In the evening, the autumn breeze was slightly cool.

Sitting in front of the barbecue stall, Long Shuai subconsciously pulled his coat tighter, took a deep drag on his cigarette that he had already finished smoking, flicked it with two fingers, and the cigarette butt, carrying sparks, drew a red parabola in the air before landing on the street in front of him.

A young girl passed by and, seeing the young man's dashing movements and his long, center-parted hair that looked like that of a celebrity, her eyes immediately lit up.

If they weren't so embarrassed, and if the young man hadn't looked so unpleasant, they would have wanted to come over and say hello, and make friends.

"Damn it, those two old bastards still haven't shown up. Did they mess things up?"

After glancing at the street not far away and still not seeing Zhou Quanfu and his wife, he couldn't help but curse.

But then his eyes lit up again.

Because at the end of the street, three figures he had been waiting for were approaching.

Two elderly people, a man and a woman, with white hair, their faces covered with wrinkles from the hardships of life.

As for the other one, it was a woman, wearing a women's suit, with a slender figure and a charming appearance.

It was Zhou Quanfu and his wife, along with his ex-girlfriend Zhou Yuanyuan.

"Looks like these two old folks are quite persistent. After dragging their feet for so long, they actually managed to get Zhou Yuanyuan out!"

Afraid of being seen by Zhou Yuanyuan, he hurriedly paid the bill and plunged into a dark alley not far away.

He had just left when Zhou Yuanyuan and her two companions arrived at the barbecue stall.

"Please sit here."

Zhou Quanfu seemed to have been prepared, pointing to the barbecue stall, "I'm hungry too, let's eat something here and chat."

Chen Jingying chimed in, "Yuanyuan, sit down, let's talk this out slowly!"

"I'm not hungry, and I don't want to eat with you. Say what you have to say!" Zhou Yuanyuan said with a gloomy face and a tone full of disgust.

"Then I'll go buy a bottle of soda!"

Zhou Quanfu gave an embarrassed smile and hurriedly ran towards a small snack shop not far away.

Zhou Yuanyuan didn't stop her, but impatiently urged, "Can you tell me now?"

"Don't rush, wait for your dad to come back!" Chen Jingying smiled, revealing her teeth.

Zhou Yuanyuan frowned, but didn't say anything more.

Not long after, Zhou Quanfu returned, carrying a bottle of soda.

"Yuanyuan, this is for you to drink."

As he spoke, he handed the bottle of soda to Zhou Yuanyuan.

The bottle of soda had already been opened, but Zhou Yuanyuan didn't care. She didn't take it, but said coldly, "I'm not thirsty, and I don't want to drink anything you bought."

Zhou Quanfu's face darkened. "Yuanyuan, I kindly bought you some soda, and you're not drinking it? Do you not want to talk anymore?"

Zhou Yuanyuan frowned even more deeply.

After much hesitation, she snatched the soda and took a few big gulps, saying indignantly, "I drank the soda, now you can tell me, right? What do you want from me?"

“Yuanyuan, don’t misunderstand. Your mother and I didn’t mean anything by it. We just wanted to have a good talk with you.”

Zhou Quanfu smiled and said, "Let's have some barbecue."

"You really didn't come here to force me?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked incredulously.

"Of course not!"

Zhou Quanfu shook his head. "You are our daughter. We just want to sit down with you, have something to eat, and have a chat."

"If that's all there is to it, then I'll be going now!"

Zhou Yuanyuan got up and left.

This time, Zhou Quanfu didn't stop her and just watched Zhou Yuanyuan walk away.

In the alley.

Long Shuai's lips curled into a smug smile of triumph.

He also saw Zhou Quanfu pour the poison he had given him into the bottle after he opened it when Zhou Quanfu went to buy soda.

Just now, Zhou Yuanyuan drank it right in front of him.

"I thought something unexpected would happen, but it went so smoothly. Those two old guys are quite capable."

He muttered to himself and tiptoed away from the other side of the alley.

As for Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying, they returned to their residence.

...

"Yuanyuan, I'm so sorry you had to go through this!"

As Zhou Yuanyuan walked into the courtyard with a complicated expression, Wang Qian was the first to greet her. "In order to lure out the mastermind, I had no choice but to have you cooperate in this play. It must have been hard on you."

"Brother-in-law, please don't say that."

Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head and said apologetically, "This whole thing started because of me, and it's dragged you all into it. I should do whatever I can."

A hint of reluctance flashed in Wang Qian's eyes.

The psychological blow Zhou Yuanyuan suffered today was undoubtedly severe.

Even if it were him, he would probably break down.

However, Zhou Yuanyuan still cooperated with his plan and finished the play with Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying.

It must be said that although Zhou Yuanyuan is a girl, she has experienced hellish suffering since childhood, and her psychological resilience is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Brother-in-law, I'm a little tired. If there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest first!"

"Okay, you should get some rest!"

Wang Qian nodded and added, "Just proceed according to the original plan. We'll handle the rest."

"Thanks!"

Zhou Yuanyuan nodded gratefully and left with weak steps.

Do you think this plan might go wrong?

After Zhou Yuanyuan left, Huang Bo came over and asked.

"Hard to say!"

Wang Qian said uncertainly, "Yuanyuan is too emotional, and Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying are like weather vanes. Moreover, they were scared out of their wits by us just now. Whether they can fool Commander Long is really unknown."
