A Beauty in Red, Gao Zisheng's Fiancée!

A bungalow in an urban village.

"Grandpa, come have some porridge!"

Yue Xiaofei called his grandfather to breakfast.

Since Sha Zhenjiang had left, his life had settled back into its quiet routine.

Vroom!

A harsh engine roar suddenly sounded outside the courtyard gate.

"Who is it?"

Yue Xiaofei stepped out and saw a bright red Ferrari parked at the gate.

A young woman in a red dress got out.

She looked no older than twenty, with fair skin, beautiful features, and the refined air of a wealthy heiress.

"Hello, Yue Xiaofei."

The young woman spoke first, a smile in her eyes. "I'm Tang Xian'er, Gao Zisheng's fiancée."

Yue Xiaofei's heart jolted.

The Tang Family was a prominent name in Jiangcheng, with assets worth at least a billion yuan.

He had never expected the Tang Family's eldest daughter to show up at his door!

"Please leave."

Yue Xiaofei frowned, his voice cold.

"Whether you're here to plead for Gao Zisheng or you want something else, you're not welcome here!"

"I'll never forgive Gao Zisheng for what he did!"

Tang Xian'er covered her mouth and giggled.

"You've got the wrong idea. I'm not here to plead for him."

"Honestly, I hate Gao Zisheng as much as you do. Who would like an arrogant playboy like him?"

"I'd like to talk to you alone. Get in, and we'll find somewhere to talk."

She pointed to the Ferrari beside her.

But Yue Xiaofei stood where he was, unmoved.

He had no idea what she was up to.

"What, are you scared?"

Tang Xian'er raised an eyebrow and deliberately leaned closer. "I'm just a girl. It's not like I'm going to eat you."

"All right."

Yue Xiaofei finally nodded and climbed into the passenger seat, though he remained wary.

Vroom!

Tang Xian'er floored the accelerator. The Ferrari shot forward, weaving nimbly through traffic.

Meanwhile, Yue Xiaofei tried to work out one thing—

Why had she come looking for him?

Did she really want to take down Gao Zisheng, or did she have another motive?

Half an hour later.

They arrived at the Hilton Hotel in the city center.

It was a Jiangcheng landmark, where one night's stay cost several months of an ordinary office worker's wages.

"Why come here?"

Yue Xiaofei opened the car door and looked at the glittering hotel before him, his frown deepening.

"The Gao Family's influence runs through all of Jiangcheng. They have eyes everywhere."

Tang Xian'er explained, "The presidential suite here is the only place we'll be safe. Do you want the Gao Family overhearing our conversation?"

She led the way inside and took Yue Xiaofei up to the presidential suite.

The lavish suite covered a full two hundred square meters, with opulent decor and wool carpeting.

In his plain clothes, Yue Xiaofei looked completely out of place.

"Try some!"

She suddenly poured two glasses of red wine and offered him one. "1982 Lafite. Gao Zisheng's favorite. I swiped it!"

Yue Xiaofei didn't take it. He merely looked at her coldly. "Just tell me what you want."

Tang Xian'er shrugged and took a sip of wine herself.

"My marriage to Gao Zisheng was arranged by our families. My father wanted to hitch himself to the Gao Family, so he offered me up."

A flicker of disgust crossed her eyes.

"You know what Gao Zisheng is like. He's an ignorant wastrel who spends his time drinking and chasing women! I disliked him from the start. He even disgusted me, but I couldn't fight back."

"The Tang Family may be rich, but we're no match for the Gao Family. All I could do was pretend to go along with it and wait for a chance to break free of him."

"Hasn't that chance come now?"

Yue Xiaofei asked, "Gao Zisheng's been arrested. Surely your engagement is off."

"Arrested? Hahaha..."

Tang Xian'er laughed as though she'd heard a joke.

"You're too naive. Do you really think he's in any trouble?"

"I'll tell you the truth—he's already out of the detention center on medical parole, having a great time at his estate!"

"I visited him yesterday. He bragged that he'd be free for good before long, and that he'd make you pay once he was!"

She took out her phone, opened her photo album, and held it up to Yue Xiaofei.

In the photo, Gao Zisheng lay on a lounger beside a pool while several maids in bikinis fed him fruit.

What?!

At the sight of the photos, Yue Xiaofei's pupils contracted. His blood felt ready to boil!

Was there no justice in this world?

Secretary Sha had ordered a thorough investigation. And what had come of it?

Gao Zisheng was still eating, drinking, and living better than ever!

I nearly got beaten to death by hundreds of thugs, while he lounges around at a luxury estate!

What kind of medical parole is that? It's a vacation!

Answer me!

Look me in the eyes!

Is that fair?

Does that make any sense?

"Miss Tang, what exactly do you want from me today?"

Yue Xiaofei's voice shook with suppressed anger.

"To work together!"

Tang Xian'er said, "I have evidence of the Gao Family's crimes on a USB drive. If we give it to Secretary Sha, the Gao Family will fall."

"Then Gao Zisheng's reputation will be ruined, and I'll finally be free of the engagement."

She took a USB drive from her bag and handed it to Yue Xiaofei.

Yue Xiaofei's mind reeled.

If she was telling the truth, this could be the key to bringing down the Gao Family.

"Thank you. I'll make sure he gets it!"

Yue Xiaofei took the drive, slipped it into his pocket, and stood to leave.

"Wait!"

Tang Xian'er suddenly stopped him, her gaze turning seductive. "Yue Xiaofei, I have another gift for you."

"What gift?"

Yue Xiaofei asked, curious.

"Close your eyes."

Tang Xian'er's voice seemed to carry a strange power.

After a moment's hesitation, Yue Xiaofei did as she asked and closed his eyes.

A few seconds later.

"All right, open them!" Tang Xian'er said.

Yue Xiaofei opened his eyes. His expression changed instantly to one of disbelief.

Tang Xian'er had taken off her red dress...

Is this how you test a man's integrity?

"Do you like it?"

Tang Xian'er walked toward him step by step, her perfume drifting over to him.

"Miss Tang, what are you doing?"

Yue Xiaofei instinctively backed away.

But Tang Xian'er pressed herself against him and breathed softly into his ear.

"Yue Xiaofei, Gao Zisheng nearly had you killed. Don't you want revenge?"

"Wouldn't the best revenge be to..."
