At this moment, Ke Jie felt his mind go numb. Everything happening around him felt like a dream, and not just any dream—a nightmare! He thought that Lan Qingqing was just messing with him, trying to provoke him with some childish nonsense. He couldn't understand why she would come up with such a ridiculous story.
Just as he was about to call her out on it, he regained his composure. Habitually, he switched to speakerphone and exited the call interface. He then opened the WeChat chat window with Lan Qingqing, scrolling through a series of screenshots. The content was from the gossip group of Zong Shi Yan Tuan, where everyone was discussing Tong Le and Zong Zeyu. The messages indicated that Tong Le and Zong Zeyu were involved, and several employees had overheard Zong Zeyu calling Tong Le "wife."
Ke Jie felt an even deeper numbness creeping into his scalp, as if countless green ants were making their home on his head. He instinctively threw his phone aside, clutching his forehead with both hands in utter despair.
The phone hit the ground, and Lan Qingqing's voice erupted from the receiver, "What are you going crazy about? Hurry up and deal with this mess! I told you Tong Le seemed like a different person all of a sudden; it turns out she has been cheating on you! And the one she's cheating with is none other than the infamous Zong Zeyu! Ke Jie, you really are unbelievable! I warned you that Tong Le was unfaithful, but you refused to believe me! Now who knows if the child in her womb belongs to Zong Zeyu! If that child really is Zong Zeyu's, your life is completely ruined!"
Ke Jie could no longer control his emotions. He had just lost twenty million in cash and traveled over two thousand kilometers to this so-called scam company, only to be told there was no chance of recovering his money! And now, at this moment of despair, his wife Tong Le had cheated on him—with Zong Zeyu!
His world had completely collapsed! Grabbing his head, he pounded it in frustration. Not only did he feel like his hair was turning green, but he also felt as if his face was turning green as well!
The green hat he wore was bright and conspicuous; it felt as if even his ancestors' graves were emitting green smoke!
The representative from the investment company grew impatient. He didn't care what Ke Jie was going through; seeing that Ke Jie wasn't calling the police, he said irritably, "Are you going to report it or not? If you're not going to report it, I don't have time to waste with you!"
Ke Jie wanted to lash out but found himself surrounded by security personnel who were protecting their own company. He had no chance to act.
The representative turned away without another word, and the security staff returned to their posts, closing the company’s main door behind them.
Ke Jie’s eyes reddened. His earlier emotional outburst left him feeling like he might burst from pent-up frustration; he felt as if the capillaries in his face were about to explode. If anything else went wrong at this point, he feared he might explode right there.
He picked up his phone from the ground; it had shut off due to the fall. As he turned it back on, he sat expressionlessly on the roadside with disheveled hair and a terrible demeanor. He couldn't understand why such bad luck had befallen him!
At that moment, his phone rang—it was a call from his lawyer. Earlier on his way here, he had consulted the lawyer about the feasibility of this case.
When the call connected, Ke Jie’s voice was hoarse.
The lawyer bluntly stated, "Mr. Ke, I just finished my previous task. Regarding that case you mentioned earlier today—honestly speaking, I think the chances of recovering your investment are very slim; this place is not reliable."
Ke Jie asked, "What if I find this person named Kong Hongmei who introduced me? Would that help the case?"
The lawyer replied, "Not much help at all. The twenty million Tong Le sent out didn’t go through any third-party organization or individual; it went directly to the cooperating company. You could say that this so-called introducer Kong Hongmei is essentially invisible. The most difficult part is that Tong Le can't provide any basic information or photos of Kong Hongmei; the only contact method is WeChat. However, her WeChat ID doesn’t match any real-name verification information. I suspect that 'Kong Hongmei' is a fake name. Mr. Ke, we can’t proceed here."
Holding the phone with his head down, Ke Jie repeatedly struck his forehead in frustration. It felt as though calamity after calamity struck him on this same day at this same hour—as if heaven itself were forcing him toward despair.
On the other end of the line, the male lawyer politely checked in twice but received no response from Ke Jie before finally hanging up.
Ke Jie stared blankly at his feet as darkness fell. The street was deserted, with not a single living creature in sight; the only presence was the security guard in the booth, who watched him intently.
He stood up, swaying slightly, and picked up his phone to call Tong Le. No one answered.
He tried again, and again, but still no response.
Exhausted and drained, even though his mind was racing with anger and frustration, he found no one and nothing around him to vent his feelings. He rummaged through his pockets, intending to check into a nearby hotel. He needed rest; only after resting could he think about what to do next. But as he reached into his pocket, he discovered that it had a hole! His ID card must have fallen out somewhere! He hadn’t even noticed!
His misfortunes compounded, and he couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh. With a grimace on his face, he laughed maniacally while shouting angrily into the empty street, behaving like a madman.
He kicked a nearby tree trunk hard and then stomped on an empty water bottle on the ground, moving like a zombie on steroids.
Inside the security booth, the guard pulled out his phone and recorded Ke Jie’s meltdown, muttering to himself, “I knew this guy was crazy; good thing I got in here just in time!”
Meanwhile, at Tong Le's apartment.
Tong Le had managed to persuade Zong Zeyu to eat at his apartment instead of going out.
