Qin Ruojing's words left Chu Ge speechless again, perhaps even more so than if she had outright rejected him.

Honestly, he really wanted to ask again, "Why don't I need to ask?"

However, since Qin Ruojing had already said that, if he really asked, it would seem like he had no intelligence, even though he truly didn't understand and was quite curious. But he could only mutter to himself and really couldn't bring himself to ask.

He looked at the bank card on the table, then at Qin Ruojing behind the desk. Chu Ge felt that the atmosphere... was a bit odd, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

Especially when he thought about how Qin Ruojing had looked visibly relieved after finding out he wasn't borrowing money to pay off gambling debts, it made him feel even more awkward.

So, Chu Ge simply picked up the bank card, said "Thanks," and turned to walk towards the office door.

"Chu Ge, wait a moment."

Chu Ge's footsteps paused slightly at the doorway, and he turned back.

"Chu Ge, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. You're... not alone."

Chu Ge laughed, revealing two rows of smoke-free, white teeth. He touched his nose with his right index finger, "Yeah, I'm a beast."

After speaking, Chu Ge pushed the door and walked out. However, Qin Ruojing's expression just now seemed like a photograph, vividly appearing in his mind until he went downstairs, sat back into that Maserati, and still lingered for a long time.

On that delicate face, there were hints of helplessness, some blame, a bit of worry, and a touch of words left unspoken.

In short, this scene in Chu Ge's eyes could be described as beautiful beyond measure, as if something in his heart broke through the surface and went "pop."

Leaning on the driver's seat of the Maserati, Chu Ge didn't start the car immediately. He lit a cigarette and played with the bank card Qin Ruojing had just given him.

While the bank card flipped back and forth between the fingers of his right hand, he didn't even notice the slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

Actually, he still had another bank card that He Qing had given him, with well over three million inside. However, he didn't want to use that card, even though he could repay it soon.

Meanwhile, in the chairman's office at the Tianjiao Building, a low voice rang out.

"Beast? More like worse than a beast."

"Achoo!"

A sudden sneeze brought Chu Ge back from his somewhat dazed state. He put the bank card into his bag and dialed Qin Ruoying's number.

The call connected quickly, and Qin Ruoying's voice, just as pleasant as her sister's, came through the receiver.

"Brother-in-law, you haven't called me for a few days. Are you... missing me?"

"Haha, you know, I kind of do. Are you at home now?"

Qin Ruoying's giggling laugh immediately rang out from the phone, very crisp and pleasant.

"Yeah, I haven't gotten out of bed yet. Do you have something to come over for?"

"I do have something; I'll come over now."

Soon, Chu Ge drove to Huafu Garden District. Although he had the key to Qin Ruojing's house, this time he didn't open the door directly but knocked instead.

Qin Ruoying quickly opened the door, and a faint smell of alcohol immediately wafted into Chu Ge's nose. In his sight, Qin Ruoying's pretty face was a little red, appearing somewhat secretive or even furtive.

What puzzled Chu Ge even more was that Qin Ruoying didn't seem to intend to let him in, just standing at the door and giggling, "Brother-in-law, what instructions do you have for me?"

Although Chu Ge found it odd that there was a smell of alcohol in the early morning, he didn't ask much and went straight to the point.

"I want to use your Ferrari 458, is it convenient?"

"No problem, wait a moment, I'll get the car keys for you."

Qin Ruoying jogged a few steps, quickly returning to the door with the Ferrari's car keys. Seeing that Chu Ge didn't intend to come in, she seemed visibly relieved.

"In the next few days, if you need to go out, take the Maserati first. The car is parked next to the Ferrari, here's the car key."

"Okay, then I won't see you off, brother-in-law. I'm still not fully awake, going back to sleep now."

"Alright, bye-bye."

Handing the Maserati's car key to Qin Ruoying, Chu Ge took the Ferrari 458's car key, and with some confusion, went downstairs. In the parking lot, he removed the original license plate from the Ferrari.

Qin Ruojing feeling awkward when she sees him is quite normal, but why did Qin Ruoying blush a little when she saw him?

These two sisters are really strange today...

Chu Ge couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it since it wasn't something important anyway.

Although he had the car keys to a Ferrari 458, Chu Ge didn't immediately drive it away. Instead, he instructed Geng Li, who had long been under his control, to find someone who specialized in fake license plates and get a fake plate from out of town.

Geng Li was clearly really afraid of Chu Ge. When he heard about this matter, he didn't even dare to ask any unnecessary questions, let alone say a word. After nodding and agreeing with a subservient attitude, he immediately got someone to handle it. Not only was it done with high efficiency, but the resulting license plate was indistinguishable from the real thing.

With the money, car, and fake license plate all in place, Chu Ge returned home and called Mu Lingshan, telling her to find an excuse to take a long leave.

Mu Lingshan had been longing for Chu Ge's call, constantly hoping for it. When she finally received it, her excitement was indescribable.

However, she knew the importance of secrecy before any action. Before meeting up with Chu Ge at his home, she didn't show any of this excitement or elation on her face.

"Did you arrange the leave?" Chu Ge asked, watching Mu Lingshan stride eagerly into the room.

"Yes, it's done. Are we going to Jinkai Villa now?" Mu Lingshan rubbed her hands together eagerly, her cheeks slightly flushed with excitement.

Chu Ge shook his head, "No, let's go shopping first. If your performance pleases me, we'll act tonight. If not, we'll have to postpone it for a bit."

"Shopping... shopping?" Mu Lingshan was suddenly stunned.

"Yes, when you're alone with me, your performance is barely passable. But I want to make sure you can still be at ease in front of strangers, showing the demeanor of a lover."

"This..."

Thinking of appearing on the street in that guise, possibly running into someone she knew, Mu Lingshan felt a chill down her spine. She subconsciously furrowed her well-shaped eyebrows, and her gaze became evasive.

Chu Ge raised his eyebrows, "What? Is there a problem?"

Mu Lingshan gritted her teeth. To deal with that villa, she was willing to go all out. Her hesitant gaze gradually turned firm, and she nodded heavily, "Alright! I understand, I will definitely make you satisfied!"

Mu Lingshan was a woman of action. While speaking, she had already taken Chu Ge's arm, replacing the troubled look on her face with the charming demeanor she had practiced all night. She coyly said, "Qian Ge, let's go, Xiaoxue really wants to go shopping with you."

Chu Ge laughed heartily, using the tone and expression of a spoiled young master, "You little minx, trying to gain some benefits from Qian Ge?"

Hearing Chu Ge's crude words, Mu Lingshan felt both shy and angry, wishing she could kick Chu Ge hard. Yet she forced a charming smile, "Qian Ge, I'm not that kind of person. I just like being around you, doesn't matter where we go, even if it's to eat spicy hot pot, Xiaoxue would still be happy."

Chu Ge nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, alright, you can let go for now. Once you dye your hair and put on makeup, and no one around can recognize you, we can continue."

Since it involved a fake identity, they couldn't use their real names. The two had discussed it last night while working it out.

Chu Ge used a fake name with a wicked sense of humor, Qian Kunda, derived from the homophone of "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" for the first three characters.

The "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" is a sharp and domineering skill within novels, and Chu Ge's trip to Jinkai Villa was to create chaos, so the fake name was quite fitting.

As for Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge initially wanted to give her the fake name "Ajiao," but Mu Lingshan strongly opposed it, so they settled on "Xiaoxue."

After all, the name "Ajiao" easily reminded people of certain protagonists from certain scandals, wasn't that like cursing her? Of course, she wouldn't accept it.

Hearing Chu Ge say this, Mu Lingshan was furious, realizing that Chu Ge had been teasing her all along.

But just as she was about to glare at him and her anger was about to show on her face, she saw Chu Ge squint his eyes and swallowed her words.

"Alright, alright, I know I made another mistake. No matter what, I should keep my emotions in check, forget my other identity and see myself as your lover's identity, right?"

Seeing Chu Ge nod in satisfaction again, Mu Lingshan thought angrily to herself, "Bastard, no need for you to bully me now. When it's your turn to beg me, let's see how I deal with you then!"

After leaving Chu Ge's house, the two of them first went to a nearby hair salon to dye their hair, as this time they might need to stay longer, and quick fixes wouldn't work.

Then, the two found a secluded place and disguised themselves before sauntering down the street together.

Chu Ge looked every bit the spoiled young master, with an annoying swagger that begged for a beating.

In the beginning, Mu Lingshan's body was still somewhat tense, but remembering she was in Chu Ge's assessment period, she forced herself to endure the discomfort, constantly reminding herself of her current role, and doing her utmost to play the seductive and enchanting lover.

"Hey? Little... Little Mu?"

When they arrived at a mall, in the women's clothing section intending to buy some clothes for Mu Lingshan, a middle-aged man nearby inadvertently turned his head. Upon seeing Mu Lingshan, he was dumbfounded.

As Mu Lingshan locked eyes with the middle-aged man, her body instantly stiffened, and her heart began to pound wildly.
