Chapter 383: Chapter 380 Before Getting Married
He Qianhui was indeed understanding, but I didn’t expect her reason for being so was to avoid being questioned by the police after a potential danger.
In any case, as long as the result was fine, the process didn’t matter.
"Alright, I’ll go take a look then. If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll be back right away. Remember to leave the door unlocked for me."
Zhang Hao stood up, went to the living room to get his phone, and sure enough, it was Lin Wan calling.
Once the call was connected, Zhang Hao got straight to the point and asked where she was.
But at this time, Lin Wan simply refused to say, relentlessly asking Zhang Hao on the phone if, after so long, he still couldn’t stop worrying about her.
Hence, after taking the second call, he asked without hesitation where she was.
Zhang Hao couldn’t provide a real answer to Lin Wan’s speculation.
While standing at the entrance putting on clothes and shoes, he pressed her for her exact location.
After being pressed repeatedly by Zhang Hao, Lin Wan finally revealed where she was.
Following her instructions, Zhang Hao drove there, until he arrived at that glittering and noisy place.
Zhang Hao felt out of place in every way.
He entered the bar before him and in the midst of the bustling crowd, he searched for Lin Wan.
Handsome men and beautiful women passed by Zhang Hao without a second glance from him.
After circling inside the bar, checking almost every spot, he couldn’t find a trace of Lin Wan.
This inevitably made Zhang Hao worry. He had rushed here from home, speeding all the way, and it took less than fifteen minutes.
Therefore, there was no reason for her to have left in such a short time.
Unless she went to the bathroom during that time.
Considering how incoherent she was on the phone, it was possible that she had drunk quite a lot tonight.
Once drunk, anything could happen.
Zhang Hao dialed Lin Wan’s number while heading towards the bathroom.
The call went through, but no one answered, increasing his suspicion that Lin Wan had indeed collapsed in the ladies’ restroom.
At the entrance to the bathroom, to the right were the ladies, to the left the gents.
As soon as he arrived, he saw two women dressed in provocative outfits applying makeup before a mirror.
Zhang Hao approached them politely, asking if they could check inside to see if a woman had fainted there.
The two women exchanged glances and then sized up Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao, in his rush, was dressed simply, in navy blue shorts and a T-shirt.
His shoes were also a cheap pair.
His entire outfit wouldn’t total more than two hundred yuan.
The women laughed and said, "Handsome, that’s a really old-fashioned way of hitting on someone. If you want to know if there are any drunk women inside, then go in and have a look for yourself."
In a bar where the relationships between men and women are often chaotic, it’s common for male customers to take their female company into the men’s bathroom for a good time.
Naturally, women would do the same, taking men into the women’s restroom to enjoy a passionate moment.
Even more brazenly, some start right on the sink.
Zhang Hao wasn’t thinking in that way, as he still held on to his morals.
"I won’t let you help for nothing, just take a quick look for me, two hundred yuan," he said.
Two hundred yuan might not be a large sum, but it seemed like a good deal to earn it just for taking a look.
One of the women, dressed in a black strap dress, snapped her compact shut with a smile and said:
"Alright, I’ll take a look for you, but you have to promise me the two hundred yuan, okay?"
The woman in the black strappy dress pushed open the door and went inside, taking a careful look, she indeed found a woman who was dressed rather conservatively in one of the stalls.
At that moment, the woman was hugging the toilet, unconscious.
As for the toilet bowl, it was full of the dirty stuff she had vomited out.
The woman in the black strappy dress pinched her nose, waving her hand in front of her face to try to fan away the stench of the vomit.
After coming out, she directly reached out to Zhang Hao asking for money.
"Give me the money, then I’ll tell you if someone is in there or not."
Zhang Hao was actually someone adept at reading people and situations. Seeing her speak so confidently, he assumed Lin Wan must be inside.
He quickly handed over two hundred yuan, and the woman felt the texture of the banknotes to make sure they were real.
Only then she pointed to the door behind her, "There really is a woman, she seems to have drunk too much, threw up."
"Why don’t you go in now and bring that person out, I’ll keep watch for you here, I won’t just earn this two hundred yuan for nothing."
At this critical juncture, Zhang Hao seemed to have no other choice.
After thanking the woman in the black strappy dress for her help, Zhang Hao pushed open the door to the women’s restroom.
After entering, he found Lin Wan’s figure and managed to carry her out of there with some difficulty.
The woman in the black strappy dress also helped him keep watch outside.
"Thanks a lot!"
The woman waved her hand and laughed, "Don’t mention it; I can’t just take your two hundred yuan for nothing. But is your friend in a bad mood or something?"
"She’s been drinking by herself outside for so long; I’ve been around here a few times."
"I saw her downing glass after glass. Did you two have a fight or something?"
Zhang Hao did not expect the woman in the black strappy dress to be so nosy, nor did he indulge her curiosity.
"You’ve got it wrong, we’re just colleagues. I still have to get her home. If I get the chance next time, I’ll treat you to a drink."
Although Zhang Hao didn’t frequent such places, he still had some understanding of the comings and goings there.
"Hao, you’re welcome to come again next time, I’ll definitely make myself available for you."
After getting Lin Wan into the car, Zhang Hao suddenly realized that he didn’t know where Lin Wan’s new home was.
He found her phone on her and saw that she had several missed calls.
He tried to unlock the phone using Lin Wan’s fingerprint.
Zhang Hao redialed the missed number, and before he could speak after two rings,
The man on the other end was already cursing, "Didn’t we agree you’d be home by seven? Where are you now? Look at the time; it’s already past nine at night."
"Ever since you’ve been with me, you haven’t been settled at all. What exactly do you want to do? Am I not loving you enough?"
Zhang Hao hasn’t inquired about Lin Wan’s married life since she got married.
Moreover, as a proud person, she wouldn’t easily expose that her married life wasn’t going well.
But through that phone call, Zhang Hao could be sure that Lin Wan’s married life must be very unhappy.
The man who had once claimed to love her more than life itself didn’t cherish her as much after getting her.
No wonder Lin Wan had said on the phone that she didn’t want to see her husband.
If so, Zhang Hao had to take Lin Wan’s side and say a few words for her.
"I’m her colleague. She’s drunk too much, and I don’t know her home address. Since you are her husband,"
"Could you please give me the address so I can send her home and prevent her from encountering any dangers on her own?"
This was a perfectly reasonable request, but the man on the phone exclaimed in alarm.
"Colleague? I don’t believe that. You must be her lover, don’t think I don’t know, she had a man before we got married."
