The Fish Was Caught

"Is this the feast?"

Jessica looked at the chef cooking rice noodles in the extremely upscale restaurant before her, somewhat surprised.

"You like it, don't you? I specifically had a chef brought over from the East."

A rich fragrance suddenly filled her nose, and Jessica's eyes widened involuntarily. "Smells amazing."

"Eat."

Before long, two bowls of rice noodles were served.

Jessica could no longer hold herself back and started eating. It was not long before she let out a satisfied burp.

"And this, a gift for you."

Shen Fei suddenly took out a box and placed it on the table.

Jessica looked at Shen Fei suspiciously. "You're not proposing to me, are you? We haven't known each other that long."

"Hahaha, not quite. Open it and take a look."

Shen Fei said with a smile.

Jessica opened the box. Under the light, the necklace inside gleamed brilliantly. Most importantly, a string of diamonds in the middle had been arranged into a name.

Jessica's name.

In that instant, Jessica felt as if she had been struck hard on the head.

No woman disliked shiny things. Women were all dragons.

If they claimed not to like them, the most likely reason was that they had not been dazzling enough.

Besides, Jessica's first title had been "Jewel."

That alone showed how much she loved gemstones.

"Th-this... is for me?" Jessica asked in disbelief.

"Yeah."

Shen Fei had been preparing this for a long time. Now that he felt the timing was right, it was time to take it out.

"Let me put it on for you."

Shen Fei took it from the box, walked over to Jessica, and put it around her neck.

"Does it look good?" Jessica asked with a smile.

"It does."

Shen Fei nodded.

"If I look so good, aren't you going to invite me for a drink?"

Jessica was more forward than she had ever been as she spoke with a smile.

"If you want to."

Shen Fei watched the ripples rise in Jessica's eyes. He had finally won her over.

Jessica had cost him the most effort. Unfortunately, he did not have Purple Man's ability to control people. Otherwise, none of this would have been so troublesome.

It had forced him to squeeze in studies of romance and psychology alongside his research.

He had worked hard for so long.

At last, he was about to taste the sweet fruit.

Inside the room, Jessica sat across from Shen Fei with a radiant smile.

Each of them swirled a glass of red wine in hand. Jessica suddenly asked, "Do you really like me?"

"Of course. The moment I first saw you, I fell for you."

"I hope so. I actually hate being lied to. Would you lie to me?"

Jessica continued asking.

"No. What's wrong?"

Shen Fei asked, somewhat puzzled. Jessica shook her head. "Nothing."

She picked up her wineglass and sniffed it.

After sniffing it, she said suspiciously, "This wine smells too good."

"I blended it myself. You can try it."

"Is it good?"

"It is."

"You wouldn't lie to me, would you?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Jessica drank the red wine, then suddenly shook her head. "Your wine makes me a little dizzy."

"You're not trying to get me drunk, then..."

Shen Fei said with a smile, "I blended this wine myself. It gives people a floating, euphoric feeling."

"Is that so? It tastes good."

Jessica shook her head again.

"But... I'm too dizzy."

Jessica could not help throwing herself at Shen Fei. Breathing in her fragrance as she fell into his arms, Shen Fei thought, Finally got her.

How could someone who drank so often get dizzy from just two glasses? The inner walls of the glass had been coated with Neurotoxin.

Because of Jessica's superhuman physique, he had even added a little extra.

Shen Fei took out his phone and said, "It's settled..."

Suddenly, Jessica, whose eyes had been tightly shut, opened them at once. She raised her head and stared at Shen Fei, clarity in her eyes. "What is settled?"

Shen Fei lowered his head to meet Jessica's gaze, revealing a faint smile. "I said you're settled."

The next second, Jessica swung her fist and punched Shen Fei in the abdomen, only to find that he seemed completely unaffected.

"Why did you lie to me?!"

"Why did you lie to me?! Why did you lie to me?!"

Jessica stared at Shen Fei, her voice growing increasingly hysterical, her face filled with fury!

Shen Fei stood and took two steps back. "I'm more curious about how you found out."

"Someone told me Matt had disappeared.

I used a few methods to investigate, and Klaw had taken him away. And someone sent me a message saying that the transaction had been an act!

You knew Klaw all along. You only pretended to be injured that time!"

Jessica stared at Shen Fei. When she had learned the truth, she had nearly broken down.

Shen Fei's appearance had been like a ray of light breaking through the darkness in her heart, but the facts she uncovered told her otherwise.

Everything had been for a purpose.

"Remember this! I'm letting you go this time! If I ever see you again, you're dead!"

Jessica looked at Shen Fei, and every ripple in her eyes turned cold.

Yet the warmth Shen Fei had given her during this period had pulled her out of her slump.

She would spare him this once!

"Wait."

Shen Fei suddenly called out to Jessica.

"What else do you want?"

Jessica turned back and glared at Shen Fei.

"Don't you feel dizzy?"

"You think those drugs can knock me out? Before coming here, I already went to the pharmacy and took some medicine!"

"No, since you knew I had an ulterior motive toward you, why did you still accept the necklace I gave you? Weren't you worried there was something wrong with it?"

The next second, Jessica felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck.

"You! Why?! Why did even the gift you gave me have a mechanism in it?!"

Jessica was completely devastated. When Shen Fei had given her the necklace,

she had truly believed Shen Fei liked her.

But why did even the necklace have a trap?!

Unable to suppress her fury any longer, she stomped and threw a punch at Shen Fei. As if he had predicted it, Shen Fei rolled to the side, landing right beside the bed.

He pulled a shield from beneath the bed. At that moment, a figure's fist shot toward his head in an instant, and Shen Fei raised the shield over his head.

Then he swept out hard with his right leg. "Strong, but your technique is garbage!"

Caught off guard, Jessica was swept to the floor. Seeing the shield smash toward her abdomen, she rolled away.

At that moment, a sphere rolled to her side, and terrifying currents erupted from it, like chains and like a flower bud.

The electricity surged into Jessica's body.

Her entire body went numb, and her eyes involuntarily rolled upward.

Relying on her powerful physique, Jessica forcibly regained consciousness and pushed herself up with both arms, intending to pounce forward.

But then, a shield blocked her way.

Jessica drove up a knee, trying to get around Shen Fei's shield, but Shen Fei seemed to have anticipated it. He stepped back, causing Jessica's attack to miss.

Just as Jessica was preparing to continue attacking,

an unstoppable wave of dizziness surged into her mind. She tried to grab Shen Fei, but her legs gave out, and she collapsed limply onto the floor. Before her beautiful eyes closed, they gave Shen Fei one last look.

"She could really take it. She only passed out after moving around for so long."

Shen Fei shook his head and picked Jessica up.

Finally got her.
