Ling Chen couldn''t find the person, so he had no choice but to ride back to their residence with Ji Beizhao. As for the Rolls-Royce, Ling Chen left it by the roadside.


    It was already midnight by the time they returned home. Nanrong Wanqing was already asleep, with only Nanrong Zhengqing still sitting in the living room, drinking beer and watching the news on TV.


    Upon hearing the door, Nanrong Zhengqing turned his head and looked at the approaching Ling Chen and Ji Beizhao, and said: "Judging by your looks, tonight''s operation must have failed. Tell me, what happened?"


    Ling Chen shrugged and shared the situation regarding that woman. After listening, Nanrong Zhengqing said with some surprise: "Even you couldn''t manage it, it seems that woman really has some skill." After thinking for a moment, Nanrong Zhengqing continued: "How about this, let me ask a few friends to use the assassin''s informationwork to see if they can find the whereabouts of that woman."


    "Alright, that''s a big help!"


    "No need for thanks, we''re family. Okay, it''s gettingte, you all should go rest."


    Ling Chen walked into the bedroom and turned on the light, only to see Nanrong Wanqing lying on the bed in a robe, her eyes closed, breathing evenly, obviously fast asleep.


    Ling Chen was afraid of disturbing her, so he tiptoed to the bedside, took off his clothes, and slipped under the covers.


    As soon as he turned off the light, Ling Chen noticed a change in Nanrong Wanqing''s breathing; it became more rapid from its previous steady rhythm. Feeling the change, Ling Chen couldn''t help but find it amusing.


    That little girl hadn''t fallen asleep after all.


    With a beautiful woman lying next to him, Ling Chen, being a man, didn''t have such good self-control. His mischievous hands unconsciously reached over, gently stroking Nanrong Wanqing''s abdomen. Under his palm''s caress, Nanrong Wanqing''s delicate body couldn''t help but tremble and tense up.


    Had the light not been turned off, Ling Chen would probably have seen her flushed cheeks.


    Sensing the smoothness of Nanrong Wanqing''s skin, Ling Chen felt somewhat unsatisfied, and hisrge hand slowly crawled upwards from her abdomen.


    "Don''t!"


    Ling Chen''s actions instantly woke Nanrong Wanqing, who hurriedly grabbed Ling Chen''s wrist, suppressing her shame and said: "Don''t…this is…my uncle''s house."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen pulled Nanrong Wanqing into his arms, teasingly said: "So, you mean... it''s fine when we''re home?"


    "Bad man!" Nanrong Wanqing blushed deeply, lightly pounding Ling Chen''s chest, her head buried in his embrace, not daring to lift it.


    "Alright, alright, no teasing, get some rest." Ling Chen gently stroked Nanrong Wanqing''s smooth back, saying.


    "Did you find anything tonight?" Nanrong Wanqing asked.


    Ling Chen chuckled wryly and said: "Not really, that woman is very cunning. She realized I was looking for her and ran away." After a pause, Ling Chen continued: "That woman is not simple; I suspect she might be backed by a major force."


    "What should we do then?"


    "No matter what, we have to find her. She directed Qi Houzhao to trouble me, she must be aware of some information about my grandparents."


    "We''ve been here for three days already; it''s best to hurry and not drag it out too long."


    "I know."


    Actually, Ling Chen''s heart was eager to resolve this matter quickly. There were many things waiting for him in East Sea City, and he didn''t want the city to turn into a mess because of him.


    "Uncle has already found ways to locate her whereabouts; if things go smoothly, it shouldn''t take too much longer."


    ...


    The night passed without conversation.


    The next morning, as Ling Chen and Nanrong Wanqing got up, a fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen.


    Seeing Nanrong Zhengqing busy preparing breakfast, Ling Chen greeted him with augh, "If outsiders saw, no one would believe that the dignified Snake King has be a house husband."


    Nanrong Zhengqing smiled slightly: "Actually, we all yearn for an ordinary life. In that aspect, I''m luckier than you—I''m already enjoying it, while you still need to strive. Ling Chen, I understand your situation is quite difficult now, but don''t think I''m not helping you. Honestly, I''m tired of the world of killing and fighting. Now, I''ve finally got this peaceful life; I don''t want to lose it easily. Plus, after living like this for a while, people tend to bezy."


    "There are indeed many troubles now, but I''m still able to manage them."


    "That''s good. You take a seat first, breakfast will be ready soon."<fn8b59> Th?s chapter is updated by find~novel</fn8b59>


    Ling Chen nodded, watching Nanrong Zhengqing busy himself, feeling a little emotional.


    Thinking back, it was because Nanrong Zhengqing secretly plotted to assassinate Nanrong Wanqing that he got the chance to move into Nanrong''s home and be Nanrong Wanqing''s personal security. With this convenience, Ling Chen managed to get close to Nanrong Wanqing, eventually developing the rtionship they have today.


    Had it not been for Nanrong Zhengqing, Ling Chen probably would have already resigned from Hongyu Group, avoiding all these entanglements.


    Now, the very person who wanted to kill Nanrong Wanqing is busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for them—the change is truly remarkable.


    After a sumptuous breakfast, Ling Chen stood on the balcony with a teacup, breathing in the fresh air.


    "Ling Chen."


    At this moment, Ji Beizhao approached, holding a set of documents, handed it to Ling Chen, saying: "These are the reports we received this morning. Last night, we put out the word, and those assassin intermediaries worked overnight, finally finding what we needed."


    Upon hearing this, Ling Chen put down his teacup, flipped open the documents and nced through them.


    Ha!


    "That woman is indeed wealthy."


    "Indeed, I think so too," Ji Beizhao concurred: "We didn''t know before, but now we do—she owns multiple vis and residences within the city, and has purchased a lot of property. I roughly calcted that her assets are at least over a billion."


    "I heard she''s apany''s finance director, typically such a position wouldn''t have such a high ie."


    "I also find it strange. Additionally, the woman has many aliases, and all those properties were purchased under different identities, making it difficult for us to find them previously. However, she probably didn''t expect that today''s facial recognition systems are highly precise. Once her portrait is entered, all the identities she used wille up."


    Looking at the contents of the documents, Ling Chen asked: "Besides these, is there any other useful information?"


    "Huaxia has an old saying, ''a cunning rabbit has three burrows.'' That woman bought so much property just to use as safehouses. Once her identity is exposed, she can instantly relocate elsewhere. I had someone check, among these properties, only one vi had paid for utilities regrly month by month for several years. I''m thinking perhaps that''s where we can find what we''re looking for."


    "Good. There''s no time to lose, let''s head out right away."
