“She’s at The Shell? Who is this ‘she’?” At first, CC was a bit confused, but then he couldn’t help but comment, “I’ve been to The Shell, it’s quite fun, but there are more foreigners. The performance isn’t as good as abroad, the performance is too sloppy.”

“This ‘she’ couldn’t be referring to Wang Zhao, right?” CC noticed that Li Zhenguan’s expression wasn’t quite right and made a guess, “Your Wang Zhao doesn’t seem like the type to go to such a place.”

She looks too proper, like a high mountain flower. That place is a mixed bag, with too many foreigners. The last time he went, someone took advantage of him, and they almost got into a fight.

Li Zhenguan put away his phone, preparing to leave by himself first. Regardless of who sent this message, he definitely needed to go to the place mentioned in the text to take a look.

However, Li Zhenguan had never been to this place before and wasn’t very clear about what kind of place it was. Just hearing CC say he had been there a few times, he could guess what kind of place it was.

His face looked even worse.

The others looked at each other: “Don’t be in such a hurry, think about it, whoever sent you this text definitely doesn’t have good intentions, it could be some man who sent it.”

However, another man said: “It’s hard to say, maybe Wang Zhao has been secretly messing around with some troublesome people behind our Zhenguan’s back. This person might have bad intentions or good intentions, but it shows that Wang Zhao isn’t as simple as she appears on the surface.”

Li Zhenguan wasn’t in the mood to guess with these people what kind of person Wang Zhao was. He knew Wang Zhao better than anyone, and he wouldn’t let them judge her so casually. So Li Zhenguan stood up expressionlessly, no longer paying attention to these people, calling the driver while walking outside.

CC and the others quickly chased after him: “Zhenguan, walk slower, you’re pregnant now.”

Li Zhenguan thought of the child in his belly, and his chaotic mind finally calmed down. After hanging up the phone with the driver, he stuffed the phone into CC’s hand: “Call Wang Zhao.”

CC was dumbfounded: “What?”

The others also reacted: “Quickly, call Wang Zhao, just say that Zhenguan accidentally fell down the stairs just now and is feeling a bit unwell.”

“Mm, say his stomach hurts a bit.” After a brief exchange of glances, the three men quickly decided and urged CC to say.

CC looked confused but said: “This doesn’t seem right. If Wang Zhao finds out, she’ll definitely be angry, and it’s not auspicious to use the child in Zhenguan’s belly as an excuse.”

Li Zhenguan’s face was expressionless, his eyes black. He stood outside the door, looking at CC who was holding the phone: “No need to say anything about the child in my belly, just say I accidentally drank an alcoholic beverage and now I’m feeling a bit unwell, a bit feverish, don’t know if it’s an allergic reaction or what.”

After saying this, he said: “Alright, call her. If she asks anything else, just say you don’t know. If she asks where we are, just say we’re in this shopping mall.”

CC wanted to cry but had no tears. He really wasn’t good at lying, but under the gaze of his friends, he still dialed the number.

However, after the phone rang for a while, no one answered. Under Li Zhenguan’s increasingly dark expression, CC dialed again, and sure enough, still no one answered.

Under everyone’s gaze, he tremblingly explained: “That place is like that, the music is very loud, probably Wang Zhao can’t hear the phone ringing right now, and when I went in, recording was prohibited, so if Wang Zhao is really in that place, it’s really difficult for us to contact her.”

Li Zhenguan wasn’t reassured. Although he knew Wang Zhao wouldn’t do anything out of line, he couldn’t help but worry about Wang Zhao’s too outstanding face. He remembered one time when he rushed to a bar after receiving news, Wang Zhao was slightly drunk and surrounded by many men. If he hadn’t arrived in time, who knows if she might have been taken away by some strange man.

The more he thought about it, the more Li Zhenguan’s heart couldn’t calm down. In the end, his face had darkened as if water was about to drip down.

He pulled the phone out of CC’s hand, walked out of the restaurant, and headed towards the parking lot.

CC and the others didn’t keep up with his pace.

Although Li Zhenguan understood the intention of this call, he still had to go there in person. However, before getting in the car, he still made a call to Li Zhenwei.

“Sister, help me check a phone number. I want to know who the owner of this number is. If you can’t find out, it’s okay, find a reliable person to help me investigate Chen Fangli.”

On the other end, Li Zhenwei had just finished a meeting. Some of the company’s employees had already left work, with only a few employees still in the office. Li Zhenwei gestured to her assistant that there was no need to work overtime today and told her to go home first, then shrugged her shoulders.

“What’s wrong, did someone provoke you?”

Li Zhenguan smiled: “No, no one provoked me, just provoked Wang Zhao.”

Li Zhenwei couldn’t help but laugh, thinking of her sister-in-law’s face, she couldn’t help but be speechless. Shaking her head, she joked: “Is there a difference between provoking Wang Zhao and provoking you?”

“Alright, send me the phone number and I’ll have someone check it for you. And who is this Chen Fangli?”

Li Zhenguan closed the car door, instructed the driver where he wanted to go, and then said to Li Zhenwei: “Wang Zhao’s ex-boyfriend.”

Li Zhenwei was silent for a moment: “Zhenguan, I’ll help you with this kind of thing just this once. Don’t do this kind of thing again in the future. Wang Zhao has her own pride. If you have any concerns, just ask her directly. She’s not the type to hide things from you. There’s no need to investigate secretly. If she finds out, it won’t be good for your relationship.”

Li Zhenguan didn’t care much. This time he investigated Chen Fangli because he was forced by the situation. Perhaps it was a man’s sixth sense, when he saw this text message, his first instinct was that it was sent by Chen Fangli.

Wang Zhao had only been in this one relationship, and Chen Fangli’s jealousy wouldn’t be weaker than his. Back then, Wang Zhao didn’t even have a single flower or blade of grass around her at university. Why was that? It was because Chen Fangli controlled her so strictly. Throughout the four years of university, Wang Zhao was surrounded by him, and no one of the opposite sex could get within three meters of Wang Zhao.

Li Zhenwei immediately noticed the indifference in Li Zhenguan’s words. Sometimes her brother’s personality was really too obsessive. Their mother had worried a lot, and even she would occasionally get a headache. But when Li Zhenguan acted coquettishly, it would soften people’s hearts. The whole family spoiled him, who had the heart to scold him?

Li Zhenwei finally said: “Don’t make things too ugly. The wedding is in a few days. You don’t want the wedding to be ruined, do you?”

She had interacted with Wang Zhao a few times. This person was truly capable of great things. If it weren’t for Li Zhenguan’s pregnancy, their marriage might not have happened. Moreover, she somewhat doubted how these two got together. However, since her brother was pregnant, Wang Zhao had to accept this marriage whether she wanted to or not. No matter how much Li Zhenwei criticized Li Zhenguan, he was still her own brother.

She had a scale in her heart.
