Zheng Mo did not expose her. She smiled at Wen Nian and nodded perfunctorily. She joked, “Yes, yes, yes. If it was this difficult to pick out a gift for a classmate, you would not be able to pick out a gift for someone who is special.”
After hearing this, Wen Nian couldn’t help but retort, “I’m only putting in so much effort because he helped me a lot. I don’t have much money, so I have to be more careful in my choices and choose items that offer the best value.”
Observing Wen Nian’s reaction, Zheng Mo commented nonchalantly, “When it comes to sincerity, nothing beats something made by oneself. And the best part? It doesn’t have to be expensive! Maybe a handmade scarf or gloves, for example.”
Wen Nian pondered for a moment and found the suggestion reasonable. “Actually, I do know how to knit scarves and gloves. Back in junior high school, there was a trend of making handmade gifts, and I knitted a few for my brother and parents. So, I have some experience in this!”
Once they had decided on their plan, everything fell into place. They headed straight to the yarn shop, and Wen Nian selected the most luxurious cashmere thread available. She purchased half a catty each of white and gray.
Upon arriving home, Wen Nian retrieved the knitting book she had purchased in junior high and started browsing through it. After more than an hour, she finally settled on a pattern that she could knit quickly. She was concerned that the design might be too ostentatious or plain, but ultimately decided on the two-colored flower field knitting method.
Wen Nian was quite adept at knitting, and she spent half a day working on the gift. Once she had finished, she carefully placed it in the new gift box she had purchased.
Two weeks prior, Shen Jun had registered Wen Nian’s facial recognition in the building’s security system and provided her with an elevator access card. Thus, Wen Nian entered the building with ease and headed straight for the elevator.
As the elevator doors slid open, Wen Nian locked eyes with Wei Feng.
Wei Feng was a little surprised. He walked out of the elevator and asked, “Wen Nian, why are you here?”
Wen Nian maintained a polite and distant demeanor as she smiled calmly and replied, “Hello, Old Mr. Wei. I’m here to visit my classmate, who lives in this building.”
Having spoken, Wen Nian casually glanced at the man with the tiger-head tattoo behind Wei Feng, then turned her attention back to Wei Feng himself.
Wei Feng was somewhat taken aback by the revelation that Wen Nian had a classmate in the building. He inquired with a note of concern, “What a coincidence. Which floor is your classmate on?”
Wei Feng could have easily found out which floor Wen Nian’s classmate lived on, but she had nothing to hide and opted to tell him the truth.
Wei Feng was taken aback upon learning that Wen Nian’s classmate resided on the top floor. Although he didn’t know the resident’s true identity, he was aware that they hailed from a prominent family in the capital.
Wei Feng himself was a local businessman who had amassed his wealth in recent decades. Despite his best efforts, he had been unable to acquire more information about the aristocratic families of the city.
Despite feeling a sense of turmoil inside, Wei Feng remained outwardly composed, his years of business experience having honed his ability to maintain a calm demeanor. He offered a kind smile and remarked, “It seems you and your classmate are quite close, if you can enter our building so easily.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Nian feigned anxiety and glanced at the time on her phone. She quickly replied, “Old Mr. Wei, I’m afraid I must be going. The time I agreed upon with my classmate is almost up. Let’s chat another time.”
Wei Feng didn’t say anything and waved at Wen Nian with a smile.
Wei Feng frowned slightly when he saw the number on the elevator rising. He turned to look at Big Tiger. “When you went and chased after that person, you saw that the person was a girl?”
Big Tiger nodded in affirmation. “Although I didn’t get a good look at her face, the person had the figure of a girl.”
As the elevator reached the top floor, Wei Feng couldn’t help but recall Big Tiger’s earlier encounter with a young man in the building. “Do you think the girl you saw just now might be the same person you were chasing earlier?” he asked, turning to Big Tiger.
Big Tiger was not very sure. “She’s about the same height, but that person was wearing a slightly looser casual outfit at that time. This girl is wearing a cotton shirt now, so there’s no way to accurately judge.”
“However, based on the fact that the person was able to evade surveillance cameras and enter the premises through the secret passage, it’s safe to assume that they have some level of martial arts training and experience in prying open doors. On the other hand, the girl we just saw seemed like an ordinary student, with no remarkable skills.”
When Wei Feng heard these words, he pondered and realized that he may have been overthinking. Additionally, Wen Nian’s reaction just now seemed very normal. If she had continuously stared at him and ignored Big Tiger, it would imply that she deliberately tried to avoid him or concealed that she had seen him.
This was because when ordinary people knew that there were other people present, they would naturally look at the person nearby. This was a subconscious action.
And so, Wei Feng removed Wen Nian from the list of suspects who had eavesdropped on him last time. He began to think about Wen Nian’s relationship with the resident living on the 12th floor and how to get to know her through Wen Nian. Thinking about how he had not been to Wen Xing’s house for a long time, he felt that it was time for him pay Wen Xing a visit..
