CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 344

...

Youhan was eager to grab onto something, but Wen You encountered another problem.

Last night, the fruit stall owner Wen You collided with died early this morning despite rescue efforts, escalating the situation.

Moreover, since the car accident happened in a bustling area, even though the surveillance footage had been erased, there were witnesses who used their phones to record the incident.

One witness even uploaded the video online, leading to countless views and it quickly soared to the top of the trending search list.

Therefore, the lawyer handling the case immediately called Youhan to inform him.

Upon hearing it was about Wen You again, Youhan couldn’t help but handle it, feeling inexplicably anxious: "I know. I’ll be there soon."

Though he responded as such, looking at Jiang Moxi across the dining table who was eating brunch, he was somewhat at a loss for words.

However, Jiang Moxi, lifting her head and realizing Youhan was looking at her, guessed the call was about Wen You.

So she put down her practice chopsticks: "Go ahead with your matters. I’ve finished eating as well and am heading out."

Saying this, Jiang Moxi got up and went towards her room.

Seeing this, Youhan simply put his own utensils aside and followed Jiang Moxi.

"Xixi, if you’re upset with me, just let it out. Don’t keep everything bottled up inside."

Youhan could actually sense it—the fleeting sadness in Jiang Moxi’s eyes the moment he answered the phone.

She clearly minded that Youhan and Wen You were close, but he couldn’t understand why Jiang Moxi wouldn’t question him and preferred to keep it to herself.

But Youhan didn’t expect, under his assured speech, Jiang Moxi just turned around and gave a forced smile in response.

"I’m not really upset, I just want to cherish every day right now..."

That was Jiang Moxi’s current mindset.

Since she and Youhan were going to be apart in a week and probably never meet again in this lifetime, why bother discussing these displeasures during their precious time together?

"What do you mean? You’re leaving me?" Youhan keenly detected the hidden meaning in Jiang Moxi’s words.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbing her shoulders, "Why are you leaving me? Is it because I haven’t been accompanying you properly lately, or because of..." because of Wen You?

Youhan had never thought that his life couldn’t do without anyone.

However, Jiang Moxi’s appearance had painted a significant mark in his world.

Just the thought of his world without Jiang Moxi almost threw Youhan off balance.

But before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Moxi interrupted him.

"You’re overthinking it. I just spoke out of sentiment."

Jiang Moxi didn’t want their last days together to be unhappy because of separation, so she wasn’t planning on telling Youhan about her decision to leave.

And even if she were to tell Youhan, she didn’t know where to start.

But even though Jiang Moxi didn’t say it, Youhan still felt very unsettled, always feeling like he was about to lose his grip on Jiang Moxi.

At that moment, Jiang Moxi had already put on her backpack, ready to leave.

Youhan couldn’t help but follow her to the door: "Let’s have dinner together at home tonight, I’ll have someone bring over some crabs..."

Youhan felt that Jiang Moxi might be upset and shutting him out because they hadn’t had crab soup together at home last night, unwilling to communicate with him anymore.

So Fu Youhan brought it up again, wanting to make amends and wishing for her to open up to him once more.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Moxi interrupted him before he could finish: "No need, I have plans tonight."

His promises had let her down twice already, Jiang Moxi did not want to endure a third time.

"What about tomorrow night? I’ll have Chi Jing reschedule all of my dinner arrangements for tomorrow."

Fu Youhan vividly remembered, when he suggested eating crabs at home that day, she was so happy, her eyes sparkling brightly, reflecting only his image, Fu Youhan.

Jiang Moxi was still looking forward to dining together at home, so Fu Youhan felt that Jiang Moxi wouldn’t reject him again.

But just as he finished speaking, Jiang Moxi told him, "Let’s talk about it later. I have class this afternoon, I need to leave first."

Then, Jiang Moxi left without looking back.

Watching her swiftly mount the motorcycle, starting the engine, and speeding away, Fu Youhan felt his heart sinking deeper.

He even grabbed his car keys, ready to chase after Jiang Moxi.

But just then, his phone rang again.

It was from the group of bodyguards tasked with watching Wen You.

Fu Youhan felt particularly irritable, even wanting to throw this whole mess away for someone else to deal with.

But then he remembered the car accident that had almost cost him his life, the message Dead Ghost had sent him ahead of time...

Fu Youhan could only exhale a heavy breath of frustration and answered the call.

"Third Young Master, it seems someone has doxxed Miss Wen’s current address and posted it online. Now, there are quite a few reporters and netizens outside the apartment, clamoring to seek justice for the fruit stall owner."

There was a lot of noise on the bodyguard’s side.

Besides that, Fu Youhan also heard someone advising Wen You, "Miss Wen, the Third Young Master will handle this matter soon, please have some food and watch some TV in the meantime."

Though Wen You did not have a gun on her, as a top assassin, she could make a weapon out of anything if she wanted to kill.

Therefore, the bodyguards were also worried that the noisy crowd of netizens and reporters outside might provoke Wen You, leading her to go on a rampage.

Wen You’s mood was already very agitated, and everything was progressing toward the worst-case scenario.

So the bodyguards had no choice but to call Fu Youhan, hoping he could prevent this looming tragedy.

"When will he be here? These people are really annoying! I really want to shoot them," Wen You’s voice also clearly reached Fu Youhan’s ears through the bodyguard’s phone.

Fu Youhan directly told the bodyguard, "Tell her to wait for me for twenty minutes, I’ll be there soon."

Fu Youhan did not want Wen You to cause any more innocent casualties, so he set aside all other concerns and hurried to Wen You’s temporary residence.

On the other side, after finishing her afternoon classes, Jiang Moxi went as usual to tutor Ling Hua.

But unexpectedly, at the entrance of the Ling Family, she encountered Xue Junyi lingering.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Moxi parked her motorcycle and quickly stepped in front of Xue Junyi.

The bruises on Xue Junyi’s face had not yet completely faded.

Upon seeing Jiang Moxi’s stunning face, Xue Junyi instantly remembered the fear from being violently beaten by her that day and hastily stepped back several paces.

But eventually, he mustered the courage to ask Jiang Moxi, "I came to find Huahua. Student Jiang, did Huahua come to work today?"
