Explanation

Gu Shaoting paused for a moment at Charlene's words but didn't look back. Without hesitation, he walked away.

Sitting back in his car, Gu Shaoting checked the time and immediately dialed Shu Pan's number.

No wonder Shu Pan had been distant lately, barely responding to him unless he reached out first. The change was so sudden, and now he understood why.

He had fallen into a trap, which was surprising considering he wasn't a fool. But this time, he had been caught off guard.

Anyone who tried to manipulate him wouldn't get away with it.

Gu Shaoting's expression was stern as the phone rang in his ear.

After a moment, Shu Pan's voice came through. "Panpan, I need to talk to you," he said, not waiting for her to speak first.

"What is it?" Shu Pan replied, sounding distracted.

"Panpan, did you receive any photos or videos?" Gu Shaoting asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.
