Gu Ye pedaled slowly, mindful of the cold, with Chu Qiao holding tightly to him for warmth. 

It was past eleven, and the streets were empty, the dim yellow streetlights casting a lonely, desolate glow. 

“Huh? Why did that car stop?”  

Chu Qiao noticed the black Santana parked ahead, motionless.  

Gu Ye saw it too but didn’t think much of it. 

“Maybe it broke down.”  

“It looks like one of the guests from the dance hall. I saw a hostess get into that car earlier.” 

Chu Qiao remarked.  

“Don’t worry about them.”  

Gu Ye didn’t want his wife meddling in others’ affairs. 

The hostesses had chosen their line of work, and their arrangements were consensual, there was no need to interfere.  

“Mm, I was just saying. I won’t get involved.” 

Of course, Chu Qiao wouldn’t meddle in others’ business. 

As Gu Ye pedaled farther away, the black Santana remained parked where it was. 

She couldn’t help but glance back, a strange feeling tugging at her.  

That Santana had stopped in a secluded spot, where no one was around, no streetlights. 

She had only noticed it earlier because its hazard lights were flashing. 

Now, with the lights off, everything was plunged into darkness. The black car blended into the night, leaving no trace.  

Chu Qiao felt that the car probably wasn’t broken down. But why would it remain motionless in such a corner? She couldn’t make sense of it. 

It had seemed like Lulu got into that car earlier. If the car had really broken down, someone should have gotten out to check. 

However, no one came out after a few minutes. It was indeed frightening.  

The bicycle gradually moved farther away, leaving the Santana behind. Chu Qiao turned her head back, deciding not to dwell on it. 

Gu Ye continued pedaling slowly, and after another five or six minutes, they were already two or three miles away from where the Santana had been parked.  

With the exception of the occasional rustle of the wind through the leaves, the night was nearly silent. She could practically hear the breathing of individuals who were sleeping in the neighboring alleyways since it was so quiet.  

“Ah……!”

A faint, sharp cry pierced the air, it sounded like a girl’s scream. 

Chu Qiao’s heart skipped a beat as she turned to look, but the sound had already faded.  

“Did you hear that? A woman screaming just now?” She asked.  

Gu Ye had already stopped. His senses were sharper, and he had heard it clearly, a young woman’s cry, coming from about two or three miles away. A woman screaming in the dead of night could only mean trouble.  

“Let’s check it out.”  

Gu Ye couldn’t just stand by. If it was a case of someone harassing a woman, he had to step in. Otherwise, he wouldn’t feel at ease.

Chu Qiao nodded. She suspected it might be related to the Santana they had seen earlier. 

The sound seemed to come from that direction, but the cry didn’t sound like Lulu’s. 

The scream had been clear and sharp, whereas Lulu’s voice was hoarse from years of drinking.

Gu Ye pedaled swiftly, and within minutes, they had returned to the earlier intersection. 

In the distance, they could make out a stumbling figure under the dim streetlights. 

Chu Qiao gasped in recognition. “It’s Zheng Wei, the female student who plays piano with me.”  

The running woman was indeed Zheng Wei, disheveled, her clothes in disarray, barefoot, sobbing as she fled. 

Chu Qiao’s frown deepened. She had assumed the person in the car was Lulu, but it turned out to be Zheng Wei. 

This girl didn’t refuse him after all.  

The client in the Santana must have been Boss Ma. 

Remembering the rumors circulating in the dance hall, Chu Qiao’s expression tightened further, feeling a mix of frustration and disappointment toward Zheng Wei’s choices.  

Gu Ye recognized Zheng Wei and rode toward her. 

Terrified out of her wits, Zheng Wei didn’t recognize him and continued running blindly, as if fleeing for her life. 

When Gu Ye got a clearer look at her state, he immediately averted his eyes, to avoid looking at her inappropriately.
