Xu Yingchun and the other person also chimed in: “It’s about to start, we have to go now.”

Chen Fangli didn’t really believe that these women gathering for a so-called bachelorette party were just going to watch a band perform. He couldn’t help but ask: “Where is the performance?”

“On West Pu Road.”

Wang Zhao, however, had no reservations and directly said this. After all, West Pu Road was very long, with several bars on the street. There might be several bands performing there tonight. Wang Zhao didn’t believe Chen Fangli would know which bar they were in.

After she finished speaking, she gestured for the other three to hurry up, then left the internet cafe alone. She felt a bit stuffy after sitting inside for so long.

At this moment, Wang Zhao had no idea that the band performance Xu Yingchun invited her to see was not an ordinary one. Meanwhile, after some research, Chen Fangli could figure out which bar they were watching the performance in, and even know what the content of this band’s performance was.

She didn’t know that this casual remark would bring a big trouble. Wang Zhao actually wanted to see what Chen Fangli was up to at this moment, but she didn’t know that this person was quite ruthless.

People’s thoughts are truly unpredictable.

Chen Fangli sat in front of the computer, the screen reflecting his handsome face. He was really good-looking, with a refined Chinese style, a very pleasing face.

Therefore, when he was with Wang Zhao, many people said they looked like a married couple. But some couples who look alike don’t necessarily get married or stay together until old age.

After talking with Wang Zhao that day, Chen Fangli thought he had let go, but everything wasn’t as easy as he thought. For him, truly letting go was too difficult. He still couldn’t control himself and secretly investigated the identity and background of Wang Zhao’s future husband.

He hired a private investigator, so in less than a week, information related to Li Zhenguan was delivered to his private email. It was a large pile of documents, covering Li Zhenguan’s life from elementary school until now.

Of course, the content of the documents wasn’t that detailed. The private investigator wasn’t that capable. After all, Li Zhenguan was from the Li family, and some things weren’t easy to find out. Chen Fangli wasn’t that obsessive either, wanting to know every single thing about Li Zhenguan. He just wanted to get to know Li Zhenguan as a person.

In the photos, he saw Li Zhenguan’s appearance, which gave a completely different feeling from his own. Li Zhenguan’s looks leaned towards delicate. When not smiling, he gave people a sense of distance. This sense of distance was more like a class difference, as if Li Zhenguan’s noble birth made people feel inferior and unapproachable. Wang Zhao, on the other hand, made people feel unapproachable due to her own aura, the aloofness of a high mountain flower.

When Li Zhenguan smiled, he carried a sense of arrogance, with a touch of sunshine. He looked very young, probably in his early twenties.

He looked completely different from what Chen Fangli had imagined. He could never have imagined that Wang Zhao’s future bedmate would be such a person.

A child from a wealthy family?

And still in school.

The document stated that Li Zhenguan had rarely gone to school recently, but he had made a trip to school some time ago, reportedly to distribute wedding invitations, and would be taking a half-year leave from school next year.

There wasn’t anything mysterious about Li Zhenguan, except for one thing that caught Chen Fangli’s attention: this man was studying at Jiangcheng University, and the document mentioned that Li Zhenguan had rarely attended school lately, visiting the hospital once a month, often accompanied by a woman.

Chen Fangli quickly formed a guess, and in fact, the private investigator had also written at the end, suspecting that this person was currently pregnant, approximately four months along. This wasn’t very difficult to investigate; with a little attention, they could find out.

In the document, Wang Zhao, as Li Zhenguan’s fiancée, also appeared in the information. The information stated that the two met during a blind date, and they were once seen leaving a bar together.

The private investigator didn’t investigate Wang Zhao’s information, because Chen Fangli only paid them to investigate Li Zhenguan. So there was only this small part about Wang Zhao, but even this small part made Chen Fangli look for a long time.

Blind date, bar, leaving together.

These three phrases lingered in his mind for a long time. According to the information, it hadn’t been long since they broke up at that time, so what kind of mindset did Wang Zhao go on a blind date with? Why did this woman quit her job at the law firm and decide to take the civil service exam to become a prosecutor?

Chen Fangli couldn’t know all of this.

But he still held a glimmer of hope. He couldn’t help but speculate, was Wang Zhao deciding to marry Li Zhenguan because he was pregnant, not because of love or feelings?

When a person likes someone too deeply, it’s easy to get stuck in a dead end. Chen Fangli couldn’t help but know that Li Zhenguan being able to get pregnant said something to some extent.

He sat at the desk, struggling and hesitating, wondering whether he should take this step. He believed that no man could accept his woman going to such a place to watch performances with sexual implications. At this moment, Chen Fangli wished he could wring out those women like Xu Yingchun and beat them up.

Nothing good ever came from these women getting together. Back in school, they even dragged Wang Zhao to skip classes and watch adult movies together. Don’t think he didn’t know about these things.

Meanwhile, after finishing dinner with his friends, while they were discussing whether to go to a club to play, Li Zhenguan received a text message.

It was a message from an unknown phone number: [She’s at The Shell.]

CC was still saying that the club had just brought in a new batch of people. The person in charge said that several of them were college students, looking very clean, and had never had boyfriends before. They were working part-time there, and he asked if they wanted to go take a look.

The club they were talking about was of course a proper one, like in ancient times where people sold their art but not their bodies. The people there mainly sold their faces, not their bodies. However, if the price was right, there might be people willing to date or even be kept.

Li Zhenguan didn’t care about what CC was saying. His gaze lingered on this message, his eyes darkening, with no light visible in them, his pupils so deep you couldn’t see the bottom.

This “she” undoubtedly referred to Wang Zhao, but what Li Zhenguan was more interested in knowing was who sent this message.

He tried to make a call, but as expected, it showed that the phone was turned off, and no one answered.

CC noticed Li Zhenguan’s distraction and leaned over to glance at his phone screen, of course also seeing that message.
