Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 288 Thorny Rose (45)

Yan Zhen forcefully pushed his hand away.

Wang Jianchun was furious and raised his hand to slap Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen didn't flinch, staring straight into his eyes as she asked, "Where did you hide my mother's body?"

Wang Jianchun's hand froze in mid-air.

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, followed by a cold laugh: "You suspect I killed Lin Chan?"

"I know you killed him."

"Oh? Who told you that?" Wang Jianchun withdrew his hand, his expression calm.

"I saw it."

Wang Jianchun was taken aback.

Yan Zhen pointed to the door of the second bedroom: "You don't know, do you? I was watching you kill her."

Wang Jianchun's expression showed a moment of panic, but he quickly regained his composure: "Trying to fool me? Do you think I'd believe that? If you really saw me kill Lin Chan, you would have called the police long ago, instead of coming here to question me—let me guess, were you secretly recording this?"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly moved with lightning speed, pinning Yan Zhen against the wardrobe with one hand and roughly searching her pockets with the other.

Yan Zhen estimated that the time was about right, struggled violently, and screamed loudly, "Let me go! Wang Jianchun, let me go!"

The scream seemed to trigger some kind of danger signal, and the next moment, a loud "bang" came from the front door of the house.

Wang Jianchun was startled and immediately turned to look outside: "Who is it?"

There was no answer from the person outside. Then, there were two loud bangs as the wooden door was kicked down. Several tall and burly bodyguards rushed in, with Song Yi following closely behind.

Upon seeing Yan Zhen being pinned down in front of the wardrobe in the master bedroom by Wang Jianchun, seemingly being assaulted, Song Yi's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand and waved it away.

Two bodyguards rushed into the master bedroom. Before Wang Jianchun could even say a word, one of them kicked him away, sending him crashing heavily onto a shelf in the room before rolling off.

Song Yi entered the master bedroom, pulled Yan Zhen's hand away, and looked her up and down to make sure she wasn't injured and was dressed properly. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and lead her out.

Stepping out of the living room, Song Yi scolded, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?"

"I decided to come back on a whim, I forgot to tell you."

"What are you doing back?"

Yan Zhen did not answer immediately, but looked towards the door.

Because of the noise of the door being kicked, the neighbor next door came over and looked into the house with a puzzled expression: "Old Wang, what's going on?"

Yan Zhen paused for a moment.

The neighbor was a widow with a child. She had a good relationship with Wang Jianchun. The two families would often exchange dumplings and steamed buns. The widow was deceived by Wang Jianchun's "honest" appearance and had a good impression of him.

A few years ago, someone tried to match her with Wang Jianchun, but Wang Jianchun refused.

If she finds out what's going on in the master bedroom, this will become a huge scandal.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen calmly broke free from Song Yi's hand and went to the door to talk to the neighbor.

"Aunt He, it's alright."

"The door at home is broken. I made a lot of noise while taking it apart. Did it disturb you? I'm sorry."

“A relative back home is sick, and my dad went back to visit him… Okay, you’re busy.”

After dismissing the neighbors, Yan Zhen signaled the bodyguard to lift and close the door, and then carefully closed the window. Only then did he look at Wang Jianchun, who had been kicked unconscious in the master bedroom, and said to Song Yi, "I suspect that my mother's body is hidden in the house."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi glanced around.

The layout of Wang Jianchun's house was clear at a glance, and it did not seem to have the conditions to hide a corpse.

But when Yan Zhen said that, Song Yi chose to believe her: "I had people tear this place down, pry open every single brick, and search it carefully."

Yan Zhen shook his head: "Did you see that neighbor just now? She has a very good relationship with Wang Jianchun. If her house is demolished for no reason and Wang Jianchun is not here, she will definitely become suspicious. If she calls the police and we can't find the body, then the situation will be unfavorable for us."

Song Yi frowned: "You mean..."

Yan Zhen turned around, and two bodyguards had already dragged the unconscious Wang Jianchun out of the master bedroom: "If you want to know the answer, you'll have to pry it out of him."

Yan Zhen took Wang Jianchun's phone, and the bodyguard found a large suitcase, put Wang Jianchun in it, and prepared to take him back to the Song family manor.

On the way back, Aunt He indeed sent a WeChat message to Wang Jianchun, asking about the "door replacement" at home.

Yan Zhen used Wang Jianchun's phone to reply, thus covering up the matter.

Sitting next to her, Song Yi said, "Don't go out alone next time. If I don't get there in time, that bastard Wang Jianchun will attack you."

Yan Zhen murmured an "Mmm".

Song Yi wanted to say something more, but when he saw Yan Zhen take out his phone and open WeChat, the words he was about to say suddenly stopped.

The message he sent half an hour ago, "The bodyguard delivered something and said you weren't in the dorm. What did you do?" is now read.

Yan Zhen saw the message but did not reply, contrary to her claim that it was "a spur-of-the-moment thing, and I forgot to tell you."

Song Yi shifted his gaze to Yan Zhen's face and stared intently at her.

Yan Zhen noticed and turned her head to meet his gaze: "What's wrong?"

Song Yi was about to ask her why she didn't reply to the message when he suddenly remembered that she wasn't such a reckless or irrational person. Knowing that she was no match for Wang Jianchun, she would never go home alone.

The reason she risked her life seemed more like she was trying to confirm something.

For example, if you notice any clues, you can try to find out if a tracking device is installed on your phone.

He was easily "lured" out.

Upon thinking of this, Song Yi's expression changed slightly.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but what came out was "I'm sorry."

The sentence was abrupt and seemingly unrelated, but Yan Zhen understood it and fell silent.

“I put a tracker on your phone not to monitor you, but to ensure your safety,” Song Yi quickly said. “I was worried that Wang Jianchun might secretly go to see you, which would be detrimental to you.”

Yan Zhen understood, his face expressionless: "Oh."

Song Yi asked nervously, "Aren't you angry?"

Yan Zhen countered, "If I get angry, will you uninstall it?"

Song Yi immediately nodded: "Yes."

"After they remove it, will they use other methods to monitor me? For example, secretly install a tracker on me, or send someone to follow me 24 hours a day."

Song Yi: "..."

“You will,” Yan Zhen said confidently. “So let’s keep it. At least I’ll know how you’re monitoring me.”

Song Yi: "..."

Upon returning to the Song family home, Wang Jianchun was bound hand and foot and thrown into the basement.

The bodyguard brought over a bucket of water and poured it over him, soaking him to the bone.

Wang Jianchun woke up groggily to find himself in an unfamiliar environment. His stomach, which had been kicked, was still throbbing with pain. When he saw Yan Zhen and Song Yi sitting calmly not far away, he was momentarily panicked, but quickly regained his composure.

The fact that the adopted daughter knew she had killed Lin Chan, but didn't immediately kill him to take revenge, proves that she wanted to know something from him.

Recalling her question, "Where did you hide my mother's body?", Wang Jianchun had a clue.

As long as he refuses to reveal the location where Lin Chan's body was hidden, his adopted daughter will not do anything to him for the time being.
