At that instant, even Song Jing, who some might say was too oblivious of danger, felt... intimidated.
Zhongli Wuzhi didn’t stay long in the detention center. After meeting with Song Jing, he left the place.
Xiaoer had naïvely praised Song Jing for his broad-mindedness and generosity. Even though his career was threatened by an injury, he remained positive...
Xiaoer had also naïvely pitied him and felt it was unfair on his behalf...
Zhongli Wuzhi sat in his sports car, which was parked by the curbside.
He watched the road ahead, his mind replaying the memories of his time spent with Lu Xiaoer.
He remembered the first time they met, her sharp decisiveness, her fearlessness.
He remembered the years he spent at her side as "friends," pretending for so long...
He remembered the Dongheng earthquake, the first time she initiated a conversation with him. She had said it was during the disaster relief in Dongheng that her impression of him began to change. Ever since, she had been determined to use her own eyes, her own heart to understand him, to know him.

But with the beautiful memories came terrible ones.
That night, how did he lose all reason; how did he fail to notice...
Closing his eyes, he saw only Lu Xiaoer as she lay in bed that night, held in Song Jing’s arms, turning away from him, repeatedly saying, "No, it’s not..."

Zhongli Wuzhi took a breath, and just then, his phone rang. He answered the call,
"Young Master Zhongli, I’ve looked into the matter you asked about, and I have some information."
Zhongli Wuzhi’s fox-like eyes opened, sharp light gleaming through their slits, "Speak."
"The person in charge of the hotel confirmed that someone did indeed check Miss Lu’s room registration records that evening. However, we can’t tell who it was just based on network access logs. It might take a little more time."
"Not quite. Regarding the type of sedative you mentioned, the kind that doesn’t leave any residue, I found some information. It’s a kind of vaporizing aphrodisiac."
"That’s right, it evaporates into the air after use. This kind of drug is unique to M country."
