It wasn’t even nine o’clock when they finished eating the cake. Zhao Wu put his arm around Shen Jun’s shoulder and whispered, “You better not say that I didn’t help you. Just remember to use protection.”

Before Shen Jun could react to his uncle’s intentions, Zhao Wu released his hand and retrieved the car keys from his pocket, handing them over to Shen Jun. He then turned to Wen Nian with a smile and said, “You have class tomorrow, so let Shen Jun give you a ride home. I had a drink earlier and it wouldn’t be safe for me to drive. Besides, Shen Jun already stole my car once when he was just 14, so he’s definitely an experienced driver. You don’t have to worry about his driving skills!”

Despite being only 17 years old and having neither a driver’s license nor having reached the legal driving age, Shen Jun had already been driving for three years.

Wen Nian had long been aware that the laws and regulations of society often limited ordinary people. She knew that if Shen Jun encountered the traffic police, a simple phone call would suffice to resolve any issues. The officer might even have to apologize to him.

Wen Nian lamented the harsh realities of society in her heart, and realized that the gap between herself and them was like an insurmountable chasm. She still had a long way to go before catching up.

Wen Nian smiled and said goodbye to everyone. The two of them walked out of the private room.

As they walked past the private room next door, Wen Nian heard Chen Xiang’s raucous laughter seeping through the crack in the door. She halted in her tracks and a mischievous thought occurred to her. A sinister smile crept onto her lips as she decided to follow Shen Jun.

Shen Jun finally understood what Zhao Wu had meant and couldn’t help but feel a sense of helplessness. He couldn’t fathom what his uncle was always imagining. As he started the car, he asked, “Where do you live?”

Wen Nian recalled that there was a mall nearby. She blinked quickly and answered, “It’s in Fujing District, just up ahead.”

The clubhouse was in the suburbs, and Fujing District was at the edge of the city.

Shen Jun wasn’t familiar with the road conditions in Hai City, so he drove for almost ten minutes before arriving at the destination.

Shen Jun watched Wen Nian get out of the car and said, “Wen Nian, thank you for coming to my birthday party today.”

Wen Nian smiled in embarrassment. “I’m the one who should be embarrassed. I went to the event empty-handed.”

The corners of Shen Jun’s lips curled up slightly. “It’s fine as long as you were present. Hurry up and go in.”

Wen Nian nodded with a smile and reminded her with concern, “Drive slowly when you go back. Be careful.”

Shen Jun replied, “Okay.”

Watching as Wen Nian turned around and walked into her neighborhood, Shen Jun waited in the car for a few moments before driving away.

“Miss, what are you doing?”

An elderly voice sounded.

Wen Nian squatted behind the lush lawn of the green belt at the entrance of the district. Suddenly, a loud noise jolted her out of her reverie, causing her to spin around in surprise. It was then that she saw an old granny hobbling along, pulling a fluffy puppy behind her on a leash.

She smiled awkwardly. “Nothing much. I was doing squats.”

With that, Wen Nian swiftly left the district and made her way to a small shopping mall on the side of the road. She bought another bag to put the things she needed later and she deposited the bag at the counter.

Next, she hurried to the clothing store and quickly picked out a black coat, paying for it without hesitation. She slipped on the coat and tied up her hair, tucking her hair underneath her new black cap. Then, she wore a black mask. Finally, she hailed a taxi and instructed the driver to take her back to the entrance of the club.

There was a large parking lot at the entrance of the clubhouse. Wen Nian quickly located Chen Xiang’s car based on her memory of the license plate. She stealthily avoided the watchful eye of the security guard and proceeded to release most of the air from all four tires. Finally, she concealed herself beside the entrance road of the parking lot.

Wen Nian waited for more than an hour before she saw Chen Xiang get into the car with a woman in his arms. Wen Nian immediately got into a taxi waiting for customers at the side.

The driver was a middle-aged woman who took a quick glance at Wen Nian, who was covered head to toe, and wasn’t sure whether to address her as “Sir” or “Miss”. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to forgo the title and simply asked with a smile, “Hello, where can I take you?”

Wen Nian’s gaze was fixed on the entrance, and when she spotted the familiar license plate number, she said to the driver, “Follow that car!”

The driver could tell that Wen Nian was a young girl, and felt that her age was too young to be suspicious. Despite this, she maintained a professional demeanor and replied, “Okay, Miss.”

Soon, they arrived at a traffic light. As soon as Chen Xiang’s car passed the intersection, the red street lights began to flash yellow. The auntie subconsciously wanted to stop.

Wen Nian saw through the auntie’s intentions and quickly said, “Auntie, that’s my father and his mistress. I want to take photos of the evidence of his affair and fight for my mother’s divorce assets!”

When the auntie heard this, her sense of justice exploded. She stepped on the accelerator and rushed out in front of the red light to catch up to Chen Xiang’s gray car. “Don’t worry. With my driving skills, you won’t lose them!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the car in front of them stopped crookedly by the roadside. The auntie also slowed down and stopped by the roadside a few meters away.

Seeing Chen Xiang getting out of the car to check the tires, Wen Nian quickly glanced at the meter and handed the auntie 20 yuan, saying, “Auntie, keep the change. I’ll get off here. Thank you..”
