Chapter 130

Halfway there, Han An remembered what Xu Xiaoru had said and called Zhou Tao.

After the call connected, Han An, still with a cold expression, asked, “Have you investigated whether your wife might be having an affair?”

“We’ve been investigating, but we haven’t found any leads yet.”

I saw her today.

How did you get to know her?

“I just want to ask you one thing,” Han An asked after a deliberate pause, “What is your relationship with Su Keke?”

“Su…Su Keke?!”

Seeing that Zhou Tao was stammering on the other end of the phone, Han An knew that there must be a story between Zhou Tao and Su Keke.

If Xu Xiaoru cheated on Zhou Tao because of his infidelity, then Zhou Tao himself is the culprit, right?

For example, when he had an affair with Xu Yina, he also blamed part of the responsibility on his wife.

If his wife hadn’t kept it a secret, he would never have cheated on her.

After sighing, Han An asked, “You slept with her?”

“Who told you that?”

“I heard it from your wife.”

“How could she possibly know?!”

“It seems she’s telling the truth,” Han An asked. “Why did you sleep with Su Keke in the first place?”

“Brother An, we’re both men. If a woman tries to seduce you, wouldn’t you be completely infatuated?”

“So Su Keke seduced you?”

“It was my wife’s birthday that day, and she invited Su Keke over. All three of us drank too much,” Zhou Tao said. “My wife went to bed first, and I chatted with Su Keke in the living room. As we were chatting, we started talking about some really dirty topics, and we ended up kissing without thinking. Later, she asked me if I had ever had sex with other women in front of my wife. I said no, and she asked me if I wanted to try. I wanted to do it with her on the sofa, but she wouldn’t, so we went into the bedroom. Then Su Keke supported herself on the bed with both hands, and I did it with her. I thought my wife didn’t know, but it turns out she did.”

“You’re absolutely despicable!” Han An cursed. “Since you cheated first and she cheated later, you have no right to criticize her! Either get a divorce, or just continue living like this! You cheat, she cheats, and you live like strangers as a married couple!”

“Brother An, that’s not how it works. I only cheated on that woman once, and we haven’t been in contact since.”

Does cheating once not count as cheating?

“If my wife is having an affair with a certain leader, it certainly wouldn’t be a one-time thing, right?”

“Zhou Tao, let me tell you. Once you cheat, it makes no difference whether it happens once or a hundred times.”

“I know!”

“She cheated on you because you cheated on her, do you understand?”

“I was drunk.”

“Don’t use being drunk as an excuse,” Han An said. “For example, if you killed someone while drunk, and the judge asked you why you killed him, would you say that you were drunk and therefore innocent?”

“Brother An, have you eaten gunpowder?”

“I believed in your character, but I never expected you to be this kind of man.”

“Just once, really, and she seduced me.”

“Say what you want, that’s settled.”

Before Zhou Tao could speak, Han An hung up the phone.

He never expected that Zhou Tao was actually the one who cheated first!

Because Zhou Tao cheated, Xu Xiaoru cheated too. So whose fault is it?

In Han An’s opinion, both of them were at fault.

Even if her husband cheated on her, shouldn’t Xu Xiaoru, as his wife, have retaliated against Zhou Tao by cheating on her?

Suddenly, Han An thought of himself.

Was his relationship with Xu Yina an act of revenge against his wife?

That night, while he was with Xu Yina, he seemed to have had such a thought in his mind.

Since he thinks Xu Xiaoru did something wrong, then he must have done something wrong too, right?

In fact, if Xu Yina hadn’t been so proactive that night, he wouldn’t have lost all his territory.

So I should keep my distance from Xu Yina and wait until I find out the truth about his wife’s infidelity before making any decisions.

Around 4:30, Han An returned home.

As for his wife, she sat on the sofa with her head down.

As he walked over, his wife raised her head.

Looking at his wife’s red and swollen eyes, Han An knew that she had just been crying.

“Husband…husband…”

“Li Fulong has already told me the whole story, now it’s your turn to tell me.”

“sorry……”

“That’s not what I want to hear!” Han An roared. “Tell me the truth!”

Han An rarely yelled at Bai Jing, so Bai Jing was so frightened that she started to cry.

Seeing this, Han An became even angrier.

After pulling up a chair and sitting down in front of his wife, Han An said, “To keep it a secret from Li Fulong, you’ll pretend to agree to go to a hotel with him. After meeting Li Fulong at the hotel, you’ll make an excuse to slip away and have Xu Xiaoru go to the hotel with him in your place. During this process, Xu Xiaoru will use the hidden camera in her bag to film, and you, controlling the camera with software, will record the whole thing. Once you have a video that looks like Xu Xiaoru being raped, you can control Li Fulong and force him to stop threatening you. My dear wife, am I right?”

Bai Jing didn’t speak, she just nodded.

“Then tell me why you are afraid of Li Fulong.”

“It all started with my kidnapping in Lijiang,” Bai Jing said. “After being drugged and kidnapped, not only were my hands tied, but my eyes were also blindfolded. During this time, I was constantly outwitting the kidnapper, hoping he would release me as soon as possible. But on the morning of the 2nd, I was on the verge of a breakdown, so I argued with him. I told him that if he couldn’t make money, he shouldn’t get married, and he called me a liar, saying that I kept saying nice things to him just to run away and call the police. He also said that since he had already committed a crime, it wouldn’t be a big deal for him to do more illegal things, so he thought…” He raped me. My eyes were still blindfolded, but I heard him unbuckling his belt, which terrified me. Then he forcibly pried my legs apart, trying to pull down my underwear. During this process, my underwear tore, and he scratched my thighs. Because my legs weren’t bound, I took the opportunity to kick him, and I ended up kicking his genitals. Then he kept cursing at me, saying he’d make me pay when he got back. Before he left, he chained my legs together and tied them to a pillar.

At this point, Bai Jing wiped her eyes again.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Jing continued, “After he left, I removed the blindfold. I wanted to escape, so I tried to bite the knots in the ropes, but I couldn’t get them open. As for the chains binding my legs, I couldn’t untie them either. I also tried to call for help, but no one came to my aid. I don’t know where he went, but I know that if I couldn’t slip away, I would be in big trouble when he came back.”

“Your hands are behind your back, how could you possibly bite?”

“I got it to the front,” Bai Jing said. “You just squat down and bring your hands up from your feet to the front. It’s very simple. I didn’t dare to do it before because the kidnappers were there.”
