Video recording time: three days ago.
Central District Evolver Specialist Hospital, 8:36pm.
Several figures suddenly appeared in front of the hospital gate as if they had descended from nowhere. Then, the tall figure in black at the head turned around and waved to the surveillance camera above with a smile.
With a click, Shen Zhuo pressed the pause button and zoomed in.
Rong Qi's face was very clear on the computer screen, his eyebrows were dark and his eyes were soft; the severe injury on his chest caused by Shen Zhuo's heart being torn out alive had completely disappeared, and his eyes seemed to be looking through the surveillance camera, staring at the person behind the screen with a smile.
Shen Zhuo turned off the computer without saying a word.
It was still two hours before the flight to City B, and the cabin floor was shaking slightly underfoot. Shen Zhuo stood up and went to the bar to pour a glass of Black Label. The ice cubes in the amber liquor made a slight sound.
He took a sip, one hand in the pocket of his black trousers, his brows were cold and deep, the clouds outside the window of the special plane were reflected in his pupils, and Yue Yang's voice in the office last night rang in his ears again:
"—The surveillance is incomplete for unknown reasons, and the guard on duty that night also lost some of his memory. It should be caused by Rong Qi's ability. Now we want to know what Rong Qi did in Su Jiqiao's ward. We can only ask you to come to the central area and use the power of the Itardo Witch to replay the scene."
"Also... there is one more thing."
Yue Yang took a breath, his tone somewhat dry:
"You said before that three years ago, Fu Chen and Su Jiqiao might have asked for leave separately and then traveled together privately. I thought it was impossible at the time, but later I asked Su Jiqiao's men to verify it..."
"I discovered that this was indeed the case because Su Jiqiao asked Fu Chen for help."
"-Help?" At that time, Bai Sheng was sitting at the desk with his legs crossed. Hearing this, he stretched his head to block Yue Yang's view of Shen Zhuo: "What can I help you with?"
"Su Jiqiao said that a relative in his hometown was critically ill, so he asked for leave to go back and visit him. A day later, he called back and said that he was an orphan and young and inexperienced, so he asked Senior Fu to take leave to go over and help him take care of the situation."
Yue Yang also seemed to feel something was wrong. He paused before saying, "He said... because in his heart, Senior Fu is very capable and reliable, like... a brother."
"Pfft—" Bai Sheng almost burst out laughing, but fortunately he held it back immediately.
Shen Zhuo was extremely tolerant of Bai Sheng's abnormal behavior. In other words, he pretended not to see anything. He frowned and asked Yue Yang, "Did many people know about this incident back then?"
"Very rarely, almost never." Yue Yang frowned in confusion, "Because at the time Su Jiqiao said that he felt that Director Shen had never liked him very much, and he was afraid that Director Shen would misunderstand and put Senior Fu in a dilemma after knowing it. So please don't tell others about Senior Fu's help. Only a few people knew that the two of them asked for leave to go out alone that year."
Shen Zhuo did not comment, "Where is Su Jiqiao's hometown?"
"It's near Quanshan County."
"Is Rong Qi really his relative?"
"Not at all. We have checked." Yue Yang said, "Su Jiqiao lost both his parents when he was young, and there is no one with the surname Rong on either side of his family. Rong Qi's identity, origin, illness, and household registration are also completely untraceable. It can be said that there is no connection between the two."
