In the private room.
Sheng Xiangsi and the man sat facing each other, the man staring at her incessantly, not even blinking his eyes.
"Xiangsi, this is our third meeting. That day at Jiuxian Bridge, it was your grandmother's death anniversary, and you were there too, right? You were wearing a mask at that time..."
"I didn't come here to talk about these things."
Sheng Xiangsi frowned and interrupted him impatiently.
"I've seen your face, now where's the money? Can you give it to me?"
"Uh-huh."
The man nodded. "I brought it, I'll give it to you in a moment... Xiangsi, we haven't seen each other in many years. You suddenly went abroad before, without saying a word. How have you been all these years? You and Second Master Fu..."
"Enough."
Sheng Xiangsi interrupted him calmly.
"Do you think these questions are appropriate for you to ask?"
"I..." The man was taken aback, his expression complex. "Why can't I ask? Xiangsi, I care about you. Are you not happy with Second Master Fu?"
That day, when they met on the street, Second Master Fu clearly seemed to be protecting her.
They didn't seem like a couple with a bad relationship, but it was an undeniable fact that Sheng Xiangsi was sent abroad years ago!
"Xiangsi, can you tell me why you suddenly need such a large sum of money? Is Second Master Fu treating you badly?"
"How dare you?"
Sheng Xiangsi couldn't help but sneer.
Her eyes were full of sarcasm. "You care about me now? Isn't it a bit too late?"
Where was he when she needed him? Where was his concern? In this world, the most worthless thing was expired affection!
"...," The man hesitated, his expression troubled and pained. "Yes, it's my fault. But Xiangsi, can you tell me if something happened? Is Second Master Fu treating you badly?"
"Enough!"
Sheng Xiangsi closed her eyes, stopping him calmly.
"If I don't tell you, will I not get the money today?"
"No..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The force was strong, as if the person inside didn't open the door, they would break it down from the outside!
"Open the door!"
"Hurry up and open the door!"
"Police! Open the door inside! Quickly!"
What's going on?
Why would the police come?
Sheng Xiangsi glanced at the man, and the man's expression suddenly panicked.
"Oh no!" The man stood up. When the police came, even minor issues could become major ones. Even if they were fine, they would be taken to the police station to make a statement.
However, he couldn't let his family know about him coming to see Sheng Xiangsi today.
Humph.
Sheng Xiangsi saw through his reaction.
This man, who claimed to love and care for her, always put himself first at critical moments!
"You."
Sheng Xiangsi raised an eyebrow, looking at him coldly.
"We haven't done anything wrong. We can just open the door and tell them... what our relationship is!"
"Xiangsi, I..." The man looked hesitant, clearly unwilling.
"Are you afraid of something?"
Sheng Xiangsi raised her eyebrows, looking at him coldly.
"We haven't done anything wrong. We can just open the door and tell them... what our relationship is!"
"Xiangsi, I..." The man looked hesitant, clearly unwilling.
"Are you afraid of something?"
Sheng Xiangsi's face sank, turning away from him.
"Go out through the terrace door."
"Xiangsi..."
"Hurry up!"
Sheng Xiangsi didn't want to pay any more attention to him, urging, "Still not leaving? I'm going to open the door! If you get taken to the police station, your wife won't be able to keep it a secret!"
"!"
Hearing this, the man trembled, then turned and ran to the terrace.
Huh, huh.
Sheng Xiangsi smiled coldly, her back turned, silently mocking.
She didn't need him anymore...
Taking a deep breath, she walked to the door and opened it.
"Sheng Xiangsi!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she was met with Fu Hanjiang's angry face!
How angry was he?
In that split second of eye contact, Sheng Xiangsi even had the illusion that Fu Hanjiang, like a husband whose wife had been caught cheating!
"Humph! What have you done!"
Fu Hanjiang grabbed her waist.
"Ah!"
Sheng Xiangsi's face paled in shock as she retreated repeatedly, falling onto the sofa. But Fu Hanjiang didn't let go, his tall figure looming over her.
"Where's the man?" he demanded.
"I...," Sheng Xiangsi's face turned white, her eyelashes trembling lightly. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"!"
Fu Hanjiang was infuriated, his expression fierce. "Alright! I'm asking you, did you sleep with a man?"
"???" Sheng Xiangsi was dumbfounded.
She never expected him to ask such a question.
Subconsciously, she asked him back, "Is it any of your business?"
"I'm asking you!" Fu Hanjiang's patience was exhausted. "Answer me! Yes or no?"
His voice was loud and menacing, as if he would tear her apart if she said yes! It was utterly inexplicable!
Sheng Xiangsi was also stubborn. With her neck stiff, she said word by word, "It's none of your business."
"!"
Fu Hanjiang paused, good, very good!
He suddenly let go, stood up from the sofa. His tall figure cast a heavy shadow over Sheng Xiangsi.
Finally free from his grip, Sheng Xiangsi gasped for breath, adjusting her breathing.
"Hey, you."
The police walked over, looking at her. "Come with us to the police station!"
"Why?" Sheng Xiangsi was still in shock, still shaken.
"We suspect you're engaged in illegal trading activities here. Come with us to investigate!"
Illegal trading activities?
Was it because she came here to sell herself?
"No, I didn't!" Sheng Xiangsi shook her head frantically. She wouldn't accept this accusation!
"Whether you did or not, it's not up to you to decide!"
"Take her away!"
"No..." Sheng Xiangsi was at a loss.
"A female officer, come and take her away!"
"Here."
Outside, the club manager was very anxious.
"What's going on? Is there a misunderstanding? We don't engage in such transactions here. This person... is not a member of our club."
"Officer, her actions have nothing to do with our club!"
The manager was also unlucky. He didn't know who reported the club suddenly, causing such a scene!
Who else could it be?
Of course, it was Second Master Fu. Since they didn't allow him to investigate, he brought the police to investigate!
Sheng Xiangsi suddenly looked at Fu Hanjiang. It was him! It must be him! Was his purpose her? Why?
Humph, did she think this would harm her?
She had done nothing wrong. Even if she went to the police station, so what? She could endure the trouble!
"Wait!"
Fu Hanjiang suddenly spoke up, taking long strides to stand in front of Sheng Xiangsi.
Lowering his head, he whispered in her ear, "As long as you confess truthfully, I promise not to let them take you away."
