Chapter 122 Deviation (44)
Chapter 122 Deviation (44)
That was a male celebrity named Fu Rong, who became famous at a young age and won a grand slam of major awards by the age of thirty. He was a true film emperor.
Fu Rong presents himself to the public as a detached and indifferent old cadre, but in reality, he is greedy and loves to play.
He met Su Er on a travel program. They hit it off immediately and, avoiding the filming crew, made love in a foreign country's restroom.
For nearly three years, the two maintained a purely physical relationship.
All of this is predicated on the fact that Fu Rong has a publicly acknowledged girlfriend.
His girlfriend's name is Ji Jing, and she once appeared on a dating reality show with Fu Rong.
She is an academic, somewhat reserved, but outstanding in her field. In her early thirties, she is already an associate professor at a well-known university.
In the original novel, because of the female lead's powerful aura, any man who had a physical relationship with Su Er would be unable to forget her and would be unable to see any other woman.
Fu Rong was an exception. Although he also liked Su Er, he had no possessiveness towards her. Every time they met, they would have passionate encounters, and after they were done, they would go their separate ways and do whatever they wanted.
Su Er's sexually transmitted disease was most likely transmitted from Fu Rong, who had numerous sexual partners.
If Fu Rong is sick, then Ji Jing has most likely been infected as well.
Once it's confirmed that Ji Jing and Fu Rong are infected, Yan Zhen can be pretty sure that the protagonists' protagonist aura has collectively failed.
It wasn't difficult to contact Ji Jing. Yan Zhen found the contact number for the office at her university, called it, and asked someone to transfer her to the next person.
Less than five minutes later, Ji Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is Ji Jing."
Ji Jing's voice was soft and light. Combined with her stiff and uninteresting performance when Fu Rong took her to the dating reality show, Yan Zhen guessed that Fu Rong was with her more as an accessory to decorate his "old cadre" persona.
"Hello, Professor Ji." Yan Zhen organized her thoughts. "I am the wife of your boyfriend's lover's lover."
Ji Jing was stunned, her mind not quite processing what was going on: "What?"
Yan Zhen spent two minutes explaining the relationship between Fu Rong, Su Er, Zhou Yan, and Ming Yiwei to Ji Jing. After listening, Ji Jing remained silent for a long time.
“My husband was diagnosed with a high-risk sexually transmitted disease during a routine check-up at the hospital a few days ago. His only sexual partner is Su Er, and Su Er is having a physical relationship with your boyfriend. If you have had intimate contact with Mr. Fu recently, I suggest you also get tested.”
This news was a huge blow to Ji Jing. After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "Okay... thank you."
Yan Zhen hung up the phone, and Zhou Rang came out with a bowl of noodles.
The seafood noodles looked delicious and looked appetizing, making Yan Zhen's mouth water. While she focused on eating, Zhou Rang got up to tidy up the guest room.
After making the bed and tidying the wardrobe, he put Yan Zhen's fingerprint on the door lock.
After everything was taken care of, Zhou Rang said, "I have something to do at the company, so I have to go there. You stay here and don't go out for the time being."
At this point, he thought for a moment and added, "I'll come back at noon and cook for you."
Yan Zhen didn't refuse: "Okay."

In a private room of a high-end club in Fengcheng, Zhou Yan was awakened by his cell phone ringing.
Last night, after leaving the Zhou family's old house, he didn't want to go back to the villa, so he invited some friends to a club for drinks.
The group got quite drunk, and he simply slept at the club.
Still feeling dizzy and lightheaded from the hangover, Zhou Yan pulled out his phone and answered, "Hello?"
The person on the other end of the phone said a few words, and Zhou Yan immediately sat up: "What?"
The commotion was so loud that it startled several of his cronies who were lying haphazardly nearby, and they all woke up.
"Zhou Yan, what's wrong?"
"What happened?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan's face was extremely pale.
Several of his investment projects either failed or faced crises, and one of his companies was also placed under risk control, resulting in losses of up to hundreds of millions overnight.
After a brief moment of confusion, Zhou Yan was almost certain that someone was deliberately targeting him.
He immediately thought of Zhou Rang.
But he couldn't understand what he had done to offend Zhou Rang, and why he was targeting him.
Just then, his phone rang again. It was Su Er calling, asking him for a small favor—a wealthy businesswoman she was on good terms with was having a birthday party, and Su Er wasn't in Fengcheng. She asked Zhou Yan to go to a luxury store to help her choose a gift and personally deliver it to the businesswoman's house.
Zhou Yan agreed.
Su Er noticed something was off about his tone and casually asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment before telling her what had happened in the past few days: "I suspect that my third uncle is targeting me, but I have no grudge against him, so he shouldn't do such a thing."
Speaking of Zhou Rang, Su Er recalled the time she almost got burned by his lighter in the stairwell. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't think it's necessarily your third uncle."
"Then who could it be?"
"Don't forget, you have a young wife who knows about our relationship," Su Er said mockingly. "If we're talking about deep-seated hatred, isn't her hatred for you much deeper than anyone else's?"
Zhou Yan had his doubts about Ming Yiwei, but she simply didn't have that much ability.
"Whether it's her or not, you can find out by investigating. This woman is no innocent little rabbit. She's bold, smart, and calm. We've both fallen for her twice already. Why can't you learn your lesson?"
Reminded by Su Er, Zhou Yan found Ming Yiwei increasingly suspicious.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask her now."
When Zhou Yan returned to the villa from the club, he almost bumped into a bodyguard who was hurrying out.
He was already in a bad mood, and suddenly became annoyed: "What are you doing, all flustered!"
The bodyguard looked tense: "Boss, Madam is missing."
Zhou Yan was taken aback.
They searched the entire villa and finally saw Yan Zhen carrying a bag, getting into a car and leaving, on the surveillance footage at the north gate.
She actually dared to run away!
Zhou Yan was furious and ordered his bodyguard to check the car's license plate number. He then immediately called Yan Zhen.
He hadn't expected to get through on the phone, since the woman had already run away, she certainly wouldn't answer his calls anymore.
But unexpectedly, the call was answered after ringing twice.
Yan Zhen was sitting on Zhou Rang's huge sofa, playing a game on the big screen. Her hands were full, and she had to hold her phone between her ear and shoulder: "What's up?"
Provoked by her nonchalant attitude, Zhou Yan's temper flared up, and he immediately roared, "Where have you been? Get back here right now!"
"I won't go back, what can you do to me?"
"Then you'd better pray I don't come looking for me," Zhou Yan said viciously, while signaling to his bodyguard to locate Yan Zhen's cell phone signal.
Yan Zhen laughed: "I'm at my third uncle's house. Come over if you dare."
Zhou Yan was stunned.
The bodyguard in charge of checking the license plate came over and whispered, "The owner's name is Fang Tianqi, he's from Fengcheng, and his phone number is..."
Zhou Yan raised his hand to signal him to shut up, and it took his stuck mind a while to start working again.
