Chapter 330 Fu Siyuan is chased by "Green Tea"

Chapter 330 Fu Siyuan is pursued by a "Green Tea"

The police quickly organized an elite team and headed to Shenzhen to launch the operation. At the same time, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei also learned the news. They knew that the struggle was nearing its end and the dawn of justice was about to illuminate the darkness.

"We have to go too," Zhang Wanqing said. "We have to see with our own eyes that this criminal organization is completely destroyed."

"Be careful," Zhang Beichen warned, "this operation could be very dangerous."

"We will." Zhang Wanqing said.

During the Shenzhen operation, police successfully apprehended Zhou Qiang. At his residence, they discovered a wealth of incriminating evidence, including records of fund flows, lists of smuggled goods, and contact records with various gangs. Following Zhou Qiang's arrest, police quickly launched a nationwide operation to round up all members of the criminal organization.

Although Zhang Wanqing was unable to spend a happy holiday with her family, she successfully solved a case with her friends Fu Siyuan and Li Wei. When the newspaper boss learned about it, he postponed Zhang Wanqing's leave and allowed her to take a vacation after she finished her work.

As night fell, the city's neon lights shimmered with a captivating brilliance. On this romantic evening, a grand ball was being held in the banquet hall of an upscale hotel. Ornate crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow, and the air was filled with the faint scent of champagne and the sounds of gentle music. Most of the newspaper colleagues had been invited, and Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei had also arrived.

Although Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan have been working at the newspaper for a long time, this is the first time they have attended a dance party held by the newspaper. They heard that in addition to colleagues from the system, there are also partners from other media at the party.

Zhang Wanqing wore a pale blue evening gown, its hem swaying gently like ripples on a lake. A faint smile played on her face, but her eyes would often gravitate towards Fu Siyuan. Tall and handsome in his well-tailored suit, Fu Siyuan held an imposing presence, drawing the attention of many women. He remained oblivious, chatting with Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei about their latest investigation.

"Wanqing, you look so beautiful tonight." Li Wei said jokingly with a doting look in his eyes. His wife Lin Yue took his arm and gently echoed: "Yes, Wanqing, this dress suits you very well."

Zhang Wanqing smiled faintly, but her eyes dimmed. She had been in love with Fu Siyuan for a long time. She had mustered up the courage to confess her feelings several times, but he always avoided the question, saying, "Let's just be friends first." She knew that Fu Siyuan was cautious and even a little afraid of relationships. But her heart had already fallen for him.

Just then, a girl in a pink dress came over. Her name was Kong Weiwei, a new editor at the newspaper. She was sweet and charming, always wearing a gentle smile. She walked straight up to Fu Siyuan and said delicately, "Reporter Fu, I like you so much. You're tall, handsome, and so smart. Can you dance with me tonight?"

Fu Siyuan was stunned for a moment, scratching his head, somewhat bewildered. As a straight man, he had no resistance to such "sweet talk" and simply felt that Kong Weiwei was very enthusiastic. He looked at Zhang Wanqing, a look of help in his eyes.

Zhang Wanqing's heart sank suddenly. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile: "Siyuan, go ahead. Weiwei invites you to dance." Fu Siyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Kong Weiwei to the dance floor.

As the music started, Kong Weiwei leaned on Fu Siyuan's shoulder and said in a sweet voice, "Reporter Fu, I envy you and Reporter Zhang so much. You've investigated so many big cases together. You must be amazing, right?" Fu Siyuan blushed a little at her words, but just smiled innocently, "It's not amazing at all. It's all thanks to everyone's hard work."

At the edge of the dance floor, Zhang Wanqing looked at Fu Siyuan and Kong Weiwei, her eyes filled with loneliness. Li Wei noticed her strangeness and patted her shoulder gently: "Wanqing, don't be sad. Siyuan is too slow. It would be great if he could understand your feelings."

Lin Yue also gently held Zhang Wanqing's hand: "Wanqing, love can't be rushed. You are so kind, Siyuan will understand one day. Don't be too wronged."

Zhang Wanqing raised her head, her eyes slightly red, but she still managed a smile: "Thank you, I'm fine. I just... feel a little unwilling."

At this moment, the music on the dance floor suddenly stopped, and Fu Siyuan and Kong Weiwei also stopped. Kong Weiwei raised her head and blinked at Fu Siyuan: "Reporter Fu, do you like Reporter Zhang? I just saw the way she looked at you, it was so gentle."

Fu Siyuan was stunned. He had never thought about this question before. He looked at Zhang Wanqing, only to see her lowering her head, as if hiding something. His heart suddenly became confused, and an emotion he had never felt before spread through him.

"I... I don't know. She and I are just... colleagues and partners..." Fu Siyuan answered a little confusedly.

Kong Weiwei smiled. She leaned close to Fu Siyuan's ear and whispered softly, "That's good. I feel relieved then..."

After the dance, Kong Weiwei continued to pursue Fu Siyuan. As a popular host at the city's television station, she was beautiful, talented, and highly social. She appeared in Fu Siyuan's life almost every day, bringing him breakfast, accompanying him to work overtime, and even actively inviting him to newspaper events.

Fu Siyuan, a straight man, was completely unprepared for Kong Weiwei's kindness, even feeling somewhat flattered. He thought Kong Weiwei was a warm and enthusiastic girl, but never realized her "green tea" nature. Unsure how to refuse, Fu Siyuan could only passively accept Kong Weiwei's "kindness," a fact that Zhang Wanqing saw with deep pain.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were investigative reporters for the newspaper. They had been through countless ups and downs together, and they had long since developed a deep affection for each other. She had confessed her feelings to Fu Siyuan many times, but he always avoided the question, saying he was "afraid of hurting his friend." During their last heart-to-heart talk, Fu Siyuan said he understood Zhang Wanqing's feelings for him and that he just needed time to prepare. Zhang Wanqing felt she could stop worrying about anything and just wait. When Fu Siyuan was ready, he would accept her.

However, now, watching Kong Weiwei's fierce pursuit of Fu Siyuan, Zhang Wanqing's heart was filled with bitterness. She knew she loved Fu Siyuan, but she also knew she had no chance of winning against Kong Weiwei. What made Zhang Wanqing most upset was that Fu Siyuan didn't reject all of Kong Weiwei's efforts and advances.

Zhang Wanqing's OS: "Could it be that Fu Siyuan didn't know that Kong Weiwei was pursuing him? If he knew, why didn't he reject her decisively? If he didn't reject her decisively, it means he acquiesced. That means he also has feelings for her. Then... what about me? Who am I? If Fu Siyuan really still likes me like before, he should have rejected Kong Weiwei! Are all men so unclear about their feelings and fickle?"
