Min Er wiped her hands on her clothes, preparing to open the rear door and get in.
Ke Teng's cold voice drifted over.
"I'm not your chauffeur. Come to the front."
The two sat side-by-side in the car.
Before they had even fastened their seatbelts, Ke Teng floored the accelerator and sped off.
The car was going so fast, yet he could still talk on the phone while driving.
"The large bridge in front of Fucheng Airport, all surveillance within ten kilometers, you have one hour to deal with it."
Remove all surveillance along the route? Did this person have such great capabilities?
Who exactly was this person?
Why did he need to deal with the surveillance?
Did he know what she had just done? Why didn't he expose her, but instead help her?
The more expressionless and calm he appeared, the more her heart pounded uncontrollably.
"Who are you? How do you know me? How do you know what I've done?"
"What did that call mean? What do you want to do?"
Ke Teng looked straight ahead, paused for a few seconds, then turned his head to glance at her.
She was much prettier than in photos, and also more mature than he had imagined.
He had expected to have to persuade her quite a bit beforehand, but this way was actually quite good.
"Who do you want me to be?"
Min Er had left Fucheng when she was very young. Although her nationality was Chinese, in this country, besides her mother, she only knew Zhan Bei Jue.
Given the serious incident, it was impossible to say she wouldn't have thought of Zhan Bei Jue first.
But she knew that was just a fantasy.
Zhan Bei Jue didn't belong to her, couldn't be summoned at any time, and certainly couldn't accompany her in doing bad things.
But at this moment, the fantasy didn't seem so dreamlike anymore.
This person seemed to possess a superpower that could cover the sky with one hand. If it wasn't Zhan Bei Jue who sent him, who else could it be?
"Did Mr. Zhan send you?"
"Mr. Zhan?" Ke Teng gave a sarcastic laugh.
"I knew you'd say that."
Wasn't it?
Min Er was confused by him.
"Can't you just speak properly and say everything clearly at once? What exactly do you mean?"
"It means nothing. I just genuinely want to help you."
"Miss Shen, talking too much while driving distracts me. You don't want us both to die tragically, do you? Please, come to my place. I'll tell you everything later."
The streets were very sparse at this hour, and Ke Teng drove very fast. They soon arrived at Min Er's home.
Upon entering the living room, the entire house was filled with the faint smell of water from recent cleaning.
Ke Teng couldn't help but frown, fanning the air in front of his nose a few times.
"You have quite strong vigilance, knowing to clean up first. But this smell is too pungent. Go, open the windows to air the place out."
Could it be that he had installed surveillance in her home and seen her every move clearly?
How could he even say something like "strong vigilance"?
Since things had come to this point, and she couldn't hide it anyway, Min Er stopped wasting words.
She walked over and opened the window.
Ke Teng looked around. "Which room does your mother live in?"
"..." Min Er pointed it out to him.
"Is your house soundproof?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"Something very important. Besides you and me, no one else should hear it."
Min Er gritted her teeth and led him to her room.
"Then you can come in here."
For some reason, late at night, with a man and a woman alone, she wasn't afraid of him having ill intentions towards her at all.
Subconsciously, she felt that this man was unusual, his purpose for coming was unusual, and he wasn't after her meager beauty.
The door closed, Ke Teng opened her room window, stuck his head out, and took two deep breaths.
"Zhan Bei Jue is quite generous. The neighborhood he bought for you is nice."
"So, can you explain everything clearly now?"
So impatient.
He turned back. "Shen Min Er, you're 20 years old this year, right?"
Min Er was being driven crazy by him. She just wanted to know what his purpose was.
Frustrated, she blurted out, "Yes!"
"20 years old by international reckoning or by Chinese age?"
"You've already investigated my home and my affairs, and you still don't know if it's international reckoning or Chinese age? Is there any need to beat around the bush?"
Indeed, there was no need.
Seeing her getting anxious, Ke Teng said leisurely.
"Alright, since you're so eager to know who I am, I won't waste any more time. Let me introduce myself, my name is Ke Teng."
Min Er didn't even need to think; this name was completely unfamiliar to her. They couldn't possibly have any connection.
"I'm listening, please say it all at once."
"Your personality is quite interesting."
He felt she was a bit like Jiang Nan Fang.
"Tell me the truth, do you like Zhan Bei Jue?"
"You..."
"Shen Min Er, I just witnessed everything you did with my own eyes, and I have evidence in hand. If you don't want the whole world to know, then cooperate with me obediently."
"Answer whatever I ask, and don't make me angry, okay?"
Min Er was immediately threatened by him.
Despite feeling very uneasy and impatient, she suppressed her temper.
"Yes. I like him. But he's already married. He treats me like a sister, you should know all this."
"Is that what he told you? Did you believe it? Did you feel content hearing that?"
Min Er really wanted to ask him: What does it have to do with you?
But she held back.
"What if I'm not content? The fact is he's married, I can't just shamelessly cling to him, can I?"
"You're a person with very sound values. But don't you think this is a bit too pitiful?"
Min Er: "..."
"You met him when he was single, you gave him everything when he was single, and when you developed feelings for him and wanted to rely on him, he told you he was married."
"He is so tall, so handsome, so respected, so radiant."
"Once, he was someone within your reach, but now he has nothing to do with you. Don't you feel you've been toyed with?"
The same event, different people have different perspectives.
Perhaps it was her simple mind, Min Er would feel resentful, would be lost, but she hadn't thought of it this way.
"He had amnesia at the time. He didn't deliberately lie to me. And what am I? What's the point of toying with a little me?"
Ke Teng shook his head.
"Miss Shen, you're used to being bullied and always consider things with a submissive mindset. I don't like that."
"Regardless of the reason, the result is that you've been toyed with, isn't that a fact?"
"You're here lamenting and worrying about him. He's feasting and enjoying family happiness every night far away. Do you dare tell me this is what you want?"
At this point, Min Er finally understood.
He kept mentioning Zhan Bei Jue, and every word he said was leading her towards dangerous thoughts. He was Zhan Bei Jue's enemy!
"If you have any grievances with Zhan Bei Jue and want to retaliate against him through me, you're probably thinking too much."
"Not to mention that I don't mean anything to him, and you can't retaliate against him. Even if I could, I wouldn't do anything to hurt him."
"I won't be threatened by you. Expose me anytime you want. I've lived enough, do as you please."
