"I didn't expect Captain Long to be so keen on gossip," Chu Yang said with a smile, without going into details.

"...Uh, just asking." Captain Long looked a little embarrassed, picked up his glass, took a sip, stroked his beard, and asked again, "So, what are you planning to do this time?"

"Come with me to the Wanli Manor to investigate and collect evidence. I believe you will gain many unexpected insights," Chu Yang said with a smile.

"You can pretend to be my bodyguard then. Anyway, I have a bodyguard who has a big beard like you and the same style, so no one will suspect anything," he added.

Captain Long thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, it's settled then."

"Let's keep eating. We've ordered so much, let's not waste it," Chu Yang suggested.

So the two continued eating, during which Chu Yang told them some more details, which made Captain Long believe them even more.

Before parting, Chu Yang said, "Oh, by the way, tomorrow you need to wear a black suit, white shirt, and tie, a slicked-back hairstyle, and sunglasses. You're a bodyguard, so you need to make a good impression and project an imposing presence."

Captain Long's expression was strange, but he still agreed.

His intuition told him that this might be a good opportunity to make a great contribution.

After agreeing on a time and place to meet, he left first.

Chu Yang sat for a while, then packed up a lot of kebabs. After paying the bill, he braved the cold wind and returned to the hotel.

Since we were traveling with Lou Chunyue's father, it wouldn't be appropriate to book just one double room, so we were in separate rooms from Chen Li and Lou Chunyue.

I knocked on Schnor's door and handed him a kebab, two skewers of beer, and a pack of cigarettes.

My older cousin chuckled and said, "Thanks, boss. I was just getting hungry."

Chu Yang said, "Tomorrow's operation is to follow my lead."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash," my older cousin said with a smile.

After he entered the room, Chu Yang knocked on the door of another room.

Lou Chunyue opened the door.

"Is Xiaoli inside?" Chu Yang asked with a smile.

Lou Chunyue smiled charmingly: "Yes, come in quickly."

Just as they were about to pull him inside, another door opened, and Lou Zaiqiang came out, startled by what he saw.

Lou Chunyue panicked slightly: "Dad, it's not what you think..."

Lou Zaiqiang beamed and waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. If your second uncle wants to go in, let him go in. Dad agrees to this... cough, um, Dad has no objection."

Previously, Lou Chunyue had been asked to try and win over Chu Yang, but the progress was unexpectedly fast, so there was no reason to object.

He was already thinking to himself that Chu Yang was Shen Nansheng's second brother and Shen Nansheng was his brother-in-law. If Chu Yang married his daughter, wouldn't he be elevated to a higher generation?

That's a good thing, hehe.

Then it suddenly occurred to me, with such a wealthy husband, why would he bother with a large-scale afforestation project to recruit people?

Isn't this a classic case of picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon?

Even if we hand over 30 million, he'll only get a kickback of a little over a million at most... Maybe we should reconsider?

But since we're already here, and we've already made arrangements with General Manager Chen.

Moreover, if this deal goes through, he'll not only get a kickback, but also status, prestige, and honor. From now on, everyone will have to call him Boss Lou.

Should I become the building manager or the building general manager?

For a moment, Lou Zaiqiang was caught in a dilemma and silently went into his room.

Seeing him return to his room, Chu Yang laughed and said, "Don't just stand there in a daze. Your dad has already agreed to let me in, so why don't you open up?"

Lou Chunyue blushed and lightly spat, "You're so unserious. Come in quickly."

"Where's Xiaoli?" Chu Yang put the packed food on the table, glanced into the room, and then heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.

"I'm taking a shower! Chu Yang, did you bring me anything delicious?" Little Pear's voice came from outside.

"Yes, I brought some kebabs and drinks," Chu Yang said, opening the bathroom door.

Amidst the misty air, Xiaoli's beautiful figure was revealed.

"You rascal, close the door! It's so cold!" Little Pear splashed a string of water over.

"Okay, okay." Chu Yang closed the door.

I sat down on the sofa and opened the takeout barbecue.

"Sister Chunyue, let's eat first."

Xiao Li overheard this in the bathroom and immediately shouted anxiously, "Hey, you guys are eating and you're not waiting for me!"

She was so anxious that she quickly washed up, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and rushed out.

Chu Yang and Lou Chunyue were amused.

"I bought a lot, what's the rush?" Chu Yang said with a smile.

"I'm eager to eat with you all." Xiaoli sat down.

"Silly girl, you haven't dried your hair yet." Lou Chunyue smiled and took a towel to help her dry her hair.

Little Pear, fresh from her bath, truly resembled a pear blossom glistening with dew, her skin as smooth as jade, charming and captivating, her beauty beyond compare.

Chu Yang's gaze fell on her.

Xiao Li blushed under his gaze, nodded, and whispered, "You bad boy, what are you looking at?"

"It's beautiful, of course I want to look at it a few more times," Chu Yang said with a smile.

Xiaoli smiled happily: "Is she really that pretty? I think Chunyue is prettier than me."

"Right, Chunyue-jie?" she asked, turning her head.

Lou Chunyue carefully dried her hair and said gently, "Then let's see what this scoundrel has to say. I don't care."

Chu Yang sighed deeply: "You are all good-looking, and I love looking at you all. If I really had to rank you, I might as well kill me."

These words made them all laugh.

"Alright, let's eat some skewers while they're hot," Chu Yang said with a smile.

As they spoke, one of them handed over a string of them.

"Sister, you can't drink alcohol. Xiaoli, you can have a soft drink," he said.

Little Pear happily ate and drank.

Lou Chunyue took a bite and asked, "Is everything settled?"

Chu Yang nodded: "It's all taken care of. I've made an appointment with the captain of the police station here. Tomorrow, he'll impersonate my bodyguard and come with us to Wanli Manor. Luckily, this guy has the same big beard as my cousin, so he definitely won't arouse suspicion."

"...Won't it be dangerous?" Lou Chunyue's biggest worry was that Chu Yang would get hurt because of this.

Chu Yang could see her worry and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

"And me too." Little Pear raised her fist and snorted, "I'm pretty good at fighting too."

Chu Yang and Lou Chunyue both laughed.

...

The next morning.

Chu Yang woke up, got out of bed, parted the curtains, and glanced out the window.

Little Pear rolled over, still half asleep, and asked, "Chu Yang, is it snowing?"

"Not yet, but it should be soon. It's about time, get up, we have important business to attend to," Chu Yang said.

He took out two sets of clothes and said, "Change into these after you wash up. It's too cold. Remember to wear thermal underwear and thick tights."

After washing up, the three of them changed into brand new clothes.

Chu Yang, dressed in a black suit with a shirt and tie underneath, and gleaming leather shoes, transformed into a handsome and domineering CEO.

Xiaoli and Chunyue were both confused.

"He's so handsome..."
