He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Han Zhou brought Gu Chile to Zhou Yan's residence, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time.

I called Lawyer Fu directly.

"Ninth Brother, is he not home?"

As soon as the call connected, Han Zhou got straight to the point.

How did you know he wasn't home? Did you go to his house?

"I knocked on the door but no one answered, and I don't know the password."

He had barely finished speaking when footsteps echoed in the hallway.

Han Zhou looked up and saw a middle-aged woman walking over. Seeing them standing at the door, she smiled and asked, "Are you here to see Mr. Zhou?"

Han Zhou didn't speak, but Gu Chile, who was standing to the side, said with a smile, "Yeah, we came to see Brother Yan, but he's not home."

The other person was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Isn't Mr. Zhou home? He even called me to ask me to buy some wine."

As she spoke, she lifted the shopping bag in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Han Zhou frowned: "Why didn't you open the door if you were home?"

"They're probably sleeping. I'll drive."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and entered the password.

With a click, the door opened.

Han Zhou went inside but didn't see anyone in the living room.

The hourly worker nearby reminded her, "She should be in the bedroom; she probably hasn't gotten up yet."

Han Zhou said with some disdain, "It's so late, why aren't you up yet?"

The cleaning lady smiled but didn't say anything.

Gu Chile slowly walked towards the bedroom. When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment, then gently knocked on the door before slowly pushing it open.

The moment the door opened, a thick cloud of bluish smoke rushed out, choking Gu Chile and causing her to cough twice.

He instinctively reached out and covered his mouth and nose, then carefully entered the room.

The smoke filling the room made the vision a little blurry. Gu Chile looked closely and saw Zhou Yan sitting on the floor, leaning against the sofa, with cigarette butts and empty wine glasses scattered around his feet.

Gu Chile frowned as he looked at the empty bottles, wondering to himself, "Just how much alcohol did they drink?"

Just then, Han Zhou also followed him into the bedroom.

Upon seeing the scene inside, he immediately wore a look of disgust, muttering, "Damn it, Zhou Yan, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Yan seemed to hear Han Zhou's voice. He slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the two people at the door through the smoke.

Upon seeing who it was, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's somewhat dazed eyes, Gu Chile's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "If we don't come, you'll drink yourself to death at home!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "How could that be? You all know how much I can drink."

As he spoke, he casually reached for the cigarette case lying to the side, pulled out a cigarette, and skillfully put it in his mouth.

He searched for a lighter in the room, but after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find one.

"Wait, where's my lighter? I distinctly remember leaving it around here."

Zhou Yan muttered to himself as he groped around on the ground.

Han Zhou watched Zhou Yan's actions from the side, shook his head helplessly, then stepped forward and, without saying a word, reached out and snatched the cigarette from Zhou Yan's mouth.

"Alright, stop smoking. Look at the state you're in now!"

Han Zhou said with a frown.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan was not angry at all. Instead, he grinned and showed a carefree attitude.

She said nonchalantly, "What do I look like? Haven't I always been like this?"

After saying that, Zhou Yan began searching for wine to drink again.

However, after he had searched through all the bottles, he realized that he had drunk all the wine.

Zhou Yan shouted angrily at the door, "Aunt Wu, where's the wine I asked you to buy? Bring it to me right now!"

However, before Aunt Wu could reply, Han Zhou interrupted him directly: "What are you taking? Don't drink it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately felt bored, and his previously high spirits plummeted.

He struggled to prop himself up, trying to stand up from the ground, but each time he failed.

Seeing this, Gu Chile hurriedly stepped forward, carefully supported him, and said with concern, "Brother Yan, slow down, don't rush."

Zhou Yan put his hand on Gu Chile's shoulder, a smile on his face, and teased, "Lele is so good, she knows how to care for her brother."

Han Zhou, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He then stepped forward and pulled Zhou Yan away from Gu Chi Le without any politeness, muttering, "Come on, I feel sorry for you too."

As he spoke, he picked Zhou Yan up like a chick and strode towards the bathroom.

Zhou Yan, clearly unaware of the "miserable" situation he was about to face, continued with a grin, "Han Zhou, are you jealous?"

Han Zhou retorted irritably, "Why would I be jealous?"

"Haha, Lele helped me up, and you're jealous? Do you like her?"

These words were like stepping on Han Zhou's tail, causing Han Zhou to instantly become furious.

Han Zhou stopped in his tracks, turned around and glared at Zhou Yan, shouting, "Bullshit! I'm straight, don't talk nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Chile, who was standing outside, felt her heart involuntarily clench.

Straight man?

But what straight man would treat himself like that?

Just now in Han Zhou's office, he clearly felt Han Zhou kiss him.

Was I dreaming?

He originally planned to hold a birthday party to confess his feelings, but Song Zhi had something to do and it got delayed, so the plan was completed and his confession was delayed until now.

He thought that even without a confession, Han Zhou would know his feelings and that he liked him.

But now it seems I was overthinking things.

Just as Gu Chile was lost in thought, Zhou Yan screamed from the bathroom.

Gu Chile snapped out of her daze and quickly headed towards the bathroom.

Han Zhou held a showerhead and sprayed water on Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was so frightened that his mind cleared up a bit, and he immediately cursed, "Are you sick? Why are you washing me with water? You're an animal!"

As he spoke, he even gave Han Zhou the middle finger.

"Are you awake?"

Han Zhou spoke expressionlessly.

Zhou Yan rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.

Seeing this, Han Zhou made a gesture as if to continue showering him with cold water.

Zhou Yan quickly reached out to stop him: "No, I was just peeing, and you suddenly did that, it almost scared me into impotence."

"Are you awake?"

Han Zhou continued what he had just said.

Zhou Yan nodded: "You're awake, you're awake. Get out, I'm going to take a shower."

Han Zhou didn't say anything more and walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as he came out, he sent a message to Fu Lu, telling him about Zhou Yan's situation.

Gu Chile quickly stepped forward, her face full of worry, and asked softly, "Is Brother Yan alright?"
