and deleted it as well.

Wenjie fiddled with it for a long time but didn't see any video.

He held up his phone and asked the man in black on the ground, "Where are you? Tell me and I'll come find you!"

"It's in the photo album!" the man said irritably.

It felt like he was being completely cuckolded, and he felt his dignity as a man had been blatantly trampled on. This made him feel like he was about to explode.

“The album doesn’t have it, and my friend said it doesn’t exist either. I think you might be mistaken!” Wenjie said, looking at the album repeatedly.

"Impossible, I clearly saw it!" The man in black tried to prop himself up, but after struggling twice in pain, he couldn't get up and collapsed to the ground, panting.

"Maybe someone is trying to frame my friend!" Wenjie glanced at Bai Yu.

“Yes! It’s a setup!” Bai Yu chimed in.

He immediately came over and offered Wenjie a cigarette, took out a lighter, lit it with a click, and held the flame of the lighter in front of Wenjie's cigarette while covering it with his hand.

Wenjie exhaled smoke and looked at Bai Yu. Under his gaze, Bai Yu smiled slightly, revealing a dimple on his left cheek.

Does Bai Yu have dimples?

It seems like this is the first time I've met Wenjie.

However, Bai Yu, with that smile, appears enthusiastic, warm, and kind. He seems unlikely to do anything underhanded or despicable.

"It might be a fabricated video. There are many ways to frame someone; you've been used!"

Wenjie became more and more certain as he spoke, and Bai Yu nodded repeatedly, looking as if he was convinced that someone had framed him.

"Yes, who framed me! Give me that knife, let me find out who it was, and I'll tear them to pieces!"

Bai Yu then took the knife from Wen Jie's hand.

After handing the knife to Bai Yu, Wenjie stepped forward and helped the man in black up from the ground: "The truth is out. It was all a misunderstanding. I was a little too rough just now. Please forgive me!"

The man in black stared blankly as the two of them spoke in perfect harmony, their words flowing smoothly and logically.

For a time, no loopholes could be found.

But the video was still there before I left home? How could it just disappear into thin air? Could it really be that someone with ulterior motives tampered with the video, added some kind of virus, and then made it self-immolate after viewing?

"Dude, I still don't know what to call you?" Wenjie said, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and offering it to the man.

"Zhang Xiaojun," the man said, giving his name.

"Brother Zhang, we can see you're a law-abiding citizen. Don't let anyone take advantage of you and cause you to commit murder in a moment of impulse," Bai Yu said, lighting a cigarette for Zhang Xiaojun and quickly trying to persuade him while he was distracted and confused.

"Murder is a serious crime! It carries the death penalty. What will happen to your parents if you die? Have you thought about that?"

"Zhang Xiaojun stared blankly at the lit cigarette in his left hand, and Wenjie and Bai Yu exchanged a glance."

At this moment, Bai Yu's friend drove to the underground parking lot, and Wen Jie instructed them to take Zhang Xiaojun to the hospital first.

Wenjie lied and said he needed to buy some more things, then sent Bai Yu and the others away.

Watching Bai Yu and his group drive their car out of the parking lot.

Exit System

A thought flashed through his mind, and he returned to his bedroom. He quickly turned on the light, found his notebook, and wrote down the winning lottery numbers.

He instinctively reached into his pocket, but found nothing.

Unless there's a bug in the system, nothing in the system can be taken out, such as the lottery ticket that was randomly selected at the shop owner's urging.

After thinking about Bai Yu's little action of deleting the video, he picked up a pen and wrote a sentence after the number: "Remind Bai Yu to stay away from Qianqian."

I stared at the sentence on the paper again and again, then drew a thick, dark circle around it to highlight it.

Wenjie went back to bed and stretched comfortably.

Oh, and there should be rewards for the quiz questions too.

During the testing phase, the system is automatically triggered and will start up no later than six hours later!

Wenjie felt he had completed the task perfectly, though he didn't know what the reward would be.

The thought of those lottery numbers made him grin from ear to ear in the darkness!
