Jiang Mian thinks that Gong Yan's biggest worry is that Gong Yan's love brain has reverted back to normal.

She said with a hint of helplessness, "Can't you wish me something better?"

"I can't help it, you have too many criminal records."

Just by listening to Gong Yan's voice, Jiang Mian could imagine that she must be pouting right now.

However, after saying that, Gong Yan said again a moment later, "Why are you suddenly asking about him again? Is it... that you were affected by the recent news in Luo City?"

Gong Yan is in Luocheng, and she has naturally been following a lot of news about Lu Bozhou lately.

She knew the inside story, and as she watched things unfold, just as Lu Bozhou had predicted, she didn't know what to say.

But instinctively, I didn't want Jiang Mian to get involved in this situation.

Gong Yan felt that Lu Bozhou probably thought the same way as her.

Recently, Gong Yan attended a banquet accompanying Jiang Yu, where she ran into Lu Bozhou.

Gong Yan almost didn't recognize him. Although his appearance hadn't changed much, he was still the same Lu Bozhou.

However, their temperaments were completely different; the former was thin and gloomy, making one feel as if they had returned to the time when Jiang Mian had just passed away.

Gong Yan and Jiang Yu met him briefly, but didn't exchange many words.

Or rather, there was absolutely no communication.

Lu Bozhou didn't even say a word to them as Xu Yawei linked arms with him and passed by Gong Yan and Jiang Yu.

Lu Bozhou merely glanced at them indifferently, without uttering a single word.

Rumors spread like wildfire at that banquet.

What left Gong Yan speechless was that the rumor was exactly the same as what Lu Bozhou had told her back then.

This man didn't even bother to change the words.

'Lu Bozhou loved his first love, his "white moonlight," to death. For this true love, his first love, he abandoned his wife and children the moment she returned to the country.'

These messages spread quickly, and while they shouldn't be very credible, some old rumors were also brought up again.

It is said that both Lu Bozhou's deceased ex-wife and the wife he later found were actually similar to Wanwan, and the real one was this white moonlight.

The news seemed quite credible and quickly spread like wildfire throughout Los Angeles.

Moreover, Lu Bozhou then delegated many tasks to Xu Yawei, making her responsible for a great deal of work.

It's already a situation where a monarch no longer holds morning court.

As soon as these messages spread, and this momentum began, both Gong Yan and Jiang Yu knew that Lu Bozhou had made his move.

They had expected Lu Bozhou to start his own project, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

“What could possibly trigger me?” Jiang Mian whispered. “Although I don’t have a romantic mindset, I don’t think Lu Bozhou is the kind of person who would develop a romantic mindset either, so it seems…”

Jiang Mian frowned. "His recent actions seem rather unusual."

A person who has no concept of love suddenly becomes so crazy; anyone can tell that something is definitely amiss.

Moreover, although Jiang Mian did not intend to accept it, she knew more or less that Lu Bozhou must have his own reasons for these things.

"I don't know what he's trying to do, but his actions are too obvious, and his intentions are too clear. If he really wants to do something..." Jiang Mian frowned.

That uneasy feeling, that sense of unease, gradually resurfaced in my mind. "That would be far too reckless."

Gong Yan paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry about your ex-husband. Just take care of yourself and the child. Lu Bozhou is a seasoned veteran in all aspects of life."

The implication is clear: even if Lu Bozhou seems careless, it might be intentional on his part.

That's how seasoned veterans are; even if they're incompetent, you'll still feel like they're plotting something.

Gong Yan knew this, and given Jiang Mian's understanding of Lu Bozhou, it was impossible for her not to know it either.

The problem is that Jiang Mian feels vaguely uneasy precisely because she knows this.

She didn't know what Lu Bozhou was trying to do, but his actions now clearly had a deeper meaning.

But she didn't know what his purpose was.

“If you don’t know, of course I won’t know either,” Gong Yan said. “Anyway, don’t worry. The reason I sent you to Jiangcheng was to keep you away from all the troubles in Luocheng. Don’t get yourself into this mess again.”

Even after ending the call with Gong Yan, Jiang Mian couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

Jiang Mian sat on the sofa, looking at the familiar phone number and name on her phone screen—Lu Bozhou.

She didn't move for a long time, and her expression didn't change at all.

She still had the number saved, but she had actually already blacklisted it.

Jiang Mian didn't know how long she had been sitting there; her phone screen had turned off several times.

She finally moved her finger and removed the number from the blacklist.

Then I pressed the dial button.

After a very short wait, an electronic female voice came from the other end.

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

Jiang Mian listened to the electronic female voice on the other end, paused for two seconds, and then suddenly laughed.

People shouldn't take themselves too seriously.

He's Lu Bozhou. They're already divorced, and it was a direct lawsuit with a court judgment. He even took the child. Regardless of whether Lu Bozhou still has feelings for her or whether he has some real difficulties, he's still a good person.

She's already blocked him, so why does she think Lu Bozhou won't block her too?

"Never mind..." Jiang Mian sighed softly and put away her phone.

Life went on as usual.

When people feel uneasy, they tend to seek out information.

But Jiang Mian didn't need to make any special inquiries; she had a talkative best friend who would complain to her every day.

Zhan Meng wasn't as thoughtful or cautious as Gong Yan. Originally, Gong Yan didn't want to tell Jiang Mian the news, but Zhan Meng blurted it all out.

This includes, but is not limited to, sending messages and making phone calls; sometimes she even sends videos!

Jiang Mian stared blankly at Zhan Meng, who seemed rather furtive on the screen, and asked, "Where...where are you?"

Although that's what I asked, the scene on the screen, where Zhan Meng was, looked incredibly familiar.

Zhan Meng's voice was also furtive, "I'm deep in enemy territory!"

Jiang Mian: "...Take it easy, Dingsheng's security isn't so easy to talk to."

As soon as Jiang Mian finished speaking, a tall and slender figure appeared on the screen, near Zhan Meng's side.

Jiang Mian's gaze paused briefly.

Just then, the expressionless face of the man on the screen turned towards Zhan Meng's direction.

Despite the distance, they shouldn't have been able to see each other, but Jiang Mian had a strange feeling that her eyes had met Lu Bozhou's.
