It was already evening when Li Jingchen returned to the office. He had three meetings today and also visited Zhao Mei in prison.

Jiang Tong was waiting for him in his lounge, mainly because he had locked the door of the room and she couldn't get out.

Her cell phone was not with her.

When Li Jingchen came back after finishing all his work, Jiang Tong sat on the windowsill and looked outside. Li Jingchen said nothing, but put the new clothes he bought for her aside.

"I'll wait for you outside. Put on your clothes and I'll take you back."

"Wait, where's my phone?"

"In my car." Li Jingchen said and walked out.

Jiang Tong then remembered that they had been having a passionate sex in the car last night and she dropped her phone but he didn't let her pick it up.

Li Jingchen had been sitting outside waiting for Jiang Tong.

I've been waiting for a while, why hasn't Jiang Tong come out yet?

He stood up, walked over and knocked on the door.

Without hearing any noise, Li Jingchen pushed the door open and walked in, and what he saw was the woman's fair and round back.

Jiang Tong was fastening the strap of her bra, and a strand of hair was entangled in the buckle.

"Do you need my help?"

"No need." Jiang Tong said, "I can untie it myself."

Seeing that she was sweating profusely, with one button on the third row and another button on the second row, Li Jingchen wondered how to unbutton them.

He still came over and held her belt, "Let go."

Jiang Tong's face turned red and she slowly loosened her hand. The man's hot breath sprayed on the back of her neck. She was stiff all over and didn't dare to move.

I only heard two clicks from the back and the buttons were buttoned.

Jiang Tong tilted her head slightly and paused before saying thank you. Her lips brushed across his tall nose.

The two looked at each other...

Li Jingchen was the first to let go of her hand and helped her gather her long hair to the front.

"Hurry up and put on your clothes." After saying that, Li Jingchen walked out again. The man's attitude towards her was extremely cold.

Jiang Tong put on her clothes quickly.

The two men left the office. The company was empty and they walked through the underground parking lot.

Li Jingchen said after getting on the elevator, "Some things require that you ask for help."

Jiang Tong lowered her head, "We've broken up, how can I still ask you to help me do such a private thing."

"I'm not talking about that."

Li Jingchen looked at Jiang Tong seriously, "What kind of place is Jinquetai? How dare you go there alone?"

The elevator door opened and Jiang Tong walked out, explaining, "I knew it was a casino, but I didn't know it would be so dark inside."

"There are so many things you don't know. Just because you haven't come into contact with them doesn't mean they don't exist."

"Oh... I understand. I won't do it again." Jiang Tong admitted that she was in the wrong.

"I've heard that enough, you know? I've said it to you so many times and you won't learn your lesson anyway."

Jiang Tong choked and didn't argue with him. She got into the car and took the phone. Then she said, "I want to find the real Lv Bingyu."

"What is the real Lü Bingyu?"

"I went to the prison to see Lv Bingyu. She was fake."

Li Jingchen fell silent suddenly, tightened his grip on the steering wheel and said, "Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it anymore."

"I can't turn a blind eye. I want to find her. I want to persuade her to surrender so that she can tell all of Shao Shixu's crimes. I want to help you eliminate Shao Shixu."

"I told you, don't meddle in other people's business." Li Jingchen gripped the steering wheel with his hands, veins bulging on the back of his hands.

Jiang Tong turned on the recording on her phone and gave the recording she had made to Li Jingchen.

Her intermittent voice was trembling a little...

"Shao Shixu asked me to come here. He won't let you go..."

"I'm afraid of him for using women to smuggle?"

The recording is not finished yet—

A big hand suddenly grabbed her cell phone and threw it into the back seat without saying a word.

What came right in front of me was a low shout from the man.

“Who needs you to record this?”

Li Jingchen met Jiang Tong's surprised eyes, his look was so distant.

"Don't you know your own weight? Do you think that recording this can catch him or something?"

"I just want to help."

"I don't need it, stop being so sentimental."

It turned out that she was the one who moved herself. Jiang Tong's voice seemed to be paused by a knife.

"Well, I see."

Her heart ached so much that it seemed to burst. She clenched her fingers tightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm meddling in other people's business."

"I'm glad you know." Li Jingchen drove the car expressionlessly without looking at her again.

Jiang Tong turned her eyes away, tears welling up in her eyes, but she was stubborn and refused to turn her head around.

She is such a fool, meddling in other people's business.

Mind your own business!

"Please stop the car and find an intersection to drop me off."

"We're almost there. It's not that far away. This is the last time I'll take you there. You should be more careful in the future and avoid going to those shady places."

"Well, thank you for your advice, but in what capacity do you teach me this? We are both separated."

"You also know that we broke up, and I can't protect you forever."

"Yeah." Jiang Tong still refused to look at him.

The two of them said nothing more until the car arrived at Dongshan Villa, and the silence along the way overwhelmed her.

"Thank you for sending me back."

Not wanting him to see her tears, Jiang Tong was about to get out of the car when Li Jingchen stopped her.

"I am serious about what I said today. Don't meddle in my business anymore."

"I didn't expect you to appreciate it," Jiang Tong sniffed, "Don't worry, I won't be so self-indulgent in the future."

"Well, I'm tired too. It's come to this. I've done what I should do. I don't want to get entangled with you anymore, including anyone in your family. We shouldn't have been in touch a long time ago except for the matter of the child. Just sign this."

Li Jingchen handed over a document.

Jiang Tong looked at the decisive words written on the breakup agreement.

Her hands couldn't help but tremble.

"Sign this. We have drawn some clear boundaries between us. From now on, I, Li Jingchen, and you, Jiang Tong, will have nothing to do with each other."

The pen was already prepared, and Li Jingchen handed it to her.

"..." Jiang Tong was silent for a long time before he uttered the word "good" from his throat.

It was three full pages long, and included details about the transfer of several houses in Nan Di, drawing a clear line between them and indicating that they would have no relationship at all from now on.

That's good. There's no reason for her to not cooperate.

Jiang Tong took the pen and signed his name forcefully in the lower right corner.

She didn't want to read the regulations inside, so she gave it to him.

Thank him, for he held her in his arms last night and wished he could melt her into his bones and blood, and for giving her such a "surprise" today.

"I will have nothing to do with you from now on."

"it is good."

"..."

Jiang Tong stopped talking and got out of the car. Li Jingchen was like a petrified statue, and then he looked at her back.

There was a flash of pain in the depths of his eyes.

There are still her tears on the first page.
