Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 206 The Woman Who Self-Destructed

Jin Shaoqing turned her head slightly and saw the figure of the lecherous Director Chen, but something seemed off about his figure. He was actually holding the girl in his arms and wrapping the swaying girl in his coat.

"Who is it?! I can't see at all!"

Even if she were braver today, she wouldn't dare to rush over and grab Chen Shijun's arms; she still had some fear of this despicable director.

Seeing that the two had already come out the door together, Shaoqing didn't care about anything else at this point. She quickly paid the bill and strode after them, casually wrapping her face with a scarf. She saw the two of them walking towards the parking lot.

"From now on, just call me oppa. Eunbi has always called me Director Chen, which feels quite distant!"

With his arm around the woman's neck, Chen Shijun watched as Consort Eun nodded shyly, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. It was true that a little kindness was enough to make her feel respected and repay him tenfold.

"Get in the car. Things could get complicated if we stay out here. It's better to go home."

Chen Shijun actually opened the car door for her, which made Eun-bi feel even sweeter. She tiptoed and kissed the man on the cheek, but in her haste, she forgot that she was wearing a mask and was immediately embarrassed.

"Hahaha! Don't rush, don't rush, tonight is still long, Consort Eun can't be impatient."

Chen Shijun was still teasing the seemingly aloof captain, who was indeed completely under his control. He enjoyed this feeling and of course wouldn't mistreat her.

"Eun-bi!"

A sharp shout rang out, startling Captain Eunbi, who was lost in her sweet romance. Then, seeing a tall woman approaching quickly in the distance, she was terrified out of her wits.

"This is terrible!"

Consort En thought it was Zhang Yuanying who had come over, as their figures were somewhat similar. Although the voice didn't sound the same, in her panic, she didn't care about the voice and immediately tried to hide in the carriage.

However, her long legs were incredibly fast, and she darted between the two in just a few steps. Chen Shijun's face darkened. He had clearly told Consort En to be careful, so why was she causing him trouble?
But this person was extremely rude. He actually pulled down Consort Eun's mask. Seeing the woman's astonished look, Chen Shijun became even angrier.

The tall woman froze instantly, her swaying motion looking very ominous. The face wasn't one of her own, yet it looked strangely familiar.

It's not Hwang Eunbi's cute baby face, nor Jung Eunbi's signature doe eyes. It's a more mature, more charming, and somewhat languid older sister-like face. This is Kwon Eunbi from IZ*ONE!

It felt like being struck by lightning; I stood there, completely stunned, my mind blank. All my sadness, suspicion, and anger at the members being deceived crumbled, leaving only disbelief at the absurdity of the world and immense fear of having stumbled upon this.

"It's all over! Everything's ruined now!"

Having cleared the members of suspicion, Captain Shaoqing was far from happy. As all the clues turned and pointed to another target, she knew all too well that her crisis had only just begun.

Chen Shijun grabbed her arm, feeling a sense of crisis about this uninvited guest. Eun-bi looked confused, as if she didn't recognize him, but then he called her name out of the blue.

At that position, half-hidden in Chen Shijun's arms, not to mention outsiders, even her own mother probably wouldn't recognize her as her daughter, yet he actually called her name.

Reflexively, she pulled down the other person's mask, and a pretty face in front of her made Eunbi pause for a moment. It was a very beautiful woman, and she looked very familiar. She quickly remembered that this was the leader of GFRIEND.

"You are...you are Jin Shaoqing?"

As a fellow leader of a top-tier girl group, Eunbi recognized this woman, though not intimately, but she knew she was from Source Music. She couldn't help but look up at Chen Shijun with a suspicious gaze. Why had he suddenly barged in? Was it because of jealousy? Thinking about it that way, it seemed to make sense.

If Chen Shijun can lay a hand on an outsider like himself, wouldn't dealing with someone right next door be a piece of cake? Even if it's her initiative, and Quan Enfei can take the initiative, why can't Jin Shaoqing?

In an instant, the scenario of someone coming to catch their lover in adultery out of love turned to hate flashed through Consort Eun's mind, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Chen Shijun changed from pleading for help to "You decide what to do."

"Jin Shaoqing? What are you doing here? Why are you being so rude?"

Upon seeing that it was his company's idol, Chen Shijun immediately went on alert. He thought he had seen this guy in the parking lot earlier that evening. Why would he have crossed two districts to run into him here?

Suddenly, the hand gripping the woman's arm tightened, causing Jin Shaoqing some pain. However, looking at the scrutinizing gaze, she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

"Let's get in the car first and talk inside."

Although he said he wanted to discuss it, his actions showed no intention of doing so. He let Consort Eun get into the car first, and then shoved Kim So-jung into the car without saying a word before bending down and getting in himself.

The back seat was spacious, but it was still quite cramped for three people. Shaoqing rubbed her wrist; this guy really had no mercy for women.

Little did she know how vigilant Chen Shijun was. He had already concluded that this woman was following him, but he wondered what her purpose was and who was directing her.

With a bang, the car door slammed shut, startling Jin Shaoqing. Quan Enfei hesitated for a moment, realizing that things weren't as simple as she had thought, and could only huddle uneasily to one side.

Chen Shijun and Enfei squeezed the tall captain in the middle, giving her no room to escape. Their tall figures blocked the one-way window, making her feel an invisible sense of oppression.

"Tonight's encounter couldn't have been a coincidence, could it? When did you follow me here? You've been with me in two districts. What's your purpose?"

It's not that Chen Shijun is suspicious, but this behavior is too abnormal. It also shows that he couldn't shake off this little tail even after driving at high speed through two districts. He even suspects that someone may have put something in his car.

Even through the reflective lenses, one could feel the man's sharp, piercing gaze. In the dim light, his face was frighteningly pale. He wanted to explain his actions, but found himself at a loss for words.

"I want to hear the truth, Jin Shaoqing. You'd better think carefully before you answer me. My patience is very limited."

Just as the woman was about to speak, Chen Shijun immediately interrupted her with forceful language, so as not to give her any room to fabricate stories.

"I was just passing by and mistook you for someone else. Good evening, Director Chen."

The woman forced a smile and greeted Chen Shijun, but on her way from Souric Music to this secluded restaurant, she happened to pass by the parking lot and ran into Eunbi, who was bundled up tightly. No matter how she tried to explain, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Who sent you? Do you think I'm a fool? Ms. Jin Shaoqing!"

Chen Shijun's mind was racing, trying to figure out who was doing this and why this woman had rushed up to self-destruct. All of this was hard for him to understand.

Maybe it's Min Hee-jin? That's possible. Or perhaps it's So Sung-jin? That's not impossible either. But what's the purpose of following me? Is it to find some dirt on me?

That's quite possible, but it would be great to hire a private investigator if you have the money. However, it's hard to explain why this woman would expose herself right away.
