The afterglow of the setting sun painted the sky with crimson hues.

Zhong Tingyue stretched, her slender waist resembling a snake, gentle as water.

"It's time to leave work."

"I wonder what Mr. Chu is up to? He hasn't messaged me in ages."

Generally speaking, when Chu Fang is not by Zhong Tingyue's side, he will harass her with messages every half hour or so, either sending emojis or funny videos.

Or they send all sorts of nonsensical news, such as: a girl doesn't want to reply to a boy because she doesn't love him anymore, and the boy should let go and end the relationship; and if the girl wants to save the boy, it's simple, a gentle hug is enough; several reasons why a girlfriend doesn't reply to messages: one, she's cheating; two, she's cheating; three, she's cheating... and so on.

This afternoon, Chu Fang didn't bother her at all, and didn't send her a single message.

That's really strange.

After packing up her documents, Zhong Tingyue left the studio and returned home. As always, the tabby cat rushed into her arms first, meowing softly.

"Damn it! That damn cat! I'm the one feeding it, and it only gets along with you!" Chu Fang poked his head out of the kitchen and said indignantly, "One day, I'll kill it!"

Zhong Tingyue was busy with work, and Chu Fang took care of the three pets at home. He would take the three of them to the pet store for baths and checkups from time to time.

Even so, the tabby cat was unwilling to pay attention to him and often fought with him.

What's the difference between this behavior and keeping a mistress who has other men outside the marriage?

Chu Fang felt like he had been cuckolded by a cat.

"You must treat Lily with sincerity." Zhong Tingyue's eyebrows were curved, just like the bright moon.

"Am I not sincere enough?"

"Only after you are sincere will you realize that sincerity is useless, and that relationships between people need to be bound together."

He said quietly, "This is a cat."

"Well, that's about right."

Chu Fang: "... ...Go wash your hands, dinner is ready."

After washing her hands, Zhong Tingyue came out and saw a variety of delicious dishes on the table: braised prawns, tomato beef ribs, fried eggs with chives, stir-fried beef rolls with onions, and pork rib and corn soup.

"Why is dinner so plentiful tonight?" Zhong Tingyue peeled a large shrimp and fed it to Chu Fang, then peeled one for herself, took a bite, and said, "Mr. Chu's cooking skills are still as amazing as ever. This shrimp is absolutely delicious."

Chu Fang casually replied, "I picked up 800,000 today."

"Where did you find it? Take me to find one too."

Zhong Tingyue admired her husband's earning ability; he always seemed to make a lot of money out of thin air, from all sorts of different angles.

Just like last time, Chu Fang pretended to be Xiang Linlin's boyfriend to deceive Bao Yan. Bao Yan gave him a car, and in the end, he got a million for nothing.

Another example is Chu Fang, who spent money on games and eventually became the top player in the entire server. When he didn't want to play anymore, he sold his account, and after deducting the money he spent, he actually made a profit.

Anyway, Chu Fang always manages to make money from angles she doesn't know about.

Zhong Tingyue believed that even if Chu Fang wasn't a financial genius, he would definitely be a successful person.

Chu Fang said calmly, "I found it at Ye Zhijie's place."

"who?!"

"Ye Zhijie".

Zhong Tingyue was quite surprised, but then she realized, "He went to see you?"

"Yes," Chu Fang replied, "They also crashed my car and I had to pay 800,000 yuan in compensation."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue got up, touched Chu Fang's body, and checked where there was a problem.

"I'm fine, it was just a simple rear-end collision."

Seeing that Chu Fang was alright, Zhong Tingyue breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "It's not as simple as a rear-end collision."

"Of course I know." Chu Fang rolled his eyes. "I'm just really confused. Why did he say it was because you spent eight years in prison? Does that mean you put him in prison?"

"It's a long story."

"To put it simply..."

Zhong Tingyue pondered for a moment, organizing her thoughts: "I've always suspected that Ye Zhijie is an extreme and mentally unstable person."

"Ye Zhijie had a violent temper. Back in college, he often hung out with delinquents and frequently got into fights with other students. He was ruthless in his attacks and was criticized a lot for it, but he never changed."

“One day, Ye Zhijie suddenly said he liked me and wanted me to be his girlfriend, which I naturally refused.”

"He threatened that if I didn't agree, he would go and chop someone up."

“I thought he was just saying it casually, but I never expected him to actually go and kill someone, leaving them half-dead. He was eventually sentenced and imprisoned for it, and was only recently released.”

Zhong Tingyue paused for a moment: "I think he blamed me for his imprisonment and then came to you."

Chu Fang: "..."

"Is he sick?"

He threatened to kill someone if they didn't agree to be his girlfriend. It was one thing to say, but Ye Zhijie actually went and killed someone.

"Does he like you a lot?" Chu Fang asked.

“Hmm… not really.” Zhong Tingyue stroked her delicate chin. “We didn’t interact during college. He went his sunny path, and I went my narrow bridge. We kept to ourselves.”

"We hadn't even spoken a word to each other before he asked me to be his girlfriend."

"Then why is he so crazy?" Chu Fang couldn't understand.

"After the stabbing incident, I asked one of Ye Zhijie's close friends. That friend said that Ye Zhijie made a bet with someone, claiming that he could catch me, and the wager was that if he couldn't catch me, Ye Zhijie would help the winner kill an enemy."

Chu Fang: "..."

He finally understood a saying: "In a big forest, you'll find all kinds of birds."

Ye Zhijie is the 'most outstanding' bird.

Chu Fang began to wonder if he was the only normal person in the world.

He spent a great deal of time and energy processing this extremely rare story.

After processing the whole story, Chu Fang slowly exhaled: "After Ye Zhijie was released, he regarded you as the enemy who sent him to prison, and he wanted to take revenge on you."

Zhong Tingyue asked, "What does Mr. Chu intend to do?"

"I want to strike first."

Judging from this story and the car accident that happened today, Ye Zhijie cannot be viewed from a normal perspective. This person is mentally unstable, and who knows what crazy things he might do next.

Chu could not allow the other side to do that.

He decided to nip this person in the bud.

Is it illegal?

"What you're saying is nonsense, of course it's illegal, but I can circumvent it."

"OK."

The two exchanged a few casual words and then made a decision.

Chu Fang stared at Zhong Tingyue's exquisite face, which resembled a fairy.

Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?

"The old saying is so true, 'Beauty is a curse,' and you, you curse, have ruined me!"

"Then I'll get some work done to make myself look uglier."

"There's absolutely no need for that!"

Chu Fang was afraid of having nightmares at night.
