Fu Jin took out his phone and called Jiang Jingchen. The call went through.

“Jiang Jingchen, did you lock the door?”

“Weren’t you the one who locked the door? I just did the same when I left.”

Fu Jin cursed in a low voice, “Jiang Jingchen, I locked the door earlier because I

went to look for Fang Han. I wanted her to help you!”

“Oh, I locked the door so that you two could have some sweet time inside.

You’re welcome.”

“Thankyou my as*.”

Fu Jin was so angry that he cursed. “The toilet is dirty and smelly. There’s no

sweetness in it. Jiang Jingchen, you…”

Before he could finish his scolding, the phone vibrated and a woman’s crisp

voice sounded. “You’re thanking the wrong person!”

■■You can thank me anyway. Also, sweetness is made. Fu Jin, you were the one who didn’t open the door. How can you blame us for not opening the door for you?”

There was no way to communicate, so Fu Jin hung up the phone.

Fu Jin comforted Fang Han, “If someone outside knows, someone will probably open the door.”

“Is anyone there? Help…”

Before Fu Jin could finish his sentence, the bathroom light went off in an

instant.

The bathroom fell into darkness. Fang Han subconsciously grabbed Fu Jin in

fear.

Fu Jin was also shocked. Why did the bathroom light suddenly turn off?

“What’s going on?” Fang Han’s scalp went numb.

Fu Jin grabbed her hand and took two steps back. He took out his phone and pressed 1 before facing the door.

He whispered to Fang Han, “Turn on your phone too and check the surroundings. Don’t worry, we’ve checked the washroom just now. There’s no one there. If the other party wants to harm us, they can either leave us here, come in through the window, or open the door.”

“Could it be Jiang Jingchen’s prank?”

“No, I was on the phone with Jiang Jingchen just now. There were car sounds

and some sirens on the roadside, which means they have already left.”

Fang Han was surprised by his keen senses. She used the flashlight function of her phone to check her surroundings.

“It’s like a haunted house. Is this a scary scene in the toilet?”

Fu Jin chuckled softly. “You’re already scared. It’s just that the lights went out.

Fang Han straightened her neck. “I’m not afraid. What’s there to be afraid of in the dark?”

Fu Jin understood now. His girlfriend was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of the dark.

“I’m not afraid either. I’ll accompany you!”

Fang Han glanced at him and looked away, pretending to be calm.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door lock twisting.

Fu Jin’s eyes were deep as he gestured to Fang Han to turn off the light on her phone and step back.

He turned around and picked up the mop from the toilet. He held the mop tightly.

Just as the door slowly opened, the people outside tried to look in.

The person slowly opened the door and tried to pour a bottle of liquid in. Fu Jin found an opportunity to suddenly push the door with a mop and close it.

Clang!

The door closed again. The person seemed to have been frightened. The bottle

in his hand fell and he ran away.

Fu Jin quickly opened the door and checked the situation.

The other party had already disappeared. He squatted down to check the small bottle.

Fang Han quickly turned on her phone and squatted down to see what it was.

Fu Jin quickly grabbed her wrist.

“Can’t you smell it?”

“I think I do.”

Fu Jin examined it carefully and said, “This is very likely aqua dire. It’s a very corrosive liquid.”

Fang Han was stunned for a few seconds and thought about the chemistry she had learned in the past. “It’s a mixture of sulfuric acid and salt. It can even dissolve the metals, right?”

“Yes. Someone wants to harm us. Who could it be?

Fu Jin took photos and left evidence, but he still didn’t dare to touch it. He had to call a professional to take samples. Otherwise, he would be injured.

The person Fu Jin called over gasped in fear when he saw that he was unharmed. Fu Jin looked at him.

Fu Jin glanced at the woman beside him and shook his head at the person, hinting that he was fine and asking him to leave quickly.

The man made a respectful gesture to leave before turning around and disappearing into the crowd.

Fu Jin called the police and asked professionals to deal with these things. Otherwise, if these things were left here, they would also endanger the guests here.

Two people immediately brought Fang Han to check the surveillance cameras.

They found someone wearing a hat hiding in a corner when Fu Jin locked the door and went to look for Fang Han.

The person was wearing a hat, and his style was neutral. It was impossible to tell if he was a man or a woman.

When they were locked inside, that person appeared again. However, the power suddenly went out and the surroundings were dark, so the situation after that was unclear.

Fang Han was confused, “Fu Jin, do you think the person wanted to harm you or Jiang Jingchen?”

It was Jiang Jingchen who had been locked inside at first. But after they came, Jiang Jingchen took Tang Beibei away. That person might not know that the person inside has changed.

Fu Jin was also thinking. “Both possibilities exist. We still have to discuss it with Jiang Jingchen.”

However, Fu Jin added, “Look, Jiang Jingchen did take Tang Beibei to the men’s bathroom. I didn’t lie to you.”

Fang Han glanced at him and hooked her shirt again. “I know. I’m just teasing you. I was looking for an excuse to kiss you. Are you unhappy?”

Fu Jin was stunned. Tsk! This sister really had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. “Don’t you want anything to happen between us?” Fang Han asked.

“I do, but the time is not right. I have to deal with this matter first.”

Fu Jin called Jiang Jingchen and told him about this. Jiang Jingchen said that he would ask Ji Yi to come over and investigate.

Ji Yi acted quickly as well. He came over to talk to Fu Jin and began to investigate.

Two hours later, Jiang Jingchen carried the sleepy woman out of the bathroom.

He covered her with the blanket and kissed her forehead.

“Be good and sleep.”

Tang Beibei tugged at his hand, reluctant to let go. “Will you accompany me?”

“Yes, sleep tight.”

Seeing that he wasn’t leaving, Tang Beibei rubbed her face against his palm and closed her eyes.

Jiang Jingchen waited for her breathing to slow down and sleep soundly before he took his hand away. Then, he turned to leave the bedroom.

He went downstairs to contact Ji Yi and ask about the situation.

“The suspect has disguised herself, but we can still tell that she’s a woman. We’re still gathering other information.”

“Call Ji San and cooperate with you. We must find her. Whether she wants to harm to me or Fu Jin, we must find her.

Ji Yi was puzzled. “Young Master, Fu Jin seems to be your love rival. Do you still want to help him?”

“Fake love rival. He’s my wife’s captain. If anything happens to him, my wife’s career will be affected.”

Alright then. Ji Yi glanced at the fake love rival. He had a beautiful girlfriend by his side.

“What did Jiang Jingchen say?” Fu Jin asked Ji Yi.

Ji Yi replied, “Mr. Chen asked me to continue investigating. Fu Jin, think about it seriously. Who did you provoke recently? Or do you have some hidden enemies?”

Fu Jin’s expression was gloomy. He really had a lot of enemies.

“A lot. I’m not sure about the other party’s situation either.

Ji Yi frowned.

Looking at Fu Jin’s expression, he felt that this kid was not simple.

Fu Jin was very likely to be a hornet’s nest. If he was not careful, he would be surrounded by those stinging bees.. Everyone around Fu Jin would be in danger!
