After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan left the animal-themed clothing box, pulled his baseball cap down low, and walked along the road.

Previously, Lin Ziwei's visit to Zhou Yan's house gave Erlang Shen an excuse to bring Zhou Yan home early. This seemed to be disadvantageous to Zhou Yan, but after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Yan realized that since Lin Ziwei knew he was a bitch (he wasn't, he didn't), and even knew he was pregnant, she must be a huge clue.

She might know about the lover she can't find on her own end.

Old Bai Ze is truly fair and impartial, tripping himself up while giving himself clues on the other.

Therefore, Zhou Yan left his villa and stared at Lin Ziwei's footprints, but did not chase after her. He only determined Lin Ziwei's general direction, and then went to the riverbank, where he made a clever escape.

Now that he had successfully shed his shell, Zhou Yan secretly returned to a street two kilometers away from his villa, a place where Lin Ziwei's footprints could be found.

However, halfway there, Zhou Yan saw Lin Ziqi disappear behind two tire tracks.

The tire tracks belong to a taxi.

Lin Ziwei must have walked for a while, gotten tired, and then called a taxi to leave.

The taxi tire tracks were no harder to distinguish than Lin Ziwei's footprints. Zhou Yan followed the tire tracks for a little over five kilometers until he arrived at a mid-range residential complex.

The security in this community is so-so. The security guards are fairly competent. Anyone who enters has to sign in to leave their identity record, and residents also need to vouch for them.

However, there were very few surveillance cameras in this community. Zhou Yan found a wall without cameras, climbed up it, felt his way to the entrance, found Lin Ziwei's footprints, and followed them forward.

This time, Zhou Yan found Lin Ziwei's building, number 21, in five minutes and stopped in front of apartment 901 on the 9th floor of building 21.

Judging from the footprints, this woman must have lived here.

Zhou Yan stared at the door lock. It was a mechanical lock, not an electronic lock or a fingerprint lock, which made things easier. Zhou Yan took out two wires from his pocket and carefully bent them in the keyhole.

After a few seconds of arguing, a sound leaked out from under the door.

"Ziwei, don't cry."

Lin Ziwei's voice choked with sobs.

"Why, why doesn't Tao Tao believe me? That Zhou Wanwan is such a bitch! She got pregnant by another man and then went to Tao Tao to find someone to take her place. Tao Tao is such a good man, how could that bitch be worthy of him!"

"Stop talking, let's drink, let's drink..."

Here you go, this is your favorite squid skewer.

Zhou Yan put down the wire in his hand and pressed his ear against the door.

"Waaaaah... Tao Tao, my Tao Tao..."

“Men are all like that, Xiaowei. I asked my boyfriend what he thinks of those socialites, and he said that some men don’t like virgins, they like women who are skilled in sex.”

"Cao Cao ran out of his coffin and gave it a thumbs up."

"This isn't a matter of good or bad technique; that woman is pregnant."

6. "Could this child be Zhou Tao's?"

Liu: "It's definitely not. I'm not sure whose it is either, but that bitch has never had any intimate contact with Tao Tao before, how could she possibly have Tao Tao's child!"

"Does Zhou Tao want the Zhou family's assets?"

"Tao Tao isn't that kind of person!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not that kind of person, I'm not that kind of person, Xiaowei, don't be angry."

Zhou Yan, with his ear pressed against the door, touched his chin.

Is she heartbroken and seeking comfort from her best friend?

"Waaaaah, why hasn't Tao Tao called me yet? Doesn't he believe what I said?"

"Xiaowei, don't worry. Zhou Tao might still be having dinner at the Zhou family's house right now. He wouldn't dare contact you in a place like that. Maybe in a few minutes, after Zhou Tao leaves the Zhou family's house, he'll call you immediately to ask about that bitch's pregnancy."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Wei, you have to be patient. Eat, eat, eat. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight."

"If you're drunk, you won't be able to hear Tao Tao's phone call, right?"

"This beer has an alcohol content of only 1%."

"Alright then, give me two more bottles..."

"Glug... Ah, delicious..."

"We're out of skewers, shall we order some more?"

"Okay, I'll pay for the skewers, everyone buy as much as you like!"

Chapter Thirty-Two: Murder

Are the people inside waiting for Erlang Shen to call?

Zhou Yan originally planned to sneak in by picking the lock, then find an opportunity to kidnap Lin Ziwei and force her to reveal the truth about her pregnancy.

But since Lin Ziwei has already suggested waiting for Erlang Shen to call her, things become much simpler.

Zhou Yan went downstairs and wandered around for a while. Soon he found a drunk man walking over. Zhou Yan walked up to the man and struck him on the back of the head with a palm strike. The man's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground. However, before he fell, Zhou Yan caught him and carefully placed him on a public bench nearby.

Reaching into the man's arms, he quickly retrieved his phone. The phone was locked with a password, but this was no challenge for the all-knowing Zhou Yan. After entering the password, the phone unlocked, and Zhou Yan dialed Lin Ziwei's number.

Zhou Yan began clearing his throat, preparing to imitate Erlang Shen's voice.

Zhou Yan was already skilled at voice imitation, and now with the adjustments made by Huasheng, his voice imitation technique is almost on par with Zhuque's.

……

Inside Lin Ziwei's apartment building.

Lin Ziwei said, sniffing as she drank her wine.

"I just don't understand why someone as good as Tao Tao would fall for a bitch like Zhou Wanwan. He should marry a gentle, kind, beautiful girl who is a great cook and considerate."

The two girls in front of Lin Ziwei looked at each other and then gave each other a wry smile.

Lin Ziwei truly loves Erlang Shen. From the moment she asked them to come and keep her company, she couldn't stop talking about Zhou Tao. Of course, they also understood why their best friend liked Erlang Shen. Erlang Shen was handsome, came from a good family, had a great physique, and most importantly, he didn't mess around with women. He meant what he said.

He has a very masculine charm.

Good men like these are usually already snapped up after college, but Lin Ziwei just happened to find one.

Both of her best friends wanted to say something to comfort Lin Ziwei, but before they could speak, Lin Ziwei's phone rang.

Is it takeout?

Lin Ziwei took out her phone and looked at it. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she asked in confusion.

Press the answer button, and a calm voice will come out.

"I am Zhou Tao!"

Lin Ziwei, who was originally a little dizzy from crying, and her two best friends opposite her, who were playing the straight man, suddenly widened their eyes.

Lin Ziwei wiped her face and choked up.

"Xiao Tao, you, you..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I called to ask Zhou Wanwan if it's true that she's pregnant."

Lin Ziwei felt that the voice of Erlang Shen coming from the phone sounded a bit off, but she was a little dizzy from drinking, and the phone call itself was a bit distorted, so she didn't think much of it.

"Really, really, of course it's true."

Lin Ziwei took a breath, and her two best friends opposite her began to clench their fists in encouragement.

Lin Ziwei mustered her courage.

"Zhou Tao, if you don't believe me, you can go and buy a pregnancy test yourself. Once you get the results, you'll know whether what I said is true or not."

"It's not a question of whether it's true or false, Lin Ziwei. Um, I want to ask, how did you know Zhou Wanwan was pregnant? This isn't something just anyone could know, right?"

Lin Ziwei waved, and her best friend across the table handed her a bottle of beer.

Lin Ziwei took a sip and said with a burp.

"I have a cousin who works as a male nurse at a hospital. A month ago, Zhou Wanwan went to the hospital for a check-up. My cousin was taking care of a patient at the time. After he finished taking care of the patient, he heard several female nurses talking about how many people are getting pregnant out of wedlock these days. He saw a few more today."

……

A public seating area in the fourth residential area.

Yi Zhouyan walked back and forth with his phone in his hand.

"...Did you find out about Zhou Wanwan's pregnancy through your cousin? That doesn't make sense. Didn't you say Zhou Wanwan was a bitch? You wouldn't suspect that Zhou Wanwan has a promiscuous private life just because she's pregnant, would you?"

Normally speaking, there is a big difference between being pregnant out of wedlock and being a bitch. Being pregnant out of wedlock may be pure love, while being a bitch is promiscuous. So it is unreasonable to condemn Zhou Wanwan as a bitch simply because she was pregnant out of wedlock.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it slander.

“No, my cousin told me that Zhou Wanwan usually likes to go to nightclubs, and she has a hookup app on her phone.”

Zhou Yan became even more curious.

"Let's forget about the software issue, but why does your cousin know about the nightclub?"

“Because my cousin also likes to go to nightclubs and has seen Zhou Wanwan more than once. It was during these times that my cousin occasionally saw the hookup app on Zhou Wanwan’s phone.”

Hospitals are places where people either have illnesses or health problems. Simple abortions or pregnancy tests are not worth a second glance from a medical staff member. However, Zhou Wanwan's repeated appearances at different nightclubs surprised Lin Ziwei's cousin, which is why he paid more attention to Zhou Wanwan's situation.

Just as her cousin had predicted, Zhou Wanwan became pregnant.

If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet; if you frequent nightclubs often, you're bound to get pregnant.

Zhou Yan: "..."

"Okay, okay, I can barely accept that explanation."

Zhou Yan placed one hand on his forehead, his palm running counterclockwise through his hair.

"And do you know who Zhou Wanwan's lover is?"

"Who got her pregnant?"

"Zhou Tao, you...you don't want to kill that adulterer, do you?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

You're overthinking it. I just wanted to know if I could resolve my virginity issue through in-vitro fertilization.

Zhou Yan had watched a science program that explained in detail in vitro fertilization (IVF). Simply put, it involves fertilizing a woman's egg with a man's sperm outside the body, culturing the resulting embryo into an early stage, and then transferring it into the woman's uterus for further development.

Zhou Yan imagined his body providing the eggs, the adulterer providing the sperm, and then the eggs being implanted in the bellies of four other women for cultivation. ⊙◎

And just like that, an epic buff appeared. I'm still a virgin, but I have a child now.

The breathing on the other end of the phone became heavier.

"No, Zhou Tao, you're a good man with a bright future. You can't do something like murder; it will ruin you!"

"I'll do it for you!"

Zhou Yan: "d(?Д?*)"

Girl, is it really necessary?

Zhou Yan hurriedly replied.

"No need, no need... um..."

Zhou Yan was genuinely afraid that this love-struck young man might actually commit murder out of self-pity, so he had to try a different approach to persuade him.

Zhou Yan added a sentence.

Who says death is always better than life?

After the gurgling sound of drinking subsided, someone on the other end of the table spoke somewhat drunkenly.

"Zhou Tao, I, I like you so much, I like you so much. If you're scared, I, I can help you kill all the people you don't like."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Something Extraordinary

Zhou Yan: “(?_?)”

This is absolutely unbelievable! Yang Jian, did you even know you have a yandere little fangirl?!

"I said, living isn't necessarily better than dying. By the way, could you tell me your cousin's contact information and workplace?"

"Okay, my cousin's name is... his workplace is... his contact information is... and his residence is..."

"Ziwei, thank you. You know I can't contact you too much right now. Even my phone is a backup. To avoid trouble, could you please find a place to hide for a while and not call me unless absolutely necessary?"

“Once this matter is resolved, I will compensate you.”

"Mmm, whatever you say, Tao Tao. Ziwei will be good."
