In this materialistic modern city where desires are rampant, it's truly rare to find someone with self-restraint.

Not just men, but women too.

Otherwise, where would all these lovers, mistresses, and adulterous women come from?

Zhu Bufan may not be what one would consider a gentleman, but he's not the kind of scoundrel who takes advantage of others in their time of need. He's just a bottom-line guy with principles, and it's because of his boundaries that he hasn't acted as such!

After learning about the whole story and various details from Ye Bing'er, Zhu Bufan decides to take a flight to the Capital City tonight!

After all, Ye Bing'er's wedding is the day after tomorrow.

He simply can't leave Ye Bing'er here in Tianhai City. The reason why she is doing this is that she's forced to marry a guy named Yuwen Cangsong. If Ye Bing'er doesn't marry him, Yuwen Cangsong will surely use his family's power to strike against Ye Bing'er's father.

To first stabilize the guy named Yuwen Cangsong, Zhu Bufan arranges for Ye Bing'er to return home.

As for why Zhu Bufan wants to wait until evening to go to the Capital City instead of going with Ye Bing'er right now, it's because Zhu Bufan needs to properly investigate. Plus, a second-rate family like theirs would have already known that Ye Bing'er has come to Tianhai City.

If he goes to the Capital City with Ye Bing'er now, it will inevitably drive Yuwen Cangsong into a corner. Then Yuwen Cangsong will definitely take action against Ye Bing'er's father, an outcome Zhu Bufan does not wish to see.

Therefore, Zhu Bufan immediately sends Ye Bing'er to the airport. After explaining to her, he returns to Mi Qi Group.

Going back to Mi Qi Group is to say farewell in person to his "free wife".

Upon his return to Mi Qi Group, Zhu Bufan heads straight into Mi Cai's office.

At this time, Mi Cai seems to have just come back from outside, looking all travel-worn. However, Zhu Bufan knows that Mi Cai must still be dealing with the issue of the goods getting damp.

"Zhu Bufan, you're back!" Mi Cai is surprised to see Zhu Bufan walk in, then she speaks very nonchalantly.

It seems like his leaving without notice isn't a big deal to her.

"Yeah! I'm back. But the reason I'm here is to let you know I'll be going to the Capital City tonight. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone. I just wanted to tell you in person!" Zhu Bufan doesn't pay attention to Mi Cai's reaction; he's just there to inform her.

"Okay! What are you going to do in the Capital City?" Mi Cai frowns upon hearing Zhu Bufan is heading to the Capital City.

"A friend of mine is in a bit of trouble and needs my help," Zhu Bufan replies indifferently.

"Oh! You have friends in the Capital City? What trouble? Do you need my help?" Mi Cai is initially taken aback, as she wasn't aware of Zhu Bufan having friends in the Capital City.

"No need, I can handle it. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving to get ready," Zhu Bufan says.

This time, Zhu Bufan doesn't call her "wife" in the affectionate manner he did before, because right now he's not in the mood for such playfulness!

"It's fine, go ahead!" Mi Cai says.

Zhu Bufan turns around and leaves.

Seeing how Zhu Bufan left so decisively, Mi Cai suddenly felt a void in her heart. When a friend was in trouble, he immediately rushed to Capital City. Yet, with all the issues on her hands that were troubling her, Zhu Bufan didn't offer to help, still has the gall to claim he's my husband?

Mi Cai felt utterly powerless and sat down on her chair.

Deep down, she really wanted to lash out at Zhu Bufan, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it. She couldn't make it happen.

After leaving Mi Cai's office, Zhu Bufan immediately took out his phone and called his senior brother, Zhou Xin, because his brother was a resident of Capital City.

Ye Bing'er's description of the Yuwen Family was vague, so Zhu Bufan must utilize his own means to thoroughly understand just how much influence the Yuwen Family in Capital City truly wielded.

"Bufan, what brings you to call me?" The phone rang twice before Zhou Xin picked up.

"It's like this, senior brother, my…" Zhu Bufan briefed Zhou Xin on the situation.

Unexpectedly, his senior brother actually knew Yuwen Cangsong, and, moreover, their relationship wasn't good. Upon hearing that his girlfriend had been snatched by that guy Yuwen Cangsong, his senior brother immediately grew furious and firmly promised to help.

In the end, Zhu Bufan and Zhou Xin arranged a meeting place.

After briefly discussing, Zhu Bufan got a clear understanding of the Yuwen Family in Capital City.

With this new information, Zhu Bufan realized how insignificant he was! If he were to go by himself, it would probably be like a moth flying into the flame.

Luckily, his senior brother Zhou Xin was willing to go to Capital City with him, saying it had been a long time since he had been back, and it would be good to visit. Moreover, this time he was determined to help Zhu Bufan take his girlfriend back and ensure that Ye Bing'er's father wouldn't get hurt.

With the reassurance of his senior brother Zhou Xin, Zhu Bufan felt a bit more at ease.

However, Zhu Bufan still felt it wasn't enough.

To be on the safe side, Zhu Bufan wanted to find another person, a woman. Although he wasn't sure if this woman would help him, Zhu Bufan still wanted to give it a shot.

And the woman Zhu Bufan decided to find was: Dongfang Weimei!

Yes, Dongfang Weimei.

Zhu Bufan knew this woman had a complex background—managing such a unique business, how could the power behind her be simple? Besides, Dongfang Weimei's strength was even above his own, which could be considered another assurance!

The most crucial point was that Zhu Bufan knew Dongfang Weimei came from Capital City and she was the young lady of the first-class Dongfang Family of Capital City!

If he could get this miss to help him, why would he need to worry about bringing down that second-class character Yuwen Cangsong?

After meeting with his senior brother, Zhou Xin left to organize his work, as he would soon head to Capital City with Zhu Bufan, and he had to take care of his responsibilities.

After Zhou Xin had left, Zhu Bufan took out his phone again and called Dongfang Weimei.

As usual, Dongfang Weimei answered the phone quickly. However, what Zhu Bufan did not expect was that Dongfang Weimei already knew why he was calling her!

"Zhu Bufan, long time no see! I've heard about the situation with your girlfriend. Are you calling because you want me to help you?" Dongfang Weimei asked straightforwardly and directly.

Zhu Bufan was taken aback at first, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, although invisible to others: "Cough cough, so you already knew!"
