Chapter 287 - 287 206 More than Twenty Years Ago
?Chapter 287: Chapter 206: More than Twenty Years Ago Chapter 287: Chapter 206: More than Twenty Years Ago “That’s right!” Wenyan laughed, “I really should change the way I refer to him. And where is he? Why don’t I see him around now?”
“I don’t know either!” Chengcai looked around and said offhandedly, “Maybe he went to the toilet. You’ve got my number, that’s enough, no need to wait for him.”
Shen Jingchuan intended to do just that, as he immediately grabbed Wenyan’s arm and whispered in her ear.
“Anyway, we know where they live; we’ll just drive there to find them later. Let’s leave this place for today.”
Shen Jingchuan made sense, and after exchanging contact information with the police, they didn’t linger.
The director and Shen Jinghe each drove a car there.
Upon leaving the police station, the director said to Wenyan, “How about I give you a day off? Rest at home tomorrow and come back the day after to continue shooting.”
“I don’t think I need to rest for so long,” Wenyan thought for a moment and said, “How about I come in the afternoon tomorrow, and I can continue shooting at night. But now, I really do need to go back and sleep.”
The director nodded, “That’s fine. You ride with me, and I’ll take you home.”
“No need, just help me take He Xing back, I can go home by myself.”
“How can that be!” the director said with lingering fear, “It’s so late, you’re a young girl out there, and you’ve just been through that ordeal, I can’t have peace of mind.”
Before Wenyan could respond, Shen Jingchuan already arched one eyebrow and interjected, “She’s not alone, you know.”
“Oh right, right, right!” The director then remembered, Wenyan was already acquainted with the Shen siblings, and their relationship must be pretty good in private.
At that moment, Shen Jinghe also spoke up, “The two of them will ride with me, I’ll make sure they get back safely.”
“Then I’m relieved, He Xing, let’s head back to the hotel together.”
“Thanks for the trouble, Director,” Wenyan waved to the director, “I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow.”
Not until the director drove away did the three siblings get moving.
Shen Jinghe walked in front to lead the way.
When he got to his car, he opened the door to the back seat and gestured for Wenyan to get in from there.
After climbing into the car, Wenyan moved further inside to make room for Shen Jingchuan.
Shen Jingchuan was also about to climb in.
But as soon as he bent down, someone grabbed the collar of his shirt from behind.
“What are you doing, Shen Jinghe, are you sick in the head or what?”
Shen Jinghe pulled Shen Jingchuan back and closed the back door of the car with a swift motion.
“You sit in the front.”
“I won’t, the back is more spacious. What, playing chauffeur is going to kill you?”
Shen Jinghe’s face was utterly devoid of sympathy: “The back may be spacious, but it’s for Wenyan to sleep.”
WTF! Shen Jingchuan opened his mouth: “Fine, I guess that’s a valid reason.”
Wenyan: [Actually, I don’t feel particularly sleepy at this very moment, and can’t fall asleep anyway. But still, thanks to the two brothers, feeling moved.]
As soon as the car started, Shen Jinghe began speaking.
“Let’s have a class representative speak up, what exactly happened today?”
When Shen Jinghe initially received the frantic call from He Xing, he was so sleepy he jolted awake from his dream!
It was only when they entered the police station that he realized he had put on two left shoes.
Even more outrageous, after his bath, he was so tired he just lay down in his bathrobe, so when he got dressed to leave the house, he merely put on trousers without even putting on underwear in his rush.
Of course, whether it’s not wearing underwear or wearing the wrong shoes, this is something he wouldn’t let a second person besides himself know.
Wenyan, anyway, didn’t want to repeat the story, feeling mentally exhausted.
“Fourth Brother, you’re eloquent, you tell it,” she said.
Shen Jingchuan: “Thanks, that’s the first time in my life anyone’s complimented my eloquence.”
–
No sooner had Shen Jinghe’s car driven away than Chengcai and Third Brother came out from the police station.
Walking along, Chengcai grumbled, “It probably won’t be easy to hail a cab at this hour, and we’ll have to pay, too. Why did you refuse when the cop offered to drive us back? I haven’t slept all night.”
The voice of Third Brother was still as flat as ever, ragged and hoarse.
“Cops are humans too; they were just as busy as us all night. Our place is too far, I’ll pay for the cab.”
“Alright, alright, I get it, I’m not stingy with that bit of money, it just seemed more convenient to let the police drive us. There, a cab’s coming, I’ll flag it down.”
The two soon got into a taxi.
As the car started, Chengcai immediately asked the man beside him, “By the way, Third Brother, did you feel that that actress today looked like someone we know, did she seem familiar?”
