When Chen Cheng knocked on Ye Zhenzhen's door, the five of them were discussing this matter.

Lucy, who was closest to the door, heard the doorbell; her eyes lit up as she exchanged a glance with Ye Zhenzhen, who was cutting fruit.

"I'll get it!"

Scum Cheng looked at Lucy, his eyes lighting up with a look of pleasant surprise.

Seeing that Yu Chuhui and He Minhong inside the room both had their backs to the door, he leaned in and kissed Lucy's red lips.

Lucy's eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed his hand before it could go any further.

She whispered, "What are you doing? Be careful, He Minhong and Xiao Yu might see."

Chen Cheng held her hand and chuckled foolishly, "I missed you."

A blush spread across Lucy's face, and she felt sweet inside.

She stepped aside, "Come in first."

Chen Cheng leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I'll come to your place tonight."

After saying that, he walked into the room with a smile on his face.

Lucy watched his back, took two deep breaths to suppress the restlessness in her heart, and followed him in.

As Chen Cheng walked into the living room, Zhu Zhe was speaking.

"Just as AChu said, I've done all I can. As for what happens next, let them handle it themselves."

He Minhong pouted, clearly unwilling, "But... the matter hasn't been resolved yet..."

Yu Chuhui rolled her eyes at her in annoyance, "I'm helping, not taking over the whole thing."

"People need to set boundaries. Don't overstep, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng immediately knew that they were helping Yu Feixue look for Chen Zufa.

When He Minhong saw Chen Cheng, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior, "Brother Cheng~"

Only then did Zhu Zhe and Yu Chuhui turn to look at Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng nodded at them, "What are you guys chatting about?"

He Minhong immediately perked up, "Brother Cheng, we were talking about..."

She chattered on, explaining the whole situation. Based on Chen Zufa's social connections they learned from Zhu Zhe, they had analyzed a possible hideout.

Yu Chuhui's opinion was to just notify the victim, which would be doing enough, and Zhu Zhe and the others thought the same.

But He Minhong wasn't happy with that, looking determined to not give up until Chen Zufa was caught.

While listening to her, Chen Cheng had already walked over to Ye Zhenzhen at the western kitchen island. He ate mango with a fork while his hand caused trouble under the island, pinching Ye Zhenzhen's firm buttocks.

After listening to her finish, Chen Cheng shrugged, "I think AChu is right. Solving cases is a job for the police."

Ye Zhenzhen's face flushed red from his pinching; she viciously stomped on his foot and ran to the sofa. She was truly afraid she wouldn't be able to hold back a sound, which would be social suicide.

He Minhong looked at Chen Cheng, then at Ye Zhenzhen, Lucy, Zhu Zhe, and Yu Chuhui, her mouth drooping—why didn't anyone support her?

Yu Chuhui saw her frustrated expression and snorted lightly, "I've been tired all day, I'm going to watch a show and sleep."

Saying this, she turned and walked towards the entryway.

Lucy gave a meaningful look at Chen Cheng, who was happily eating fruit, "I'm leaving too. I'm going back to organize the guarantor signing situation."

He Minhong sighed, you people are really cold-hearted, "Spectators, goodbye!"

She didn't forget to smile at Ye Zhenzhen, "Zhen Zhen, thanks for the fruit."

"Goodbye." Ye Zhenzhen sprawled on the sofa, not moving, just waving her hand.

Zhu Zhe stood up and went to the entryway to confirm that He Minhong had left. Only when she saw the door close did she turn back and walk up to Chen Cheng.

"Chen Cheng," a call interrupted Chen Cheng, who was thinking about how to arrange tonight.

Chen Cheng looked up at her, "What's wrong, Gigi?"

"Accompany me to go out and look for Chen Zufa, don't let the others know."

Chen Cheng was stunned; he hadn't taken this matter to heart at all.

However, seeing Zhu Zhe's expression, he knew that she was still somewhat troubled inside.

Thinking about it, it made sense; her first boyfriend had progressed to fraudulent marriage and scamming, which was frightening to think about.

Chen Cheng reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, saying softly, "Okay."

Ye Zhenzhen immediately perked up, sat up straight, and shouted, "I want to go too."

Chen Cheng and Zhu Zhe exchanged a smile. Ever since the threesome, Ye Zhenzhen's personality had become increasingly wild, and her inner playful nature had been completely ignited and magnified.

Chen Cheng glanced at his watch and made a plan, "Then you go back first and find an excuse to leave, meet in the basement in ten minutes."

Zhu Zhe nodded, but didn't make a move to leave.

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Ye Zhenzhen watched the two of them without a hint of jealousy; instead, she wore a doting auntie smile.

After Zhu Zhe left, Ye Zhenzhen opened her arms and acted coquettishly, "I want a hug too."

Chen Cheng walked over with a mischievous grin.

Five minutes later, Ye Zhenzhen, flushed red, patted Chen Cheng, who had his head buried in her chest.

"Stop messing around, let's attend to business first."

Chen Cheng shrugged, "Okay!"

He got to eat every day, so he wasn't thirsty at all.

Plus, he still had a buff he could use.

The two of them went downstairs two minutes apart, afraid that if they made too much noise, the "Saint" He would find out.

The three met in the basement, and Chen Cheng sat in the driver's seat of Ye Zhenzhen's M8.

Zhu Zhe sent the location to Chen Cheng, "I sent the location to your phone."

Chen Cheng frowned as he looked at the location; wouldn't this whole trip take over two hours?

buddy still wanted to sleep—err, I mean, rest.

"Is there any place that's particularly special?" He couldn't just say where to go, so he had to ask.

Zhu Zhe thought for a moment, "The second one might be a bit more special."

Chen Cheng nodded, said nothing, opened the navigation, and drove off.

Originally, Chen Cheng wanted to have the Bodyguard make the trip, but seeing Zhu Zhe's restless appearance...

He knew that if she didn't go see for herself, she wouldn't be able to get over it. The night was still long, so he might as well accompany her.

Chen Cheng drove, and Zhu Zhe sat in the back seat, explaining her deduction logic.

"Since Chen Zufa's setup this time was calculated step by step, after the wedding ended and he disappeared with the money, he shouldn't return to the original place."

"His personality is extremely conservative, and he is completely unable to adapt to new environments."

"Especially when he's on the run and everyone is on high alert, would he hide back in a familiar place to seek a sense of comfort?"

Chen Cheng knew she was explaining it to him.

He smiled, "Gigi, you're doing the right thing. Some things are like a festering wound."

"Only by cleaning out the pus can the wound fully heal."

Zhu Zhe nodded, "Thank you, Chen Cheng."

A smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. She had originally been afraid that Chen Cheng would be angry, but now it seemed that Chen Cheng understood her.

Ye Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Chen Cheng in annoyance, "Gigi, don't make excuses for him; he's just a jerk."

Chen Cheng didn't back down, "But I'm a jerk that people like."

Watching the two of them flirting, a smile appeared on Zhu Zhe's face.

She had struggled in her heart as well, whether she should give up this messy relationship with Chen Cheng and Ye Zhenzhen.

But whether it was Chen Cheng or Ye Zhenzhen, they both gave her great warmth and tolerance.

Love was one aspect, but Chen Cheng could also bring her career support.

With a solid backing like Chen Cheng, she could pursue her career without any worries.

Instead of walking on thin ice with every step.

Moreover, given Chen Cheng's status, if needed, a single word could resolve her workplace predicaments.

It's just that she couldn't do that; she had to wait for Chen Cheng to offer to help her himself.

Most importantly, having experienced Chen Cheng's domineering marksmanship, how could she let go?

Especially after that bold attempt, she and Ye Zhenzhen also developed some strange bond.

Now, looking at Ye Zhenzhen, there was no guilt or shyness; it felt more like family or sisters.

When the car arrived at the destination, Chen Cheng didn't let the two women get out. He rolled down the car window and waved at the black SUV behind them.

Soon, Brother Sheng ran over with his men.

Ye Zhenzhen and Zhu Zhe were not surprised, knowing that Chen Cheng brought a Bodyguard with him every day.

Chen Cheng took out his phone, showed Brother Sheng the photo of Chen Zufa, and gave him a few instructions.
