”Can you finish what you’re saying all at once?”

　　 Hearing Qiao Liang’s complaint and glancing at Han An, Xu Yina finally spoke up: “After you sign the agreement, and I call the police in front of you and say that what happened last night was voluntary, you must give me 100,000 yuan.”

　　 “You really have a huge appetite for profit!”

　　 “Do you think freedom is worth less than 100,000 yuan?”

　　 “fifty thousand.”

　　 “This isn’t a farmers market, so you can’t bargain,” Xu Yina said. “Anyway, if you don’t agree, you can just go to the shop where I work and make a scene. When I was still with my boss, I did have feelings for him. But he abandoned me to avoid arousing his wife’s suspicion, so I have no feelings for him anymore. So, it doesn’t really matter whether you agree or not.”

　　 “Okay, I promise you.”

　　 “Then come to the coffee shop across from the Bohao Hotel, I’ll wait for you inside.”

　　 “You’re not trying to pull any tricks, are you?”

　　 “If you don’t even have this much courage, how dare you call yourself a man?”

　　 Fuck you!

　　 “Whether you come or not is your business, but I’ll wait for you for an hour.”

　　 At this point, Xu Yina immediately hung up.

　　 After hanging up, Xu Yina said, “Boss, I’ve done as you said.”

　　 “Then you should know what to do next.”

　　 “Um!”

　　 After responding, Xu Yina called the police officer in charge of the case.

　　 About half an hour later, Qiao Liang appeared near the coffee shop that Xu Yina had specified.

　　 Perhaps worried that Xu Yina was playing a trick, Qiao Liang did not go in immediately, but instead observed his surroundings.

　　 He was somewhat worried that this was a trap, perhaps with police lying in wait for him, but he was also eager to see Xu Yina.

　　 Only if Xu Yina called the police in front of him and said that what happened with Lao Xu last night was consensual could Qiao Liang be completely at ease. If Xu Yina only said on the phone that she had already made the call, Qiao Liang still couldn’t feel at ease.

　　 This is why Qiao Liang risked coming to see Xu Yina.

　　 After observing for more than ten minutes and finding nothing wrong, Qiao Liang walked into the coffee shop.

　　 Seeing Xu Yina drinking her coffee, Qiao Liang quickened his pace.

　　 After sitting down opposite Xu Yina, Qiao Liang said, “Make the call now, quick!”

　　 Xu Yina didn’t say anything, but simply took out her phone from her pocket.

　　 Just as Xu Yina made a gesture as if to make a phone call, two plainclothes police officers suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qiao Liang.

　　 Before Qiao Liang could react, he was already handcuffed.

　　 “You slut!” Qiao Liang cursed, “You bitch!”

　　 “How dare you say such things,” Xu Yina said. “You approached me under the pretense of being my boyfriend, and then you actually tried to sell me to another man. So you are the real slut.”

　　 “You’re having an affair with your boss!”

　　 “I also had an affair with Andy Lau!”

　　 Not wanting to continue talking to Qiao Liang, Xu Yina picked up her bag and immediately walked towards the cashier.

　　 “Wait till I get out! I’ll kill you!”

　　 Upon hearing this, Xu Yina turned around and said, “Officer, please add a charge of intimidation to my list.”

　　 Qiao Liang became even angrier because of Xu Yina’s words.

　　 As Xu Yina paid the money, Qiao Liang had already been taken away.

　　 After paying, Xu Yina naturally left the coffee shop.

　　 After walking for a while, Xu Yina opened the door of Han An’s car and sat in the passenger seat.

　　 As soon as she sat down, Xu Yina let out a long sigh of relief.

　　 Because he couldn’t be discovered by Qiao Liang, Han An stayed in his car and kept watch over the entrance of the coffee shop.

　　 Therefore, he was very clear about Qiao Liang’s entry and his being taken away by the police.

　　 “Is it all done?”

　　 “It’s all settled,” Xu Yina said. “He should be spending a few years in jail.”

　　 “Wouldn’t that also be considered attempted rape?”

　　 “Pretty much, since he was the one who asked that man to rape me.”

　　 “He’ll at least be quieter while he’s in jail,” Han An said. “So when you told me this morning that he was going to threaten you with our issues, the best thing I could think of was to lure him out and then have the police arrest him. Whether it’s a few months or a few years, it’s enough for me. Because under normal circumstances, I’ll divorce my wife within a month or two. I also want to transfer Hanji to another company and leave this place of trouble. When Qiao Liang gets out, he probably won’t even be able to find me. By the way, if I weren’t in Shenzhen, I would suggest you leave Shenzhen too.”

　　 “Then boss, can you take me with you?”

　　 Looking at Xu Yina’s smiling face, Han An said, “If there are any more shops, then I will.”

　　 “Where to now?”

　　 “Let’s find a place to have lunch. I know a good all-you-can-eat steakhouse nearby.”

　　 With that, Han An drove off.

　　 During the steak dinner, Han An asked Xu Yina where she lived.

　　 Xu Yina said that she needed to deal with the check-out in the afternoon, and then planned to find a place to stay near Hanji.

　　 She also said that she and Bai Qin had already agreed to rent a place together.

　　 Hearing Xu Yina’s words, Han An couldn’t help but recall the scene when he first got together with Xu Yina.

　　 At that time, they knew Bai Qin lived across the street, and Xu Yina even said she hoped Han An would ask Bai Qin to move out, or for her to move to another neighborhood. That way, the two of them could continue their affair without worrying about being discovered by Bai Qin.

　　 But now, Xu Yina’s mindset has changed drastically.

　　 Otherwise, Xu Yina wouldn’t have said she wanted to share an apartment with Bai Qin.

　　 While they were chatting after eating steak, Xu Yina asked Han An if he wanted to be with Bai Qin, saying she could act as their matchmaker.

　　 The more Xu Yina said this, the more bitter Han An felt in his heart.

　　 As for the reason, he couldn’t explain it either.

　　 After leaving the steakhouse, Xu Yina called her landlord.

　　 Because of the murder case, the landlord was happy to let Xu Yina terminate the lease and would not withhold the deposit.

　　 Afterwards, Han An escorted Xu Yina to meet her landlord.

　　 Since Han An was going to take his wife to the hospital for a check-up, he drove home after dropping Xu Yina off at her destination.

　　 He had only driven a short distance when his phone rang.

　　 Seeing that it was Gao Yining calling, Han An, who was wearing a Bluetooth headset, quickly answered the call.

　　 After the call connected, Han An asked, “Any results?”

　　 “It’s a bit of a pity that Zhou Tao’s body hair doesn’t match the DNA data of the pubic hair you provided earlier.”

　　 Are you sure?

　　 “Sure.”

　　 “That’s strange.”

　　 “Xu Xiaoru was the only one who knew beforehand that your wife was going to Lijiang?”

　　 “Her sister, Bai Qin, also knows.”

　　 “How is the relationship between the two sisters?”

　　 “It couldn’t be Xiaoqin,” Han An said. “I’ve compared the handwriting, and it doesn’t match the handwriting on her underwear. And because there are semen stains on the underwear, I’m even less convinced that Xiaoqin could have done this. Anyway, I’m convinced that Xu Xiaoru is involved, but it’s possible that Zhou Tao didn’t help Xu Xiaoru. The couple only came out about their infidelity a few days ago, so they must have been doing their own thing before that.”

　　 “So, you think that pubic hair belongs to Xu Xiaoru’s lover?”
