Lured into the Abyss

Married for two years, my husband showered me with immense affection. A video, however, shattered my existing happiness.

As an anonymous 블랙mailer relentlessly extorted me, I unexpectedly ...

Chapter 6 I'm a joke

Is this man Lu Zhiyuan?

Is he really having an affair with my sister?

Pursing my lips, I stared intently at the screen, trying to see the man's true face. Amidst a burst of ambiguous laughter, the man suddenly lifted Lan Feng and carried her sideways, walking straight into the bedroom.

I switched the camera with trembling fingers.

At the same time, the man had thrown Lan Feng onto the bed.

He took off his baseball cap and then hurriedly untied the belt around his waist.

When I saw the sparse hair under the hat, I was stunned at first, and then I saw the man's face clearly. It was not Lu Zhiyuan, but a middle-aged man I didn't know.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether I should be happy or ashamed.

Lu Zhiyuan did not cheat, it was all my misunderstanding.

He was so good to me, yet I was still suspicious and suspected that he had betrayed me.

When I think of this, I wish I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

On the bed, Lan Feng was making love with a man.

I breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily didn't bother to pursue her behavior of invading my house.

My stomach is rumbling, and all I want now is to order something delicious, then call Lu Zhiyuan to remind him to eat on time even if he is working overtime.

"Feng'er, can we really spend the night here? What if your brother-in-law comes back after working overtime?" Just as I was about to turn off the surveillance, the man who had just finished suddenly asked Lan Feng nervously.

Lan Feng lay in his arms and snorted coldly, "What's there to be afraid of? My sister just left on a business trip and he said he had to work overtime. Do you think he really wanted to work overtime? Haha, none of you men are good!"

"You mean, your brother-in-law has someone else outside?" the man asked in surprise, "Does your sister know?"

"None of my business." Lan Feng didn't answer directly. She gave him a meaningful smile and changed the subject, saying with great joy, "Once I get the 100,000 yuan, I'll have enough money to invest. A big house like this, and all those designer clothes in my wardrobe, I can buy as many as I want in the future!"

My heart tightened and the blood in my body seemed to freeze.

Lu Zhiyuan really cheated on me, and I was the last person in the world to know about it.

It's ridiculous that even my own sister fooled me.

My ears were buzzing and I could no longer hear their banter. All I could think about was the news that Lu Zhiyuan had cheated on me.

Tears blurred my eyes.

I had an urge to call Lu Zhiyuan immediately and ask him who that woman was.

But I held back.

I am an adult, and my logic tells me that I cannot conclude that Lu Zhiyuan cheated based solely on Lan Feng's one-sided statement.

I just misunderstood that Lu Zhiyuan had an affair with Lan Feng. If Lu Zhiyuan is really working overtime at the company now, wouldn’t it be a mistake to rashly question him?

I took a deep breath and took a taxi to Lu Zhiyuan’s company at one o’clock in the morning.

The security guard on duty downstairs stopped me and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Hello, my husband is working overtime upstairs, and I'm here to pick him up." I explained my purpose.

The security guard looked suspicious: "Which company does your husband work for?"

"Xiguang Technology on the 22nd floor."

Upon hearing this, the security guard clicked his mouse on his computer and told me, "No one at Xiguang Technology is working overtime today. Unless you report in advance, the office building's power will be cut off at 10 PM every night. Xiguang Technology has no reports today."

Lu Zhiyuan was not in the company, and the overtime claim was indeed a lie he made up!

I froze, staring at the computer screen in the security room. I shouted to the security guard, "Could you please check for me again? Was anyone working overtime at Xiguang Technology on New Year's Eve?!"

"What the hell are you doing?" the security guard was frightened by my sudden excitement. "I told you there's no one here. If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!"

I can't remember how I left the office building.

I returned to the hotel in a daze. It was already two o'clock in the morning.

I forced myself to cheer up and made a video call to Lu Zhiyuan.

Lu Zhiyuan refused without hesitation.

In the past, he would never hang up on me no matter how busy he was.

I stared blankly at the phone screen, and some images emerged uncontrollably in my mind - was Lu Zhiyuan hugging another woman, greedily taking her body like a hungry wolf, again and again...

When did it all start? When Lu Zhiyuan was being affectionate with me, did he think of me as that woman?

A ringtone rang, and I couldn't help but shudder when I saw the word "husband" on the screen.

After a few seconds, I trembled and pressed the answer button.

"Wife, why are you calling me at this time?" Lu Zhiyuan said nervously on the screen.

I studied the background behind him, which looked like a terrace somewhere. Lu Zhiyuan held his phone low, so that from this angle I could only see his perfect jawline and the inky black sky around him.

"Where are you?" I asked him coldly.

"I'm working overtime at the company. I was just having a meeting with colleagues from the technical department." Lu Zhiyuan answered fluently.

In the past, no matter what he said, I would believe him without a doubt.

But now, I just feel that I was too naive in the past.

"Wife, what happened?" Lu Zhiyuan asked me, his deep eyes fixed on me. "Why do you look so grim?"

My nose felt sore and I looked away, unwilling to be trapped in his false concern any longer.

I kept telling myself in my heart: Lan Shan, it's time to wake up from your beautiful dream. You have been deceiving yourself all these years, thinking that you are the happiest woman in the world, but you don't know that you are a joke!

"Wife?" Lu Zhiyuan became anxious when he saw my silence. "Send me your location, I'll drive to find you now!"

Driving from Beijing to Haicheng late at night, would that woman let him go?

I sneered in my heart and secretly admired his good acting skills.

"I'm fine." After calming down, I gave him a wry smile and said, "Honey, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore. I was so scared, so I called you."

"Little fool, it's just a dream." Lu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. His deep voice gently soothed me, "Even if you don't love me anymore in the future, I will still stay by your side and will never leave you."

"Husband, you are so nice! Go home and rest early after working overtime." I suppressed the anger in my heart and hung up the phone.

That night, I lay in bed in the hotel and didn't fall asleep for a moment.

Every second, I am thinking about it.

I was going crazy and wanted to know who the woman Lu Zhiyuan cheated with was?

The next morning, I received another collection email from "Q".

Today is the deadline for her to blackmail me into giving her money.

Looking at that email, a plan came to my mind.

If "Q" is Lan Feng, maybe I can find out from her who the woman Lu Zhiyuan cheated with is!
