Chapter 12
Wen Zhi was sent back to his residence by Beisheng.

When they arrived at the door, Wen Zhi invited Bei Sheng to come in and sit down. Bei Sheng declined with a smile: "I have other things to do, so I won't disturb you. You go to bed early."

After saying that, Bei Sheng turned and left.

Wen Zhi stopped her and asked, "Is your name Beisheng?"

Bei Sheng paused and turned around: "Yes, Bei Sheng is my name, and I am the merchant's family doctor. But if you meet me in the merchant in the future, you don't need to call me doctor, just call me by my name."

In the eyes of most people in the business, Bei Sheng is a cold female doctor who has few nice words and is not easy to get close to.

That's because Beisheng doesn't like dealing with them.

But Beisheng liked Wen Zhi very much when he first saw her and was willing to talk to her a few more words, so he asked Wen Zhi to call her by her first name, which meant that the relationship could be close.

"By the way, what about you? What's your name?" Bei Sheng almost forgot to ask Wen Zhi's name. As for why Wen Zhi lives in the merchant, Bei Sheng is not curious for the time being.

"My name is Wen Zhi."

After Wen Zhi said his name, the smile in Beisheng's eyes grew thicker: "I'll come find you another day when I'm free."

After saying that, Bei Sheng's figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Wen Zhi sighed and rubbed his hungry belly: "After struggling for a long time, I didn't get a single hot bite, and I'm even hungrier."

Wen Zhi suddenly looked at the gardenias in the flower bed.

There happened to be a large field of gardenias planted in the flower bed outside her residence, and this was the season when gardenias were in full bloom.

Gardenia seems edible?

Wen Zhi hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but pick a gardenia.

"I admire you during the day, then eat you to satisfy my hunger at night."

She first bit off one gardenia petal without tasting the bitter taste, and then bit off two more petals.

Chen Jinhuai, who came to deliver supper, saw the scene and asked in surprise: "Miss Wen, what are you eating?"

Wen Zhi was startled by the sudden sound and hid the gardenia behind him as if he was guilty: "You haven't eaten anything!"

Chen Jinhuai came over carrying midnight snacks: "Are you eating... flowers?"

Wen Zhi's face was full of embarrassment and he hesitated: "I didn't eat the flowers, so I just smelled them. Are you okay?"

Chen Jinhuai noticed Wen Zhi's embarrassment and did not ask any more questions. He gave Wen Zhi the food box he brought and said, "Here is a midnight snack." Wen Zhi asked inexplicably, "Midnight snack?"

Chen Jinhuai said: "Mr. Shang asked me to deliver it. I don't know the rest. You have breakfast and rest."

After saying that, Chen Jinhuai handed the food box into Wen Zhi's hand, then turned and left.

Wen Zhi stared at Chen Jinhuai's walking back, with the words in his mind - Mr. Shang asked me to deliver it.

"Shang Hexing..."

She whispered the name softly, her eyes wandering slightly.

Just now in the pavilion, her stomach growled with hunger. Shang Hexing heard it. He asked her casually and learned that she went out so late to find something to eat.

After that, she was afraid of getting lost again, so she didn't mention looking for food again.

Unexpectedly, Shang Hexing took note of it and asked Chen Jinhuai to bring her food.

The corners of Wen Zhi's lips curved. Shang Hexing didn't seem to be as scary as the rumors.

……

The next day.

The weather is fine.

When Wen Zhi woke up, he learned from Meng Fan that two things had happened at the merchant.

One thing is that people from the police station came to the business.

Another incident was that Shang Jing was taken away by people from the police station.

You must know that in Baishi, a prestigious family like a merchant will always pay attention to any slightest disturbance. What's more, this time the police came to the door, and the news spread immediately.

Wen Zhi was curious: "What law did Shang Jing commit?"

Meng Fan: "I don't know what kind of laws they broke. I don't know the details. It should be quite serious."

Wen Zhi heard a key word: "Them? Who else went in?"
