Chapter 76 'Yanyu Tower' Establishing Authority

'Woo-woo-woo—' The sirens of police cars echoed continuously over the western part of the city
. Dozens of police cars suddenly appeared in the western part of the city as if descending from the sky, speeding through the streets.

Such a large-scale operation had never been seen before, except on television, and
it attracted the attention of passersby, who stopped to watch and discuss it.

"What's going on? Has something serious happened? I've never seen so many police cars in all my years!"
A man in his sixties exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide.

"Grandpa, you don't know, do you? I heard there are terrorists hiding in our western part of the city! That's why they
're to arrest them!" A middle-aged man beside him chimed in, seemingly knowledgeable about the situation.

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged woman's sharp rebuttal rang out, "What? There are no
terrorists ! Don't talk nonsense! It seems the person in charge of Guoxin Group ran away with the demolition compensation money from last time, and these
police are here to seal off Guoxin Group!"

If Liu Guopei heard this voice at that moment, he would be speechless with embarrassment. He was being dragged into this mess
!

"Come on, it's just a small amount of money. Guoxin Group is worth much more than that demolition compensation money. Their boss
isn't stupid. Why would he abandon such a big company and run away with such a small amount of money?!" A
young man with glasses among the pedestrians analyzed rationally. Clearly, what he said made a lot of sense,
and the people around him basically agreed. The middle-aged woman, having been publicly humiliated, felt embarrassed and awkwardly disappeared
into the crowd.

And so, the crowd continued their discussion, each offering their own opinion. Even as the last
police car sped past, the chatter didn't cease. Although no consensus was reached
, this didn't dampen their enthusiasm for conversation, and it was likely this topic would
continue for days to come—that's life.

Moving on, past the lingering chatter of the Xicheng residents, the police cars arrived at
the .

*Screech—* Accompanied by a series of sharp brake screechs, more than a dozen police cars
stopped in front of an entertainment club. Looking up, the three large characters "Yan Yu Lou" came into view!

Fully armed SWAT officers, wielding Type 95 submachine guns, emerged from the vehicles and surrounded the club's entrance,
ready to rush in and arrest anyone on command!

"Hey, what are you doing! Do you know whose territory this is?!" A man in his thirties, a
cigarette from his lips, walked in through the doorway with several young men with dyed blond hair, shouting arrogantly. He completely disregarded the police
, a thick gold chain around his neck and a blue dragon and a white tiger tattoo on his bare arms, as if
he wanted everyone to know he was involved in organized crime.

Of course, this kind of behavior might have some effect if he were just trying to scare ordinary people, but unfortunately, he had run into Wei Ran and
his team of special police officers, so he had only kicked

a hornet's nest. "Hmm—" Wei Ran was known for his short temper, and seeing this kid daring to be so arrogant in front of him
, especially with Liu Guopei watching, he immediately snorted coldly, flicked his neck, and
signaled .

These officers were all well-trained elites, and one of them immediately understood. He stepped forward,
grabbed the kid's hair, pulled him down, and then slammed his knee into him!

With a 'bang—', his face and knee made intimate contact! You could tell from the sound
that the iron knee was really heavy. With just one strike, the arrogant man who had been so cocky just moments before was now
kneeling on the ground, clutching his face! The cigarette he hadn't even taken two puffs of was also knocked to
the ground !

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, you son of a bitch! You dare hit me! Are you all dead? Get him!"
The man cried out in pain, clutching his face, as he stood up, howling a few times. Then, he angrily roared at the group of thugs around him.
Although you couldn't see his expression, you could imagine that he was absolutely furious and enraged.

The scene unfolded so quickly that the young thugs behind the man
didn't even have time to react. It
wasn't until they heard the man's heart-wrenching screams that they realized what had happened and tried to intervene. But before they could move, a row of gun barrels were pointed at them.

Hearing that this kid was still defiant after being beaten and dared to call for his own attack, Wei Ran couldn't stand it anymore
. Wasn't this a slap in Liu Guopei's face?

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the SWAT officers beside him, walked up to the kid, and slapped him across the face.
A crisp 'smack' rang out, and the man who had just stood up was knocked back to the ground!
"What? You're still not convinced? Want to hit me? Come on, get up! Let me see how tough you are!"

"Don't come any closer! Help! The police are beating people! Help! The police are beating people!" Seeing Wei Ran
approaching step by step, the helpless man suddenly covered his already swollen face and shouted loudly, his voice
as pitiful as could be, looking utterly pathetic, making one feel sorry for him.

However, Liu Guopei and his men, who witnessed the whole thing, felt nothing
but contempt for him, watching with amusement.

Suddenly, more than a dozen young thugs rushed out of the Misty Rain Pavilion, this time carrying
machetes and steel bars, looking menacing. The moment they appeared, Wu Yi sensed their presence,
thinking they were about to attack, and quickly stepped in front of Liu Guopei! He coldly watched the group of thugs,
drawing a line in his mind: if any of these thugs crossed this safe distance, he would
undoubtedly be lying on the ground in the next second!

Although he knew his safety was not in danger,
Liu Guopei was still very moved to see Wu Yi stand in front of him without any hesitation.
He was right to have judged Wu Yi. Just for this reason alone, Wu Yi deserved his help!

Actually, Wu Yi was just too cautious. The group of thugs had no intention of making a move. At first, they
thought someone had come to cause trouble at the club and were preparing to fight. However, when they saw the
rows of special police officers and the black gun barrels at the entrance, they were dumbfounded and stood frozen in place, unable to move forward
or backward.

"Shout! Keep shouting! Let's see who can save you today! Show that same ruthlessness you have when you bully ordinary people!"
Wei Ran roared in a loud voice, his gaze sharp as he glanced at the group of thugs who had just rushed out.
This was a warning to them; if these small-time thugs ignored him, he
wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson.

"Brother Wei, these are just small fry. Don't waste your time. Don't let the big fish get away!"
Just as Wei Ran was about to continue dealing with the kid, Liu Guopei called out to him.

If it were anyone else, Wei Ran might not have listened, but he certainly had to listen to Liu Guopei. So
he glared at the kid fiercely, "I'll deal with you later!" Turning around, he smiled apologetically, "Haha, Brother Liu
is right, I almost got carried away! So what do we do now? You take command, I'll listen to you! This Yanyu Tower is
one of our targets today. The intelligence says that Nie Bin, the leader of the Haile Gang, is inside! As for 'Sunday Eight,' I
've already asked Deputy Director Chen of the Municipal Bureau to lead a team to seal it off!"

Liu Guopei knew that today's operation was very important, not only for Mayor Zheng but also for his company, so
he didn't mince words and decisively said, "Okay, then I won't stand on ceremony with Brother Wei!" After saying that, he turned
to face the fully armed special police officers who were waiting in ambush, "Team One, take down all these people. Teams Two and Three, come with me to take them.
Team Four, block all exits of Yanyu Tower. Team Five, set up roadblocks around the area. Don't let a single person escape! If anyone resists, take
action! Move out!!" As Liu Guopei finished speaking,

77's eerie figure

appeared, and dozens of fully armed SWAT officers sprang into action, quickly
sealing off the entire Yanyu Tower!

The group of thugs at the entrance were also surrounded, the gleaming black muzzles of their guns exuding a chilling murderous aura!
These petty thugs, who usually acted fearless, were now somewhat intimidated by this display of force.
They knew this was no joke; these police officers were not the same kind of people who only knew how to drink and chase women
. They stood rooted to the spot, not daring to resist.

Of course, the one who suffered the most was the man with the cigarette in his hand. Even a fool could see that he
was a member of the Chonghai Le Gang! He had originally thought it was just a routine check by the West City police, and he was looking forward to
showing off in front of so many men. He hadn't expected it to be for real; his attempt to show off had backfired!

Damn it! Serves you right for trying to be cool! The man smoking a cigarette was filled with regret. Not only had he been beaten for nothing, but he
had also lost all face. He wanted to slap himself twice more, but the pain
from it. He must have forgotten to check the almanac before leaving home! He didn't dare to shout anymore and could
only stand there obediently. Thinking of Wei Ran's words, "I'll deal with you later,"
he felt uneasy again and could only pray that Wei Ran had forgotten about it.

Actually, he had overestimated himself. Wei Ran's words were just casual remarks; he had no
intention of actually dealing with him later because he didn't take him seriously at all!

Watching the SWAT officers' well-trained movements, in no time, all the henchmen at the entrance of Yanyu Tower
had been brought under control. Liu Guopei couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Clearly, these were not ordinary police officers.
It seemed that Mayor Zheng was extremely angry about the Haile Gang's embezzlement of demolition compensation funds and was serious about it!

Moreover, Liu Guopei understood that although this operation was ostensibly aimed at the Haile Gang... But everyone
knew it wasn't that simple. The embezzlement of the demolition compensation was handled flawlessly from beginning to end; no matter
how you looked at it, it couldn't possibly have been easily accomplished by a small gang like the Hai Le Gang! In other words, the Hai Le
Gang was likely being used by someone else, merely a scapegoat! And the figure behind the scenes was the real target
for him and Mayor Zheng!

Heh, since Mayor Zheng was so determined, he had even less reason to back down!
I won't offend others unless they offend me first. Since you're the ones trying to kill me, then bring it on! No matter how well you hide, I will
personally drag you out. Let this Misty Rain Pavilion be the first battlefield for our confrontation! Liu Guopei
felt a surge of pride, smiled calmly, and stepped forward, preparing to follow the special police into the Misty Rain Pavilion.

"Hey, Brother Liu! You stay outside!" Liu Guopei had only taken two steps when Wei Ran stopped him.

Liu Guopei found Wei Ran's actions strange and looked at him with suspicion, but he didn't speak.
He believed Wei Ran must have his reasons, so he simply stood there waiting for
an explanation.

"Brother Liu, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean anything by it. I just think someone is needed outside to coordinate the overall situation.
This kind of small matter of taking people can be handled by me taking people!" Wei Ran quickly explained, afraid that Liu Guopei would misunderstand.

Although what Wei Ran said wasn't without merit, Liu Guopei still felt that the reason was far-fetched, as if he
had some other reason. Just as he was about to ask for clarification, Deng Hai, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up, "President Liu,
Old Wei is right. You'd better not go in! These thugs might do something desperate if they're cornered! We're
not familiar with the area, and it wouldn't be good if something unexpected happened!"

Actually, Wei Ran's real reason for not letting Liu Guopei in was the same as Deng Hai had said: he was afraid that once inside, the Hai Le Gang
might rebel in desperation, and he was worried that he
wouldn't be able to protect Liu Guopei and something might happen. He was just afraid Liu Guopei would misunderstand, so he made up an excuse that he was needed outside. Now, Deng Hai had spoken for him!

Liu Guopei wasn't stupid, of course. After hearing Deng Hai's words, he finally understood why
he had found Wei Ran's words a bit strange earlier. It turned out that he was worried about what might happen inside, so he
made up an excuse to stop him! After

thinking about it carefully, Liu Guopei also knew that they were doing it for his own good. After all, the Hai Le Gang was not someone to be trifled with
. Although he really wanted to go in, he ultimately gave up the idea, not wanting to put Wei Ran in a difficult position. "Alright, then thank you for
your trouble, Brother Wei. I'll just sit back and wait for your good news outside!"

"Brother Liu, don't worry! I'll do a great job and won't let you down, haha!
Come on, let's go get the guy!" Seeing that Liu Guopei had finally agreed, Wei Ran felt relieved, laughed loudly,
waved to the team of SWAT officers waiting beside him, and strode towards the entrance of Yanyu Tower.

After Wei Ran led his men inside, Liu Guopei and the others waited outside.
A large crowd of onlookers had already gathered on the surrounding streets. Looking at the completely packed streets, Liu Guopei frowned...
With a slight frown, and for security reasons, a small team of special police officers remaining outside were dispatched to cordon off a nearby street
, preventing anyone from approaching, while also organizing the evacuation of onlookers.

However, for some reason, just as Liu Guopei was busy directing the evacuation, he

suddenly

stopped, his brows furrowing tightly. His face showed a puzzled look as he scanned his surroundings, seemingly searching for something.
But after looking around, he lowered his head again, seemingly finding nothing, just deep in thought. In short, he
seemed very strange!

"Mr. Liu, what's wrong?" Having been in the business world for many years and adept at reading people, Deng Hai quickly noticed
Liu Guopei 's unusual behavior. His instincts told him that something he didn't know about had happened.

However, Liu Guopei didn't answer. Instead, he raised his hand to interrupt Deng Hai, still deep in thought. Was he
hallucinating?

No! Impossible!! Hallucinations couldn't be that real!! Liu Guopei quickly dismissed his own
speculation .

Just moments ago, while directing the SWAT team's operation, Liu Guopei had a strange feeling. It was as if
someone was hiding in the crowd, watching him intently. Then, when he turned his head, a bizarre
scene unfolded.

In the crowded throng, Liu Guopei saw a figure—a
figure !

The reason he said it shouldn't have been there was because this person was none other

than his departed wife—Tang Zixin!

The man across 78th Street

had only caught a glimpse of her, but without a doubt, that person was his wife, Zixin! Liu Guopei
firmly told himself.

And it was very likely that she had hidden herself because she realized he had seen her!

Why was Zixin here? And why was she hiding from him? Was she really pregnant?

A series of questions weighed heavily on Liu Guopei, making it hard for him to breathe. His mind felt like a tangled web of threads
, increasingly chaotic and causing him immense anxiety.

From what he knew, his wife hadn't left Zhonghai as she claimed, but had instead chosen to be with Xiao Qing after breaking up with
him . Although his conversation with Meng Yuan convinced him that his wife,
Zixin, couldn't possibly love Xiao Qing, he suspected there was some unknown reason behind her actions.

However, whenever he chose to believe his wife, the pregnancy test he found in the closet would repeatedly
flash through his mind, filling him with an ominous premonition! Especially after his wife discovered he
had seen her and instead of coming to see him, she chose to hide! This deepened Liu Guopei's unease!

According to Meng Yuan, his wife was staying in the Yunshui residential area, and she was being monitored;
it was impossible to be here. Yet, the figure he had just seen was unmistakably his wife!

What was going on?

If his wife had escaped from Yunshui, that was absolutely impossible! First of all, since his wife chose to go there after
breaking up , there's no reason for her to escape! Because if she wanted to escape, she wouldn't have gone
there on her own initiative! And even if she really wanted to escape, it's unrealistic. With her delicate
figure, how could she possibly escape the surveillance of the Green Wolf Gang, the largest organized crime group in Zhonghai?

Another thing he can't understand is why his wife is here? Even if she escaped the Green Wolf Gang's
surveillance, there's no reason for her to be here. This is Xicheng, far from his home and company, completely unrelated to
his wife !

What is it that he doesn't know? What exactly happened to his wife?!

At this moment, Liu Guopei was extremely agitated, feeling as if countless ants were scratching at his heart, making him
extremely uncomfortable! He wanted to completely understand the cause and effect of the matter, but he didn't know where to start, and could only feel anxious!

Vaguely, Liu Guopei sensed once again that a powerful hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes. It seemed as if
everything was orchestrated by this mastermind, and he had
unknowingly walked into a pre-arranged trap!

Perhaps he was merely a toy in this dark web? Was his

fate and ending predetermined?

Could it be?

Of course not!

My destiny is in my own hands!

No one can control my destiny! Even if this is a hopeless, pre-designed game,
he will defy the rules and sever the hidden hand behind the scenes!

To break free from this web, he must first see his wife, Zixin, and find out
what happened to her! With this thought, Liu Guopei resolutely raised his head, subconsciously scanning the surrounding crowd,
as if hoping to see that familiar figure again.

However, it was clear that this was unlikely to succeed. Since his wife had chosen to avoid him earlier,
she wouldn't let him see her so easily again; she was definitely hiding!

Sure enough, after carefully scanning every corner of the street, he still couldn't find his wife, Zixin. Everything
was as normal as ever, as if she had never been there.

It seemed impossible to see her now. He would wait until he finished dealing with the Hai Le Gang before going to find Zhang Yiyi;
she was now his only breakthrough! Liu Guopei withdrew his gaze, preparing to continue the
raid before fully investigating the matter concerning his wife.

However, just as Liu Guopei was about to turn around—

suddenly!!

His eyes narrowed, his body swayed, and his gaze fell on a man in a gray long-sleeved shirt across the street!!

In the crowd of onlookers on the commercial street opposite Yanyu Tower, a man of medium build stood out,
not because of his clothing, but because he was pointing his right hand across the wide street and the encirclement of special police,
making a gun gesture towards Liu Guopei!

Standing motionless, Liu Guopei stared at the man across the street.

Suddenly, the man raised his left hand, which had been in his pocket, revealing a silver chain hanging from it
, swaying back and forth and occasionally reflecting a glimmer of light in the sunlight.

Although he could only vaguely make out the silver chain across the street,
Liu Guopei inexplicably thought of himself the moment he first saw it.
The first gift Liu Guopei bought for his wife with the money he earned working on construction sites!

Connecting this to his wife's sudden appearance, Liu Guopei had a strong premonition: the
man across the street was definitely connected to his wife's presence! And the silver chain in his hand was very likely the engagement gift he
had given his wife!

Liu Guopei stared intently at the man across the street, not daring to blink. This man
was definitely related to his wife; he couldn't let him disappear!

Unexpectedly, the man didn't seem to intend to leave. He simply held the chain in one hand and pointed it at Liu Guopei with the other, making a
gun gesture. Other than that, he made no other move.

Liu Guopei didn't call for help to arrest him, knowing it was futile. The street was crowded with onlookers;
if he wanted to run, he could easily slip away with the flow of people. Catching him was practically impossible and
pointless.

The two remained staring at each other

for one minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes.

Finally, the man across the street moved. He lowered his right hand, which had been in a gun-like gesture, waited a few seconds,
and then extended it again. First, he held his palm, then lowered it, then extended four fingers, then lowered it again, then extended
three fingers, until two fingers, then one.

It was as if he was counting to Liu Guopei: five, four, three, two, one.

Finally, he made the gun-like gesture again, pointing it at Liu Guopei. But this time, he moved. As if
pulling a trigger , his palm suddenly swayed up and down, and he even brought his hand to his mouth, gently blowing on his fingers, as if he
were holding a real gun.

Bang—!!

A huge explosion suddenly rang out from behind Liu Guopei!

79. The alluring peony!

Accompanied by the huge explosion, a wave of heat, along with shards of glass and stone,
shot out from the Misty Rain Pavilion behind him!

"Boss, watch out!" Almost at the same time as the explosion, Wu Yi leaped over and shielded
Liu Guopei behind him. The two of them fell to the ground!

"Ah!" A series of terrified screams erupted from the crowd that had gathered near the commercial street to watch the commotion. People
scattered in all directions, and the scene instantly descended into chaos! The police cars parked along the street blared their sirens again, one louder than the next, seemingly trying to calm the escalating situation with their authoritative sound. However, for the terrified crowd, getting away was clearly more important. The scattering crowd didn't stop because of the sirens; they continued pushing and shoving, trying to escape the street. Screams and cries echoed from the chaotic crowd. Debris ejected from the blast wave from the Misty Rain Pavilion fell around him, and the deafening roar still reverberated in his ears. At this moment, Liu Guopei finally understood the meaning behind ! A surge of rage slowly burned within him, and fury and madness filled his heart! Pushing aside Wu Yi who was protecting him, Liu Guopei slowly rose from the ground, the sand and gravel covering him falling away. His gaze swept across the street, landing coldly on the gray-sleeved man opposite him! The man hadn't left after the explosion; he stood there quietly, staring at Liu Guopei, his hands now lowered, yet still conspicuous in the chaotic crowd! Although he couldn't see the man's facial expression, Liu Guopei could guess that he was smiling— clearly mocking. His gestures just now showed that it was all part of his planned countdown. His shooting gesture towards him indicated an inseparable connection to the explosion! He might planted the bomb! Moreover, he had only been making gestures towards Liu Guopei from beginning to end. Coupled with the bracelet and the sudden appearance of his wife, Tang Zixin, Liu Guopei was even more certain that he was also closely related to his wife! He couldn't let him escape! Liu Guopei strode across the street, his gaze fixed on the mysterious man! However, Liu Guopei hadn't taken two steps when the man opposite him moved again. He reached into his pocket again, quickly pulled something out, and placed it on the ground. After placing it, he extended his right hand towards Liu Guopei, but this time it wasn't in a gun gesture. Instead, he pointed at Liu Guopei and then at the object on the ground, as if indicating something. Finally, he raised his hand and waved, as if saying goodbye to Liu Guopei. However, to Liu Guopei, this goodbye was full of mockery and sarcasm! He could vaguely see the contemptuous and disdainful smile on the man's face. Suddenly, before Liu Guopei could react, the man in the gray long-sleeved shirt abruptly turned around and disappeared into the crowded flow of people. "Stop! Don't run!" Liu Guopei snapped out of his daze and shouted, running across the street. "Boss!" Wu Yi called out to Liu Guopei's figure and followed without hesitation. "Mr. Liu! Wait for me!" At the same time, Deng Hai, who had just barely regained consciousness from the explosion, saw the two's actions and immediately struggled to his feet to catch up. His body swayed, as if he might collapse again at any moment. However, this was understandable, since he wasn't like Liu Guopei who had been protected by Wu Yi in the explosion, and his physical condition was far inferior to Wu Yi's. So, being able to stand up was already a feat. After crossing the street, Liu Guopei pushed through the crowd in front of him, squeezing towards the direction where the mysterious man had disappeared, seemingly trying to find him. However, Liu Guopei quickly gave up the idea of grabbing the man amidst the shoving of the crowd. There were simply too many people; it was difficult to even move, let alone find someone. Helpless, Liu Guopei could only return to the spot where he had been standing. It must be said that the man was very clever. He must have planned his escape route from the beginning and anticipated that he couldn't be caught. That's why he was so relaxed and didn't take him seriously at all. In short , he was a very troublesome person. Standing blankly where the mysterious man had stood, Liu Guopei subconsciously glanced at the ravaged Yanyu Tower across the street, a wave of defeat washing over him. Leaving aside the safety of Brother Wei and the others, in his contest with the mysterious man, it was clear he had lost miserably! The gestures the man had made at the end flashed through his mind again. Looking down at the ground, his gaze swept over it, and sure enough, a black box lay silently on the floor. Undoubtedly, this was the box the mysterious man had left behind.

The thing he'd taken out of his pocket earlier.

Liu Guopei instinctively picked up the black box. The mysterious man had pointed at him and then at
this box, clearly wanting him to open it; there must be something inside for him.

Without hesitation, Liu Guopei opened the box. He was already at a disadvantage;
now besides this box, he had no other clues and no other choice!

The moment he opened the box, Liu Guopei was startled!

He hadn't been wrong; this man really was connected to his wife!!

Inside the box was a bracelet, a silver bracelet, a bracelet that Liu Guopei recognized all
too well ! It was the engagement gift he'd given to his wife!!

This further proved that the figure he'd seen wasn't an illusion; that figure was his wife, Tang Zixin!

Hmm? What's this? Suddenly, Liu Guopei noticed something else beneath the bracelet! A note!!

Reaching out the note from the bottom of the box, subconsciously, Liu Guopei sensed that this might
be something very important! He slowly unfolded the folded note.

To Liu Guopei's surprise, only five large characters appeared on the note: "Peony Tang Zixin!"

Simultaneously, a purple peony flower leaped onto the back of the note, alluring yet eerie.

"The peony tattoo on her neck,

Tang Zixin?" What did this mean?

What connection did his wife have with this alluring purple peony?

Looking at the note, Liu Guopei fell into deep thought.

Who was the man in gray? What was he trying to tell him?

The sudden appearance of his wife, Tang Zixin, the mysterious man in gray, and the alluring purple peony—these three

seemed unrelated on the surface, yet the facts clearly told him that everything that had happened today
was no coincidence!

It was as if an invisible thread connected these three things! Liu Guopei believed that if he found
this thread, everything that had happened today would become clear!

But the question was—how could he find this thread?

His gaze fell once more on the alluring peony on the back of the note. For some reason, the more Liu Guopei
looked the flower, the more uneasy he felt! He had a feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it!

It was eerie, a very subtle feeling, difficult to describe in words. But one thing was certain: this purple peony definitely had some special meaning! And this meaning was closely related
to his wife ! "Mr. Liu, what's wrong? Are you alright?" At that moment, Deng Hai's heavy . It seemed he was truly injured; otherwise, he wouldn't be so exhausted after just crossing a street. Lost in thought, Liu Guopei was pulled back to reality by Deng Hai's voice. He knew that thinking about it now was useless, and besides, there was a mess waiting for him to clean up! So he put the note and bracelet back into the box and put them away. "I'm fine! Right, business is business, let's rescue them immediately, Brother Wei and the others are still inside!" After saying that, Liu Guopei quickly walked to the entrance of the badly damaged Yanyu Tower across the street to organize the police force for the rescue. Since the explosion had occurred inside Yanyu Tower, most of the people outside were unharmed , with only minor injuries at most. They were all well-trained special police officers, so everyone gradually recovered . However, many of the panicked crowd across the street were injured in the pushing and trampling! Time was of the essence; the situation inside was still unknown. Liu Guopei didn't dare waste any time and quickly organized the remaining special police officers outside, dividing them into two groups: one responsible for evacuating the surrounding crowd, and the other group preparing to go in and rescue people. Then he... He called the city police station to request ambulances to the scene. Having finalized the plan, and just as he was about to lead his men into action, Liu Guopei suddenly noticed a group of Hai Le Gang thugs crouching beside the police convoy. He realized he'd almost overlooked them. Liu Guopei didn't actually dislike these young men; in fact, he felt some sympathy. They looked to be in their early twenties, perhaps even some minors. Most of them were just newcomers to society, blinded by so-called brotherhood, small-time thugs working for others—not inherently bad! So he didn't intend to do anything to them. While pondering, Liu Guopei approached the group, pointing to the man who had been reprimanded earlier, the one smoking. "Want to leave?" "Leave us?" The man smoking was stunned for a moment before reacting, still somewhat incredulous. "Want to or not?" Liu Guopei didn't answer directly, but asked again calmly. "Yes!" This time he didn't hesitate and answered quickly, afraid that if he answered too slowly Liu Guopei would change his mind . "Okay, but there's one condition! We need people now, so you and your group go and carry all the injured people together to help rescue them! Do it well. As long as you do this well, I guarantee I won't pursue today's matter once our follow-up police arrive, and you can leave safely! But don't even think about sneaking away, or you'll regret it, really, I mean what I say!" Liu Guopei lowered his head, staring intently at the man with the cigarette, and said in an icy tone. "Okay, okay," the man with the cigarette swallowed, trying to appear calm, then turned his head away, not daring to look Liu Guopei in the eye again, because that cold gaze made him feel a chill involuntarily, and at the same time he knew that the man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. From his tone, Liu Guopei could tell he wasn't lying, and he was certain he . More than ten minutes had passed since the explosion, and he prepared to turn and leave to continue organizing the rescue efforts inside the Misty Rain Tower. But just as Liu Guopei turned, he suddenly stopped. Because just as he turned— he had inadvertently caught a glimpse of something on the cigarette-wielding man's neck! No, to be precise, it was a tattoo! A flower-shaped tattoo! Liu Guopei quickly lifted the cigarette-wielding man's head, wanting to see it again, worried he might have mistaken it! "Hey... what are you doing?" The man was startled by Liu Guopei's sudden action, his voice trembling, not knowing what he was up to. It really was a flower!

This time, Liu Guopei saw it clearly: a blue flower tattoo! The tattoo was small, and
located between his neck and chin, making it difficult to notice! If it weren't for the alluring purple peony on the paper that made Liu Guopei
particularly sensitive to flowers, and the fact that the man with the cigarette was squatting down while speaking to him, so his head was tilted
back could see it, he really wouldn't have noticed it!

Although this flower didn't prove anything, and it was certain that it wasn't a peony—its shape
was clearly different from the peony on the paper!—Liu Guopei was still filled with curiosity. Could there really be such
a coincidence? He had just seen a mysterious purple peony, and in the blink of an eye, he discovered this tattoo?

Were the two really unrelated?

Could it be her?

"What...what exactly do you want? Didn't you just say you wouldn't pursue this anymore? What's wrong?" The man thought
Liu Guopei had changed his mind again and was preparing to deal with him, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Of course!" Liu Guopei withdrew his hand. Although the tattoo on the man's neck might just be a coincidence, he
couldn't let go of any clue. "I always keep my word
! But before that, I'd like to talk to you about something!"

"Talk about what?"

"Hehe, don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you! What's your name? Are you from the Hai Le Gang?"
Liu Guopei smiled faintly, knowing he couldn't be too hasty, as that would only be counterproductive. He had to
take it one step at a time.

"My name is Wen Xu, and I'm not stupid! Do you have something you want to ask me?
Just say it! No need for pretense. I've already been captured, what choice do I have? As long as you don't make me
betray Brother Bin, I'll tell you everything!"

This man was undeniably clever, immediately seeing through Liu Guopei's intentions. However, what surprised
Liu Guopei was that this man was still thinking of not betraying his boss, Nie Bin, even at this moment. Moreover, his
expression showed that these words came from the heart, not an act. This showed that he was particularly loyal,
which raised Liu Guopei's opinion of him.

"Alright, then I won't keep you in suspense any longer! You have a blue dragon and a white tiger tattooed on your left and right hands, but a flower tattooed on your neck
. Don't you find that strange? That's why I'm very curious about this flower. What does it mean?"
Since he had already revealed his intentions, Liu Guopei simply asked directly.

"You mean this tattoo? It doesn't mean anything!" Wen Xu, hearing Liu Guopei's words, couldn't help but
touch his neck, seemingly puzzled by Liu Guopei's question.

No special meaning? Now it was Liu Guopei's turn to be puzzled. With his years of
experience dealing with all sorts of people, he wouldn't misjudge someone, and that was precisely the strange thing. Wen Xu didn't seem to be
lying to him at all. Could it really just be a coincidence? Was he overthinking everything?

"Brother, this tattoo really doesn't mean anything special! Why would I lie to you about this? I
just happened to see a woman with this tattoo and thought it was cool, so I got one too!" Seeing
Liu Guopei's silence, and worried that he didn't believe him, Wen Xu emphasized again.

What was said without intention was taken to heart. Wen Xu's emphasis was like a bolt of lightning flashing before
Liu Guopei's eyes! It also made Liu Guopei's eyes light up, grasping the most important piece of information, "A woman?
What woman? Where did you see her?!"

"She's my boss Bin's woman. Last time she was drinking with my boss, I saw her by chance
, but..." Wen Xu suddenly stopped, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"But what?" Liu Guopei, of course, wouldn't miss any valuable information.

"Hers has it tattooed on her chest, and there's a word next to it. It looks better than mine. I
saw it by chance!" After saying this, Wen Xu didn't forget to emphasize that he saw it by chance.

"What word?"

"I don't know, I just glanced at it casually, I didn't see it clearly!"

Another word? What could it be? Intuition told Liu Guopei that this was definitely not a coincidence, there must
be some connection! It was just a pity that he couldn't get more information. Although it was obvious that Wen Xu's
insistence on seeing it by chance was a lie, Liu Guopei chose to believe the rest. He had no reason to lie,
because doing so would not only not benefit him, but would also anger him. He believed that Wen Xu was not such a
foolish person.

"Is that the woman you mentioned her?" Liu Guopei took out his phone, pulled up a picture of his wife, Tang Zixin, and
handed it to Wen Xu for identification. Although Liu Guopei knew the woman he was talking about was almost certainly not his wife,
he still wanted to confirm.

"Not this one!" Wen Xu leaned over and glanced at it, then made a decisive conclusion. It seemed he had a very deep impression of
that woman.

Sure enough, it wasn't his wife. Liu Guopei thought to himself, "Very good. Since you're so sensible, I won't make things difficult
for you. I won't ask about your boss! One last question! Tell me what you know about that woman!" "

I don't know much about her either. My position in the gang isn't high! And Brother Bin rarely brings that
woman here!" Wen Xu scratched his head, saying with difficulty.

"You don't know anything about her?" Liu Guopei was disappointed and asked somewhat unwillingly.

"Oh, right, I remember now!" Wen Xu's expression suddenly changed, as if he had thought of something
useful . "Once when I was drunk, I heard a brother who often followed Brother Bin say that this woman
seems to have a husband and a sick son! I heard that she originally worked as a hostess on Xianglan Street to
earn money for her son's surgery, but later, probably because she was pretty, she was dragged into it and started working as a hostess, and then
Brother Bin took a liking to her and she became Brother Bin's woman!"

She started as a hostess on Xianglan Street? She has a husband and a sick son?

Hearing this, Liu Guopei's heart trembled violently, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Could it be?

Could this woman be... Suddenly, Liu Guopei thought of someone, someone he had never met
but knew quite well.

82 I'll go there myself!

From the moment Wen Xu finished speaking, Liu Guopei had a feeling of déjà vu, as if he
knew this woman very well. After thinking for a while, he finally realized why he had this feeling! Because...
This woman is very likely—the wife of Liang Yu, the "Living Dead"!

Remember when we chatted online last time, Liang Yu mentioned that the reason he risked everything
to report Xianglan Street in the "Exposés Alliance" QQ group was because it ruined his family! Although he didn't specify
what happened, it's clear from our QQ chat that it involves his wife
! Liang Yu also mentioned that his child has been diagnosed with leukemia and is being treated in the hospital!

All of this coincides with what Wen Xu said about the tattooed woman! So there's a very high possibility that the woman
the boss is Liang Yu's wife!

Although we don't yet know why she suddenly became the woman of the Hai Le Gang boss,
it's almost certain that she has a mysterious flower-shaped tattoo! And most importantly,
Liu Guopei ! Could it be that Zixin also had a very ominous premonition?

Liu Guopei wasn't an idiot. At this point, he was basically certain that this was no coincidence.
The mysterious floral tattoo on Liang Yu's wife must be related to the alluring purple peony on the note!
In other words, it was also related to his wife, Tang Zixin!!

It seemed he had to go to Liang Yu again and find out everything that
had happened . Perhaps he could indirectly learn about his wife's situation from them!

"Captain Wei!"

"Captain Wei!"

Just as Liu Guopei was talking to Wen Xu, a joyful shout suddenly came from the side. He turned around
and saw Wei Ran, covered in dust, helping each other out of the Yanyu Tower with several special police officers!!

Seeing this, Liu Guopei was overjoyed. He immediately left Wen Xu behind and hurried towards
the door !

"Brother Wei! You're finally out! That's great! I was so worried! Are you alright?" Liu Guopei said
sincerely . Wei Ran had always been very good to him and always thought of him. If Wei Ran
hadn't stopped him from going in, he would undoubtedly be lying inside now, and he
didn't even It was no exaggeration to say that Wei Ran had saved his life!

"Cough cough," Wei Ran was about to speak when he was choked by a mouthful of ash and coughed uncontrollably. It took him a while to recover.
"Cough cough, damn it, you got my mouth full of ash. Brother Liu, I'm fine, I'm not dead! Luckily you didn't go in,
otherwise it would have been too dangerous. If it weren't for the stone pillar that was holding me up, I would have almost died here! I think this was a trap
. They were waiting for us to fall in! Damn it, they dared to lay a hand on me, I'll definitely not let them get away with this!" Wei Ran
cursed angrily, still with his usual hot temper, showing no sign of having escaped death.

Seeing him like this, Liu Guopei could only smile helplessly, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief
. The fact that Wei Ran still had the energy to curse meant he hadn't been seriously injured in the explosion.

Although he was safely out, Wei Ran still had several minor injuries. Liu Guopei originally
wanted him to stay with the other injured people to rest until the ambulance arrived, while
he would direct the rescue efforts. However, Wei Ran refused outright, loudly proclaiming that he was fine and insisted on personally handling the rescue. Liu Guopei
could only let him be, but told Wei Ran about the encounter with the mysterious man, asking
him to use the police to investigate, as that man was very likely
the culprit !

Of course, Liu Guopei concealed the matter of the black box, as it concerned his wife, Tang Zixin, and
the fewer people who knew, the better. Besides having Wei Ran investigate the explosion, he also had
a personal motive: having no clue about the mysterious man himself, he wanted to use the police
to find him and thus obtain more information about his wife!

Although it was unfair to do this, feeling like he was using Wei Ran, it was
the only way Liu Guopei could manage. He could only try to thank him in other ways later.

*Sobbing*...

Not long after, police reinforcements arrived, along with an ambulance team. It was at
this moment that Liu Guopei received a call from Meng Yuan.

"Guopei, it's me, Meng Yuan!" Meng Yuan's voice was a little anxious on the other end of the line.

"Yes, speak."

"Zhang Yiyi is looking for Wu Jianxin. She's on the street outside the hotel, definitely waiting for him!
But there was an explosion in Xicheng just now, and he sent me to the scene to report. I'm leaving soon and can't
keep an eye on them anymore. What should we do? And if he meets with Zhang Yiyi, will he reveal what we
threatened ? Won't that alert him?!"

Zhang Yiyi went to the Tianfu Hotel to see Wu Jianxin? Heh, upon hearing this, Liu Guopei didn't feel any of Meng Yuan
's anxiety; instead, he felt a little happy! It was truly effortless! He had been worried that she was at the TV station and
it would be difficult to find her, so he had specifically planned to try again at a different time. Unexpectedly, she came out on her own! At the same time, Meng
Yuan's worries were completely unnecessary, because Liu Guopei believed that Wu Jianxin would never reveal
what happened last night!

"Don't worry, Wu Jianxin won't say anything. Think about it, with his status, would he talk about something so embarrassing
? Especially in front of his woman! By the way, did he go out to see Zhang Yiyi?"

"No, he can't leave right now! But I'm leaving soon, I can't keep an eye on him!"

"Don't worry, how much longer until he goes down to see Zhang Yiyi?"

"I don't know, he's having a meeting with several managers in a room, I estimate at least half an hour!
What's wrong?"

Hearing Meng Yuan's words, Liu Guopei estimated the time in his mind and then quickly made a decision,
"Hehe, half an hour, then there's absolutely nothing to worry about! Don't worry, just come and report, I'm at the explosion
site right now, Xicheng, Yanyu Tower!" Liu Guopei smiled faintly, his tone full of confidence, as if everything
was under his control.

"What about the other two?"

"I'll go there myself!" After saying that, Liu Guopei hung up the phone.

For Liu Guopei, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to break through the fog, and the key to this opportunity
was—Zhang Yiyi!

An unusual scene unfolded at the entrance of Hotel 83!

He needed to hurry. After hanging up the phone, Liu Guopei glanced at his Rolex watch, then...
Without hesitation, Liu Guopei went straight to Wei Ran. "Brother Wei, I have some urgent business to attend to, I might have to go first
."

To be honest, Liu Guopei felt guilty as he said this, because Wei Ran was still injured, and the scene was
a mess. It was really hard for him to leave at this time, but he couldn't stay. Zhang Yiyi was
a key point in his connection with his wife, and he might be able to get news about her from her.

"Hey, Brother Liu, you're being too polite. Do we need to be like this? If you have something to do, just go ahead, it's no
big deal! You're the one doing important things, I'm enough for you here! Go ahead and do your work. If there's anything I
can help you , just ask. I may not have many other skills, but I have a lot of brothers, so I can run errands for you!"
Wei Ran patted Liu Guopei on the shoulder and said cheerfully, without any affectation, his tone full of sincerity.

Seeing that Wei Ran wasn't upset at all about his sudden departure, but instead trusted him so much,
Liu Guopei was deeply moved. He had only known Wei Ran for less than half a month, yet Wei Ran truly treated him like a brother!
He had to admit, this friend was someone worth keeping for a lifetime!

Knowing that time was running out, and if he didn't hurry, Zhang Yiyi might leave with Wu Jianxin,
which Liu Guopei stopped being sentimental, gave Wei Ran a brotherly hug, then arranged for Deng Hai and Wu Yi
to stay and help, and drove his Porsche straight to the Tianfu Hotel!

Actually, Liu Guopei was quite confused about Zhang Yiyi now, unable to understand many things
about her, unsure what kind of woman she was!

If it were before, he would undoubtedly have described her as a very beautiful, cheerful,
sweet-talking, and kind-hearted girl. Her repeated calls of "brother-in-law" still faintly echoed in
his ears. A month ago, in his mind, she was basically on the same level as his wife, Tang Zixin—
two perfect women with different styles!

However, ever since Wu Jianxin secretly set a trap for him some time ago, and Zhang Yiyi, his wife's best friend,
knowingly failed to warn him despite being framed, it became clear that she was not
what she appeared to be! Especially after witnessing her affair with Wu Jianxin twice,
he utterly shocked and completely unable to see through this girl. He wondered
what unimaginable mind lay hidden beneath that innocent and cheerful mask.

With her looks and qualities, what kind of man couldn't she find? How could she willingly become someone's mistress,
especially a balding man in his forties like Wu Jianxin!

Undoubtedly, she had an ulterior motive for becoming Wu Jianxin's lover! But what that motive was was no longer important
. All the signs indicated that she was an enemy, not a friend, and there was a high probability she
had close ties to the Green Wolf Gang! Therefore, if she cooperated this time, that would be fine; if not,
Liu Guopei polite. He had to get some information about his wife from her; she
couldn't possibly be unaware of his wife's affairs!

Twenty minutes later, the Porsche Cayenne quietly pulled up at an intersection not far from the Tianfu Hotel.
Liu Guopei didn't drive any further. Through the car window, he could see a Honda Accord parked on a street corner not far ahead.

Standing next to the Accord was a tall, graceful, short-haired girl. She wore a white chiffon blouse paired with a
sexy, tight denim mini-skirt. Her curvaceous S-shaped figure was captivating. Black stockings
tightly hugged her long, shapely legs, which, combined with her black lipstick,
gave her both youthful energy and mature sexiness. Her beauty was in no way inferior to those top female
stars on television, and perhaps even slightly surpassed them! Of course, this young, short-haired beauty was none other than
Zhang Yiyi, Liu Guopei's target for today!

The fact that she was still waiting meant that she and Wu Jianxin hadn't met yet, so Liu Guopei decided to
wait a little longer to see what the two of them would do!

Sure enough, as expected, after waiting for about five minutes, Liu Guopei saw
a —Wu Jianxin!

Wu Jianxin, carrying a paper bag, walked onto the street, waited for the red light, and then
crossed the street towards the opposite side, where the Honda Accord was parked.

As soon as Zhang Yi saw Wu Jianxin, she immediately swayed her sexy little steps to greet him. The
two quickly came together, hugged upon meeting, and then Wu Jianxin wrapped his arms around Zhang Yi's
slender waist, kissing her face profusely. His hand slowly slid down her waist,
ravaging her high, rounded buttocks!

Zhang Yi turned her head away, dodging and pushing against Wu Jianxin's chest, seemingly rejecting him—but to Liu Guopei,
this rejection seemed more like a tacit agreement.

Liu Guopei was utterly shocked. He never imagined that the two, who had been hiding in the stairwell to be intimate just moments before,
would now be so brazen as to openly kiss in the street! Most importantly, this place is just across the street from
the CCTV base in Zhonghai, the Tianfu Hotel! Isn't Wu Jianxin afraid of being seen by his colleagues and then
reporting it to his rivals?

And last night, after he and Zhang Yiyi had their tryst in the Yunshuijian residential area, he knew to get out of the car
some distance from the Tianfu Hotel on their way back. Why is he less vigilant today than last night? From several indirect contacts and
last night's direct contact, Liu Guopei can confirm that Wu Jianxin is a very shrewd person. Logically, he wouldn't
make such an extremely stupid mistake! Could one night really cause such a big change in a person? What
made him so bold in just one night?!

While pondering this, Zhang Yiyi had already broken free from Wu Jianxin's "clutches," looked around, and even
gently hit him a few times with her fair, lotus-root-like arms, looking shy! Wu Jianxin smiled and continued to hug
her, only his movements became a little gentler.

The two embraced for a few minutes. Then, Wu Jianxin smiled and kissed Zhang Yiyi hard on the cheek
, pinching her ample breasts. Amidst Zhang Yiyi's shy playful 'scolding,' he handed
her the paper bag.

To Liu Guopei's surprise, after giving her the bag, the two didn't get into the car together and leave. Wu Jianxin turned back
and walked towards the Tianfu Hotel, while Zhang Yiyi took the bag, got into the Accord, and drove away.

What was going on? Were they not there for a rendezvous? What had happened to make Wu Jianxin so timid overnight?
Why did the car suddenly grow so big? What could be in that paper bag?

With a series of questions in mind, Liu Guopei started his Cayenne and quietly followed the Accord that was about to leave

.

The Accord and Cayenne drove off Tianfu Avenue one after the other.

To be on the safe side, Liu Guopei deliberately kept a distance of several car lengths from the Accord, but he was still
a little uneasy. He had eaten with his wife and Zhang Yiyi several times before, and she had seen his
car, so he couldn't get too close, or she would easily spot him.

Time passed slowly.

The two cars drove on, passing through street after street, for half an hour,
without stopping. Liu Guopei gradually noticed something amiss, his gaze unconsciously sweeping
over the GPS navigation system in the car, instantly confused.

Where was she going? Wasn't she going to Xianglan Street? When he first started following her, Liu Guopei instinctively
assumed Zhang Yiyi was heading to Xianglan Street. However, GPS navigation clearly showed the car was heading
south , getting further and further away from Xianglan Street, and if he remembered correctly, the sea was just ahead!

There would be no road at the seaside, so why was she driving here? Did she realize she was being followed
and deliberately lead him here?

Probably not! Liu Guopei quickly dismissed his theory, because the two cars had maintained
a large distance the entire way, and he had been driving very cautiously; it was unlikely she would notice. Even if
she did notice, there was no need for her to lead him this far!

So, after much thought, there could only be one explanation—she was originally going to be here!

They were almost at the seaside; why would Zhang Yiyi rush here immediately after separating from Wu Jianxin
? Logically, she had no reason to be here. But could it be related to the mysterious paper bag she received from Wu Jianxin
? Liu Guopei suddenly thought of that bag. The more he thought about it, the more
likely it seemed. He had been watching her closely, analyzing the situation, and the only suspicious thing
was the bag. There was nothing else suspicious!

What could be in that paper bag? Having figured this out, Liu Guopei became even more
curious , itching to open it immediately!

Ten minutes later, the Accord slowed down, rounded an intersection,
and suddenly the view opened up, revealing the vast sea in the distance. This confirmed Liu Guopei's memory. Through the car window,
he saw the Accord suddenly veer off the road and slowly stop on a small patch of open ground beside the highway.

Liu Guopei also pulled his Cayenne off the road and stopped, not daring to go any further. He glanced
around ; this was practically the suburbs. Aside from the sea, only a single
-lane, U-shaped, circular highway led back into the city. The surrounding area was barren, with only a few large
rocks and a wide-open view.

If they continued forward, they would have to return to the city center to avoid arousing Zhang Yi's suspicion, so they couldn't
go any further and had to stop now. To ensure everything went smoothly, Liu Guopei turned the car around and returned
to the intersection, stopping at the corner. He then got out and stealthily made his way forward, occasionally using
large rocks to conceal himself, his eyes fixed on the Accord parked not far away.

When he was only about twenty meters from the Accord, Liu Guopei stopped moving and hid behind a
large rock , waiting quietly. This position was far too close; any slight movement could
reveal him!

While hiding behind a rock made him less likely to be discovered, it had a major drawback:
Liu Guopei could only barely see the lower half of the Accord through a gap under the rock;
he couldn't see anything above the tires. This was a last resort; to avoid being discovered, and not daring to stick his head out, this
was the only way.

About a minute later, suddenly, the Accord's door slowly opened, and a shapely leg encased in black
stockings . Zhang Yiyi had made a move!

The door closed again, and she got out! Only her lower body could be seen through the crack: denim shorts, a sexy,
perky bottom, black stockings, and half a white arm carrying a yellow paper bag! Watching her slowly
walk further and further away, Liu Guopei couldn't care less; he had to find out where she was going!

Risking everything, Liu Guopei peeked slightly out from behind the rocks and saw Zhang Yiyi carrying the paper bag
walking towards the edge of the road. It should have been a cliff, and below was the sea. Why was she going there?
Had she mad?

His confusion deepened.

Huh? Where did she go?

Liu Guopei's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he was shocked. Just a moment ago, while he was lost in thought,
Zhang Yiyi had vanished from his sight!

How could this be? Just a minute ago, a perfectly healthy person was right in front of him, and now she's vanished?
Could she fly? This must be a ghost! There's no point in hiding now that she's disappeared.
Liu Guopei stepped out from behind the rocks and quickly ran towards where Zhang Yiyi had disappeared, wanting to see
what had happened.

Before he even reached her, he heard the roar of an engine! Liu Guopei quickly crouched down
; the sound seemed to be coming from the cliff below the road. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly crouched and moved
towards the edge of the road.

There was a path! When Liu Guopei reached the edge of the cliff, he discovered
a small path leading down to the beach. So, Zhang Yiyi had gone down from here? No wonder she
suddenly disappeared before his eyes!

But one question remained: although this area was part of Zhonghai, it was very far from the city center,
and transportation was poor, so the city hadn't developed it, and practically no one came
here. So why was Zhang Yiyi here?

To resolve his doubts, Liu Guopei slowly descended the path, his eyes constantly scanning
his surroundings He was tense, sensing a pervasive sense of danger. After
a short distance, he saw a blue and white speedboat moored on the shore ahead! The engine sound from earlier should...
That must be the source!

Let's go down and check; there's definitely something fishy down there! Liu Guopei thought for a moment, then decided to continue walking.

"You filthy pervert, stop touching me! Give it to me, please, I can't take it anymore!" Just then,
a woman's coquettish yet urgent voice suddenly came from below the path, a voice that stirred the imagination and made one's blood
boil, exuding an indescribable charm and allure.

Liu Guopei immediately stopped and gently approached. The woman's voice was familiar; it was Zhang Yiyi ,
no doubt!

"Haha, of course I'll give it to you, baby! Don't rush, how could you willingly
sleep with me without it! Didn't expect me to come today? Missed me? Haha!" At the same time, a man's deep
voice came, his tone indescribably lewd, you could even hear the sound of saliva in his mouth, and this
voice seemed familiar!

"I've brought you everything you wanted, please give me what you need, I really can't take it anymore, I'm
going to die!" Zhang Yiyi's voice was already trembling with tears as she pleaded, seemingly in great pain and
desperately needing something, starving and suffering.

What's wrong with her? Just half an hour ago, she was chatting and laughing intimately with Wu Jianxin, but now she seems to be going crazy
. And from their conversation, it seems she has a physical relationship with this man!

What's going on between her and Wu Jianxin? Is she having relationships with two men at the same time? Liu Guopei was shocked
beyond belief. He couldn't believe that the elegant, optimistic, and cheerful
short-haired beauty he knew would turn out like this! And who is this man with that familiar voice?

85 The alluring coastline

carefully observed the terrain again, but found no one else. It should only be
Zhang Yiyi and the man below the highway cliff.

The path led directly to the shore, and a large section of it was isolated, without any cover
. Following it would easily expose him, and even the most careful man would be spotted!
Liu Guopei pondered how to reach the bottom undetected. Only from below could he
see what Zhang Yiyi and the other woman were doing.

Never mind! After a moment's thought, Liu Guopei made his decision: he wouldn't take the path! He would climb down the cliff!
Although the danger would be much greater, it would be much harder to be discovered. He could tell from the sounds that Zhang Yiyi and the other woman
were on the shore below the path, and climbing down the cliff would be conveniently hidden by the loose rocks, creating
a blind spot for them, making him almost undetectable!

Having made up his mind, Liu Guopei carefully stepped onto the loose rocks and slowly descended. Although he knew Zhang
Yiyi and the other woman couldn't see him, he moved very quietly, mainly to avoid causing a slip and
alerting them, which would be disastrous.

The cliff was only a few meters high, but it took Liu Guopei a full ten minutes to reach the shore.
Not wanting to waste any more time, he immediately bent down and headed towards the direction from which the sound had come.

"Mmm," a muffled groan suddenly came from ahead, followed by a series of
kissing sounds. The conversation had stopped.

At this point, Liu Guopei knew without a doubt what they were doing. He glanced around and saw
a where he could hide. He quietly walked over and concealed himself behind the rock. He could hear the woman's
high-pitched moans and the man's heavy breathing.

If Zhang Yiyi and Wu Jianxin's public displays of affection in the street were considered bold, then her having sex with
another man in broad daylight was simply outrageous! He really hadn't expected his
surveillance to yield such a significant discovery! The mere thought of Zhang Yiyi's face, coupled with the stimulation of her alluring moans,
caused Liu Guopei to feel a surge of heat, his large penis erect. After listening for a while,
the panting continued, growing louder and louder. Liu Guopei couldn't take it anymore and leaned out to look in the direction of
the sound .

Although he had been mentally prepared by their conversation and the waves of sounds,
he still couldn't bear to look at what he saw!

Zhang Yiyi was bent over, her slender waist supported by a rock, her upper body completely naked, her round, pert buttocks raised high.
A slightly overweight man stood behind her, moving rhythmically. When he saw the man's face,
Liu Guopei finally understood why the man's voice had sounded familiar—he had not only seen
this , but had also dined with him! This was
Zhao Kun from the Green Wolf Gang, who had threatened him at the Hongxin Hotel!

A white chiffon blouse and pink lace lingerie lay scattered on the floor, her denim miniskirt and black stockings pulled down
to her calves! The man forcefully pulled her hair back, forcing Zhang Yi's head tilted back. Her beautiful
face, eyes tightly closed, brows furrowed, and mouth slightly open as she breathed heavily—

this erotic scene was completely unexpected by Liu Guopei. He had never imagined it would turn out like this. His heart
pounded wildly. Liu Guopei averted his gaze, unable to bear looking any longer, or rather, unwilling to look,
because he simply couldn't accept it. He truly couldn't believe that such a near-perfect woman as Zhang Yi would
have a relationship with Zhao Kun, a gangster! And in broad daylight!

She was Wu Jianxin's mistress, which was hard to believe, but at least Wu Jianxin was
the deputy director of CCTV, China's largest television station—no matter how shameful he was, his status was still there! But what about Zhao Kun? To put it bluntly,
he was a complete thug, penniless and powerless, just a low-level gangster.
Why would Zhang Yiyi fall for him?

Unconsciously, Liu Guopei thought of his wife, Tang Zixin. Could she be that kind of person? She was with Xiao Qing
now ; was she also a woman like Zhang Yiyi?

The thought of this possibility, of his wife perhaps also succumbing to Xiao Qing's advances, caused Liu Guopei
a sudden, sharp pain in his heart. No, it couldn't be! His wife was different from Zhang Yiyi; she wouldn't be that kind of person!

Liu Guopei shook his head repeatedly, trying to banish this thought from his mind, but the more he
shook his head, the clearer the thought became.

The erotic scene he had just witnessed reappeared in his mind, only now, without him realizing it,
the had quietly transformed from Zhang Yiyi into his wife, Tang Zixin! And Zhao Kun had become Xiao Qing.

"I'll fuck you to death!" Just as Liu Guopei was lost in painful fantasies, a man's satisfied shout of release pulled him
back to reality.

Liu Guopei let out a long sigh of relief, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Thinking about the hallucination he had just experienced, he still
felt a lingering fear. He peeked outside again, trying to distract himself from thinking
about his wife!

Zhao Kun was completely exhausted, lying on top of Zhang Yiyi, but his wicked hand was still
roaming over her curvaceous figure, sometimes up, sometimes down.

"I've got what you wanted, give it to me now!" Zhang Yiyi struggled to break free from Zhao Kun
, reaching out her hand weakly, her face deathly pale, like someone seriously ill, which
was terrifying.

What's wrong with her? Is she sick? Only then did Liu Guopei notice Zhang Yiyi's abnormal complexion. He hadn't noticed it before because he hadn't dared
to look too closely. Normally, a woman's face would be flushed after an orgasm, so why was she so
pale? It wasn't just ordinary paleness, but a sign of illness!

"Baby, you're amazing! I was almost exhausted. No wonder the boss likes you so much. Here
you go!" Zhao Kun slowly raised his head and kissed Zhang Yiyi's smooth back, then handed her a
white pill.

Just a second ago, Zhang Yiyi was incredibly weak. Seeing the white pill, her eyes lit up, her face
instantly filled with joy. Ignoring her naked body, she eagerly reached out her trembling hand and took it,
swallowing it without even looking at it. After swallowing the white pill, she closed her eyes tightly, tilted her head back, and a
minute later, a look of comfort and satisfaction slowly appeared on her pale face, utterly enjoying herself.

Drugs? These two words were the first thing that popped into Liu Guopei's mind when he saw this scene! This
was umpteenth time he'd been shocked today; so many things had happened that he could never have imagined before.

Wait a minute, aren't drugs always white powder? He'd never heard of pill-shaped drugs before
! But this scene undeniably told him that it was drugs!

86 Evil—Zhao Kun's Test Subject!

Sometimes things just happen so coincidentally. Just as Liu Guopei was wondering, Zhao Kun's voice came again,
perfectly answering Liu Guopei's question, "How is it? Comfortable, right! This is a new product that the best team spent
several years developing. Isn't it heavenly? Hehe," he said, picking up Zhang
Yiyi's pink lace bra from the ground, covering his face, burying his head in it, and taking a deep sniff. He
continued with a look of pure ecstasy, "Mmm, so fragrant!" Then he directly used the crumpled pink bra to wipe his
limp crotch, a look of unsatisfied satisfaction on his face, his lecherous appearance utterly disgusting.

"Put it down, you pervert!" Although the two had already been intimate, seeing Zhao Kun's disgusting
actions , Zhang Yiyi still blushed slightly and cursed him. A blush appeared on her pale face, whether
from shame or the pill from earlier, her complexion had improved considerably.

"Haha, isn't this how you like me? Here, let me wipe you down too." Zhao Kun didn't take Zhang Yiyi's
curses seriously at all. Instead, he laughed and sat down in front of her with the wiped underwear
, putting his arm around her.

"How disgusting! Use your own, don't take mine!" Zhang Yiyi rolled her eyes at him, shyly
snatched her underwear from his hand, and symbolically twisted her soft body, trying to break free from
Zhao Kun's embrace and stand up. But this was obviously futile. Zhao Kun certainly wouldn't let her have her way. Just as she
was about to get up, he suddenly reached out and forcefully pulled her already weak waist!

"Ouch!" With a soft cry, Zhang Yiyi fell into Zhao Kun's arms again. This time, perhaps
because the previous 'battle' had exhausted all her strength, or perhaps because she had completely given up
, she didn't struggle anymore. Instead, she leaned her head against his slightly fat body.

Feeling the woman's movements in his arms, Zhao Kun sneered inwardly, knowing she had resigned herself to her fate. The thought
of the wonderful feeling he had just experienced while with her made him unbearably itchy. He kept running his hands through her hair,
occasionally letting them slide down to caress her two high, firm breasts, kneading them forcefully!

"Don't move! Didn't you already ravage me enough?!" Zhang Yiyi forcefully slapped away Zhao Kun
's unruly hands, her expression slightly angry. "Hmph! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid he'll kill
you?"

For some reason, upon hearing Zhang Yiyi's words, Zhao Kun's face instantly darkened, a barely concealed anger flickering
across . His wicked actions ceased, he coldly snorted,
pushed Zhang Yiyi away from his arms, and stood up alone, silently gazing at the distant sea, radiating an aura of
unease .

After a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Heh, afraid? Of course I'm afraid! But what's the use of being afraid?
Do you think he'll let me go if I don't touch you? I've followed him for so many years, I know him too well. He's
a real wolf, he only ever thinks of himself! I know so many of his secrets,
there's no way he'll let me go, it's just a matter of time! He's not making a move now only because he thinks I'm still somewhat
useful!"

"How do you know he thinks that way? You're not him! I think you're just making excuses for your infidelity
!

You not only touched his woman, but you also secretly kept a lot of goods, don't think I don't know!" Zhang Yiyi
seemed a little dissatisfied with his rudeness earlier, and took the opportunity to say sarcastically.

Him? Liu Guopei listened carefully to the conversation between the two, while thinking about this "him" in his mind. Who is
this "him"? Zhao Kun said that he had followed that person for several years, which means that person's status must be higher than his.
Could it be Xiao Qing!? Liu Guopei suddenly had such a speculation.

I remember when I went to the Qingdi Club before, I overheard some thugs from the Qinglang Gang talking about Zhao Kun.
They all called him "Brother Kun," which meant Zhao Kun's status in the Qinglang Gang was definitely not low! And Zhang Yiyi
said Zhao Kun was disloyal, so this "him" must be even more important!
Who else in the Qinglang Gang could have such a position besides Xiao Qing!

But why did Zhao Kun seem so angry when he talked about Xiao Qing? He even said Xiao Qing wouldn't let him off the hook? Could there
be internal strife within the Qinglang Gang? If my analysis is correct, that's good news!
The infighting within the organization could greatly weaken the Green Wolf Gang's power, giving him another opening!

The voice in his ear rang out again, "Yes, I was disloyal, but that just proves I'm not stupid! Because
there's only one outcome for loyalty: death!! Just today, he sent someone to West City to kill a
loyal ! The reason for silencing him was that the brother knew too much and was exposed to the police,
so only by silencing him could he avoid any danger!"

As he spoke, Zhao Kun's voice suddenly became sorrowful, "Perhaps that brother is already dead!
Heh he thought he had covered his tracks perfectly, that no one would know! Actually, I know everything, and this
isn't the first time he's done something like this! Tell me, do I still need to be loyal to someone like that?!"

"You're telling me all this, aren't you afraid I'll tell him? Or are you also planning to kill me to silence me?" Zhang Yi
was silent for a moment, then asked softly, but her tone was very calm, without a trace of fear.

"Haha, if someone else knew my secret, I might actually kill them, but if it's you, Miss
Zhang , then I have absolutely nothing to worry about! Not only will you not betray me, but you'll also do everything you can to
cover for me! Because now, you can't live without me! No, to be precise, you can't live without this!"
Zhao Kun took out a small, transparent plastic bag from his pocket and waved it in front of Zhang Yiyi. Inside were two white
pills, the same kind that Zhang Yiyi had just swallowed.

"This is simply a gift from God..." "A masterpiece! No one can resist it. Once you're hooked, you'll
never be able to leave!" Zhao Kun held the plastic bag up to his eyes, staring at it intently through the light, his eyes
unblinking, as if he were looking at a stunning beauty with intense fervor. "Over the years, I've seen through it all
, and I'm tired of being someone else's lackey, being bossed around, beaten and killed at will.
I've fucking had enough!" By the end, Zhao Kun was practically shouting, as if using these roars
to vent long-suppressed discontent in his heart.

"Hahaha, now I finally don't have to play the fool anymore! What I've been secretly researching for years has finally come to
fruition! It will be a 'divine weapon,' and I will use it to build my own 'kingdom'! Although it's
still in the experimental stage, I believe that before long, it will monopolize the entire drug market in Zhonghai, China, and even
the world !" Zhao Kun's eyes shone with a burning light, like a madman.

Zhang Yiyi involuntarily shivered, a chill creeping into her heart. This man was simply a terrifying
madman. Her eyes were filled with complex emotions as she looked at the plastic bag in his hand, her mind a jumble of indescribable turmoil! But one thing he
was right about: she had indeed become inseparable from this thing. It was this thing that had turned her into the
promiscuous woman she was now, stripping her of her last shred of dignity. She felt hatred, resistance, and
fear , but above all, she felt a burning, intense desire

. Zhao Kun noticed Zhang Yiyi's change and chuckled wickedly. "How about it? My dear Zhang, the great host,
do you want it? As long as you agree to one condition, not only will you get these two, but you can have them whenever you want in the future!"
His tone was full of temptation and provocation.

"No, I don't want anything. What do you want?" Zhang Yi opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refuse, but the thought of the excruciating pain of
withdrawal her hesitate. Finally
, unable to resist the urge, she closed her eyes and resignedly asked the question that might lead her further down this path.
As she closed her eyes, two tears streamed down her face. To be honest, as she said those words, Zhang Yi wished she could kill herself;
perhaps death would spare her from this humiliation.

"It's simple, just a small favor from you, Mr. Zhang! This drug is still in the experimental stage,
and there are still some areas for improvement. So, besides you, my darling, I need to find someone else to test its effects!
Hehe, I hope you can..." Zhao Kun's expression suddenly turned ingratiating, a sly smile plastered
on his face, his fat and wrinkles bunching up as he laughed.

Seeing Zhao Kun's ugly appearance, Zhang Yi felt nauseous, wanting to vomit. "
Aren't there enough people you've corrupted? You can grab a handful anytime. Do you need me to find one for you?"

"Hmph! Those trash don't deserve this medicine!" Zhao Kun waved his hand dismissively.
"They're not even worth as much as this one pill! If we're going to find someone to test the medicine, of course we need a
stunning beauty on par with you, the great host Zhang! The stronger their resistance and willpower, the better. I've been thinking about someone for a long time, and they're perfect
, I just need your help, my dear.

" "Who?"

Zhao Kun smiled darkly, slowly walked up to Zhang Yiyi, brought his head close to her chest and took a deep sniff, then
slowly moved upwards and finally jerked it up, almost touching Zhang Yiyi's flushed face,
and said in a low voice, word by word, "Your good sister, Tang Zixin!!" A wicked glint
flashed !

87 Zhang Yiyi's Choice

...

Gusts of sea breeze howled across the boundless blue horizon, pushing the white waves against the stranded rocks on
the shore with a whooshing sound. The air was fresh and carried
the faint salty scent of the sea.

At another time, or with another person, this scene might have been a pleasant and enjoyable experience.

But life is often dramatic. For Liu Guopei at this moment, there
was no time for enjoyment, not even a second of relaxation. He desperately needed to concentrate at 200% of his attention to hear
every word Zhao Kun and Zhang Yiyi said, afraid of missing any useful information. Because at this moment, anything
could potentially affect his entire future plans, and deep down, he also hoped to glean some information about his wife, Tang Zixin,
from .

Earlier, to avoid being discovered by Zhang Yiyi, Liu Guopei had deliberately kept a distance,
not very close, just enough to barely hear them talking. Now, with the howling sea wind and the
increasingly loud waves crashing against the rocks, it was impossible to hear their conversation clearly.
Even with all his might, he could only glean a few fragmented words.

"Help." "...

"

"Your sister.

" "Damn it!!" Liu Guopei cursed inwardly, instantly becoming extremely frustrated, and stretched out his right hand, slamming it into the air...
He swung his hand fiercely. Damn sea wind! Of all times, it had to come now, making it impossible for him
to hear them at this crucial moment. Even fate wasn't on his side!

Not wanting to miss this rare opportunity, Liu Guopei, clinging to his last shred of hope,
tried again, concentrating intently. Of course, the result was that besides seeing their lips moving up and down, he
still couldn't make out the conversation.

The howling sea wind grew stronger and stronger, showing no sign of stopping. Liu Guopei knew there
was nothing he could do, and despite his reluctance, he could only give up helplessly. Thinking it over, it seemed
almost impossible to get any more information from Zhao Kun and Zhang Yiyi's conversation. Since he couldn't hear them,
rather than wasting time here and risking being discovered and ruining everything, he should leave and go back to
his car .

The fact that the speedboat was docked on the shore and that Zhang Yiyi had driven alone instead of taking a taxi
suggested that their meeting was temporary, and most likely just to deliver that paper bag! So
Zhang Yiyi would naturally have to separate from Zhao Kun again and go back to the city alone. He could take this
opportunity to see her and find out from her exactly what had happened to his wife, Tang Zixin, that he
didn't know about! Having made up his mind, Liu Guopei turned and quietly left.

Looking at the beautiful, elegant, and poised female host on Zhonghai TV, now lying

naked and sweating profusely before him, receiving pleasure from him, Zhao Kun felt a
wicked sense of satisfaction! Tsk tsk, that figure, so curvaceous and shapely, no wonder Wang Laogui had his eye on her. He
could never get tired of her, she always gave him such intense pleasure, he couldn't stop. If this one was so
exciting , then the other one would be even more so. Now that he had this thing, he wasn't afraid they couldn't escape.
Sooner or later, both of them would obediently lie under his crotch, and he could do whatever he wanted with them! Heh heh

, the wicked thoughts Zhao Kun had just vented on Zhang Yiyi resurfaced
, and his penis hardened once more. He walked over to the disheveled Zhang Yiyi,
extending a large hand to slowly caress her shapely, long legs, from her instep to her calves, thighs
, and finally to her labia, before inserting his hand into her wet vagina.

"My beautiful Zhang, how about it! Have you considered my suggestion, hmm?" Zhao Kun
whispered in Zhang Yiyi's ear, his face still bearing that
sinister .

Zhang Yiyi didn't answer, just sat there blankly, seemingly still
reeling from Zhao Kun's words. Fine beads of sweat covered her forehead, her damp hair clung to her hairline, and
her flushed face remained expressionless, just staring blankly.

"Hmm, why aren't you saying anything? Want it again?" Zhao Kun's movements became increasingly excessive,
slowly invading the inside of her vagina, forcefully teasing the mysterious spring water.

"Ah, get away!!" Zhang Yiyi, who had just been staring blankly, suddenly let out a sharp scream,
forcefully pushing away Zhao Kun, who was practically glued to her, and then unconsciously slapping him
across !

*Slap!*

Accompanying Zhang Yiyi's action was a crisp slap.

"You beast, don't even dream about it! Even if I die, I won't help you. I've already wronged
Zixin enough, I will never help you harm her again!!" Zhang Yiyi stood up, her hair disheveled, and shouted
hysterically at Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun truly hadn't expected that Zhang Yiyi, who had just been submissive to him, would react so strongly after hearing his 'plan,'
as if she had suddenly become a different person! And, moreover, she even dared to slap
him !!

A profound sense of defeat filled Zhao Kun's almost twisted heart,
igniting ! He also knew that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, he
would find it difficult to conquer her emotionally later!

*Slap!*

Zhao Kun swung his large hand at Zhang Yiyi, then forcefully shoved her onto the sand,
gripping her neck tightly! He roared with a ferocious expression, "You slut! You don't know what's good for you, do you?!" *

Slap slap!* With one hand gripping Zhang Yiyi's neck, he slapped her several more times with the other! "You whore, you dare hit
me!" "Ugh—ugh—" Zhang Yiyi, her neck gripped, couldn't breathe. She struggled

violently beneath Zhao Kun in agony , five clear finger marks appearing on her delicate face. Tears slowly streamed down her cheeks . "Cough cough cough" The suffocating pain caused Zhang Yiyi to cough uncontrollably, her face filled with terror, her complexion slowly turning from flushed to purplish-red. A sense of impending death washed over her. "Hmph—!" Zhao Kun sneered coldly, then forcefully released her grip. Of course, he had only intended to teach Zhang Yiyi a lesson, to instill fear in her and force her complete submission; he wouldn't actually kill her. "Cough cough" Having finally recovered, Zhang Yiyi clutched her throat, unable to utter a word, only gasping for breath. "Hehehe, good!! Since you don't want to do it, then I'll grant your wish. Let's see how much backbone our Zhonghai TV station's most beautiful host, Zhang, has! From now on, I won't force you, and I won't contact you anymore. Of course, you can no longer get this from me." Zhao Kun said, shaking the bottle in his hand. "Hehe, let's see how long you can be so tough! As long as you can resist its temptation for a week and don't come looking for me, then will definitely not bother you again!" After saying that, Zhao Kun stretched out his right index finger and thumb and gently stroked Zhang Yiyi's sexy chin, a sly smile playing on his lips . "Darling, I'm leaving now. You have to be strong. I've already granted your wish, and what I said earlier is still valid! But if you can't hold on, remember you can always come find me. I'm a very generous man. As long as you agree to my proposal, everything is fine. Remember, don't torture yourself if you can't hold on! Look at your pretty face, it'll break my heart, hahaha." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kun released Zhang Yiyi's chin, then lowered his head and kissed her cheek hard. Laughing, he grabbed the brown paper bag and strode towards the speedboat docked at the shore, leaving behind only trembling, utterly helpless...

Zhang Yiyi was filled with terror.

Time ticked by, and she remained rooted to the spot, seemingly still gripped by the fear of what had just transpired,
Zhao Kun's words echoing in her mind.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally reached out with trembling hands to pick up her scattered
clothes , haphazardly pulling them over her naked, mottled body. Her once beautiful short hair
was now a mess from the frantic shaking. Slowly, she straightened up, grabbed her bag from the sand, pulled out a few
tissues , and began to carefully wipe away the filthy secretions Zhao Kun had left on her. Looking at the soaked tissues,
as she wiped, perhaps thinking of her predicament, Zhang Yiyi's eyes reddened again, and
tears of humiliation streamed down her face…

Her eyes stared blankly at the wet tissues on the ground, her mind churning with conflicting emotions. Was this fate that had brought
her such misfortune? What had she done wrong to deserve such punishment?

He absolutely couldn't drag Zixin down with him anymore, he couldn't hurt her any more!

But did he have a choice?

"Chapter 88 Illusion and Reality"

A sudden roar of an engine echoed from below the cliff, gradually
fading away after half a minute, seemingly disappearing into the distance.

Hearing this sound, Liu Guopei knew Zhao Kun had separated from Zhang Yiyi. The engine noise
clearly came from the speedboat Zhao Kun had driven, meaning he had left. It seemed Zhang Yiyi would be coming up
soon , and the time for him to uncover the mysteries surrounding his wife, Tang Zixin,
wasn't far off.

But for some reason, Liu Guopei suddenly felt uneasy, anxious, or rather
—lacking confidence… He had always longed to understand the truth of the matter, to understand what had happened to
his wife , what had caused her to betray their nearly
ten-year relationship time and time again! When he first learned of his wife Tang Zixin's infidelity, Liu Guopei's first reaction was
only one: impossible! He firmly believed he was overthinking things, and with almost no hesitation, he
unconditionally chose to trust her! It was trust in his wife, trust in himself, and
trust in the ten years they had shared, supporting each other through thick and thin, starting from nothing!

But as his investigations deepened, his wife Tang Zixin's repeated
lies, and Meng Yuan's witnessing, to be honest—Liu Guopei's heart wavered… He was no longer as
confident as before… Although even now, Liu Guopei knew that deep down he still loved his wife and still wanted to
salvage their fragile relationship, relationships are always a matter between two people, and people change.
Even if his wife loved him two months ago, what about now? Does she still love him now? Perhaps
after these two months of change, she has… stopped loving him?

After his wife deleted him from her QQ friends list, cutting off their only connection, Liu Guopei began
to doubt his wife's love for the first time! If she still loved him, why would she be so
'heartless'? She didn't even mention her daughter Jiajia when she left, which Liu Guopei found
unbelievable. This was definitely not the dignified and kind wife he remembered!
All pointed to the worst possible outcome, the one he couldn't accept! These signs had almost
completely shattered Liu Guopei!

If it weren't for Meng Yuan's words that gave Liu Guopei a glimmer of hope, he believed
that his relationship with his wife might have reached a point of no return! It was this last sliver of
hope that made Liu Guopei determined to find out the cause and effect of everything! Even if his wife really didn't love him anymore and
had fallen for that old bastard Xiao Qing, Liu Guopei had to make her say it herself, otherwise he wouldn't be
at peace !

Huff... As if realizing that his mindset was somewhat unbalanced, Liu Guopei sat up straight, exhaled a deep breath
, and regained his composure, his gaze fixed on the only path connecting the cliff and the coast,
waiting Zhang Yiyi to appear.

To Liu Guopei's surprise, ten minutes passed, and still no
one . Hmm? Where's Zhang Yiyi? Why hasn't she shown up yet? Judging from the speedboat noise, Zhao Kun had already left
. Since they had separated, there was no reason for Zhang Yiyi not to appear. If her car hadn't been still parked
there, Liu Guopei would have thought she might have left while he was lost in thought.

He waited another five minutes, but still no sign of Zhang Yiyi. Oh no!! Suddenly, Liu Guopei had a bad feeling, a possibility forming in his mind —could it be… he had guessed wrong from the start, and she had left
with Zhao Kun ? Thinking of this, Liu Guopei couldn't sit still. If Zhang Yiyi really had left with Zhao Kun, then all his efforts here would have been wasted. No, he couldn't just wait like this any longer! Liu Guopei decided to sneak down and check again. He opened the car door and slowly walked towards the edge of the cliff. Since the sound of the speedboat indicated Zhao Kun had left, and he had originally planned to speak with Zhang Yiyi face-to-face anyway, Liu Guopei no longer bothered to conceal himself. He hurried to the edge of the cliff, descended the rocky path, and started walking down. Sure enough, as he neared the bottom, Liu Guopei discovered the speedboat that had been moored beside the beach was gone, confirming his suspicions—Zhao Kun was gone. However, this also strongly suggested that Zhang Yiyi might have gone with him! Seemingly determined to verify this, Liu Guopei disregarded everything else and sped forward, arriving at the spot where Zhang Yiyi and Zhao Kun had met. Heh…it seemed fate wasn't on his side. Looking at the empty space before him, Liu Guopei stood frozen, giving a self-deprecating bitter laugh. Zhang Yiyi was indeed gone! Scattered on the beach were two or three wads of damp white toilet paper and a few torn pieces of flesh-colored stockings. The air was thick with the smell , mixed with a faint fishy odor… Sigh… He was too late. It was all his fault for being so arrogant. Liu Guopei was filled with regret. He had thought everything would go according to his plan, and he could simply wait patiently. Reality had played a cruel joke on him, wasting such a golden opportunity. It seemed Zhang Yiyi had left with Zhao Kun on the speedboat. At first…

Hoping to get some information about his wife, Tang Zixin, from Zhang Yiyi today
,

Liu Guopei's efforts were in vain. Helpless, he could only wait for another opportunity. He turned to leave, not wanting to
stay . If he didn't leave, the sight of the slightly yellowed, damp
toilet paper on the ground would involuntarily bring to mind the erotic yet filthy scene that had just unfolded there. A wave of nausea
surged to his throat, and he involuntarily gagged, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Time truly can change a person. The beautiful, cheerful,
and sweet-talking short-haired woman who used to call him "brother-in-law" was gone. Her former competence had been
replaced by desire and sex; she had lost herself in indulgence and become the wanton young woman she was now. Perhaps
Zhang Yiyi's transformation wasn't of her own volition; there might be some unknown reason behind it.
But regardless, one thing will never change: she has changed. From Director Wu to Zhao Kun,
all she has shown in his eyes is licentiousness and debauchery… Time has changed Zhang Yiyi, so
… what about his wife? Will his wife, Tang Zixin, change?

Liu Guopei didn't think about it, his steps crunching on the soft, golden sand. To be precise, he
dared not think about it, because the answer deep in his heart was not what he wanted to see… As he walked,
the scene suddenly changed… His wife, Tang Zixin, suddenly appeared before him, smiling as
she walked towards him along the long coastline. His wife, Zixin, wore a light blue suit with a narrow silk skirt, alluringly short,
reaching between . Her beautiful legs, encased in crystal-clear flesh-colored stockings, were full of muscular beauty and perfectly
proportioned. A pair of jade-like feet were encased in exquisite light blue high-heeled strappy sandals, breathtakingly beautiful.
Her long, snow-white legs, exposed beneath her full, shapely hips, were almost within sight. Her skin was flawless and fair, and her shapely legs
were clad in sheer, high-quality crystal-clear flesh-colored stockings, making the lines from her thighs to her calves
smooth and even like satin. The light blue three-inch stilettos she wore accentuated her delicate ankles and fair insteps, making
them appear exquisitely slender—it was simply breathtaking!

"Zixin, you're back!" Liu Guopei involuntarily whispered softly. It all felt so
real, and his feet unconsciously moved towards his wife.

"Guopei!" His wife's familiar and melodious voice rang in his ears.

One step, two steps… closer and closer… However, just as the two were about to grasp each other's hands
, Liu Guopei suddenly stopped. Behind his wife, Tang Zixin, a
portly . On the man's arm, a
cold, menacing wolf tattoo with a gaping, bloody jaws gleamed… In a daze, he only saw the man's narrow, sinister eyes mocking him,
his gaze filled with sarcasm and contempt. Then, he reached out his large arms and began to caress his wife's beautiful legs, clad in sheer,
flesh-colored stockings. As he touched her, he thrust his chest forward, pressing very close to her back.
He reached forward and unbuttoned the two buttons at her waist, pulling down the side zipper of her tight skirt.
With a soft "whoosh," her skirt slid down to her ankles, revealing a vibrant
purple … A blur of reality and illusion, a dreamlike vision… In

Chapter 89, "Brother-in-

Law," the wife has become even more beautiful and voluptuous. Unlike her previous noble and dignified appearance, she now possesses
a more alluring and feminine beauty, seductive and graceful. Long, flowing black curls drape over her shoulders, and her high
, full breasts appear even more prominent and firm against her skin. Her body sways slightly, as if dancing,
graceful and full of charm. Her full breasts tremble slightly, and the narrow hem of her light blue suit skirt
reveals a glimpse of her fair, jade-like flesh, and
a cleavage that would set any man's eyes ablaze. Beneath the silk skirt are her once proudly protruding buttocks.
The peony blossoms, their vibrant petals unfolding layer upon layer, were parted from the hem of the skirt lifted by the middle-aged man. The petals were purple, deep purple, or even a dark purple—
an indescribably eerie sight… Although these scenes, like that dream from before, were merely illusions,
from another perspective, weren't they also the thoughts hidden deep within Liu Guopei's heart? He simply
refused to face them… And for Liu Guopei at this moment, it all felt so real. "No,
Zixin, no! Push him away, come to me!!" Seeing this heart-wrenching scene before him,
Liu Guopei's head felt like it was exploding, the excruciating pain unbearable. He staggered forward two steps, trying to wake his wife, Tang Zixin
, and pull her away from the middle-aged man.

But his wife, Tang Zixin, seemed completely oblivious to Liu Guopei's calls. Slowly, she leaned against the middle-aged
man's hairy chest, gently biting her right hand fingers with her teeth, gazing at him with seductive eyes
. Her chest was surrounded by lace, through which one could vaguely see her red areolas. Below her chest was
a sheer fabric, revealing her still-smooth abdomen and slightly concave navel. Through the sheer,
high-quality crystal-clear flesh-colored stockings, barely visible, was a pair of pink panties, just
a small piece of fabric covering her lower body. Her legs were tightly closed, making the inner thighs indistinct. Her face was flushed, adding to
her allure … The middle-aged man looked at her provocatively while forcefully pulling her
long, flowing hair, as black as ink. He lifted her thigh from behind with his left hand, and with the other hand, he gently lifted
her skirt and tossed it aside. He then unbuttoned a few buttons on her shirt,
and soon she was only wearing a light blue shirt. Her lower body was no longer covered by a tight skirt, revealing only her beautiful thighs encased in stockings,
and a glimpse of black silk peeking out from her pink panties… “Zixin!” Feeling
the mockery and contempt in the man’s eyes, Liu Guopei felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. His reason had been exhausted,
his eyes were bloodshot, and he was burning with rage. Just as he was about to break through his wife's last line of defense, she
showed no sign of resistance. On the contrary, her eyes were alluring, and she seemed to be both reluctant and shy. Furious, she
picked up and walked forward with a cold gaze. "Xiao Qing, I'm going to kill you myself!!"

"Fuck you, die!" Facing the man before him, Liu Guopei gritted his teeth and roared,
smashing the rock down on his head!

*Thud!* With a low thud, the scene before him abruptly shifted and
vanished , leaving only the stone crashing onto the golden sand and the faint echo of Xiao Qing's provocative mockery
… As the image disappeared, Liu Guopei felt as if all the energy had been drained away. He collapsed
to his knees, his hands supporting him on the sand, panting heavily. Large beads of cold sweat covered his forehead,
and his back was soaked. The memory of the hallucination filled him with dread and lingering fear.

A hallucination, thank goodness it was just a hallucination… Liu Guopei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his left hand, thinking to himself with
a sense of relief. His wife, Zixin, would never be that kind of person. It was all in his imagination. How
could she allow someone to tattoo such a private area on her inner thigh? Yes! It must be because of the immense
pressure , and the constant, subconscious thought of the words "Peony, Tang Zixin" written on that note
, coupled with the erotic scene he'd just witnessed between Zhang Yiyi and Zhao Kun, that caused
that hallucination!

Yes, that's it! Liu Guopei explained to himself again, swaying slightly before
firmly standing up. He unconsciously glanced back one last time at the filthy, disgusting place where Zhang Yiyi and Zhao Kun had been fooling
around . Looking at that small spot, he felt a strange magic about it, always
reminding him of his wife. His gaze unconsciously fell again on the wads of damp toilet paper on the ground. For some
reason , seeing this made the image of Zhang Yiyi and Zhao Kun making love in his mind slowly shift,
gradually transforming into his wife, Tang Zixin… The clear, bright sky couldn't dispel
the gloom, the oppression, the heartache, and the myriad complex emotions in Liu Guopei's heart. No, I need to leave this place as soon as possible. Liu Guopei shook his head
vigorously , trying to erase that absurd image from his mind. Here, he would always naturally
imagine Zhang Yiyi and Zhao Kun together as his wife and Xiao Qing together. If he continued to stay, he
would eventually break down. Without thinking further, he hurriedly walked back along the path he had come from.

"Sister...Brother-in-law!" Just as Liu Guopei had taken about ten steps, a
soft yet questioning female voice suddenly came from behind him. The voice sounded very weak, as if someone had been ill for a long time.

"Is Chapter Ninety about Zixin?"

Liu Guopei stopped abruptly upon hearing the voice behind him, quite surprised.
The voice was somewhat familiar; if he wasn't mistaken, it should be Zhang Yiyi's!

Curious, Liu Guopei turned around. Sure enough, two meters behind him, Zhang Yiyi
stood there timidly, looking puzzled and weak, seemingly surprised by his sudden appearance. Having not seen her for only
half an hour, Liu Guopei noticed that her complexion had inexplicably turned pale and weak.
No wonder her voice had sounded strange earlier, and her eyes were red, as if she had just been crying.
Her clothes were somewhat disheveled, and her shoulder-length short hair was loosely tied in twos and threes on either side, as if she had just gotten up. Upon closer inspection, one
could even see some grit stuck in the black strands of hair. Two buttons on the front of her shirt had fallen off,
revealing a small patch of her fair skin and a shallow, alluring cleavage that was faintly visible.

But these weren't the most surprising things to Liu Guopei. What shocked him most was that Zhang Yiyi's once
delicate and tender cheeks were now swollen, and there were five clear handprints imprinted on them! She had been beaten
!

He had followed her to this beach cautiously the whole time, and he was certain that from the moment they arrived
until now, there had only been three people—Zhang Yiyi, Zhao Kun, and himself! Of course he wouldn't hit her,
so it seems she was definitely beaten by Zhao Kun! It seems a lot happened between
them .

"Sister...Brother-in-law, what are you doing here!" Seemingly noticing Liu Guopei's attention on her swollen
face, Zhang Yi instinctively covered her cheek with her hand.

Seeing Zhang Yi's pitiful appearance now, coupled with witnessing Zhao Kun's
abuse of her, Liu Guopei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling somewhat uneasy. It seemed she was a pitiful
person too.

Regardless, before all these recent events, he
had always had a good impression of his wife Tang Zixin's best friend. Although after so many things, his opinion of her was no
longer the same, especially since he still
resented her for not informing him beforehand that Wu Jianxin was setting a trap for him, and after this period of investigation, he also looked down on her elegant appearance in public and lewd behavior in private.
But ultimately, it was her business; he couldn't interfere. She had no obligation to help him, and there was no direct
evidence to prove her involvement in Wu Jianxin's actions against him.

Before coming, although he was determined to get
news of his wife from her at all costs, even by violence, seeing her like this, especially that "brother-in-law" reminding Liu Guopei of the
times he had dined with his wife, Tang Zixin, and her, he suddenly found himself
unable to be ruthless . The questions he had so urgently wanted to ask her were swallowed back down.

Liu Guopei realized that he hadn't been as decisive and resolute as before
. Having navigated the business world for so many years, he had never been a soft-hearted or indecisive person; otherwise,
he wouldn't have amassed a fortune of tens of millions in just a few years. But now, it seemed that many
things … Finally, after much thought, Liu Guopei decided to talk to Zhang Yiyi frankly,
refusing to be soft-hearted. He needed to see his wife, regardless of whether she had changed her mind, and he needed
to know everything that had happened to her!

Having made up his mind, Liu Guopei walked decisively towards Zhang Yiyi amidst her questioning gaze. He stared intently at
her swollen eyes, then suddenly grabbed her hand that was covering her cheek, slowly removing it.
His tone was serious as he asked, "Zhao Kun, did he hit you?"

As he removed Zhang Yiyi's hand, Liu Guopei could clearly feel her body trembling,
her shoulders shaking slightly, as if she were about to collapse. Moreover, upon hearing the name Zhao Kun, her
eyelids twitched involuntarily, and a hint of fear flickered in her eyes, as if she were terrified.

"Sister...you, how did you know?" Zhang Yiyi asked, her eyes wide and red from crying.
Her voice was somewhat incoherent, but it was clear she found it hard to believe Liu Guopei could
mention Zhao Kun's name.

Liu Guopei smiled wryly, then reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took
two . He knew there was no point in beating around the bush at this point; it
would be better for them to talk openly and honestly. "I followed you here. I've been here the whole time!" After saying this, Liu Guopei turned to face the sea
, gazing into the distance in silence.

"You saw everything..." Hearing Liu Guopei's words, Zhang Yiyi's cheeks flushed instantly. She
knew what Liu Guopei meant—he'd been here the whole time. He
must . But she still blurted out the question instinctively, only to realize
the awkwardness of it and swallow her words.

"Yi Yi, you and Zi Xin are as close as sisters, and I've always considered you a friend. There are some things I want to
know from you, and I hope you can answer me truthfully!" Liu Guopei took a deep drag, then exhaled smoke
rings. Ultimately, considering the past, he adopted a more conciliatory tone, not being particularly forceful.

"I'm here today to get answers, and I know far more than you think!
For example... about you and Zhao Kun! Or... about you and Wu Jianxin! Of course,
I won't interfere in these matters, nor do I want to. The purpose of this is to make one thing clear: don't
lie to me! You just need to tell me the answers I want, and then I'll leave immediately! I
didn't see anything today!" It has to be said, this is the art of conversation. Liu Guopei deliberately gave Zhang
Yi face in this sentence, and also cut off some of her ulterior motives. If Zhang Yi still refused to tell the truth in the end,
then she couldn't blame him for being impolite.

Zhang Yi didn't speak, only staring intently at Liu Guopei, as if trying to see through him. Her expression was extremely
complex, and her body had calmed down, no longer swaying. However, one could tell from her expression that she seemed to be engaged in a
fierce internal struggle.

After a long while, she opened her lips, which were somewhat dry from being exposed to the sunlight for so long, and asked in a low, deep voice,
"What you want to ask, is it about... Zixin?"
