Chapter 48 - 48 Kill Her After This Meal
He was in no mood to care about his burned hand. His attention was focused on his childhood friend’s phone. “What is it? Show it to me!”
His childhood friend placed his phone on the table and turned it toward him. “Here, it’s this WeChat Moments.”
Nan Zhe picked up the phone and narrowed his eyes to look at the photo carefully.
!!
As if he did not believe it, he clicked on the photo and zoomed back and forth, looking at the details.
Seeing that his eyes were burning as if he was going to stare until a hole appeared in the phone, his childhood friend was a little puzzled. “Don’t you know about this?”
Nan Zhe gritted his teeth.
He knew nothing!
Looking at the date of the photo, it was indeed the night of New Year’s Eve.
Hiss.
He took a deep breath and pressed on his heart. Oh no. It felt like a heart attack!
Seeing his pale face, his childhood friend threw his chopsticks aside. “Hey! Are you alright? You, you, you…”
His childhood friend gestured to his friends beside him. “What are you waiting for? Call for an ambulance!”
“… Call my ass.” Nan Zhe slapped his friend’s hand and hooked it around his neck as if he had revived. He held the phone in front of him.
“He has already posted this a few days ago. Why did you only show it to me now?!”
“Didn’t I mention Nan Ge and this old man to you before?”
His childhood friend rolled his eyes. “I’m innocent!”
“I added him on WeChat because of a project today. I just saw it and told you!”
Shen Yanqing rarely added others on WeChat. He begged for a long time this time and Shen Yanqing eventually added him.
As soon as he added Shen Yanqing to WeChat, he clicked on the other party’s Moments curiously.
Shen Yanqing’s circle of friends was as clean as him.
With a casual swipe of his finger, he could see the bottom of his WeChat Moments. 99% of them were posts on Huasheng Group’s official account.
The only more personal one was the photo from New Year’s Eve at the top.
The surroundings had a lot of light, but the background lights were not uniform. There was almost no light source near the two of them in this photo, so their facial features were not very clear.
However, it was still obvious who they were.
He had only met Shen Yanqing once, but he and Nan Zhe had grown up together. Naturally, Nan Ge had grown up under his nose.
He might have mistaken Shen Yanqing for someone else, but not Nan Ge.
Moreover, this was Shen Yanqing’s WeChat and Moments.
Shen Yanqing could not possibly post a photo of Nan Ge and someone else, right?
How could he explain this? Had his account been hacked?
Who would believe that?
Hearing this, Nan Zhe let go of his childhood friend, took his phone, and looked at the photo carefully a few more times.
Shen Yanqing sent this blurry photo without any caption.
Soon, Nan Zhe realized that Nan Ge had actually liked it below.
“Good. Well done.”
He slapped the phone in his childhood friend’s hand and said fiercely, “Send his WeChat ID to me! Immediately!”
His childhood friend, “…”
——
When Nan Ge returned, the private room was surprisingly quiet.
She stood at the door and held the doorknob in a daze. Her first reaction was to think that she had entered the wrong room.
She remembered that before she left just now, the private room seemed quite lively, right?
She knew almost all of Nan Zhe’s friends.
Basically, they were either his childhood friends or high school classmates. Nan Zhe had brought them home to hang out before.
These guys did not have a good reputation in the circle in private. They were considered privileged brats in Jiang City.
However, everyone treated her well. Previously, when they came to her house as guests, they would remember to buy her some food.
Therefore, she had a good impression of Nan Zhe’s friends.
Otherwise, her mother would not have allowed her to come along today.
Moreover, because she was around, everyone was relatively more restrained. They only chatted and rarely touched cigarettes and alcohol.
However, wasn’t it a little too quiet now?
Also… why was everyone looking at her in unison?
The atmosphere was inexplicably strange.
Nan Ge hesitated for a few seconds before walking in.
“Are you guys done eating?”
Seeing that no one spoke or touched their chopsticks, she began to panic.
...
“Oh yes. Go on and eat, guys.” One of them reacted quickly. “We were just waiting for you to get back and join us.”
The others echoed.
Nan Ge’s gaze landed on Nan Zhe.
The latter looked at her coldly.
“Eat. Why are you looking at me?” Nan Zhe raised his chin and gestured for her to eat.
Nan Ge did not dare to move. Seeing this, Nan Zhe sat up straight, picked up the chopsticks, and knocked hard on the plate. He aligned them and picked up some food for her. “Come on. Eat up.”
“…” Why did it feel so much like her last meal before execution?
Why did her brother sound like he was going to kill her after this meal?
Looking at the food on her plate, Nan Ge pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Did you poison the food while I was out?”
“Of course not.” Nan Zhe smiled brightly. “I’m your biological brother.”
Nan Ge nervously swallowed and chuckled. “It’s good that you know.”
...
After that, Nan Zhe almost did not eat anything. He kept putting food into her bowl. He was so attentive that it made Nan Ge’s hair stand on end.
She felt that her brother was abnormal no matter how she looked at him.
She seriously suspected that after she went out just now, her brother had been swapped!
Was this still her brother?
“Are you full?”
Seeing that Nan Ge could not eat anymore, Nan Zhe put away his chopsticks mercifully.
“Uh huh.”
She was about to vomit from eating.
“Okay. Time to go.” As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Zhe stood up and picked up his jacket. As he put it on, he said to the others, “It’s getting late. I’ll take Nan Ge back first.”
It was rare that no one stopped him today.
Nan Ge did not expect him to go home so early.
Before she left, she said goodbye to his friends.
They turned to look at her. Half of them looked at her with complicated emotions in their hearts, and the other half sincerely wished her the best. “Good luck.”
“…”
Nan Ge could not help but wonder if someone had really poisoned the dishes tonight. Why were all of them delirious?
However, just as she got into the car and fastened her seatbelt, her brother reached out and grabbed her ear.
She cried out in pain, “Nan Zhe, do you want to die?!”
She reached out to hit him, but her hands were short. Nan Zhe leaned against the car door and hid far away. She struggled a few times, but she could not reach him.
Nan Zhe pinched her ear again. “Try moving again! How dare you hit me? You’ve certainly gotten good, haven’t you?!”
“With your small arms and legs, you’re still sparring with your brother. Don’t make me kick you, okay?”
“Ahhh! I’m going to tell Dad and Mom that you bullied me and hit me!”
“Bullsh*t! Who the f*ck hit you?” Nan Zhe loosened his grip, afraid that he would leave a mark. After all, this girl would really complain to their parents when she got back.
However, in the next second, he suddenly felt confident. He pulled her ear with one hand and placed the other on his waist. “Heh, I know how to complain too.”
“I didn’t hit you!”
“Who said anything about hitting me?”
“Tell me the truth. Are you with Dog Shen?!”
