"Three, two, one!"
"Happy New Year!"
...
Fireworks went off.
The night sky was as bright as day.
Lu Yanhe held Chen Siqi in his arms as they stood in the courtyard, watching the fireworks bloom all around them, enjoying this moment of tenderness.
"I love you."
"I love you."
The two kissed.
When their younger cousin Jiang Huadong saw this, he let out a strange cry of "Ouch!" and was immediately given a sharp rap on the head by his mother.
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi turned around and laughed.
It's a new year again.
The two of them held hands and walked around in the yard.
"Let's find some time to hold the wedding," Lu Yanhe said with a smile.
"Sure," Chen Siqi nodded. "Is your schedule available this year?"
“OK,” Lu Yanhe said.
"Okay, I'll take care of the wedding arrangements. I want it to be exactly how I want it to be. You don't mind, do you?"
"You can make it however you want."
"You can wear a wedding dress and I can wear a suit?" Chen Siqi raised an eyebrow.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Chen Siqi: "Don't be nervous, hahaha."
Lu Yanhe: "I suddenly feel that it's not a good idea to leave everything to you. You'll definitely mess with me."
"It's too late. You already promised me that I would take care of the wedding and you would just attend." Chen Siqi smiled sweetly, took two steps forward, and looked back at him. "No going back on your word."
Lu Yanhe smiled helplessly.
"Ouch!" Jiang Huadong cried out again.
My aunt yelled, "What are you yelling about again?! Don't force me to do this on a holiday, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi exchanged a smile.
Jiang Huadong said, "No, Mom, no, sister, brother-in-law, Chen Pinhe posted on Weibo!"
The smiles on Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi's faces froze instantly.
Jiang Huadong said, "Chen Pinhe has announced his divorce!"
Amidst the sound of fireworks exploding, something else was detonated.
-
Early in the morning on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
The airport was unusually quiet.
Chen Pinhe emerged fully armed, escorted by bodyguards.
No one knows his itinerary.
However, shortly after his car started moving, another car followed.
...
"Sister Ziyan, I followed him. You guessed right, he really did come back."
“Although we can’t find any information about his flight—he must have chartered a plane to come back, and all information about it has been blocked—we can still track the movements of his security team,” Chen Ziyan said. “During the Chinese New Year, any sudden activity would naturally mean they need to pick someone up.”
"What should I do next? Just keep watching?"
“Keep an eye on him. He's been abroad, yet he announced the divorce ahead of time, so the formalities definitely haven't been completed yet. If they were to be completed, Zhang Yuezhen would definitely have to come back,” Chen Ziyan said. “He Yuan should be with Zhang Yuezhen. As soon as we spot He Yuan, we’ll take immediate action.”
"good."
...
The news of Chen Pinhe's divorce sparked a heated discussion that overshadowed the discussion about the Spring Festival Gala.
Just when everyone was asking him why he was suppressing Lu Yanhe and whether he had secretly pushed Lu Yanhe into the river to drown him, he suddenly created another big news story.
It's truly unbelievable.
However, no matter how lively the internet is, and no matter how much conspiracy theories have portrayed him as a vicious person, in reality, so far it's all just gossip for casual conversation.
-
“Miss, we should get going,” He Yuan said.
Zhang Yuezhen nodded with a gloomy expression.
For the past two months, Chen Pinhe has been staying here, discussing divorce with her.
After everything was settled, Chen Pinhe left without staying a day longer.
This made Zhang Yue very angry.
But there was nothing she could do.
Even though she and Chen Pinhe had fallen apart, they still had a child.
Chen Pinhe is right.
"We must prepare for the worst. Whether I am ruined or you are exposed, we must sever ties as soon as possible and not be associated with each other anymore. This is the best thing for us and for Yinglu."
Zhang Yuezhen felt a chill run down her spine whenever she thought of the expression on Chen Pinhe's face when he said those words to her.
A once intimate lover who slept in the same bed can one day become so indifferent.
Zhang Yue clenched her fists.
"Has everything been taken care of in the US?" Zhang Yuezhen asked.
He Yuan nodded: "Miss, don't worry. Once the matter is exposed, all the clues they find will point to Chen Pinhe."
A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Yuezhen's eyes.
"Okay." She picked up her bag. "Let's go back to China."
He Yuan nodded.
"Don't worry, after Chen Pinhe is dealt with, I will rescue Hezhou from Lu Yanhe's clutches." Zhang Yuezhen suddenly remembered something and said to He Yuan, "He wants to use Hezhou to threaten you. As long as you don't show up, he can't do anything. Wait here for my news."
He Yuan nodded again.
"Okay, miss, I'm counting on you."
He took Zhang Yuezhen to the airport.
He looked at Zhang Yuezhen, his gaze gradually turning cold.
After Zhang Yuezhen passed through security, He Yuan dialed a number.
"She has already gone through security and entered the country. She will arrive in China around 10 p.m.
"I will do what you ask me to do. How about Hezhou?"
"Okay, I'll come back as soon as I've settled things here. Please arrange a car to pick me up then."
"Don't worry, once Chen Pinhe's situation is resolved, I will rescue Hezhou from Lu Yanhe's clutches."
Zhang Yuezhen's words still ring in my ears.
That's how she lied to him.
He Yuan turned around with a sinister look in his eyes and walked out of the airport.
Once in the car, He Yuan took a deep breath.
He dialed another number.
"Old Marshal, it's me."
"How are those two doing?"
“Okay, wait for my notification. You can leave immediately. Don’t worry about them,” He Yuan said. “Do nothing. Just let them stay in that basement. I have other plans.”
"Okay, see you later."
-
domestic.
Before the Spring Festival was even over, Lu Yanhe had to set off for Xituer.
He promised Situ that he would attend the opening ceremony.
Although the movie "The Original Father" was scheduled to be shown in the second week.
“I won’t be going with you this time, Xituer,” Chen Ziyan told him. “Chen Pinhe and Zhang Yuezhen are back, and I estimate they’ll be going through the formalities soon. But He Yuan didn’t come back with Zhang Yuezhen, so I have to keep an eye on things.”
Lu Yanhe nodded.
"Bring back a second Best Actor award from the Westminster!" Chen Ziyan smiled and patted Lu Yanhe's face encouragingly.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
He gave Chen Ziyan a tight hug.
"Thank you, Sister Ziyan."
Chen Ziyan patted his back.
"Okay, let go now, you're squeezing me."
Lu Yanhe, feeling both amused and exasperated, released Chen Ziyan.
"Have fun in Situ," Chen Ziyan said. "Although I know there have been a lot of annoying things going on lately that have put you in a bad mood, don't forget that the present moment is the most important thing, and you yourself are the most important thing."
"Okay." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Lu Yanhe flew to Xituer.
Chen Ziyan took a deep breath.
Chen Ziyan did not tell Lu Yanhe about the latest situation.
Because even she herself couldn't quite see the situation clearly.
In the United States, all the guards watching over He Chunlai and Feng Xiu suddenly withdrew yesterday.
A storm is brewing.
However, as of now, we can't see anything.
What exactly are Chen Pinhe and Zhang Yuezhen planning to do?
After they returned to China, they both stayed in their own house and didn't go out at all.
The formalities were not completed.
What exactly is going on?
Just as I was thinking this, my phone rang.
"Sister Ziyan, Chen Pinhe has gone out."
Finally, something's happening!
-
At the juncture of winter and spring, the wind carries the chill of winter and the dampness of spring, a cold that seeps into the very bones.
The rain started pouring down, adding fuel to the fire.
Chen Ziyan followed Chen Pinhe's car to the airport parking lot and waited silently.
Chen Pinhe's car had actually come to the airport.
Chen Ziyan initially thought he was going to run away.
But that wasn't the case either.
After waiting for about an hour, suddenly, a figure appeared and came to Chen Pinhe's car.
Chen Ziyan recognized her at a glance.
It was He Yuan!
She looked surprised.
He Yuan got into Chen Pinhe's car.
-
“These are all things that Zhang Yuezhen made me do in the past.”
He Yuan handed a leather bag to Chen Pinhe.
Chen Pinhe took it, opened it, and took out a stack of materials, including photos, documents, and two USB drives.
Chen Pinhe asked, "What are these?"
He Yuan: "I suggest you go back and see for yourself."
Chen Pinhe frowned.
He Yuan: "Where is Hezhou?"
“Once Zhang Yuezhen goes inside, Hezhou will return to your side safely.”
He Yuan: "Do you think Zhang Yue will really let me off the hook if you force me to give you these things? I did all these things for her."
Chen Pinhe: "I am guaranteeing the safety of Hezhou, not you."
“If I hand these things over to you, something could happen to me at any time,” He Yuan said. “Without me, it’s useless for you to just have this leather bag. I only have one request: I want to see He Zhou, and then you have to help me send him abroad. I’ve already made arrangements overseas, so you don’t need to worry about the rest. If you do that, I’ll help you get Zhang Yuezhen in jail, and everything will be pinned on her. You’ll just be an unsuspecting father.”
Chen Pinhe took a deep breath.
"good."
-
The rain was too heavy.
Chen Ziyan didn't follow very closely.
She was also afraid that if she followed too closely, she would expose her whereabouts.
She herself is not a professional.
Chen Ziyan had no idea what He Yuan and Chen Pinhe had said.
But she knew very well that it was absolutely crucial.
But following another car is too difficult.
Especially in this kind of weather.
She was genuinely worried that being discovered would alert the enemy.
Chen Ziyan sat in the car, waiting for news to come back from various channels.
Forty minutes later, the message came back that He Yuan had gone to Chen Pinhe's house.
Twenty minutes later, the person keeping watch on Chen Pinhe's house said that another car had entered Chen Pinhe's house, and He Zhou was in the car.
A photo of Tsuru was also taken.
Through the car window, I could definitely see it was him.
Chen Ziyan immediately realized what was happening.
Chen Pinhe did what she wanted to do.
The person who took Hezhou away overnight was actually Chen Pinhe!
Even someone as knowledgeable as Chen Ziyan couldn't help but gape in astonishment and shock at this moment.
On the very night of the incident, they managed to take Hezhou away overnight—
Chen Pinhe was definitely not unaware of the things Zhang Yuezhen had done in the past.
He was able to strike the vital point with one blow; he must have known about He Yuan all along.
Chen Ziyan shook her head.
She couldn't help but sneer.
That's terrifying.
Zhang Yue is terrifying, and Chen Pinhe is just as terrifying.
These two are truly from the same bed.
-
Chen Pinhe stared at the things in front of him with a livid face.
Over the years, Zhang Yuezhen has done so many unbelievable things behind his back.
Including the movie "Doomsday," Zhang Yuezhen even arranged for a prostitute to work for the executives of Parameters and secretly filmed them in the house to use as a blackmail tool to achieve her own goals.
No wonder Zhang Yuezhen was so confident back then that this role was definitely his.
Zhang Yuezhen seemed to have no idea what the law was; she used threats, intimidation, and bribery without any restraint.
Chen Pinhe could imagine the devastating backlash that would follow once these things were exposed.
He could say he was unaware of it.
However, even though he was kept in the dark, after so many years of marriage, in the eyes of others, they were an inseparable couple.
Adding to Lu Yanhe's matter—
Chen Pinhe could almost foresee the storm that was about to hit him.
However, the more this is the case, the more necessary it is to act decisively and swiftly.
Chen Pinhe hardened his heart and put the things away.
He went outside.
“Dad—” he heard Hezhou call out.
He Yuan patted his shoulder: "Alright, I've arranged everything for you over there. Once you're there, don't come back. Remember, absolutely do not come back unless I contact you. Otherwise, just do as I've arranged."
Chen Pinhe walked over.
He Yuan looked up, saw him, and took a deep breath.
"Hezhou's visa has expired. You should have a way to expedite its processing, right?"
Chen Pinhe said, "Everything is arranged. The flight is at 3 PM tomorrow."
"Okay." He Yuan nodded.
-
"Sister Ziyan, two police officers just arrived and found Feng Xiu and He Chunlai, who were being held captive in the basement. They've been rescued." The person on the American side reported the situation to Chen Ziyan over the phone. "Should we continue investigating?"
"The police have taken over, stop following them." The moment Hezhou appeared, Chen Ziyan had basically figured out all of Chen Pinhe's plans.
She also realized why the guards watching over He Chunlai and Feng Xiu had all left.
It was so that the police would find them.
So, what's the next step?
Chen Ziyan asked, "Have you compiled all the evidence regarding He Yuan's past relationship with Zhang Yuezhen, as well as the evidence of He Yuan's kidnapping of He Chunlai and Feng Xiu?"
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away."
"Okay," Chen Ziyan said. "You've worked hard, you should rest."
"good."
Soon after, I received an email in my inbox.
She opened it and checked the electronic materials inside, including He Yuan and Zhang Yuezhen's financial transactions over the past ten years, photos of their numerous meetings, and even phone recordings...
Chen Pinhe wanted to use Hezhou to threaten Heyuan into turning against Zhang Yuezhen in order to protect himself.
It's okay, you two can fight like dogs for now.
The remaining dog won't have an easy time either.
Chen Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief.
She dialed Lu Yanhe's number.
"Yan He, when are you going to walk the red carpet?"
"Almost there," Lu Yanhe said. "I'm almost at the cinema, there are so many people."
"Okay, do your best, be awesome!"
Chen Ziyan said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
