After hearing Shen Heng's words, Wu She wiped his face and said, "Really? Should we just call the police?"

Seeing Shen Heng like this, he thought Shen Heng would usually resolve things privately.

"Otherwise what? Seek revenge in private? You want to end up in jail?"

"No, no, no, that's definitely not what we want. We still have to abide by the law," Wu She quickly said.

"Then you should listen to me."

Wu She swallowed hard: "Big brother, what exactly is your relationship with Bai Jiaojiao? Why are you so concerned about her?"

"Don't meddle in things that aren't your business. Remember this: when you're doing things for me, ask fewer questions and do more. That will only bring you benefits."

Shen Heng didn't linger at Wu She's house. He had made his plans and would be leaving that evening.

"Brother Heng, let me go with you." Bai Jiaojiao couldn't sit still at home. Subconsciously, she felt that this matter was not as simple as speculation.

Shen Heng thought for a moment and said, "I don't want you to get involved. Wu She is not a good person."

"Brother Heng, you've done all this for me, why are you asking me to get involved?"

Bai Jiaojiao took Shen Heng's hand: "Brother Heng, let's go together."

Shen Heng had no choice but to nod.

"Then let's go together."

The two followed the address given by Wu She and found that it was indeed remote. The area around Yanda University was not in the city center. They walked for more than an hour before reaching Qing District. They stopped to rest along the way and walked for another twenty minutes before finding the Red Star Guesthouse that Wu She had mentioned.

Saying it's remote is an exaggeration; this place is practically a desolate wilderness.

The two pretended to be a married couple who had gone out for a spring outing, entered the guesthouse, and asked for a private room.

Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao deliberately didn't take out their identification documents, and the receptionist at the guesthouse didn't ask for them either: "Five yuan a night, leave quickly tomorrow morning."

Five yuan?

The Red Star Guesthouse didn't even look as grand as the guesthouses in their town. Normally, a shared room costs one yuan, a single room three yuan, and a more upscale room costs five yuan, which is considered normal. But this guesthouse clearly didn't have that kind of setup.

"Yes, five yuan, take it or leave it."

The person didn't even look up, seemingly reading a novel under the counter.

"live."

Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao exchanged a glance, and Shen Heng took out five yuan and placed it on the counter.

The waiter took the money and pointed with his right hand: "That way, the second room, don't go to the wrong one."

The two men gave the waiter a deep look, then went into the room together.

Wu She was outside at this time. Although the mosquitoes hadn't started to swarm yet, it was the time when the grass was growing deep and there were plenty of small insects inside.

He saw Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao walking over hand in hand, and only then did he realize their relationship.

She thought to herself that Ding Shifang was truly a fool who didn't know what was going to happen to her. Bai Jiaojiao had such a boyfriend, yet she still dared to mess with him.

I just don't know why Shen Heng wasn't there on the day of the incident. If he had been there, Ding Shifang probably wouldn't have been able to leave that police station.

He didn't dare to move or greet them, so he just stood outside watching.

The guesthouse was a small courtyard with a single-story building. The main hall and two single rooms faced south, and there were two shared rooms on the east and west sides, plus the kitchen and toilet, all located in this courtyard. There was only one door, which Wu She himself could keep an eye on.

He saw the man go to the kitchen to get food during dinner. After confirming that the man was inside, he stayed in one place and didn't move.

There are two single rooms in total. The man lives in one room, and Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao live in the other.

After the two went inside, they looked around at the furnishings and couldn't help but show their disgust.

The walls here are still made of yellow mud. Even in Shili Village, any family that wants to maintain a decent appearance will try to get a bundle of newspapers to cover the mud walls.

Shen Heng and Bai Jiaojiao lowered their voices as they spoke: "I don't believe any rich person would be willing to live in a place like this, let alone stay for more than a year."

Thinking about it this way, the matter becomes even stranger.

Shen Heng looked at Bai Jiaojiao standing in the middle of the room, and only one word came to mind: out of place.

He felt embarrassed to let Bai Jiaojiao sit for even a short while, as he always felt that sitting on the chairs in the room would make his bottom dirty.

"Wait a little longer, until it's time to go to bed, just bear with it."

Shen Heng wiped the stool for Bai Jiaojiao and squeezed into a chair with her. Bai Jiaojiao was squeezed so much by Shen Heng that she could only sit on his lap.

The two discussed their plans for the next moment. When they saw that it was nine o'clock, Shen Heng stood up angrily and stormed out of the door.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Shen Heng pounded on the man's door. "What the hell are you doing, not letting people sleep at night?"

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the courtyard. Shen Heng's shout woke everyone in the guesthouse.

Some people came out to see what was going on, but when they saw Shen Heng, they dared not speak and hid by the door to see what was happening.

The door opened, revealing a man's face inside.

Under the moonlight, the man's face was deathly pale: "You must have misunderstood something. I didn't do anything."

"Didn't do it? You're talking nonsense! My house is right next to yours, if you weren't the one making the noise, who was?"

When Shen Heng becomes a bully, he's just going back to his old ways.

He shoved the man into the house. The man wasn't very tall and had no chance against Shen Heng. He shouted nervously, "What are you doing? This is my room!"

"I want to see what you're doing in this room!"

Shen Heng started making a scene, and the guesthouse staff member finally arrived late: "What are you doing? What are you doing? What's with all this noise in the middle of the night? Do you think this is your home?"

"Get out of my way!" Shen Heng snapped, his eyes turning red, and the waiter didn't dare to stop him.
