Shi Keke and Shen Cheng discussed some topics about Shi Mei, both as friends and as sister-in-law. Naturally, Shen Cheng hoped Shi Keke could be with Shi Mei, so she came up with an idea for Shi Keke.

"I don’t think this plan will work. Given my brother’s temperament, if he finds out I’m secretly dating another man, that man is going to end up dead or severely injured."

"That depends on who the person is," Shen Cheng said with a smile. "He shouldn’t be cruel enough to kill me."

"So sister-in-law means to pretend to be a man and act as my date?"

"That’s exactly what I mean."

"Alright." Shi Keke raised her eyebrows and said, "With your petite figure, how could you ever look like a man?"

"Are you indirectly praising me for being very feminine?" Shen Cheng teased.

"You’re the most feminine, alright."

After work, Shi Keke walked out of the firm and called Shi Mei, asking about the car. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Shi Mei told her that the car paint had been fixed, but it would take three days before she could pick it up from the repair shop.

Shi Keke acknowledged this with a simple "got it," then said, "Okay, I’ll just take a taxi for the next few days, it’s quite convenient."

"There have been a lot of robberies happening in taxis recently. Are you sure you want to take a taxi?" Shi Mei’s voice was calm, as if he was stating something irrelevant to himself.

"Your sister learned some self-defense moves, I’m not afraid of getting robbed. Besides, the chance of being robbed in a taxi is quite small. Would I really be that unlucky?"

Shi Keke appeared carefree, having been independent since she was a child. She always handled difficult situations on her own, which made her fearless.

"You may not be afraid, but I am." The low, eerie voice from the other end of the line spoke heavily and was hard to ignore.

Shi Keke laughed, "There are times when you’re scared too."

"Enough with the nonsense," Shi Mei spoke coldly. "Don’t go anywhere, wait for me to pick you up."

"No need, brother. I have a dinner meeting later, someone will pick me up from the company. After the dinner, they can drop me off."

"I dare you to try getting into someone else’s car." The icy voice carried a hint of danger, momentarily lowering the temperature of the air, making it feel like an icehouse.

"The car to pick me up has arrived, brother, let’s talk later. I’ll call you back..."

Shi Keke hung up the phone, glanced around, and saw an unlicensed Maserati parked across the street. She quickly walked over, opened the car door, and got in.

Seeing Shi Keke get in, Shen Cheng, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, immediately asked, "So, did the fish take the bait?"

"Sort of." Actually, Shi Keke wasn’t sure whether Shi Mei would fall for it.

Shen Cheng said "ok," and started the car.

The car soon stopped outside a nearby restaurant. Shi Keke got out first to secure a table, while Shen Cheng parked the car in the most conspicuous spot before joining Shi Keke.

To support Shi Keke, Shen Cheng went all out. Before arriving, she picked up a new Maserati from the 4S dealership, although it was labeled as "borrowed," once the car was driven off the lot, it clearly wouldn’t be returned...
