Yan Beian got up very early today, which was unusual for him. He left home at around 8 o'clock.

Yan Zhixu drove Liang Liangwei to the place where she had parked her car the night before, which was only about a hundred meters away from the Xien Western Restaurant.

Liang Liangwei got out of the Bentayga, waved to the man in the driver's seat, closed the door, and carried her makeup case from the back seat to her own car.

Fasten her seatbelt, place her hands on the steering wheel, and glance at the rearview mirror. The Bentayga was still parked in the same spot behind her.

The windshield was shimmering with a dark reflection, obscuring the view inside. She could only vaguely make out a man's figure sitting casually, and she wondered if he was looking in her direction.

She picked up her phone and sent the man a message: "Are you waiting for me to leave first?"

After sending the message, she looked at the Bentayga again and soon saw the man looking down at his phone.

A moment later she received a reply: 【Mm.】

She smiled and replied: 【As you wish~】

She put down her phone, turned the steering wheel, and drove away.

After disappearing into the traffic, she glanced back and saw that the black Bentayga had indeed started up and merged into the rows behind her.

After two traffic lights, the two cars started traveling in opposite directions, one on the left and one on the right.

Not long after their car left the Western restaurant, a silver sports car emerged from the traffic and stopped where Liang Liangwei had just parked.

Yan Bei'an got out of the car.

He strolled to the entrance of Sheen Restaurant and stopped. He had been to this restaurant many times before and was quite familiar with the layout outside. He quickly confirmed the location of the photo Fang Xun had sent him last night.

He then looked up and searched around, and found a camera not far away, pointing in his direction.

After another careful search, they quickly found two more working cameras.

He took out his phone, ready to use his connections to access the surveillance footage.

As soon as I unlocked the screen, I received a message on WeChat. When I opened it, it was a message from Fang Xun.

Why didn't you reply to my messages last night? What were you doing?

He replied expressionlessly: "I went to bed early last night and didn't see the message."

Then I exited WeChat, found a phone number, and made a call.

After making the call, he saw a new message on WeChat.

Fang Xun: [Oh, I want to have hot pot tonight, can you come eat with me?]

Yan Bei'an pressed his tongue against his cheek and typed rapidly with one hand: "I'll still be very busy today, so I can't give you an answer right now. I'll see how things go later."

Fang Xun, perhaps sensing his impatience, replied obediently and considerately: "Okay, but don't overwork yourself. You still need to rest when you need to."

Yan Bei'an initially didn't want to reply, but after hesitating for a moment, he replied with a single word: "Mm."

Back in the car, he thought for a moment, then took out his phone again, opened the browser, and entered the name of the Jincheng residential area that Fang Xun had given him.

The search result was "No results found for this neighborhood".

However, some other cities with the same name as the residential area popped up below, as well as a county under the jurisdiction of Tianjin with the same name as that residential area. Just like my friend Lao Yuan said, there is no residential area with that name near the Third People's Hospital.

He put down his phone and pinched the bridge of his nose.

It took a while before they drove the car away.

He arrived at the company quickly and went into his office.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be in a good mood, his assistant followed him in and asked if he wanted coffee.

He sat down: "Yes, make it strong for me."

The assistant quickly brought over a strong coffee and asked, "Mr. Yan, did you not sleep well last night?"

Yan Bei'an paused while stirring his coffee, then looked up and asked, "You can even tell that?"

Although he went to bed early and got up early, he didn't sleep soundly at night and was always in a half-awake state. He only got up when he got tired of lying down near morning.

Assistant: "Because you came early today."

Yan Bei'an's eye twitched: "...Is it so strange that I arrived early?"

The assistant smiled and said, "And your dark circles."

Yan Bei'an subconsciously touched the area around his eyes.

Assistant: "Ms. Yan, you can't feel dark circles under your eyes, you can only look in the mirror. Shall I borrow one from a female colleague for you?"

Yan Bei'an put down his hand and took a sip of coffee: "No need."

The assistant joked, "President Yan is dedicated to her work and devotes herself wholeheartedly to the company. She is an idol for us junior employees to learn from..."

Yan Bei'an rolled her eyes at him: "Alright, being sweet-talking won't get you a raise. Get out of here and do your job!"

The assistant replied with a smile, "Okay, Ms. Yan, just let me know if you need anything."

After his assistant left, Yan Beian leaned back in his chair, slowly sipping his coffee, his eyes thoughtful.

His phone rang on the table. He put down his coffee and picked it up to look at it.

Someone sent him a few videos.

[This is the surveillance footage you requested, the content recorded at that time. Please check if it's what you want.]

Yan Beian opened the first video.

The camera was pointed at the vehicles on the road, but the spot he wanted to look at was the flowerbed by the street, where there were indeed several men, some sitting and some standing, dressed in a roguish style, with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Two of them, despite being in a location where passersby could walk by at any moment, seemed completely oblivious to others' gazes, embracing each other intimately as if no one else was around.

He stared intently as he zoomed in on the video with two fingers, easily recognizing the shorter figure as Fang Xun.

The person who was hugging him looked quite old, and with a thuggish appearance, he was probably involved in the underworld.

How did Fang Xun end up with these people?

Moreover, judging from their level of intimacy, they probably haven't just started dating.

He closed the video and opened the second one. This time the camera was on the other side, which clearly captured the faces of several men, and he also saw Fang Xun's face.

Fang Xun smiled, showing no resistance to being hugged by the man, and even actively touching his body and face with her hands.

Yan Bei'an's face turned somewhat ugly, because he remembered that Fang Xun had also touched him with this hand.

Suddenly, the man's hand behind Fang Xun's back seemed to make a movement, and Fang Xun immediately covered his back with both hands...

Yan Bei'an paused, recalling what Liang Liangwei had told him on the phone: "That man was being indecent on his butt, and Fang Xun didn't dodge; it doesn't seem like it's his first time."

He suddenly felt a bit wicked.

Unable to hold it in any longer, the coffee he had just swallowed surged back up, and he quickly threw down his phone, bent over, and vomited a few times in the trash can.

He coughed several more times, his eyes red as he pulled out a tissue to wipe them.

Once he caught his breath, he disgustedly exited the video.

I took a deep breath before opening the third video.

This time, it's a scene of Fang Xun and Liang Liangwei facing off. The two are standing at the entrance of Xien Western Restaurant, half a meter apart. The camera is a bit far away, so their expressions are not clear.

Soon after, Yan Zhixu appeared in the frame, standing next to Liang Liangwei.

A moment later, he and Liang Liangwei entered the restaurant hand in hand, while Fang Xun stayed where he was and took out his phone to take a picture of their backs.

It must be the photo I sent him.

The cause and effect are now clear.

Yan Beian turned off the video and sat in silence for a long time.
