Min'er wiped her hands on her clothes, preparing to open the rear door.
Ke Teng's cold voice drifted over.
"I'm not your driver. Come to the front."
The two sat side by side in the car.
Before the seatbelts were fastened, Ke Teng slammed on the accelerator and sped off.
The car was going so fast, and he could even talk on the phone while driving.
"The large bridge in front of Fucheng Airport, all surveillance within ten kilometers, I'll give you an hour to deal with it."
Deal with all the surveillance along the way? 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 helped her?
The more expressionless and calm he appeared, the more her heart pounded.
"Who are you? How do you know me? How do you know what I did?"
"What did that call mean? What do you want?"
Ke Teng stared straight ahead, paused for a few seconds, then turned his head to glance at her.
She was much prettier than in photos and more mature than he had imagined.
He had expected to spend a lot of time trying to convince her before coming, but this way was quite good.
"Who do you want me to be?"
Min'er had left Fucheng when she was young. Although her nationality was Chinese and she lived in this country, besides her mother, she only knew Zhan Bei Jue.
Given the serious incident, it was impossible to say that she hadn't thought of Zhan Bei Jue first.
But she knew it was just a fantasy.
Zhan Bei Jue didn't belong to her, couldn't be there at her beck and call, and certainly couldn't help her do bad things.
But at this moment, the fantasy didn't seem so unreal.
This person seemed to possess an omnipotent superpower. If Zhan Bei Jue hadn't sent him, who else could it be?
"Did Mr. Zhan send you?"
"Mr. Zhan?" Ke Teng let out a mocking laugh.
"I knew you'd say that."
Wasn't it?
Min'er was confused by him.
"Can't you just speak properly and explain everything at once? What do you mean?"
"I mean nothing. I just 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 deserted in the early morning. Ke Teng drove very fast, and they soon arrived at Min'er's home.
Upon entering the living room, the whole house was filled with the smell of fresh water from cleaning.
Ke Teng couldn't help but frown and fanned the air in front of his nose.
"Your alertness is quite strong, you knew to clean up first. But this smell is too pungent. Go on, open the windows to air it out."
Could it be that he had installed surveillance in her house and seen her every move?
How could he even say things like "alertness is strong"?
Since it had come to this, and there was no way to hide it, Min'er stopped wasting her breath.
She walked over and opened the window.
Ke Teng looked around. "Which room does your mother live in?"
"..." Min'er pointed for him.
"Is your house soundproof?"
"What do you want to say?"
"Something very important. No one else besides you and me should hear it."
Min'er gritted her teeth and led him to her room.
"Then come 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.
Subconsciously, she felt that this man was extraordinary, and his purpose was unusual; he wasn't after her meager attractiveness.
As 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 now?"
Impatiently.
He turned back. "Shen Min'er, you're 20 years old this year, right?"
Min'er was driven to the brink of madness by him. She just wanted to know his purpose.
Exasperated, she said, "Yes!"
"Is that 20 years by the Gregorian calendar or by East Asian age reckoning?"
"You've already investigated my home and my affairs, and you still don't know if it's by the Gregorian calendar or East Asian age reckoning? 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 need to think to know that this name was unfamiliar to her. They couldn't possibly have any connection.
"I'm listening, please say everything at once."
"Your personality is rather 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 witnessed everything you did just now, and I have evidence. If you don't want the whole world to know, cooperate with me honestly."
"Answer what I ask, and don't make me angry, okay?"
Min'er was immediately threatened by him.
Although she was anxious 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 him? Did you feel content hearing that?"
Min'er really wanted to ask him: What business is it of yours?
But she held back.
"What if I'm not content? He's married, that's a fact. I can't just shamelessly cling to him, can I?"
"You're a person with strong moral 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 like you've been toyed with?"
The same thing can be viewed differently by different people.
Perhaps it was her simple nature, Min'er might feel unwilling or lost, but she hadn't thought of it this way.
"He had amnesia at the time. He didn't intentionally 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 think in terms of submissiveness. I don't like this about you."
"Regardless of the reason, the result is that you've been toyed with, isn't that a fact?"
"You're mourning here, worrying about him. He's enjoying himself night after night far away, with his family happy. 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 sentence was leading her toward dangerous thoughts. He was Zhan Bei Jue's enemy!
"If you have any grievances with Zhan Bei Jue and want to take revenge on him through me, you're thinking too much."
"Don't say I mean nothing to him, and I 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 whenever you want. Anyway, I've lived long enough, do as you please."
