"Old Ma, you should head back. I'll go back with my sister," Wan Yunting said at the police station's main entrance, knowing his elder sister would have questions for him.
"Alright, tell me first thing tomorrow if anything comes up." Ma Zhendong nodded and drove away.
Wan Yunting sat in the passenger seat as Wan Manyu drove. She glanced at him, "Yunting, was it you who asked Kang Hongwen to bankrupt Zi Qiang Financial Group?"
"No," Wan Yunting replied, shaking his head.
Wan Manyu frowned. "So, you only beat up the Shen father and son, but didn't do anything else?"
Wan Yunting nodded. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be out of the police station now."
"That's good."
Hearing this, Wan Manyu relaxed. She had been extremely worried. She had even called Cheng Kai hoping he could help her third brother, but that scoundrel was probably spending the night with some starlet again and his phone was unreachable.
"Third brother, don't be so impulsive in the future. I really don't want to see you sent back to prison!" Wan Manyu glanced at him and said seriously.
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Sister, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I never do anything I'm not sure about!"
"Mm, I hope you mean what you say."
Wan Manyu nodded. She didn't want to say too much, knowing Wan Yunting wasn't the same college student he used to be.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Southern Hospital.
Wan Yunting scratched his head, realizing he had forgotten to tell his sister that he had moved out of the hospital.
"Yunting, go back and rest early."
"Okay, sister. You go back quickly."
Wan Yunting nodded, got out of the car without saying more, and Wan Manyu nodded before driving away.
After the car disappeared from sight, Wan Yunting prepared to hail a taxi back. However, it was already three in the morning, and there were no taxis in sight. He had no choice but to take out his phone and call for a Didi ride back to Jin Xiuwen's place.
Then, he saw over a hundred missed calls on his phone, all from Su Ke'er! There were also over a hundred WeChat messages. He opened WeChat and saw that they were all Su Ke'er asking, "Brother Yunting, where did you go? Why aren't you replying to me?"
"Where did you go? Come back quickly, Ke'er misses you so much..."
"Wuwuwu, I was wrong, Brother Yunting, please come back, okay..."
Seeing these messages, Wan Yunting was stunned, and countless question marks appeared on his forehead. He had no idea what was going on with that girl. So, he replied with a string of question marks.
Su Ke'er, who was in her hospital dormitory room, had her phone by her pillow. As soon as the WeChat notification sounded, her dark panda eyes immediately opened. Excitedly, she picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Wan Yunting. Su Ke'er let out an excited scream, "Ah..."
Wan Yunting, who was at the hospital entrance, could even hear the scream. Thinking Su Ke'er was in danger, he immediately ran towards the dormitory building, calling her, "Ke'er, I heard you scream. What happened?"
"Brother Yunting, you're back, are you back?"
Su Ke'er opened her room door. With such a commotion, everyone in the entire dormitory building was woken up by her scream. Wan Yunting, standing below the dormitory building, saw the figure leaning over the railing on the third floor. It was Su Ke'er. She also saw Wan Yunting below. Su Ke'er, too excited to even put on her shoes, ran down.
"Brother Yunting..."
Her petite body, before Wan Yunting could react, threw herself into his arms, hugging his waist tightly, "Wuwuwu, you're finally willing to talk to me..."
Wan Yunting was dumbfounded. At this moment, lights were turning on one by one in the dormitory rooms. Nurses and doctors who heard the commotion came out and looked at the two figures embracing below. The entire dormitory building was now buzzing.
Wan Yunting, completely confused, pulled away the clinging Su Ke'er. "Ke'er, what happened?"
Su Ke'er, with tears streaming down her face, looked wronged, pouting her small lips and sobbing pitifully, "Brother Yunting, don't ignore me in the future, okay?"
Seemingly understanding, Wan Yunting's face was filled with apology and a wry smile. "Sorry, my phone was out of service yesterday. I only found out today, which must have worried you."
Su Ke'er was taken aback and wiped away her tears. "You're not ignoring me because you're angry with them?"
"Angry? What am I angry about?"
"Them!" Su Ke'er pointed her small finger upwards at the dormitory building, at the hospital staff peeking from the railings.
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled. "No, my phone was deactivated due to being out of credit, so I didn't receive your calls or WeChat messages."
"Phew, so you weren't angry with me."
Now Su Ke'er understood and became happy. She had always thought Wan Yunting was ignoring her because he was angry.
The next second, Su Ke'er's small mouth pouted, her big eyes stared at him gloomily, and she crossed her arms, huffing. "Brother Yunting, why didn't you top up your phone in time? Do you know that I thought you were angry and deliberately ignoring me? I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly these past two days, and I've got dark circles under my eyes."
Looking at the faint dark circles under her eyes, Wan Yunting chuckled. "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'll make sure to top up my phone on time in the future."
"No, I'll top it up for you now..."
As she spoke, Su Ke'er took out her phone and opened Alipay. "I'll top up ten thousand yuan for your phone bill, so you won't be disconnected for being out of credit anymore..."
"Wait..." Wan Yunting quickly stopped her, amused.
"I'm back now, you should go up and rest," Wan Yunting said, sensing Su Ke'er's feelings, which made him feel a bit embarrassed.
"Then what about you?" Su Ke'er held his arm. "Where are you staying now?"
"I'm staying at my friend Jin Xiuwen's place. I'll find an apartment to rent nearby when I have time," Wan Yunting replied.
"Okay, when you go look for a place, I'll go with you."
Su Ke'er was happy now, knowing that Wan Yunting wasn't deliberately ignoring her out of anger. Wan Yunting nodded and then said, "Then you go up and rest quickly. I have to go back."
"No, I'm hungry now. I want to eat supper," Su Ke'er said again, holding his arm and pouting adorably.
"It's almost four o'clock, where can we find supper?"
"We can, I'll take you." Su Ke'er was delighted and was about to lead Wan Yunting out when she realized she wasn't wearing shoes. Wan Yunting chuckled helplessly. She then went upstairs to put on her slippers, and the two left the hospital. They found a 24-hour supper shop, enjoyed their meal, and returned to the hospital at five in the morning.
Now Wan Yunting didn't need to return to Jin Xiuwen's place. He simply went to the backyard of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department to meditate and absorb energy, waiting to start work when dawn broke.
At eight in the morning.
Huadu Economic News broke the story, reporting the overnight collapse and bankruptcy of Zi Qiang Financial Group. The chairman, Shen Ziqiang, suffered a mental breakdown due to the shock and was currently receiving treatment in the hospital... The news instantly sent shockwaves through the business circles of Huadu.
"How is that possible?" In the dining room of the Wang family villa, Wang Anrong, who had just woken up, was eating breakfast when he saw the news report, his eyes wide with disbelief. The news then revealed that a mysterious man had trespassed into Zi Qiang Financial Group at night and injured the Shen father and son... The news photos showed a blurred figure, and upon closer inspection, one could recognize Wan Yunting. However, Pang Yuan had issued an order last night to block any news leaks about Wan Yunting and not to release any front-facing photos. This had cast a vague aura over the Zi Qiang Financial Group incident.
However, the Huadu Industrial and Commercial Criminal Investigation department soon responded, reporting that Zi Qiang Financial Group was suspected of illegal financing in several overseas investment projects, constituting a crime! This made the magnates in the business world exclaim... If that was the case, then the attack on Zi Qiang Financial Group's domestic and overseas stocks by a mysterious organization, leading to its stock market collapse and bankruptcy, might have been the work of the United States!
Wang Anrong and some others breathed a sigh of relief. They had all assumed that the bankruptcy of Zi Qiang Financial Group was also related to Wan Yunting! But then, they thought, how could he, a convicted rapist who had just been released from prison, be connected to an overseas mysterious organization? After all, it took less than half an hour to cause a second-tier group in Huadu to experience a stock market collapse and bankruptcy. Such terrifying financial strength and methods were not something just anyone could achieve...
