My Terrible Life in Those Years

I left the coffee shop feeling dejected, and I could sense that Du Yan was hesitant to look at me.

Things took a completely different turn from what we had envisioned.

After realizing there was nothing more to follow up on, I immediately left to find Lao Liu.

But after searching around the coffee shop, they couldn't find him.

That kid, I told him to keep an eye on him, where did he run off to? He didn't even say hello.

My phone is with Du Yan, and he doesn't have a phone right now either. If we get separated, it will be hard to find him.

Damn it, everything's going wrong. I don't dare go far, afraid of getting separated from Lao Liu.

I had no choice but to find a stone bench next to the coffee shop and sit down, slowly watching the passersby and gradually summarizing the lessons learned from this failure.

Although Lao Liu and I had given Du Yan a lot of warnings and discussed many possibilities, we still underestimated the man's status and feelings in her heart.

In this situation, no matter what she says, she will be misunderstood as wanting to break them up.

Because he couldn't produce any concrete evidence that Du Yan was trying to get rid of him!

Damn, it's confirmed!

Where can I get it? How do I get it?

I sat there feeling suffocated for almost half an hour. Looking inside, I saw that the man had already left, but Du Yan was still sitting in her seat, looking at the seat next to me. I wasn't there, so she assumed I had gone out and was probably waiting for me there, looking very uneasy.

I guess she's afraid I'll say something about her.

Honestly, I'm speechless about this girl. She's so devoted to this. Without concrete evidence, I feel I can't say anything more about this.

Otherwise, it will only have the opposite effect.

I don't want to go in now, because even if I did, I wouldn't know what to say or what there would be to say.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, just as I was getting a little impatient, a head popped out from a corner in the distance and started gesturing at me.

I looked closely and saw that it was indeed Old Liu, the guy who had gone missing.

He rushed over in two strides: "Why are you running away? I told you to keep watch!"

He gave me a mysterious look, then glanced at the coffee shop, and pulled me to a corner where Du Yan couldn't see me.

"Don't make a sound, I'll show you something good, and then I'll tell you something good! Hey, if you don't treat me to chicken hotpot this time, I'm not going back to Pengcheng! I'll just stay here and eat, drink, and sleep for free!"

I was in a bad mood, so I didn't stand on ceremony with him.

"What good stuff can you show me? What good stuff can you tell me? Stop talking nonsense."

Old Liu mysteriously fiddled with the microcontroller in his hand: "Hey, you don't believe me? Let's make a bet. How about today's meals? Not too much, just two chicken hot pots for lunch and dinner!"

I snatched the camera from his hand in a huff. In terms of strength, I could beat three of him without getting tired!

"What did you film? If it's something good, I'll treat you to chicken. If not, you'll have to walk all the way back to Shenzhen!"

"Hey, sit down and take your time. If there's nothing interesting, I'll take your surname!"

Judging from his smug look as he pats his chest, does he really have something to offer?

Open your camera and find the photo you just took.

Read it page by page.

Some of the earlier shots were taken by Du Yan before, so I skipped them.

I immediately scrolled to the first few pictures in the coffee shop.

It started when Zhong Yang's wife spoke.

I was there, but there's nothing to see.

At this moment, that scoundrel Lao Liu started chuckling like a thief.

"The exciting part is about to begin, don't blink! Now, witness a miracle!"

I kicked him angrily, "What kind of nonsense is this?"

Then I saw the next few photos.

Is it that scumbag, and that woman, his wife?

I looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"You just went to follow them?"

Old Liu smiled smugly: "How about it? Just as eye-catching as before?"

No wonder I waited for him for so long before he finally showed up.

Did they actually capture something on him?

I quickly pressed the next page and slowly looked at each page one by one.

It was this couple, in a corner of the square, that Lao Liu, with his keen eye, managed to capture on camera.

The woman then reached out to Zhong Yang, seemingly asking for money again.

In the middle, Zhong Yang didn't give it to her, and the woman kept saying something.

"And then what? Why did it stop?"

"Turn on the video and watch, I recorded it. While they were in the corner, I hid on the other side where they couldn't see me and recorded their conversation."

My heart skipped a beat. Could something I never imagined have really happened inside?

Old Liu looked like he'd won the lottery, and he made no attempt to hide it; it wasn't an act.

He knew what the consequences would be if he lied to me at a time like this; he really would have to walk back to Shenzhen.

My heart rate increased slightly.

Open the recorded videos section; there's a clip showing the ground.

I gave him a disapproving look: "What's the point of filming this junk?"

"Don't rush, listen carefully to the sounds inside!"

I calmed myself down and carefully watched the video and listened to the audio.

"Hey Section Chief Chung, how can someone as senior as you be so stingy? You only gave me a thousand just now? How much of a favor did I do for you?"

Huh? I was shocked.

He glanced at Old Liu and said, "Really?"

"Listen, listen first!"

His wife calls him Section Chief Zhong? That's way too suspicious!

"Hey sis, I just need you to do me a small favor. How about it? Here's a thousand, that's plenty. Any one of your girlfriends could help me with this, okay?"

Zhong Yang was quite dissatisfied, thinking that spending a thousand was too much.

I understand.

That bastard, did he just find anyone to pretend to be his wife?

Was this a deliberate act put on for Du Yan?

"Oh dear, Section Chief Zhong, you've made such a big deal out of this. That girl was so pitiful, so pretty. I felt really bad lying to her. After all, I've helped you sort out such a big thing, can't you reward me a little more? You easily spend tens of thousands on a single card at our foot massage parlor, don't be so stingy!"

I was shocked again. That bastard actually hired a foot masseuse, a foot masseuse of such an old age? To pretend to be his wife? To deceive Du Yan?

My anger flared up instantly.

"Give you a damn reward! I'd rather you go for a foot massage and spend more time with me. Besides, she doesn't have any evidence at all. I knew it! This girl is so honest, lying to her is a piece of cake. I almost believed her neighbor, thinking she really had something!"

"Oh dear, Section Chief Zhong, you'll have to order it a few more times!" The woman's anger immediately subsided when she realized she couldn't gain any advantage and didn't have any evidence in hand.

Finally, with a snap, what sound did that make?

"That jerk spanked her! Then they went their separate ways!"

I opened my mouth wide and cursed inwardly: This bastard, with a beautiful girl like Du Yan, how could he still be interested in an old woman like this?

The flavor is unusually strong!

"How about it? Two chicken hot pot meals, worth it, right?" Old Liu said with a smug smile.

I gritted my teeth: "Worth it!"
