When Lan Zhiping was mentioned, both father and son looked at Hei Ruyue.

Being looked at by his father and brother, Hei Ruyue hurriedly said, "I haven't seen him since he came that day. He hasn't called me or sent me a message since then. I really don't know how he's doing."

She didn't love Lan Zhiping, she just wanted to use Lan Zhiping to stimulate Lan Rui. Unfortunately, it was useless and she even hurt herself.

Thinking back to the crazy time she had with Lan Zhiping in the past, Hei Ruoyue regretted it.

But she also resented Lan Rui even more and wanted to take revenge on him. She would use Chen Yimo as a scapegoat and destroy him. Even if she still couldn't get Lan Rui, she would feel better.

"Is he very busy, so he hasn't been here for a few days?"

The head of the Hei family said.

"Dad, I'll have someone check it out tomorrow."

Hei Mingyu just felt that this was abnormal. Lan Zhiping always pestered his sister and came several times a day, but he had not shown up once in the past three days. This was abnormal.

The head of the Hei family nodded.

"We can't keep that woman surnamed Zhuang alive. We need to find a way to kill her in the hands of the police."

The head of the Hei family ordered his son to handle this matter well, otherwise if the police found out something, it would be very disadvantageous to them.

"Dad, leave this to me."

The head of the Hei family nodded. He still believed in his son's ability. This child liked to do shady things since he was young.

He inherited the ruthlessness of his ancestors and is even more cruel than them.

The Hei family thought it was abnormal that Lan Zhiping had not shown up for three days, but the Lan family did not think much about it. After all, Lan Zhiping rarely went home after he and Hei Ruyue got together.

The old man was angry, thinking that it was his daughter-in-law who made their son not come home. In addition, Ren Shuning was cruel and helped him to have a vasectomy without Lan Zhiping's consent. As a result, the two old people treated her less well than before.

…

Fengchen Hotel.

Xu Susu, wearing her silver mask and a black nightgown, stood at the door of the presidential suite and raised her hand to knock.

Lan Zheng's personal bodyguards pretended not to know when they saw her. They dodged and hid, allowing her to easily come to the door and knock.

Xu Susu also knew that Lan Zheng's bodyguards were deliberately letting him win.

Lan Zheng hadn't gone to bed yet. When he heard the knock on the door, he walked over and opened it. Seeing that it was Xu Susu, his eyes lit up and his cold expression softened a bit. He moved aside and said, "You're here."

Xu Susu entered the room.

"Knowing you've come to City A, I had to come and see you."

Lan Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard her words, "I'm very happy that you can come to see me."

Xu Susu walked to the sofa and sat down. "I'm from City A. Now that you're here, I have to be the host. Do you want a midnight snack? I'll treat you."

"I don't want to eat. If you really want to, please treat me to a meal tomorrow."

Xu Susu felt that it was not good to appear in the daytime with a mask on, and it would be easier to reveal her flaws. She smiled apologetically and said, "It's not convenient for me during the day. Don't eat tomorrow night. Wait for me to come over. I will treat you to dinner here."

Lan Zheng still sat down opposite her, which made it easier for him to watch her.

Even though he couldn't see her true face yet, he liked looking at her from across from her.

"We are already so familiar with each other. Can you take off your mask and let me see what you look like? Can you tell me your last name?"

Xu Susu smiled, "Isn't it good for us now?"

"Or are you worried that someone will pretend to be me to approach you?"

"No, I'm familiar with your voice."

Xu Susu smiled secretly in her heart. When she met him during the day, he couldn't recognize her by her voice.

If it were that easy for him to prove it, she would not be Xu Susu anymore.

"Master Lan, why did you suddenly come to City A?"

Xu Susu asked curiously, "If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. You know I'm a detective, and I know a lot of people from all walks of life, so I'm pretty good at gathering information. Of course, the task you asked me to do is a bit more difficult."

As she spoke, Xu Susu pulled out a folded piece of paper from her trouser pocket, handed it to Lan Zheng, and said, "I've always kept Young Master Lan's affairs in mind and tried very hard to help you investigate. Fortunately, I finally have some clues."

Lan Zheng opened the paper and found that she had found the same clue as Miss Zhuang. She couldn't help but think to herself that it was no wonder that her detective agency was quite famous in the industry. She was really good at her job.

She also listed the names of all the people who had contact with Miss Zhuang and marked their identities, so that he could investigate from the side and find out the person who really framed Miss Zhuang. Then he could follow the clues and find out the person who masterminded the case.

"Very good, very good, thank you!"

Lan Zheng was sincerely grateful and admired Xu Susu even more.

"Young Master Lan, you came here this time..."

Lan Zheng put the paper away and said helplessly, "I'm here to chase my wife."

Xu Susu: “…”

Are you serious?

"My grandmother really likes the second daughter of the Xu family and is forcing me to marry her. My sister is good friends with the second daughter of the Xu family and is in favor of her. She even suggested to my father that he arrange for me to come here to investigate the market. In fact, it was to cultivate a relationship with the second daughter of the Xu family."

After a moment of silence, Xu Susu asked him, "I know Second Miss Xu. She's gentle, kind, and stunningly beautiful. All men love beautiful women, so why don't you like Second Miss Xu? If I were a man, I'd want to marry Second Miss Xu and keep her home, treating her like a treasure."

"Do you think my situation and my identity are suitable for Miss Xu Er? Is Miss Xu Er suitable for me?"

Xu Susu suddenly fell silent.

"You've already seen the situation of my Lan family, and you know that Second Miss Xu isn't right for me, right? Even if I can protect my own woman, why would I choose a weak and useless woman as my wife when I have better options? And then spend even more time and effort protecting her. Wouldn't that be exhausting?"

Xu Susu remained silent.

Lan Zheng continued, "I want to find a woman with abilities comparable to mine to be my wife. I don't care about her family background or her beauty. I only value her character and abilities. Only a woman like that can be a good wife for me."

"Then do you still want to pursue Miss Xu?"

Lan Zheng was silent for a moment, then said, "You have to pretend. By the way, do you know what girls like most? To be more precise, what does Miss Xu like?"

Xu Susu was conflicted. Should she tell it?

He must have pursued her according to what she said.

Soon, Xu Susu thought it through. She smiled and said, "Everyone has different preferences. Not all girls like the same things. I don't know what Miss Xu likes. If there is a common point, I think it should be money. No one doesn't like money."
