This case wouldn't have caused such a sensational uproar.

The reason it spread so widely.

Was also because of Bai Shuang's identity.

A high-profile celebrity involved in a murder case is bound to attract attention.

What Zhong Xiqian heard was merely a rumor.

It was said that Lu Wenyuan's company had invited Bai Shuang to endorse a game.

So the two went to a karaoke bar to discuss the details.

After Lu Wenyuan got drunk.

Bai Shuang, carried away by "emotions," had relations with a waiter, and because Lu Wenyuan saw it, she tried to kill him to silence him.

Chen Fang listened to all this.

He was completely stunned.

He asked, "This is so absurd, do you believe it?"

Zhong Xiqian said, "I think it's quite reasonable; celebrities have desires too. The waiter was probably handsome, and she was tempted. Who knew the boss would wake up halfway, interrupt Bai Shuang in the act, and she might have panicked, angry, fearing for her career—that's normal, right..."

Chen Fang was speechless hearing such analysis.

Just as he wanted to counter her argument.

The phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the number, it was Song Lanre calling.

He was just thinking of calling her to ask about the situation when, coincidentally, she called first.

"Hello."

"Hey, are you free? I've arrived in Rongjiang City."

Song Lanre briefly said.

Chen Fang paused for a moment and said, "Give me the address; I'll come over now."

About half an hour later.

Chen Fang arrived at Song Lanre's hotel.

After knocking on the door.

Chen Fang discovered something.

There were two people in the room.

One was the familiar Song Lanre.

The other was a woman, wearing a standard business suit, with short hair and gold-rimmed glasses, looking both distinguished and charming.

This face...

Why does it look so familiar?

"Yiyi?"

Chen Fang asked, almost not believing it.

The woman in the business suit smiled lightly.

And said, "I didn't expect you to remember me. It seems my feelings for you back then weren't in vain."

Who is this woman?

She is Zhao Yiyi.

Back when dealing with the "Fenglin Party" case, Chen Fang had a story with her.

Unexpectedly, after so many years, they met again under such circumstances.

The words were indeed quite ambiguous.

Chen Fang didn't know how to respond.

His mind instinctively asked, "You're here for the Bai Shuang case, right?"

"You already know?"

Song Lanre asked.

Seeing Chen Fang nod slightly.

She gestured toward Zhao Yiyi and said, "Lawyer Zhao is the lawyer I specially hired. However… however, when she went to the police station, they said the case was major, still under investigation, and wouldn't allow Bai Shuang to see a lawyer."

During this time.

Zhao Yiyi's eyes kept lingering on Chen Fang's face.

It was apparent.

She still had lingering feelings for Chen Fang.

Hearing what Song Lanre said.

She supplemented, "This doesn't make sense. Bai Shuang has already been transferred to the detention center. Logically, she should be able to meet her lawyer, but the police are very firm on not allowing the meeting to happen."

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Regarding this anomaly.

Chen Fang also found it odd.

He looked towards Song Lanre and asked, "Lanre, with your understanding of Bai Shuang, is she capable of doing such a thing?"

Song Lanre, without thinking.

Shook her head directly.

And said, "Impossible. Bai Shuang is quite aloof and disdainful, and not to mention a waiter, she might not even be interested in that boss or whatever. Claims of adultery and murder are pure nonsense, simply impossible."

Concerning Song Lanre.

Chen Fang trusted her unconditionally.

After hearing her words.

He nodded, paced to the window, and said, "So, there must be some hidden truth behind this murder case."

Zhao Yiyi added, "Lanre and I analyzed a bit, the problem might be with the victim, Lu Wenyuan."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Chen Fang asked.

Zhao Yiyi said, "Yanhua Group, under Lu Wenyuan, is a listed company. The stock price is also stable. If he is the victim, the stock price wouldn't be affected. But if Bai Shuang is innocent, forced to kill or in self-defense, the stock price of Yanhua Group would definitely plummet. You know, Bai Shuang's influence isn't small."

These words.

Indeed made sense.

But after all, it was just speculation.

There was not yet conclusive evidence.

At that moment.

A scene in the parking lot below suddenly caught Chen Fang's attention.

Just outside the hotel entrance.

Three cars entered in sequence.

After they stopped.

More than ten people got out of the three cars.

Then a familiar figure appeared before them.

He had seen that person before.

At Lu Wenyuan's company.

None other than the so-called district leader of Changting District—Beard.

Beard was gesturing commands to his underlings.

Chen Fang had a jolt.

Turned and said, "You're being followed."

Song Lanre and Zhao Yiyi instantly became frightened.

Chen Fang didn't panic.

He immediately walked to the door, looked outside through the peephole.

There in the corridor.

Three suspicious men were pacing not far from their room.

It was evident.

These three were the followers.

Going out now would certainly lead to a direct confrontation. While Chen Fang could leave alone, there was no way to protect the two women behind him.

In a flash of inspiration.

Chen Fang's mind recalled the air conditioners outside the window.

It seems there was only one way out currently.

He quickly returned to the window.

Opened the window.

Carefully observed.

Between the adjacent rooms, each had an air conditioner outside, separated by only thirty or forty centimeters. Without much thought, he leaped over to the adjacent air conditioning unit.

He tried the window of the neighboring room.

Fortune smiled.

The window was unlocked.

He gently opened the window first, then jumped back to the original air conditioner, and said to the two inside, "Come, over here, I'll help you…"

You must know, this was the fourth floor.

The two women were somewhat apprehensive.

But they trusted Chen Fang absolutely.

Song Lanre climbed onto the windowsill first, got down to the air conditioner, and with Chen Fang's help, moved to the opposite unit, then climbed into the next room.

With Song Lanre leading.

Zhao Yiyi wasn't scared anymore.

After being pushed into the adjacent room by Chen Fang.

Chen Fang returned to the room and closed the opened window again.

Just as he jumped through the window into the neighboring room, their previous room was opened with a beep sound.

Seven or eight people, led by Beard, swarmed in...

When faced with an empty room.

Beard was also a bit stunned.

Turning his head, he asked the three in charge of surveillance, "Where are they? Didn't you say they hadn't left the room?"
