Chapter 40: Self-Awareness

Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The gym room was not bad, but the bedroom was in a horrible state.

Shen Jun had some self-awareness. Feeling a little embarrassed, he touched his nose. “My house is a little messy. So if you have any questions about school, just ask away.”

Wen Nian’s previously furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing Shen Jun’s words. She quickly smiled and replied, “I’m actually really good at cleaning up. You go ahead and do your work. I’ll take care of it myself.”

Shen Jun secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn’t want to eat sandwiches next month. “There’s water on the coffee table. Pour it yourself if you’re thirsty.”

After speaking, Shen Jun settled back onto the sofa and crossed his legs, turning on his computer and returning to his tinkering.

Wen Nian began by collecting the scattered clothes in the living room. When she saw a pair of pants on the ground beside the dirty clothes basket in the bathroom, she resisted the urge to ask Shen Jun why he didn’t put them in the basket. Taking a deep breath, she said to herself, “No one is perfect, even a big shot is just an ordinary person.”

Wen Nian gathered the clothes and took them to the laundry room on the balcony. Inside, she found four washing machines that were meticulously labeled with categories like clothes, pants, shoes, socks, and even underwear!

In her previous life, Wen Nian had not lived a life as luxurious as Shen Jun’s even when she was at her richest. Fortunately, the 20 to 30 pieces of clothing she had collected did not include the most personal items.

Although Shen Jun didn’t like to do housework, he would still wash his underwear himself, even though it was just putting them in the washing machine.

Wen Nian quickly sorted them and placed them into the washing machine.

Then, Wen Nian proceeded to clean everything else in the room including wiping surfaces, organizing packing items, and sweeping and mopping the floor. Although the floor was not dirty, it was quite large and required thorough cleaning. By the time they finished, three and a half hours had passed.

Wen Nian rarely stood up straight, and as she stood by the window, she admired the greenery in the community while massaging her waist to relax her muscles.

Shen Jun had just finished writing a set of code. He got up and stretched his body. Looking at the clock on the wall, it was almost one o’clock. He took out a sandwich and milk from the fridge and said, “Wen Nian, let’s have lunch first.”

Wen Nian turned around and said, “You can eat first. I will eat later.”

Seeing this, Shen Jun ignored her. He took out his phone and ate while replying to messages.

Wen Nian noticed the astronomical telescope next to her and became curious about how far it could see. With Shen Jun’s permission, she opened the lid in front of the lens.

The telescope happened to be pointed towards the empty space in front of the building, and as Wen Nian looked through it, she saw Wei Feng walking with a bald man who had a tiger head tattoo. She could see them very clearly.

The man with the tiger head tattoo was walking half a step behind Wei Feng, and appeared to be in his thirties or forties. Seeing this, Wen Nian recalled something that Wen Yu had once told her.

In her previous life, Wen Nian’s parents had been hit by a huge rock at a construction site and died. At the time, Wen Yu had wondered why it was such a coincidence that they had been hit at the same time and that there was only one eyewitness at the scene. However, the police eventually determined that it was an accident.

When Wen Yu went to the construction site to look for the eyewitness, the other party had already left. The foreman was worried that Wen Yu would cause trouble, so he said that the police had compensated him 200,000 yuan and concluded that the matter was settled. He was unwilling to reveal anything else.

One of Wen Xing’s colleagues took pity on Wen Yu and secretly told him that the person had a tiger head tattooed on his head and was nicknamed Big Tiger.

However, At the time, Wen Nian was avoiding this because she felt so guilty. She heard Wen Yu’s doubts but she was distracted and did not take it to heart. If she had not seen this guy with her own eyes, she would not have recalled this.

Wen Nian felt her heart pounding. She clenched her fists and went into the kitchen to fill a bag with flour. Then she picked up the bag and said as she walked out of the door, “Shen Jun, I’m going out for a while. I’ll come back later.”

Shen Jun looked at Wen Nian’s anxious expression and asked, “Do you need my help?”

Wen Nian shook her head, closed the door, and opened the fireproof door to the safe passage beside her. She quickly descended to the tenth floor. In order to enter the tenth floor through the safe passage, she had to open the fireproof door with a password lock from the outside.

Wen Nian pinched a small handful of flour and placed it on the LCD panel. Then, she blew gently. The traces of flour on the six number keys were heavier. Wen Nian pressed a set of numbers according to the finger marks with different depths.

Wen Nian’s lips curled up slightly when she heard the soft sound of the lock being unlocked. She was glad that her ten years in prison had not been in vain. She wiped the flour with a tissue.

Wen Nian knew that there was a cleaning lady in the Wei Family’s house and was feeling frustrated about how to sneak in. Through a crack in the door, she saw the auntie carrying the trash out of the house.

When they entered the elevator, Wen Nian used the same trick to enter the Wei residence.

Wen Nian had been to the Wei residence many times in her previous life and knew the layout very well. The study was located at the end of the second floor. Wen Nian walked to the door with familiarity and gently turned the doorknob, opening it just a crack. Through the opening, she could see the two of them talking, but unfortunately, their voices were too soft for Wen Nian to hear clearly.

“Ding.”

The ringtone of a message sounded and Wen Nian broke out in a cold sweat.

“Who was that!” Wei Feng’s deep-sounding voice rang.
