Miss Shen ran away after finishing her meal, which angered her short-lived uncle to the point of res

Bo Junxing frowned slightly as he looked at the traffic lights at the intersection ahead.

He couldn't understand why a strange woman would visit late at night after Shen Feiwan and Lin Xiaoyan entered the house.

On their wedding night, they should have been alone, but the woman stayed from late at night until one in the morning. She tied her hair up when she entered and let it down when she left. The details of her messy hairstyle made him suspicious.

Even more strangely, the lights in the second bedroom and the master bedroom in the villa turned on one after the other and then turned off one after the other, clearly not the appearance of a newlywed couple in the same room.

These unusual details disturbed Bo Junxing's thoughts. He felt that there must be something fishy about Shen Feiwan's wedding, and that there must be some secret behind it, just like when she married him.

Just as I was pondering this, my phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.

The name "Song Yanzhou" appeared on the screen. The moment Bo Junxing swiped to answer the call, Song Yanzhou's voice immediately rang out.

He unusually didn't even greet him before abruptly asking, "Bo Junxing, where are you now?"

Bo Junxing turned the steering wheel and merged into the main road. Instead of responding directly, he spoke in a deep voice, "I was just looking for you. There's something I need you to investigate."

"No, answer my question first. I contacted you first." Song Yanzhou's tone became more serious. "Where are you right now?"

Bo Junxing continued to give an irrelevant answer: "Why are you asking this?"

On the other end of the phone, Song Yanzhou almost jumped up, his voice filled with urgent anxiety: "My goodness! Answer the question first! Is getting a single truth from you harder than climbing to heaven?!" He paused, then his tone suddenly lowered, "Please don't tell me you're in Beicheng right now!"

Bo Junxing's fingers tightened suddenly on the steering wheel, his brows furrowing slightly: "So what if I'm in Beicheng?"

"Well, you should know I'm in Beicheng right now, right? I'm here for a friend's wedding."

"Hmm," Bo Junxing replied, sparing with his words.

Song Yanzhou continued, "So many people are getting married today."

Bo Junxing simply replied with an "Mm".

Song Yanzhou continued, "What a coincidence—your ex-wife also got married today, did you know that?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, so long that Song Yanzhou thought the signal had been lost, before he heard a very soft "hmm".

This response acted as a fuse, completely igniting Song Yanzhou's anger: "Are you mute? Can you say anything besides 'hmm'?!"

"So what do you want to hear me say?" Bo Junxing's voice was as calm as still water.

"What do I want to hear? You're driving me crazy!" Song Yanzhou took a deep breath, almost gritting his teeth as he said, "So you really were in Beicheng? So the video I saw was real, right?"

Bo Junxing stared at the traffic ahead, his tone calm and utterly indifferent: "I don't know what video you're talking about."

Song Yanzhou growled in exasperation, "It's the video of you getting slapped by your ex-wife at her wedding!"

After he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell over both ends of the phone.

The air seemed to freeze suddenly, with only the sound of cars moving steadily along the road.

After a long silence, Song Yanzhou sighed in exasperation, "Very well, you didn't deny it, so the video is real. I'm truly speechless. I was wondering why you suddenly postponed your overseas trip before the New Year; it turns out you were waiting for this! Bo Junxing, Bo Junxing, have you gone mad? Running off to steal the bride is one thing, and if it had gone well, it would have been a beautiful story. But you, you got slapped and it was recorded on video! What drug did that woman give you? What made you so infatuated? You're really infuriating!"

Song Yanzhou spoke very quickly, his rapid-fire complaints filled with the restlessness of wanting to drag the person out of the phone and beat them up.

Once Song Yanzhou finally caught his breath, Bo Junxing spoke softly, "Is there anything else?"

"What else?" Song Yanzhou was taken aback. "A video? This clip alone is enough to embarrass you from every angle. What else do you want?"

"I'm asking, are you done cursing?"

"Finished cursing? I still want to curse you ten thousand times!" Song Yanzhou snorted irritably, "But now my mouth is dry, I'm too lazy to curse anymore."

“Okay,” Bo Junxing’s voice was devoid of emotion, “Now it’s my turn to speak.”

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening."

“Help me investigate Lin Xiaoyan,” Bo Junxing paused, his words clear, “and Shen Feiwan’s relationship with him, and why they got married.”

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

A few seconds later, Song Yanzhou burst out with an incredulous rant, "Bo, are you stupid? Have you lost your mind? I thought you wanted me to delete the video and do PR, but you want me to investigate this? Bo Junxing, is what you have on your neck a love-struck brain?!"

Bo Junxing said, "Stop talking nonsense. I just want to know why. If you don't investigate, I'll go find someone else."

Song Yanzhou sighed, "You might as well drive me crazy. What are you after? If you could just give me one convincing reason, I'd stay up all night to do it."

Bo Junxing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I want that child."

Song Yanzhou was speechless for a moment, "Can't you have children with someone else?"

“I don’t want any more arranged marriages,” Bo Junxing said in a flat voice. “Whoever can give me a child will not have any entanglements with me afterward.”

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before Song Yanzhou spoke, "This request is a bit difficult. The key is, she wasn't planning on having this child in the first place, and now that she's married, it's even less likely she'll have one for you. Wouldn't that be cheating on her current husband? To be honest, although I didn't mobilize resources to investigate thoroughly, I did do a little research. Her current husband is no pushover; he's a big shot in Beicheng. We're in the business of the 'people,' but they're on the government's payroll; they deal with the higher-ups."

"So that's why Shen Feiwan married him?"

"I do not know then."

"Then go investigate."

Song Yanzhou said helplessly, "No, it's impossible for someone's wife to have your child."

"Investigate." Bo Junxing's tone was firm.

"It's not a matter of whether or not to investigate now..."

"check."

"Are you a broken record?!" Song Yanzhou snapped, "I'm really fed up with you, you old codger! I'll check, I'll check, okay?!"
