Han Shipei clearly has no intention of actually helping Chen Feng. Instead, she stands on the side of her best friend, Hong Xiaodan.
After all, the hundred and fifty thousand or even two hundred thousand promised by Chen Feng is somewhat small. Compared to Hong Xiaodan's billions in assets, the benefits she can occasionally get from Hong Xiaodan far exceed those tens or hundreds of thousands.
At this moment, Chen Feng certainly doesn't know that Han Shipei, this female playboy, is actually a double agent. Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter much.
Chen Feng actually doesn't care much about whether she can successfully help Hong Xiaodan find love, he's just going along with the flow. If it works, that's great, if not, it's no big deal.
But if Han Shipei were to help Hong Xiaodan plot against him, the nature of the matter would be entirely different.
If Hong Xiaodan were really to drug him as per Han Shipei's suggestion, Chen Feng, as the victim, would definitely not let her off once he found out.
But since Hong Xiaodan is still hesitant and hasn't followed through with her suggestion, Han Shipei remains unscathed for now.
However, Han Shipei believes that her suggestion is harmless and non-malicious to Chen Feng, in fact, it equates to offering him benefits.
If, in the future, things work out between Hong Xiaodan and Chen Feng and they become a couple or even married, she would be the matchmaker in every sense, and both of them would be grateful to her.
That's also a key reason why she's so dedicated.
Both Hong Xiaodan and Chen Feng are wealthy, and as someone from a humble background, they are people she needs to flatter and win over.
If she successfully becomes their matchmaker and makes them husband and wife, she would definitely reap significant rewards.
...
Shortly after Chen Feng returned to his villa, he received a call from an unfamiliar number, which, judging by the first few digits, seemed to be from his hometown in Lu City. So, he answered it.
"Hello, is this Chen Feng?" The voice on the other end was male and sounded somewhat familiar, though Chen Feng couldn't recall who it was immediately.
"Hello, this is Chen Feng. Who are you and what do you need?" Chen Feng politely inquired.
"I'm Ning Xiaorong, we've met before."
Chen Feng was initially startled, then frowned and asked, "You're Yu Xiaohui's husband? What do you want from me?"
"Haha, I can't really call myself her husband now. We've been separated for almost two years. Can we still be considered a couple? Next month, we're going to court for our divorce..."
"Enough." Chen Feng interrupted him impatiently, "What do you want from me? Let me make this clear, I really have nothing going on with Yu Xiaohui, and I can swear by that. Of course, if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter."
Chen Feng wasn't lying, he never really had any intimate contact with his wife. From the start, he didn't intend to get involved with Yu Xiaohui, and afterwards, when they spent the night together, it was completely initiated by her.
"Chen Feng, to be honest, the last time I went to Qingpu, it was mainly to catch in the act. You were in the same room as Xiao Hui that night, you can't deny that, right? If I caught you in the act and took pictures, it would definitely benefit me in the divorce with Xiao Hui, especially in terms of property division and child custody..."
"So what?" Chen Feng cut him off again, "Why are you telling me this? I don't want to get involved in your family dispute, I'm not interested in you and Yu Xiaohui at all."
"Alright, I'll keep it short. You've probably heard about Zhang Ming, right? It's really tragic, no one saw it coming. In recent days, Xiao Hui has been comforting Lou Xiaojiao, and Zhang Ming's funeral has been arranged. This has put Lou Xiaojiao in a very bad mood. So, Xiao Hui plans to take her to Xiu Zhou for a trip, and they might contact you, since you live there."
Chen Feng was taken aback, and quickly asked, "Wait, Zhang Ming's funeral? What happened to Zhang Ming, don't tell me he's dead?"
"You don't know?" Ning Xiaorong asked in surprise, "Xiao Hui didn't tell you?"
"No. I told you, I really don't have anything going on with you... with Xiao Hui."
In fact, after returning to Xiu Zhou, Chen Feng immediately blocked Yu Xiaohui and Lou Xiaojiao on WeChat.
"Alright then. I'll briefly explain."
Ning Xiaorong, with patience, recounted the events leading to Zhang Ming's death. They all knew Zhang Ming was Lou Xiaojiao's lover, and they both had their own families and children.
Lou Xiaojiao's husband instigated a divorce following a quarrel with her and suspected Zhang Ming of inciting Lou Xiaojiao, harboring deep resentment towards Zhang Ming, the adulterer.
Initially, he begrudgingly wore the green hat as long as Lou Xiaojiao maintained the facade of a marriage and continued to provide for his indulgent lifestyle; he was content, permitting each to indulge on their own.
However, during this quarrel, Lou Xiaojiao explicitly stated her desire for a divorce and promptly closed off his financial support, leaving him so financially strained that he couldn't afford basic needs, let alone indulge in gambling or other vices.
How could he endure this? He grew increasingly convinced that Zhang Ming was behind this, and though he dared not confront Lou Xiaojiao, his anger towards Zhang Ming escalated until he went to where Zhang Ming and Lou Xiaojiao were staying and stabbed Zhang Ming.
At the time, Lou Xiaojiao was in the shower, completely unaware. Her husband fled after stabbing Zhang Ming, who passed out immediately.
By the time Lou Xiaojiao came out of the shower, more than ten minutes had passed. By the time she called for an ambulance in her panic, it was too late—Zhang Ming had already died from excessive blood loss.
As the murderer, her husband naturally couldn't escape justice, facing either a death sentence or life imprisonment.
In one fell swoop, two families were shattered. Lou Xiaojiao lost both her nominal husband and actual lover, suffering a double blow.
Yu Xiaohui, as her close friend, had been by her side these past few days, providing psychological support at the expense of her own family and children.
This time, Yu Xiaohui even plans to take Lou Xiaojiao to Xiu Zhou for a break.
So, there's a high chance they'll get in touch with Chen Feng, this old classmate living in Xiu Zhou.
"Alright. I understand. But why did you call me?" Chen Feng asked impatiently.
"Let me be straight. If you can get evidence of Xiao Hui's affair, I can pay you a good reward. How about 500,000?"
Ning Xiaorong resorted to asking Chen Feng for help out of desperation, with the divorce trial with Yu Xiaohui approaching next month, concerning asset division worth billions. Naturally, he was unwilling to evenly split the assets with Yu Xiaohui.
Originally, it was Zhang Ming's job to gather evidence of Yu Xiaohui's infidelity, but with Zhang Ming's death, Ning Xiaorong had no choice but to track down Chen Feng's private number to persuade him to take on the task.
