Chapter 984: The Abandoned Toy 8
"When can I be transferred back to the capital?" He Teng was the first to speak up and ask. Lan Li laughed at himself a bit when the topic of returning to the capital was mentioned, "It’s not likely at the moment."
Lan Li was quite clear about this outcome.
Although Gu En had managed to extricate himself from the Lan Song incident, everyone had truly shifted their focus onto him. Xing Ye had seized the opportunity to transfer him to S Province, and wouldn’t easily let him return to the capital.
Of course, the most important thing was that here in the capital, they wouldn’t give him the chance to intervene and help Gu En clear his name. Lan Li knew that the drug trafficking case was certainly still being investigated in the shadows.
"Today..." Lan Li hesitated when he thought of He Zhilan and then said, "I ran into your wife in the city today. When I encountered her, she was standing next to a pile of rubbish and threw away all her toys that seemed to be newly bought, even with the packaging bags unopened. At that time, she passed by me, she should have seen me, but it’s strange, she acted as if she didn’t recognize me, as if she didn’t recognize my aunt either."
After a pause, Lan Li continued, "She must have seen me again when she came back, but when she opened the door and saw me just now, she seemed very surprised."
He Teng stopped in his tracks, furrowing his brows, "What are you trying to say?"
"Your wife is behaving a bit oddly, and it’s not just me who feels this way," Lan Li replied.
"Pfft—" He Teng snorted with a laugh that carried a tone of sarcasm through his nose but said nothing else.
These days, he had been with He Zhilan all the time. Where was He Zhilan being strange? He hadn’t noticed or felt anything odd about her.
