Chapter 598 Extra - Investigation
Thinking that she was still holding his clothes, Jian Yan planned to go and return them to him, but before she could take a step, her arm was grabbed.
"Fang Tong, you're here. We're in a private room upstairs. Shall I take you up?"
It was a client who invited her.
Fang Tong could only go upstairs with the client first.
The discussion lasted for more than an hour, and by the time the details were finally finalized, it was almost 11 p.m.
Fang Tong declined the client's invitation to stay in the private room, citing that her younger brother was still hospitalized, and left first.
Carrying her things downstairs, she was surprised to find that Chen Chu was still there, accompanied by two women.
With a slight frown, Fang Tong felt a sudden sense of unease. She quickly went over and handed over the suit jacket in the bag: "President Chen Chu, this is the jacket you left in our store. Here you go."
Chen Ci was sipping his wine when he heard the unusually familiar voice and paused for a moment before turning around to look.
That one glance made him freeze in place.
"Shu Tong?"
Although the woman in front of me was wearing a light-colored suit and had short hair, there was no doubt that her face was Shu Tong's.
Chen Ci's expression instantly turned to surprise. He stood up from the bar stool, grasped Fang Tong's shoulder, and looked at her with disbelief in his eyes.
"Shu Tong, is that you? When did you arrive?"
The tactile sensation was so real, it truly told Chen Ci that there was a real person in front of him.
Fang Tong tried to break free from him, but the man pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"Shu Tong, am I dreaming?! I've been thinking about you constantly lately, and I dream about you every night..."
Fang Tong forcefully broke free from the man's embrace and slapped him across the face. The sound of the slap stunned Chen Ci.
"Are you awake now, Chairman Chen?"
Fang Tong raised his chin slightly, looking annoyed: "Not every woman likes a man like you. I really feel sorry for your girlfriend!"
After saying this, Fang Tong threw his suit jacket at Chen Ci and stormed off.
Chen Ci was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. Just as he was about to chase after her, the two women beside him grabbed his arm and said, "Hey handsome, why are you chasing after her? Let us stay with you."
Chen Ci glanced back at the woman, his voice cold: "Get lost!"
The woman was taken aback: "Why are you swearing at me! What? You drank our wine and you're not going to pay?"
Chen Ci pulled out his wallet from his bag, took out a wad of cash, and threw it on the bar: "That's enough!"
The woman glanced at it and her eyes immediately lit up: "That's enough, that's enough."
Chen Ci picked up his clothes from the ground and quickly left the bar.
At that moment, in a booth not far away, Cheng Cheng was putting away her phone, her eyes full of a triumphant smile.
Pshaw, Fang Tong still puts on this act of being a pure and innocent lady, but she still comes to the bar to flirt with male customers.
They even used the guise of giving away clothes.
Wow, that's really interesting!
...
By the time Chen Ci came out of the bar, Fang Tong had already taken a taxi and left. All he could see was the traffic at the end of the road. Chen Ci stood at the door, somewhat bewildered.
He had drunk a bit too much, and his mind was a complete blank, his face burning with pain.
He called a designated driver and went home first.
He woke up early the next morning, stared at the light coming through the gap in the curtains for a while, and then suddenly got up.
He rushed into the living room and sure enough, he saw a light gray plaid suit jacket on the sofa.
So, what happened last night is true?
He then rushed into the bathroom, where a bright red handprint was clearly visible on his handsome face in the mirror.
He raised his hand and touched the handprint, then couldn't help but laugh.
He laughed so hard that he ended up squatting on the ground.
He finally found her.
...
After washing up, Chen Ci took out a jar of ointment from the medicine box and gently patted it onto his face, which still bore the handprint.
He never imagined he would need this ointment one day.
After massaging until absorbed, the red marks on his face from the slaps faded but were still noticeable. He was somewhat annoyed that he hadn't used it immediately last night, otherwise he would definitely have recovered by this morning.
Left with no other choice, he could only put on a mask and go out.
He's going to the bar to check the security footage and confirm what happened last night.
Although it was a memory from when he was drunk, the handprint and the suit jacket were still there, so the immediate possibility was that he was drunk and confused, mistaking someone else for Shu Tong.
He arrived a bit late; the bar was already closed. The sign on the door said the bar was open from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Chen Ci had no choice but to drive away from the bar.
On the way, he began to recall what had happened last night.
The woman had short hair and wore a light-colored suit and high heels.
A thought suddenly flashed through Chen Ci's mind, and he turned his car around and drove towards the bar where he had his blind date that day.
If he wasn't mistaken, the figure that flashed by outside the bar that day should also be Shu Tong.
Could it be that she got angry because she saw him on a blind date?
Or is there some other reason?
On the way, Chen Ci called Dr. Lin again to tell him that he had personal matters to attend to and would not be going to the hospital that day.
Dr. Lin hesitated for a moment: "Fang Miao's sister has been wanting to meet you, and she comes over several times a day..."
“Let’s turn back.” Chen Ci answered without hesitation: “Fang Miao’s medical report hasn’t come out yet, and I don’t have anything to say to her right now.”
Dr. Lin replied, "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up Dr. Lin's call, Chen Ci stepped on the gas. His most urgent thought at that moment was to see what that woman looked like!
Is she really his Shu Tong?
...
No one in any public place can show their surveillance footage to outsiders, and the coffee shop is no exception. Chen Ci tried his best to persuade the staff to let him see the footage, but to no avail.
Left with no other option, Chen Ci could only call Chen Tang.
Although he is abroad, cracking a surveillance camera should be a piece of cake for him.
"Brother, I'm at sea right now, it's a miracle you were able to get through to me!"
"I'm in a hurry," Chen Ci reiterated. "Extremely urgent."
Chen Tang paused for a moment, then said, "How about this, you call Shang Yi and tell him I sent him."
"good."
Chen Ci wrote down Shang Yi's phone number and dialed it directly.
Shang Yi agreed to his request, but he was currently in class and wouldn't be able to come out until noon.
Chen Ci drove to the school gate and waited for him. Around noon, he picked him up and treated him to a steak dinner at a coffee shop.
Shang Yi took out his laptop and easily cracked various firewalls, finding the surveillance footage that Chen Ci wanted.
As the woman pushed open the door and entered, Chen Ci's gaze focused on her face, and coincidentally, she raised her head slightly.
It was a face so familiar that it appeared in his dreams every night and lingered in his mind at all times.
Without a doubt.
Although the woman has short hair, it's definitely Shu Tong.
