"Wu Laoshi, I really don't mean that. Look, have you misunderstood me?"

"Alright, if it's a misunderstanding, then everything can naturally be explained clearly. Sigh, what is this?"

"Wu Pengqing was speaking and getting ready to walk out, but just then, on the spot where Zhao Yixuan had been standing, he spotted a gold earring."

"So he curiously picked it up and took a close look at it in his hand."

"This, I guess he left it behind; I'll call him later and have him come pick it up."

"Wu Laoshi, wait a moment."

"Just then, Xiao Yunzhe suddenly seemed to realize something, so he hurried forward."

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Can I take a look at that earring?"

"Oh, go ahead, but this is clearly a lady's earring; I guess it must have been left by his girlfriend or someone."

"While speaking, he placed the earring in Xiao Yunzhe's hand."

"He took it and examined it closely, though he stared at it, really getting a clear look at the earring."

"How is this exactly the same as the earring I previously bought for Geng Jing Shu?"

"Moreover, the pattern on it looks completely identical as well."

"He couldn't believe it; could such a coincidence really happen?"

"But who knows? Normally, Geng Jing Shu and Zhao Yixuan wouldn't have any contact."

"Moreover, the key point is, although they know each other, they don't get many chances to interact."

"What's up?"

"Oh, nothing, I just feel it's quite delicate; if I had time, I'd also like to buy one for Jing Shu. Wu Laoshi, can I take a photo?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect you, little guy, to be so conscientious, treating your wife so well. Alright, go ahead and take the photo; if I think it's appropriate, you can also buy her a set later."

"Wu Pengqing didn't think much of it; he just generously watched him pull out his phone and then took the photo."

"After leaving Wu Pengqing's place, he kept muttering to himself, feeling that something was really off,"

"Moreover, in his impression, during this recent period, he truly hadn't seen this pair of earrings on Geng Jing Shu's ears."

"But how did her earring end up in Zhao Yixuan's hands? And what kind of private contact do they have?"

"Originally, Xiao Yunzhe wasn't broad-minded, so upon thinking of all this, he began to wildly speculate."

"In the blink of an eye, it was already five o'clock, and there was still an hour until the appointed time."

"He knew that if he were a gentleman, he should proactively arrive early at that place and make all the arrangements."

"So he simply packed up a bit and then hurriedly left the company."

"At that moment, in Zong Mengni's home, Zong Mengni was still changing into these clothes one set after another."

"Now the bed was covered in a pile of clothes, and he really didn't know what to wear to meet him."

"If he wore formal evening attire, he felt it would be overly formal, and such an occasion would indeed be inappropriate."

"If he dressed more ladylike, he would feel he was perhaps placing too much importance on this matter."

"After thinking it over, he still felt it should be casual, so that it wouldn't cause any misunderstanding and he could be more relaxed."

"In the end, he still wore a pair of jeans and then put on a jacket over them."

"Her shapely figure was once again highlighted; including Zong Mengni, every time she saw herself in the mirror, she actually still felt proud of it."

"Women naturally like to have a good figure, and Zong Mengni happened to have that wish fulfilled."

"After leaving home, he drove his car and headed straight onto the main road,"

"But just then, suddenly, he saw a white van blocking the middle of the road."

"He hastily hit the brakes, and he almost ended up lunging onto the steering wheel."

"He didn't understand what had happened."

"As he was thinking about this, he saw several black-clad men jump down, their heads completely wrapped in black cloth."

"Zong Mengni suddenly realized, could it be that she had encountered robbers? Were these people really after her?"

"She merely tensed up and curled her body, after which those men just hammered on the car windows."

"Zong Mengni at this moment simply held firm to the belief that if she didn't open the car window, perhaps these people couldn't get in at all."

"But she underestimated them; soon, one of the men produced a thin wire-like object and lightly turned it at the car lock."

"Quickly, the door was opened, and finally, he and those men roughly dragged her out of the car."

"Who are you? What do you want to do"

"He nervously asked this, but no one answered him; he was directly shoved into the car."

"Afterward, that white van completely disappeared from that secluded side road."

"In the restaurant, Xiao Yunzhe had prepared some things and was waiting here patiently."

"By now it was six fifteen; normally, Zong Mengni should have arrived by this time."

"He picked up the phone and dialed Zong Mengni's number, wanting to ask if she was encountering any trouble."

"But the phone gave the sound of being switched off."

"This isn't right; we clearly had made plans, so how could her phone suddenly be turned off?"

"Upon thinking this, he hurriedly rose from his seat and glanced inside."

"At this point, the sky had completely darkened, and he wasn't sure what had happened."

"However, Xiao Yunzhe could think of one thing: that Zong Mengni would not show up here tonight."

"In her heart, she actually began to gradually feel some worry."

"Normally, after receiving his invitation, Zong Mengni should have come here eagerly."

"After all, this was a good opportunity for them to resolve their past grievances."

But she just didn't come, and moreover, she hasn't even given herself any explanation.
