Soul Patch

Chapter 71 For Wenjie

Who is this person?

The colleague who was with Bai Yu today.

After logging into the game interface, Jia Nan sent a message to the black skull.

During this time period, the other party will almost always be online.

Jia Nan glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen; it was just before 8 p.m.

Sure enough, the black skull lit up and swayed back and forth.

The other party sent me a document marked 2019.6.27.

Jia Nan didn't save the file; she simply opened it and glanced at the photo.

"You don't need to send any more. Just give me the information about the person I just mentioned."

"What? Your tastes have changed?"

The black skull spews out pink bubble speech bubbles.

At first glance, it seems like the two people are discussing food, but it also seems like they are discussing women.

The black skull knew exactly what the other party was doing. Whenever someone provided matching information, within three months, that person would meet a violent end.

This is the line of work they do, and they receive high salaries in return.

He generally doesn't talk nonsense, and he certainly doesn't ask any extra questions—that's standard practice.

In fact, industry rules are not meant to restrict anything, but to save your life.

But today seems to be the last conversation for the collaboration, and he's a little curious.

Soon, he quietly hacked into the road network surveillance near the headquarters that afternoon and collected the physical characteristics and facial information of the young man who got out of the Tesla when it braked suddenly, nearly causing a car accident.

Further investigation was conducted into the General Administration's internal management system.

This government department has a well-established personnel management system. It keeps records of the person's basic information, performance evaluations, and all kinds of reports submitted.

The electronic file even records major events in his education, starting from when he joined the Communist Youth League in the first year of junior high school:

Application for Party membership, various awards and commendations, and even a job recommendation letter from M University's departments.

After organizing the information, he quickly sent it to the cartoon girl in the game whose avatar was riding a broomstick.

As far as I can remember, this is a character from a Japanese manga by Hayao Miyazaki.

Miyazaki's comics are delicate and gentle, so most people who like his comics are lonely at heart.

Who cares what kind of person he is, as long as he pays the money.

After sending the file, Jia Nan saw the skull icon go offline. When she checked her friend list on her profile page, she found that the other person's status had changed to "pending verification".

The other person deleted him.

He likes to work with people like that; it's simple, efficient, and safe.

He turned on the surveillance camera and saw An Ran cleaning on the first floor. After turning off the camera, he moved the mouse over the file that had just been sent to him.

My palms were sweating again as I held the mouse.

As if under the bright sun, he felt dizzy again, and sweat streamed down his face.

Along with the sweat came tears.

He looked down and noticed that something had dripped onto the keyboard again.

One drop after another.

The feeling of being devoured by loneliness while walking on a bustling street became incredibly clear.

He opened the file with trembling hands.

Previously, every time I opened a file, I felt an irrepressible excitement, but this time I was afraid.

He both looked forward to this moment and resisted its arrival.

The document arrived quickly.

A young boy smiled at him through the screen, a smile he recognized.

Yes, it was him.

As Jia Nan scrolled the mouse, she looked at the name field.

Wenjie!

His name was Wenjie.

He was completely absorbed in looking at Wenjie's information: age: 24, a 19 graduate of M University's Social Sciences program.

24 years old?

impossible?

How did he do that?

This Wenjie must be hiding some secret!

The enigmatic Wenjie.

Jia Nan suddenly became interested in Wen Jie's secret, even more so than in Wen Jie himself.

Regarding Wenjie's information, the black skull added a note: Yang Shanshan.

This name sounds familiar; I think I've heard Huang Weiwei mention it before, either when she climbed Mount Tai or sometime in the past, but I can't quite remember.

Jia Nan didn't want to owe anyone any favors, so she compensated Huang Weiwei for the money she had lost in another way.

It's best to prevent things like what happened to Cheng Xiaohui from happening again.

A girl whose youth, passion, and dreams are all dead is now just a walking corpse. What is she incapable of doing?

He took out his phone and sent Huang Weiwei a message: "What are you doing?"

The other party quickly replied with a unique emoji: Bored.

Jia Nan completely ignored Huang Weiwei's emoji and said, "Let's invite your best friend over for a barbecue this weekend."

The other party sent: A foodie's exclusive emoji.

How many emojis did Huang Weiwei record for chatting? You can basically see cute or flirty emojis every time you send her a message.

Jia Nan continued typing, ignoring the emoji: "Then it's settled."

After hanging up the phone, Jia Nan walked to the French windows in the bedroom and looked downstairs.

Below his bedroom was an open courtyard with wicker chairs and a large parasol, connected to a large lawn.

Sitting in a wicker chair during the day, looking at the lawn and the swimming pool to the east of the lawn, is quite pleasant.

At night, however, all that could be seen was a pile of furniture scattered in the pitch black, making it impossible to discern any scenery.

Are you planning a BBQ party at your villa?

Jia Nan was somewhat reluctant.

He hates crowds, and with a boisterous girl like Huang Weiwei around, no matter how big the place is, it's not enough for her to make a ruckus.

For Wenjie's sake, he had to endure it!

……

June 27, 2019, 8:00 PM, Huang Weiwei's home in Jinjiang International Community.

Huang Weiwei immediately called Yang Shanshan.

Yang Shanshan was applying a face mask when she heard the phone ring and immediately pressed the speakerphone button.

"Shanshan, let's go out and have some fun this weekend. Call Wenjie too."

Yang Shanshan didn't dare to open her mouth wide to speak, afraid that the face mask would cause wrinkles, so she pursed her lips and said softly, "Where are we going? Do we still need to call Wenjie?"

"Haha, Jia Nan invited me to a barbecue. Barbecues are so boring for just the two of us, so he told me to invite my best friend too."

Huang Weiwei smiled mysteriously, cleared her throat, and continued:

"Well, we can't let you be a third wheel, so why don't you invite Wenjie along? Four people, two couples, that's perfect. It'll also help strengthen your relationship with Wenjie!"

"Okay... Wenjie sometimes has to work overtime at night, I'll call him later!"

As Huang Weiwei spoke, she added hesitantly, "I'll ask him, but I'm not sure if he'll participate."

"Yang Shanshan, you're such a coward! Today, Jia Nan took me out to eat on his motorcycle, and as soon as I got off, I kissed him," Huang Weiwei said smugly.

They really are capable of anything! Upon hearing this explosive news, Yang Shanshan threw down her face mask and abruptly stood up: "And then?"

"Then he kissed me back!"

Huang Weiwei deliberately sighed:

"Yang Shanshan, you and Wenjie are probably going to drag this out forever! I'm so envious of your noble, Platonic love..."

"Weiwei, are you trying to make fun of me?"

"Haha, how could I dare? Don't forget the barbecue this weekend!"

After hanging up the phone, Huang Weiwei sat in front of her laptop and enthusiastically checked out the travel guide.

At 22:16 PM, Yang Shanshan called Huang Weiwei again.

When Huang Weiwei answered the phone, she realized that she had been searching for more than two hours.

"Weiwei, I'm not happy... Wenjie is a scumbag, a deadbeat scumbag."

"It's nothing, Wenjie must be busy. We can talk things out when he's not busy."

Huang Weiwei was still basking in the joy of her breakthrough in her relationship with Jia Nan, so she casually comforted Yang Shanshan for a few moments before hanging up the phone.

I can't wait for the weekend barbecue!
