Wang Dahai found the chat history between him and Hu Quan and studied it carefully.

Half an hour later, he tossed the phone away.

From the chat history, it appeared He Wen hadn't lied.

"Alright, you can go now."

"Wang, about that video..."

"If Hu Quan ever tells you anything, remember to notify me, got it?"

"Understood, absolutely!"

Wang Dahai smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you're not double-crossing me, I won't do anything to you."

At this point of the conversation, He Wen also understood that it was impossible to persuade Wang Dahai to delete all the videos.

These videos were the proof he held against him.

He had no way out.

He only hated himself for being bewitched at first, to have listened to Hu Quan.

He was the one helping out and got trapped by Wang Dahai's schemes, yet Hu Quan remained unaffected.

He felt somewhat bitter inside.

"Well, Zhang, I'll be off then."

"Wait." Wang Dahai stopped him again and asked, "How's your relationship with Zhang Yue?"

"Zhang Yue?" He Wen asked. "Are you interested in her? That woman... Wang, I'd advise you better not touch her."

"Oh? Why is that?"

He Wen hesitated for a while and whispered, "She's Mr. Hu's woman."

As expected.

Wang Dahai feigned surprise, "Are you sure?"

He Wen replied, "Wang, what are you saying? Would I dare to talk nonsense to you if I weren't sure? That girl is very materialistic; Mr. Hu won her over with just a package initially. Also, there was one time I accidentally saw her in the office with Mr. Hu... hehe, you know what I mean."

"Alright, I've got it. Go on about your business."

"Yeah, if you need anything, just call me. I'll come running."

After He Wen left, Wang Dahai walked over to the window, pulled the curtains open, and took the phone that was resting on the windowsill.

The conversation he had just had with He Wen had been recorded.

He wasn't in a hurry to go find Wu Qiangwei to claim credit.

He always felt there was more to this matter than met the eye.

Although from the chat records, what He Wen said was correct.

But logically, it didn't make sense.

If the sole aim was merely controlling Wu Qiangwei, this wasn't the right method.

Even if Hu Quan indeed slept with Wu Qiangwei, how could he ensure that Wu Qiangwei would cooperate with him because she'd lost her chastity?

A more likely outcome was that Wu Qiangwei would report him to the police.

After all, it was a crime.

Of course, the real reason Wang Dahai felt the matter wasn't that simple involved Zhang Yue!

If it was only about controlling Wu Qiangwei, then the affair would have ended after Wang Dahai disrupted his plans.

But Hu Quan let Zhang Yue seduce him.

Clearly, Hu Quan had other schemes in mind.

As he was pondering and analyzing, Bai Ruyi sent a message.

"Little rascal, what are you up to?"

"Busy thinking about you."

"You're not messaging me."

"I've been really busy, just got a moment of free time."

"Really busy, huh?"

"Yeah, swamped. I even saved someone this morning by chance."

"Ah? Saved someone? What happened?"

Wang Dahai briefly explained the incident from the morning.

Bai Ruyi nervously said, "Why are you so reckless? What if that girl had grabbed onto you and both of you had drowned?"

"I'm very good in the water."

"No matter how good you are, there's still danger. Be honest, was she a beauty?"

"She's nothing compared to you." Wang Dahai said, "Has your best friend left yet?"

"Not yet, why do you keep asking about my best friend? Do you have designs on her?"

"…" Dahai was amazed; this woman's thought process was truly unique.

I don't even know what your best friend looks like, or what she's thinking.

Ruyi: "Is there any time available tomorrow? It's the weekend."

Is it the weekend already?

Time flies so fast.

"I can't confirm now."

"No time over the weekend? Is it because you'll be with your girlfriend?"

"Official business."

"Okay, then I'll ask you again tomorrow."

The two chatted for a while, and it was almost time to leave work.

Dahai initially thought he would be busy all day, but surprisingly he finished everything ahead of time.

As he pushed the door open to leave, passing by the reception desk, Zhang Yue gave him a resentful look, which Dahai ignored.

After getting into the car, he sent a message to Wu Qiangwei: "I'm in the parking lot."

Ten minutes later, Wu Qiangwei came down.

She opened the back door of the car and got in.

Dahai turned around to look at her.

He had noticed in the morning that she wasn't feeling well; how come she still looked so lifeless after a whole day?

"Director Wu, not sitting in the front?"

"Just drive."

Wu Qiangwei responded coldly and closed her eyes to rest.

Dahai touched his nose and said, "I still have some work updates to share with you, you're sitting so far away, I'm afraid you won't hear me."

"Then just speak louder."

"I can't, I think I'm getting a cold; my throat is uncomfortable."

"A cold?" Wu Qiangwei opened her eyes, gave him a look, and snorted lightly: "You're as strong as an ox, you get colds?"

"I really feel a bit cold." Dahai said, "I fell into the water this morning."

"How did you end up in the water?" Wu Qiangwei's tone showed more concern.

"It's a long story. Why don't you come sit in the front? My throat is a bit itchy, and it's easy to cough loudly."

He wasn't just making excuses; his throat indeed felt itchy.

With his years of medical experience, this was a sign of an impending cold.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Wu Qiangwei opened the car door and moved to the passenger seat.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Dahai started the car, got on the road, and briefly explained the morning's events.

"He Wen's girlfriend fell into the water?"

"Yeah, it was quite coincidental; I happened to see it, and realizing that it was a good opportunity to connect, I jumped in."

This incident really had something to do with her.

After all, Dahai was investigating He Wen and approaching Lu Wen to threaten He Wen.

Wu Qiangwei's feelings were a bit conflicted.

"Oh, and take a look at this."

Dahai took out his phone, found the video he recorded in the afternoon, and handed it over.

After watching the video, Wu Qiangwei's eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

"To indirectly control me..."

Dahai asked, "Do you believe it?"

Wu Qiangwei shook her head.

"I don't believe it either." Dahai said, "Oh, by the way, I also confirmed from He Wen that Zhang Yue is indeed Hu Quan's mistress. That means her getting close to me is at Hu Quan's behest."

"Be careful yourself these days; I have some time the next couple days, so I will also look into Hu Quan, see if I can dig up something on him."

"Okay." Wu Qiangwei nodded lightly, looking out the window, her thoughts drifting.

When the car reached the entrance to the residential area, Wu Qiangwei said, "Stop here."

She opened the door and walked off into the distance.

A few minutes later, she returned to the car and threw a plastic bag to him.

Dahai picked it up to see that it was cold medicine.

"If you feel uncomfortable, take some medicine, don't just bear with it."

Wu Qiangwei said in an even tone.

Dahai looked at the cold medicine in his hand and looked up at her: "Are you concerned about me?"
