Lele Mini Mart.
"Honey, who are these people?"
He Yulan came out, and only then did Feng Le'an snap back to attention. He pointed to Wan Yunting and Jin Xiuwen and introduced them to his wife: "They are my university classmates."
"Classmates, huh."
He Yulan became enthusiastic because she had never met Feng Le'an's university classmates before.
"Not bad, Feng Le'an, your wife is really beautiful."
Jin Xiuwen praised, and Wan Yunting also smiled and nodded politely at He Yulan.
"You guys haven't eaten yet, right? I'm so sorry. If I had known you were coming, I would have bought more dishes." He Yulan said with an apologetic look, then turned to Feng Le'an and said: "Honey, take your classmates in to eat first, and I'll go buy some cooked food."
"Sister-in-law, no need to be so polite..."
"It's fine, I'll be back soon..."
Saying that, He Yulan took her phone and went out with a smile.
"So virtuous."
Jin Xiuwen said with admiration, and Wan Yunting smiled and nodded. Then he turned to look at Feng Le'an, his expression extremely unnatural. "Le'an, we came by suddenly, did we disturb you?"
Feng Le'an gave a dry laugh: "It's fine, you guys go in and sit down first. My wife will buy some cooked food when she gets back, and we'll eat together..."
So Wan Yunting and Jin Xiuwen went inside and saw Feng Le'an's daughter sitting on a stool eating. The little girl also very cutely called out "Uncle" to the two of them.
This made Jin Xiuwen envious, and he vowed to get married and have children when he went back.
The three big men sat awkwardly for a while. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao kept talking, which prevented the atmosphere from being too awkward.
Soon, He Yulan bought the cooked food back and invited Wan Yunting and Jin Xiuwen to eat. Feng Le'an took out the beer, and after the three men drank a few cups, they started chatting about their college days.
After the meal, Jin Xiuwen suggested going out to find a place to drink. Feng Le'an guessed Wan Yunting's intention, so he nodded, said hello to his wife, and took them out to the seaside to find a place to sit and continue drinking.
"Le'an, you must have guessed why we suddenly came to find you, right?" Wan Yunting held a beer bottle, clinked it with his, and said.
"Mm."
Feng Le'an nodded and drank his beer.
Jin Xiuwen put down the wine bottle, looked up at him, and said, "That bastard Huang Dawei took Chen Tao's bribe, drugged Old Wan behind his back, and then brought Zhang Li to the dorm to create a scene of rape!"
Feng Le'an lowered his head, "Are you asking me if I was also bribed by Chen Tao back then?"
Wan Yunting and Jin Xiuwen were stunned. They looked at each other and said, "Le'an, don't misunderstand, I don't suspect you were bought by Chen Tao..."
"No? Chen Tao never approached me!" Feng Le'an interrupted him and shook his head decisively.
This reaction made Wan Yunting raise an eyebrow. From Feng Le'an's subtle expression at this moment, he seemed to have sensed something!
"Chen Tao..."
Jin Xiuwen was about to say something when Wan Yunting raised his hand to stop him, signaling that there was no need to ask further. He apologized to Feng Le'an, "I'm sorry, Le'an. We disturbed you by coming so suddenly. I hope you don't mind."
"It's fine, we weren't that familiar with each other anyway. We were just classmates. I hope you'll visit often in the future." Feng Le'an looked up and said to them with a dry smile.
Wan Yunting nodded and stopped talking about this topic. After sitting for a while longer, the three of them got up and went back.
"You're leaving."
He Yulan came out to see them off. Jin Xiuwen smiled and said, "Yes, sister-in-law. It's getting late, and we have to drive back to work tomorrow."
"Is that so, *cough cough*..."
He Yulan coughed twice, then smiled warmly, "Then come visit us often in the future."
Wan Yunting noticed this detail, "Sister-in-law, have you been coughing like this often recently?"
He Yulan was momentarily stunned by the question and nodded, "Perhaps it's because autumn is setting in, and the weather is a bit dry. It's nothing, I'll be fine if I drink more water..."
"Mommy."
Xiaoxiao came out, tugged He Yulan's arm, "There's a question I don't understand. Can you come in and teach me?"
"Okay."
He Yulan nodded, then said apologetically to Wan Yunting with a smile, "Then you guys come often in the future."
"Okay, sister-in-law."
Jin Xiuwen nodded. Wan Yunting frowned and watched He Yulan take Xiaoxiao inside. Perhaps he had misread the situation.
After driving for a while, Wan Yunting and Jin Xiuwen said nothing more, greeted Feng Le'an, and then got into the car to leave.
Watching them drive away, Feng Le'an's furrowed brow finally relaxed. He turned and went inside. He Yulan came out and looked at him, "Your university classmates came over, you're not happy?"
Feng Le'an shook his head, "I'm not very familiar with them, so I'm a bit unaccustomed to it."
He Yulan smiled, "If you contact them more and interact often, you'll become familiar with them."
But Feng Le'an sighed. The moment he saw Wan Yunting, his heart was filled with guilt and unease.
He Yulan was about to say something more when she was suddenly overcome by dizziness, causing her to fall to the ground. Feng Le'an was startled and panicked, "Wife, wife, what's wrong? Don't scare me..."
"Mommy, *sob sob*..."
Xiaoxiao came out, saw this scene, and also started crying in fright. The anxious Feng Le'an took out his phone and quickly dialed 120...
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Wan Yunting and Jin Xiuwen planned to stay for one night and return the next morning, as driving continuously was too tiring.
"Old Wan, are you sure Feng Le'an was unaware?"
Jin Xiuwen rested his hands behind his head, turned to look at Wan Yunting, who was fiddling with his phone on the bed beside him, and shook his head, saying, "It's hard to say!"
Jin Xiuwen was startled and exclaimed, "You mean Feng Le'an wasn't telling the truth!"
"Mm."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "In prison, I learned micro-expressions from a police officer. From the moment we went to find Feng Le'an, when he saw us, he had an expression of unease and apprehension. He was very nervous, especially when he spoke. He never dared to meet my eyes, which shows he was guilty!"
"So, Feng Le'an was definitely bribed by Chen Tao and then threatened by him, which is why he didn't dare to tell us the truth!" Jin Xiuwen, who had instantly understood, stood up excitedly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find him now."
But Wan Yunting shook his head and waved his hand, "That guy, back in school, he always preferred to be alone. He was a bit of a loner. If we push him too hard, he'll get angry with us, and then there will be even less hope in the future."
"Then what should we do?" Jin Xiuwen's eyes widened.
Wan Yunting smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go back and think of a way to pry the truth out of him, and then come back to try again."
"That's the only way."
Jin Xiuwen nodded and sighed, then lay down on the big bed. He then smiled and said, "But Old Wan, it seems you've learned a lot during your few years in prison, even micro-expressions."
Wan Yunting glanced back at him and smiled, "Do you really think prisons are all about fighting and killing like in those Hong Kong movies? Our domestic prisons are called reformatories! They not only have libraries but also allow you to go to college. I got my economics degree certificate while I was inside."
"Wow, impressive."
Jin Xiuwen's eyes were opened. He was about to say more when Wan Yunting asked, holding his phone, "My phone has no internet. Can you help me see what's wrong with it?"
Jin Xiuwen took it and checked, then immediately rolled his eyes at him, "It's overdue. No wonder there's no internet."
"Okay, then can you top up my phone bill with a hundred yuan?" Wan Yunting said helplessly, as he didn't handle this phone much.
Jin Xiuwen topped up his phone bill with a few hundred yuan. After the phone was restored, hundreds of missed calls immediately appeared, which shocked Wan Yunting. They were all from Su Ke'er.
Seeing over thirty missed calls recently from his eldest sister and second brother, Wan Yunting frowned, unsure what they wanted to talk to him about.
So he called his eldest sister first. The call was connected immediately, and his eldest sister's urgent voice came through: "Third brother, where have you been? Why can't I get through to your phone?"
"Sorry, sister. My phone was overdue. I just topped up the phone bill, and I'm out of town now." Wan Yunting said apologetically, then asked, "Sister, did something happen?"
Wan Manyu, who was in the hospital room at the time, looked at her second brother, Wan Dongming, lying on the hospital bed with his hands wrapped in bandages and in a coma. She said coldly into the phone to Wan Yunting, "Your second brother had his hands broken. He's lying in the hospital now!"
"What!"
Wan Yunting jumped to his feet, "How did second brother have his hands broken? Who did it?"
"Come back immediately." Wan Manyu was very angry, and her tone became harsher.
"Okay, sister, don't worry, I'll be right back."
Wan Yunting didn't know what had happened, but hearing that his second brother's hands were broken, he felt anxious. Without waiting for Jin Xiuwen to ask, he said, "We're going back to Huadu immediately."
"Okay, I'll find a designated driver..."
Jin Xiuwen immediately took out his phone to find a designated driver.
At this moment, Wan Yunting's eyes were terrifyingly cold. He didn't know who had broken his second brother's hands.
But no matter who the other party was, he would make them pay a bloody price!
