Chapter 8

Night had fallen deep.

I hurried toward home.

Lu Junrong followed beside me, clearly dissatisfied. “I must be out of my mind, following you in the middle of the night to catch an affair and film such filthy things.”

I looked at him apologetically and bowed repeatedly. “I’m truly sorry for the trouble.”

Lu Junrong’s handsome face was full of impatience. “Just get a divorce already. Why make it so complicated?”

I lowered my eyes.

Divorce? It wouldn’t be that easy.

I wanted them to be unable to escape this pain and shame for the rest of their lives.

I unlocked the main gate and stepped inside quietly.

Two households lived in this small courtyard, but as luck would have it, the neighbors next door had recently returned to their hometown.

I walked up to my front door.

There were no lights on inside, but the house was filled with the violent creaking of a bed, accompanied by a woman’s soft moans and a man’s heavy breathing.

At that moment, Lu Junrong leaned into my ear, his voice teasing. “Your husband’s stamina is quite good.”

I glared at him, took a deep breath, and kicked the door open.

Instantly, a woman’s startled scream erupted from inside.

I quickly fumbled for the light cord by the door and pulled. The room flooded with light.

What met my eyes were two pale, naked bodies, still entangled and joined together.

Bai Hezhi, like a frightened little rabbit, covered her chest and hid beneath Shen Jincheng.

When Shen Jincheng saw me, his eyes widened in shock, and he quickly pulled away from Bai Hezhi.

He grabbed a thin quilt and threw it over his naked mistress.

“Chun-Chunyan, you… aren’t you…?”

The flush on Shen Jincheng’s face hadn’t fully faded, and the hair at his temples was damp with sweat. He scrambled to put on his pants.

Then he noticed Lu Junrong. “Who are you!”

Lu Junrong ignored him.

Displaying the professional quality expected of a famous director, he held the camera steadily, found the right angle, and focused the lens right on Bai Hezhi’s face.

Shen Jincheng was furious. “What is that in your hand? Are you recording?! Stop recording!”

With that, he grabbed a stool and swung it directly at Lu Junrong’s head.

I shouted in alarm, “Mr. Lu, watch out!”

Lu Junrong instinctively raised his arm to block the blow and kicked Shen Jincheng in the stomach.

Shen Jincheng was sent reeling back several steps, his lower back hitting the edge of the desk, which was the only thing that kept him from falling.

Lu Junrong closed the camera and carefully tucked it into his bag.

He strode over, grabbed Shen Jincheng by the throat, and slammed him to the floor in an instant. Simultaneously, he twisted Shen Jincheng’s arm behind his back, pinning him down firmly.

His movements were clean and efficient; he had definitely been trained.

Shen Jincheng struggled violently, questioning me, “Xu Chunyan, who is he? You dare to cheat on me?!”

Just then, a noise came from outside.

Auntie Zhang, the neighbor, called out, “Teacher Shen, Xiao Xu, what’s going on?”

I went out and smiled at the few neighbors who had gathered to watch the commotion. “It’s nothing. A rat snuck in, and Teacher Shen and I are catching it.”

After saying that, I closed the door and looked at the shivering Bai Hezhi on the bed. Then, I walked slowly over to Shen Jincheng.

“Let’s talk.”
