61: Chapter 61: They actually squandered a winning hand.

Walking out of the hospital gates.

Luo Wei discovered that Xia Ningxue was actually following behind him.

He cast a questioning glance, and Xia Ningxue explained embarrassedly.

"Currently, I'm responsible for public security work; I'm not yet qualified to participate in major cases like Li Taian's."

"A short while ago, I came to the hospital to pass on relevant information because I received a tip-off text message."

"Now that my task is complete, I need to return to my post."

So that was it. Luo Wei extended an invitation to her.

"Let me drive you back."

"Okay!"

Xia Ningxue readily accepted.

Seeing Luo Wei open a car door,

Xia Ningxue was slightly surprised; she naturally knew the price of this car.

It seemed Luo Wei had been doing quite well these past few years and had made some decent money.

Sitting down in the passenger seat, she immediately looked around, wanting to find something belonging to a girl.

Finding nothing, she felt a bit happy inside, but she had to make sure.

"Um, do you not have a girlfriend yet?"

"Not yet, I'm too poor, no one is interested in me."

"Nonsense!" Xia Ningxue grumbled happily in her heart.

"What about you, Police Beauty?" Luo Wei asked back. "You must have many suitors, right?"

"That's right, but I don't like any of them!" Xia Ningxue's tone carried a hint of pride.

Others thought she had high standards, but that wasn't actually the case.

Her gaze fell on Luo Wei. "Hey, where are you living now?"

"Also, Yaoyao should be in college by now, right?"

"I wonder if she still remembers me..."

Having had no contact for years, Xia Ningxue was eager to know about Luo Wei's experiences over the years.

Luo Wei narrated while driving, and Xia Ningxue watched him intently, listening seriously.

Until they arrived at her workplace, she dallied, not really wanting to get out of the car.

She muttered resentfully, "Honestly, why were you driving so fast?"

Luo Wei smiled and egged her on, "How about you take some time off and I'll take you for a spin?"

Xia Ningxue was tempted, but ultimately reason won over impulse. "A lot of bad things have happened recently, and I have a lot of work to handle."

"I see..." Luo Wei didn't feel it was a pity. "Whenever you're free, you can ask me out anytime. I'm available at your beck and call!"

"Mm!" The promise of being at her beck and call made Xia Ningxue's heart feel exceptionally sweet. "Then I'll get to work."

"Stay safe, don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"Mm."

She stepped out of the car.

Xia Ningxue waved her small hand reluctantly.

She really hadn't expected to meet Luo Wei this way after so many years.

Luo Wei was even more handsome than before, and he had a mysterious aura about him!

Most importantly, he actually didn't have a girlfriend yet!

This was wonderful news!

After parting with Xia Ningxue,

Luo Wei drove forward for a distance and then pulled over to the side of the road.

He wanted to take out the ring Li Taian had given him from the inventory to see if it had undergone any changes.

At that moment, the phone placed to the side rang, the screen displaying a call from an unknown number.

Not knowing who was calling, Luo Wei chose to answer.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, I am Yang Wenying."

A slightly playful voice came through the receiver.

Who was Yang Wenying?

Luo Wei was one hundred percent certain he didn't know the other person!

However, he immediately remembered the third piece of intelligence provided by the system!

'Yang Wenying plans to ask you for a loan!'

"I know, you definitely don't know me..."

Yang Wenying's voice came over the phone in explanation, "My sister is Yang Qian."

"Yang Qian?" Luo Wei recalled carefully; he had a faint impression of this name.

Unfortunately, he couldn't remember exactly who Yang Qian was for a moment.

"Sorry, I don't know Yang Qian."

"..."

Yang Wenying was instantly speechless.

Worried that Luo Wei would hang up, she quickly continued to explain.

"You must know Tang Hui, right? He was your good buddy who shared a dorm with you in college. He's my brother-in-law."

"Oh..." Luo Wei immediately remembered that Yang Qian was Tang Hui's girlfriend.

Tang Hui also came from the countryside, and Luo Wei had a very good relationship with him.

During his junior year, he had gotten his girlfriend Yang Qian pregnant.

The two got married before graduating from college.

Supposedly, Tang Hui inherited his father-in-law's factory.

Since graduation, Luo Wei had been busy looking for work and running business leads.

He hadn't attended any class reunions, and naturally grew distant from his former classmates.

Luo Wei really hadn't expected Tang Hui's sister-in-law to contact him suddenly.

"Yang Wenying, is it? What do you want from me?"

"Well..." Yang Wenying on the other end of the phone was a bit embarrassed.

She naturally wanted to borrow money from Luo Wei, but she was too embarrassed to bring it up over the phone.

"Are you free? Let's meet up, okay?" Yang Wenying's tone was somewhat humble and pleading.

"No problem, name a place and I'll head over immediately." Handling this matter would earn him intelligence points, so Luo Wei naturally had no reason to refuse.

On the other side of the phone, Yang Wenying gave an address and then stood by the roadside, waiting anxiously.

Although Luo Wei had answered very straightforwardly, he might not necessarily come.

Yang Wenying waited for a full ten minutes or so.

An expensive domestic electric car slowly pulled up beside her.

The window rolled down, and she saw Luo Wei sitting in the car.

She waved her hand excitedly.

Yang Wenying was dressed in hot pants paired with a tight T-shirt.

She looked youthful and beautiful, giving off an energetic vibe.

Seeing that energetic girl, Luo Wei remembered he had seen Yang Wenying when he attended Tang Hui's wedding.

Of course, Yang Wenying was only fifteen or sixteen back then.

Yang Wenying naturally also remembered that she had seen Luo Wei.

Luo Wei back then, although also very handsome, was somewhat thin and scrawny.

The current Luo Wei had a tall and straight posture, was dressed impressively, and his handsome face was even more striking.

"Hi!" Yang Wenying blushed and waved her hand rather shyly.

"Long time no see." Luo Wei smiled and stepped out of the car.

Yang Wenying felt a surge of joy, realizing that Luo Wei remembered her.

Luo Wei glanced at the Urban Village located nearby; he couldn't understand why Yang Wenying had asked to meet him in this place.

"Are you facing some difficulties?" Luo Wei recalled the intelligence provided by the system.

"I'm not facing difficulties," Yang Wenying quickly explained.

"It's my sister who is in trouble."

"Hmm?" Luo Wei frowned. "What happened?"

Yang Wenying explained helplessly, "A few years ago, our family's factory suffered serious losses."

"That guy Tang Hui not only failed to focus on the factory but instead developed a gambling addiction and gambled away the entire family business."

"Although my sister has already divorced him, creditors still come to the door from time to time to demand payment!"

"Can you imagine?" Yang Wenying reached out and pointed toward the Urban Village nearby.

"My sister is actually living in a rented place like that!"

Luo Wei really couldn't imagine such a thing!

Yang Qian was a girl from a wealthy family!

Back then, Tang Hui's success in winning her over and inheriting his father-in-law's factory was the envy of countless people!

Who could have thought that Tang Hui would actually ruin such a winning hand..."
