Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

This statement contained so much information that Fu Yao was stunned and couldn't process it for a moment.

She asked cautiously, "You and your husband's brother...you..."

Yan Zhen could tell at a glance that she had misunderstood, and said with a smile, "I didn't cheat, I don't do that kind of thing."

She briefly explained the situation of the Shen family, which initially angered Fu Yao, then amazed her, and finally made her look at her with bright eyes and admiration.

"Yu Nong, you are simply a role model for us all!" Fu Yao gave her a thumbs up. "Unable to endure domestic violence, you took up boxing and ended up beating the abusive man. This is something that would be celebrated and praised in the news."

“You understand news traffic,” Yan Zhen said.

After chatting idly for a while, Yan Zhen asked about Fu Yao's blind date.

Is Hu Dawei still bothering you?

“I blocked him on WeChat, but he kept trying to add me with different accounts, and I ignored him,” Fu Yao said. “After you gave my mom some pointers last time, she asked around about Hu Dawei, and guess what?”

Fu Yao kept Yan Zhen in suspense for a moment, then continued, "Goodness, his father is a gambler. The bizarre things he's done are worthy of being featured on 'Protecting Jiefang West Road.' A couple of years ago, he was in debt and couldn't pay it back, so he accepted a dowry of 200,000 yuan and tried to sell his daughter, who was still in high school."

Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow: "And then?"

"Fortunately, the girl was quick-witted and escaped in the middle of the night to call the police. This incident became known far and wide, and the Hu family became a notorious pit of fire. Anyone who knew about their family situation was unwilling to marry their daughter to them."

Hu Dawei also has an older brother. Both of them are getting on in years and have been asking matchmakers everywhere to arrange marriages, but every single one has fallen through. My mother was furious when she found out, and she immediately called Aunt Wang and berated her, cutting off all contact with her.

"Well done!" Yan Zhen said. "Your mother was just blinded by the people she trusted. Once she breaks free from her preconceived notions, she is still quite clear-headed."

“This incident has left her with psychological trauma. For several days in a row, she kept nagging me, saying that I shouldn’t have forced me to go on blind dates, and that if I married someone like Hu Dawei, my life would be ruined.”

Fu Yao said this with a relaxed expression, "You have no idea how happy I was after she agreed. Before, I was under pressure from her to contact Hu Dawei. I had to reply to WeChat messages, answer phone calls, and be proactive. Otherwise, Hu Dawei would complain to my mom and Aunt Wang, saying that I was impolite and ignored him... I was already annoyed at work, and having to deal with this kind of person during breaks was making me question my life."

Yan Zhen saw Fu Yao's happy expression and was genuinely relieved for her.

But recalling Fu Yao's experience in her previous life, she straightened her expression and reminded her, "It's a good thing that your mother isn't pressuring you anymore, but you can't let your guard down. In the case of the Hu family, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for the law, Hu Dawei would have wanted to snatch a woman back, tie her up, and have her give birth. Now that he has his eye on you, he probably won't give up easily. You have to be wary of him resorting to underhanded tactics."

Fu Yao's smile vanished: "Does he dare to act recklessly?"

“That’s hard to say.” Yan Zhen couldn’t tell her how extreme Hu Dawei was. “You’re a criminal defense lawyer. You should have seen more examples of how evil human nature can be than I have.”

Fu Yao's expression changed completely after hearing those words.

She had studied many serious criminal cases, but people always have a sense of luck; if something doesn't happen to them, they always feel that it's far away from them.

After a moment of contemplation, Fu Yao nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will be more vigilant."

As the meal was drawing to a close, Fu Yao received a last-minute work call, requiring her to go to the law firm.

The two said goodbye at the restaurant entrance. Fu Yao thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't handle divorce cases, if you need me, I can introduce you to a lawyer who specializes in divorce cases. He's a very powerful figure in the industry."

"Okay, I'll definitely contact you if I need anything."

"Then I'll go first."

"See you later."

Fu Yao turned around and went to the parking lot to get her car.

As soon as her figure disappeared at the parking lot entrance, Yan Zhen, who was still standing there, immediately noticed a thin figure following her into the parking lot.

This person... is Hu Dawei!

Yan Zhen's expression hardened, and he quickly ran towards the parking lot while taking out his phone to call Fu Yao.

As soon as the call connected, Yan Zhen spoke rapidly: "Hu Dawei is following you! He's gone into the parking lot too!"

Fu Yao was clearly taken aback, her voice tinged with tension: "What does he want to do..."

Yan Zhen's mind raced. In her previous life, Fu Yao was hit and killed by Hu Dawei in the street a year later. Now, Hu Dawei has already started stalking her. Could it be that her arrival has triggered a butterfly effect, and without the help of Fu's mother and Aunt Wang, Hu Dawei has become desperate and acted ahead of schedule?

"Don't panic! Do as I say right now. Don't go to the parking space. There are fewer people there, and the space is narrow. It's easy for him to find an opportunity to harm you."

"it is good."

"Then..." Yan Zhen paused here, recalling the thought that had popped into her mind when she saw her own body so similar to Fu Yao's through the floor-to-ceiling window outside the restaurant last time. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to test its feasibility.

"And then what?" Fu Yao asked.

Yan Zhen said, "I remember there's a restroom on the right side of the west exit of the parking lot. Go to the restroom right now, and keep the call going in the meantime."

Although Fu Yao did not know Yan Zhen's intention in asking her to do this, she agreed without hesitation because of her trust in her, and immediately took action.

After giving his instructions, Yan Zhen strode towards the west exit of the parking lot.

Three minutes later, Yan Zhen entered through the west exit, where the restroom was not far away.

From a distance, she could vaguely see a figure lurking in the shadows near the entrance to the women's restroom.

It's Hu Dawei.

But he was clearly hesitant and did not rush into the women's restroom.

Yan Zhen subtly pulled down her hat to cover her face, pretending not to notice him, and walked straight into the restroom.

When she bumped into Fu Yao in the restroom, she was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "I saw him... he brought a baseball bat!"

She had been warned to be careful of this person just an hour earlier, and an hour later she discovered that he was following her.

What terrified her most was that before Yan Zhen told her she was being followed, she had no idea how long Hu Dawei had been tailing her.

Yan Zhen patted her back reassuringly, then put his hat on her head: "It's okay, don't be afraid—take off your coat."

Fu Yao subconsciously did as she was told, until Yan Zhen put on her coat, at which point she realized what was happening: "What are you doing?"

"I'll lure him away and teach him a lesson."

Fu Yao immediately grabbed her arm: "No! It's too dangerous! Let's call the police!"

“Would calling the police be of any use?” Yan Zhen said. “He’s following you, he’s carrying a baseball bat as a weapon, he wants to harm you—we both know all this, but he hasn’t made a move yet, so it doesn’t constitute a crime. If the police come, they’ll just give him a warning and a verbal warning. But if they do that, he’ll expose his whereabouts, and he’ll go from secretly following you to openly tailing you!”
