The wife he married through an arranged marriage is so sweet, Mr. Lu can't control himself.

Shen Yuyao quickly interrupted him:

"That won't do! How can we use such heartless methods! Alright! I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said. You should also give up this idea. I should go back!"

After saying that, she snatched the luxury goods that Zou Yuanhao had bought for her from his hand.

She left quickly.

Afraid of being even a second late, Zou Yuanhao was truly dissuaded by her insincere words.

And she's already gone.

Even if Gu Zhi ultimately chooses to call the police, it has nothing to do with her.

Zou Yuanhao did it all himself.

As Shen Yuyao hurried away, she kept praying in her heart that Zou Yuanhao would do it quickly.

If Shen Yuyao had been a little more forceful and said a few more words, Zou Yuanhao would definitely have listened to her and stopped doing it for fear of upsetting her.

But Shen Yuyao left.

Zou Yuanhao, whose thoughts had not been completely dispelled, suddenly had them growing wildly again.

Staring intently at the KTV across the street, I felt:

"We still have to do it this way!"

"Even if not for the Zou family, we have to do it for the Shen family, for Yuyao!"

"As long as Gu Zhi is Mrs. Lu, neither family can live in peace!"

"And this golden opportunity is right in front of us..."

……

Inside the KTV.

Inside the luxurious private room.

After singing for more than an hour, Jiang Nian saw that the drinks and fruit platters on the table were gone, so she asked for more drinks and fruit platters.

Seeing this, Gu Zhi smiled and said, "I want to eat ice cream. How about a bowl of ice cream?"

"Then I'll have a bowl of ice cream too. What flavor do you want?" Jiang Nian asked.

Gu Zhi: "Fragrant herbs."

Jiang Nian: "I don't eat vanilla, I'll eat strawberries instead."

A short while later, a waiter brought in drinks, a fruit platter, and two bowls of ice cream.

They were placed one by one on the table in front of them.

When the waiter placed the drinks in front of Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian asked cheerfully, "Is this drink freshly squeezed?"

The waiter's hand visibly trembled.

The freshly squeezed beverage almost spilled.

Gu Zhi, who was pausing her singing and curled up on the sofa playing on her phone, caught a glimpse of this and found it strange.

I couldn't help but keep an eye on it.

Pretending not to see it, I continued playing on my phone.

But he kept an eye on the waiter out of the corner of his eye.

"Yes, yes," the waiter hurriedly replied.

His eyes darted away.

After placing everything on the table, the waiter prepared to leave.

As he closed the door, he couldn't resist stealing a glance at the two drinks.

Gu Zhi was already paying attention to the waiter, so she naturally saw him.

I have a better understanding now.

Since the drink has been spiked, we should be wary of other things that may have been spiked as well.

Just as Jiang Nian picked up her spoon, about to eat the strawberry ice cream, the door to the private room closed.

Gu Zhi quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't eat it. The drink was spiked, and this might be spiked too. Just be careful."

"Huh?" Jiang Nian was startled. "It's been spiked?"

Gu Zhi recounted the waiter's flustered and guilty reaction, as well as how he had secretly glanced at the two drinks at the end.

"Then it's highly likely they added him!" Jiang Nian exclaimed angrily. "Isn't Yan Jue's classmate running a respectable establishment? How could we have run into this?!"

Yes, the KTV they frequent is owned by Yan Jue.

"It might not be related to his classmate, but let's get Yan Jue over here first. Let's all stay put and pretend we didn't notice anything."

"Know."

Gu Zhi then called Yan Jue.

Yan Jue was busy working in his office when he saw that it was his aunt calling, so he immediately answered the call.

"Niannian and I are at the KTV your classmate owns. Come over here quietly, someone has secretly spiked our drinks."

"Look who it is that ordered that waiter to do this. They must be watching our private room outside. They should be easy to catch."

Yan Jue was so anxious that he immediately put down his work and drove over at top speed.

Yan Jue entered the KTV directly through the back door.

They did not go directly to the private room where Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian were.

Instead, he went directly to his classmate's office to find his classmate.

His classmates were startled when he suddenly barged in.

Yan Jue was so angry when he saw his classmate leisurely enjoying tea that he wanted to punch him.

He can still trust his classmates.

Moreover, his aunt and Jiang Nian have been to this KTV many times. If his classmate really had any designs on his aunt and Jiang Nian, it would be impossible for him to do so after his aunt became Lu Yanshen's wife.

Yes, his classmate also knows that his aunt is now Mrs. Lu.

Unless his classmate is looking for trouble.

Upon hearing why Yan Jue had come, this classmate was almost scared to death.

If this goes wrong, not only will his KTV have to shut down immediately for rectification, but President Lu won't let him off the hook either!

The classmate quickly and quietly took Yan Jue to the monitoring room.

There are no security cameras in the private rooms.

Only the public areas on each floor are monitored.

But this level of surveillance is sufficient.

There's no need to ask anyone; the surveillance footage from the public area tells us which waiter delivered the drinks to Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian's private room.

Through surveillance footage, they also learned who the waiter had been in contact with before serving the drinks.

And that's how Zou Yuanhao came to be seen on the surveillance footage.

Moreover, Zou Yuanhao hadn't left the KTV at all. He was with a strange man dressed in flashy clothes, who was also watching Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian's private room from a corner not far away.

The waiter even winked at Zou Yuanhao, as if to tell him not to show his face too often and get seen.

Yan Jue immediately called the police.

After reporting the incident to the police, he called Gu Zhi.

"Auntie, it's Zou Yuanhao!"

"There was another man next to him!"

"The police have already been called!"

Gu Zhi: "Understood. If they try to run away before the police arrive, you should catch them first."

Yan Jue: "Hmm!"

Gu Zhigang had just hung up the phone with Yan Jue when she realized her phone was dead, so she reached for her bag.

I want to take the charging cable out of my bag to charge my phone.

Jiang Nian exclaimed angrily, "So it was him! What is he trying to do?!"

Gu Zhi laughed and said, "You've been dragged into this because of me. He's definitely after me."

Jiang Nian immediately retorted, "Why are you saying all this? If you're going to put it that way, then I was the one who invited you out to sing. If I hadn't invited you, none of this would have happened, right?"

Gu Zhi laughed and said, "We'll be best friends for life!"

Jiang Nian immediately raised her chin: "Of course! I'll fight anyone who tries to stop us!"

Gu Zhi laughed as she rummaged through her bag.

Realizing he had forgotten his charging cable, he asked Jiang Nian, "Did you bring a charging cable? Could you charge my phone?"

"no."

"Where's the power bank?"

"No, not at all."

"Then I'll just have to wait and ask the karaoke bar if they have a charging cable for me to charge my phone."

Outside the private room, the waiter waited for a while, but there was no sound of Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian singing coming from inside.

Only the speakers were constantly emitting sound.

Thinking that a large dose of sleeping pills had been put in the drinks, Gu Zhi and Jiang Nian should have fallen asleep by now.

The waiter then waved to Zou Yuanhao.
