nChapter 54: Are You Worried About Me?

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nThis thought seemed absurd to Shen Qian himself.

nWhy would he even think of her?

nA fostered girl who had lived away for over a decade, how could she be relevant?

nLogic told him that such speculations were baseless. However, intuition encouraged him to view it with a skeptical perspective.

nThe key information at hand was “Ning City”, and Shen Wan happened to fit the criteria!

nOf course, other members of the Shen family also fit the criteria, but the events occurred only after she was brought back into the Shen family. Before that, there had been nothing.

nHow could this be explained?

nNevertheless, this wasn’t the first time Shen Qian had harbored suspicions.

nInitially, Shen Yan had complained to him, insisting that Shen Wan had intentionally fallen down, aiming to frame her.

nThough he didn’t believe it, he still cooperated with Shen Yan the next day, hiding in the bushes to eavesdrop on their conversation.

nCompared to Shen Yan’s aggressiveness, Shen Wan had initially presented herself as very humble and meek.

nShen Qian couldn’t believe that someone could be so submissive, so he did it to test the limits of Shen Wan’s tolerance.

nRegrettably, to this day, he had yet to draw a conclusion.

nBecause that little white flower seemed to take everything in stride, behaving as if she had no will of her own, like an obedient doll.

nShen Qian considered that if this was not her true nature but a calculated act, then Shen Wan’s cunning…

nThe second event that aroused his suspicions was the car accident.

nEven though Shen Wan had provided ample reasons to explain her unusual behavior after the accident, Shen Qian still had doubts.

nFor instance, the surveillance footage at the scene of the accident had conveniently failed to capture the specific details due to routine maintenance. Could it be that coincidental?

nFurthermore, the truck driver’s statement remained steadfast: Shen Wan had intentionally crashed into him and even floored the accelerator while fully conscious. .𝒎

nSo, Shen Qian implanted the Duch virus into Shen Wan’s new phone to track her movements at all times.

nPerhaps it was from that moment that he planted the seed of “suspicion” in his heart.

nNow, it was just the sprouting of that seed, naturally leading him to think of Shen Wan.

nIt wasn’t really surprising.

nSuddenly, Shen Qian thought of something. He quickly walked over to the sofa, picked up his phone, and skillfully dialed a number.

n“Give me five minutes. Send me the location tracking map of Duch virus for the past two weeks to my email.”

n“Yes.”

nFive minutes later, Shen Qian sat in front of his computer, staring at the blank tracking records on the screen, his brows furrowed in deep concern.

n“What do you mean?”

nThere was a prolonged silence on the other end, and for a moment, all that could be heard was their heavy, labored breaths.

n“As you can see, the Duch virus… has malfunctioned.”

nShen Qian’s eyes darkened. “The reason?”

n“There could be several. It might have been a problem during the implantation process, causing the program to fail. Alternatively, the other party might have discovered it and cleared it.”

nAfter ending the call, Shen Qian held onto his phone, standing still in one spot like a statue.

nAfter a long while, a soft sigh escaped his lips, tinged with determination.

n“I hope it wasn’t you.”

nShen Wan was awakened by the disturbance.

nWho would be calling her in the middle of the night?

nHer bleary eyes landed on the screen, and suddenly, she was wide awake, the sleepiness completely gone.

nTaking a deep breath, her fingertips lightly brushed over the screen.

n“Brother?”

n“Are you asleep?” The deep and warm voice sounded.

n“Yeah. Why are you still awake at this hour?”

n“There’s been heavy rain in Ning City today, and it hasn’t stopped until now.” As if to confirm his words, a roll of thunder followed immediately.

n“Well, make sure you stay safe. When you’re done with your work, come home early. Auntie… she’s very worried about you.”

nAuntie referred to Yang Lan.

n“What about you? Are you worried about me?”

nShen Wan lowered her gaze, struggling to decipher his intentions, leaving her momentarily speechless.

n“Is this a tough question? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

n“…Yeah.”

nIn the serene night, the girl’s voice, still hoarse from just waking up, carried a touch of gentleness and obedience.

nAre you worried about me?

nYeah..
