Scattered clouds can never reunite; they will drift to their own places, shedding their last tear, until they vanish into nothingness.

Let's go!

Gan Tang got into the car and closed her eyes weakly. After a long while, the car didn't move. Gan Tang opened her eyes in confusion and asked, "Why aren't we leaving?"

The car shot off in a flash.

Chu Jiahe and Gan Tang arranged to meet on the rooftop of the Pearl Tower, because the Pearl Tower's shape resembled a valley. The locals gave the Pearl Tower a descriptive name: Pearl Valley.

There, you can see the bright moon and the surging sea. On the day of the full moon, you can accurately observe the tides changing with the moon through a telescope.

Chu Jiahe said it was the magical power of nature, so on the fifteenth of the lunar month, he asked her to watch the moon and the sea. At the time, Gan Tang just smiled faintly. She didn't know what the power of nature was; she only knew that what brought her was the power of money.

The car slowly came to a stop by the roadside.

Gan Tang looked out of the car window and asked in surprise, "We're not there yet?"

Mo Huaixing handed a tissue to the back seat and said in a low voice, "Wipe your eyes, they're all swollen from crying."

It wasn't just his eyes that were swollen; his mouth was even more swollen, clearly from being kissed. All the way home, he looked at that face in the rearview mirror, imagining countless scenarios.

"Yeah?"

Gan Tang didn't take it. Instead, she took out a makeup mirror from her bag and used thick foundation to cover it up little by little. Her lips were a bit noticeable, so she could only cover them with bright red lipstick.

After finishing her makeup, Gan Tang looked up and caught a glimpse of the gaze fixed on her in the rearview mirror. Embarrassed, she retreated to the door. "How am I any different from Miss now?"

"Oh, I forgot, you've been calling me Miss for a long time." Gan Tang didn't even want his answer, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and closed her eyes again.

The words Mo Huaixing wanted to say were stuck in his throat, rough and itchy. But he still had to remind her.

"Don't try to make Chu Jiahe dislike you and thus cancel the engagement. Chu Jiahe liked you the first time she saw you."

This was something Mo Huaixing hadn't expected, because the thirty-year-old Chu Jiahe had never had any romantic scandals.

"Mr. Fu doesn't know about your affair with Cao Yunbo because he doesn't need to know right now. Once you and Chu Jiahe have a problem, he will investigate the past thoroughly. It's impossible for him to find out the slightest clue about anything that has happened."

The woman in the car did not react at all; her faint sobs were suppressed by her barely controlled breathing.

Mo Huaixing, who never minced words, tried to persuade her: "Chu Jiahe is obsessed with science and has always been dedicated to research. His love life is simple. Even disregarding his family background, he is an excellent man. Marrying him would be a good choice."

"Don't worry, I will cooperate fully and will not hinder your promotion."

With a loud bang, Gan Tang slammed the car door shut and walked alone toward the Pearl Building.

She was just one intersection away from the Pearl Tower. Mo Huaixing didn't chase after her in his car. He kept his high beams on, watching the cold wind whip her thin clothes and watch her walk further and further away from him.

...

Inside the opulent villa, He Zhong sat on the sofa, watching the surveillance footage projected onto the wall. The footage showed the Vientiane Apartment that Cao Yunbo had rented.

"stop!"

He Zhong looked at Yu Dayong with suspicion, "How did Lu Xintang know about the drug trafficking? Did Fu Yuanshan tell her?"

“Impossible.” He immediately denied the guess.

How could Lu Zhengqian allow the child of the woman he loves most to come into contact with drugs? Otherwise, he wouldn't be so actively developing legitimate businesses.

Yu Dayong thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that Miss found out about the Zhu Zi Man Cheng Club incident last time?"

"No matter what, it seems this young lady is very afraid of her father's drug dealing. Well, it's normal for ordinary people to be afraid of drugs."

He Zhong opened the drawer of the coffee table, inside which lay a piece of white paper. He had specifically asked someone to examine the powder on it; it was asthma medication. But clearly, he was hiding it from everyone, including his parents.

But unfortunately, Lu Xintang ran into it.

This is truly a stroke of luck!

He Zhongxin came up with a plan and handed the blank sheet of paper to Yu Dayong. "Here, wrap the drug that looks most like an asthma attack in this paper and give it to Cao Yunbo. Tell him that only by making Lu Xintang believe that Chu Jiahe is using drugs can he win Lu Xintang back."

Yu Dayong took the medicine paper and couldn't help but ask, "Fourth Master, you have Miss's nude photos. You could just hand them over to a credible media outlet. Why go through all this trouble?"

He Zhong glared at him: "Which media outlet would dare publish nude photos of the eldest daughter of the Lu family? If the media then hands the photos over to Lu Zhengqian, he won't even know how he died."

Can't I just post it online?

Yu Dayong didn't dare ask any more questions and lowered his head to admit his mistake: "Fourth Master is still the wise one."

He Zhong waved his hand and asked, "How did the cosmetic surgery go?"

“It will take some more time!” Yu Dayong shook his head at this point: “Now the appearance is about 70 or 80 percent similar, but in terms of temperament, it is really not as good as Miss Lin.”

He Zhong sighed. Lu Zhengqian was a cautious man. No matter how much he liked a woman, he would not keep her by his side for more than two years. Lin Shuang was the one who stayed the longest, for nearly three years.

"Speed ​​up!" Lu Zhengqian has been making a lot of moves lately, and there's no informant around him. He Zhong is getting anxious. "Big Brother's health is almost fully recovered, so why isn't he touching any women?"

He couldn't stand not touching a woman for a day. He Zhong pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Here's what we'll do: have Lin Shuang take a series of creative photos of herself looking pitiful after being raped and rescued. See if that can last for a few more months."

Yu Dayong asked, puzzled, "Why is it this kind of picture?"

He Zhongxiao said, "Back then, when my sister-in-law was being bullied, my brother saved her. From then on, the two fell in love at first sight."

The scene was reenacted, and he couldn't believe Fu Yuanshan wouldn't be tempted. But he also had to make preparations for the next step.

Considering how Lin Shuang had wronged Fu Cheng, and how Fu Cheng not only refrained from retaliating but even spoke up for her, He Zhong asked Yu Dayong, "What do you think of Fu Cheng's treatment of Lin Shuang?"

“It is indeed somewhat different.” But Yu Dayong was not sure, worried that it would be a waste of time, so he said, “Young Master Kecheng has always been soft-hearted, especially towards women.”

“No!” He Zhong shook his head. “Didn’t they date before? But Lin Shuang was clearly a virgin before she was with Fu Yuanshan.” Lu Zhengqian was a germaphobe, and he had specifically checked this.

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. However, he didn't want to let go of this clue, so he instructed Yu Dayong: "Check Fu Cheng and Lin Shuang. I always feel that they knew each other before."

Even if Lu Zhengqian doesn't show any improvement in the pawns he's painstakingly cultivated, he'll still squeeze out every last drop of value from them.
