However, on this night, apart from Shu Yao and Qing Si Huai, no one else appeared.
Meng Jing Wei did not eagerly anticipate Qing Mu Ye's arrival, yet when he did not show up, she felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.
After spending the entire morning in the detention room, someone else came to visit her.
Meng Jing Wei looked up and was surprised to find that the person standing at the door of the detention room was none other than… Li Yun Er.
Seeing Li Yun Er at the door, a few thugs couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.
"That woman looks exactly like her."
"So incredibly beautiful."
"I remember, I've seen them on television."
"How is that possible?"
"It's true. The one outside is the daughter of the Li Corporation, and this one in front seems to be the daughter abandoned by the Li family."
...
Upon hearing this, the slow-witted thug was surrounded by his brothers and beaten.
"You scoundrel, you knew who she was, why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You almost got me killed."
"If this continues, I'll lose my life."
"Damn it, it's the Li family, that's terrifying."
...
After dealing with their own brother, the thugs quickly apologized to Meng Jing Wei, "Fairy sister, we're sorry, we were blind yesterday and offended you."
"Heroine, spare us. My name is Wang Gou Zi, from now on, if you need anything, just say the word, and I'll go through fire and water without hesitation."
"Hehehe, yes, my name is Er Bing, as in the 'two of spades' in Mahjong. You can find me if you need anything too."
The group had been under Meng Jing Wei's sharp gaze all night, feeling sleepy but daring not to speak out.
Their current fawning approach, however, made Meng Jing Wei feel amused to the point of tears.
She cast a cold glance at the people in front of her, "Get out of the way."
Saying that, she stood up and walked to the bars of the detention room. Looking at Li Yun Er standing outside the iron bars, she was still exquisitely made up, dignified and elegant, her every move exuding the demeanor of a wealthy young lady.
"Something wrong?"
She leaned against the wall with her arms crossed and asked indifferently.
Li Yun Er, carrying a handbag, glanced at Meng Jing Wei and slowly lowered her head with a smile, "I already warned you yesterday to be careful."
"So, yesterday at the wedding, was the attack carried out by someone you know, or by you?"
"Neither."
Li Yun Er shook her head, "It was just a guess."
"Guess? Since Miss Li guesses so accurately, why not guess the winning numbers for tomorrow's lottery, so I can buy a few tickets and win big."
Meng Jing Wei knew that Li Yun Er's words were not entirely truthful, and she did not believe them.
In fact, she felt that Li Yun Er's inexplicable appearance downstairs at her apartment building that day was highly suspicious.
"I can only say that your luck was not good."
"What do you mean?"
Meng Jing Wei demanded.
"Wang Kun's bride, Li Li Li, was the object of affection of Chu Xue's uncle, Li De Zhi. He had been pursuing Li Li Li, but she, finding Li De Zhi's family background inferior to Wang Kun's, dumped him. Because of this, Li De Zhi harbored a desire for revenge, which is why he acted that way at the wedding."
After careful consideration, Li Yun Er revealed what she knew.
Upon hearing this, Meng Jing Wei's brows furrowed slightly, she was half-believing her words.
If things were truly as simple as Li Yun Er described, Qing Si Huai would have investigated and found out long ago.
However, just as Meng Jing Wei was thinking this, she happened to see Shu Yao and Qing Si Huai walking towards them.
"Hahaha, Wei Wei, you're fine, you can finally get out."
Shu Yao ran over with a joyous expression. Seeing Li Yun Er standing nearby, she couldn't help but ask, "You, why are you here?"
As she spoke, she looked at Meng Jing Wei, seemingly awaiting her reply.
However, Meng Jing Wei also didn't know Li Yun Er's purpose for frequently seeking her out, so she could only shrug helplessly.
Qing Si Huai saw Li Yun Er, and they exchanged a look, their expressions unreadable.
"Mr. Qing."
In front of outsiders, Li Yun Er maintained a certain distance from Qing Si Huai, even deliberately changing her mode of address.
Qing Si Huai smiled and said to Meng Jing Wei, "Little girl, thanks to Miss Li's help in providing information today, I was able to quickly investigate the truth and the outcome. The suspect has been arrested, and you can be released now."
As soon as he finished speaking, the police also approached, opened the door of the detention room, and gestured for Meng Jing Wei to come out.
She walked out with them and met someone head-on.
The person stared at Meng Jing Wei with sinister eyes, and Meng Jing Wei did not recognize him.
At this moment, she heard Li Yun Er say beside her, "He is Li De Zhi."
"Since he is Chu Xue's uncle, why aren't the Chu family members dealing with him?" Meng Jing Wei looked back at the man being taken away by the police. He was emaciated, with hollowed-out eyes, looking as if he had used drugs.
"He's someone who can't be brought to the table; the Chu family had already severed ties with him," Qing Si Huai replied.
"Alright, Wei Wei, since you're okay, let's hurry back. Staying in a place like this for too long brings bad luck."
After completing a series of procedures in the police station lobby, Meng Jing Wei finally left the police station.
Standing at the entrance of the police station, Li Yun Er walked up to Meng Jing Wei and asked again, "Are you sure you don't want to come together?"
She was referring to the birthday that day.
To be honest, this was the first time Meng Jing Wei truly knew her actual birthday.
Previously, her adoptive mother had used the date of her adoption as her birthday, so she didn't know her actual birth date.
"There's no need."
Meng Jing Wei said coldly, then turned and got into Qing Si Huai's car.
Qing Si Huai bid farewell to Li Yun Er and drove away.
On the road, Shu Yao sat beside Meng Jing Wei, chattering non-stop, but Meng Jing Wei was preoccupied and didn't pay attention to Shu Yao's words.
"Seventh Uncle, send me to Encounter Wedding Planning first," Meng Jing Wei suggested.
"Little girl, I suggest you rest for a few days."
Qing Si Huai, who was driving, glanced at Meng Jing Wei through the rearview mirror.
With a meaningful remark, Meng Jing Wei immediately understood his intention.
"Yes, yes. Look, you haven't had a good rest all day. Let's go back, take a shower, and wash away the bad luck," Shu Yao also chimed in.
Meng Jing Wei, having a general idea of the situation, finally said, "I'll listen to you both. Send me back to the apartment."
She told Qing Si Huai her apartment address. Upon arrival, she declined the company of Qing Si Huai and Shu Yao, stating she would thank them properly later but was too tired and wanted to go home to sleep.
Shu Yao and Qing Si Huai waved goodbye to her and drove away.
Meng Jing Wei returned home, washed up, and standing before the makeup mirror, reapplied her makeup. She then changed into a neutral jumpsuit and put on a baseball cap.
In the mirror, wearing black-rimmed glasses and sporting a small mustache, she looked no different from a man and would not be easily detected.
