The sound of police sirens grew nearer and nearer. Chuzheng stood up and pulled Jiang Ye into the car.

That person was stuffed into the trunk.

Chuzheng stood downstairs for a moment before finally getting into the car.

“Where are you going?” Chuzheng asked him.

Jiang Ye thought she wouldn’t let him go and took almost three seconds to respond, “Just drop me off wherever there’s a crowd.”

This was a strange city to him, unfamiliar.

As the car drove off, Jiang Ye looked back. Something was being dragged on the ground behind the last car, leaving a messy trail through the dust.

“…”

The bodyguard drove along a small road, conveniently avoiding the police cars.

Jiang Ye withdrew his gaze, leaning back in his seat, “Miss Sheng, aren’t you afraid they’ll trace it back to you after leaving those people behind?”

“They won’t trace it back,” Chuzheng said with certainty.

Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, “Why not?”

Chuzheng glanced at him, said nothing.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Without a body to be found, one could only see a crime scene at most.

No person, what’s there to investigate?

Do they think I’m stupid?

When Jiang Ye didn’t get an answer after a long wait, he continued, “Miss Sheng, those people just now… they weren’t from around here.”

Whom had she offended?

Sheng Ting?

It shouldn’t be him.

Sheng Ting didn’t need to hire others to act… and he had no need to do it on someone else’s territory.

“Oh.”

Chuzheng looked straight ahead, seemingly indifferent.

She had trouble on her hands and wanted to get rid of Jiang Ye quickly to avoid dragging the Good Person Card into this mess.

Jiang Ye’s lips moved slightly, but he said nothing more.

Communicating with her was so difficult.

The car stopped in a square, and Jiang Ye pushed the door open.

He stood by the door, slightly bent over, his beautiful eyes carrying a faint smile, “Miss Sheng, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. I won’t forget it.”

It was indeed a memorable experience.

Impossible to forget even if he wanted to.

He never should have gotten in her car!!

“Call me if you need anything.”

Jiang Ye smiled, took a step back, and closed the car door.

The young man quickly disappeared into the crowd, and Chuzheng waited a while before telling her people to drive off.

With a bound person in tow, one couldn’t blatantly fly on a plane.

Chuzheng simply bought a plane.

However, having bought a plane didn’t mean she could just fly off, so the King’s Account prompted Chuzheng to purchase an aviation company.

And so Chuzheng extravagantly acquired an aviation company.

The bodyguards admired their employer’s boldness.

They won’t let me fly, eh?

Fine!

I’ll buy your company!

Let’s see if you let me fly now!

–

Sheng Family Manor.

The man was roused by a pail of cold water, he looked around somewhat dazedly.

The luxurious decor gave the man a momentary illusion.

Where is this place?

“Miss, he’s awake,” a bodyguard spoke into a radio from a distance.

A voice cold to the extreme came from within.

The man became fully alert in an instant.

Sounds quickly approached the door as a girl entered with two tall and muscular bodyguards.

The man watched Chuzheng warily.

Chuzheng walked into the room, the bodyguards immediately brought over a chair, and she sat down, crossing her legs elegantly, her fingers resting on the back of the chair in a perfect posture of authority.

“Who sent you to cause me trouble?”

The man did not speak, just stared at Chuzheng.

The bodyguards moved forward to administer torture. These bodyguards seemed to have undergone some bizarre training, completely refraining from physical violence.

Yet what they did was more unbearable than violence could ever be.

Could you drink two large glasses of lemon juice on an empty stomach?!

How much?

A liter.

Just squeezed! Absolutely fresh and eco-friendly!

Chuzheng had only asked that one question, and after that, it was the bodyguard who acted; she sat behind, sipping tea.

At one point, annoyed by the noise he made, she even had someone tape his mouth shut.

Two hours later, the man hung his head.

“Someone… hired… hired us to come, to… to grab you, we don’t know why.”

The man was a foreigner, but he spoke fluent Mandarin.

Chuzheng’s gaze grew colder: “Who hired you?”

Zhuang Yi? Sheng Ting? Or some other damn thing?

“Don’t know,” the man shook his head.

The other party had contacted them through an intermediary; they had never met the employer.

This job paid well, and since it was about capturing a young girl, they thought it wouldn’t be difficult.

Little did they know it would turn out like this.

Chuzheng’s fingertips rested on her wrist, her voice icy as it filled the room: “Does your intermediary know him?”

The man didn’t dare to confirm: “Maybe… might know.”

–

The client had only instructed them to capture someone, not where to go for the transaction afterward, obviously waiting to be contacted.

Chuzheng couldn’t figure out why someone would want to kidnap her.

The original host was being confined by Sheng Ting during this time, unaware of what was happening outside.

So Chuzheng didn’t know whether this turn of events was due to some change she made, or if it was bound to happen.

Everyone must think she’s so pitiable, wanting to bully her!

Utterly inhumane!

Poor little Chuzheng was extremely desperate.

Longing for the hair of the Good Person Card.

Actually, being held by the Good Person Card was quite comfortable…

Chuzheng missed her Good Person Card, but it was just a thought; she had no intention of sending a text or making a call.

–

“Ah-choo…”

Jiang Ye sneezed.

He was puzzled for a moment, gathering his clothes—it wasn’t cold…

“Master Jiang, are you alright?”

Jiang Ye sat in a dark corner, heard the voice, reined in his puzzlement, and gestured for the other to sit down.

The person was none other than the man Chuzheng had previously coerced into buying shoes for two thousand.

“No one’s followed you, right?”

“Don’t worry, Master Jiang, no one,” Chen Jiu nodded: “Now everyone says you pocketed that batch of goods, our people are being held down, Master Liu hasn’t made a statement yet, but from I see, it seems Master Liu doesn’t believe you…”

Jiang Ye had anticipated this situation.

Ever since the Sheng Family’s downfall, his own status and prestige had been rising.

Originally, Master Liu had promoted him, seeing his capability, for Hei Jin, for his own interests.

But now, he could pose a threat to Master Liu’s top position.

Besides, Master Liu was a naturally suspicious person.

“How’s the search for the traitor going?”

Twice now, his location had been exposed.

There was definitely a traitor among his ranks.

“So far, no clues,” Chen Jiu frowned.

Master Jiang was silent for a moment: “Arrange a meeting with Master Liu for me.”

“Master Jiang, is it appropriate to see Master Liu now?”

“If I don’t see Master Liu soon, I’m afraid I’ll truly have to carry this blame,” Jiang Ye’s lips curled in a cold smile: “I have a pretty good idea who took that batch of goods.”

Chen Jiu seemed to have an idea as well.

“But Master Jiang, we don’t have any evidence, even if we convince Master Liu, the people below won’t be satisfied.”

Jiang Ye said: “Just arrange it for me first.”

Chen Jiu: “Yes.”

Chen Jiu paused for a few seconds, then asked: “Master Jiang, may I ask you a question?”

Jiang Ye looked at him, indicating for him to ask.

“Your relationship with Sheng Chuzheng from the Sheng Family, what is it?”

“… No relationship.”

Jiang Ye stood up and strode away.

Chen Jiu stayed in place, scratching his head in confusion, no relationship, does Master Jiang need to react so strongly?
