When Gu Chu met Rong Shi, she told him about the findings of her investigation.

“Rong Shi, this is Sheng Jinfeng and her brother’s hair, and this is my hair. Please keep it safe. I’m entrusting Qiu Chuji and He Shiran’s samples to you. I need to know the relationship between Sheng Jinfeng and her brother and Qiu Chuji, as well as my relationship with Qiu Chuji,” Gu Chu said.

Rong Shi took the sample bag and put it in the drawer. Then he looked up at the wall clock in the office and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Hmm, three minutes left."

"When...?"

"Um·········"

Before Gu Chu could finish speaking, Rong Shi pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

Gu Chu was drawn into Rong Shi's rhythm and passionately kissed him, but she felt inexplicably uneasy. This was Rong Shi's office, what if someone came in?

Fortunately, Rong Shi quickly let go of her: "I'll have someone take you home, and I'll pick you up tonight."

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

——

Wu Yanran obtained Huang Qijin's phone number from Su Wan, and arranged to meet Huang Qijin in Su Wan's name. The two met in the park.

"You are..." Huang Qijin had some impression of Wu Yanran, but not much.

Wu Yanran smiled and said, "I'm Wanwan's best friend. My name is Wu Yanran."

Huang Qijin asked curiously, "What do you want from me?"

Wu Yanran asked, "Aren't you surprised that Wanwan hung up on you?"

Huang Qijin asked, "Why?"

Wu Yanran said, "Because she likes you, so she wants to play hard to get."

Huang Qijin's heart skipped a beat: "You like me?"

Huang Qijin admitted that he was immediately struck by Su Wan's beauty when he first saw her, but he knew he couldn't control a woman who was too beautiful, especially after learning that Su Wan was pregnant, he gave up on the idea.

Wu Yanran nodded: "Yes, as you can see, she is pregnant, but the father of the child is dead. She has had feelings for you ever since you helped her catch the thief."

After learning that Huang Qijin was the son of the vice mayor, Wu Yanran subtly inquired about the relationship between Su Wan and Huang Qijin, and learned that Huang Qijin had helped Su Wan catch a thief.

Huang Qijin's mind was stirred, but she was still puzzled: "Then why didn't she say it herself?"

Wu Yanran said, "She has low self-esteem. What man would want to accept someone else's child? Especially someone like you with that kind of background."

Huang Qijin felt inexplicably proud upon hearing this. Indeed, he had a very good background; otherwise, Pan Hong wouldn't have been so frightened as to tell him the truth, or he would have become someone else's cheap father.

He asked, "Did you come to see me on her behalf?"

Wu Yanran smiled and said, "I guess so. I just came to ask what you think?"

Huang Qijin thought for a moment and said, "Su Wan is a very good person and she is beautiful. I would be willing to accept her and the child, but my father would definitely not agree."

Wu Yanran had already thought of a solution: "I have a way."

Huang Qijin asked excitedly, "What method?"

"Openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass," Wu Yanran said.

Huang Qijin became interested: "Tell me about it."

“I’m Wanwan’s best friend, and I don’t want her to have any regrets. You can get close to Wanwan through me. I’ll pretend you’re pursuing me to make Wanwan feel insecure. Then, after Wanwan has her baby, you can confess your feelings to her, and she will definitely accept you. Then you can have another child together, and your father shouldn’t mind.” Wu Yanran thought Huang Qijin wasn’t very smart, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken a liking to a woman like Pan Hong.

Indeed, Huang Qijin's mother was a Down syndrome patient, but her family had a powerful background. Huang Jianhan, being from a rural area, relied on his mother's family background to get where he is today. Huang Jianhan was focused on his career and hardly disciplined Huang Qijin. Huang Qijin grew up spoiled by his elders and developed a somewhat rebellious personality.

Since being tricked by the 'smart learning machine' incident, he was severely criticized by his father. Fortunately, his maternal grandparents' connections saved his father's life, but he also learned a lesson and decided not to easily trust women, especially those who are too beautiful.

Pan Hong wasn't very pretty, and their relationship was an accident; at that time, he held the initiative.

"You? Really for Su Wan?" Huang Qijin asked with some suspicion.

Wu Yanran felt no guilt whatsoever; she felt that these were all things she should do.

Why is it that Su Wan can get pregnant with Shen Baiyan's child, and Gu Chu can marry the battalion commander?

She was deceived and miscarried by a domestic abuser, but she refused to accept it and wanted to surpass them!

“Of course, otherwise do you think I would be interested in you?” Wu Yanran raised an eyebrow.

Believe it or not!

Seeing that Huang Qijin remained silent, Wu Yanran got up and left in an angry manner.

Seeing Wu Yanran leave, Huang Qijin became anxious: "Wait, I believe you."

That's how people are. When an opportunity is in front of them, they're not in a hurry at all, but when the opportunity is about to leave, they immediately become anxious, without considering whether it's an opportunity or a conspiracy, just trying to hold onto it first.

Huang Qijin followed after him: "Don't be angry, I was wrong."

Wu Yanran turned her nose up at him, completely ignoring him, as if she was really angry.

Huang Qijin added, "I'll treat you to dinner."

Seeing that she had put on airs enough, Wu Yanran stopped and said, "No need for dinner, let's drink. Drink more and make more friends."

"Yes, I've decided to be your friend!"

Wu Yanran achieved her goal, and the two left together.

That night, it got completely dark.

Gu Chu was just about to rest when her phone rang. Seeing that it was Rong Shi calling, she quickly answered.

“Chu Chu, I’m outside.” Rong Shi looked up at the window of Gu Chu’s room.

Gu Chu chuckled, "You actually came?"

Rong Shi's voice was deep and magnetic: "What, you don't like it?"

"No, wait a moment, I have a surprise for you."
