Revenge Sevenfold

The reason Lu Shen had not found Wen Zedong earlier and did not present his photo to Bao Bai was that the Wen family had been wiped off the whole internet database.

Only when Xiao Yin gave him the hint about the Wen family did he remember that he had stored a hard copy about their information. Not long after, he discovered the traces of a hacker that had deliberately taken the Wen family off the online grid. Following his trail, Lu Shen managed to recover some of the deleted files and loopholes that the hacker had missed. That was when Lu Shen connected Wen Zedong to the driver who killed Xiao Yin.

The plate number of the car Wen Zedong used had been traced twelve years ago to an old man who had long since reported to the police that his car was stolen. It was obvious at first glance that he wasn't the suspect, but another victim. It also heightened the probability of the hit and run 'accident' as a first-degree murder.

Twelve years ago, the car was found abandoned in Tianjin. Lu Shen pored over various CCTV recordings in the area, including those in hotels and in the streets. The retention time for a CCTV footage could only be thirty-one days, but Lu Shen had made a copy for himself and stored it into his hard drive. When he scanned it again this morning, he finally caught a glimpse of Wen Zedong wearing a cap inside a computer shop. If he hadn't fully focused on searching for Wen Zedong, he would have never found him.

And according to Bao Bai, Wen Zedong fit perfectly the appearance of the driver that she described. This evidence was enough to condemn Wen Zedong to prison.

But Lu Shen didn't want to simply put Wen Zedong in jail. That would be letting him off lightly.

After he explained the important points to Hui Yin, she frowned.

"What is Bao Bai doing in front of the mansion? Did you know her already during that time?" she asked.

"Bao Bai is the junior apprentice to one of my subordinates. She was there to watch over Nian Zhen. Her senior was one of the two people I sent over to guard you."

"You put secret bodyguards around me?!" exclaimed Hui Yin.

Hui Yin remembered that Lu Shen gave her a house when they divorced. She was too depressed to go out, so she frequently stayed inside, watching sad movies and eating desserts like there was no tomorrow. She didn't know she had an audience watching her!

Lu Shen gave her a bland look. "There was a threat to your life, so did you really think I'd send you off without protection? I ordered them to stay far away and only interact with you when necessary."

Hui Yin was dumbfounded. "So they were there when Nian Zhen pushed me off the road? And they didn't stop her?"

"They didn't think that the daughter of a respectable family would commit murder in broad daylight. Du Peng and his colleague underestimated Nian Zhen. You have to realize, the guards I sent you were used to dealing with the underworld. To them, Nian Zhen was only bickering with you. They didn't think she would actually push you off the road."

He added lightly, "Incompetent employees...I have no need for them."

Hui Yin felt her hair stand on end. She didn't want to know what happened to those incompetent employees.

"How did you know that Wen Zedong hitting me was intentional? He also didn't know that Nian Zhen would push me..."

But why would he steal a car? What was he doing there at that point in time? Why would he run away? Despite her words, Hui Yin also believed that Wen Zedong was guilty.

"We'll know the answers once I captured him. It wouldn't be long now..." Lu Shen glanced at his wristwatch. His mouth curled up in a freezing arc.

Hui Yin wasn't surprised that Lu Shen had already tracked him down. Once his identity was revealed, given Lu Shen's connections and resources, it was an easy thing for him to capture Wen Zedong.

"What...what are you going to do to him?"

She wasn't really asking for Wen Zedong's sake. Since Lu Shen already knew that Hui Jinhai was connected to the Wen family, she was afraid that her brother would share the same fate. Fortunately, Lu Shen still didn't know that Hui Jinhai was the culprit he was looking for.

Lu Shen returned the files to his desk drawer and stood up. "These things can wait until tomorrow. He still hasn't been captured, so get some rest for now. I'll wake you if anything important comes up."

They went out of his study together. Lu Shen paused, then raised a hand to gently stroke her hair. "I heard you didn't go back to the master bedroom. I understand, as long as you rest well. Take care of yourself properly."

Hui Yin nodded. She watched as Lu Shen went into the master bedroom before turning around and going back to her own room. She had questions she wanted to ask Wen Zedong as well.

Late at night, while Hui Yin was still deeply asleep, a black Maybach Exelero quietly exited the mansion.

Lu Shen had just received a message that Wen Zedong had been finally captured.
