At the police station,
Wang Jiancai's mind went blank as he faced the irrefutable evidence.
Some things he had forgotten, yet they could still be dug up?
This evidence was clearer than his own memory.
There was no need for interrogation; he could be convicted directly!
Wang Jiancai's heart was like dead ash; he knew he was done for, at least for the next ten years.
Suddenly, he felt everything he had done was ridiculous.
He had been on tenterhooks for so many years, only to benefit whom? For whom had he made a wedding dress?
For a moment, he wanted to drag everyone down with him, regardless of the consequences.
But then he remembered the slightly threatening words Shi Zhongfu had said at the end and held back.
Other people didn't matter; his two sons were still young, and they absolutely could not be harmed.
That old scoundrel, Shi Zhongfu, was capable of anything.
Inside room 3218 of Binjiang No. 1.
“From now on… you can call me Godfather.”
Shi Zhongfu said with a slight smile to the two young boys Tong Yu had brought.
The two boys were a bit timid, hugging their mother's thigh, half-hidden behind her.
Tong Yu touched the little boy's head, “Brother Fu, why did you ask me to come?”
Shi Zhongfu put away his smile, “Let the children go inside and play.”
Tong Yu immediately had a bad feeling.
She squatted down and said to the two children, “You two, go inside and play. Mommy will talk to Grandpa… to Uncle about some things.”
“...” Shi Zhongfu.
“Oh, okay.”
The two little boys obediently agreed, then held hands and ran into the suite's side hall.
Seeing the children leave, Shi Zhongfu pointed to the nearby sofa and said, “Yu Er, sit down first. I'll tell you slowly.”
Tong Yu sat down uneasily.
Shi Zhongfu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, “Old Wang… has fallen.”
Tong Yu's face instantly changed drastically, “He, he…”
Shi Zhongfu then said, “Don't worry, Old Wang is a smart man. He won't expose you. After all… his two sons are the apples of his eye.”
Tong Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked,
“Old Wang… can he not get out?”
Shi Zhongfu sighed, looking up, and said,
“Alas!”
“At least 10 years. He'll be almost sixty when he gets out.”
Tong Yu lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.
Shi Zhongfu then said, “Old Wang must have offended quite a few people, right?”
Tong Yu's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help but nod, “Old Wang… was arrogant and hot-tempered. He… he did offend quite a few people.”
“Alas, Old Wang, you really didn't leave yourself any way out!” Shi Zhongfu lamented.
Tong Yu suddenly realized that the meaning behind his words… was not simple.
“Brother Fu…”
Shi Zhongfu smiled and got up, sat beside Tong Yu, took one of her hands, and said,
“Yu Er, it doesn't matter if the website is shut down. The server is still there. You must have a way to reopen it, right?”
“Don't worry, with Old Wang gone, we can continue to cooperate.”
“With me here, you and your two children will have no problems in Jinning.”
Tong Yu, who had intended to pull her hand back, stopped…
Once she stepped onto this path, she was destined never to live a peaceful life.
She had no choice.
Seeing that she no longer resisted, Shi Zhongfu slowly pulled Tong Yu up and led her into the adjacent room…
...
The children's noise outside covered the illicit goings-on in the room.
Wang Jiancai, deeply imprisoned, probably never imagined that he would be abandoned and betrayed faster than the damn verdict came down…
Ten minutes later—
Shi Zhongfu walked out of the room with a satisfied expression.
He lit a cigarette, spat out a thick phlegm, and happily drank tea.
Not long after, Tong Yu emerged from the room, her hair disheveled.
“Yu Er, don't worry. From today onwards, you will have more wealth and higher status than Wang Jiancai.”
Tong Yu's face wore an unnatural smile. Since things had come to this, what else could she do?
As a woman with two children, facing so many sworn enemies left behind by Wang Jiancai, it would be strange if she had an easy time.
...
The next day, Chen Xiao received a piece of intelligence and couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
On the day Wang Jiancai was arrested, Shi Zhongfu didn't rush to pull strings or find a lawyer. Instead, he cuckolded him immediately???
“Hahahahahahaha, damn!”
“Truly worthy of being good brothers.”
After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to An Zhong.
【Continue investigating Shi Zhongfu. Also, find a way to let Wang Jiancai know what's happening outside, but do it legally. Just… get him a lawyer…】
An Zhong smiled slightly as he looked at the message.
【Understood, boss!】
...
Wang Jiancai got what he deserved; the incident in the underground parking lot finally had a resolution.
But what role did Shi Zhongfu play in all of this?
Chen Xiao believed he probably couldn't escape responsibility either.
As for Xing Yanqing…
A minor character, no rush.
Anyway, he was still continuously being cuckolded.
For such a mortal enemy, he naturally had to be played with enough until it became boring, and then he would be sent to where he belonged…
The next day, Chen Xiao still woke up early for his run.
After he ran ten laps, he dragged Xia Yudie, who was watching the fun from the side, onto the track.
“Ah~~”
“I can't run anymore…”
“It's okay, I'll pull you.”
“Ah! No…”
Subsequently, the students on their morning run saw two fluttering ponytails reluctantly swinging on the track.
After running two 800-meter laps, Xia Yudie was exhausted, bending over, propping herself on her knees, panting heavily…
“I can't do it, I can't do it… I'm naturally not suited for exercise. If you're so capable, let's play games!”
“...” Chen Xiao.
“Life lies in exercise.”
“If you don't exercise, where does life come from?”
Xia Yudie: “...”
“Why do I feel like there's something wrong with that sentence?”
“Cough cough… No, it's you who's impure. Come on, let's go eat.”
“Hmph!”
Xia Yudie wrinkled her cute little nose, “You big pervert, there's definitely something wrong with you!”
Chen Xiao smiled and pinched her nose. Amidst Xia Yudie's protests, the two playfully walked towards the cafeteria.
A handful of public display of affection unknowingly fed how many single dogs…
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, Chen Xiao found a place to sit, and Xia Yudie ran off to buy some of his favorite breakfast, then came back and arranged them one by one on the table.
Chen Xiao ate in small bites, while Xia Yudie peeled an egg for him.
This scene made Liu Xing, who was peeling an egg for Tan Cheng nearby, extremely envious.
Damn it, when can I enjoy the treatment of being served by a goddess?
That damned Chen Xiao!
After cursing, Liu Xing tentatively said, “Cough cough, Cheng Cheng, I want to eat an egg too.”
Tan Cheng was startled, pointed to the egg next to her, and said, “If you want to eat, just peel it. Isn't there still one?”
“...” Liu Xing.
Not long after, Tan Cheng also saw Chen Xiao eating with the beauty from the Foreign Language Department.
Seeing the unnatural expression on her face, Liu Xing's heart immediately flared with an unprovoked anger.
“Hmph! Eat, eat, eat. You're happy eating now, but I wonder if you'll still be happy after the exam!”
Tan Cheng withdrew her gaze, “Liu Xing, how about… we just forget about it?”
Liu Xing said coldly, “What? Forget about it? Why? You're not… still entangled with him, are you?”
Tan Cheng said angrily, “Who's entangled with him! I just… feel that it's not good to play dirty tricks behind his back.”
“Not good? Others wish they had the ability to play dirty tricks. Just wait.”
After saying that, he crushed the egg next to him and fiercely ate the yolk.
After Chen Xiao finished breakfast, he only saw Liu Xing and Tan Cheng eating together as he got up.
His gaze swept over them casually, without any pause, as if he had seen strangers, and then he took Xia Yudie and walked out of the cafeteria.
Tan Cheng heavily placed her porridge on the table, “I'm full, off to class!”
“Hey, hey… Wait for me…”
Liu Xing was busy with the bun in his mouth, and when he got up, he realized that Tan Cheng was already gone.
“Damn it!”
“Wait, today's Sunday. What class is there?”
...
Today, Chen Xiao planned to go back to Binjiang No. 1 tonight to unlock package C.
But who knew, after leaving the cafeteria, Xia Yudie clutched her clothes, shyly saying,
“Chen, Chen Xiao, the holidays are coming soon, and I won't see you for a long time. Tonight… can we…”
“Yes!”
