Upon hearing the word "basement," Chen Jiahua nodded.

He walked to a wall that blended seamlessly with the surrounding decorations, making it impossible to tell that a hidden passage was inside.

Chen Jiahua reached into the vase beside him and felt around. When he pressed on something foreign, he decisively pressed his hand down.

The wall remained motionless. Chen Jiahua slowly pushed the wall open and walked in.

After getting out of the man's sight, Chen Jiahua leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, his mind filled with Chen Jiayi's face.

Chen Jiahua remained silent in the passage for a long time until he composed himself before slowly walking out of the passage.

As soon as Chen Jiahua came out of the passage, he saw Lin Yuyao holding a young boy.

When Lin Yuyao saw Chen Jiahua enter, her smile faded slightly, and she pushed the boy beside her aside.

"You're back. How was it? Is that bitch dead?"

Seeing Chen Jiahua remain silent, Lin Yuyao's smile vanished.

She picked up the wine glass beside her and smashed it directly at Chen Jiahua, staring at him expressionlessly.

Are you a piece of trash?

Chen Jiahua spoke softly, "I'm sorry."

The person next to Lin Yuyao immediately revealed a mocking smile.

"Xiao Yao, I told you Chen Jiahua wasn't good enough, right? Maybe he's just feeling sorry for her. I heard Chen Jiayi is quite the beauty."

After listening to Dao Ge's words, Lin Yuyao's gaze towards Chen Jiahua grew even colder.

She chuckled softly, "Come here."

Chen Jiahua walked up to Lin Yuyao. Lin Yuyao reached out and touched Chen Jiahua's handsome face, then without hesitation, she reached out and slapped him hard across the face.

"Chen Jiahua, I told you to kill her, but you didn't and let her go. Is that what you mean?"

Lin Yuyao initially got together with Chen Jiahua because she was attracted to his looks, but later discovered that Chen Jiahua was actually quite intelligent.

It was precisely because of his intelligence that she stayed with Chen Jiahua.

Chen Jiahua lowered his head, feeling inferior because of the mocking looks from others.

"yes."

Upon hearing Chen Jiahua's answer, Lin Yuyao burst out laughing.

"Okay, very good."

She got even angrier and reached out to slap Chen Jiahua across the other side of his face.

Chen Jiahua remained silent, but a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Dao Ge and Lin Yuyao both saw it, and Lin Yuyao was quite satisfied.

If Chen Jiahua doesn't express any of his emotions, Lin Yuyao will be afraid to continue dating him.

She patted Chen Jiahua's face reassuringly.

Chen Jiahua felt the pain, but he didn't utter a sound, simply letting Lin Yuyao humiliate him.

Lin Yuyao nodded in satisfaction. "Go ahead, go to my room and wait for me."

Chen Jiahua hummed in agreement and turned to walk towards Lin Yuyao's room.

"Wait a minute."

Dao Ge's lazy voice called out to Chen Jiahua. He casually got up and walked up to Chen Jiahua.

"You're not convinced?"

Chen Jiahua pursed his lips and remained silent.

Brother Dao chuckled, "Why don't you quit following Yu Yao and join me instead?"

Chen Jiahua knew in his heart that the other party was testing him. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he still firmly refused.

If he decides to follow Brother Dao now, it would be a betrayal of his promise. Regardless of whether Lin Yuyao agrees or not, even if Brother Dao wanted him, he would not give him an important position.

Having thought this through, Chen Jiahua refused.

Dao Ge gave a regretful smile, while Lin Yuyao's smile softened.

Chen Jiahua knew he had guessed correctly.

Lin Yuyao knew that Chen Jiahua was not involved with drugs and was only responsible for delivering goods.

She was smoking the latest model cigarette and said impatiently to Chen Jiahua.

"Get out of here, I don't want to see you."

Chen Jiahua hummed in agreement and turned to leave.

After leaving the room, Chen Jiahua leaned against the corridor wall and took a deep breath.

Just bear with it a little longer...

Thinking of his family whom he hadn't seen for many years, and also of his mission, Chen Jiahua gritted his teeth and went into Lin Yuyao's room.

He has endured it all these years.

Just bear with it a little longer. What can't a man endure?

Before long, Lin Yuyao walked back to her room in a daze.

She reached out and touched the slap mark on Chen Jiahua's face, pouting her lips with great heartache.

"Brother Jia Hua, are you angry?"

Chen Jiahua didn't speak, but simply turned his head away.

Lin Yuyao smiled and kissed Chen Jiahua on the cheek, then hugged him tightly with both hands.

"Brother Jia Hua, don't be angry anymore. You know me, I was just putting on an act for them. Otherwise, if I spoil you like this every time, my subordinates will get jealous~"

Chen Jiahua snorted coldly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Yuyao laughed even more happily.

She was high on drugs and sat on Chen Jiahua's lap, unable to help but laugh.

Chen Jiahua nudged Lin Yuyao, his voice lowering slightly.

"I'm not feeling well today..."

Lin Yuyao's smile faded slightly, and she kicked Chen Jiahua away.

"Get out of here and wake Adu up."

Chen Jiahua remained silent with a sullen face, while Lin Yuyao gave a cold laugh.

"Chen Jiahua, you're not in good shape, but I'm not in good shape either."

"I'm giving you one more chance. Kill Chen Jiayi! She dared to send me to a women's prison, so she'll have to face the consequences!"

After Lin Yuyao finished speaking, a cold expression appeared on her face.

Chen Jiahua remained silent, simply watching Lin Yuyao quietly.

Lin Yuyao suddenly burst out laughing, "Why are you still hating me for ruining your little girlfriend?"

She casually tossed her hair, enjoying watching Chen Jiahua's expression of unrequited love.
