Soul Patch

Chapter 66 You Scumbag

Zhang Yang sobered up completely and stared blankly at Bai Yu lying in a pool of blood on the ground.

"What, what's going on? Who the hell is driving this car?"

He rushed to the sports car and saw a young man, looking rather dapper, trembling as he talked on the phone in the driver's seat.

Seemingly sensing that something was wrong, the young man turned his head and glanced towards the car door. When he saw Zhang Yang's fierce-looking face, he was so frightened that he dropped his phone.

"...What happened? Did you hit someone? Are they alright? Call the traffic police first, then call an ambulance... If they're already dead, you... you should just run away!"

Intermittent voices came through the phone; in front of Zhang Yang, the person on the other end was instructing him to run away.

Zhang Yang grabbed the young man by the collar and lifted him up.

He glanced awkwardly at his phone, then at the person who had been knocked down on the ground not far away, and then at Zhang Yang…

"You run, let me see!" Zhang Yang growled through gritted teeth.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare! Call an ambulance right away!"

"He's dead, and you ran over my buddy. Shouldn't you pay with your life?"

Zhang Yang roared, spitting all over the other person's face, who tilted his head to avoid it.

Upon seeing the system's notification, Wenjie felt a sense of despair creeping into his heart.

After solving the murder case, there's the car accident case; after solving the car accident case, who knows, there might be a suicide, drowning, or carbon monoxide poisoning case...

Is this damn system trying to kill him?

It's like that children's game of whack-a-mole. You hit one with a hammer, and another mole pops up, barking at you from a distance. You swing the hammer to hit that one, and another one pops up.

How could I possibly have time to solve them one by one? There's not much time left!

Who exactly did Sisi give the phone to?

It must have been the person who answered the phone who instructed the driver to come and hit them.

Thinking of this, Wenjie got up, pushed through the crowd, and rushed towards Zhang Yang.

The low pressure system pressed down on them all the way, and it seemed like Wenjie could stab this clueless driver to death right away.

Zhang Yang unconsciously loosened his grip on the young man's collar: "Wenjie, you... don't be impulsive!"

"Brother, spare me!" The young man was terrified; his pants got wet, and he actually urinated on the spot.

"Brother, I can tell you're a good person. Please put in a good word for me. Murder is illegal. Tell your friend not to..."

"Shut up!" Wenjie shoved the young man toward the sports car, whose windows weren't very high.

Because of his small stature, Wenjie's push was too strong, and he fell backward, tumbling into the car with his head stuck under the passenger seat.

Wenjie opened the car door and slowly moved his head closer to him:

"Tell me, who gave you permission to drive here and hit people? Give me your phone."

"No, nobody's here... Brother, I'm lost! I was guided here by GPS!"

The young man hunched his neck, struggling to breathe, and his face turned red after saying just a few words.

Wenjie opened his palm to him and beckoned with his finger: "Give it to me!"

"what?"

"Cellphone, are you fucking deaf?"

Wenjie also expected that the young man would not admit to premeditated murder; a charge of manslaughter would be much lighter than one of premeditated murder.

The young man tried to reach for his phone from under the car seat, but after several attempts, he couldn't reach it.

Wenjie looked in the direction where he had stretched out his arm, and there was indeed a cell phone on the car mat. He leaned over and picked it up.

The young man unlocked the door and immediately started checking his call logs, WeChat, and Gaode Maps.

No abnormalities were found.

It's been about half an hour since Sisi left the hotel, and there have been no call records, except for one call she made just now, which was after the accident.

Wenjie looked at the navigation on Gaode Map. The person was navigating to the Ginza Building in Dongcheng District, but the route seemed to be a bit roundabout.

Why didn't you take the loop road?

Wenjie pointed to the map, where the road conditions on the ring road were shown in green, indicating that there was no need to detour.

"I know, I know, I don't know! I have no sense of direction, I always follow the GPS when I come out!"

Wenjie thought for a moment, then opened his WeChat Moments and quickly browsed his posts.

Take out your phone and take pictures of your WeChat contacts, phone contacts, and photos from your camera.

At that moment, the traffic police arrived.

A traffic policeman in uniform saluted Wenjie, showed his identification, and then said sternly:

"Come out here! Who are you? Who gave you the right to interrogate the driver who caused the accident?"

"..."

Wenjie stood up, and Zhang Yang patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Zhang Yang understood that among the group of people in his college dorm, Bai Yu and the eldest brother came from well-off families, and they had a competitive mentality, with neither willing to concede to the other.

Therefore, Bai Yu is closer to Wen Jie, while he naturally gets along better with his boss.

Moreover, after graduation, Wenjie was recommended to the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and Bai Yu's family also used their connections to get him a job there. The two worked together for more than half a year, which deepened their friendship.

So when Bai Yu got into trouble, Wen Jie was heartbroken.

"Wenjie, the police will definitely give Bai Yu justice, so don't be too sad."

Zhang Yang spoke these words with a heavy nasal tone, which made Wenjie feel even more depressed.

He moved closer to a tree, lit a cigarette, and watched as Bai Yu was lifted onto a stretcher, covered with a white sheet, and carried away by two emergency doctors.

Criminal investigators also arrived. Several unfamiliar police officers were taking photos back and forth at the scene, gesturing and talking to the traffic police.

Wenjie felt like his head was about to explode. One tragic scene after another kept flashing before his eyes. When he lit a cigarette and wanted to take a puff, he found that it was only half burned.

The eldest brother walked over to him and exchanged a sharp retort.

Hearing a noise, the eldest brother reached into his pocket, but it wasn't his phone. So he pointed to Wenjie's pocket with the finger holding the cigarette.

Wenjie looked at his boss with a puzzled expression, not understanding what he meant.

"Your phone... has been ringing for ages."

"Oh, oh, I really didn't notice!" Wenjie took out his phone and glanced at the number.

It was Yang Shanshan's phone call.

A tender feeling welled up in Wenjie's heart. Yang Shanshan was sometimes really considerate and understood him very well.

He was feeling very upset and really wanted to hear her talk, even about trivial things in life.

Wenjie's gloomy expression softened as he answered the phone and gently said "Hello" into the receiver.

The boss noticed Wenjie's change in expression and snapped his fingers at Zhang Yang, signaling him to come over.

Zhang Yang came running over excitedly; sometimes it felt like Zhang Yang was really his little tagalong.

The eldest brother exchanged a glance with Zhang Yang, then pursed his lips at Wen Jie and said in a low voice:

"Wenjie is in love, did you know?"

Zhang Yang was initially surprised, but his surprise quickly turned into complete jealousy.

Among the group of people in the dormitory, his family background, academic performance, and other aspects were no match for them.

His only source of pride might be his ability to pick up girls; this is his weapon for mocking Wenjie.

Tried and tested!

Who can blame Wenjie for being a virgin for so long?

Now, even that advantage is gone, isn't it? Zhang Yang looked at Wenjie with a complicated expression:

Wenjie's tenderness was instantly extinguished.

Because Yang Shanshan coldly told Wenjie on the phone:

"Wenjie, I never thought you were this kind of person. I never want to see you again. You scumbag!"
