"Here, light up a smoke..." Zhu Bufan pulled out his cheap pack of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes, which cost about ten yuan, and handed one to Wang Damao.

Yet Wang Damao looked at it dismissively and did not take the cigarette Zhu Bufan was offering him.

"Don't be disdainful! Let's enjoy a smoke and I'll slowly tell you the story about me and Liu Rong..." Zhu Bufan said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Damao's interest piqued, taking the budget Yellow Crane Tower cigarette from Zhu Bufan's hand, and lighting it.

"Liu Rong is my girlfriend, that I didn't lie to you about, brother. You might wonder why I'm taking a taxi to this place instead of going directly in her car?" Zhu Bufan also lit a cigarette, took a heavy drag, and showed a helpless expression as he spoke.

Wang Damao continued to look at Zhu Bufan with disdain.

"Hey! Big brother, as you know, for poor guys like us, having such a gorgeous and wealthy woman notice us is a stroke of immense luck. But do you know? The fact that Liu Rong has succeeded up till now is all thanks to yours truly supporting her," Zhu Bufan said with a voice tinged with sobbing, his face twisted with grievance and pain.

Wang Damao's expression changed slightly.

"Her entire four years of college tuition, living expenses, food, all of it, I earned it brick by brick working on construction sites, do you know? She and I were high school classmates. We started dating freshman year; back then, we were deeply in love. She always had excellent academic performance, while mine was mediocre. So, after high school, I went straight to work, and she continued to college."

"After starting to work, I realized how hard it is to earn money in society. But just thinking that I had a pretty girlfriend in college made me happy. So I worked my butt off to earn money for her, to support her through university. We had agreed that we'd get married right after she graduated from college. However, once she finished, she kept delaying, up until now. I really don't understand why she's stalling. Maybe now that she's a 'goddess,' she looks down on poor guys like us," Zhu Bufan said with bitter sadness.

At this moment, Wang Damao's emotions were affected by Zhu Bufan.

"Big brother, do you think it's easy for people like us? Can't we poor folks have true love?" Zhu Bufan sighed.

"Just tonight, I was planning to invite her to watch a movie and then make a final stand, asking her to marry me. But when I got to the Huixiang Group's building, I saw her with a man in a suit, looking all prim and proper, walking together. I was so furious that I went straight up and fought with the suit guy," said Zhu Bufan.

"Bro, good on you..." Wang Damao said excitedly.

Tears were twinkling in his eyes.

"Sigh! I may have given him a good thrashing, but then she slapped me and drove away. I've been chasing her in this taxi, hoping to explain things to her, but then, big brother, you..." Zhu Bufan said.

"Bro, my bad, I'm sorry... Just go ahead! We poor guys also have the right to pursue happiness. Go on..." At this moment, Wang Damao, with tears streaming down his face, became very emotional and grabbed Zhu Bufan's hand.

"Okay... Then big brother, I'll go in..." Zhu Bufan was also overwhelmed with emotion.

"Hurry up and go, brother. If that guy tries to stop you again today, just tell me, and I'll take care of it..."

"Thank you..." Zhu Bufan said, full of gratitude.

"Don't mention it, hurry up and go, good luck, and keep your spirits up..."

"Alright..."

Zhu Bufan strode directly into the high-end residential complex.

Wang Damao actually shouted loudly from behind: "Bro, keep it up, I believe in you..."

Zhu Bufan let out a wry smile.

Damn, I even admire my own acting skills, actually managed to make a big and burly man cry.

However, what Zhu Bufan didn't know was that this Wang Damao also had a tragic story just like the one Zhu Bufan had mentioned.

Wang Damao also had a beautiful girlfriend. They were from the same village, fell in love in the village, truly in love, the kind where they had privately vowed to spend their lives together.

In the year Wang Damao turned 20, in order to build a brick house in the village and marry this girl, he chose to go out to work.

This was what his girlfriend's mother had demanded. Initially, Wang Damao's girlfriend's mother was very much opposed to it, but she couldn't win against her daughter's stubbornness, and thus, having no other choice, she stated that if Wang Damao could build a brick house in the village, she would agree to let him be with her daughter, setting a deadline of two years.

In order to build a brick house within two years, Wang Damao chose to go out to work.

Finally, after two years, Wang Damao had earned enough money to build a brick house, and happily returned home, ready to marry his girlfriend. However, upon his return to the village, he learned that his girlfriend had already become someone else's mother.

Wang Damao was filled with hatred at that moment!

In a fit of rage, he left the village and never returned.

Since then, Wang Damao had looked down on poor people. He believed that those poor people were loathsome, never keeping to their promises.

But he also hated that he was just a poor loser, damn it. If only he had had a little money, then he wouldn't have had to part with the one he loved.

This was why Wang Damao looked down on Zhu Bufan. This was why he stopped Zhu Bufan in his tracks.

However, when Zhu Bufan shared his own story, and especially when Zhu Bufan said, "Just because we're poor losers, does it mean we can't have true love?" it deeply moved him.

It inadvertently made him think of his own girlfriend.

Thus, Wang Damao got emotional, shed tears, and let Zhu Bufan go inside, also promising that if anyone gave Zhu Bufan trouble, he'd have Wang Damao to answer to.

Zhu Bufan entered the upscale community and quickly disappeared within it.

What Zhu Bufan needed to do now was to quickly follow this woman, Secretary Liu, and find the evidence. Zhu Bufan believed his judgment was correct; Secretary Liu would definitely go to check on the hidden evidence when she got home.

Luckily, with the help of Supreme Eyes, Zhu Bufan quickly located Secretary Liu.

At that moment, after Secretary Liu parked her car, she quickly walked into her own building.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of Zhu Bufan's mouth, and then he silently followed behind Secretary Liu.

As soon as Secretary Liu got home, she hurried into her own bedroom and then pulled away a photograph of herself that was hanging on the wall.

Then a small hole was revealed, inside which there was a folder and a recording pen.
