It was already past nine in the evening, the night sky was enchanting, and the entire South City was entering its most captivating moment.
What good could come of him calling at this hour?
Especially after what happened in Harbin, Pei Ke Xin could guess what he wanted with her toes.
Without hesitation, she hung up the phone.
But who was Pei Zong Rui?
Extremely shameless, he wouldn't easily give up what he hadn't obtained. Stubbornly, he immediately called again.
Pei Ke Xin hung up, he called again, hung up, called again.
After a few such exchanges, Pei Ke Xin could no longer tolerate it and answered, "What do you want?"
Pei Zong Rui got straight to the point, "Here's an address, come find me now."
Pei Ke Xin retorted, "Didn't you say I have no relation to the Pei family anymore? Why should I go find you?"
Pei Zong Rui was arrogant.
"Because you haven't completely left Pei Shi yet, and I have evidence that is detrimental to you."
"Evidence detrimental to me? What unspeakable thing have I done, pray tell?"
Pei Zong Rui sneered, "Some things, whether you did them or not isn't important, nor is how others see it. What's important is whether there's evidence to prove you did it."
"As soon as I hand this over, the relevant authorities will surely investigate. Pei Ke Xin, aren't you afraid?"
Pei Ke Xin disdained, "I have a clear conscience, I'm not afraid of a crooked shadow. I'm only afraid people won't investigate these baseless accusations."
Pei Zong Rui laughed again.
"You're not an innocent person, so you're just saying that to provoke me. I know you'll come. You cherish your reputation and won't gamble with your future and fate. Therefore, I'll wait for you."
With that, he confidently hung up the phone, and immediately received a WeChat message.
Pei Ke Xin gritted her teeth, looked at the address he sent, thought for two seconds, and called Fu Duo Duo.
Fu Duo Duo was furious and decided to go with her to confront the shameless Pei Zong Rui.
The two got into the same car, and discussed their plan: Fu Duo Duo would wait outside as backup. If Pei Zong Rui had any shameless intentions, Pei Ke Xin would message her, and she would immediately call the police.
The address Pei Zong Rui sent was to the same club. Upon arrival, she pushed open the door to find only him in the spacious private room.
Fu Duo Duo waited in the lounge area on the first floor. She had no mood to play with her phone, holding it tightly in her hand, she sat upright, her eyes fixed on the elevator, ready to call the police and tear into that insane lunatic at any moment.
She sat there idly for about half an hour when the club welcomed a group of distinguished guests.
Accompanied by a loud "Welcome," she turned her head to look.
She saw several imposing figures stride through the club's entrance simultaneously.
The man in the lead wore a black suit, was young and handsome, with an arrogant and cold expression. Behind him followed a man and a woman.
The man was equally tall and dignified, wearing a dark suit, with a tall beauty on his arm.
The couple was a perfect match, and the three walking together looked incredibly opulent and pleasing to the eye.
Fu Duo Duo thought her eyes were deceiving her.
She recognized the man in the lead, the famous successor of the Yao Corporation, the new business magnate Yao Dong Zhuo.
The woman with the proud demeanor beside him was his sister, and the handsome man her sister was holding was Pei Ke Xin's husband, Jiang Jing Chen!
Just a few days ago, he was with Pei Ke Xin in Harbin, being a good man, and now he had latched onto the Yao family's tree. This...
Fu Duo Duo kept staring at Jiang Jing Chen. After a while, it was inevitable that someone would notice.
Zhan Jing Chen felt a gaze fixed on him and subconsciously looked up, spotting Fu Duo Duo sitting in the lounge area.
Fortunately, he was now the third young master of the Zhan family, not a delivery person, and he had important matters to attend to. He didn't need to acknowledge her.
He glanced at her indifferently, pretending not to know her, and the three quickly walked past her.
A group of waiters bowed and greeted them, "Hello, Mr. Yao, Miss Yao, Young Master Zhan."
Fu Duo Duo looked at the pleasing backs of the three and listened to the greetings, once again dumbfounded.
Young Master Zhan? This person's surname is Zhan? He's not Jiang Jing Chen?
There aren't many people named Zhan in South City. Could he be Zhan Bei Jue's son?
It was too coincidental, how could he resemble Jiang Jing Chen so much?
Seeing the three enter the elevator, she quickly found a waiter to inquire.
"Those three who just came in look quite impressive. Who are they?"
The waiter said, "You don't recognize them? The one in black is the eldest son of the Yao family, the copper king of South City, Yao Dong Zhuo. Beside him is his sister, Miss Yao Jun Zhu. The handsome man holding Miss Yao's arm is the third young master of the Zhan family, Zhan Jing Chen. I heard he and Miss Yao are already engaged, they've had a betrothal since childhood and are out for a family meal. Mr. Yao is a regular here, everyone knows him well."
Fu Duo Duo's eyes widened like saucers, "You said, the third young master of the Zhan family, his name is Zhan Jing Chen?"
"Yes, he doesn't come often, but I heard our boss is his uncle, so he dines for free. Why the expression? He's indeed handsome and rich, but he already has a fiancée. You can only look."
Fu Duo Duo: "…Do you know which private room they went to?"
The waiter said, "Mr. Yao always uses 'Wan Shui Qian Shan' at our club. What does it matter if you know? No one dares to go in without his permission, he has a bad temper. Hey, although you're quite good-looking, countless women want to throw themselves at him. This path won't work, don't go looking for death."
Fu Duo Duo, as a native of South City whose family was also in business, how could she not know Yao Dong Zhuo's reputation?
She knew very well that he was not only unattainable but also very dangerous, and she wouldn't provoke him.
It was just this Jiang Jing Chen…
He looked so similar, it was too coincidental, she was too curious!
Her phone remained silent. She didn't know how the conversation between Ke Xin and that scumbag was going.
Fu Duo Duo anxiously retreated to wait, and while waiting, she messaged Gu Wei.
"How exactly did Ke Xin and Jiang Jing Chen meet? Gu Wei, are you sure his name is really Jiang Jing Chen? Have you seen his ID?"
Gu Wei was bewildered, "Didn't I tell you? He's just a delivery guy. We met him outside the Ni Chang Club. He was wearing a delivery uniform delivering food. Your Sister Pei took a fancy to him at first sight and insisted I get his contact information. What's wrong?"
Fu Duo Duo didn't know how to explain it to him.
"I have a feeling something is not right, something is weird. This guy doesn't seem as simple as a delivery person."
"What makes you say that?"
"I think I saw him at the club just now. He was very handsome, dressed very elegantly, and was holding a young lady."
"..."
Her saying that made Gu Wei recall something too.
When they went for dinner before, he excused himself to find the restroom and was also very intimate with a young lady...
Pei Zong Rui sat comfortably on the sofa, sipping wine. Seeing Pei Ke Xin enter, obedient as he had imagined, he couldn't have been happier.
He beckoned to her as he sat upright, smiling brilliantly.
