Su Yao told Pei Yan and Officer Hu about the situation. Both of them looked puzzled. Why was it only in Su Yao's fan group that such drug sales were promoted? How could the culprit be so blatant? Weren't they afraid of being reported? This didn't match the sly and cautious nature of drug dealers at all.
However, since they were using a distribution channel already known to the police, it was likely the work of the same group. If they could catch this person, the case might make some progress.
The next day, the officers staking out on Dawang Road found that although it was an ordinary express delivery, what was delivered was not ordinary milk powder but spiked Alaka. The police immediately took action, monitoring Su Yao's entire fan group and the No. 17 mailbox.
Su Yao felt a bit sorry for her fans. Their every word and deed in the group were being watched by the police. Fortunately, they didn't know, or they wouldn't have been so explicit when boasting about Yaoyao's beauty.
In Chu Chao's office.
"Brother Chu, we've been sued by Pei Yan. He's found evidence of my connection with the public - relations company. Yuyan Entertainment just received the court notice. The trial is on July 15th," Wu Tian said nervously. He had messed up last time, and now Pei Yan had outmaneuvered them again. It was a complete failure.
"I've taken you under my wing for so many years, and you can't even handle this properly. From now on, stay out of this matter. Clean yourself up and go back to the Chu family," Chu Chao said angrily. All he wanted was Su Yao, but Pei Yan was such a nuisance, ruining his plans time and time again. "Moreover, the police are closing in on Dazhong. We can't save him. Abandon him," Chu Chao said coldly.
"Yes, I'll take care of it," Wu Tian said. He couldn't wait to clear himself. Chu Chao's words were like a reprieve.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Chao picked up his mobile phone and dialed Miao Yue's number.
"Hey, is your leg better?" Chu Chao asked indifferently, his eyes fixed on Su Yao's autographed photo on the corner of his desk.
"Yes, I can walk now," Miao Yue replied enthusiastically, like a woman meeting her benefactor. She was very satisfied with the promise Chu Chao had fulfilled for her last time.
"Good. This time, you go seduce Pei Yan and get pregnant with his child," Chu Chao said. He was a bit uneasy about the growing affection between Pei Yan and Su Yao. Since he couldn't deal with Su Yao for now, dealing with Pei Yan first was also an option.
"I can't do this," Miao Yue said dejectedly. In the years of their marriage, Pei Yan had never touched her. So, there was no question of having a child, not even sharing a bed.
"Find a way," Chu Chao said emotionlessly. "There will be rewards for you if you succeed. If you need help, I have some useful things here."
"Useful things? Oh, I want them," Miao Yue, as an adult, immediately understood what he meant.
Pei Yan was sorting out the clues he had obtained with Wang Luo when he suddenly received a call from Miao Yue.
"Pei Yan, my leg is better. After all that happened, I've figured things out. I'll sign the papers today," Miao Yue said sincerely, without a hint of falsehood.
"Okay, tonight, on the second floor of Yalou," Pei Yan said as he hung up the phone. He was skeptical about Miao Yue's sudden change.
"Are you saying that the deceased is Dazhong?" Pei Yan asked Wang Luo, holding a photo of a car - accident scene.
"Yes, I'm sure. I've been following him for weeks and basically had the evidence. But this morning, he suddenly drove drunk and crashed into a bridge pier. He's dead," Wang Luo said angrily. All his efforts of following Dazhong for weeks had gone to waste.
"Take these to Officer Hu and ask him to check the DNA to confirm the identity of the deceased. Then, go to the mailbox in front of No. 17 Dawang Road and put this inside," Pei Yan said, handing a packet to Wang Luo.
Just as Wang Luo was about to leave, Pei Yan said, "Wang Luo, this is a very dangerous task. Be careful."
"Don't worry, boss," Wang Luo said, waving his hand and leaving casually.
At night, the city lights were just coming on, and there were still traces of the sunset in the sky. In City C in June, it was extremely muggy. Cicadas were chirping non - stop on the roadside trees, and pedestrians were hurrying home, sweating profusely.
Pei Yan was looking at the pedestrians downstairs with the documents in hand. He picked up the black coffee in front of him, added milk, and stirred it casually.
"Pei Yan, I'm here," Miao Yue said as she opened the door of the private room and walked in. Today, Miao Yue was extremely beautiful. Her skin was as smooth as coagulated fat, and her delicate makeup was comparable to that of a celebrity. Seeing that she was wearing the jade necklace his mother had given her, Pei Yan thought of the bracelet at Su Yao's place and decided to take it back and give it to Su Yao today.
"Pei Yan, I've been wrong these years. I didn't take good care of you. I made you give up your dream and become a lawyer. If it weren't for me, you might have achieved great success by now. It's all my fault," Miao Yue said, her eyes reddening.
"I didn't fulfill my responsibility as a husband. I couldn't give you happiness," Pei Yan said, still stirring his coffee.
Just as they were apologizing for their own negligence, the waiter brought a glass of iced passion - fruit juice. Miao Yue said she had ordered it when she came.
Miao Yue got up to take the passion - fruit juice, fished out the ice cubes, and put them into Pei Yan's coffee. She used to give Pei Yan the drinks she didn't want to drink, and Pei Yan never complained.
Miao Yue said a lot more words of apology. It wasn't until her passion - fruit juice was finished and Pei Yan had drunk most of his coffee that she reluctantly took out a pen and said she was going to sign.
Suddenly, Pei Yan felt a rush of heat all over his body, and a burning sensation spread below. Looking at Miao Yue, he saw a look of surprise on her face. She asked, "Pei Yan, what's wrong with you? You don't look right."
At this moment, Pei Yan's mind was full of Su Yao - Su Yao's face, Su Yao's body, and Su Yao's soft hands.
Pei Yan wanted to go to Su Yao's side immediately.
"I'm not feeling well. I have to leave right away. Sign the agreement and mail it to me. I'm leaving," Pei Yan said, trying to endure the discomfort and getting up to leave.
"Don't leave," Miao Yue said, hugging him and throwing herself at him.
Pei Yan felt a wave of unbearable springtime desire.
An hour ago, at Su Yao's place.
"Hey, Sun Yang, what's up?" Su Yao answered the phone while still discussing the studio's affairs with Li Lin.
"Miao Yue has called the boss out. She said she's going to sign the agreement," Sun Yang, a fan of Su Yao, naturally informed her of such an important matter.
"Okay, let her sign then," Su Yao thought that Pei Yan was finally going to get rid of Miao Yue.
"No, I booked the table for them. I'm familiar with that place. The boss said Miao Yue ordered a passion - fruit juice with her own ice cubes," Sun Yang often helped Pei Yan book tables at Yalou and was very familiar with the owner. The owner also knew a bit about Pei Yan's affairs.
"Really? Okay, I got it. You're so loyal. I'll bring you something delicious next time," Su Yao said as she hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?" Li Lin asked.
"To watch a couple's springtime farce," Su Yao said and left, leaving Li Lin, who was completely confused, to study the studio on his own.
"Whoosh!" The door of the private room was opened, and Su Yao appeared at the door. Seeing the scene in the private room, her eyes widened instantly.
