The last day of May, which is the day before the wedding.
Xiang Zhilan remained calm and composed, taking care of the children at the orphanage. She received countless calls from her parents, but none from her fiancé.
That's good, he's got guts.
It seems even he regrets getting married, so let's just leave it at that.
Let's just pretend this wedding never happened.
"Xiao Xiang, why don't you drive and buy the items on the list?" The dean handed a slip of paper to Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan glanced around and realized that some things needed to be bought in the city, so she drove her little white car out.
After driving onto an empty road, she felt something was wrong; the black car behind her seemed to be following her the whole time.
As she drove, she kept glancing in the rearview mirror. If she had only suspected something before, she was now certain that the car was indeed following her the whole time; it slowed down when she slowed down and sped up when she sped up.
She frowned, wondering if it was someone sent by Shen Muzhi.
That's highly likely; he often does this kind of thing.
Thinking about it this way, Xiang Zhilan was a little annoyed. What right did he have to send people to follow and monitor her?
So she stepped on the gas and, using her familiarity with the terrain, weaved her way out of the car.
Once she could no longer see it in the rearview mirror, Xiang Zhilan felt relieved and slowly started driving again.
"Brother Li, that woman spotted us and shook off her pursuers." The man in the passenger seat of the black car called Li Rui.
“I underestimated her. You guys should come back first.” Li Rui said coldly. After hanging up the phone, he looked up at the woman on the other end, lit a cigar, took a puff of smoke, and sneered, “Last time you gave me ‘Phantom,’ you were full of confidence, but you failed so miserably.”
Su Yan's face darkened. She hadn't expected Jiang Yun to betray her at the last moment. Over the years, the person she trusted most wasn't Xiao Yi, but him! Yet he betrayed her when she was so close to success! He even told her to give up on Xu Tingchuan, saying she couldn't break them up!
"Give me another bottle of medicine," Su Yan said to Li Rui.
“Miss Su, I’m not your housekeeper.” Li Rui exhaled a puff of smoke in her face and squinted as he said, “Phantom is a newly developed hallucinogenic aphrodisiac. It’s not in production yet. Getting even a small bottle is already very difficult. Do you think it’s just some random vegetable you can find at the market?”
"Why waste time talking nonsense? Is it true or not?" Su Yan looked down on people like Li Rui because of their background, and her words carried a condescending tone.
“Yes, but this time it can’t be given away for nothing.” Li Rui leaned close to Su Yan’s ear and said, “You have to do something for me.”
"Go ahead and say it." Su Yan turned her head away in disgust, not wanting him to get so close.
“Go seduce Shen Muzhi.” Li Rui curled the corner of his mouth and patted her shoulder: “With this face, I believe you can do it.”
Shen Muzhi played a significant role in his being discovered to have murdered and hidden the body, resulting in him serving fifteen years in prison.
Previously, Shen Muzhi had no weaknesses, was backed by the Qinghong Gang, and was more skilled than Xu Tingchuan, so he couldn't be touched for the time being. Now it's different. His recent investigation revealed that this woman named Xiang Zhilan is pregnant with Shen Muzhi's child, and Shen Muzhi cares about her a lot. He'd be happy to have Su Yan stir things up, either to strengthen or weaken their relationship.
If this weakness is exploited well, he can defeat the enemy with a single blow.
