Chapter 97 The Drama of Catching Adultery

Ruan Yi was startled by the sudden commotion.

She suddenly looked up at the person at the door, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Why did Shen Xun suddenly rush to the United States?

It was like it had gone berserk; its body seemed to be on fire.

Gu Zhi, standing beside Ruan Yi, remained completely unaffected, his hand still resting on her shoulder and neck. Even as she looked up, his fingertips lightly brushed against her neck.

He looked up at the person at the door, a faint smile playing on his lips, but his eyes held a malicious provocation.

"What are you doing here? Are you crazy?!"

Ruan Yi glared at him, her tone full of anger, then turned and waved to the staff at the door.

"You can go down first, I know this person."

Ruan Yi was afraid that the staff would think Shen Xun was a terrorist and call the police; she didn't want to be on the news.

The staff looked at each other, observing the tense atmosphere inside, and hesitated before retreating and gently closing the door behind them.

As soon as the door closed, Chen Xun's gaze, burning with intensity, fixed on Gu Zhi's hand resting on Ruan Yi's neck.

"My wife's neck!"

"Why should this guy touch me?"

Enraged, he rushed forward and raised his foot to kick Gu Zhi away.

But Ruan Yi was blocking the way, and fearing he might accidentally hurt someone, he abruptly stopped, bent down, and used his hand to push her away.

Shen Xun's movements were swift and fierce; it was clear to anyone with eyes that he was about to make a move.

Gu Zhi seemed oblivious, sitting motionless in place, enduring the force of his push.

With a dull thud, the man's back slammed heavily against the low table behind him, causing him to gasp in pain and his eyes to instantly redden, as if he were in great agony.

"Chen Xun, are you crazy?! Why are you hitting people?!"

Ruan Yi immediately became anxious, and with a pained expression, she pulled Gu Zhi into her arms, looked up and glared fiercely at Chen Xun, looking like she was protecting her child.

The man snuggled closer to her, his shoulders trembling slightly, his voice filled with grievance.

"Brother Chen Xun...why did you do this?"

Did I do something wrong?

As the man spoke, he nuzzled his head against Ruan Yi's soft, undulating chest, his hair brushing against her clothes, giving him a delicate and dependent appearance.

The room was immediately filled with the aroma of tea.

Seeing this scene, Shen Xun's temples throbbed with anger.

"That disgusting, manipulative woman!"

Ruan Yi's defense was like a bucket of cold water poured on his anger, but it only fueled his emotions even more.

He came here to expose this hypocrite, so why was he the one being attacked instead?

The anger and frustration in the man's chest were so intense that they almost made him explode.

"Stop pretending, you fucking idiot!"

Shen Xun was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he reached out to grab Gu Zhi's collar.

"Smack!"

Ruan Yi slapped his forearm hard, the force of which created a gust of wind.

His bony arm was as hard as a rock, so this pain was nothing to him, but the shock of that moment made him freeze.

He never expected that Ruan Yi would treat him, her fiancé, like this because of that scheming woman. The defensiveness in her eyes was like a wall, completely shutting him out.

Do you know what this male lover did to you?

Shen Xun pointed at the man in the girl's arms, his voice trembling with anger.

Ruan Yi frowned, as if she had heard some bizarre and fantastical tale.

"A male homewrecker? Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting!"

Ruan Yi's tone was full of absurdity, as if he were looking at a madman who had suddenly started talking nonsense.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Shen Xun laughed, his hand trembling as he pointed at Gu Zhi.

"Do you know he drugged you? Do you know he's brainwashing you? This is mind control!"

Ruan Yi was completely stunned, and the shock in her eyes was quickly replaced by absurdity.

Drugged? Brainwashed? She looked down at the person nestled obediently in her arms.

He looked up again at Shen Xun, who was acting like a mad dog.

He felt the person in front of him was probably suffering from paranoia. "You're really crazy..."

Before Ruan Yi could say anything more, the person in his arms spoke first, "Brother Chen Xun, what are you talking about?"

The man's voice trembled with an extremely faint sob.

"Even if you and my sister had a fight back then and you asked me to put in a good word for you, and I may not have done a good job, you can't slander me like this..."

As the man spoke, he tightened his arms around Ruan Yi's waist. His strong body was buried in the girl's slender arms, looking like he was asking for control, which seemed particularly strange.

His head was buried deep in the girl's chest, as if he had suffered a great injustice and didn't even have the strength to lift his head.

"If you keep acting like this, I'm calling the police!"

Ruan Yi's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger, and she tightened her grip on him.

Shen Xun's eyes instantly turned red, a chaotic storm of hurt, anger, and shock swirling within them.

He desperately wanted to rip the person hiding in the girl's arms out and tear them to pieces, but when his gaze swept over Ruan Yi's tense profile, that madness was forcibly suppressed.

Forcing her would only hurt her; she's protecting that person like a precious treasure now.

"I have evidence!"

The man practically roared it out, his voice filled with a desperate urgency.

The person in Ruan Yi's arms paused almost imperceptibly, and the head buried in her chest lifted slightly.

The man opened his eyelids a crack, and a faint, cold glint flashed in his eyes, so fast it was almost an illusion.

"Evidence?" Ruan Yi laughed in anger.

"What evidence do you have? Show it to me!"

"Fine, I'll take it!" Chen Xun replied stiffly, frantically reaching for his pockets before his movements suddenly froze.

He... completely forgot to bring the test report.

Reception hall of the hot spring resort.

Pei Lian and Fu Jingchen had just arrived when they stood in the reception hall, frowning. The doors to the rows of private rooms were tightly closed, and they couldn't very well go in and barge into each one unless the staff offered to help.

Just as I was worrying, I heard two employees holding towels whispering to each other.

"Was that guy here to catch his wife cheating? I heard she brought a young man to the hot springs."

"Is this for real? It's so exciting! It's like a real-life adultery drama!"

"Why would I lie to you! It's in that private room at the far corner. Shall we sneak over and eavesdrop later?"

The two were chatting enthusiastically when they looked up and bumped into two men with powerful auras walking in front of them. They were so frightened that they shut their mouths, lowered their heads, and tried to slip away.

But their words had already reached Fu Jingchen and Pei Lian's ears clearly.

Who else could have such a dramatic turn of events?

Without saying a word, the two walked towards the corner.

With long strides, he quickly shook off the reception staff who tried to stop him and headed straight for the private room from which faint sounds of arguing could be heard.

The moment the door was pushed open, the scene inside the room resembled an absurd theatrical painting.

Shen Xun stood near the door with red eyes, his whole body tense and about to burst into flames, his gaze fixed on the front, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

Ruan Yi held Gu Zhi in her arms. The man, who was tall and imposing, looked like a little bird being sheltered, leaning against her shoulder.

No, it's more like a big bird clinging to a person.

The two people who opened the door both understood.

With Chen Xun's limited intelligence, how could he possibly defeat Gu Zhi?

Without even bringing any evidence, they were at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the standoff.

Are you guys crazy?

When Ruan Yi saw two more people arrive, her anger flared even more.

"Why are they coming one after another? What are they trying to do?"

Pei Lian ignored her words and walked straight to Shen Xun, handing him the test results.

Here, here's what you wanted.

"So that's why you insisted on investigating Ruan Yi, found the hospital's medical records, and kept pestering me for this test result."

The man used two unfounded words to clear himself of any wrongdoing.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xun abruptly turned to stare at Pei Lian, his eyes filled with shock.

"Slander! Utter slander!"

When did he check Ruan Yi's hospital records?

"Okay, he checked it in the country."

But this time, they were the ones who noticed something was wrong first and contacted him to say there was something unusual.

Now, he's managed to clear himself of all charges, making it seem like he's the one spying on Ruan Yi from behind?

A chill ran up from the soles of my feet; it turned out that none of these people were normal.

"They're all plotting against him! One after another, they're throwing mud at him!"

"You!" Shen Xun was about to retort when Ruan Yi's voice boomed out.

What on earth is going on here?!

Everyone's attention was drawn back to the girl.

Shen Xun couldn't hold back any longer when he saw the nasty green tea in Ruan Yi's arms. He suddenly raised the test results in his hand and yelled at her.

"Here's the lab report! The evidence is here! You should believe me now, right?"

The man pointed at the person in Ruan Yi's arms, his voice hoarse with anger.

"You've been drugged! With mind control and brainwashing drugs! Who's closest to you right now? Who else could drug you?"

"It's this beast!"
