Urban System: Beautiful lady, I really didn't steal your black stockings!

She imagined the scene when Zhao Ya caught her and Cheng Zhe being intimate; Zhao Ya would definitely open her eyes wide, her face filled with shock and despair.

She would be crying her eyes out, and might even break down in tears; the thought of that made her incredibly happy.

She had already begun to think about what opportunity to arrange a "chance encounter" so that Zhao Ya could witness everything.

At that point, Cheng Zhe would be unable to defend himself and would have no choice but to completely break with Zhao Ya and follow her down a dark path.

Li Yanping became more and more excited as she thought about it; she couldn't wait to see Zhao Ya's devastated face.

As she thought about it, she slowly and deliberately took off her clothes and began to hum softly.

On the other side, Wang Zhen, carrying a camera full of his "spoils," couldn't wait to take out his phone and dial Zhang Shiyi's number.

A lewd grin spread across his face, revealing his eagerness to claim credit.

The phone was answered after two rings, and Zhang Shiyi's gentle voice came through the receiver: "Brother Wang, why are you calling at this hour?"

Wang Zhen cleared his throat, deliberately raising his voice, his tone full of schadenfreude: "Shiyi, I have something big to tell you! Cheng Zhe, he can't change his ways!"

Zhang Shiyi paused for a moment, then asked nervously, "What's wrong? What happened to him?"

"What else can I do! That guy is heartless. He just begged for your forgiveness, and then he turned around and hooked up with another woman!"

Wang Zhen launched into a scathing critique, embellishing the footage he had captured.

"That woman is incredibly beautiful, young and charming, with a great figure—more outstanding than anyone you've ever seen before!"

Wang Zhen's tone carried a hint of jealousy, but he was more interested in provoking Zhang Shiyi's anger.

"Don't you think he's a jerk? He doesn't take relationships seriously at all, and you were so invested in him before!"

Zhang Shiyi's voice, choked with sobs, came through the receiver, filled with grievance and anger: "He...he actually did this. I thought he was just confused for a moment, but I never expected he was just playing with me."

As Zhang Shiyi spoke, she secretly rolled her eyes, inwardly scoffing at Wang Zhen's stupidity.

Seeing that Zhang Shiyi had "fallen in love," Wang Zhen was overjoyed.

She quickly softened her tone, feigning comfort: "Shiyi, don't be sad. This kind of scumbag isn't worth your sadness."

"Look at him, he has no sincerity towards you whatsoever. Only I am truly good to you and always think of you in every way."

He became more and more smug as he spoke, and his mind began to fantasize: Zhang Shiyi would see through Cheng Zhe's true colors, cry and rush into his arms, and then follow him wholeheartedly.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself on the phone, his eyes revealing undisguised greed and anticipation.

Hearing his silly laughter, Zhang Shiyi forced herself not to hang up and said in a soft voice, "Brother Wang, you're still the best to me... I don't know how I would have gotten through this period if it weren't for you."

"You paid for my rent, clothes, and even the money I spent on clothes. You're the only one who's willing to be this good to me."

These words instantly struck a nerve with Wang Zhen, who pounded his chest loudly, "Don't worry, with me here, I definitely won't let you suffer any injustice!"

"The fact that you're willing to ask me for money shows that you trust me and don't consider me an outsider! I knew you'd understand my feelings sooner or later."

Thinking about Zhang Shiyi's "dependence" on him during this period, from small things like snack money to big things like rent.

In his view, this was a sign that Zhang Shiyi had completely let down her guard and fallen for him; it wouldn't be long before he could win her over.

He was lost in his own daydream, laughing heartily into the phone, completely unaware that Zhang Shiyi had fallen silent, leaving only the sound of suppressed breathing.

Holding her phone, Zhang Shiyi listened to Wang Zhen's foolish laughter, a mocking smile curving her lips. She secretly thought: It seems it's time to confront him.

Suppressing her disdain, Zhang Shiyi hung up the phone and then dialed Cheng Zhe's number.

As soon as the call connected, she asked with a hint of teasing, "Wow, Cheng Zhe, you've already got another young and beautiful girlfriend after just a few days?"

Cheng Zhe was taken aback, then suddenly asked, "So Wang Zhen is following me again?"

"He's keeping an eye on you now," Zhang Shiyi said, her tone turning serious.

"That guy Wang Zhen took your picture and just called me to brag about it. He kept saying bad things about you and trying to sow discord between us."

Cheng Zhe said with a cold laugh, "This person is really persistent."

As arranged by Cheng Zhe, Zhang Shiyi sent a message to Wang Zhen.

Her tone was shy and ambiguous: "Brother Wang, I'll be waiting for you at the Starlight Restaurant in the south of the city at eight o'clock tonight. There are some things I want to tell you in person."

Upon seeing the message, Wang Zhen was overjoyed, thinking that Zhang Shiyi had finally come to her senses and wanted to be with him.

He specially changed into what he thought was a presentable suit, arrived at the restaurant half an hour early, found a conspicuous seat, and kept looking towards the door with a anxious expression.

But by 9 p.m., the number of customers in the restaurant had gradually decreased, and Zhang Shiyi had not appeared.

Wang Zhen sent several messages, but they all went unanswered. His phone calls were immediately hung up on, and his smugness was gradually replaced by embarrassment and anger.

The surrounding diners cast strange glances at him. Just as he was feeling uneasy, Cheng Zhe slowly walked in, accompanied by a smiling Zhang Shiyi.

"Hey, Brother Wang, you seem to have quite the leisure time, having a candlelight dinner all by yourself?" Cheng Zhe pulled Zhang Shiyi to sit down opposite him.

Seeing the two standing side by side, Wang Zhen instantly realized he'd been tricked, his face flushing red: "Cheng Zhe! Was this your doing?"

"Shiyi! What exactly do you mean?!"

Zhang Shiyi smoothed her hair, her tone indifferent: "What do you mean? What do you think I mean?"

She paused, her eyes filled with disdain, "Someone like you think you can seduce me?"

The two men's sarcastic remarks turned Wang Zhen's face pale and then flushed.

Before he could lash out, Cheng Zhe pulled a stack of documents from his briefcase and threw them in front of him: "Don't just get angry, take a look at this first."

"You embezzled public funds, leaked company secrets, and illegally accepted kickbacks, and every single one of these acts is verifiable."

Wang Zhen picked up the document and flipped through it, his heart sinking with each page: "This...this is impossible! When did you collect this?"

"What do you think I've been doing since I became your supervisor?" Cheng Zhe's tone turned cold.

"The company has decided to formally dismiss you, and will pursue legal action against you."

"And what made you dare to seduce your boss's woman?"

Cheng Zhe held his head high, deliberately reminding them that they were in a superior-subordinate relationship.

"No! Impossible!" Wang Zhen suddenly stood up, the table and chairs slamming together with a jarring sound. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Cheng Zhe.

"Cheng Zhe, I've been with the company for ten years! You can't do this!" He pointed at Cheng Zhe's nose, venting his anger.
