228 Meeting The Online Friend
Based on the information Zou Sheng had found, Wu Zheng drove Shen Yin to the Fashion Garden District in Chengxi.
Just as the car stopped at the entrance of the district, Shen Yin saw a man who looked very similar to the photo in the documents. He was carrying a bag of fruits, wearing an aqua blue shirt and black trousers. He was standing impatiently in front of the fruit shop and making a call.
After Wu Zheng parked the car, he got out of the car first and walked to the person. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Zhang Nan?”
“Who are you?” The man glared at Wu Zheng impatiently. When he saw Shen Yin walking over, his tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed and he beamed with joy. “Pretty girl, do you want my contact number?”
“No, thank you.” Shen Yin politely declined his request.
Just as she was about to take out her police badge and explain the purpose of her visit, the man suddenly angrily flung aside the fruit he was holding and pointed at Shen Yin fiercely. “Who do you think you are? Do you think I really like you? Let me tell you, I have a girlfriend who’s a hundred times prettier than you! Do you really think you’re some fairy?!”
The man was shouting, as if he had been embarrassed and was now angry.
Many people were coming and going at the district entrance. Many men passing by glanced Shen Yin, looking like they were ready to watch a good show.
Zhang Nan thought that the other party would be embarrassed by his words, so he pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand. “Alright, alright. Don’t waste my time here. I’m very busy. If you want my contact number, just say the word. Stop hesitating.”
After saying that, the man waited expectantly for Shen Yin’s reaction. He had used this trick many times, and it worked every time.
Those young ladies were very afraid of him. They would obediently take out their phones and added his contact details. Some of them would readily ask him out after chatting a few times. He believed that this beautiful woman was no exception.
Zhang Nan’s heart bubbled with joy at the thought that he would soon be able to sleep with such a beautiful woman. He was practically drooling, and his lower body began to stir.
Shen Yin sneered. Under the man’s confident gaze, she slowly took out her phone and swiped the screen a few times before placing it in front of the man.
Zhang Nan was overjoyed, and the amazement in his eyes was tainted with disdain.
He whistled proudly and teased, “I thought you were some expensive goods. If you want to add my contact information, just say the word. Why do you have to play hard to get? Don’t you find it tiresome? Women are so troublesome!”
After saying that, he casually took out his phone and was about to give her his contact information when he saw a woman’s photo on her phone screen. He was stunned.
“Is she the girlfriend you were referring to?” Shen Yin raised her eyebrows and asked playfully.
Zhang Nan nodded in a daze. Then, he sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly put away his cell phone. He asked warily, “How did you know? Are you her classmates?”
“Oh! I know!” He suddenly thought of something and pointed at Shen Yin in realization. “You’re that greedy roommate of hers, right? Tell me, where did Zhao Lu go? Why hasn’t she replied to my messages since last night? Do you know that I spent five hundred yuan treating her to a meal, shopping, and a movie yesterday?! Hurry up and get her to come and see me, or don’t blame me for being hostile! You’re a group of gold diggers trying to cheat me of my money!”
Shen Yin and Wu Zheng looked at each other and slowly put away their cell phones. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disgust. “Zhao Lu is dead.”
“Dead?” Zhang Nan cried out in shock. His expression changed drastically, and he angrily tried to grab Shen Yin’s hand, but Wu Zheng stopped him.
He could only roll up his sleeves and grit his teeth. “You b*tches are all out to cheat men of their money. She cost me 500 yuan yesterday, and today you’re telling me that she’s dead. Has she gone back on her word? I want my money’s worth!”
“Watch your mouth.” Wu Zheng did not want to waste his breath on such an uncultured person. He casually took out a police badge from his pocket. “We’re police officers. We’re here to find out about your meeting with Zhao Lu yesterday.”
“Police?” Zhang Nan was completely stunned. It took him a while to realize that what they said was true.
Only then did he grow frightened. His lips trembled as he said, “Officer, is Zhao Lu really dead? I-I don’t know anything! That woman has nothing to do with me!”
“Didn’t you just say that she’s your girlfriend?” Wu Zheng stared at him in amusement and dragged him into the district.
There were too many people at the entrance of the district. If they continued to talk here, matters might blow up. They must go to Zhang Nan’s house to conduct a proper questioning.
Zhang Nan pulled a long face as he dragged his feet after Wu Zheng. His aggrieved face was completely different from his arrogant and domineering expression just now.
“Officer, I made a mistake just now. What girlfriend? We’ve only met once and haven’t done anything. How can she be my girlfriend?”
