Revenge on the spot.

The girl in red dress stared at Chen Shuo for quite a while, her eyes rather complicated.

Behind the pretense of strength, there was still evasiveness and helplessness. Chen Shuo didn't say anything and just watched the situation unfold.

The girl in red dress would occasionally glance up to the top right, then quickly retract her gaze.

Following her line of sight, Chen Shuo saw a surveillance camera installed in the corner of the parking lot.

This was private club monitoring that only people associated with this dance party could access.

When the girl in red dress looked at the surveillance camera, there was undisguisable fear in her eyes.

In other words, she had no connection with Chen Shuo, but deliberately tried to lure Chen Shuo to this side of the parking lot on someone's instructions behind the scenes.

The target of that person behind the scenes was Chen Shuo.

Facing the girl in red dress's words, Chen Shuo remained expressionless, pretending to be just an ordinary young man.

Pretending not to understand the girl in red dress's words, Chen Shuo asked, "What are you talking about?"

Girl in red dress: "I'm saying you look very delicious. Would you mind letting me have a bite?"

Chen Shuo's expression was nonchalant, as if watching a bland play. With arms crossed, he said, "I know I'm handsome and many girls covet my looks. But such a straightforward girl, this is my first time seeing one."

The girl in red dress was slightly stunned, and didn't know how to respond for the moment.

Helplessly at a loss, she could only turn her gaze back to the surveillance camera not far away.

A few seconds later, as if having steeled great determination, she actually pounced towards Chen Shuo.

Plunging into Chen Shuo's arms, she prepared to kiss his neck.

Chen Shuo: "..."

"Oi!"

"Such an aggressive girl is also my first time seeing. What a pity, I have a girlfriend already, and she's prettier than you!"

After speaking, Chen Shuo ruthlessly, the moment the girl in red dress's lips were about to touch his neck, pushed her away with one hand.

The girl in red dress lost her balance, staggered, and swayed precariously as if about to fall to the ground.

Chen Shuo stepped forward two steps, looking like he was preparing to reach out to steady the girl in red dress, but from an angle the surveillance camera couldn't see, Chen Shuo's foot trod on the skirt of the girl's gown.

With a plop, the girl in red fell into the artificial lake.

Chen Shuo watched as the girl floundered in the water for quite a while before finally pretending to react with exaggerated alarm:

"Come quick!"

"Someone fell into the water!"

The parking lot was truly massive, so by the time security came over, the girl in red had already swallowed a lot of lake water and was about to sink.

Pulled out from the lake water with difficulty by two security guards, she was utterly bedraggled!

Her drenched head dripped water that streaked her smeared make up. Eyes glaring at Chen Shuo, she kept coughing from the water she'd choked on.

Chen Shuo stood in place looking down condescendingly at the girl in red dress, eyebrows raised slightly.

Soon, the commotion at the artificial lake drew everyone over from the dance party.

But this wasn't a big deal either. The girl in red admitted it was her own fault for accidentally falling into the artificial lake when going to fetch something from her car, and had nothing to do with Chen Shuo. They had merely chanced upon each other in the parking lot.

Su Xiyan, who arrived shortly after, looked between Chen Shuo and the girl in red dress, guessing things were unlikely that simple.

With the dance party ending soon anyway, after bidding the hostess, wife of Haiyuan Group's President, Chen Shuo and Su Xiyan drove home.

Su Xiyan's long blue gown meant she couldn't sit in the passenger seat, so could only sit in the back.

Autumn nights were already very cool.

The moment Su Xiyan got in the car, a furry little shawl draped itself over her shoulders, adding elegance and a touch of magnificence.

Glancing at Su Xiyan via the rearview mirror,

Chen Shuo mused to himself that she really was a natural clothes horse, looking gorgeous in anything!

Su Xiyan suddenly broke the silence. "That girl just now, it was because of you she fell into the lake, right?"

Chen Shuo feigned innocence. "How could that be? Didn't she admit herself that she accidentally fell into the lake?"

Su Xiyan gave Chen Shuo a sideways glance. "The footprint on her skirt hem belongs to you, doesn't it?"

She really was an attentive woman!

Chen Shuo couldn't help mocking. "A waste of talent if you don't become a private investigator!"

"Aren't I helping you vent?"

"Who told her to step on your skirt in the ballroom?"

Though superficially reproaching Chen Shuo, the beaming smile on Su Xiyan's face had already given away her current mood. "You're a guy, you should have grace. Can't quibble with a girl."

Chen Shuo gave a disdainful snort. "We're all new to life, I'm not her dad. Why would I indulge her?"

"I'm small-minded. I settle grudges on the spot."

The bickering between them didn't last long.

Then Chen Shuo gave Su Xiyan a brief rundown of what happened in the parking lot.

After hearing Chen Shuo's account, Su Xiyan fell silent.

She looked at Chen Shuo, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Chen Shuo had already spotted the crux of the matter. "Didn't Mr. Tang say there were vampires at the dance party? How come none were discovered? Instead this mess popped up."

Su Xiyan nodded. "Right, according to reason the information from demon hunters shouldn't have errors."

Unless...it was done deliberately by someone.

Su Xiyan already had the answer in her heart.

But she still couldn't tell Chen Shuo, because she didn't want him to worry.

Seeing that Su Xiyan looked a little tired, Chen Shuo didn't continue discussing the small incident at the dance party.

Anyway there were no losses, they could write it off as erroneous information from the demon hunters!

The mistake could also have been deliberately orchestrated by someone.

But this wasn't something Chen Shuo should ponder. Demon hunter affairs, what business is it of mine? I'm the Ghost King. It's them demon hunters who should cower in fear of me as an existence they dread.

Chen Shuo's mood was very relaxed, but Su Xiyan sitting in the back was heavily preoccupied.

After some time, Su Xiyan still decided to verify her inner conjecture.

She took out her phone to message her bosom buddy Cheng Xinran. "Xinran, help me investigate someone."
