Finally, Ye Chen stepped out of the off-road vehicle, his face brimming with the pride of spring.

Qin Lan watched Ye Chen leave, too stunned to utter a word.

This guy was too bad, not knowing how to sweet-talk a woman at all, Qin Lan wasn't happy in the slightest.

"What's with that look? Do you want more?" Ye Chen teased with a provocative tone.

"You bastard!" Qin Lan really lost out today; this guy was all take and no give.

"Say one more word about me, and I'll bully you even more!" Ye Chen chuckled.

"You're infuriating! I'm going to run you over with my car!" Qin Lan slammed on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle roared, charging at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't move because the off-road vehicle made a piercing skidding sound; Qin Lan naturally couldn't bear to hit Ye Chen and instead turned around and fled.

The events of the day had been too surreal; Qin Lan found herself unable to face Ye Chen any longer, wanting only to escape and take some time to process everything.

"Today, the common people, ah, are really so very happy, I am happy, I am happy..."

Ye Chen walked into the residential area in high spirits; with the exceptional madman Menghu in charge, the threat of the Crocodile was no longer a concern, and a beautiful policewoman had thrown herself into his arms, he had no reason not to be happy.

However, Ye Chen's mentality had subtly shifted in a way he had not noticed himself; he had become fond of flirting and wanted to collect beauties.

"Ye Chen!"

As Ye Chen walked down the streets of the residential area, a sudden voice came from behind him.

"Liu Shihua?"

Ye Chen turned around, surprised to see the star.

"Where have you been all day?" Liu Shihua walked over and asked.

"Hmm?" Ye Chen was somewhat puzzled as Liu Shihua seemed very strange today.

"Quick, where have you been?" Liu Shihua looked up at Ye Chen and pressed for an answer.

Could it be, she knew something?

Ye Chen thought of Qin Lan and couldn't help feeling guilty.

Liu Shihua was, after all, his aunt-in-law; if she discovered anything, a storm was sure to come his way!

"The people who kidnapped you last time left some loose ends, I was tracking down their information!" Ye Chen replied calmly.

"Hmph!" Wearing a duckbill hat, Liu Shihua let out a cold laugh, her face full of disdain.

Normally, Liu Shihua might have believed Ye Chen's words, but she had just seen Ye Chen with another woman.

"Where did you go to track down that person's information?" Liu Shihua's tone was thick with suspicion.

"Hmm?" Ye Chen was momentarily stunned. "You don't believe me?"

"Did you go to that policewoman, spending the day with her?" Liu Shihua's words were sharp.

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen feigned innocence.

"Haha, still pretending?" Liu Shihua's tone shifted. "I saw everything just now; that policewoman's name is Qin Lan, and you were acting improperly with her!"

"Food can be randomly chosen, but words can't be randomly spoken!" A thought struck Ye Chen; had Liu Shihua seen him with Qin Lan?

"I knew you would make excuses!" Liu Shihua mocked. "Three minutes and seven seconds, a lengthy encounter, I've recorded it on my phone!"

"What!" Ye Chen was shocked.

"Ye Chen, is this how you treat Xinlan?" Liu Shihua rebuked him.

Ye Chen fell silent, feeling extremely uncomfortable being caught red-handed by his aunt-in-law; it was like being at the mercy of someone else's whim!

"Say something, you bastard!" Liu Shihua cursed in anger.

"..." Ye Chen didn't dare to respond, as he felt guilty.

Half an hour later.

"Ye Chen? You're back?" Zhang Xinlan brightened up upon seeing Ye Chen.

"Yeah, I'm back!" Ye Chen replied.

"How's the investigation? Did they catch that big demon?" Zhang Xinlan inquired, deeply concerned about the matter as it related to their safety.

"Didn't catch that person, but he probably won't come to trouble us anymore," Ye Chen answered nonchalantly.

Ye Chen wondered, quite puzzled why Liu Shihua wasn't there; wasn't the star supposed to expose him?

"Where's the star?" Ye Chen asked.

"She went back to her room. She went out for a walk just now and then went straight to her room to sleep without saying a word. She must be tired," Zhang Xinlan explained.

"Oh!" Ye Chen replied casually.

Seeing Zhang Xinlan's calm composure, Ye Chen secretly pondered, it seemed like Liu Shihua hadn't exposed his misdeeds.

"Ye Chen, have you eaten?" Zhang Xinlan asked.

"Not yet!"

"I saved some food for you; let me go warm it up!" Zhang Xinlan said with a smile, her eyes soft as she gazed at Ye Chen.

"I missed you today!" Ye Chen sweet-talked.

"I'm not playing with you, I'm going to the kitchen to heat your food!" Zhang Xinlan gave Ye Chen a dismissive glance and dashed into the kitchen.

Ye Chen followed her into the kitchen.

Ye Chen, like a tiger descending the mountain, found that Zhang Xinlan did not dodge. But suddenly, her pupils shrank as she noticed the lipstick mark on Ye Chen's neck.
