Qiao Hanxue: "..."

No way, you haven't given up yet?

"If Grandpa does it, and you all do it too, won't that be too much and wasteful?" Qiao Hanxue was reminding him, but also hinting at it.

However, the brother and sister have their own rhythm.

“No, An’an and I will continue to play here. We can eat the food we made as a snack after dinner, or we can save it for Mom, Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt!” Lu Siyuan said, his heart full of concern for his whole family.

Qiao Hanxue: "..."

He thanked the brother and sister on their behalf.

"Alright, you guys play then." Qiao Hanxue shook his head helplessly, and could only let his grandsons fool around. Before leaving, he specifically reminded them, "An'an, be careful when you use the knife, and Xiao Yuan, be careful when you start the fire, so you don't get hurt."

"Okay, Grandpa!" the brother and sister said in their childish voices.

The fun kitchen games continue. Besides simple noodles, Lu Siyuan is now preparing to try something more impressive, like stir-frying a dish.

"An'an, what other ingredients are left over there? Shall we take another look?"

"There are plenty!"

The two little heads huddled together, continuing to fiddle with it.

Thousands of miles away, on Su Cheng's side.

After Xu Ziqi delivered the silenced pistol last time, he risked breaking into Xu Mao's office at night, but found nothing. However, he did verify that the silenced pistol was indeed silenced and silently eliminated one of Xu Mao's trusted men.

Xu Mao was extremely paranoid, and after this incident, he thoroughly investigated everyone around him.

Fortunately, Su Cheng was not a suspect; to be precise, no one was found to be a suspect, which made Xu Mao even more cautious.

When they met again later, Su Cheng reported this matter to Xu Ziqi.

"It's all my fault. I didn't get anything useful, and instead, I made him even more suspicious. Now it's even more difficult to sneak into his office." Su Cheng was very regretful, feeling that his actions were too impulsive and that he hadn't made a thorough plan beforehand.

"Don't blame yourself. As long as you haven't been exposed, just keep going undercover," Xu Ziqi encouraged.

They've weathered the storm for the past two years, so why rush things?

"By the way, I think there's a good opportunity recently that might allow us to get some information on Xu Mao's crimes, but we need the cooperation of the Yu Kingdom," Su Cheng said.

After more than two years, to be honest, Su Cheng himself was getting a little impatient.

This task is difficult, but Su Cheng is not only Su Cheng, he is also Lu Zhengjun. To keep wearing Su Cheng's skin is also a kind of torture for him.

"How do we cooperate?" Xu Ziqi asked.

He understood that since Su Cheng had brought it up in front of him, it meant that Su Cheng needed help, and that there were indeed people from the Jade Kingdom who helped him.

“The Jade Kingdom has always been involved in the human trafficking business. I’ve only been in contact with the part of sending people, but I’ve figured out how the whole criminal operation works and who the key figures are,” Su Cheng said, tossing a leather-bound notebook to Xu Ziqi. “I’ve written down all the details. You should keep a close eye on the people on the list.”

"To deal with Xu Mao, I think we should start with the ledgers. The God of Wealth's identity is too mysterious, I can't find out. So let's change our approach and ask the God of Wealth to show himself."

As Xu Ziqi listened, he observed Su Cheng's demeanor and concluded that Su Cheng likely already had a complete plan, and all they needed to do was cooperate.

"The details are all in the notebook. This time, a lot of people are involved, and a lot of resources are needed, but as long as we can find the God of Wealth and get Xu Mao's account book, the mission will be complete."

"I need to go back and report to my superiors," Xu Ziqi said.

Every time they met, if there was anything to discuss, Su Cheng and Xu Ziqi would usually discuss and decide on it themselves, but this time it was of extraordinary significance.

Judging from Su Cheng's description, this is very likely the final battle. That means that if it fails, the price will be Su Cheng's "exposure" or even his sacrifice.

This task was set out to be carried out gradually from the beginning, but now we are about to take a crucial step, and the decision definitely needs to be made by the leadership.

"I'll wait for your reply." After saying that, Su Cheng got up, stood by the bed for a while, and then disappeared into the night.

Xu Ziqi, carrying the leather-bound notebook, also left quietly.

As soon as Su Cheng returned to his place, Haozi, who was playing cards, asked, "Brother Cheng, where did you go?"

"What, checking up on me?" Su Cheng said in a slightly joking tone.

Zheng Chong touched the cards, but out of the corner of his eye, he was sizing up Su Cheng.

The two generals, Zheng Chong and Haozi, who were assigned by Xu Mao to Su Cheng's side, had a very clear division of labor: Zheng Chong was responsible for using his brain, while Haozi was responsible for using his fists.

Therefore, Su Cheng's attitude towards the two people was subtly different.

"Brother Cheng, what are you saying?" Haozi didn't seem to care and continued to focus on the cards in his hand.

He had lost to Zheng Chong several times in a row, and was even starting to suspect that the guy was cheating.

Ever since he beat up Hu Laosan last time, Haozi has been completely convinced of Su Cheng's skill – he has never beaten anyone so well before, and he is utterly impressed by Su Cheng's methods.

In comparison, Zheng Chong is more like Xu Mao's man, sharing the same extreme paranoia.

After the "theft" from Xu Mao's office, Zheng Chong kept a close eye on Su Cheng, conducting various tests and investigations, but found nothing suspicious about him, which led him to trust him slightly.

"Then why did you ask such a question?" Su Cheng retorted, plopping down next to Haozi and staring at the cards in his hand.

"So, Brother Cheng, where exactly did you go?" Zheng Chong asked again, but he hid the probing in his tone well, as if he were joking, "Without you, I can only win against Haozi, and the income is too slow."

It seemed like a joke, but it was full of traps.

“If I were here, you probably wouldn’t have made any money.” Su Cheng seemed oblivious to Zheng Chong’s probing, and tapped Haozi’s cards, suggesting, “Play this one.”

"Brother Cheng, are you kidding me? If you play this, he'll win, right?" Haozi was skeptical and unwilling to listen to Su Cheng's suggestion. He even retorted to Zheng Chong, "You've only won a few rounds, and you're already this arrogant?"

“Send it,” Su Cheng said, without even glancing at Zheng Chong. “I guarantee I’ll beat him.”

Zheng Chong thought the topic had gone off on a tangent, but to his surprise, Su Cheng brought it up again and took the initiative to talk to them about it.

"I just went to Fenglan Residence. Someone from Yu Kingdom is coming over, and Brother Mao said we should receive them. I went to make the arrangements," Su Cheng said, and he wasn't lying.

Before meeting Xu Ziqi, he did go to Fenglan Residence to make relevant arrangements.

For each meeting, Su Cheng had to find a reasonable way to cover up his whereabouts; otherwise, he would rather not meet at all.

Furthermore, the incident involving Hu Laosan made Su Cheng realize that someone in the organization must have infiltrated Fenglanju. After all, he had sent back a lot of information through his undercover diary, and the organization could do a lot of things.
