The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

That's right.

Liang Liangwei knew he would come to this conclusion, so she wasn't surprised, but rather astonished by his efficiency.

This guy is quick on his feet, he investigates whenever he wants, and he has a wide network of connections. He even has a friend in a city two cities away who is the director of the hospital Fang Xun mentioned!

She bit her lower lip, hesitating about how to bring it up with him.

What do you think happened?

Yan Bei'an: [I don't know either.]

Logically speaking, you can treat the wound anywhere, and it doesn't have to be a regular hospital. If the wound isn't serious, a licensed specialist clinic can also suture it. But why lie? Just say so.

More importantly, she still hasn't shaken off her doubts—that the wound in the photo was fake.

She could sense his negativity between the lines, so she replied to him in a more tactful way.

Have you met him?

Yan Beian: [Before I asked my friend to check this morning, I went to his school and met with him.]

Liang Liangwei: [Did you ask him? Why didn't he tell you the truth?]

Two minutes later, Yan Beian called directly, and Liang Liangwei answered.

Yan Bei'an's voice was low: "You told me before that his wounds might be fake... that might be true."

Liang Liangwei raised an eyebrow: "How are you so sure? Did you meet him to confirm it? Did he explain it to you?"

Yan Beian: "No, it was my friend who told me. I also showed him the photos. He said that the stitching method in the photos would leave a scar, and professional doctors would not stitch like that."

Liang Liangwei understood. If an expert made a judgment, he had no choice but to believe it.

She joked, "You actually used your connections to ask? When I told you, I was afraid you wouldn't believe me and would think I was trying to sow discord."

Yan Bei'an curled his lips: "I still have this much judgment. There's no benefit for you to lie to me."

He remained clear-headed and wasn't blinded by the so-called romance.

Liang Liangwei: "What I'm about to tell you might test your trust in me."

Yan Bei'an was taken aback: "Is it also related to him?"

Instead of answering, Liang Liangwei asked, "Have you seen him since you met this morning?"

Yan Bei'an: "No."

Liang Liangwei: "Have you been in contact?"

Yan Beian: "Yes, he asked me where I was at night, and I said I was working overtime."

Liang Liangwei: "What specific time?"

Yan Bei'an: "Around 7 o'clock."

This happened not long after she met Fang Xun. He probably contacted Yan Bei'an to test the waters because he was afraid she would say something to Yan Bei'an.

Liang Liangwei: "What else did you say?"

Yan Beian found her question strange, but still answered, "I told him I would be very busy tonight, and he said he was going to celebrate a classmate's birthday, and then we didn't contact each other much."

Liang Liangwei couldn't help but laugh: "Classmate, huh..."

Yan Bei'an: "Is there a problem?"

Liang Liangwei: "I did see him tonight."

Yan Bei'an was somewhat surprised: "You're on Huaying Street at night too?"

Liang Liangwei: "I was working in that area today, and I had dinner with your uncle at the Xien Western Restaurant, which is nearby. That's where I met him."

Yan Bei'an said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.

Liang Liangwei said meaningfully, "The prices on that street are quite high. I remember you said his family wasn't well-off, and he even received poverty subsidies for two semesters before..."

Yan Bei'an: "He said that his friend who is having a birthday today is quite wealthy, and he booked a private room over there to host a party."

Liang Liangwei smiled slightly: "You believed it?"

Yan Bei paused for a moment and said, "He has good interpersonal relationships at school. I've met some of them before, and I know two of them. Their families are quite wealthy, and they have some cooperation with Jinghang Group."

Liang Liangwei: "Is it because of these two people that you trust him?"

Yan Bei'an: "No, they don't know about my relationship with Fang Xun."

His relationship with Fang Xun was rather secretive. They weren't close friends, and he didn't let anyone know about it. Some people had seen him take Fang Xun out, but they just treated him as his little follower.

If he hadn't needed to make a deal with Liang Liangwei to delay his family's arrangements, he wouldn't have chosen to let her know...

Liang Liangwei couldn't see his expression, but on the other end of the phone, Yan Beian sat on the sofa in his room, his eyes lowered, his expression complex and hard to read.

Liang Liangwei: "To be honest, I originally thought you would choose to believe him over me."

“I’ve known you longer than he has, and I know you quite well. You wouldn’t make something up out of nothing,” Yan Bei’an said helplessly. “What exactly are you trying to say? It’s not just that you met him once tonight?”

Liang Liangwei was quite pleased with his evaluation of her, and decided not to hesitate any longer, telling him everything: "When I saw him tonight, he didn't have any wound on his forehead, nor was he wearing any gauze. He was just like before. So if he still has gauze on when you see him next time, you can just tear it off and question him."

Yan Bei'an's eyes flickered, still struggling: "Even...not a single scratch?"

Liang Liangwei: No, there are streetlights outside the Western restaurant, so the lighting is very good.

Yan Bei'an remained silent.

Liang Liangwei: "Your uncle saw it too."

Yan Bei'an pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Actually, that’s not the main point I wanted to tell you. The main point is,” she continued, dropping another bombshell, “that Fang Xun seems to have an intimate relationship with another man.”

Yan Bei'an was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Liang Liangwei recounted what she had seen: Fang Xun and the man intimately embracing and flirting. She added at the end, "The man was even being indecent on his butt, and Fang Xun didn't dodge. It doesn't seem like it's his first time."

Yan Bei'an's brow twitched, finding it hard to imagine the scene: "You...are you telling the truth?"

Liang Liangwei: "There are surveillance cameras over there, you can check them."

Yan Bei'an: "Uncle saw it too?"

Liang Liangwei: "No, I don't think so. When your uncle arrived, I was talking to Fang Xun alone. Those men had already left."

She smiled and said, "He even asked me if I would tell you, and then provocatively asked me whether I would believe him or me, Yan Bei'an, who would you choose to believe?"

Yan Bei'an fell silent. He knew very well that when Fang Xun called him that night, he asked where he was, and he only said that he was at a club on Huaying Street. He said he would pick him up later, and that he didn't need to, as his classmate's family had a car to pick him up.

Then, the other person asked him evasively if he was actually out having fun instead of working overtime. He typed a few times and said he was really busy. Then they asked if his friends hadn't invited him out, like Sister Wei. He said that he had declined invitations from other friends, but Sister Wei hadn't invited him.

Looking back now, it seems like he was subtly trying to find out if Liang Liangwei had talked to him about this.
