Chapter 54: Zhou Yue is Exposed on the Spot

"Lin Dazhi, I have some exciting little videos here; do you want to see them?"

"Lin Dazhi, Zhou Yue slept with me half a year ago. Haha, didn't expect that, did you?"

"Do you want to see the new positions she unlocked for me? I heard from her that you, her proper husband, haven't even enjoyed them yet. Haha."

Lin Dazhi turned on his phone's speakerphone and, in front of everyone at the table, played Liu Haibo's voice messages one by one.

The private room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

Over a dozen voice messages played in a row; although they were all in Liu Haibo's voice, the content revealed within was explosive. It is no exaggeration to say that any normal man in Lin Dazhi's position would have the urge to grab a knife and kill!

The faces of the elderly couple, Zhou Dakui and Xie Fenglan, no longer held the cheerful expressions they had just a moment ago. Xie Fenglan slunk back to her seat, her gaze drifting to the floor to the side, lost in thought.

Zhou Yue's face turned from green to white. The sound of Liu Haibo's voice coming from Lin Dazhi's phone was like sharp knives stabbing mercilessly into her heart, making her wish she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

This morning, Liu Haibo had been messaging her constantly, asking if she was going to eat with Lin Dazhi at noon. Later on, he simply asked outright if she was going to remarry Lin Dazhi.

Zhou Yue originally didn't want to pay him any mind, so she kept making excuses to brush him off, but she forgot that this old man, Liu Haibo, was not someone to be trifled with. Being able to become the Director of Academic Affairs at Seventh Middle School, Liu Haibo's connections were far greater than she imagined, and his schemes were far deeper than hers!

Zhou Yue's idea of playing both sides and keeping her options open had barely surfaced before it was ruthlessly shattered by Liu Haibo, and his methods could be called brutal!

Liu Haibo had sent all the details of their sordid affair to Lin Dazhi in one go.

His main goal was: if I can't have her, I won't let you have a good time either.

Zhou Yue hadn't expected Liu Haibo to be so vicious; at this moment, she already regretted getting tangled up with this old man.

"Damn it, how dare he? What is he trying to gain by doing this? Doesn't he know that once these things are exposed, he'll be finished too?" Zhou Yue's knuckles turned white as she squeezed her hands, and her modest chest heaved violently, looking surprisingly substantial at this moment.

Lin Dazhi leisurely finished playing a few recordings and, still seemingly unsatisfied, said, "Director Liu also sent me a few videos. Do you want to..."

"Enough!" Zhou Yue, unable to hold back any longer, slammed the table hard, glaring at Lin Dazhi as if she wanted to eat him alive.

Lin Dazhi shrugged and put his phone away.

Seeing this, the Zhou Family all breathed a sigh of relief.

They really couldn't imagine where they would hide their faces if Lin Dazhi had actually played those videos in front of both families!

The expressions of Lin Dazhi's parents were no better. Although their son had already divorced Zhou Yue, having such a shameful matter exposed in public still infuriated them.

"Lin Dazhi, what do you mean by this? It's a holiday, and you're playing this in front of so many people from the family. Is this fun for you?" Zhou Yue asked, staring at Lin Dazhi with red eyes.

Lin Dazhi smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't want to either. But since your mother just said she wanted us to remarry, I had no choice but to play these things Liu Haibo sent. In fact, even if he hadn't sent them, I already knew about these things between you and him. Didn't I ask you about going to the hotel before? You explained to me that it was for a project, but I actually have the footage."

Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, Zhou Yue immediately bristled like a cat, shrieking, "Lin Dazhi, you're shameless and disgusting! You actually had someone follow me?"

As soon as Zhou Yue said this, the corners of Bai Weiwei's and Zhang Xiaoli's mouths twitched simultaneously.

They had already understood completely: it turned out this Zhou Yue had cheated during her marriage, done such a shameful thing, and now still had the nerve to demand remarriage. This woman really was thick-skinned.

"I didn't follow you. I actually really wanted to trust you, but the owner of the hotel you and Liu Haibo often went to wasn't an honest man; he installed cameras in the rooms. It just so happened that when Gangzi was leading an inspection team, he discovered this. You know Gangzi is a righteous guy, so he gave me a copy of the footage. That's how it is." Lin Dazhi spread his hands, his expression wearing a half-smile.

Gangzi was Lin Dazhi's childhood friend who worked at the Shangcheng District Police Station. The two of them had a very close relationship, having grown up together since they were in diapers.

Lin Dazhi was a man of principle; although Gangzi worked at the station, he had almost never asked Gangzi to use his official position for personal matters, with this being the only exception.

Lin Dazhi's words made the expressions on the faces of Zhou Yue and the rest of the Zhou Family look as uncomfortable as if they had eaten excrement. They knew full well that Lin Dazhi pulling this stunt was meant to disgust them, yet they had no way to say anything.

"Auntie, I actually understand the logic behind what you said earlier about how 'a couple for a day is a hundred days of grace' and 'fights in the bedroom are resolved by the time you reach the foot of the bed.' If we had divorced over some trivial matters, it would be my fault for being petty, but this matter... I really can't get past it. After all, I am a man." Lin Dazhi said calmly, his voice not loud, but every word was exceptionally clear.

Zhou Yue glared at Lin Dazhi with hatred, waiting until he finished before slamming the table and saying, "Lin Dazhi, you don't need to play the poor victim there. Regarding the matter between me and Liu Haibo, setting aside the facts, don't you have any responsibility at all? Tell me, what kind of life have I lived with you over the past six months? Have you given me the life I wanted?"

Hearing Zhou Yue say this, Lin Dazhi was not surprised at all; this was the Zhou Yue he was familiar with.

He smiled and said, "You're right, I also have responsibility in this matter. It's because I didn't have the ability to give you the life you wanted, so when you proposed the divorce, I respected your request. I'm a man without much talent and couldn't give you the life you wanted, so I chose to let go and let you pursue the life you desire to your heart's content. Isn't that a good thing?"

"Lin Dazhi, since you put it that way, you still have some sense of responsibility; you're acting like a man! Since you couldn't give me the life I wanted, you should have chosen to let go. This is the version of you I hoped to see." Hearing Lin Dazhi's words, Zhou Yue thought he had softened his stance and hummed coldly, completely unaware that she had already fallen into Lin Dazhi's trap.

Only Xie Fenglan, who was sitting next to her, felt that Lin Dazhi's words were off and hurriedly poked her daughter hard, signaling her to stop talking.

"Exactly, that's why I've already let go, giving you the freedom to pursue a better life. But since Auntie just said we should remarry, how could that be? Wouldn't that just be pushing you back into a pit of fire?" Lin Dazhi looked at Zhou Yue with a look of guilt, his expression one of looking out for her best interests.
