Chapter 265 Fu Siyan has vanished without a trace.

"What a coincidence." Zhou Baiting walked over, and the driver automatically stepped aside.

Shen Qingshu held her phone, looking at Zhou Baiting expressionlessly. "Mr. Zhou, let's call the police and go through insurance."

Zhou Baiting raised his hand and pushed up his glasses. "It's my responsibility. Miss Shen can name a price to settle this privately."

"No need." Shen Qingshu dialed the police number. "Just follow the normal procedure when reporting a crime."

Zhou Baiting looked at Shen Qingshu, his eyes smiling behind his glasses.

After finishing her call, Shen Qingshu planned to wait by the roadside for the traffic police to arrive.

"Miss Shen, I have some inside information about Fu Siyan. Would you be willing to hear it?"

“I’m not interested in my ex-husband’s affairs.” Shen Qingshu looked at him coldly, her eyes icy. “I don’t have a good impression of President Zhou either. I’d appreciate it if President Zhou would keep his distance.”

Zhou Baiting raised an eyebrow. "But I'm quite interested in Miss Shen."

Shen Qingshu frowned, clearly having no desire to deal with it at all.

A familiar figure walked towards them.

"Zhou Baiting".

Song Lanyin walked over and grabbed Zhou Baiting's arm. "What happened? Did you rear-end someone?"

Zhou Baiting glanced at Song Lanyin and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I went shopping and was just about to head back when I got stuck in traffic. I saw your back from inside the car and it looked so familiar. Turns out it really was you!"

Song Lanyin smiled sweetly at Zhou Baiting, appearing every inch the little bird seeking shelter.

Shen Qingshu looked on expressionlessly.

Zhou Baiting was very satisfied with Song Lanyin's tactful way of satisfying his male vanity in public.

He smiled and said, "Miss Shen doesn't accept a private settlement. You two are Fu Siyan's ex-wife and fiancée, so you should be considered acquaintances. Why don't you talk to Miss Shen for me?"

Upon hearing this, Song Lanyin turned her gaze to Shen Qingshu.

Their eyes met, and Shen Qingshu's expression remained indifferent.

Song Lanyin laughed, "Miss Shen, don't take it so seriously. Our luxury car crashed into your BMW, so we're the ones who suffer more. Let's keep it simple and settle the matter privately. Waiting for the traffic police to arrive at this hour is too much trouble."

The traffic police arrived as soon as he finished speaking.

Shen Qingshu ignored them and turned to find the traffic police.

Song Lanyin looked at Shen Qingshu, who was talking to the traffic police, and then turned to Zhou Baiting, "I have no choice. If you want to call the police, then call the police. Let the driver handle the car. You can go back in the car you're in?"

Zhou Baiting turned his gaze away from Shen Qingshu, put his arm around Song Lanyin's slender waist and turned around, "You're so sensible. It's no wonder Fu Siyan didn't cherish a woman as sensible as Shen Qingshu."

"Please! Don't compare her to me!" Song Lanyin rolled her eyes impatiently. "She's a stupid woman who was dumped by Fu Siyan. I'm different. I'm the bad woman who dumped Fu Siyan!"

Zhou Baiting lowered his head and whispered meaningfully in her ear, "I like bad women. I bought a new nightgown. Wear it to me tonight, okay?"

A million curses ran through Song Lanyin's mind, but she smiled charmingly and sweetly, "We're outside, so keep your voice down!"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Zhou Baiting scoffed. "I like excitement. How about we do it right here in the car..."

"I'm not going to play along with your crazy antics!" Song Lanyin glared at him, her voice alluring and coquettish. "We're getting married next week, and I've prepared an even bigger surprise for you, so don't be in such a hurry!"

Zhou Baiting felt a surge of pleasure as she coaxed him.

This pleasurable feeling captivated him more than any actual physical activity.

Compared to Zhou Yuchu, Song Lanyin was much more to his liking.

He laughed and said, "Of all the women Fu Siyan has had, you are the one I'm most satisfied with, Song Lanyin. You must always be as sensible as you are now, remember that?"

Song Lanyin opened the driver's side door, leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, "I'll remember that, Lord Zhou."

This is Song Lanyin's pet name for Zhou Baiting.

Zhou Baiting's Adam's apple bobbed, and his hand tightened around her slender waist. Before he could make his next move, a car behind them honked its horn.

The driver leaned out and said, "All the cars in front have driven away, can you guys hurry up? I'm in a rush to pick up my kid from school!"

The resentment of modern-day parents is heavier than that of ghosts.

Song Lanyin opened the back door, shoved Zhou Baiting into the car, closed the door, and gave the driver an apologetic smile, "I'll be leaving right away, sorry!"

She bent down to get into the car and gently pressed the accelerator to drive forward.

As she passed by Shen Qingshu, she realized that Wen Jingxi had arrived at some point.

Through the car window, Song Lanyin and Wen Jingxi exchanged a glance for a moment.

She accurately caught the disgust in Wen Jingxi's eyes.

Song Lanyin smiled and looked away, her expression unchanged, but her hands on the steering wheel tightened slightly.

Damn, I hope Wen Jingxi didn't see the scene of her kissing Zhou Baiting.

...

When Shen Qingshu called Wen Jingxi, Wen Jingxi happened to be nearby and drove over directly.

He parked the car on the side of the road and got out. The first thing he saw was Song Lanyin kissing Zhou Baiting.

From his angle, Song Lanyin's lips were pressed against Zhou Baiting's lips.

Wen Jingxi scoffed coldly, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards Shen Qingshu.

But a strange, sarcastic thought ran through her mind: What a gold-digging woman who only cares about power! She can't even bring herself to sleep with a scoundrel like Zhou Baiting!

Shen Qingshu notified the 4S store that the car would be sent back to the 4S store for repairs, and the remaining compensation matters would be handled by the insurance company, so Shen Qingshu didn't need to worry.

It just so happens that she and Wen Jingxi are going to Xicheng on a business trip in the next few days, so they don't need a car.

That evening, Qin Yancheng also took Qiao Xingjia and Xiao Xingchen home.

They've been in Yun Gui for almost half a month now, but Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi are both going on business trips, so there's not much point for them to stay in Yun Gui.

The next morning, Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi set off for Xicheng.

They are going to the western part of the city to visit a tomb.

Jiang Wenjin and several experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau will also be going.

This is also Shen Qingshu's first time officially entering a tomb since she entered the industry, which is a new challenge for her.

The originally planned four-day work trip was eventually extended to a week.

Several major events occurred in the northern part of the city this week.

The Fu family held a banquet, where Fu Baisheng, as the head of the family, announced that Jin Que was his only son and claimed that Fu Siyan had no blood relation to him or the Fu family, saying that Fu Siyan was the product of Qin Fang's affair with another man.

The banquet invited major media outlets in Beicheng. Fu Siyan went from being a distinguished heir to a wealthy family to an unknown bastard overnight!

Meanwhile, the official website of the Fu Group released the latest news, announcing that Jin Que has become the new president of the Fu Group, and that the Fu Group and the Fu family are no longer related to Fu Siyan.

For three consecutive days, the North City was abuzz with the news of the Fu family's dramatic changes.

However, Fu Siyan, one of the protagonists of the story, disappeared without a trace.

On the fourth day, the public's enthusiasm began to subside.

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled, an anonymous post suddenly appeared on various websites late at night—
