Before long, Brother Sheng returned with his men.

"Boss, the person is inside. Should we pin him down?"

Zhu Zhe's eyes lit up, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment. "No need. Just call the police."

Brother Sheng nodded, took out his phone, and started making a call.

Chen Cheng wasn't in a hurry to drive away; the three of them chatted in the car.

A short while later, the officers arrived and assessed the situation.

Chen Cheng had Brother Sheng tell them it was about illegal gambling.

As for Chen Zufa's marriage fraud, as long as he didn't admit it, the officers couldn't do anything to him for now.

First, he hadn't defaulted; second, he hadn't intentionally caused losses to the guarantor; third, he and Yu Feixue were still legally married.

He might even go back and coax Yu Feixue with a few words, making her truly believe he had just gone missing for a few days due to some temporary business.

Chen Cheng's idea was to get him locked up first.

While the situation was being assessed, he communicated with the officers.

He had provided a reason for the arrest: illegal gambling.

The officers naturally followed through and handled the matter.

Besides, this might very well be an organized and premeditated fraud ring.

Seeing the officers lead the man out, a heavy weight finally lifted from Zhu Zhe's heart.

Watching the police car drive away, Chen Cheng said, "Let's go. Time to go home and sleep~"

Ye Zhenzhen glanced back at the still-shaken Zhu Zhe, thought for a moment, and said:

"Let's go to Sister Zhu's place."

Both Chen Cheng and Zhu Zhe widened their eyes and looked at her in unison.

Chen Cheng thought, "Wife, you really understand me."

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhe's face flushed instantly; she didn't dare imagine what would happen tonight.

She glanced at Chen Cheng, her throat moving involuntarily.

A smile curled on Chen Cheng's lips as he stepped on the gas, driving toward Su River Elegance.

...

Night.

At three in the morning, after Zhu Zhe and Ye Zhenzhen had fallen into a deep sleep, Chen Cheng got dressed and went downstairs.

He drove the M8 back to Ode to Joy.

He wasn't worried about them having no car when they woke up; Zhu Zhe's Maserati Quattroporte was parked in the underground garage here whenever she wasn't driving it.

Chen Cheng went up to the 22nd floor, entered the code at Lucy's door, and walked in.

Lucy was someone who lacked a sense of security. The moment Scum Cheng crawled into bed and touched her skin, she woke up.

She jolted upright from under the covers.

Seeing her reaction, Chen Cheng's lips curled up as he reached out to ruffle her hair. "Have you been waiting long?"

Hearing his voice, Lucy realized it was Chen Cheng and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

"Zhen Zhen told me you wouldn't be coming back tonight."

Lucy turned on the light and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Chen Cheng could clearly see the blush rising on her face. He smiled and pulled her into his arms.

"Since I told you I'd come find you tonight, how could I break my word?"

Hearing his words, the corners of Lucy's mouth began to turn up. "But you didn't have to rush back and forth in the middle of the night."

Chen Cheng leaned down and kissed her. "I missed you."

Lucy felt a bit dazed by his sweet talk; she raised her arms, hooked them around his neck, and kissed him back.

...

In the early morning, Ye Zhenzhen opened her eyes drowzily.

But she only saw Zhu Zhe.

She picked up her phone, took a look, and cursed under her breath, "That bastard."

She felt a bit helpless; after all, she was the one who liked him.

Putting down her phone, Ye Zhenzhen looked at the sleeping Zhu Zhe, a mischievous smile appearing on her face.

She crawled under the covers toward her.

Soon, the two of them were fooling around together.

On Chen Cheng's side.

After waking up in the morning, he took a bath with Lucy before going to the kitchen to make breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Lucy left the house with a radiant face.

She ran into Yu Chuhui in the elevator lobby and even asked her:

"Xiao Yu, do you want a ride?"

Yu Chuhui then noticed Lucy had pressed the button for floor -1. Her eyes darted around as she asked suspiciously, "Lucy, did you buy a car?"

Lucy had a smile on her face, her dimples clearly visible. "No, it's Chen Cheng's car."

"I've jumped ship to his new company."

Yu Chuhui's eyes immediately lit up, her money-loving side taking over. "Is the salary high?"

Lucy thought for a moment and nodded. "I guess it's high."

Yu Chuhui reached out and pinched her waist. "Hmph, out with it! Be honest."

Lucy felt a bit ticklish and was somewhat helpless against the quirky Yu Chuhui. "Fine~ I'll tell you~"

"An annual salary of 600,000, determined by the company's rank system," Lucy still didn't reveal everything, only mentioning the base salary portion.

"How much?" Yu Chuhui's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

She had only held the title of the highest earner on the 22nd floor for a few days before Lucy surpassed her.

Lucy hadn't expected such a big reaction and tried to smooth things over. "It's not certain yet; I'm still in my probation period."

Yu Chuhui rolled her eyes at her. "Hmph, Brother Cheng asked you to join his new company. How could he possibly not let you pass probation?"

"No way, I'm so jealous," Yu Chuhui said as they stepped out of the elevator, grabbing Lucy's arm and leaning against her.

Seeing her acting silly, Lucy couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't say anything and led her toward the parking space.

Just as they got into the car, they saw Guan Juer press her car key toward a 911 Targa in a parking spot.

Lucy's face immediately stiffened, and she silently cursed Chen Cheng.

Pah, this dog of a man is hitting on women everywhere.

The little cabbage next door has been nurtured by him into a bright rose, yet she still doesn't know this dog of a man is four-timing.

It must be quite a challenge for him.

Yu Chuhui buckled her seatbelt, her eyes shining as she looked at Lucy expectantly. "Lucy, are there any positions suitable for me at Brother Cheng's company?"

Hearing Yu Chuhui speak, Lucy finally withdrew her gaze.

She thought for a moment. "How about you ask him yourself?"

She didn't want to deal with Yu Chuhui's request and decided to kick the ball back to Chen Cheng to handle.

Yu Chuhui looked at Lucy, then looked in the direction Lucy had been staring.

Isn't that the girl who's been seeing Brother Cheng?

She's already driving a Porsche?

Hmm? Yu Chuhui suddenly felt something was off. She glanced at Lucy again, then at the M8 they were sitting in.

She narrowed her eyes, then widened them as she looked at Lucy.

No way... right?

"Alright, I'll ask him another day."

Yu Chuhui said it out loud, but she was already making her own calculations in her head.

Lucy watched the 911 drive away before taking a deep breath to calm her emotions. She stepped on the gas and left the parking spot, exiting the underground garage right after Guan Juer.

Guan Juer frowned as she looked in the rearview mirror. "Isn't that Brother Cheng's car?"

After thinking about it, she pulled over and called Chen Cheng.

"Hey, Brother Cheng, have you headed out? I think I saw your car."

Chen Cheng, who was still at Lucy's place, widened his eyes.

Lucy had just left; did she run into Guan Guan?

Scum Cheng's mind raced. He blinked and said:

"No, you probably saw the new CFO of Company Name."

"She's been driving that M8 for the past few days. She's helping me audit the accounts lately."

Guan Juer nodded. "Oh, I see."

"I thought you had headed out."

"No, I don't have any plans until the afternoon," Scum Cheng lied casually.

The two chatted for a few more moments before hanging up.

Chen Cheng held his phone and let out a long breath of relief.

Fortunately, he and Guan Juer had been so lovey-dovey lately that she didn't suspect a thing.

Chen Cheng frowned in thought.

This won't do. I need to move one of them out quickly.

Otherwise, it's definitely going to explode.

Chen Cheng immediately called Fang Sijin to check on the progress of the house hunting.
