Chapter 285 - 285 205 Is it a coincidence_2
?Chapter 285: Chapter 205: Is it a coincidence?_2 Chapter 285: Chapter 205: Is it a coincidence?_2 “Here. I never got the chance to properly thank you earlier. You saved us, and I’m truly grateful,”
As she spoke, Wenyan pulled Shen Jingchuan over and they both bowed deeply to the man.
But the man never made eye contact with Wenyan, just murmured a faint “Thank you”.
Feeling very uncomfortable being forced to bow to someone else, Shen Jingchuan bent forward and lowered his voice into Wenyan’s ear:
“Could you discuss it with me before making such a move next time? I’ve never done anything like this before.”
Wenyan smiled at him, “There’s a first time for everything!”
At this time, the Patrolman also joined in the commotion, “And me too, I’m also your savior. You should thank me as well. I risked my life to lure those two thugs away.”
“Oh yes, you too! Thank you so much.”
While speaking, Wenyan also gave the Patrolman a bow.
But this time, Shen Jingchuan refused to bow to the Patrolman no matter what. This person, just looking at him, didn’t seem very upright.
Still, since the man had indeed saved him, it was possible to say thank you, and perhaps to assist him financially later on, after which there would be no need to interact any further.
With Wenyan and Shen Jingchuan responding very differently, the Patrolman knew that Jingchuan wasn’t easy to get along with, so naturally, he wouldn’t press his luck.
He chose to approach Wenyan to talk.
“What’s the relationship between you two? It seems like he listens to you quite a bit.”
Wenyan: “…Uncle, that question is a bit out of line. I don’t even know how to answer you, so I won’t.”
The Patrolman ‘tsked’: “Isn’t that the same as not saying anything?”
“…” Shen Jingchuan shot the Patrolman a cold look, his temper flaring up instantly.
He stepped forward to stand between the Patrolman and Wenyan: “We’ve already said you’re out of line, so why keep asking? You have no sense of boundaries. Are we that familiar?… Let’s go, we don’t need to pay him any attention.”
Shen Jingchuan pulled Wenyan away, while the Patrolman stared at the wound on her lower back.
The police officer following behind also felt that the Patrolman lacked tact and patted him on the shoulder.
“What are you looking at? Let’s move, the sooner you finish, the sooner you can rest.”
“Ah!” The Patrolman immediately nodded, “Yes yes, let’s go.”
The group was led into a room resembling a conference room.
In the midst of police questioning, Wenyan learned the Patrolman and the disfigured man’s names.
It turned out the Patrolman was telling the truth back in his little tin hut.
It was indeed a coincidence; his name was Wen Chengcai.
As for the disfigured man, instead of a name, it seemed more like a code name.
He said everyone called him “Third Brother”.
He didn’t reveal even a surname.
Even more strangely, the police officers didn’t pursue the matter further upon hearing this nickname.
In Wenyan’s memory, police officers would earnestly ask the gender of the person sitting opposite them and would insist that the individual answer seriously and respectfully, even if it was obviously a man.
But upon reflection, it seemed that was part of the interrogation process, and this was at most an inquiry.
After clarifying the cause, course of events, and the suspects, the police officers had the four of them go separately to identify the two captured criminals.
Wenyan was the first to go in, followed by Shen Jingchuan.
As Wenyan waited outside for Shen Jingchuan, she saw the Third Brother shaking hands with a policeman in uniform, with graying hair. They seemed to be old acquaintances.
Although Wenyan didn’t recognize the policeman, she did recognize the insignia on his uniform; it certainly denoted someone of a chief or director level.
He appeared quite courteous to Third Brother. Could it be that Third Brother had an important identity?
However, Wenyan didn’t plan to delve any deeper into it, as whatever background Third Brother had was irrelevant to her.
After a short while, Shen Jingchuan came out, and Wenyan exchanged a few words with him.
When she looked back in the direction they had come, she noticed that both Third Brother and the policeman had disappeared.
“What’s up, what are you looking at?” Shen Jingchuan asked Wenyan.
“Nothing.” Wenyan shook her head, “After all this, I’m suddenly so hungry. How about you? Are you hungry?”
“I’m alright, I’ll take you out for something delicious once we leave.”
“Is there even a place open 24 hours in this cold weather?”
“Then let’s go home and eat. I’ll cook something special for you myself.”
“What can you make? Can I choose the dish?”
“No, you can’t!”
“Why not?”
“Because, I can only make one dish.”
“…” Wenyan frowned, “It wouldn’t happen to be instant noodles, would it?”
