As night fell, the dim lights inside the Zijin Zunjue Club in the northern part of the city cast an atmosphere of ambiguity and mystery.
Fu Heng, dressed in a black fitted suit, entered the club with several bodyguards, his posture upright.
He had just returned from abroad and taken over the family business in the northern part of the city. This club was one of the family's properties and the best entry point for him to understand the city's connections and undercurrents.
"Young Master Fu, we've been waiting for you!" Club manager Li Ming greeted him with a beaming smile. "Please go to the VIP room and rest for a while. Many important figures in the city are here tonight. I'll arrange for someone to send you the list right away."
Fu Heng nodded slightly and followed Li Ming through the noisy dance floor.
All around, well-dressed men and women were either raising their glasses to drink or swaying their bodies to the music.
In a corner, several mysterious figures wearing sunglasses were talking in hushed tones, their eyes occasionally glancing around.
The VIP room was lavishly decorated, a feast for the eyes.
Just as Fu Heng sat down, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Several hot women walked in, each carrying a glass of premium whiskey.
"Greetings, Young Master Fu!" they said in unison, bowing respectfully to Fu Heng.
They placed their whiskeys on the coffee table.
After getting off work, Jiang Xinyue contacted a private investigator and brought him to the location sent by Shen Siyao, which was the Zijin Zunjue Club.
Upon entering the prestigious 777 private room, the door was slightly ajar, and the room was bustling with activity, including several of Bo Jingcheng's wealthy second-generation friends.
The private room was brightly lit, filled with smoke, and exuded an atmosphere of extravagance.
Bo Jingcheng's several rich second-generation friends were sitting around a sofa, surrounded by beautiful women, with the clinking of glasses and laughter mingling together.
"Haha, Cheng-ge, now that Si-yao is back, have you two rekindled your old flame?"
Jiang Xinyue recognized the person speaking; he was Bo Jingcheng's college classmate named Zhang Qi, and he was the one who witnessed Bo Jingcheng's relationship with Shen Siyao.
It can be said that he is a die-hard fan of Bo Jingcheng and Shen Siyao.
When she married Bo Jingcheng, he was very skeptical of their relationship and looked down on her behind her back.
Another rich kid named Qiu Lang reached out and nudged Zhang Qi, saying, "Zhang Qi, isn't that obvious? It's Siyao's birthday, and Brother Cheng really went all out, booking the entire Zijin Zunjue Club. Do you know how expensive it is for one night?"
Jiang Xinyue stood outside the door, not going in, but listening to the sounds inside.
Bo Jingcheng put his arm around Shen Siyao, his face flushed with drunkenness, and a smug smile on his lips: "That's right, Siyao is the most special person in my heart. Now that she's back, we have to have a good get-together."
Shen Siyao leaned into Bo Jingcheng's arms and glanced at everyone with a charming smile: "Jingcheng is the best to me. Over the years, I have always missed our old days."
His brothers laughed and began to discuss Jiang Xinyue.
"Brother Cheng, you and Siyao have rekindled your old flame. Aren't you afraid your wife will find out?"
"At this time, can we please not mention Jiang Xinyue? It's really a downer." Zhang Qi said with displeasure, "Back when Brother Cheng was with Jiang Xinyue, I felt that this woman was not simple."
"However, on the other hand, Jiang Xinyue has been Cheng Ge's lapdog for five years. Even if she knew, she would only hide under the covers and cry secretly."
As soon as Qiu Lang said this, the whole private room burst into laughter, all mocking Jiang Xinyue.
Bo Jingcheng sat there unmoved, letting his cronies belittle his wife, while he affectionately embraced Shen Siyao, as if they were talking about someone unimportant.
Jiang Xinyue felt a sudden dizziness, as if her heart had been struck hard by a heavy hammer. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms.
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
"Jingcheng, you came to celebrate my birthday today. If Xinyue finds out, won't she be angry?" Shen Siyao nestled in Bo Jingcheng's arms, looking shy like a little woman.
"Don't worry about her. So what if she finds out?" Bo Jingcheng hugged Chen Siyao and smiled smugly. "Don't worry, she can't live without me. I've been supporting her for the past five years."
"Hasn't your sister-in-law gone out to work yet?" Qiu Lang asked, puzzled.
Zhang Qi immediately corrected Qiu Lang's address, "Zhang Qi, Jiang Xinyue might not be our sister-in-law anymore soon."
Qiu Lang realized what was happening and quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, our Siyao is probably going to become our real sister-in-law soon."
"Siyao, it's your birthday today, hurry up and make a wish!" Bo Jingcheng changed the subject, looking intently at Shen Siyao.
"Yes, yes, Siyao, hurry up and make a wish!" Bo Jingcheng's brothers also urged Shen Siyao to make a wish quickly.
With a shy smile, Shen Siyao stepped out of Bo Jingcheng's arms, sat up straight, clasped her hands together, and began to make a wish.
The people around her clapped and sang her a birthday song.
Jiang Xinyue had never experienced such treatment before.
Even when she married Bo Jingcheng, none of his good brothers offered her a single blessing.
Jiang Xinyue stood at the door, listening to the cheerful birthday song coming from the private room, and tears welled up in her eyes and spilled out.
She gritted her teeth, her heart filled with humiliation and resentment. Five years of marriage were worthless in the eyes of Bo Jingcheng and his friends.
"Miss Jiang, shall we go in?" The detective behind them watched as Jiang Xinyue hesitated to go in, simply standing outside the door, staring at them blankly.
A hint of sympathy flashed in the detective's eyes.
"Wait a little longer." Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "Were all those shots clear?"
"The shot is clear." The detective nodded.
"Very good." Jiang Xinyue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, a resolute glint in them.
Just then, Fu Heng came out of the 888 private room next door and saw Jiang Xinyue at the door.
He frowned slightly. What was she doing here?
Fu Heng remained silent and walked over.
The next private room was unusually noisy, as if someone was celebrating a birthday. Jiang Xinyue just watched quietly without going in.
"Jiang Xinyue, what are you looking at?" Fu Heng suddenly appeared from behind her, startled.
Jiang Xinyue turned around abruptly and saw that it was Fu Heng. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Fu..."
"What? Here to catch them cheating?" Fu Heng's gaze fell on the private investigator behind her, then glanced at the noisy private room inside.
Jiang Xinyue lowered her eyes, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Fu. This is a family matter."
Fu Heng crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow at Jiang Xinyue, and said, "Family matters? You're just going to watch silently without doing anything?"
His tone carried a hint of mockery, yet also subtly revealed a degree of concern.
Jiang Xinyue bit her lip, raised her head, her eyes full of stubbornness: "Of course I won't let this go. I've already collected the evidence."
As she spoke, she glanced at the detective beside her, who understood and nodded slightly.
Fu Heng chuckled: "Evidence? And then what? Make a scene with Bo Jingcheng, or sue him for marital infidelity? Do you think you can make him pay a heavy price for this?"
