Chapter 248: No Saving You
Chen Shi asked, “What are you planning to do?”
“Settle accounts with her! By the way, I don’t know her current address. You’ll have to help me. You must have good connections with the police, right?”
“You can find her, but don’t do anything rash.”
“I won’t! I just want to sew her up with a needle and thread… Haha, just kidding!” Wang Daji laughed, patting Chen Shi on the shoulder. “I love your reactions. I actually care about her. I’m not going to hurt her. I plan to give her money and let her leave.”
“Really?”
“Swear on it.”
“What’s my wife’s name?”
“Su Ruijuan! Here’s her ID number…”
Chen Shi took out his phone and called a police officer he had worked with before. After some small talk, he asked him to find Su Ruijuan’s current address. The officer found it quickly and relayed the information to Chen Shi.
They drove to the neighborhood. On the way, Wang Daji kept boasting about his “glorious deeds” over the past few years. Chen Shi was exasperated. These weren’t glorious deeds; they were debts to be paid.
Wang Daji found Su Ruijuan’s place. Seeing the drawn curtains, he cursed, “There must be someone inside!” and stormed up the stairs.
Chen Shi hurried after him, stopping him before he could knock, “Calm down!”
“I’m calm!” Wang Daji panted.
From inside, they could hear a man and a woman moaning. Wang Daji muttered, “Bitch, cheating on me again!”
“Adultery isn’t a crime, but hitting people is. Go downstairs. I’ll handle this.”
“Why should I?”
Wang Daji pressed his ear to the door, muttering, “Bitch, found another guy… Damn, he’s good… She never screamed like that with me… This is pissing me off… I’m getting hard just from listening!”
Chen Shi, hearing his strange monologue, figured he might as well not interfere anymore.
He went up to the next floor and sat on the stairs, smoking, waiting for Wang Daji to finish.
Wang Daji was timing it. “I’ll knock when he’s about to finish. Scare him so bad he goes limp. Haha!”
Chen Shi rolled his eyes.
Hearing the man inside starting to climax, Wang Daji banged on the door, shouting, “Su Ruijuan, open up! Your man’s back! Don’t pretend I know someone’s in there.”
After five minutes, the door opened. Through the gap in the stair railing, Chen Shi saw a disheveled woman.
Wang Daji pushed her aside and stormed in, shouting, “Where’s the bastard hiding?”
“There’s no one here, you jerk! You’ve been gone for three years, leaving me lonely. Can’t I at least buy a toy for myself?”
“Oh, hiding in the washing machine, huh? Bro, I tried that one before. Doesn’t work!”
A scared male voice said, “I’m sorry, man.”
“Get lost!”
Then a shirtless man ran out, clutching his clothes, without even putting on shoes.
Wang Daji began berating his wife, “Explain that video to me!”
“What video?”
“You know what video!”
“You ran off, those assholes came after me, drugged me, and raped me. Now you come to blame me? How brave of you!”
“I’ve dealt with that asshole already. I watched it ten times. You were drugged? You seemed to enjoy it!”
“I’m a woman alone here, what was I supposed to do? Fight them? You never came back. I was left here alone, helpless…”
“Stop pretending! How many times did you cheat on me? Tell me!”
“So what if I did? You ran off like a coward! Your balls are only good for pissing?”
“Bitch, I’ll deal with you now!”
“Yeah, I’m a bitch. That’s why you love me.”
“Dammit, I’ll deal with you right now.”
Then there were sounds of a struggle, and Wang Daji said breathlessly, “You’re soaked, bitch!” followed by the woman’s laughter.
Chen Shi sighed. Why am I here listening to this?
Five minutes later, they seemed to be finished. They talked quietly. Chen Shi was getting impatient when Lin Dongxue messaged him, “I went to your place to find you.”
Chen Shi replied, “I’m out running an errand.”
Lin Dongxue didn’t respond. Chen Shi thought, Damn, this is bad, and went downstairs to knock on the door.
The woman inside said, “Someone’s outside?”
Wang Daji said, “That’s my new guy.”
“Why not invite him in? It’s cold in the hallway.”
“What for? A threesome? Keep dreaming!”
“Let me see what he looks like!”
“He looks as handsome as me!”
“Yeah, right. No one’s as handsome as my Chen.”
“Bitch, you’re so good at flattering. Let me teach you another lesson…”
Chen Shi knocked again. Wang Daji shouted, “Wait downstairs!” and muttered, “These new guys have no manners.”
The woman said, “If you have something to do, go ahead. Are you staying this time?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not leaving.”
“When will you marry me?”
“After I finish things here. Here, take this money.”
“Chen Shi, do you think I’m with you for money?”
“Aren’t you?”
They both laughed.
Hearing the door open, Chen Shi moved to the landing below. Wang Daji came down, buttoning his shirt, and glared at Chen Shi, “What’s the rush?”
“Family emergency.”
“Let’s go.”
Just then, Su Ruijuan followed, and with both “Chen Shis” standing on the landing, they would be exposed. Wang Daji quickly darted away.
Su Ruijuan approached Chen Shi, “Was that your guy who left?”
“Yeah, the disrespectful one,” Chen Shi mimicked Wang Daji’s tone.
Su Ruijuan looked down, “So rude. Didn’t even greet me.” She pulled Chen Shi’s hand, placing a charm in his palm. “I got this at the temple for your safety.”
Chen Shi had to accept it, “Thanks.”
Su Ruijuan suddenly hugged him, kissing him. Afraid of being found out, Chen Shi had to go along. As they shared a long kiss, Wang Daji was just below, silently raging.
After the kiss, Su Ruijuan held Chen Shi, “Stay safe. I don’t want anything else, just a peaceful life. Keep messing around, and I’ll keep cheating on you!”
“You bitch.”
“Yes, I am your bitch.”
Su Ruijuan smiled and leaned in for another kiss. Chen Shi stopped her, “I have to go.”
“I’ll be waiting.”
As Chen Shi went down, Su Ruijuan called out, “Take good care of your boss!”
Downstairs, Wang Daji laughed, “My girl’s tongue skills are top-notch, huh? But you haven’t experienced the other kind yet. Don’t you dare mess with her when I’m gone.”
Chen Shi wiped his mouth angrily, “Not everyone is as shameless as you.”
“Sigh, she’s just so wonderfully trashy. I love her.”
“You’re hopeless!”
