1 Chapter 1 Catching Cheaters in Bed

Today, Yan Qingruo finally passed the thesis defense at C University, known as the devil's trial, graduating with the most outstanding results.

When she received her grades, she excitedly went to find her boyfriend, Li Haocheng, wanting to share the good news with him right away.

But as she knocked on Li Haocheng's door, she heard an indecent sound coming from inside:

In Li Haocheng's apartment, the moans grew louder and more intense.

"Haocheng, you're so amazing..." a woman moaned seductively.

"Baby, you're even better!" the man replied, not to be outdone.

The woman, twisting her slender waist, breathed out provocatively, "Haocheng, who's better, me or Yan Qingruo?"

The man gasped with flattery, "Of course it's you, baby. Yan Qingruo is plain water, not sweet or intoxicating like you. If it weren't for the things her mother left her, why would I be with her..."

Hearing these sounds, Yan Qingruo's heart plunged into the abyss.

She froze for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes, almost unable to believe her own ears.

After a while, she was jolted awake by the loud noises inside.

"Li Haocheng! Li Haocheng!" She banged on the door forcefully.

After a while, the door finally opened, but when it did, there was only Li Haocheng inside, no other woman.

She vaguely saw a woman running away from the window, after all, Li Haocheng's apartment was on the ground floor...

The silhouette of the woman seemed familiar.

Yan Qingruo rushed to the window, but the woman had vanished without a trace.

"Ruoruo, listen to my explanation... things are not what you think... I..." Li Haocheng's face went pale, not expecting to be caught in the act, desperately trying to explain.

Yan Qingruo bit her lips, glancing towards the bed.

On the bed, women's lingerie was scattered around; her heart had already lost all hope for him.

She slapped Li Haocheng across the face, "Li Haocheng, I never imagined you'd be such a person! You're with me just for the inheritance my mother left me! I've been so blind! You truly disgust me!"

She turned and left, as Li Haocheng frantically chased after her, but Yan Qingruo had already stormed off in anger.

...

The night was frighteningly long. Yan Qingruo tossed and turned, tears streaming down unabated.

Staying awake all night, the thought of this relationship caused her immense heartache.

In the end, she made up her mind, she must break up with Li Haocheng!

She would make it clear to him first thing tomorrow morning.

The next day, Yan Qingruo met Li Haocheng at the café, with Li Haocheng still trying to salvage the relationship.

Seeing Yan Qingruo approaching, Li Haocheng hurriedly said, "Ruoruo, I can explain about yesterday. It was just play-acting with that woman, there were no real feelings... My feelings for you are genuine..."

Yan Qingruo hadn't slept well the entire night, her eyes were still somewhat swollen.

She sat down in the café, took a sip from her cup, and gathered the strength to speak, "No need to say anymore, Li Haocheng, let's break up!"

"Ruoruo..." Li Haocheng hastily tried to take Yan Qingruo's hand.

But she disdainfully avoided his touch. Although they dated for a year, Yan Qingruo always avoided his touch.

Now after such an incident, her heart rejected him even more.

She put down the cup, bit her lip and said, "Li Haocheng, it's impossible between us. My mother didn't leave me anything, so just keep your greedy heart to yourself! From now on, we are officially broken up!"

After she finished speaking, she didn't look back at Li Haocheng. She turned and strode away, heading directly towards a hotel.

…

Thwarted in love, life must still go on.

In the morning, Yan Qingruo received a phone call for a job interview, notifying her to go in the morning.

Yan Qingruo, carrying her resume and folder, entered the hotel.

This position was one she had long aspired to, so she felt both anxious and excited, yet there was also a hint of loss…

A year of affection had come to an end. She was not without sorrow, and that heart-wrenching feeling still tormented her vividly.

The hotel was decorated luxuriously, with well-dressed people carrying briefcases coming and going.

Yan Qingruo looked enviously at these busy people while dreaming of her future job, trying her best to push unhappy thoughts to the back of her mind.

She took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and whispered to herself, "Yan Qingruo, you need to be strong!"

You can do it!

Then, she lifted her head high, puffed out her chest, and strode into the elevator.

What now unfolded before her was a new canvas of life.

What she didn't know was that the water she had drunk when she met with Li Haocheng had already been drugged…

The drug could make her lose her mind, unaware of what she herself had done…

Li Haocheng looked at Yan Qingruo's retreating figure and let out a cold laugh. Humph, although they had been engaged for a long time, she had never let him touch her more, even resisting a simple kiss. She had always been distant towards him.

She also refused to transfer the ownership of the apartment in her name to him, denying him as her boyfriend any benefits!

Taking advantage of a deal with Boss Wang, Li Haocheng finally managed to sell Yan Qingruo out.

Since they had broken up anyway, if he couldn't get hold of the apartment under Yan Qingruo's name, at least he could profit from this deal as some compensation for his time as her boyfriend.

The recruitment call Yan Qingruo received today was naturally Li Haocheng's idea, arranged by someone he deployed to call Yan Qingruo.

Watching Yan Qingruo enter the hotel elevator, a sneaky smile hung on Li Haocheng's face…

And Yan Qingruo was completely unaware, stepping into the elevator and directly pressing the button for her intended floor, the thirty-sixth.

No sooner had she entered the elevator than she felt its temperature was quite high, much hotter than outside.

Waves of scorching heat emanated from her body, making Yan Qingruo's steps a bit unsteady…

The abnormal heat flushed her cheeks red, and a strange sensation crept over her, blurring her consciousness.

This was a bizarre feeling she had never experienced before.

Yan Qingruo felt terribly uncomfortable, with a peculiar feeling she didn't know how to alleviate, so she used her hand as a fan, waving it gently back and forth for air.

The elevator continued its ascent to the designated floor, but Yan Qingruo felt her entire body failing, even lacking the strength to fan herself…

On the thirty-sixth floor, a tall figure appeared. His height was much taller than average men, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs, his upright figure casting a large, slanting shadow in the corridor.

His nose was straight, his gaze firm, and the black suit added a touch of coldness and seriousness to him.

Tall, with an imposing aura; cold, as if the air around him carried a low pressure.

His features were like those of a god descended to earth, captivating to anyone who laid eyes on him.

As soon as he appeared, people automatically stepped aside to make way for him, bowing respectfully, "Mr. Mo!"
