Chapter 158: Miss Wen, You Look Rather Wretched

Tang Yan's good mood vanished completely into thin air due to He Zhi's sudden disappearance.

She dialed He Zhi's number over fifty times in one go.

The phone on the other end still went unanswered.

Tang Yan was boiling with rage, yet she could not find him anywhere.

Bai Yan promised to help her look for him.

Tang Yan waited all the way until evening. Feeling utterly miserable inside, she dragged Wen Shuang to a bar to drink.

When women are heartbroken, they order drinks glass after glass. Regardless of the alcohol percentage, as long as it could drown her sorrows, she poured it straight into her stomach!

"Shuangshuang, after playing the field for so many years, I think I've finally met my nemesis. He Zhi is my absolute nemesis, my destined tribulation!"

Tang Yan violently gulped down a large mouthful of alcohol.

Wen Shuang pressed down on her hand. "Yanyan, drink a little less! Drinking this much is bad for your health. Besides, we still don't know for sure if He Zhi is looking for his ex-girlfriend. Maybe something came up at his company, so don't overthink it!"

"With that playboy of a guy, what the hell would he know about company matters!"

During the half year or so that Tang Yan and He Zhi had been together, she understood him far too well!

He Zhi was simply a rich second-generation heir who only muddied the waters at the company, but when it came to pampering women, he had a whole arsenal of tricks.

He Zhi treated her with meticulous care in every possible way.

She had dated many men in the past—mature uncles, younger college guys, ascetic lawyers, aloof doctors. No matter the type, whether younger or older, she had basically dated them all!

Yet no one suited her taste quite like He Zhi!

It was a degree of compatibility that spanned from the physical all the way to the soul.

Tang Yan felt she had truly fallen hard into his hands.

Had it been in the past, if a man acted like this, she would have turned and left without a second thought, never looking back.

And now, unable to find him, she had actually resorted to drowning her sorrows in alcohol.

Wen Shuang let out a long sigh. "When he comes back, have it out with him and ask clearly! If he really got tangled up with an ex-girlfriend, then just cut ties and be done with it. Anyway, even if a man is gone, we can always find another one!"

Just like when she broke up with Ji Shen—it was quite painful at first, but now, without Ji Shen, living alone was actually quite pleasant.

It was just that whenever she occasionally remembered him, there was still a faint ache.

Tang Yan shook her head, however. "Shuangshuang, I have a premonition... This time, I can't be that decisive! I have... truly fallen in love with He Zhi. You have no idea how wonderful he is when he treats me well. No matter how casually I mention something, he remembers it firmly in his heart and makes it happen for me the very next day. On any holiday, he always brings me endless surprises. Most importantly, his appearance completely hits every single one of my preferences! And his personality—whatever I say, he catches the reference and keeps the conversation going. I love that about him too."

Indeed.

Purely in terms of appearance, He Zhi stood out exceptionally among a crowd of wealthy heirs.

He was the epitome of aristocratic elegance blended with a lazy charm.

No wonder Tang Yan was so captivated she couldn't tear herself away; any woman would find him heart-flutteringly irresistible!

Just yesterday, Tang Yan was lying in He Zhi's arms, and the man had sworn with absolute certainty that he would treat her well for a lifetime.

Yet today, he had suddenly vanished!

Tang Yan simply could not accept this precipitous, cliff-like drop in reality!

She drank away her sorrows, gulping down drink after drink frantically.

Wen Shuang had no wish to dampen Tang Yan's spirits either, so whenever Tang Yan offered a toast, she downed it in one go.

Two beauties sitting in a bustling bar naturally attracted a few male gazes filled with malicious intent before long.

"Hey beauties, are you just drinking by yourselves? Isn't it too lonely for just the two of you? Why don't you come drink with us!" A greasy-looking middle-aged man sidled up to them.

Wen Shuang refused, "Sorry, we're not interested!"

She grabbed Tang Yan, intending to leave.

However, that greasy man had completely set his sights on them. Both Wen Shuang and Tang Yan not only possessed stunning figures, but their faces were also breathtaking—completely rivaling female celebrities on television.

Without another word, the greasy man grabbed Tang Yan's wrist. "Oh come on, little sister, it's fate that we crossed paths. Why don't we just hang out together!"

Tang Yan raised her hand and smashed a bottle straight over his head. "Who the hell do you think you're touching, get lost! Don't put your filthy paws on me!"

Tang Yan was already in a terrible mood, and on top of that, she was drunk.

Her strike was exceptionally fierce.

The greasy man was furious. "You stinking bitch, how dare you hit me! Looks like you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You're dead today!"

Seeing that this group of people also had henchmen backing them up, Wen Shuang hurriedly called the police!

With lightning-fast speed, she dialed her emergency contact. She had barely managed to spit out two words before her phone was smashed to pieces by one of the men!

"You stinking bitch still trying to call the cops! What the fuck are you dreaming about? Daring to lay a hand on me, let's see how I'll deal with you two stinking bitches today!"

Tang Yan violently hurled a stool at them!

The ringleader suddenly slapped her across the face!

Wen Shuang screamed in terror, "Yanyan—!"

Driven to madness, Tang Yan began smashing wine bottles wildly in all directions.

The entire bar descended into absolute chaos!

To protect Tang Yan, Wen Shuang also took several heavy blows before police sirens finally wailed outside.

"Stop right there!"

Hearing that voice, Wen Shuang instantly froze!

She turned her head and saw Ji Shen, whom she hadn't seen in over a month, standing right before her!

The man wore a police uniform, his facial features as sharp and indifferent as ever.

The faint scar across his brow made him look even colder and more stern.

To Wen Shuang, it felt like a lifetime away.

Having previously agreed not to see each other, they really hadn't met for a very long time.

Moving with agility, Ji Shen swiftly subdued the troublemakers and slapped handcuffs on them.

The greasy man was heavily drunk, yet still spoke with unbridled arrogance, "You stinking bitches, you better watch out, just wait for me!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Ji Shen delivered a vicious kick to him.

"Shut your mouth!"

The greasy man was stunned by the blow before shrieking at the top of his lungs, "Police brutality! The police are beating people!"

Catching sight of the red welts on Wen Shuang's arm, Ji Shen dealt him another slap. "So what if I beat scum like you? Bullying women, daring to lay hands on a woman—you deserved to be beaten!"

The surrounding onlookers also began pointing fingers at the greasy man in condemnation!

Still refusing to yield, the greasy man argued stubbornly, "The two of them dressed so revealingly, weren't they just deliberately coming out to seduce men? Knowing full well they look good, yet they still come to a nightclub to play—if that isn't intentional, what is?"

Right in front of everyone, Wen Shuang delivered a crisp slap across his face. "We can wear whatever we please, it's none of your cheap bastard business! Do you think women dressing nicely is purely to please you men? What kind of delusional pipe dream are you living in, you arrogant narcissist!"

The greasy man opened his mouth to hurl more abuse, but was cowed back into silence by Ji Shen's frigid, piercing gaze!

Officer Xiao Zhang was remarkably tactful. "Captain Ji, you stay here to handle the cleanup. The rest of us will take this guy back to the precinct, and we definitely won't let him off easily!"

He still vividly remembered how their Captain Ji had received a phone call half an hour ago and bolted out like a madman!

Ji Shen gave a faint, quiet nod.

Wen Shuang exerted all her effort to help the heavily intoxicated Tang Yan to her feet. The two of them looked quite disheveled at the moment—their hair straying in disarray, the collars of their clothes slightly tugged open, though by no means as revealing as that greasy man had claimed.

Wen Shuang was wearing long pants and a short-sleeved top, while Tang Yan was merely wearing a dress.

Xiao Zhang glanced back over his shoulder, watching as their Captain Ji closed in closer and closer to Sister Shuang, knowing deep down that a reconciliation this time around was an absolute certainty!

Playing the hero saving the damsel in distress at the most critical juncture.

Who on earth could resist falling for that!

Wen Shuang also instinctively uttered a word of gratitude.

However, Ji Shen's gaze remained chillingly aloof. "Miss Wen, ever since breaking up with me, have you been living your life in such a pathetic mess?"
