Night fell unknowingly, and the entire land seemed to be covered by a huge black cloth, plunging everything into darkness.

As soon as darkness descended, the neon lights on both sides of the street simultaneously lit up, like a bright dragon lying across the entire Jiangzhong City, lighting up the night!

In a high-end apartment of Jiangzhong City, Hu Yuanbin sat in the study, looking at the email that had just arrived in his inbox, his face full of gloom!

The content of these emails was nothing else, all about the detailed information he had someone investigate about Ye Xunhuan.

This included the fact that Ye Xunhuan was a marshal, and of course, his marriage to Qiu Ruoxi was also among them, not to mention some messy relationships Ye Xunhuan had with other women!

As Hu Yuanbin read these contents, his face instantly turned ashen, and his pupils flickered with a coldness that made one's heart palpitate!

He couldn't believe that Wu Mei wasn't aware of these things about Ye Xunhuan, knowing that Wu Mei was once with the National Security Bureau.

Yet Wu Mei got involved with Ye Xunhuan, and from the looks of it, their relationship seemed to be more than just boyfriend and girlfriend; they might as well have already had a relationship.

This was something Hu Yuanbin simply couldn't accept.

The moment Hu Yuanbin first met Wu Mei, he immediately launched an intense pursuit of her, but he had never succeeded.

Hu Yuanbin did not hold any grudges or dissatisfaction about it, as he believed that chasing a woman required enough patience, otherwise, how could she possibly be won over so easily?

So Hu Yuanbin persisted tirelessly, shamelessly clinging to Wu Mei, hoping to slowly touch her heart.

Who would have thought that today Wu Mei directly told him that she was Ye Xunhuan's woman, which made Hu Yuanbin's anger instantly rise uncontrollably after seeing the data in front of him!

This woman was willing to be a mistress, to be a third party for another man, yet would not accept his pursuit, as proud as the Virgin Mary.

In one moment, Hu Yuanbin's heart began to slowly twist.

"Wu Mei, since I gave you face and you don't want it, don't blame me!" Hu Yuanbin said with a grim expression!

Saying this, Hu Yuanbin lit a cigarette for himself and started smoking.

Thick smoke exhaled from his mouth, coiling around his face, making Hu Yuanbin's grim, slightly ferocious face gradually become a bit blurry, yet his eyes still flickered with that heart-palpitating coldness!

After finishing a cigarette, Hu Yuanbin slowly picked up the phone he placed aside and dialed a number!

...

The next morning, Dongfang Shu had just gotten up not long before an uninvited guest arrived at the villa.

Upon seeing the guest, Dongfang Shu's face immediately turned cold: "Dongfang Qingyu, wasn't the last lesson enough for you?"

"Or do you think I really don't dare to kill you!"

With his face wrapped in bandages, Dongfang Qingyu said expressionlessly, "I'm not here to look for you this time, I'm just passing on a message for someone else, whether you go or not is up to you!"

Upon hearing Dongfang Qingyu's words, Dongfang Shu seemed to have thought of something, and a bad premonition surged in her heart!

"Who?"

"Young Master Qi!" Dongfang Qingyu said with a moderate tone, "Young Master Qi invites you to come over for a visit, I've delivered the message. Let me know whether you plan to go or not so I can report back to Young Master Qi!"

Upon hearing the words 'Young Master Qi', Dongfang Shu's face immediately became gloomy and unsightly, and even her eyes slowly revealed a look of panic.

Evidently, Dongfang Shu knew who Young Master Qi, mentioned by Dongfang Qingyu, was, and was quite apprehensive of him.

Dongfang Qingyu noticed the subtle change on Dongfang Shu's face and said with an indifferent tone, "You should understand, since Ye Xunhuan has intervened, there's no way Young Master Qi will just sit idly by!"

"The person you will marry in the future is him!"

Although there was no formal betrothal between Dongfang Shu and Young Master Qi as mentioned by Dongfang Qingyu, there had been a verbal agreement in the past.

The difference, however, was that Young Master Qi marrying Dongfang Shu wasn't for a wife, but akin to ancient times, to take a concubine!

"What if I don't go?"

"Then it's up to you, I'm just here to deliver a message." Dongfang Qingyu said with indifference on his face, "But you should be aware of Young Master Qi's temperament, right?"

Dongfang Shu's face gradually turned ugly: "You people are truly ruthless, you actually want to kill with a borrowed knife!"

"This wasn't my decision, and I don't know if it's about killing with a borrowed knife." Dongfang Qingyu said with a calm expression, "Even if we wanted to kill with a borrowed knife, you can't blame us; you brought this upon yourself. If you had listened well, then how could we have told Young Master Qi about this?"

Dongfang Shu did not speak immediately, slowly exhaling a mouthful of stagnant air, she said softly, "Let's go, take me to see him!"

"You truly are a smart person!"

Dongfang Shu snorted coldly, without saying anything.

She didn't want to meet this Young Master Qi either, but there was nothing she could do, since the other party had come, it almost didn't matter whether she met him or not.

One could say, Dongfang Shu had no choice.

Subsequently, Dongfang Shu left the villa with Dongfang Qingyu.

Under Dongfang Qingyu's guidance, Dongfang Shu arrived at a timeworn teahouse.

Upon arrival, Dongfang Qingyu led Dongfang Shu upstairs in the teahouse.

Perhaps because the second floor had already been booked by the opposite party, or maybe it was still early, besides a man with a graceful and jade-like demeanor sitting by the window, there wasn't anyone else.

The man sat by the window, elegantly and skillfully washing and preparing tea...

The man seemed to have immersed himself in the world of tea, not noticing Dongfang Qingyu bringing Dongfang Shu, remaining fully focused on following the steps of the tea ceremony!

After some time, the man finally finished brewing the tea.

Once the tea was finished, the man immediately looked up at Dongfang Shu.

As if he had already anticipated Dongfang Shu's arrival, the man wasn't a bit surprised, smiling at Dongfang Shu, he said, "Since you're here, have a seat and see how the tea I made tastes!"

Saying this, the man poured two cups of tea.

Dongfang Shu didn't hesitate, she walked directly to the opposite of the man and sat down.

"Have a taste!" The man pointed his finger at the tea in front, with a gentle yet deeply smiling face, he said to Dongfang Shu.

For some reason, facing this gentle, noble gentleman-like man, Dongfang Shu felt uneasy, even afraid.

Yet, faced with the man's invitation, Dongfang Shu still picked up the tea in front of her and took a small sip!
