852 The Most Wanted Ca (1/2)
Liu Wenying and Welder Zhao lived in the Dongcheng District, not far from the pet shop. Now that Zhang Zian had a car, it wouldn't take long to make a trip to see them.
”Master, what about the customer in the aquarium?” Li Kun asked.
”Explain the situation to them and ask him to wait another day. If Welder Zhao doesn't take it, let's deliver it to the customer's door tomorrow at the discounted price,” Zhang Zian said.
”Okay.” Li Kun nodded and returned next door.
Zhang Zian instructed Lu Yiyun and others, then got in the car with the urn. He headed to Liu Wenying's residential area first. It was inappropriate to visit him with an urn.
Before he drove away, he sent a WeChat message to Zhao Qi, telling her that he was about to deliver the cat's ashes to Liu Wenying. He also asked how Liu Wenying was doing lately.
It was a working hour, but Zhao Qi replied quickly, saying there was no sign of disease after a few days' rest. Liu Wenying's mood was getting better, but to be safe, little Yue Yue was sent to her grandma's place for a few days. Besides, the event was kept a secret to Liu Wenying's relatives––gossip could really hurt people. Many people freaked out at the mention of infectious diseases, especially a very deadly one.
Zhao Qi didn't know anything further. She had been working a lot recently, so she could not visit her at night. She could only greet her online, but she was sure that Liu Wenying had been staying at home. Zhang Zian should be able to find her as long as he visited.
After receiving the news, Zhang Zian was relieved. His biggest concern was finding the house empty after making the trip.
He started the engine, then drove towards the residential area of Liu Wenying and Zhao Qi.
Rush hour had passed. There were not many pedestrians or cars on the street. The traffic was light, so he arrived at the residential area soon.
It was a residential area that was built around ten years ago, so it was neither new nor old. There didn't seem to be underground parking area in the building, so all cars were parked outside. The security was not as tight as new residential areas.
Zhang Zian had never been there before. He slowed down the car and searched for Liu Wenying's building according to the numbers, while he tried to avoid pedestrians.
Most of his focus was on the buildings. He passed by one of the pedestrians. After taking a glance in the rearview mirror, he realized the silhouette was Liu Wenying's.
Zhang Zian stopped the car immediately, then rolled down the window and asked behind him, ”Wenying?”
The person stopped and looked back. It was Liu Wenying herself.
”Oh, it's Zhang. What are you doing here?” Liu Wenying seemed to be a bit lost. She only recognized him after staring at his face for a few seconds. She smiled reluctantly.
Liu Wenying seemed very tired. Her hair was messy and she looked as if she had aged a few years.
Zhang Zian thought she was heading out for groceries, but then noticed it didn't seem to be so. Nobody would go to the grocery store with a steel bat in their hands… It was as if she was about to rob the supermarket.
”Big Sister Wenying, are you going for… baseball?” he asked hesitantly.
”Baseball?” She paused as she heard it, then followed his eyes to the bat in her hand. ”No, I don't know how to play baseball. This is the bat my husband keeps in his car to protect himself… You never know what might happen outside. Keeping a bat in the car is useful to protect yourself, and the police won't mistake it as a dangerous weapon.”
Zhang Zian had sensed that her mood was indeed unstable, and her eyes had lost focus. She didn't answer questions when she was asked, which made him worried about her.
”Big Sister Wenying, do you have anyone else at home? Let me send you back,” he said.
”No. I have other things to do.” She shook her head firmly, then glanced around and held the baseball bat tighter. ”I'll find that stray cat that scratched Fluffy and I'll kill it so that it will stop harming more lives!”
Ever since the first day that Zhang Zian had met Liu Wenying, he knew that she was a very kind, gentle, and mature lady. While she uttered the words, however, her eyes were filled with a rarely seen anger. Her gnawing teeth made her cheeks look skinny and mean and her eyes sparkled with hatred.
As soon as he saw the bat he had kind of guessed her intentions, but the confirmation uttered from her mouth still made him astonished. Apparently, the Siamese cat's death was too much of a shock to her. The fact that she almost got rabies and lost her entire family was too terrifying. In the end, she vented all her anger on that stray cat that scratched the Siamese cat.
Zhang Zian didn't know how to make her feel better. As he was feeling puzzled, someone spoke behind him, ”Big Sister Wenying? Who is this guy? Do you know him?” Their tone was a little rough and unfriendly.
As Zhang Zian looked back, he saw a strong man about as old as him, around 1.9 meters tall, and weighing about 95 kilograms. It was still cold, but he was wearing a short sleeve t-shirt and a blue denim shirt hung casually on his shoulder. The tight t-shirt brought out the perfect curves of his abdomen.
He glanced at Zhang Zian, whom he had never met, with a skeptical face.
Liu Wenying hurried to introduce them. ”This is my friend; he came over to visit me. A Hui, how's everything on your end?”
