I barely managed to get through the difficult night by numbing myself with alcohol.
Xiao Feng sat up from the sofa as soon as it was light. He felt completely weak.
It was as if something had drained all his energy and spirit overnight, leaving him looking utterly dejected.
Fu Xiaolian was probably still asleep, and Xiao Feng had no intention of going over to check on her. Before everything was a fact, and before he was certain of what was going on, he didn't know how to face Fu Xiaolian.
He sat there blankly for a long time, his mind a jumble of thoughts, with many images inexplicably surfacing in his mind.
There were memories of his glorious days as a cadre, the joy of having his daughter as a child at his side, and the passionate moments with Fu Xiaolian...
All of this, like a cloud of mist, was gradually fading from his sight, making him want to hold onto it, but he didn't know where to begin.
Finally, he stood up unsteadily, still somewhat groggy from the hangover.
He scooped a ladle of cold water from the kitchen and washed his face, which made him feel a little better.
He picked up a sharp knife from the kitchen knife rack and tucked it into his sleeve.
After glancing once more at the door to the room where Fu Xiaolian was sleeping, Xiao Feng finally gritted his teeth, opened the door, and went out.
Whether it's true or false, he needs a definite answer, even if he can't accept it, he still has to face it.
He didn't even have breakfast; he hailed a car and went straight to the Friendship Hotel.
In the lobby, he asked a waiter if Alex had left the house.
The waiter recognized him and knew that he often came and went with Alex, so he told him that the president had been upstairs and had not gone out.
Xiao Feng looked up at the building but didn't go up. Instead, he silently left and found a secluded corner outside the hotel. He sat there quietly, his eyes fixed on the hotel entrance.
Coincidentally, the place he was in was the same place where Jiao Bai had been monitoring him last time.
Xiao Feng wanted to know whether Fu Xiaolian had taken the initiative to come to Alex, or whether Alex had seduced Fu Xiaolian and was on a date with her somewhere else.
He stared at the hotel entrance with his bloodshot eyes, like a fool, not letting a single passerby escape his notice.
An entire morning passed, and he made no discovery or move whatsoever.
Like a wooden sculpture, it was exposed to the scorching sun without even realizing it.
There was an older woman who came out to buy groceries. She had passed by this place several times, and every time she saw him, he was always dressed the same way.
Finally, she couldn't resist her curiosity and came up to ask.
"Hey, are you alright?"
Hearing someone speak, Xiao Feng mechanically turned his head, glanced at her, and looked dazed and confused.
The bloodshot eyes startled the old woman, who dared not ask any more questions for fear of getting into trouble. She hurriedly picked up her shopping basket and walked away.
When Xiao Feng turned around again, a figure suddenly appeared in his sight.
The figure was so familiar that he knew who it was without even looking a second time.
That's right, it's Fu Xiaolian.
At that moment, he wished it were all an illusion, that everything before his eyes was fake.
He had been waiting for this moment, yet he was also terrified of it.
After getting out of the car, Fu Xiaolian smoothed her long hair, glanced around a few times, and then gracefully walked towards the entrance of the Friendship Hotel.
In the blink of an eye, her alluring figure disappeared from Xiao Feng's sight.
Xiao Feng slowly closed his eyes.
Now, the moment has finally arrived, and there is no longer any doubt. Everything is as he guessed, and no matter how much he disbelieves it, it has all become a fact.
Fu Xiaolian betrayed him.
It was the most humiliating kind of betrayal, a betrayal that was offered up on someone's behalf, a betrayal that no man could tolerate.
Now, Xiao Feng's heart calmed down, because from the moment he saw Fu Xiaolian, his whole world collapsed, his entire life vanished into nothingness, becoming nothing but fleeting smoke.
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Feng tightened the dagger hidden in his sleeve and stood up.
He calmly straightened his clothes and hair, then tilted his head back and exhaled a breath of stale air.
Everything is gone, so let's make a final stand today.
With his hands in his pockets, Xiao Feng pretended to be nonchalant and walked steadily toward the door.
He was a regular customer, and the waiters all knew him. No one stopped him, and he walked step by step toward Alex's room on the second floor.
At the entrance to Alex's shop on the second floor, two bear-like bodyguards made Xiao Feng's heart skip a beat.
However, he didn't stop and continued walking forward.
"Gentlemen, is the CEO here? I have something urgent to report to him. Could you please inform him?"
Xiao Feng tried his best to appear nonchalant, putting on a fawning smile for the two bodyguards.
Unexpectedly, Alex's bodyguards, who usually go in to notify him, did not move this time.
Instead, he reached out and blocked Xiao Feng's path.
"Please go back, Mr. President is not available."
The two foreigners didn't speak Mandarin, and Xiao Feng couldn't understand what they were saying either. He only understood from their expressions and outstretched hands that they didn't want him to go in.
Although Xiao Feng was trying his best to suppress his emotions, at this point, he could no longer control them.
