After finishing the statement, Shen You’an thought for a moment and said, "Officer, have you investigated Zhou Qin’s lover?"

The policeman froze for a second, then immediately asked cautiously, "Have you discovered something?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Officer, I’ve seen her lover before. His face is full of flesh, and he looks quite scary. I always felt he looked familiar, as if I’d seen him on the list of dishonest individuals."

"Alright, we’ll follow up on this lead. If there’s anything suspicious, we won’t let it slide."

"Thank you for your hard work, officer."

Walking out of the police station, Shen You’an went to a nearby café, bought two cups of coffee, and sat under the sunshade at the entrance. She drank one cup herself and placed the other opposite her.

Before long, a man sneaked over and sat down across from her.

The man looked quite young and wore a sun hat, constantly surveying his surroundings with vigilance.

"Sister An, couldn’t you choose a better location? Meeting at the police station entrance feels like a moth flying straight into the spider’s web."

Shen You’an found it amusing, "What trouble have you caused this time?"

Luo Zhong froze for a moment, then straightened his back.

"Sister An, I swear to heaven and earth, I’ve been keeping a clean slate recently, not daring to cause any trouble."

He let out an awkward laugh, "It’s just a habit—old habits die hard."

"Sister An, is this coffee for me?"

Shen You’an nodded.

Immediately, Luo Zhong happily picked it up, took a sip, and squinted his eyes in delight.

"Sister An, how did you know I like it sweet?"

Without waiting for Shen You’an to answer, Luo Zhong began rambling again, "Sister An, ever since you scolded me last time, I’ve cleaned up my act. I recently got a job washing cars—making a few hundred bucks a day."

He smiled brightly as he spoke.

"That’s good. How’s your mother’s illness?"

"Same as ever. She’s still taking medication—living one day at a time."

At this point, Luo Zhong looked at Shen You’an seriously, "Sister An, if it hadn’t been for your help before, I might’ve been in jail by now, and my mom wouldn’t be alive today. You saved both of us. As long as you don’t mind, I’d gladly be your servant for life."

"Stop right there. I didn’t ask you here today for sentimentality."

Luo Zhong slapped his forehead, "My bad memory."

He immediately took out a few photos from his pocket and slid them across to Shen You’an.

"Sister An, I asked around through my buddies and finally found this scumbag. You guessed it right—he’s a compulsive gambler. A few years ago, he committed a robbery and got two years in prison. Now he lives in the tenement buildings at Xiaoxi Hill, gambling at the casino by day and messing around with women at night."

The man in the photos was none other than Zhou Qin’s lover, Wei Dahai.

Zhou Qin was just one of the many women he seduced, treating her like an ATM and discarding her once he was done.

She had already sunk her nail salon into debt for him.

Meanwhile, he gambled away the money, lost it all, and came back to drain Zhou Qin’s worth before chasing his next target.

The day Shen You’an ran into Wei Dahai, she knew he was dangerous. To prevent this pair of degenerates from causing harm to her uncle, she enlisted Luo Zhong to keep tabs on him.

Luo Zhong, who had dropped out of school in middle school and mixed with all sorts of shady people, was the safest choice for a job like this.

Shen You’an cast a brief, disdainful glance at the photos, then pulled her gaze away in disgust.

"Leak some information to him inadvertently—mention that Zhou Qin has a thirty-thousand-yuan savings account."

Luo Zhong immediately grinned, "Got it. Just wait for the news."

Shen You’an slid a bank card across to him.

Luo Zhong froze, "Sister An, what’s this for?"

"You’re helping me out. You’ll need funds to grease the wheels—this is yours by right."

"But Sister An, I’m doing this willingly. How can I take your money?"

"If that’s the case, I’ll have to find someone else."

As soon as Shen You’an finished speaking, Luo Zhong hurriedly pocketed the bank card.

Shen You’an sipped her coffee, "You help me out, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded. With money, you can also improve your mother’s quality of life."

She wasn’t a philanthropist and didn’t possess much sympathy.

She had saved Luo Zhong, but she also made use of him.

And Luo Zhong needed a well-paying job to cover his mother’s medical expenses.

It was an arrangement that served both sides.

Luo Zhong’s eyes reddened, "Sister An, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let you down."

After Luo Zhong left, Shen You’an stayed seated for a while longer, staring pensively in the direction of the police station.

Zhou Qin, this is what you deserve.

Zhou Qin was the source of all the suffering in Shen You’an’s previous life. This time, she wouldn’t show even a shred of mercy.
