The words "pure and innocent" shocked Mo Huaixing, turning his face pale. He staggered back two steps and stammered, "Can't you forget him?"

"No! How can you forget the person you love?" Gan Tang pushed away the frozen man and left.

By the time we returned to Qinglong Bay, it was already dark. In the square, the loud cracking of whips was mixed with painful howls.

When Gan Tang entered, she saw Zhang Po and the rest of the group who had gone out with her lying on benches, with people holding whips and carrying out punishments beside them.

"Stop!" Gan Tang roared, walking towards Ali who was standing under the porch, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Tang'er!" The villa door opened, and Lu Zhengqian strode towards his daughter, who had been missing for three days, asking with concern, "Let Dad see if you're hurt."

"Dad, I'm fine!" Gan Tang removed her hand from her face and pointed to the group of people being whipped in the yard. "Dad, it's not their fault, please forgive them!"

"Continue!" Lu Zhengqian angrily pulled his daughter into the living room. Gan Tang whispered, "Dad, it really has nothing to do with them. I went there on purpose."

"Deliberate?" Lu Zhengqian frowned. He had his suspicions, after all, he had told his daughter beforehand not to go out.

Gan Tang sat down on the sofa and pointed to the door. "Release them and I'll tell you."

Lu Zhengqian waved his hand, and Mo Huaixing, who had followed him in, turned and left.

"You can say it now!"

Gan Tang watched as people were carried away from the square, and pouted in dissatisfaction: "All you know how to do is punish my people. Pang Lou asked you for ten billion, and you wouldn't even give it to him. My life isn't even worth ten billion in your eyes?"

"Nonsense, you are priceless."

"Hmph!" Gan Tang was dissatisfied. She picked up an orange from the coffee table and started peeling it, saying disdainfully, "Anyone can say sweet nothings. If it weren't for Chu Jiahe, I would be dead."

“Young Miss!” At this moment, Mo Huaixing came back and explained on Lu Zhengqian’s behalf: “Pang Lou is treacherous. If we give him money, he will kill Young Miss without any scruples.”

As he spoke, he placed a button-sized locator on the coffee table. "Mr. Fu has already made arrangements to rescue Miss along the way. Even without Chu Jiahe, Miss will be safe and sound."

"What business is it of yours? Get out of here right now!" Gan Tang shooed him away.

Mo Huaixing stood still and looked at Lu Zhengqian.

Lu Zhengqian waved his hand: "You've worked hard too, go and get some rest!"

"Yes!" Mo Huaixing turned and left.

Gan Tang watched his departing figure, then glared at Lu Zhengqian with dissatisfaction: "Hey, what did he mean by that? My words have no effect, I have to ask you. And you, my man, who gave you the right to give orders?"

"Alright, alright, you're my person. Dad will never give orders randomly again." Lu Zhengqian affectionately snatched the orange his daughter had peeled and asked, "What, you don't want him to know?"

“That’s my secret, why should I tell him?” Gan Tang smiled smugly and continued, “Dad, in a few days, can you let me go to Canglan with Mo Huaixing?”

He had clearly told her not to go out, so she needed to give him an explanation.

“Dad, actually, being kidnapped by Pang Lou was my own choice. Don’t be angry,” Gan Tang looked straight at him, her eyes filled with deep affection. “We are family who have been through thick and thin together. I want to help you.”

Mo Huaixing stood on the balcony, looking at the most luxurious and magnificent villa in Qinglong Garden. He knew she would give a reasonable explanation for her actions, and then draw herself even deeper into this vortex.

Because she wanted to leave this place and go to the man she loved.

Thinking of this, Mo Huaixing could no longer remain calm and turned to go downstairs. The car drove towards the Harvest Convenience Store opposite the Lu Group, but upon arrival, he looked at the lights inside and drove over.

Some things need to be done faster.

The next morning, Mo Huaixing drove to the Yunhai Narcotics Enforcement Detachment, the detachment where his father worked.

On the playground, Mo Huaixing looked at the newly laid rubber track and heard harsh reprimands.

"Who sent you!"

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, he was very close. Mo Huaixing rubbed his ears and said distantly, "Deputy Captain Sheng, I'm here today to inspect our group's achievements. The chairman specifically instructed that if there's anything you need, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Does this need your help?" Sheng Weide was still angry.

"I came whether you needed me or not," Mo Huaixing explained. "Now that Pang Lou has been captured, it makes no sense that I came to gather information."

"How could you be so reckless?" Sheng Weide was still dissatisfied: "Pang Lou's case is under Canglan's jurisdiction, what's the meaning of your coming here?"

"Isn't it unreasonable for different branches under the same department to exchange information on such a big case?" Mo Huaixing was quite critical of his father's cautious approach: "Now that there is an inside man, can you guarantee that your communication routes won't have problems? Only by taking things by surprise can you catch people off guard."

“Fine,” Sheng Weide said, losing his temper. “Tell me, what do you want to do?”

“You need to put on a show.” Mo Huaixing explained, “Fu Yuanshan still cares about his daughter, but he would rather risk his life to save her himself than inform Chu Jiahe, which proves that he is not sure whether Pang Lou has evidence of his crimes. Find a way to get his people to do it.”

“Acting is no problem, but since the actors aren’t under my control, it’s not easy for me to make arrangements.”

That's your problem!

"You brat, get lost." Sheng Weide stretched out his foot to kick him.

"Hey, be careful, there might be someone watching you." Mo Huaixing took a step back, pulled his hat down low, and left. Although no one in the detachment knew him, it was still better to be cautious.

Sheng Weide, still wary, took two steps forward and warned, "This method is fast, but it might arouse suspicion if you're not careful."

Once Fu Yuanshan discovers it's a trap, he'll know there's a spy among his men. No matter how skilled an undercover agent is, once investigated, no one can guarantee a clean getaway.

Although using the previous method of checking goods one by one was a bit slow, at least it wouldn't arouse Fu Yuanshan's suspicion that there was an inside traitor.

Mo Huaixing said, "It's not safe for me to stay in Canglan all the time."

In this way, he wouldn't have to go to Canglan anymore, and she wouldn't have to go with him.

Sheng Weide sighed, "That's good too. Qianqian has waited for you for so many years. The sooner you come back, the sooner you two can get married."

Mo Huaixing frowned. "Why are you talking nonsense again?"

"I'm talking nonsense. You were the one who promised to marry her."

"I can't explain it to you clearly." Mo Huaixing said impatiently and walked away quickly.

On his way back to Qinglong Bay, he made a detour to the Chu Group. However, he parked his car outside the group's building for a long time without seeing Chu Jiahe. By the time Mo Huaixing returned to Qinglong Bay, it was already dark.

The guard told him that Mr. Fu was looking for him. He parked his car and rushed over.

The villa was bustling with activity. He Zhong, Fu Cheng, and Ali were playing mahjong with Lu Zhengqian. Gan Tang and Fu Shaojie were sitting on the sofa playing on their phones.
