"Young Master Zhou, the police station is investigating a case and they're looking for Miss Yan."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Sheng looked at Yan Can with a half-smile.

"It's for you."

Yan Can said, "I heard it."

“They reported it to the police, so it seems you misjudged the couple’s ‘reputation’,” Zhou Sheng said.

Yan Can didn't take it seriously. "If someone reports a case, someone has to handle it. This is the proper procedure, reasonable and legal, and it has nothing to do with their reputation."

Even the most heinous criminals still have the opportunity to hire a lawyer to appeal.

"Furthermore, after their home was ransacked by thugs, instead of calling the police to arrest them, they immediately suspected their own daughter. This despicable and inhumane behavior will only make their reputation even worse."

Zhou Sheng: "..."

That makes a lot of sense.

He couldn't refute it.

Yan Can added, "Oh, right, have that lady from earlier come up here."

Zhou Sheng: "Wait."

When the person arrived, Yan Can asked what was going on and learned that the other person had heard the news from a colleague.

That colleague lives in an urban village.

The receptionist said, "She went to the police station to report the case, but everyone thinks she's just making a fuss about it so that everyone will know."

Wang Juan has done this no less than a hundred times.

Their goal is to extort money.

She could extort every penny she could, and little by little, she could eventually accumulate enough capital for her brother Jian to gamble.

So neither the police station nor the neighbors who knew the couple's character believed Wang Juan's words.

After the receptionist left, Yan Can looked at Zhou Sheng.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, teasing him, "Young Master Zhou, am I wrong?"

Zhou Sheng: "..."

I made a stupid mistake again.

Is it too late to dig a hole now?

After a long pause, Zhou Sheng said, "Then what are you going to do? Just stay out there, hiding here and there?"

Yan Can: "I had been hiding all along."

Her face was calm, showing no sign of emotion.

Zhou Sheng suddenly felt unwell.

The child, who has no one to care for him, wears his older sister's hand-me-down clothes.

It started out very large, covering the arms and feet, looking eerily like a clothes hanger that had come to life.

Gradually, his hands and feet were revealed; he was emaciated and covered in wounds.

Little beast.

A jinx.

She was being beaten.

Driven by her survival instinct, she began to hide and go into hiding.

"beep--"

The phone rang, finally breaking the oppressive and dull atmosphere.

Zhou Sheng pressed the answer button.

A naturally cold voice came from inside.

Where?

Zhou Sheng took a few steps to the side. "Hotel? What's wrong, cousin? Did my parents check up on me?"

He paused, then lowered his voice, "You didn't tell me who you were with, did you?"

The other party remained silent.

He seemed speechless.

Zhou Sheng, not understanding his meaning, said again, "I have some things to arrange here, and I'll go back as soon as I'm done. Can you help me fool them for now—"

Before I could finish speaking, the call was cut off.

Zhou Sheng: "..."

That's rude!

My cousin's temper is getting worse and worse.

He put away his phone, turned to Yan Can and said, "You can stay here for now. As part of the reward for returning the jade pendant, all your hotel expenses will be waived from now on."

Yan Can teased, "Then what should I say, thank you, young master?"

Zhou Sheng felt embarrassed instead.

He gave many more instructions in order to earn that title of "Young Master".

"Don't go back to the Yan family yet, and don't act on your own. If anything happens, have the hotel contact me."

...

As soon as Zhou Sheng left, the staff brought lunch to Yan Can.

"I've also gotten a free lunch."

To be fair, Mr. Zhou is a man who values ​​loyalty and chivalry.

377: "The host returned the jade pendant in order to find a long-term meal ticket?"

Yan Can: "Not only that."

Not only is he a long-term meal ticket, but also a long-term bodyguard.

The original owner had long since had enough of living a life of hiding and running.

But she, Yan Can, had never suffered such injustice since she was born.

I won't suffer from it again.

...

After leaving the hotel, Zhou Sheng was about to get his car when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

He strode over and asked in surprise, "Cousin, what are you doing at the hotel? Did my dad send you to arrest me?"

Zong Lian: "..."

He used to doubt that Zhou Shengchang was brainless.

Now, confirmed.

"Cousin, why do you think of me like that?"

Zhou Sheng didn't understand Zong Lian's expression, but inexplicably felt that he was being looked down upon again.

But he didn't care about that. He said to Zong Lian, "Forget about my dad for now. I'm going to the urban village. If you're free, cousin, come with me."

Zong Lian remained silent.

They seemed reluctant.

Zhou Sheng immediately said, "Yan Can did something really gratifying. The Yan family is in trouble. Let's go see what's going on and check out some information while we're at it."

Zong Lian: "Don't take too long."

Zhou Sheng assured him, "I'll be back soon!"

Zong Lian reluctantly agreed.

As luck would have it, the two had just arrived in the urban village when they bumped into a crazy woman who was cursing everywhere.

"Have you seen that little beast of mine?"

"The one that's dark-skinned and skinny!"

"You little bastard, you little beast, come out here!"

Inside the car, Zhou Sheng's face was ashen.

This woman insulted Yan Can like this in front of so many neighbors; I can't imagine how vicious she would be when no one is around.

"I had been hiding all along."

Yan Can's voice and her calm face immediately came to mind.

Seeing Wang Juan walking erratically and cursing toward the owner of the bowl and plate shop on the steps next to them, Zhou Sheng suddenly honked the horn.
