Wen Li stared at Huo Yuanchen's back in a daze for a while.

Instead of mocking her, he just said "OK" as she said.

He promised that he would think of her often in the future, and her good temper was surprising.

She seemed to have figured out some tricks and knew how to get along with Huo Yuanchen.

In the following days, she would come to take care of Huo Yuanchen at night, and she also learned to use the rice cooker to make porridge for him. When she was too busy with work to come during the day, she would remember to order healthy and low-fat takeout for him according to his taste, and she would also take the time to call him to ask about his condition.

Wen Li felt that if she could do what she did, even a stone would be warmed up by her.

But she always refused to stay overnight at Huo Yuanchen's house, and insisted on returning to her own apartment no matter how late it was.

Her reason was, "You promised me to give me time to think about it."

Huo Yuanchen couldn't do anything about this and could only remind her to be careful on the road every time.

Gradually, Wen Li went from sending messages to tell him that she had arrived home safely to him calling her to ask if she had arrived home yet.

He could probably figure out how long it would take her to drive home, and he would always time it and call her just when she opened the door and got home.

He was just seriously confirming her personal safety with her, but Wen Li would always share some interesting things of the day with him. Even if there was nothing interesting, she would rack her brains to talk some meaningless nonsense.

This is how it is between men and women. Once they start talking about unnecessary nonsense, the pink bubbles between them will gradually increase. Wen Li spoke softly and delicately. When she was not angry with him, her voice was charming to the core.

Just by listening to it, Huo Yuanchen wanted to grab the person, throw him on the bed and give him a good beating.

But the next day, Wen Li met him and behaved properly, cooking, helping him take care of his personal hygiene, and even washing his underwear by hand. He guessed from the side that she still wanted to be with him.

After all, if they didn't really want to be together, who would do this for him and not even be shy about touching his personal belongings?

The look in his eyes when he looked at Wen Li became a little deeper.

But as soon as he got close, she pushed him away and said softly, "Professor Huo, I haven't thought about it yet."

He didn't want to force her and gave her time to think about it.

As soon as she left and returned to her own home, the topics of her conversations with him became more open-minded.

There was even one time when Huo Yuanchen tentatively said on the phone, "How about you lie down on the bed and we have a phone sex?"

He thought Wen Li would be annoyed and hang up the phone in a rage, but she just remained silent for a while, then asked uncertainly, "How do I call?"

Huo Yuanchen taught her, "Lie down on the bed, curl up your legs, and imagine that I am next to you."

He heard footsteps coming from Wen Li's direction, and then she said, "Professor Huo, I'm lying down, please come in."

Just with this sentence, he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to drive to her house immediately and have sex with her.

He began to wonder if Wen Li was taking revenge on him in this way? This feeling of being able to see but not being able to eat was too torturous.

Obviously, Wen Li really thought so.

She remembered that there was an Asian girl in her college class who was very good at dealing with men. She once told her, "If you want a man to really keep you in his heart, you can't let him get you too easily, nor can you be too distant from him. You have to keep him hanging and make him feel that you are interested in him, but not quite there. He can't figure out what you are thinking, so he will naturally think about you more. It's like fishing, you have to be patient."

Wen Li thought, isn’t she fishing now?

However, she did not have full confidence and was worried that she would fish for a long time but would not catch anything. So she had to protect the bait first to avoid losing both the wife and the army.

Her thoughts like this meant that she would not be able to make any further progress with Huo Yuanchen.

Seeing that Huo Yuanchen's injuries were almost healed, her relationship with him was still limited to flirting.

The case in which Zhang Li hired a killer to hit and injure Maggie Cheung and then fled also entered the trial stage. Although the trial was not open to the public, as the victim, Huo Yuanchen accompanied Maggie Cheung to attend the trial.

Wen Li also went there as one of the eyewitnesses.

The part she had to testify was very simple, mainly describing how Michelle Yim was hit by a motorcycle and the whole story of the dinner appointment between the two.

She proved to the court that Michelle Yim's itinerary was planned several days in advance, the time and place were very certain, and Zhang Li had plenty of time to prepare.

The Huo family's servants also proved that Michelle Yim had the habit of writing down important things in a calendar, and the calendar she handed in also clearly marked the restaurant name and dinner time.

This indirectly proves that Zhang Li is very likely to know Michelle Yim's whereabouts.

The chain of evidence is very complete, and Zhang Li doesn't have much room to win.

during the trial . Wen Li went to find Michelle Yim, and when he passed by Zhang Li, he heard her say , "I admit what I did. Don't force me to admit what I didn't do."

Wen Li paused and turned to look at her, "Who forced you to admit anything? Didn't you hire someone to hit Aunt Qi? If you feel you are innocent, tell the judge and see if he believes you."

Zhang Li sneered at her and said, "I did hit someone. If you have evidence, I will admit it. But I didn't do the other thing, and I won't admit it."

"another thing?"

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, remembering that when the lawyer was proving Zhang Li's motive for committing the crime, he mentioned that Zhang Li had deliberately fallen down and put the blame on Michelle Yim, and recently it was discovered that she had deleted the surveillance video at that time, so she was punished by Huo Mingqi, and thus held a grudge against Michelle Yim.

Wen Li asked in a low voice, "You mean, you didn't ask someone to delete the surveillance video of the jewelry store?"

Zhang Li snorted and said, "No one should try to throw dirty water on me for something I haven't done."

Wen Li was silent. Compared with hiring a killer to hit someone, the fact of hiring someone to delete the surveillance footage was not worth mentioning. Whether he admitted it or not would have little impact on the outcome of the trial.

Zhang Li even dared to admit something that violated the criminal law. There was really no need for her to lie for such a trivial matter.

Wen Li chose to believe Zhang Li.

So, after deleting the surveillance footage, there is only one suspect left.

She originally wanted to tell Huo Yuanchen what Zhang Li had just said. As soon as she walked over, she ran into Huo Yuanchen holding his phone and saying to Michelle Yim, "An Wen ordered flowers for you to celebrate your victory. I'll treat you to dinner after the trial is over."

Wen Li's eyes flashed and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

She learned a trick from Huo Yuanchen's method of dealing with Zhang Li. She had to learn to hold back until she had sufficient evidence to prevent the other party from fighting back.
