Wu Qiqi didn't know Feng Ming, but Lu Jiangbai did. However, his circle was two levels lower than Feng Ming's, so they didn't interact with each other normally.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for this adultery, Lu Jiangbai wouldn't even be able to touch the corner of Feng Ming's clothes.
Therefore, he did not dare to stop Feng Ming, but also wanted to know why this matter was related to Zhang Hu.
The call was connected, and Zhang Hu's somewhat lazy and ruffian voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Hey, our little Mingming finally remembered to call me?"
Zhuang Li, who was standing under cold water washing himself and unwilling to pay attention to anyone, finally raised his head and looked at Xiao Mingming mentioned by Zhang Hu with a strange look.
Feng Ming: "..." He also subconsciously turned his head and looked at Mr. Da Mi.
The two looked at each other, one narrowed his eyes slightly, as if smiling; the other frowned, his face full of annoyance.
Fuck you, Zhang Hu! You've ruined my tall and perfect image!
"Big octopus, shut up!" Feng Ming immediately launched a counterattack.
Hearing this long-lost nickname, Zhang Hu not only didn't shut up, but laughed heartily on the other end of the phone. At his age, the only friend who still had the energy to argue with him was Feng Ming.
Wu Qiqi was shocked.
She finally realized that Feng Ming hadn't been joking in what he had just said. He really could leave her with nothing.
She wanted to scream, to yell, to curse, but she was afraid that Zhang Hu would hear her voice, so she pounced over and tried to snatch Feng Ming's phone.
Feng Ming was tall and strong, and he immediately pressed her head with one hand to fix her in place.
Wu Qiqi struggled for a long time but couldn't touch Feng Ming. Instead, she was exhausted and out of breath.
Feng Ming said in a serious tone, "Big Octopus, come to room 1808 of the XX Hotel right now. Your illegitimate child's mother is making a scene here. Come and watch her performance. Don't blame your brothers for not reminding you. If you marry someone like this, it will definitely ruin three generations of your family."
Wu Qiqi finally couldn't help it and screamed, "Shut up! Zhang Hu, don't listen to him, I'm not making a fuss! I'm being bullied!"
Zhang Hu didn't want to get married in the first place, and the reason he was willing to accept Wu Qiqi was because his mother Gao Shengqing forced him to. The reason she gave was not because Wu Qiqi was so good, but because the only child of the Zhang family could not be an illegitimate child.
This was a marriage that was forced upon us. Upon hearing that Wu Qiqi's secret was found by her good friend, Zhang Hu immediately perked up and said quickly, "Wait, I'll be right there! Tell me the truth, is it a serious matter?"
Feng Ming tightly grasped Wu Qiqi's arm to prevent her from running away, sneering, "This is a serious matter. I almost want to eat her! She set up a trap for my secretary, her current husband Zhuang Li, and then she came to catch the adulterer crying thief. Come and see."
"Fuck it, I'll be there right away!" Zhang Hu's tone sounded very angry.
Wu Qiqi had to accept a terrifying reality—Feng Ming knew everything about her schemes. With just two words, he explained the entire situation clearly: "a trap" and "the thief crying 'stop thief.'"
"Zhang Hu, don't come. I can handle it myself. I'll go back right now. I won't make a fuss anymore!" Wu Qiqi shouted anxiously, her eyes filled with panicked tears.
If she had known that the matter would be brought to Zhang Hu's attention, she would never have come here.
But Zhang Hu didn't listen to her at all. He said coldly, "Brother, wait for me for fifteen minutes. I'm just one block away."
The call ended, and Wu Qiqi began to cry and apologize: "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. We'll leave right away. Can you let me go first? My son is still at home, and I need to go back to take care of him. This is a misunderstanding, please let me go?"
When she encountered a tough opponent, she surrendered immediately.
Feng Ming sneered and said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll tell you when Zhang Hu comes."
Lu Jiangbai, who had been standing by silently, spoke up: "What does this have to do with Zhang Hu?"
Feng Ming looked at him and sneered, "Do you really think she'll marry you after divorcing Secretary Zhuang? You don't know, her son is Zhang Hu's. She's been hooking up with Zhang Hu recently, and they agreed to bring their child back to their ancestral home after the divorce. Who are you in front of Zhang Hu? To put it bluntly, you're not even a spare tire. At most, you're just a tool to be used!"
Lu Jiangbai opened his eyes wide in shock, and then his expression gradually darkened.
In terms of wealth and status, he is indeed not as good as Zhang Hu, but he is still a well-known figure after all. How could he be willing to be fooled?
Although Wu Qiqi didn't say it explicitly, she hinted more than once that she would marry him as long as he could divorce Zhuang Li. Otherwise, Lu Jiangbai wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
He looked at Wu Qiqi, pointing at her with his index finger, his face full of fierceness.
However, he forgot that there was someone present who was more qualified to be ruthless than him.
Zhuang Li stepped out of the shower room and slowly spoke as he took off his soaking wet pants, "Illegitimate child, divorce, honey trap? Is that what I thought it was?"
Feng Mingxiang tried to find him a bath towel, but was worried that Wu Qiqi would run away, so he could only watch him strip naked.
Zhuang Li slowly dried his body with a towel, then walked outside and put on a bathrobe from the closet.
There was silence in the room and no one answered him.
Zhuang Li brushed all his hair back before looking at Wu Qiqi. His usually gentle face now looked exceptionally cold and ruthless. "Wu Zirui isn't my son? Is it that guy named Zhang Hu? You wanted to divorce me, so you planned everything that happened today?"
Wu Qiqi, still thinking about the demolished house worth hundreds of millions, quickly turned the tables and said, "It was you who cheated on me! You're a lesbian! You've made me a gay wife for over a decade! I'm going to expose you in the media!"
The frost on Zhuang Li's face gradually melted away, and he regained his composure, but his aura became even more profound and terrifying.
"During this marriage, if Zhuang Li betrays or deceives you in any way, he'll die a miserable death the moment he leaves this house! I'm making this clear!" Zhuang Li swore slowly, word by word. The Zhuang Li he was referring to was, of course, the old Zhuang Li.
"You should know better than anyone how Zhuang Li has managed to survive a sexless marriage for more than ten years. I'll keep all your medical examination forms for you. When Mr. Zhang comes later, if he's interested, I can run home and show them to him." Zhuang Li further threatened.
In order to avoid her marital obligations, Wu Qiqi would bring back a medical examination form every few days, saying that she had a serious gynecological disease and was not suitable for sleeping together.
The original owner felt sorry for her and went along with her, but would Zhang Hu do the same?
It's easy to imagine that the Zhang family would never let a woman who was sick all over come in.
Wu Qiqi screamed, "No! Zhuang Li, don't go too far! Those medical examination forms are all fake!"
In order to marry into a wealthy family, she had to admit that she lied.
"So, who's the one who's going too far?" Zhuang Li pointed at himself and pressed, "I'm an upright person, and you've made me like this. Who's the one who's going too far?"
He drew aside the curtains, opened the glass door, and let out the girl who had been eavesdropping outside. He then pointed at his pale wrist and said, "Guess if there's any evidence of illegal drugs in my veins?"
He pointed at the escort girl again and continued, "Do you think there are chat records and money transfer records in her phone that are plotting to drug me?"
Zhuang Li looked at Lu Jiangbai and said in a cold tone, "Did you know that drugging someone is a criminal offense?"
He then turned to Wu Qiqi and said, "Go ahead and expose this to the media. I don't mind. It's just as well. When the reporters arrive, the police will surely be here too. Let's put this case online and let everyone judge for themselves. We have both witnesses and evidence. How long do you think it will take the police to uncover the truth? And what do you think Mr. Zhang will think if he sees you on the legal channel?"
Zhuang Li staggered towards the big snow-white bed.
Feng Ming pulled Wu Qiqi over and looked at him worriedly.
Zhuang Li waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, then picked up the glasses on the bedside table and slowly put them on.
"Call the reporters." He looked at Wu Qiqi and said calmly, "I'll call 110. The two groups should arrive around the same time."
He paused for a moment and continued, "Oh, by the way, there's also Mr. Zhang. He'll be here too. That's how it's going to be fun. If we all want to have some fun together, what's the point of just a few of you guys messing around here?"
Seeing him punching out the numbers 110 on his phone, Wu Qiqi, who had been so confident just now, finally gave in and begged, "Don't call the police, don't call the police, Zhuang Li, I was wrong! Please don't call the police! We can talk it over! I went too far, I'm so sorry!"
Lu Jiangbai also showed a nervous expression, but he couldn't bring himself to beg for mercy.
The call girl was quickly deleting the chat history and transfer records.
Zhuang Li glanced at her and said sarcastically, "Don't delete it. The police have plenty of ways to recover the data in your phone."
The prostitute was stunned, then pointed at Lu Jiangbai and said, "Brother, you locked me on the balcony right after I came in. I didn't do anything! He was the one who drugged me. I can be your witness against him. Just tell the police not to arrest me!"
Lu Jiangbai closed his eyes, knowing that he couldn't hold on any longer.
"Zhuang Li, I'm sorry. What happened today was indeed a trap set by us. We feel bad for you. Since you're not injured, let's settle this privately. I'll do my best to compensate you for your losses."
Zhuang Li's fingertips hovered over the call button, looking at his old friend with an indifferent expression.
There was only forbearance and humiliation on Lu Jiangbai's face, without the slightest apology. It was obvious that this "I'm sorry" was just a perfunctory gesture.
He was clearly the one who did something wrong, but he felt that the real culprit was Zhuang Li, simply because Zhuang Li didn't follow his instructions and fall into the trap. The hatred in his heart must be rising.
I would rather let the world down than let the world down me - only this sentence can explain Lu Jiangbai's mentality.
He doesn't deserve to be forgiven.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Li raised the corners of his lips and smiled coldly.
Seeing him holding up his phone, ready to call the police at any moment, Wu Qiqi finally gave in. "Zhuang Li, as long as you don't call the police, we can talk about anything! I'm the one who let you down! I'll take Ruirui and leave the house! Please let me go!"
Once the police opened a case for investigation and it was reported in the social news, it was obvious that she would never be able to enter the Zhang family in her life!
"Go to hell and get out of here!" The door was kicked open and Zhang Hu strode in with a ferocious look on his face.
Unfortunately, this hotel belonged to the Zhang family, so he went straight to the manager and opened the door.
"You said Zhuang Li didn't want a divorce, so I gave you 20 million to compensate him. Where's the money? Even if I'm a jerk, I know I can't let someone raise my child for over a decade for nothing. Where's the 20 million in compensation? Where did it go? I'll kick you out of this house! You embezzled the money, didn't you?"
Zhang Hu kept stroking his hair, and he was about to explode with anger.
This was the pocket money he had finally squeezed out of his mother's pocket!
