Chapter 197 Did Lin Wanwan change her surname and even her gender?
Upon hearing Zhou Yang's words, everyone turned to look.
Shen Zechuan asked directly, "What did you remember?"
“That Zhang Wan!” Zhou Yang frowned. “Her name isn’t Zhang Wan at all; it should be Lin Wanwan!”
Shen Zechuan frowned: "Lin Wanwan? Who is that?"
Zhou Yang looked at Shen Zechuan: "When we moved to your apartment complex in the city, a woman blocked our way and asked for our way. When she heard that we refused to take her with us, she started cursing and even insulted Wandou. She also threatened to kill Wandou. That woman was Lin Wanwan, who is Zhang Wan, whom we see today."
Because a year has passed, and she's lost a lot of weight and her demeanor has changed considerably, I didn't recognize her. Don't you all remember her?
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Chai Jin, who was standing next to him, also remembered it, so he scratched his head and said, "It seems that there was such a thing. But we were all sitting in the car at the time, and the woman was heading towards Brother Chuan's car, so we didn't get a good look at what the woman looked like."
Lu Xingye and the others nodded in agreement.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at Shen Zechuan and teased, "Tsk, it's fine if we don't remember, but that woman specifically stopped your car and you didn't recognize her?"
“I didn’t even look at her properly that day, and besides, I didn’t even know her. Who knows why she had the nerve to stop the car?”
Shen Zechuan rolled his eyes at him, then grabbed Zhou Yang's hand and explained, looking pitiful.
"This woman has nothing to do with me. I can't even remember her. You're the only one I have eyes for!"
"Tsk, stop spouting those love-struck nonsense!"
Zhou Yang rolled her eyes at Shen Zechuan and, unable to bear it any longer, withdrew her hand.
Tsk, how come I never noticed before that this man is a bit of a performer? I'm thinking of returning him.
Seeing that it had the opposite effect, Shen Zechuan coughed lightly and quickly sat up straight, afraid that Zhou Yang would find him even more displeasing.
Yan Fei pondered for a long time before suddenly interjecting, "If her name should be Lin Wanwan, then why is she called Zhang Wan now? Also, she should know us, so why is she pretending not to know us and deliberately getting close to Aunt Yu Jing? Isn't she afraid that we'll recognize her and kill her?"
“I thought it was strange before, but I didn’t take it seriously. Now that I think about it, it really doesn’t feel right.”
Xu Zhiyi then took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him for some time.
"My mom said she lives alone with her grandma, but she doesn't seem like someone with superpowers. I heard her grandma is just an ordinary person. But look at her, in her white dress and with her long hair, she seems to be doing quite well. How do you think an ordinary person like her manages to do that?"
As soon as Xu Zhiyi brought up the issue, the group immediately thought of the women in the red-light district of the capital base.
After all, what other way can an ordinary woman in the apocalypse live a good life? So the group generally felt that Lin Wanwan, who was also Zhang Wan, should be the same person.
“Let’s check again,” Zhou Yang said after thinking for a moment, then called out to Yan Fei, “Go back and check this woman’s registration information with the military, and it would be best to also check people associated with her. I have a feeling this woman is not simple.”
Yan Fei nodded: "I think so too. I'll go ask my uncle in a bit."
Zhou Yang and the others didn't hide their conversation from others, but Xu Qingtang and the others, seeing the group discussing things so earnestly, silently ate sunflower seeds and didn't dare to say a word.
Yu Jing was especially startled when she heard Zhang Wan not call her Zhang Wan. Later, when she heard that Zhang Wan might have approached her with a purpose, she patted her chest and sighed inwardly at how unpredictable people's hearts were in the apocalypse, and decided to go out less in the future.
After Zhou Yang and the others finished discussing, he turned to Yu Jing and specifically instructed her: "Aunt, if Zhang Wan contacts you again, try not to have any contact with her. We'll talk about it after we finish our investigation."
Yu Jing nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! I'll try my best not to go out from now on, and I won't see Zhang Wan again!"
……
After the discussion, Yan Fei went straight to the military quarters behind the building and found Gu Tianqi to help him investigate the person.
It wasn't until more than two hours later that Yan Fei returned with a stack of handwritten documents.
Zhou Yang and the others had been waiting for so long that they were almost dozing off. They only perked up again when Yan Fei came in with the documents.
The group took the documents and immediately divided them up to look at them.
Zhou Yang received a basic information sheet for Zhang Wan, which contained all of Zhang Wan's registration information from the base to the present.
It clearly states that when she first entered the base, she registered under the name Lin Wanwan, but she entered the base as the cousin of a certain superhuman. Coincidentally, that superhuman was one of the members of the underground gang that had been wiped out before.
Moreover, Lin Wanwan was subjected to long-term humiliation and abuse by this gang until the gang was uprooted by the base and she was finally rescued.
Afterwards, Lin Wanwan was transferred to a refugee camp in the square. During this time, she met Granny Zhang, an elderly woman who took good care of her.
To repay Granny Zhang, Lin Wanwan recognized Granny Zhang as her grandmother and even changed her name to take Granny Zhang's surname, thus becoming Zhang Wan.
After that, there was nothing left.
Zhou Yang put down the documents and recalled the crazy woman he saw at the trading market, her hateful eyes, the feeling of being stared at by his enemy when he passed through the square after wiping out the gang, and that somewhat familiar back view. In an instant, they all connected.
At this moment, he was even more certain that Zhang Wan had ulterior motives.
"This Zhang Wan is indeed Lin Wanwan, and besides the time in the downtown residential area, I've seen her twice more. I don't think her appearance now is an accident. Have you found anything in your records?"
Xu Zhiyi rummaged through the interview records in his hand: "There's nothing here, it's all praise for her. Some say she gets along well with people, others say Zhang Wan is kind, helpful, and often helps the elderly living alone and orphans in a dormitory."
Shen Zechuan also put down the record sheet in his hand: "This is not very useful to me. The survivors from our community all said they were not familiar with her."
"Tsk." Zhou Yang frowned after hearing this.
Could it be that Lin Wanwan not only changed her name, but also her personality?
Is the apocalyptic grinding method really that effective?
"Is that all the investigation found? Nothing else?" Zhou Yang asked Yan Fei again, unwilling to give up.
Yan Fei shook his head: "It's all here. I also asked the other brothers in the military. After this woman was rescued, she has been well-behaved and often helps the elderly and orphans. She even often helps the men in charge of guarding the military mend clothes. She has a pretty good reputation in the army."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Did you really change your surname and gender as well?" Zhou Yang murmured. "But I still feel like something's off..."
At this moment, Shen Zechuan stroked his chin and said, "I think she seems too innocent. Both in her clothes and in her mindset."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang's eyes lit up: "Yes! That's it! It's so clean!"
Anyone with ulterior motives who, after experiencing the apocalypse, being imprisoned, bullied, and abused, can still act as if nothing happened and not show any signs of wrongdoing, is already doing well enough not to become a juvenile delinquent.
And then you go and act like a pure angel, which just feels incongruous.
Yan Fei added, "We don't know what Zhang Wan is planning at the moment, and it's not really our concern for now. But we should still be careful in the future and avoid contact with Zhang Wan."
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
