Chen Cheng watched the market at Lucy's place for a while. When the time was about right, calculating that He Minhong had already left, he returned to the 23rd floor.

Sitting in front of the computer, he looked through the messages and documents gathered from all aspects.

Chen Cheng was now like a cunning rabbit with many burrows.

In every apartment he owned, there was a set of computers, a safe... and a wine cabinet.

Each safe contained 2 million Hua Yuan, plus various foreign currencies equivalent to 8 million Hua Yuan, and a Nokia phone.

Recently, Fang Sijin had also been helping him buy gold.

He was once poor and terrified of it.

The numbers in a bank card never felt as secure as physical banknotes.

Chen Cheng looked at the message from Yu Chuhui, his gaze narrowing.

[Brother Cheng, are you and Lucy... ]

Chen Cheng tapped on the keyboard and replied indifferently with two words: [What is it?]

Yu Chuhui snorted, still pretending. [Are you and Lucy together too?]

Damn, how did it leak here first?

Chen Cheng rubbed his forehead, wondering whether to admit it or not.

After thinking about it, as a man, he had to be firm!

[Yes, do you have a problem with that?]

[You!] Yu Chuhui gritted her teeth when she saw the message.

[How could you be like this! You clearly have a girlfriend!]

Chen Cheng smiled at her message. [It's not like this is the first day you've known I have many girlfriends.]

[I...]

[But it can't be Lucy. A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its own burrow.]

[Then what about you?]

"..." Yu Chuhui's face immediately turned red; she had done the same thing.

After holding it in for a long while, the more Yu Chuhui thought about it, the angrier she got. She thought for a bit and started typing.

[Does Lucy know she has other sisters?]

Chen Cheng paused, deliberating on how to reply to her.

This didn't just involve himself anymore; it also involved Lucy's image.

If she knew, she was knowingly being the 'other woman'. If she didn't know, then he, Chen Cheng, was a piece of trash.

However, Yu Chuhui didn't seem to have the right to question him.

Who do you think you are?

[Are you questioning me?]

Yu Chuhui gasped.

Pah, scumbag. How did I fall for you?

Pah! Pah! Pah!

I'm so angry!

Seeing that she didn't send any more messages, the corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly as he continued reading his documents.

Near noon, just as Chen Cheng was about to have Eleven go to a restaurant to pick up some food, the doorbell rang.

Chen Cheng's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Who would it be at this time?"

Opening the door, an unexpected person was standing there.

Zhou Lin.

He frowned. "Miss Zhou."

Zhou Lin was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and lipstick, her curvaceous figure wrapped in a black 'MILF-style' dress.

A large area of snow-white skin was exposed at her chest, with an I-shaped cleavage that was mysterious and charming.

With just one glance, Chen Cheng could tell that this woman had intentionally dressed up before coming to his door.

Zhou Lin's brows were full of allure, every frown and smile exuding charm. Her lips curved into a crescent shape. "I didn't expect Chairman Chen to actually be at home."

"How did you know I was home?"

Chen Cheng's frown didn't relax; his confusion only grew.

Only his Bodyguards should know his whereabouts. How did Zhou Lin manage to corner him so accurately?

"Well, I was coming back from buying groceries and saw your car in the parking lot outside the complex, so I guessed you were home."

Chen Cheng then understood and smiled. "Oh, I see. Is there something you need?"

Zhou Lin smiled, hesitating. "Well... how about we go inside to talk?"

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and turned to enter the house. Zhou Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the food container in her hand, and followed him.

"Miss Zhou, would you like something to drink?" Chen Cheng walked to the fridge and turned to ask her.

Zhou Lin was stunned, not expecting Chen Cheng to pour her a drink. She shook her head. "No need, thank you Chairman Chen, I'm not thirsty."

Chen Cheng shrugged and still opened the fridge to take out a bottle of mineral water.

Just as he was about to sit in the living room, he saw Zhou Lin placing the food container on the dining table.

He walked over, took a look, and glanced at Zhou Lin. "Miss Zhou, this is?"

Zhou Lin smiled. "I guessed Chairman Chen hadn't eaten yet. Since I happened to be home today, I made some home-cooked dishes for Chairman Chen to try. I wasn't sure if I guessed right."

Chen Cheng looked over the dishes laid out on the table.

Four dishes and a soup—quite a feast.

She had come prepared.

Chen Cheng wasn't polite; he pulled out a chair and sat down.

Zhou Lin's lips immediately curled up as she smiled at Chen Cheng. "Chairman Chen, do you have bowls and chopsticks?"

Chen Cheng pointed to the kitchen. "In the disinfection cabinet."

Zhou Lin nodded with a smile and walked into the kitchen with small steps.

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, just watching her busy herself.

After a while, Zhou Lin had everything ready.

She placed a set of bowls and chopsticks in front of Chen Cheng and poured a glass of water.

She then sat down opposite Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng had no intention of picking up the chopsticks. He crossed his arms and sized up the sexy and seductive 'Sister Lan' with interest.

He hadn't realized before that her figure was so impressive.

With Scum Cheng's experience, she was more than enough to be a 'meat-filled bun'.

"Miss Zhou, have you made up your mind?"

Zhou Lin laughed awkwardly and pushed the plate on the table forward. "Chairman Chen, why don't we eat and talk?"

"It seems Miss Zhou has some other ideas," Chen Cheng chuckled.

Zhou Lin's expression froze. After a moment of thought, she steeled herself and said, "Yes, I do have some other ideas."

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile. "Let's hear them."

Zhou Lin's lips twitched. After pondering for two seconds and taking a deep breath, she spoke: "I want ten million, and I want my son to attend one of the top twenty kindergartens in Shanghai."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow. That was quite a tall order.

"Miss Zhou, do you think you're worth that price?"

Zhou Lin didn't show any sign of embarrassment. Her eyes darted around. "What if I say I have dirt on Xie Zhiyuan?"

"Oh?" Chen Cheng laughed.

"Miss Zhou, why would you think I need dirt on Xie Zhiyuan?"

"Because he also asked me to seduce you."

Uh... Chen Cheng was speechless. Why did this Senior Brother Xie like to send women to his classmates and juniors so much?

Well... that wasn't quite right. Zhou Lin was at most a tool for his sexual bribery.

But Shen Jing was different. However, he probably didn't know yet that he was wearing a green hat, otherwise he would have retaliated long ago.

Having figured out the connections, Chen Cheng's frown relaxed quite a bit.

He looked at Zhou Lin with a smile. "Seduce me for what? I'm not in the government system, nor am I single."

Zhou Lin chuckled. "What if it's to get your DNA and sue you for r-ape?"

Chen Cheng's expression immediately hardened. Fine, my dear senior brother is already plotting against me.

He raised an eyebrow at Zhou Lin. "I have no grudge with him. What is he after?"

Zhou Lin said bluntly, "He wants to invest in your fund."

Pfft~

Chen Cheng burst out laughing. "He's dreaming."

Zhou Lin pursed her lips and smiled, her tone carrying a hint of admiration. "That's just how he is. He dares to think and dares to act. He'll use any means necessary to achieve his goals."

Chen Cheng looked at Zhou Lin with interest. "Why would he think I'd take an interest in you?

Or does he think a person like me lacks beautiful women around him?"
