Chapter 159: Deng Chen
After the transaction was done, the old man sent them on their way. He didn’t make things difficult for them.
Quan Yu and Mo Li came downstairs. Noticing the storm in Quan Yu’s eyes, Mo Li asked directly, “So who was the buyer?”
“Deng Chen, 35 years old, he’s He Sen’s personal driver.” Mo Li was as shocked as Quan Yu was earlier.
Does this mean Nie Li is related to Jiang Li too? Quan Yu shook his head. How is that possible?
Mo Li and Quan Yu said nothing. All they needed to do now was to find Deng Chen. However, before they could start to search for the man, a call summoned them to Pearl River’s Autopsy Institute.
…
“The victim is Deng Liqiang, he later changed his name to Deng Chen.
“He was found dead 3 hours ago, Deng Chen was hiding under an overpass, it was the exact location where we found the homeless man.” Speaking of, the homeless man was confirmed to be an innocent henchman. He was hired by someone to sneak into people’s houses and to steal certain objects. Before he could hand the things over to his employer, whom he had not met, he was already hauled to the station by Ah Si.
Based on the surveillance at the crime scene, after the homeless man was taken in, Deng Chen took over his hovel. One time, a disabled old man shuffled before Deng Chen, the two men shared a look but neither of them said anything.
Deng Chen felt at ease because he didn’t need to fake any conversation to try to build fake relationships. Deng Chen came from a farming village. His mother likes to bring him around the village, getting him to know the other villagers.
Deng Chen was a naturally introverted person. He was scolded many times by his mother because of it. She wanted him to be more outgoing, to greet his elders more often. However, a person’s nature couldn’t be changed by scolding. Deng Chen’s introverted nature was misconstrued as impoliteness and impertinence, for that, he was beaten and berated many times. His childhood made Deng Chen a very insecure person.
The trauma caused Deng Chen to resist interaction with others. He built up walls around himself. He didn’t want to interact with others and subconsciously forced them away. Deng Chen developed social anxiety. He was always alone at work.
Deng Chen’s life was boxed in until he met someone at work and that person was Jiang Li! She had never gossiped about him behind his back like the others. In fact, she actively encouraged and helped him.
Whenever Deng Chen was around her, he felt like a sunflower and she was his sun. She was the only one who could bring out the brightness in him. It was Jiang Li who made Deng Chen believe that there was still warmth in this world.
Deng Chen didn’t mind if he was ostracized as long as he had Jiang Li with him.
However, Jiang Li didn’t want Deng Chen to be trapped inside his own world forever. She actively helped him to try to experience more wonders of the world by encouraging him. Through Jiang Li, Deng Chen’s social life slowly widened.
For example, they attended baking class together. Jiang Li gave him some of her baked products… Deng Chen would never forget the taste of those cranberry cookies. He had never tasted anything so delicious in his life.
With Jiang Li’s help, Deng Chen’s life was slowly returning to normal but at that moment, Jiang Li died!
She died enveloped in the mocking words of the cruel world. Those who mocked her through the livestream were her murderers. It was these people who deprived Jiang Li of her life.
Deng Chen decided to make them pay. However, Deng Chen didn’t know how to find them, he didn’t have the resource to do so.
It was at that moment that his prayers were answered. Someone approached Deng Chen and revealed to him the personal information of Wu Yong, the person who livestreamed Jiang Li’s death. The person even taught Deng Chen what to do for his revenge.
