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

Chapter 289 Thorny Rose (46)

"Wang Jianchun." Yan Zhen stood up and walked over to him. "Where did you hide my mother's body?"

Wang Jianchun gritted his teeth, his expression quickly turning humble and pitiful. He sobbed, "Xiao Xun, why do you think I killed your mother? The neighbors all know that your mother abandoned you and left home back then. I even called the police. As her husband, I want to know more than anyone else where she went and why she left you..."

Yan Zhen, impatient with his words, interrupted him: "You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin, huh? Beat him up."

Wang Jianchun's crying stopped abruptly.

Two bodyguards, both former mercenaries, stepped forward and began beating Wang Jianchun.

Mercenaries are far more experienced than ordinary people when it comes to torturing people. They controlled the force used on Wang Jianchun to the point that he was in excruciating pain but not enough to kill him.

Wang Jianchun's screams grew louder and louder, and after half an hour of torture, Yan Zhen waved to signal the bodyguards to stop.

She asked Wang Jianchun again, "Where did you hide my mother's body?"

Wang Jianchun's mouth and nose were covered in blood, but he still stubbornly insisted, "I didn't kill her, I don't know where she is..."

For three whole hours, Wang Jianchun remained tight-lipped and refused to divulge anything, insisting that he knew nothing about it no matter how he was questioned.

Yan Zhen came out of the basement, looking very agitated.

The housekeeper brought over a glass of water, which Song Yi took and handed to Yan Zhen: "Have some water."

Yan Zhen pushed his hand away: "I'm not thirsty."

Song Yi comforted him, "Don't worry, let's interrogate him slowly. He'll eventually give in."

"Hmm." Yan Zhen was in a bad mood. "Starve him for a few days. Don't give him anything except water. I'm going back to school first. If he changes his mind, then let me know."

“Okay,” Song Yi said immediately. “I’ll take you back.”

"No need, just have the driver take me."

Song Yi wanted to insist, but seeing that her expression wasn't good, he didn't dare to provoke her at this critical juncture, so he could only give up: "Alright."

The housekeeper called the driver, and Song Yi watched Yan Zhen get into the car.

As soon as the car drove out of the Song family manor, Yan Zhen turned his head to look at the receding night view outside the car window, his lips pursed, and his eyes slowly became deep.

Whether Song Yi and Wang Jianchun can be dealt with together depends on whether this play can continue smoothly.

The day before school started, Xu Zhiyun, who shared a room with Yan Zhen, returned.

Last semester, she lured Yan Zhen to the bathroom in exchange for the million-yuan bonus promised by Qin Huai. After failing to lock him up, she was locked up herself and then disappeared. Yan Zhen heard that she had taken a long leave of absence.

I thought she would transfer schools, but I didn't expect her to come back this semester.

The two looked at each other, and Xu Zhiyun guiltily looked away, lowered his head to tidy his desk, and didn't even dare to greet Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen didn't seem inclined to talk to her. He climbed onto the top bunk, opened the small table, and started working on his problems.

She had been working on a few pages of questions when there was a knock at the door. Xu Zhiyun immediately got up to open it.

Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman in a nanny's uniform, carrying a thermal bag. Xu Zhiyun recognized this as the standard attire for the nannies at Dexianlou: "You are..."

Those nannies are supposed to take care of the top people in Dexian Building, so why would they come to an ordinary dormitory?

Xu Zhiyun looked puzzled, and the nanny smiled at her: "I'm looking for Miss Lin."

Xu Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, then looked at the insulated bag in her hand and realized that she had come to deliver food, so he quickly stepped aside to let her in.

After the nanny entered the room, she greeted Yan Zhen, then opened the insulated bag, took out five or six insulated boxes one by one, and laid them out on the table.

Five dishes and a soup, plus a bowl of stomach-soothing millet porridge, and the aroma of the meal immediately filled the room.

The nanny carefully disassembled the chopsticks and spoons, wiped and arranged them neatly before saying to Yan Zhen, "Miss Lin, dinner is ready."

"Put it there, I'll eat it later."

"Ok."

After the nanny finished speaking, she stepped aside to wait.

Seeing this, Yan Zhen said helplessly, "You can go back now. Also, you don't need to deliver food anymore."

The nanny hesitated and said, "This... it's the young master's idea to deliver the meals."

Yan Zhen was silent for a few seconds, then called Song Yi in front of the nanny, and the call was answered almost instantly.

Song Yi's cheerful voice came through: "Lin Xun, you were looking for me?"

"Didn't we agree last night that we wouldn't have any more food deliveries?" Yan Zhen said. "Why did Auntie send food over again today?"

"You skipped breakfast, and you're not going to eat lunch either?"

Yan Zhen: "...I ate it."

"You're lying. You haven't even come downstairs. You either haven't eaten, or you've been eating that kind of unhealthy stuff," Song Yi said. "You want to go to college, but if you don't eat properly, where will you get the energy to take the college entrance exam?"

Yan Zhen: "..."

She hung up the phone, glanced at the embarrassed nanny, and sighed, "Go on with your work."

The aunt then left.

Xu Zhiyun witnessed the whole thing, thought for a moment, then moved closer to Yan Zhen and tentatively asked, "Um, Lin Xun, who sent this lunch?"

Yan Zhen didn't even look up: "Get lost."

Xu Zhiyun: "..."

Yan Zhen got out of bed after finishing her practice questions. After lunch, she packed up her lunchbox, took it downstairs, and threw it in the trash can.

When she returned to 307, she had just opened the door a crack when she heard voices coming from the dormitory living room.

Xu Zhiyun asked, "I heard the nanny say that the delivery of meals was the young master's idea... Which young master of Dexian Tower has Lin Xun managed to get on board with?"

Another female voice said, "I don't know, but last semester I saw Lin Xun and Song Yi, that first-year student from Dexian Building, having dinner at the cafeteria. They seemed to have a very good relationship."

Xu Zhiyun asked in confusion, "Song Yi? Isn't that a girl?"

"It's a girl... Hey, why are you asking so many questions? Maybe Song Yi is just a stepping stone. She got into Dexianlou through Song Yi, then met the young master of some large corporation there, and rose to the top in one step. Ordinary people can't replicate this kind of path. After all, we don't have Lin Xun's beauty, nor do we have her thick skin to fawn over rich people."

This remark made the other two girls laugh.

Yan Zhen pushed open the door and entered.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the four girls in the living room, including Xu Zhiyun, looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment.

They were caught gossiping behind each other's backs, and they wished they could disappear into the ground.

Yan Zhen had no intention of arguing with them and walked expressionlessly through the living room into her room.

A short while later, Xu Zhiyun came in.

She opened and closed the door very quietly. Seeing Yan Zhen sitting at her desk listening to English with headphones on, she slowly walked over and said awkwardly, "Lin Xun, I'm sorry, I was just curious and asked them about it. I didn't mean any harm..."

"Mm," Yan Zhen responded, indicating that he understood.

But after receiving this response, Xu Zhiyun didn't leave. Instead, she lowered her voice and asked, "Would it be convenient for you to tell me who delivered your food?"

Yan Zhen took off one earphone and said with a half-smile, "What, are you also planning to shamelessly fawn over rich people?"
