Yiyi nodded and said, "At that time, Sister Wu Wan'er looked as if she had suddenly transformed into a different person. The look in her eyes and her movements were completely unlike Wu Wan'er, not even something a woman could do! But..." Yiyi didn't finish her sentence, yet both Wu Wan'er and Shen Zhitao understood what she meant; Yiyi was implying that it was possible Wu Wan'er was just pretending.
"Wan'er, we've been together for quite some time, about three or four years. Although we knew each other before, it was only a nodding acquaintance. There are some things I must say upfront. Yang Mengying is extremely important to Wang Chao, and Wang Chao is the most important person in our lives. If you can understand how we feel, then I can continue," Shen Zhitao said as she and Yiyi sat on either side of Wu Wan'er, gently holding her hand as if they were chatting casually.
Wu Wan'er understood the gravity of the situation. She realized that for Wang Chao, Yang Mengying was almost his life. As she thought about this, even though it went against her own intentions, she couldn't help but remember that it was she who had abandoned Yang Mengying. Tears streamed down her face again; she didn't know how to face Wang Chao anymore and could only nod slowly.
"Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. As members of the Seven Great Families, we all know that you and Zhang Fusheng have been betrothed for a long time!" Shen Zhitao said slowly. "From the moment you were born, everyone knew about your relationship. You’ve known each other for twenty years. If you did this for Zhang Fusheng, we could understand. But you must realize what would happen if others found out—like Big Strong Tang Feng or even the ordinary soldiers under Wang Chao's command. Wang Chao's influence on them is something even he doesn't know about. Even if Wang Chao could forgive you, those people..."
Wu Wan'er continued to cry silently and then said with a choked voice, "But everything I've said is true; I'm not lying! I was truly controlled by someone!"
"But is there really such a powerful method in this world? If that's the case, why didn't he just control Yang Mengying directly and make her jump?" Yiyi always spoke plainly about principles concerning Wang Chao; she never beat around the bush. It was common sense—if someone had such power, why not control someone weaker than Wu Wan'er? At that moment, Yang Mengying could have simply opened her window and jumped from her room instead of going through all this.
Wu Wan'er felt like she had a thousand mouths but couldn't explain herself; it felt like jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't clear her name. If it were someone else, Wu Wan'er might also choose not to believe it. A wave of grievance and sadness surged within her; she never expected that in order to gain her own life and break off her engagement with Zhang Fusheng, others would still see her as belonging to him when in reality, she had only engaged with Zhang Fusheng for Wang Chao.
If Wang Chao woke up, would he believe what she said? Wu Wan'er thought about Wang Chao's condition. Seeing Wu Wan'er fall into silence, Shen Zhitao and Yiyi also remained quiet; some things didn't need to be discussed too deeply—they all understood naturally. Moreover, Wu Wan'er and Wang Chao's relationship wasn't bad; until they fully understood the ins and outs of this matter, it was better not to say too much.
Shen Zhitao sighed and said, "Originally, this matter should have been resolved by Wang Chao himself. However, given his current condition, it's impossible for him to handle it. Therefore, before Wang Chao can resolve this issue, it's best if you don't leave your room. You should be able to accept this."
Wu Wan'er nodded, realizing that Shen Zhitao and Yiyi intended to keep her confined. Was there really no one who could believe her? What would happen if Wang Chao woke up and discovered what happened with Yang Mengying? Would he drive her away or even kill her for Yang Mengying? If Wang Chao got angry enough, it was entirely possible he might do so...
With her mind in chaos, Wu Wan'er thought back to when she had been filled with passion and hoped to be with Wang Chao after leaving Zhang Fusheng—was that truly a good choice? If she had married Zhang Fusheng back then, he wouldn't have met Jian Xiaoqing afterward; would this tragedy still have occurred? Moreover, throughout this time, it seemed like Wang Chao had never realized her feelings for him.
From the moment three years ago when Wang Chao saved her, he had become her prince charming! He was the first person to notice that she needed freedom and autonomy instead of blindly following family arrangements—the first person to tell her stories on snowy nights. That person wasn't Zhang Fusheng who had accompanied Wu Wan'er for eighteen years; it was Wang Chao—the one who always put others on edge and often got seriously injured.
Entering the room, Shen Zhitao lay down on the bed, emptying her mind. All she wanted was to see Wang Chao again, and then, no matter how Wang Chao treated her, she would reluctantly accept it—whether he wanted to drive her away or even kill her, she would leave it to him. Wu Wan'er heard Little Wolf's heavy breathing and realized that Little Wolf had been sent to monitor her; she was indeed under house arrest.
Except for eating and sleeping, all means of communication had been cut off.
Wang Chao, what will you do?
"This matter has come to a pause!" Shen Zhitao said. "We must find Yang Mengying's whereabouts. If we can locate Sister Mengying before Wang Chao wakes up, then we won't have to trouble him..."
Yiyi nodded but then shook her head, saying, "There are two points. First, there are zombies everywhere; all established communication and transportation have been destroyed again. It really feels like searching for a needle in a haystack. Finding Sister Mengying is truly not easy. Second, if what Wu Wan'er said is true, then the person controlling Wu Wan'er can almost certainly be identified as Zhang Fusheng. If Sister Mengying is really in Zhang Fusheng's hands, how can we rescue her? That’s also a problem!"
"You’re right, but we still need to find Yang Mengying's whereabouts first; only then can we solve the remaining issues," Shen Zhitao said helplessly as she looked at the bloodstains left by Wu Wan'er on the floor.
