Suddenly, Shen Jun’s eyes lit up as he thought of something. “There was a little boy outside the small black room that was locked up at that time. He should be four or five years old. When he saw us on the first day, he gave me a milk candy and wanted to save us. However, he was too young and couldn’t open the door at all. The next day, he found someone. It sounded like his brother? He wasn’t old either. The two of them created a lot of noise outside and diverted the kidnapper’s attention. Only then did we escape.”

“Little boy?” Wen Nian deflated. It really wasn’t her. She didn’t remember coming to the capital when she was young, let alone a little boy.

“That’s right. His hair is short, and he has snot running down his nose. He’s also dressed sloppily. I wonder if he’s a little beggar nearby?” Shen Jun’s words were a little disdainful, but there was a smile on his face.

Then, he said regretfully, “He probably saved up the milk candy for a long time, right? At that time, he was still injured. I saw him using this big stick to hit a man with difficulty and was kicked a few times by the other party. He kept shouting for me to run. I was too afraid at that time and saw his brother carry him and run. I didn’t dare to follow.”

Wen Nian sighed in her heart. It seemed that she had died in vain in her previous life. There was no such recollection in her childhood memory, and the little boy Shen Jun was talking about was not her. Jiang Chun might have listened to Huang Yue or Wei Xiao’s slander, causing Wen Nian to become a corpse.

Seeing her disgusted expression, Shen Jun held her hand. “Why are you asking this? Do you think this has something to do with Jiang Chun?”

Wen Nian could only nod and swallow his words.

“At the moment, it looks like Yang Ting is putting all her eggs in one basket, but it doesn’t mean that the Jiang family isn’t involved.” Shen Jun sat on the bed and gently hugged her. “I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation.”

Wen Nian fell asleep at some point. When she woke up, she saw Zhao Kai’s face.

“Do you want some water?” Zhao Kai handed her a thermos flask. “If you don’t wake up soon, I’m going to starve to death here.”

Wen Nian took the cup and drank the warm water. She still felt dizzy. She looked around but didn’t see Shen Jun.

Zhao Kai took the cup and placed it aside. “Don’t look anymore. The Shen Corporation’s shares fell to the limit today. He went back to help his family. I bought porridge and brought you some food. Do you want some?”

Wen Nian didn’t have much of an appetite to begin with, so when she heard this, she didn’t want to eat anymore. Hence, she shook her head.

However, Zhao Kai had already opened the lunch box. “I’ve been guarding you for three hours. Can you at least eat with me? I really can’t eat alone.”

Wen Nian pursed her lips helplessly. Zhao Kai had already placed the porridge in front of her, and she barely took a sip.

Seeing that she had eaten the porridge, Zhao Kai was slightly relieved and also ate.

He was used to eating quickly in the army. Before Wen Nian could finish half a bowl of porridge, he had already finished it and even cleaned up.

“Do you usually eat like this? Are you a hungry ghost reincarnated?” Wen Nian was a little speechless. Didn’t he say that he brought her food? He ate quite well himself.

“It’s shameful to waste it. I don’t think you want to eat it either. I’m just trying not to waste food.” Zhao Kai took out fruits. “Replenish your vitamins and eat some porridge. My sister loves grapefruit. I’ve already peeled it.”

Seeing that the peeled grapefruit in the fast-food box was crystal clear, Wen Nian picked up a piece and placed it in her mouth. The sour and sweet taste was just right, and she was quite happy to eat it.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, Zhao Kai asked proudly, “It’s so delicious? Do you like grapefruit?”

Wen Nian picked up another piece and nodded. “I like peeled grapefruit. I can’t be bothered to peel it. I don’t have the strength. I can’t peel the grapefruit skin every time.”

“Then it won’t be difficult for me to peel it for you in the future.” After saying this, Zhao Kai stole a look at Wen Nian. Seeing that she had picked up another grapefruit and didn’t seem to care, he was relieved.

“Is this the benefit of having a younger brother? Indeed, it is best to be a sister. My brother never peels grapefruit for me,” Wen Nian said with a smile. “However, he treats me very well and lets me bully him.”

Not only did he treat her well, but he also died for her in his previous life.

Seeing Wen Nian suddenly become sad, Zhao Kai thought that she had been homesick after experiencing so many things. Hence, he quickly said, “I heard that the Agriculture and Food Exhibition is coming to the capital. Your parents will be coming too, right?”

“Really?” Wen Nian was a little excited and almost choked. She coughed violently again.

Zhao Kai quickly patted her back and handed her a glass of water. “Why are you so excited to see your Mom and Dad? You’re really amazing. You can even choke on your words..”
