CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 174: DELIBERATE REVENGE

Zhou Zhicheng’s eyelids twitched a little, and the face that seemed not very approachable now could be described as ’fierce and menacing’.

He focused his pupils briefly for a few seconds, quickly thinking of something, and asked in an unprecedentedly serious tone, "Are you sure?"

Then he asked, "Is it the family member of that deceased from before?"

Wen Xu could not immediately answer either of the two questions.

Because he also saw it from the reaction of the hit-and-run driver.

At that time, he was parked at a temporary spot by the roadside, and unless the driver was in an abnormal driving state, it shouldn’t have been possible to hit him.

Before the accident, he caught sight of the truck coming straight towards him. There was no time to completely avoid it, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and moved the car behind a big tree, cushioning the truck’s impact and saving his own life.

However, he injured an arm, so he has had to take leave from work at the police station recently.

The driver did not flee afterwards and is now under control.

Because the cause of the accident was so absurd, he was taken for comprehensive drug testing.

He was cleared of both drug use and driving under the influence of alcohol.

The driver’s reasoning was that he was too tired, and a moment’s distraction led him to accidentally drive onto the road.

But Wen Xu felt that the driver was coming straight for him.

However, without a reason to support his idea, he dared not guarantee it.

Zhou Zhicheng saw him like this and knew that asking more wouldn’t help. But to prevent the other party from stopping because their purpose might not be accomplished, he suggested, "How about I leave Xiao Hu to protect you?"

Although neither of them felt that the person would be crazy enough to do something at the hospital.

Zhou Zhicheng sighed deeply, "It’s no use; the evidence you’ve provided could strengthen the case against his son, so it’s understandable that he hates you."

But now, with charges not being established, he’s probably just seeking revenge on Wen Xu.

Even though Wen Xu didn’t agree, Zhou Zhicheng left Hu Chi behind anyway.

The latter, of course, was delighted, as hospital duty was at least less than working in the police station.

But Wen Xu didn’t think that way.

The private room he specifically requested was now in vain.

He turned his head to the side with his eyes closed, as if doing so would make the world much quieter.

Until Hu Chi behind him picked up his phone and shouted in surprise, "Hey? Sister Yun Chu is actually live streaming!"

Wen Xu slowly opened his eyes again.

Hu Chi seemed to have realized that his presence might have been a bit noisy for Wen Xu, so this time he thoughtfully tried to take out earphones to watch the livestream.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn’t find them.

He thought about it, mustered the courage, and wanted to borrow a pair from Wen Xu.

"Forensic Officer Wen... do you have earphones?"

"No." Wen Xu’s voice answered particularly quickly.

Hu Chi looked at the earphones on the bedside table: "..."

Wen Xu sensed his gaze and didn’t feel guilty in the slightest, "I’m a germaphobe."

Hu Chi: "..." Alright.

Honestly, he had known this for a while.

Just when he thought he might not catch Mu Yunchu’s livestream, Wen Xu said, "You can play it out loud."

Hu Chi’s eyes lit up: "Really???"

...

Viewers in the livestream saw someone saying that the food in the funeral home’s dining hall was delicious, and when they checked online, they found that it wasn’t such an obscure thing.

Quite a few people locally were aware of it.

Due to Mu Yunchu’s livestream popularity, this funeral home received unprecedented attention.

Probably no one would have expected that one day a funeral home would become famous because the rice noodles in its dining hall were too delicious.

[As a seasoned foodie, it’s the first time I’ve encountered food so close and cheap yet unreachable for me.]

Mu Yunchu didn’t leave them much time to discuss, quickly sending up a second lucky draw.

A few minutes later, a second winner was selected.

Everyone’s attention naturally shifted.

[Let’s welcome today’s second unlucky one!]

[Please share your story.]

...

They waited a while before the second visitor applied for a connection.

Mu Yunchu agreed to the application, but the right side of the screen only showed his avatar, with no picture. This indicated he had only applied for a voice connection and hadn’t turned on the camera.

"Is it inconvenient for video?"

Mu Yunchu asked, "If so, you can send the photo to me privately."

However, the visitor hastily explained, "No, no, hold on a moment, I’m driving right now. Let me find a safer place to turn on the camera."

[Hmm? Friendly reminder, it’s best not to play with your phone while driving, it’s very dangerous.]

[That’s right, from what the visitor just said, I almost have their image in my head; definitely a potbellied, law-breaking middle-aged man I often see on the streets.]

...

A few seconds later, the visitor’s face appeared on the screen.

He was a man appearing to be in his thirties, with slightly dark skin but fairly decent features, a relatively rugged face, and a neat short haircut.

When he appeared, there was a wave of ’wow’ in the comments.

[I apologize for my prejudices just now.]

[Visitor: Prejudice in the human heart is like a huge mountain.]

[Visitor: I heard someone said I was potbellied?]

[No, dude, you, your voice and appearance don’t match at all.]

It was then that some viewers noticed that although he was controlling the camera, the scenery behind him was still slowly changing.

This indicated that he hadn’t stopped the car.

The car was still driving on the road.

[Wait... you’d better stop the car first, even though you’re not holding the phone, being distracted is quite unsafe too.]

Wang Qiuhui looked at the road ahead, glanced at the screen, saw this suggestion comment, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the rearview mirror with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m a driver with over ten years of experience, this is nothing challenging for me."

"Anyway, I can’t stop now because I’m already on the highway."

"Besides, I can get off the highway in about five minutes, another five minutes and I’ll be home."

Seeing that he was determined, the people in the comments knew that persuading further wouldn’t help, so they stopped trying.

Still, Mu Yunchu emphasized several times in the livestream not to follow his example and to maintain safe driving while operating a vehicle.

Then she began to ask Wang Qiuhui what he wanted to ask.

He freed one hand to touch his chin, "Can I ask anything?"

"Then can I ask if I’ll win the lottery if I buy a ticket later?"
