When Yan Jing received a phone call from Xu Xixi, her first reaction was to refuse.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Dahai anymore.

But the words of refusal that reached her lips turned into an "Okay."

It wasn't until she had hung up the phone that she realized, too late, why she had agreed!

She was very troubled, but she had already promised Xu Xixi. If she reneged now, it would only arouse Xu Xixi's suspicion.

She consoled herself with the thought that she was only discussing official business with Wang Dahai and that nothing else would happen.

So, she dialed Wang Dahai's number.

"Hello, Lawyer Yan."

Hearing Wang Dahai's voice made Xu Xixi's heart flutter.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. I've heard from Xixi that you want to check the company's purchasing accounts, correct?"

"Yes."

"Which company is it? Are you handling this matter directly?"

"Yes, I'll speak with the leadership and then get back to you."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Wang Dahai walked into his office.

"Director Wu, I've made contact with the lawyer. What's the next step in the investigation?"

Wu Qiangwei had her brows furrowed as if she'd encountered some trouble. Upon hearing him, she set down her document, saying, "I'm not too familiar with the procedures. Ask the lawyer and see if they have any suggestions."

"Right."

"Try not to alarm anyone at the company if possible."

Wang Dahai found this a bit tricky: "Director Wu, we'll definitely need cooperation from the company to audit the accounts, especially from the finance department."

Wu Qiangwei shook her head: "The finance manager has a good relationship with Hu Quan. If we approach her, Hu Quan will know. For the time being, I don't want to bring this matter out into the open."

Wang Dahai understood her concerns.

Wu Qiangwei's investigation into procurement was mainly to hold the evidence in her hand as a chip for counterattack.

But the time to use that chip had not yet come.

"I'll meet with the lawyer first and see if she has any good ideas."

"Okay."

Leaving the company, Wang Dahai continued down the stairs while dialing Yan Jing's number.

"Lawyer Yan, let's discuss this in person."

"Ah..."

"Is it inconvenient for you, Lawyer Yan?"

"No, it's not inconvenient. Should I come over to you... oh no, I'll come to you. Where are you?"

"I might not be the best place either."

It wouldn't be good for others to see him meeting with a lawyer, lest it reach the ears of Chen Die and Hu Quan and give them cause for wild speculation.

"I'll come to pick you up first, then we'll find a café to meet."

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, Wang Dahai arrived at the law firm's building.

Yan Jing was already waiting there, dressed in a black professional pencil skirt, a white blouse with a small ladies' blazer, and carrying a briefcase— the standard white-collar attire.

Her short hair framed her face, which looked pure and clean, like a budding flower.

Her slender figure, standing there, appeared as beautiful as a girl from an anime from a distance.

At that moment, a motorcycle stopped in front of her. Wang Dahai took off his helmet and said, "Lawyer Yan, hop on."

"Oh."

Yan Jing mounted the pillion seat, awkwardly pulling her pencil skirt down.

Although the skirt was not short, it barely covered her knees.

With her legs spread while riding, it was easy to be exposed.

Wang Dahai said, "Lawyer Yan, lean against me."

"Okay." Yan Jing held her briefcase in front of her, separating it from Wang Dahai's body.

She leaned in slowly, her legs gently clenching around Wang Dahai.

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Dahai rode into a somewhat old street near the company.

The street was old, but the shops were diverse.

Wang Dahai parked his motorcycle outside a bar and, removing his helmet, said in surprise, "There's even a bar here."

Yan Jing said, "You can't drink and ride, can you?"

"Definitely not drinking. I saw that they serve coffee too; I'm fine with coffee."

After parking the motorcycle, the two entered the strange shop that sold both alcohol and coffee.

Entering the shop, Wang Dahai was even more surprised.

There wasn't a single customer in sight.

No, that wasn't right, it wasn't that there were no customers, but rather the shop simply had no tables or chairs for sitting.

What kind of bizarre shop was this?

"Would the two guests like to order anything?"

The waiter stood behind the cash register and asked with a smile.

Wang Dahai walked over and looked at the wall behind the waiter.

Pinned on the wall was a price list.

However, the content on the price list was a bit confusing to him.

"Do you charge for coffee by the hour here?"

It said 120 yuan for one hour.

What kind of fresh charging model was this?

"Yes," the waiter replied with a smile.

"Then I'll have a latte," he said.

"Lawyer Yan, what will you drink?"

"I'll have a cocktail," she said in a weak voice, her face a bit red.

"One latte and one cocktail."

Wang Dahai took out his phone to scan the code: "That'll be 240 in total, right?"

"Yes."

"All paid," Wang Dahai said, looking around. "Where do we sit?"

"This way, sir."

The waiter led them inside, through a narrow corridor, and brought them to the outside of a room.

Upon opening the door, the waiter stood aside and said, "Sir, Miss, please come in. Your coffee and cocktail will be brought to you shortly."

After speaking, the waiter left.

Wang Dahai peered inside with a strange look in his eyes.

This seemed to be a room?

And it was pitch black.

He walked in and groped the wall until he found a switch and pressed it.

The lights came on, revealing everything in the room.

There was a sofa bed in the room, draped with ambiguously colored bedding that could certainly spark wild thoughts.

On the bedside table was a heart-shaped lamp while the walls were painted pink.

And directly in front of the bed on the wall hung a 60-inch TV.

The room's decor gave off a highly unseemly vibe.

As they entered, they looked around and felt increasingly that this shop was very odd.

But Wang Dahai didn't think too much of it; having a place to sit was enough.

He had just sat down when the waiter came back in.

The waiter set down the coffee and cocktail with a smile: "Please enjoy," he said.

Then he turned to leave, closing the door gently behind him.

"Miss Yan, take a seat."

"Oh." Yan Jing sat down, maintaining a distance of about half a meter from him.

She felt equally uncomfortable because of the room's decor, just like Wang Dahai.

Wang Dahai handed her the cocktail and took his coffee.

Suddenly, he saw something very familiar on the bedside table.

This was… a condom?

Why would a coffee shop provide condoms?

Yan Jing saw it too.

"Ahem," Wang Dahai cleared his throat and said, "That's probably not an actual condom, probably a condom-shaped chewing gum."

Wang Dahai was breaking the awkward silence; he wasn't talking nonsense, there were many shops that specialized in producing items in that shape, which looked like condoms at a glance.

He picked it up, but upon closer inspection, this was indeed a real condom!

He was instantly dumbfounded.

What kind of shop was this, even providing such things?

Wang Dahai had a bad feeling that he might be in the wrong place.

The decor of the shop and the charging mode reminded Wang Dahai of one particular venue—a private cinema.
