When the young assistant rushed over sleepily, Zhai Cheng and Song Ge had already been waiting for a while.
The assistant cast a suspicious glance at the cemetery keeper beside them and was extremely puzzled. "Mr. Zhai, why did you and Miss Song come here in the middle of the night?"
Normal people shouldn't have so much leisure to go for a walk at night. And even if they did, they wouldn't choose a place like this.
Zhai Cheng gave him a calm look and didn't offer much explanation. Instead, he reached out his hand to ask for the car keys.
The assistant groggily handed over the car keys.
"Do you have your phone with you?" Zhai Cheng asked meaningfully.
"Yes." The assistant was taken aback for a moment, then took out his phone from his pocket to show Zhai Cheng.
Zhai Cheng gave Song Ge a look, signaling her to get in the car.
"I'll take your car first. You can take a taxi back later." Zhai Cheng waved the car keys in his hand and drove away.
Staring blankly at the car driving away, the assistant suddenly woke up. So that was why Zhai Cheng had asked him if he had his phone with him just now.
No, that was clearly his car.
Watching the car gradually disappearing into the distance, the assistant was extremely sad. He was on the verge of squatting on the ground and crying.
"Son, if you want to take a taxi, you need to walk a few more minutes ahead. Taxi drivers usually don't come here." The cemetery keeper gave him a smiling look and turned away.
"Grandpa, where are you going?" The assistant was a bit scared and hurriedly called out to stop him.
The cemetery keeper pointed to the mountain. "I'm going back to sleep. It's getting late."
With that, he left without looking back.
The assistant was really about to cry now. Why was he so unlucky? How could he have such a boss?
On the other hand, Zhai Cheng drove the car he had "stolen" from the assistant and soon returned to the villa with Song Ge.
"Is it really okay for us to leave the assistant there?" Song Ge couldn't help laughing but still couldn't stop worrying about this.
After Zhai Cheng parked the car, he led Song Ge into the house, not taking her question seriously at all. "He has his phone."
The implication was that he could take a taxi by himself and they didn't need to worry about him.
Since Zhai Cheng had said so, Song Ge didn't worry anymore and followed him into the villa at ease.
In the living room, Aunt Chen was standing there on tiptoe, looking worried.
When she saw Zhai Cheng and Song Ge coming in, she was extremely happy and rushed over.
"Aunt Chen, go and make us some ginger soup." Zhai Cheng calmly gave the order, not giving Aunt Chen a chance to ask questions.
Aunt Chen was puzzled but didn't ask directly. She went straight to the kitchen.
Once again, only Zhai Cheng and Song Ge were left in the living room.
After resting on the sofa for a while, Song Ge looked at Zhai Cheng seriously, hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong?" Zhai Cheng noticed her look and turned to look at her. "Just say what you want to say."
"I want to talk to you about Leng Jing." After much hesitation, Song Ge finally decided to tell Zhai Cheng what had happened before.
After all, Leng Jing seemed so strange now.
Zhai Cheng sensed something was off and sat down beside her. "Did something happen?"
Song Ge nodded and then detailed the incident when Leng Jing had blocked her way.
Of course, she also included the words about revenge.
"Believe me, these were the exact words she said." Song Ge solemnly promised after she finished speaking.
It was true that she and Leng Jing didn't get along well, but she wasn't the kind of person who would fabricate facts to slander others.
Zhai Cheng's face darkened and he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Zhai Cheng looked up, unable to believe it. "I know her personality well. Although she is usually a bit spoiled, she shouldn't be like this."
Song Ge sighed. "It seems that the death of Senior Ji Qingyun really hit her hard."
After all, Leng Jing was actually a poor girl. Were all people in love like this?
"I told you this just to make you more vigilant. Maybe she has her own difficulties." Song Ge didn't want to see Zhai Cheng disappointed and said this casually.
She had always been worried about this, which was why she hadn't told him before. It seemed that it still hurt him.
"I know what to do." Zhai Cheng nodded non - committally. "It seems I need to find some time to have a good talk with that girl."
It would be good if he could persuade her. If not, he would have to come up with a new plan.
Song Ge knew it was useless to say more, so she didn't say anything else.
The two fell into silence again.
"Sir, Miss Song, your ginger soup is here." Aunt Chen came out with a bowl of ginger soup and carefully served it in front of them.
Song Ge gave her a grateful smile. "Aunt Chen, you can go and rest first. We'll clean up after we finish drinking."
Aunt Chen was flattered and waved her hand, about to refuse.
The sound of knocking on the door drew everyone's attention back.
"Who is it?" Aunt Chen got up and shouted as she went to open the door.
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge also looked at the door warily in case of any unexpected events.
As soon as the door opened, a man stumbled in and grabbed Aunt Chen's arm anxiously.
Aunt Chen instinctively pushed him away. "Who are you? Why did you suddenly break into our house?"
The man must have run here. He was out of breath. "Aunt Chen, don't you recognize me? I came here before. Leng Jing brought me here."
Aunt Chen relaxed her vigilance and looked at him dubiously.
He did look a bit familiar, but what was he doing here suddenly?
"Aunt Chen, who's at the door?" Song Ge's puzzled voice came from inside the house.
Aunt Chen didn't delve into the matter any further and shouted in explanation, "A man. He says he's a friend of Miss Leng Jing."
As soon as the man heard there were other people in the house, he rushed into the living room.
"Hello. I'm Leng Jing's ex - boyfriend. I'm here today because I have something very important to tell you." The man said hurriedly after he caught his breath a bit.
Song Ge stared at him for a few seconds before recognizing him. Leng Jing had indeed brought him here before, but hadn't they stopped contacting each other recently?
Seeing Song Ge's confusion, the man quickly explained, "We've been in a cold war recently, so we haven't been in touch for a long time."
Leng Jing's family was not ordinary. He could tell just from the way these two looked at him.
"What's the matter?" Zhai Cheng didn't have a good impression of this man and asked coldly.
The man said anxiously, "Leng Jing is in trouble."
There was full - fledged worry on his face. Coupled with his disheveled appearance when he came, it didn't seem like he was lying.
"I was going to contact her today to talk about our relationship, but I found out that she's in trouble. She's still in the hospital now." Leng Jing's boyfriend was afraid they wouldn't believe him and explained in detail again.
The hospital? Hearing this, both Zhai Cheng and Song Ge became nervous.
