nThe next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze was mixed with heat, making people’s bodies grow sticky.

nLast night, when the Xiao family visited, Mrs. Xiao had invited Old Madam Yan to go to the flower market early in the morning. Qiao Aiyun still had to make a trip to the bridal shop to try on the altered wedding dress. She couldn’t accompany Old Madam Yan, so she asked Song Fengwan to follow her.

nAfter breakfast, she went upstairs to get her bag. When she went downstairs again, she saw Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Jingan sitting in the living room.

nIt was too hot in Nanjiang. Song Fengwan was wearing a fruit-green camisole, white shorts, and a long garment on the outside to shield against sun rays. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her beautiful neck. The light green color added a hint of coolness in this sultry weather.

nXiao Jingan’s eyes lit up as his gaze landed on her fair and tender legs. His throat rolled, and his eyes burned.

nSeeing her son act like this, Mrs. Xiao knew what was going on.

n“Auntie, Big Brother Jingan.” Song Fengwan’s eyes curved into crescents. Her phoenix eyes were glittering and very seductive.

nBig Brother Jingan? When Xiao Jingan heard this, his bones went soft. Just thinking that he could get with her tonight, a glint of lust flashed across his eyes…

n“Wanwan is here. Let’s go.” Old Madam Yan waved her hand and signaled for her to follow her.

nEvery Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Old Madam Yan would go to the flower market for a walk. Last night, when she mentioned it, Mrs.Xiao had said that she wanted to go too. Old Madam Yan couldn’t possibly say that she suddenly didn’t want to go. After Old Madam Yan agreed, Mrs. Xiao brought Xiao Jingan here early this morning.

n“Jingan has nothing to do today, so he insisted on accompanying me to help me as manual labor and carry my bag and flowers. This child is too filial.” Mrs. Xiao kept praising her son non-stop.

nOld Madam Yan smiled and nodded without saying anything.

nXiao Jingan originally wanted to talk to Song Fengwan alone for a while, but Old Madam Yan kept holding her hand, so he didn’t have a chance.

nWhen the four of them arrived at the flower market, they hadn’t taken a few steps before they saw Yan Zhihuan.

n“Grandma, Aunt Xiao, you’re also here in the flower market.” Yan Zhihuan was holding a pot of daffodils.

nHow could Yan Zhihuan not know Old Madam Yan’s habits? She had offended her earlier and specially came to wait here, wanting to curry favor with her. She didn’t expect the Xiao family to be here too and was overjoyed. But when she saw Song Fengwan, her smile cracked a little.

n“Huanhuan, what a coincidence.” Mrs. Xiao was completely unaware of what had happened in the Yan family. She still thought that Old Madam Yan doted on Yan Zhihuan very much, so she treated her quite well.

n“Yes.” Old Madam Yan saw through it but didn’t say anything. She held her cane in one hand and held Song Fengwan’s hand with the other as they continued walking forward.

n“These flowers are not bad.” Mrs. Xiao rarely came to the flower market. She saw many flowers, but she often couldn’t put her finger on them.

n“Auntie, this is sweet flag.” She was Xiao Jingan’s mother, so Yan Zhihuan naturally had to perform well. In the past, in order to please Old Madam Yan, she had often accompanied her here and had put in a lot of effort in identifying flowers.

n“I’ve only seen it before, but I couldn’t think of the name. You’re young, but you know quite a lot.” Mrs. Xiao wouldn’t offend anyone, so she naturally praised her again.

nSong Fengwan was staring at a blooming flower. She was about to ask the boss when Yan Zhihuan spoke.

n“That’s hibiscus.”

nSong Fengwan smiled awkwardly.

nWhile they were shopping, Yan Zhihuan kept showing off her knowledge.

nOld Madam Yan liked a pot of flowers and was talking to the boss. Song Fengwan walked to the side to look at the flowers, so Xiao Jingan leaned over. “You’re really beautiful today.”

nHis turbid exhale landed on the side of her neck, and Song Fengwan’s fingers tightened. If it wasn’t for the inappropriate timing, she would have slapped him.

nYan Zhihuan had been observing Xiao Jingan the whole time. When she saw him actually walk to Song Fengwan’s side and the two of them being so close to each other, her fingers tightened, and she broke a branch in her hand.

n“Wanwan, this peace lily isn’t bad. Buy a pot and put it in your bedroom.” Old Madam Yan called her over.

nWhen Song Fengwan passed by Yan Zhihuan, someone bumped her shoulder. Song Fengwan staggered and almost bumped into a large cactus at the side. She subconsciously used her hand to support herself, and two hard thorns pierced her palm.

n“Little Sister, are you alright?” Yan Zhihuan put on an innocent face. “I was too focused on looking at the flowers and didn’t notice you beside me. You don’t even make a sound when you walk.”

nSong Fengwan smiled lightly. You bumped into me yet still blamed me for walking silently.

n“What’s the matter?” Old Madam Yan walked over.

n“Nothing.” Song Fengwan clenched her fists and smiled.

nSong Fengwan couldn’t be bothered with Yan Zhihuan, but she seemed to be deliberately showing off, wanting to outdo her in everything to make her look like an ignorant idiot.

n***

nOn the other side…

nFu Chen and Duan Linbai ate breakfast in the hotel.

n“I have to go out for a while. Go to the beach by yourself.” Fu Chen wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue elegantly.

n“Isn’t Little Sister-in-Law busy today? You don’t have any business or friends here. Why are you going out?” Duan Linbai yawned.

n“Someone is finding trouble with Wanwan. I’m going to deal with it.”

n“F*ck, who’s so bold?” Duan Linbai slapped the table and stood up. “Why didn’t you tell me there was such excitement?”

n“Don’t you want to sunbathe?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

n“I can tan under the sun anytime. Let’s go. I’ll go with you.”

nDuan Linbai was gossipy to begin with, so how could he miss a good show like this?

n“Wait for me. I’ll go upstairs to get some clothes.” He wiped his mouth deftly and bolted upstairs.

n“Third Master?” Shi Fang was confused. “Why are you bringing him? We’re going to handle proper business, while he clearly wants to watch a show.”

n“Who said I’m bringing him to watch a show?” Fu Chen rubbed the hibiscus stone hanging down from the prayer bead bracelet with his fingers and slowly smiled.

nShi Fang chewed on his gum, unable to see through him at all.

n…

nShi Fang rented a car, and the three of them drove to a residential unit building using the navigation system.

n“Who exactly wants to cause trouble for Little Sister-in-Law?” Duan Linbai’s face was full of excitement. Ever since he went blind, he hadn’t had the time to follow gossip and had missed a lot of good shows. “Isn’t he f*cking asking for it?”

n“He sent someone to tail Wanwan before, and he probably used this to threaten her. I’m going to find the person who tailed her.”

n“Why did he tail Little Sister-in-Law? The Yan family has such a huge influence in Nanjiang. Don’t tell me he wants to investigate her to hit on her? Or does he want to kidnap her or blackmail her?” Duan Linbai chuckled.

nFu Chen shot him a cold look. Duan Linbai was stunned. F*ck, did I really hit the nail on the head? My stupid mouth.

n“Third Master, at three-zero-two.” Shi Fang parked the car at the entrance of the building.

nAs soon as the three of them got out of the car, they saw a signboard at the entrance of the building: Professional tracking. Competitive prices.

nThere were also densely packed words below, such as tailing a mistress and so on.

nThe three of them arrived at the entrance. Shi Fang knocked on the door, and soon, rustling sounds came from inside. Since someone had already come to his door for business, the man hurriedly opened it.

nWhen he opened the door and saw Duan Linbai, he was dumbfounded.

nHe was wearing googles covering his face, but his floral shorts and fair skin were exceptionally eye-catching. He had a deep impression of him. Moreover, he also recognized the man wearing sunglasses and holding a prayer bead bracelet.

nHis tracking targets had suddenly knocked on his door. His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively wanted to close the door.

nShi Fang reached out his hand to press down on the door and suddenly exerted force. The man wasn’t that strong, and his fingers loosened, causing the door to hit the wall behind it with a dull thud.

nFu Chen walked in first. There were advertisements on the wall, such as how much it would cost to tail someone for a few days. The table was full of wiretapping devices, and there was also a stack of photos. The top one was of Song Fengwan.

n… Because he had only been following her recently.

nYesterday, when he passed the photos to Xiao Jingan, Xiao Jingan had said that there was no need to tail her anymore, and they planned to meet in the afternoon to settle the bill. Thus, he stayed at home since he had nothing to do today. But unexpectedly, the people he had been tailing came here.

n“Why are you three here?” He smiled awkwardly, feeling extremely guilty.

nIt was illegal to follow someone. If the people involved complained, he would definitely be sued.

n“Oh, there really are photos.” Duan Linbai took action quickly. He picked up the photos on the table and flipped through them carefully.

nThe more he looked at them, the more dumbfounded he became.

n“F*ck—” Duan Linbai flipped through the photos carefully. Why am I all over the photos?

n“What’s wrong?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

nDuan Linbai passed the photos to Fu Chen. “Third Fu, I swear that the most intimate photo is when I was applying eye drops. Little Sister-in-Law only wiped my eyes for me. There’s really f*cking nothing going on. I definitely didn’t seduce Sister-in-Law.”

n“Do you dare?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

nMoreover, Fu Chen had been there at the time as well, and Qian Jiang and Shi Fang were also by the side. How could anything else have happened?

nDuan Linbai muttered softly, “It’s mainly because I don’t eat young grass.”

n“Mhm?” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

n“Nothing. Hehe—” Duan Linbai had a million curses he wanted to voice in his heart. Fortunately, he had come. Otherwise, if Fu Chen had seen these photos first…

nFu Chen naturally knew that there was nothing between him and Song Fengwan, but this fellow could really hold grudges. He might be secretly preparing to dig a trap for him again.

n“Sir, this…” The man reached out his hand to snatch the photos.

nDuan Linbai reached out to press his shoulder down. “Did you take all these photos?”

n“This is client privacy. I…” He was preparing to pack up and go to hand the hard disk and everything else to Xiao Jingan. He was planning to settle the final payment, so everything was on the table and ready to be packed.

n“Client privacy? Don’t I have privacy? If I hadn’t followed him here, my clean reputation would have been ruined by you! I’ve been out of the mud for so many years without being tainted. You’re f*cking trying to kill me by claiming that I hit on Sister-in-Law!”

nFu Chen continued to look at the photos.

nShi Fang closed the door casually and leaned against the door frame.

nHe finally understood why Third Master had called Duan Linbai over.
