If Wang Yu had not changed his ways, then Zhou Xi had, and things were different.
From the phone call today, Zhou Xi felt completely different from before.
In the past, his temperament was much like mine.
Taciturn, speaking very little.
Because of his peculiar health, Zhou Xi would basically stay far away from any group activities.
And now, I was still the same.
But he had become somewhat unlike himself.
Especially the remark about not taking old classmates seriously, which was clearly forcing me to attend the gathering.
I thought that before contacting me, Zhou Xi must have already contacted Wang Yu...
While I was secretly pondering if this class reunion hid some kind of conspiracy, my phone suddenly rang again.
Taking it out, I saw it was Yu Shuang calling.
This early in the morning, could something else have gone wrong!? Or... had there been any new developments in Zhang Zifeng and the others' affairs last night?
With this thought, I quickly pressed the answer button.
As soon as the call connected, I heard Yu Shuang on the other end say, "Chen Xiang, are you free today?"
"Yes!"
Although there was no particular friendship between Yu Shuang and me, in the end, we were still in a state of cooperation.
Even though I knew she must have a reason for calling me, I didn't make excuses about being busy. I agreed immediately.
The reason for this was that I wanted to continuously improve and amplify my value to Yu Shuang.
To put it plainly, I was still worried and afraid that Wang Yangming's desire to completely control the Huadu Casino would affect my cooperation with Yu Shuang.
A woman as intelligent as Yu Shuang would definitely not decide to do something that was clearly doomed to fail.
So, helping Yu Shuang now was equivalent to helping myself!
"Here's what we'll do: I'm going out to treat someone to a meal later. Give me the location of your hotel, and I'll come find you in ten minutes. We'll talk when we meet."
"Okay!"
After hanging up and sending my address to Yu Shuang, I quickly got up, dressed, and washed.
About seven or eight minutes later.
Seeing that the time was almost up, and without even having time for breakfast, I went downstairs early to wait for Yu Shuang. kanδん
Lighting a Red Nanjing, I watched the bustling crowd by the roadside, my mind once again wandering back to what Zhou Xi had said...
Before I could get lost in thought, a Lexus with four 6s slowly drove over.
Upon recognizing the person in the driver's seat, I walked directly towards the car as soon as it stopped.
"We'll talk in the car."
After Yu Shuang's words, I directly opened the rear door and got into the car.
After parking and turning off the engine, Yu Shuang glanced at me, who still seemed a bit groggy, and smiled. She then took out a photo from her passenger-side handbag and handed it to me.
Although I was a bit confused, I instinctively reached out and took it.
Opening it... it was a woman's photo.
A woman heavily made up, looking seven parts slutty and three parts alluring, with shoulder-length hair, an oval face, large eyes, and a remarkably ample bosom.
At least a G-cup.
After a brief glance at her chest, I turned my gaze back to the woman's face.
For some reason, the more I looked at the woman in the photo, the more a feeling arose within me.
A sense of familiarity!
However, I couldn't be sure if this feeling of familiarity was accurate.
Returning the photo to Yu Shuang, I directly asked, "Who is this? What do you need me to do?"
Hearing this, Yu Shuang turned her head and lowered her voice, saying to me, "This is a photo I worked very hard to obtain."
"The woman in the photo is Wang Yangming's mistress!"
I didn't show much shock at the news of Wang Yangming having a mistress.
For a lecherous old man like him, it would be a miracle if he could resist seeking pleasure outside!
However, I was a bit unclear about Yu Shuang's intention in telling me this.
Perhaps she wanted me to report Wang Yangming with this photo? Or maybe, she wanted me to find the woman in the photo?
Seeing my look of confusion, Yu Shuang first looked around before continuing, "This woman is not only Wang Yangming's mistress, but she is also involved with Wang Yu!"
Upon hearing this, my expression immediately changed, "She caters to both the young and the old!?"
Yu Shuang nodded slightly and frowned, "Half of Wang Yu's money is spent on this woman!"
"If you can't think of any good ideas, you might try to find a breakthrough by focusing on this woman!"
"Of course! There is an absolute prerequisite here, which is that you must not involve me in this."
"Until you have a sufficiently strong hand, I cannot openly stand behind you!"
"Therefore, I can only provide you with some assistance from the shadows. I hope you can understand this."
"Also, last night happened suddenly, and I was completely unprepared. To completely resolve the situation, I brought everyone in Huadu who could be used.
"And among them are some fence-sitters!"
"Therefore, for the sake of the plan's meticulousness, I suggest you do not show yourself for a while."
"If there's anything, we'll contact each other by phone."
Hearing this, I nodded heavily.
I had to admit, a queen bee is indeed a queen bee! Her mind was as sharp as a needle!
Her methods were watertight! All about the details!
As the saying goes: A thousand-mile dike can collapse due to an ant's nest.
Never underestimate anyone. Even if that person seems insignificant in your eyes, as insignificant as an ant, they could still cause you unexpected and fatal damage!
Thus, after receiving the photo, I got out of the car and returned to the hotel.
After seeing Yu Shuang's car drive away and disappear into the distance, I decisively began to pack my things and then went downstairs to check out.
After finding a different hotel in town to stay in, my mind began to constantly conceive and ponder how to approach the woman in the photo, assuming Wang Yu didn't contact me first...
I even fantasized that with Wang Yu's prideful personality, he would surely take such a "highly visible" woman out to show off!
Was it possible that at the class reunion on Saturday afternoon, Wang Yu... would bring that woman with him?
Time gave me the most accurate answer!
...
Saturday afternoon, two thirty.
Royal KTV.
All of us waited in the private room for over an hour before Wang Yu finally made a late appearance.
As expected, he had brought that woman with him.
Wang Yu, with his buzz cut, standing just over 1.7 meters tall, wearing a thick gold chain around his neck. The moment he appeared, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
However, my focus shifted to the suitcase in Wang Yu's hand and the woman beside him.
What was going on? Was he planning to travel far?
With this thought, under the dim light of the private room, my brow furrowed instantly.
