In late autumn, the fragrance of flowers fills the streets, and the whole city is filled with the scent of golden osmanthus.

In the retro-decorated office, An Chengling leaned back on the sofa without saying a word, and thick documents were piled on the large walnut table.

Sheng Huai arrived soon.

He was wearing a black shirt tucked into his suit trousers, a grey ankle-length coat, and his features were strong and his face expressionless.

The two men looked at each other without any further greetings.

"Here are all the things we found out."

An Chengling tapped the tabletop with his slender fingers.

"good."

Sheng Huai picked up a document casually and sat down on the sofa, reading it with a frown.

The sunlight generously shone on his tall figure through the European stained glass, but he still exuded a strong chill.

After he finished reading one document, he turned to the next one, and the wrinkles on his brow became deeper and deeper.

Until the end, Sheng Huai felt that his mind had gone blank, his limbs were weak, and his head was dizzy.

"Are you okay?"

An Chengling handed him a slender red wine glass and clinked glasses with him gently.

"Your Miss Jiang... is really not simple."

From the moment he received Sheng Huai's call, he began to investigate everything about Jiang Zhi.

It only took one night to print out a thick document.

In the past, if we had been more casual and cautious, the progress would never have been so fast.

But I don't know why this time.

Perhaps it was the slender and stubborn figure in the long corridor on that day in early autumn that made him feel a trace of pity.

"It's just pity..."

An Chengling made a note of his thoughts.

Sheng Huai sat on the sofa, his body as if bound by an invisible rope, motionless.

He did not answer An Chengling's words, but numbly and mechanically flipped through the documents on the table back and forth, his eyes dark.

Every nerve ending was vibrating violently.

After a long time he finally stood up.

Even his tall and handsome figure seemed to be hunched.

"Thank you..."

Sheng Huai opened the office door and walked into the elevator without waiting for An Chengling to answer.

He now had no way of thinking as usual, his entire mind was in a state of confusion after hearing the shocking information.

After Sheng Huai left, An Chengling stood tall on the balcony, watching the sediment in the wine glass floating up and down in the sunlight.

Sheng Huai’s reaction just now was within his expectations.

But after knowing all this, how will Miss Su with red eyes face it? Maybe she will... forgive her husband and become a silent and docile wife of a wealthy family again.

There was a gentle knock on the office door.

The secretary smiled professionally: "Lawyer An, please prepare the business dinner in half an hour."

"No."

An Chengling came back to his senses and explained patiently with a gentle smile: "I have something to do tonight, please help me postpone it."

"But, tonight..."

The secretary was a little embarrassed. The gentle and polite Lawyer An rarely behaved like this.

"that's all."

An Chengling's voice was like a heavy hammer falling to the ground, and he had already left the office.

Instead of attending a hypocritical and extravagant dinner party, he now wanted to do something else.

…

When Sheng Huai rushed to the hospital, it was already dusk.

Before I even got close, I could hear the familiar and annoying sound of crying and shouting from inside the ward.

"You are a bunch of dogs who look down on others!"

"When my Ah Huai comes, you will all be in trouble!"

"Do you know who I am? I'm the girlfriend of Mr. Sheng, the richest man in Sheng's Group in Li City! Can you afford to offend me?"

"Get out! Get out now!"

Several staff members gathered in a circle at the door.

Seeing the cool and aloof figure in the corridor, they all made way for him and hurriedly explained.

"Boss Sheng, we just wanted Miss Jiang to cooperate with the dressing change, but she felt pain and took it out on the nurse!"

Sheng Huai pushed the door open and walked in silently.

A kettle was thrown at him, "Get lost! Who allowed you to come in?"

"Ah... Ah Huai?"

After seeing who was coming, Jiang Zhi, who had just been disheveled and cursing, stopped for a moment, forced a sweet smile on his face, and threw himself into Sheng Huai's arms.

"Ah Huai, why did you come just now?"

Her eyes were full of moisture and she looked pitiful.

Seeing Sheng Huai didn't say anything, Jiang Zhi deliberately twisted in his arms and raised her voice in a coquettish voice: "A Huai, do you dislike me?"

"I'm a helpless girl like me, and I even have a broken arm. If you don't even care about Ah Huai, who can I count on in the future..."

However, after the performance, Jiang Zhi found that Sheng Huai was still cold and didn't even look at her.

She could only grit her teeth and bang her head against the wall.

"Then let me die!"

But her forehead was almost touching the wall, and there was no one to pull her up from behind.

"Ah Huai!"

Seeing that her self-torture trick had failed, she simply lay down on the floor, waving one arm and crying and making a fuss: "You are such a bad person! You don't want me anymore now that I have lost my hand. You have no conscience..."

Sheng Huai's eyes flashed with coldness.

He sat down and looked at Jiang Zhi rolling on the ground without saying a word, his face calm.

It was not until Jiang Zhi finally realized something was wrong and stopped that he said calmly, "Have you had enough of acting?"

"What? I can't act at all..."

Jiang Zhi got up from the ground and twisted her waist to stick to him: "Ahuai, I have given you my heart for so many years, Ahuai, you can't be so cruel to me."

Almost instantly, she was kicked back to the ground.

"Ah Huai!"

"you……"

She was so frightened that she couldn't even finish her words.

The man on the sofa had a face as cold as ice, and his dark eyes were like the sharpest dagger. His entire body was shrouded in a huge chill and... tremendous anger.

Sheng Huai sat there and looked at her without saying a word.

The woman lying limp and trembling on the floor was still without any makeup, and looked pure and well-behaved.

But it's so disgusting!

He had wanted to question her.

But now I don’t want to say another word.

In the final analysis, it’s me who’s the idiot!

That's why I was deceived by a woman for so long!

Sheng Huai raised his hand and threw all the documents he brought to the ground, his eyes cold: "You really put your heart into it!"

"What's this!"

"What are these?"

Jiang Zhi staggered and turned to pick up the document on the ground. After seeing the contents clearly, his face became paler and paler, until finally his whole body was shaking!

[Jiang Zhi, formerly known as Jiang Guihua, is a photography assistant at an advertising company. She intervened in the marriage of a 50-year-old photographer and cheated him out of money to go abroad.]

[I was expelled from a university abroad because I was caught stealing.]

Her horrified gaze moved downwards inch by inch.

In the end, he could no longer stand up and lay on the ground like a soft noodle.

Sheng Huai sat on the sofa, smoking slowly without saying a word.

"Ah Huai!"

“This is all fake!”

"I didn't, I didn't..."

Jiang Zhi lowered his head, mumbling explanations, but his eyes became more and more desperate.

The thick documents contained all the efforts she had made.

She knelt down and read through the pages one by one until the last investigation report appeared in front of her. An expression of extreme horror finally appeared on her face.

【Regarding the investigation into the bar attack...】
