Fu Chen held the photos in his hand and found a seat to sit down. He flipped through each photo and studied them seriously.
The private investigator was feeling guilty to begin with. Since they could find him, they naturally weren’t ordinary people. He raised his hand and roughly wiped the cold sweat off his face.
“This has nothing to do with me. I was entrusted with the task by someone. I just took money to accomplish it.”
“F*ck you!” Duan Linbai picked up the folder at the side and slapped his face twice. “You almost ruined my lifetime of innocence. Can you afford to compensate me for my reputation?
“I’ve been living so cautiously every day. You almost screwed me up badly!
“Who asked you to follow her?”
“I can’t say that! This is customer privacy,” the man responded evasively. The Xiao family was a rich family in Nanjiang, so he couldn’t afford to offend them.
“Oh my. Damn! You’re quite professional. Don’t you think so? I’ll call the police right now. You should still have a lot of good stuff here. Illegal stalking… How many years do you want to be put behind bars?” Duan Linbai patted his face.
“Since I can find you to your place, I can naturally find out who hired you as well.
“You’re not a good person if you’re doing such things either. Don’t pretend to be so righteous with me here.” Duan Linbai chuckled.
“I…”
“Are you f*cking going to tell me or not? Do you want me to beat you up?” Duan Linbai was furious.
If these photos got out, it would be disastrous.
“Xiao Jingan,” Fu Chen said.
Duan Linbai frowned. “Which little punk is this? Do you know him?”
Fu Chen shook his head. The person who had tailed them had already turned pale. Since you’ve already f*cking investigated everything, why are you here?
“You already know who it is. Just go straight to that bastard and settle the score with him. Why did you come here?” Duan Linbai bore an aggressive posture, looking as though he was going to look for the person to fight.
“I want to see what he has and how big the scale is.” Fu Chen took out a few photos. They were all photos of Song Fengwan. These angles are good. I can keep them.
“Since you already know, why did you look for me? I just did it for the money,” the man said sheepishly.
“Are you two still meeting?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at the person opposite him.
The man’s heart skipped a beat. “N-no…”
“When someone hires a private investigator, in the end, the investigator will definitely hand over the entire archive of negatives. Only then will the other party be able to settle all the remaining payment. Your things are all here.” Fu Chen threw the photos on the table.
His gaze was gentle as he looked at him with a smile on his face. The PI’s petty tricks seemed so comical and laughable to him.
He had seen all kinds of people before. The person in front of him had to be very astute.
“What time do you meet?” Fu Chen stroked his prayer beads.
“Aren’t you making things difficult for me here?” The man was flustered and could only force himself to calm down. “You can go find Young Master Xiao directly. It really has nothing to do with me. I really don’t know what he wants to do either. I was only responsible for following and taking photos.”
“Do you know who she is?” Duan Linbai picked up a photo and placed it in front of him.
The man gulped nervously. Since he was following Song Fengwan, he had naturally investigated her background. “I know.”
Duan Linbai smiled at him. “Since you know, how dare you touch the Yan family? If I drag you to the Yan family now, Yan Wangchuan will probably kill you.”
“Two in the afternoon.” The man’s lips trembled, and he immediately corrected himself.
“Meet him as usual.”
“Then give him these photos?” The man was puzzled. What is this person up to?
“Mhm.” Fu Chen nodded.
Caught in a bind, he had no choice but to listen to Fu Chen’s arrangements.
…
At two in the afternoon, he met Xiao Jingan at a secluded cafe. He attempted to tell him about him being threatened, but he had a listening device on him, so he didn’t dare.
Those people obviously weren’t easy to deal with, and he couldn’t offend either side. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to play possum.
“… Is everything here?” Xiao Jingan took the paper bag that was full of photos.
“Yeah.”
“Here’s a hundred thousand yuan.” Xiao Jingan handed him a check.
“I only want fifty thousand. This is too much.” The man looked at the amount on the check, and his eyes still lit up.
“You still have to help me do something tonight.”
“What?”
“Just take a few photos. It’s easy for you.”
“Who?”
“Still the same girl. I’m meeting her tonight. I’ll inform you when and where later.”
“Is it really that simple?”
Xiao Jingan smiled. “It’s that simple.”
On the other side, Fu Chen and Duan Linbai were sitting beside the listening equipment. The two of them looked at each other and seemed to guess what the other party wanted to do.
He probably wanted to take some dirty photos and continue threatening Song Fengwan.
“F*ck, Third Fu, this bastard is too shameless. Beat him up. Let’s go—” Duan Linbai rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush out.
“Why is this shameless asshole so despicable?
“What’s in his head? It’s so filthy.”
…
Fu Chen narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint shining in them.
***
On the other side…
Because Xiao Jingan and Mrs. Xiao wanted to impress the Yan family, after they finished shopping in the flower market, they had lunch together and specially sent Old Madam Yan and Song Fengwan home. Yan Zhihuan naturally brazenly followed them back.
After all, what had happened before was their own family’s business. Yan Zhihuan was also a girl, so Old Madam Yan left her some face and let her in, not embarrassing her in front of the Xiao family.
After returning, Old Madam Yan went back to her room to rest. There were only Song Fengwan and Yan Zhihuan in the living room.
Song Fengwan’s phone vibrated. It was Xiao Jingan’s call. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly looked at Yan Zhihuan.
Yan Zhihuan had been observing her all this time. She wanted to find an opportunity to warn her not to have any ideas about Xiao Jingan. At this moment, their eyes met, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging.
Song Fengwan ran to an empty spot with her phone in a bit of a panic.
Yan Zhihuan frowned. Why is she acting like a thief? Is she secretly doing something bad?
Just as she followed her, she heard Song Fengwan call out sweetly, “Big Brother Jingan~”
She was thunderstruck.
This brat! Who allowed her to call him big brother? And she’s still behaving so intimately. She’s only been here for a few days, yet she’s already snatching my man! She’s indeed a little vixen.
The sunlight shone over diagonally, casting Yan Zhihuan’s shadow over. Song Fengwan narrowed her eyes. This moron hides her head but doesn’t even know how to hide her tail.
“Huh? Do we really have to meet tonight? I’m afraid I can’t go out.”
Yan Zhihuan tightened her grip on her skirt, itching to crumple her clothes into pieces. They’re even meeting?
This damn girl.
“At ten p.m. in the coconut grove? The place where we had a misunderstanding last time?” Song Fengwan repeated Xiao Jingan’s words. “It’s too late.
“… Okay then.”
Song Fengwan hung up and turned around to return to the living room. Yan Zhihuan avoided her, ran back to her original seat, and sat down steadily.
“Erm, I still have something to do, so I’m going back first.” Yan Zhihuan got up and hurriedly left without waiting for Song Fengwan to speak.
Song Fengwan lowered her head and stroked her phone.
She knew what Xiao Jingan wanted to do to her. It wasn’t like she had met Fu Chen alone anyway. This kind of thing couldn’t pose a threat to her at all. She had agreed to meet him because she wanted to teach him a lesson.
Whatever Yan Zhihuan wanted to do after hearing the call? She couldn’t control that.
Song Fengwan turned around and returned to her room. Just as she was about to call Fu Chen, he called. “Hello, Third Brother…”
“Xiao Jingan threatened you and asked to meet you tonight?”
“How do you know?” Song Fengwan was stunned. Is he all-knowing?
“What are you planning to do?”
“I…” Song Fengwan explained her plan. “I’m just worried that Xiao Jingan will take revenge on me after this incident and do something drastic. I’m not familiar with this place after all.”
“I’ll take care of the rest for you afterward. And who is Yan Zhihuan?”
“An insignificant person.” Song Fengwan narrowed her eyes and smiled like a little fox. “With you helping me, I’ll definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort. As for Yan Zhihuan, if she doesn’t get involved, it definitely won’t have anything to do with her. If she insists on getting involved, she can’t blame me either.”
Fu Chen chuckled lightly. She made him worry for so long when she was already prepared long ago.
“Wanwan, you’ve been led astray.”
Song Fengwan smiled. “After being with you for so long, I have to learn something.”
“You were already this naughty in the past. Don’t push it on me.” Fu Chen clearly remembered that Song Fengwan had used him to ‘kill’ Cheng Tianyi when she dealt with him.
From the very beginning, he knew that this girl was in no way as innocent and harmless as she looked.
Fu Chen hung up and asked Shi Fang to investigate Yan Zhihuan.
“What did Little Sister-in-Law say? Is she going to show up?” Duan Linbai was sharpening his knives, preparing to kill that annoying bastard.
“She has her own plans. I’ll help her deal with the aftermath.”
Duan Linbai was stunned. She has plans?
What plans can a young lady come up with?
But what happened later terrified Duan Linbai.
He only sighed. These two people are really a f*cking perfect match!
