I was stunned. "But we..."
Yu Shishi glanced at me. "What? You can't possibly have fallen for me so quickly, can you?"
I shook my head with a bitter smile. "Miss Yu, I just feel... a bit taken aback."
She nodded. "Yeah, it is a bit sudden."
After saying that, she went to get dressed and prepare to leave.
Once she was dressed, I looked at her and asked, "Miss Yu, can we meet again?"
Yu Shishi shook her head. "No, I don't have time."
I was puzzled. "Aren't you a flight attendant?"
Her expression darkened. "How do you know I'm a flight attendant?"
I hurried to explain, "You just told me that!"
Yu Shishi paused for a moment, then her expression shifted to one of realization. "Oh, I guess I did say that."
I was somewhat speechless. "Miss Yu, what's really going on with you?"
Yu Shishi replied coldly, "Manager Gao, we were just a one-night stand. There's no need to meet again."
With that, she turned and left.
I sat on the bed, lost in thought for a long time.
What is happening?
Could it be that I was taken advantage of?
No, that can't be right!
I was the one who helped her, after all!
How did it end up being my fault?
Just when I was lost in thought, a sudden realization struck me.
Form is emptiness!
So that's what it means!
In an instant, I understood, and my heart was free of regrets.
In the following days, I found a cheap little inn to stay in.
During the day, I busied myself with job hunting, and at night, I would just find a restaurant to fill my stomach.
Although I occasionally thought of Yu Shishi, I didn't reach out to her.
After all, she wouldn't reply anyway; why bother making myself feel worse?
However, one evening a week later, I received a call from an unknown number.
After the call connected, I realized it was Ma Ming on the line.
“Manager Gao! How is your relationship with Yu Shishi developing?”
Ma Ming's voice was enthusiastic, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Especially his address—Manager Gao.
How did he know my last name?
Wait!
Isn't he aware that I'm the regional sales manager for Some Liquor Group?
How could a fortune teller possibly know my true identity?
Could it be that he already knew I was a bankrupt pauper?
Just then, Ma Ming sent me a few photos.
The content of the photos left me stunned!
It was an intimate shot of Yu Shishi and me at the hotel!
Clearly taken from surveillance footage!
I was instantly furious: “Ma Ming! What do you mean by this?”
Ma Ming chuckled, "Manager Gao, I just want to tell you that your fate with Yu Shishi isn't over yet!"
"How about this? You give me thirty thousand yuan, and I'll delete the complete video! Otherwise, I'll post it online for everyone to enjoy!"
I was furious. "Ma Ming! You bastard!"
Ma Ming laughed heartily. "Manager Gao, go ahead and curse! You've already committed to paying that money!"
I sneered, "You wish!"
With that, I hung up the phone and blocked him.
That Ma Ming is nothing but a complete fraud!
He actually thought he could blackmail me!
Does he really think I'm that foolish?
Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I asked.
The landlord's voice came from outside. "Hey, young man, it's time to pay your rent!"
I quickly got up to open the door.
As soon as I opened it, someone kicked me right in the chest!
I was thrown backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
What the hell! What’s going on?
Are they here to collect protection money?
I struggled to stand up, only to find two Black-clad Brutes standing in front of me.
I let out a cold laugh. "Oh, so you want to fight? Bring it on!"
One of the Black-clad Brutes scoffed dismissively. "Kid, hand over the money quietly! Otherwise, we’ll kill you!"
I was instantly furious. "Who the hell are you? Why are you bothering me?"
The Black-clad Brute sneered. "You know exactly what you’ve done! Stop wasting time and hand over the cash!"
As he spoke, he moved to strike.
I quickly stepped back a few paces and pulled a fruit knife from under my pillow.
Damn it!
If it comes down to it, I’ll take us both out!
