"Oh..."
After Ah Zhong finished speaking, Zhou Jin Bei gave him a knowing look and winked at him.
"I get it, you snuck out to play without my second brother, right?"
"Is the person behind you my... second sister-in-law? Not bad, you usually seem so serious, I didn't expect you to be so fun too."
"Don't worry, I understand. Is ten thousand yuan enough? Do you want me to give you more?"
What are these girls talking about?
What do you understand?
Second sister-in-law, what are you thinking?
Ah Zhong was speechless at her imagination.
"It's not what you think, I don't know that woman."
"Oh, just give me ten thousand yuan! I'll pay you back as soon as I get back. Don't tell anyone about this, not even Mr. Zhan. Got it?"
Zhou Jin Bei giggled a couple more times.
"Understood, understood, I'll transfer the money to you now. Please show me your QR code."
Ah Zhong then remembered his phone was broken.
Damn it, in this day and age, you can't do anything without a phone.
"My phone fell into the wine last night and is unusable. Can you transfer five thousand yuan to her and settle the bill for me with the rest?"
Zhou Jin Bei was startled.
"You came yesterday evening? And you've been here until now? Not bad!"
"Why give her five thousand yuan? You're so generous to second sister-in-law even with your phone broken..."
Ah Zhong was about to faint from anger. How could he have the leisure to listen to her nonsensical talk?
"I told you it's not what you think, can you stop fantasizing?"
"Please, I'm in a hurry to get back to the company, please be merciful!"
He waved at the blonde woman behind him. The woman came over, Zhou Jin Bei scanned her QR code, and transferred the money.
Watching her walk away with a sway of her hips, she didn't forget to lecture Ah Zhong earnestly.
"It's not that I'm saying this about you, Brother Zhong, but your taste in people isn't very good."
"Look at her hair, her clothes, her taste, she looks like a salon girl. Even if you're tired of being with Sister-in-law, you shouldn't find someone so subpar."
"Don't you think this money was wasted?"
Of course, he felt it was wasted, but what could he do?
When I get back, I'll find the person who scammed me and make them pay me back tenfold!
But Ah Zhong couldn't explain it to her.
Zhou Jin Bei kindly went over and settled the bill for him.
Over 12,000 yuan spent.
Ah Zhong was so angry his heart ached.
"I'll definitely pay you back later. Remember what I said, don't let anyone know. You have fun, I'm leaving."
Saying that, he hurried to leave.
Zhou Jin Bei stopped him again.
"Did you come alone? How did you get here? Did you drive? Can you give me a ride?"
This was the crucial question.
He was so angry when he woke up that he completely forgot about the car.
Where was his car now?
He patted himself down, no car keys.
Damn it. Could that person be so audacious as to have driven his car away?
Ah Zhong had no choice but to shamelessly ask.
"How did you get here? My car seems to have been stolen. I'd like to give you a ride, but I can't."
"..."
Zhou Jin Bei was speechless for a few seconds, then took out her car keys and threw them to him.
"I have a car. I just had a bit to drink, so I can't drive. Since your car is lost, you can drive mine."
They both got into the car, and Ah Zhong started driving skillfully.
Zhou Jin Bei kept looking at him, holding back again and again, but still couldn't help but inquire.
"What happened? How can something like a car get lost? You said you don't know that woman, so you drove all the way here yesterday just for that?"
Ah Zhong finally explained patiently again.
He was just out for work yesterday, encountered an accident midway, and was set up. He didn't know why things turned out this way, and she should stop guessing.
"I really didn't expect something like this to happen to me. If I hadn't met you, I would have had to report it today."
Zhou Jin Bei listened and was indignant.
"If you met me, you should report it even if you had to! Such a big matter, of course, it should be known to the authorities!"
"And you and that woman, did anything happen?"
Ah Zhong was embarrassed for a moment and truthfully said.
"I don't know if anything happened, but she said it did, otherwise she wouldn't have extorted so much money from me."
"Then that's bad. How unsanitary! Will you catch anything? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up and take some post-exposure prophylaxis immediately?"
Ah Zhong hadn't thought of it until she mentioned it.
Now that she mentioned it, he really got goosebumps.
It's definitely not clean! Even if a condom was used! It would be troublesome if he contracted a disease.
"Aren't you in a hurry for your car? Shall I drive yours to the CDC?"
Zhou Jin Bei was being forced by her family to take several cram classes online to brush up on her knowledge, which was extremely annoying.
Taking advantage of the fact that her father and brother were not home yesterday, she sneaked out.
Since she had nowhere to go, it would be nice to hang out with Ah Zhong.
"I'm not in a hurry, let's go, your matter is more important."
They went to the CDC together.
Ah Zhong went directly to the window for disease prevention, and explained what happened yesterday.
He took the post-exposure prophylaxis first, then had blood drawn for testing. The results would be available in two weeks.
After finishing, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Ah Zhong was worried.
"Can I use your phone to call my girlfriend? I didn't go home all night, I'm afraid she'll overthink."
"Of course. I can even testify for you."
Zhou Jin Bei very kindly gave him her phone and watched him make the call.
As a result, when the phone was connected and her voice was heard, she directly hung up on him.
She was really angry, and wouldn't even answer the phone. Ah Zhong anxiously called again.
This time, his girlfriend started scolding him fiercely.
"We've already broken up, why are you still calling me? Ten hours of no contact, and now you've concocted a lie and want to fool me, so you're calling now, right?"
"Zhong, I never realized you were such a scumbag before! Break up! This time, I will break up with you no matter what!"
Ah Zhong patiently listened to her scolding, and after she finished, he quickly explained that he had encountered some accident last night.
His girlfriend didn't believe him.
"Why don't you just say you were filming Infernal Affairs last night! As an assistant, you live like a secret agent every day, and you think I'm an idiot!"
After that, she blocked his number, and Ah Zhong could no longer reach her.
Zhou Jin Bei advised him.
"It's indeed difficult to explain this kind of thing over the phone. Let's talk when you see each other later. Don't get too worked up, you two have been together for so long, it's not that easy to break up."
He hoped so.
Thinking about how his girlfriend would give him the cold shoulder for minor trivial matters, Ah Zhong felt a headache.
"I haven't been to the company all day and I didn't ask for leave, so Mr. Zhan must be worried. I'll call him again."
The call was connected, and upon hearing that Ah Zhong was fine, Zhan Bei Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your car was located last night and was driven to Nan Jiang Hu. I thought you were in trouble."
"It's good that you're okay. We'll talk when you get back."
