Meng Zheqing's face revealed a ghostly smile as he muttered, "Ling Li, Ling Li, you act so aloof usually, but you're already getting tangled up with Chen Fang in just a few days. It seems even your lower half can't stay proper..."

Regardless of anything else.

This piece of news was the best Meng Zheqing had heard in the past few days.

He had been holding in his feelings for nearly ten days.

Finally, it was his turn to let out some pent-up rage.

Once back in the guest room.

Yan Zifang curled up in a corner of the couch.

No sooner had Meng Zheqing shut the door than he stripped himself naked.

He laid down on the bed and commanded, "Come over here, you little slut!"

Yan Zifang used her hands and feet to climb onto the bed.

This time, without needing any guidance from Meng Zheqing, she took the caterpillar into her mouth...

Thanks to the earlier training.

Yan Zifang was noticeably more obedient.

Not only was she cooperative, but she also became more proactive during the encounter.

Meanwhile, as he was making love to Yan Zifang,

Chen Fang and Yu Zhengchuan stepped into a roadside barbecue stall, ordered a few dishes, and started to prepare for a feast with several bottles of beer.

Yu Zhengchuan picked up a skewer of lamb and asked, "Let's settle this first, who's paying today?"

"I'll pay!"

Chen Fang replied, somewhat annoyed.

Hearing this, Yu Zhengchuan was overjoyed.

He began to eat unreservedly.

"How have the girls been lately?"

Chen Fang inquired.

Yu Zhengchuan stuffed his mouth full, as if he feared missing out if he ate slowly.

He mumbled unclearly, "Tiancheng Group's Wulan City branch opened a few days ago, and Ren Yiweng's son Ren Min has also started working there. Everything is going smoothly."

"What about Zifei and Lulu?" Chen Fang continued.

Yu Zhengchuan replied, "Sister Zifei's restaurant is still under renovation, Lulu is still looking for a place, but it should be settled in a few days."

Everything was progressing smoothly.

Which relieved Chen Fang immensely.

After two years of managing in Jiangdong Province,

all the industries under his name had been developing rather successfully.

At present, not only was there no shortage of funds, but there was also a substantial profit. Expanding into Jiangdong Province's market was now imperative.

He believed that once his business was established there, it would be even more profitable than in Jiangdong Province.

It was at this moment,

Yu Zhengchuan suddenly stared intently at the entrance. Chen Fang subconsciously turned around, just in time to see a beautiful woman flanked by two men in black suits walking in.

Huh, that's quite the coincidence. This made it their third encounter.

The leading man in a black suit was older, and Chen Fang recognized him in an instant—it was the same middle-aged man who had searched his room last time.

"Boss, get us a private room," one of the men in black suits called out.

The owner, wiping his greasy hands, replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, sirs, our establishment is small-scale, we don't have any private rooms."

Just as the man in a black suit was about to turn away,

the beautiful woman gestured with her hand and said, "It's fine, just something casual will do. No need for a private room. Call Zhenzhen in, will you?"

Upon hearing this,

the man in the black suit quickly grabbed some paper napkins and began to wipe down a table next to Chen Fang.

After wiping down the entire table and chairs,

the beautiful woman finally took her seat.

Then, a young girl in her early twenties bounced in from outside, sat down across from the beautiful woman, and exclaimed, "Mom, I want lamb skewers, and grilled chicken legs, and..." She rattled off a long list of items in one breath.

The beautiful woman said indulgently, "The food from these places isn't clean, just eat a little to satisfy the craving."

"No, I don't want just a little. You don't let me eat this at home, and now that I'm finally out, you're still not letting me have it," the girl pouted and complained.

This girl was about one meter sixty-five in height.

She was certainly pretty, especially those eyes—large, bright, and full of spirit.

Her fair skin, delicate makeup, and the luxury items she sported made it clear that the girl had likely been raised spoiled and pampered.

Since this beautiful woman was Xiaoxue's stepmother,

then this young lady, unsurprisingly, would be Xiaoxue's half-sister.

The beautiful woman's biological daughter.

"You know that we're not out here to have fun, we're here to find your sister,"

the beautiful woman said.

The girl pouted and replied, "I just don't get it, why Dad insists on finding that little bitch. She ran away on her own, and for all we know, she might already be dead. Why waste the time looking for her?"

Little bitch?

Chen Fang felt a slight tremor in his heart upon hearing this term.

The beautiful woman gave her a glare upon hearing her words and said softly, "I've told you several times, be more respectful when you talk about her."

"Why should I respect her? Mom, didn't you say that if she dies, I will be Dad's most beloved? You've been poisoning her for years, and we finally got our chance today. We should be celebrating."

Another shocking statement.

Chen Fang instantly understood.

All this time, it turned out that Xiaoxue's Blood Reversal was the result of her stepmother feeding her drugs over the long term.

The beautiful woman smiled slightly and said, "No matter what, if your dad told us to find her, we should make a good effort. We have to appear diligent. Eat up, then we'll head back to the hotel to rest."

"What about you?"

the girl asked.

Gazing into the distance, the beautiful woman replied, "Mom has some other matters to take care of."

The barbecue restaurant was noisy.

Their voices were also very low.

Assuming no one would overhear, or if someone did, they wouldn't take the ramblings of strangers seriously,

they had no idea.

Sometimes, things just happen to work out that way.

The speaker might be unintentional, but the listener might take note.

Chen Fang, sitting nearby, had overheard quite a bit of their conversation.

"Finished eating?"

Chen Fang asked Yu Zhengchuan.

Yu Zhengchuan nodded and replied, "Let's go."

As the two of them stepped out of the barbecue restaurant, they saw a Rolls-Royce parked at the curb.

The two exchanged a glance,

and, as if by an unspoken agreement, they walked into a nearby alley.

They waited in hiding for about twenty minutes or so.

A group of people came out.

The young girl got into the Rolls-Royce, and the beautiful woman watched the car drive away.

By then, she was alone, with no one by her side.

In the dead of night, in an unfamiliar place, what was she up to?

Chen Fang looked over at Yu Zhengchuan.

Yu Zhengchuan nodded, walked out of the alley, and hailed a cab, following the departing Rolls-Royce.

The beautiful woman made a phone call, standing in the same spot for about ten minutes. Then, a Mercedes pulled up. Chen Fang focused and saw that the car bore a Wulan City license plate.

Without time to think further,

the Mercedes drove off.

Chen Fang quickly hailed a cab and followed.

The Mercedes stopped at the entrance of a hotel.

Then the rear door opened, and a man and a woman got out.

The woman was, of course, the beautiful woman, and the man appeared to be in his forties, rather handsome. The man and woman, arms around each other's waists, heads leaning together, walked into the hotel amid laughter, clearly in an intimate relationship.

Chen Fang wanted to follow, but fearing he might spook them, he could only watch from a distance.

After a short while,

his phone rang.

It was Yu Zhengchuan calling.

Yu Zhengchuan told Chen Fang that there were no abnormalities with the young girl; she had gone straight to her hotel to rest. Since she had bodyguards with her, it was impossible to get close.

Chen Fang said, "Understood, come back. I'm going to send you a license plate number, help me check out where this car is from..."
