After Zheng Wenjie left, Su Xuan continued to watch Yue Fan and the woman for most of the morning, until it was noon.
“Yue Fan, I’m a little hungry,” the woman standing next to Yue Fan said. Her face was slightly flushed, and she had just come down from the bungee jumping ride, still feeling the excitement. She wished she could ride it again. However, she patted her stomach and thought it would be better to grab some food first before enjoying more rides. She had just taken a break from her school, and tomorrow she would be back at it.
“Can you take me to eat something delicious?” The woman playfully grabbed Yue Fan’s arm. “My stomach is about to collapse from hunger.”
Yue Fan clearly enjoyed the woman’s playful flirts.. When he heard her request, he immediately nodded and gracefully led her to a nearby restaurant.
Su Xuan had a clear view now. It was evident that Yue Fan and the woman had that kind of relationship.
“Impressive!”
“You’ve just been released not long ago, and you’ve already charmed so many young ladies…”
“With such skills, why didn’t you pick a different career? Is prison food not satisfying enough for you?”
As he spoke, Su Xuan found a balloon vendor’s stand near the shop’s entrance and crouched down. They were investigating Tang Jiajia’s case now, and he didn’t know how long they would have to keep tailing them.
Watching them had become a bit boring as the month neared its end. However, the surveillance was proving to be effective, and Su Xuan’s earlier hunch was coming true.
Exiting the amusement park, Yue Fan and his girlfriend hadn’t even managed to get her into a car when they were stopped by someone.
Tang Jiajia was holding a trash bag and a pair of tongs in her hand, looking just like an old lady collecting trash in the park.
When Tang Jiajia appeared, Su Xuan raised his head. However, there was no sign of his surveillance team nearby. He knew that Tang Jiajia’s disguise must have fooled her colleagues, and he guessed that Tian Yuan was still downstairs, thinking that Tang Jiajia hadn’t left the building yet.
Thinking about this, Su Xuan couldn’t help but feel fortunate. The reason he recognized Tang Jiajia was that his system had started reporting as soon as she appeared. At the same time, the radar marked Tang Jiajia’s position. Her disguise was so convincing that if it weren’t for the system revealing her identity, Su Xuan probably wouldn’t have recognized her. Her makeup skills were indeed impressive!
Yue Fan clearly hadn’t recognized Tang Jiajia at first either. When he saw an old lady collecting trash blocking his way, his expression turned sour. He casually handed over his drink to Tang Jiajia, maintaining a friendly image in front of his girlfriend.
“Auntie, take these two bottles from me.”
Yue Fan’s girlfriend looked at him with sparkling eyes, thinking that her boyfriend was so handsome.
Tang Jiajia clenched her teeth and took the bottles from Yue Fan. As she reached out, her hand accidentally touched the back of Yue Fan’s hand. He suddenly changed his expression and instinctively raised his head. However, Tang Jiajia didn’t look at him anymore and took the tongs to pick up trash elsewhere.
“Yue Fan?”
“Why are you staring at that cleaner?”
Yue Fan’s girlfriend was puzzled when she saw him watching the cleaning lady for so long.
“It’s nothing,” Yue Fan said, but he was feeling uneasy.
Just now, when the old lady got close to him and said, “Thank you,” her voice…
He could never forget that voice in his life!
Could it be…
That woman took his money but didn’t leave Xiangjiang City?
“Um, Xiaoxiang…”
“Sorry, but I just remembered that there’s something I need to attend to at the company. I’m afraid I can’t take you to the station.”
“I’ll call a taxi for you, alright?”
“When you get to the school, send me a message, or I’ll worry, okay?”
Yue Fan quickly explained everything and even escorted his girlfriend to the side of the road, where he raised his hand to hail a taxi.
The turn of events left his girlfriend bewildered.
“Huh?”
“But…”
Hearing Yue Fan’s words, his girlfriend wanted to say something, but before she could finish, Yue Fan had already put her into the taxi he had just flagged down.
“Alright, I’ve got some things to do, so I won’t chat with you anymore. When you arrive, make sure to call me, okay?”
“Be good and call me, or 1’11 worry.”
“It’s about time now. You go ahead.”
“I’ll call the office after you leave and head to school. Study hard for our future!”
He spoke quickly and anxiously. His girlfriend, who had wanted to say something, suddenly found herself at a loss for words. After he finished, all she could do was nod, her face filled with a touch of emotion. She even put her hands inside the car and leaned out to speak.
“I understand, Yue Fan.”
“I’ll definitely call you when 1 get to school.”
“But even if you have to work late, don’t overdo it. We shouldn’t sacrifice our health for money.”
“Please make sure to come home early, okay?”
Hearing her girlfriend’s words, Yue Fan showed a deeply moved expression, vigorously nodding.
“Alright, you go back now.”
“I’ll send you a message when I get to the office.”
“And when you get to school, remember to call me, or I’ll be worried.”
As he spoke, Yue Fan closed the car door. He walked around to the passenger side and thoughtfully paid for the ride. His girlfriend was clearly delighted by these small gestures of kindness, both touched and concerned about her boyfriend spending so much money.
“Bro, you don’t have to spend so much on me. Today at the amusement park, you’ve already spent quite a bit…”
“I can pay for myself…”
Yue Fan had already paid so much so the taxi fare wasn’t a big deal. He paid using his phone, then told the driver, “To Xiangjiang South Station, but please drive slowly. My girlfriend gets car sick.”
The driver was touched by his concern and reassured him, saying, “No worries, I’ve been driving for seven years. I’m a steady driver!”
Yue Fan waved goodbye to his girlfriend as the car drove off. Once it was out of sight, his expression changed.
He turned to see Tang Jiajia, who had been rolling around nearby but hadn’t picked up any plastic bottles.
Yue Fan looked angry and walked over to Tang Jiajia, demanding, “Tang Jiajia, what’s going on? 1 gave you money to leave, didn’t 1? Why are you still here in Xiangjiang?”
Yue Fan was genuinely frustrated. If he had known Tang Jiajia had such a strange mindset, he wouldn’t have pursued her for a bit of excitement.
“You think that small amount of money can make me leave?”
“Yue Fan, you’re dreaming!”
Meanwhile, not far away, a couple was having a heated argument.
At the entrance of a store near the amusement park, Su Xuan bought an ice cream and scanned the area. His eyes landed on Yue Fan and Tang Jiajia. He wished he had some popcorn to enjoy this drama.. Unbelievable! These two are like secret agents with their handovers!
