“Alright, I believe you, but don’t try to fool me. I’ll keep an eye on you. If you dare to fool me, I might not withdraw this dagger so quickly next time. Don’t try to run away, unless you don’t want to live. Stay home, and I’ll come to see you again.” Zhan Zhiyin threatened him. She wouldn’t watch him in person, but Leng Shaoming’s people would. No matter what Chen Yunheng did, they would know.

“No, I won’t go anywhere,” said Chen Yunheng at once. He had his own idea. Actually, he had planned to run away right after Zhan Zhiyin left. He would go abroad and would never come back again.

However, being threatened by Zhan Zhiyin, he gave in. He knew there would be a worse result if he was caught after running away.

Therefore, Chen Yunheng didn’t dare to play any tricks.

“But I need to work!” said Chen Yunheng.

“Do you want to work? Don’t you know the situation you’re in right now? The police will come and arrest you tomorrow. If you don’t want to suffer, stay at home. Otherwise I’ll break your legs, so that you literally can’t go anywhere.” Zhan Zhiyin threatened him once more.

“Fine, I won’t go out.” Chen Yunheng was too scared to argue with Zhan Zhiyin now.

“Listen, I’ve arranged for someone to watch you. As long as you walk out of this door, your life will be in danger!” Zhan Zhiyin warned him for the last time.

This time, Chen Yunheng was in utter despair and didn’t dare to fight back.

After that, Zhan Zhiyin left.

Although Zhan Zhiyin was gone, Chen Yunheng didn’t get better. He was fine now, but he would be in serious trouble tomorrow.

However, he couldn’t do anything about it. After his father was arrested, his family lost their influence so he honestly had no idea who would help him.

In fact, no one could help him. After all, he annoyed the Leng family.

And he couldn’t contact the man who claimed to be a member of the Yuan family.

He realized the man obviously had no intention of letting him find him. Even if anything went wrong, he had to carry the blame on his own.

At this moment, Chen Yunheng hoped that Leng Shaoming could find the mastermind as soon as possible. In that case, he could receive a lighter punishment.

…

After Zhan Zhiyin left, she walked around to find a place where no one would notice her. She changed her appearance back to normal before going home.

She wouldn’t take the same way home, otherwise she would easily become a suspect.

By the time Zhan Zhiyin got back to Leng Shaoming’s residence, it was already 1 am.

Leng Shaoming didn’t go to pick Zhan Zhiyin up. He cared about her safety, but she told him to stay at home and to not go anywhere because he was in more danger than she was.

Zhan Zhiyin didn’t tell him that she was coming back and didn’t call him to open the door until she reached the gate.

The moment Leng Shaoming received her call, he was excited. Without delay, he ran to open the door.

Zhan Zhiyin called him before knocking at the door in order to not scare him.

After Leng Shaoming opened the door, Zhan Zhiyin walked in.

Leng Shaoming closed it behind them, then asked Zhan Zhiyin at once, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Zhan Zhiyin smiled.

“Really?” Leng Shaoming asked worriedly. Because they just got together, he couldn’t check her body to make sure she was fine.

“I’m really fine. I’m just a little thirsty,” said Zhan Zhiyin.

“Oh, let me pour you a glass of water,” said Leng Shaoming. Then he went to pour water for Zhan Zhiyin. He also picked some fruits for her.

“How is it?” Leng Shaoming asked after seeing that Zhan Zhiyin was indeed fine.

“Chen Yunheng confessed, but he told me he isn’t the mastermind,” said Zhan Zhiyin.

“What? Chen Yunheng isn’t the mastermind? Then who is it?” asked Leng Shaoming with a frown.

“Chen Yunheng said it was a member of the Yuan family,” said Zhan Zhiyin.

Hearing that, Leng Shaoming’s frown deepened. Zhan Zhiyin continued. “He said a man stopped him in the parking lot of his house the other day. The man got in his car and wanted him to pay you back with coercion and bribery. Chen Yunheng said he was unwilling to do that, because he didn’t want to get in trouble, but the man said that he’s a member of the Yuan family. Chen Yunheng yielded in the end. I think it’s possible that the mastermind is someone else, but I’m not sure whether it’s the Yuan family. After all, they might have been framed. Anyway, we need to investigate further to find out who the real mastermind is.”

“You’re right. I also think Chen Yunheng carried out someone else’s order, but I can’t be sure whether it’s the Yuan family. Normally, if it’s the Yuan family, they wouldn’t tell Chen Yunheng who they are, but maybe they are too confident and believe that Chen Yunheng will keep it a secret,” said Leng Shaoming.

“What should we do next? Chen Yunheng can’t contact the man right now. We have no leads,” said Zhan Zhiyin.

“Since we know where they met, we can check the surveillance cameras. Shaoting can help us with that. He’s good at hacking. He can hack into the surveillance cameras with his own computer,” said Leng Shaoming. However, it was too late now, so Leng Shaoming didn’t bother Leng Shaoting.

“Oh, how’s Chen Yunheng now?” asked Leng Shaoming.

“I threatened him and told him that I arranged for someone to watch him. As long as he steps out of his home, he’ll be killed. I bet he won’t dare to leave.” Zhan Zhiyin said, “I think your people can keep us updated on his information if he really leaves his home. If no accidents happen, tomorrow we can call the police. I have a recording of his confession with a wireless pinhole camera. That can be our evidence.”

“Thank you so much for your effort.” Leng Shaoming thanked Zhan Zhiyin sincerely.

“Don’t say that. We’re so close!” Zhan Zhiyin was more than happy to help Leng Shaoming.

Leng Shaoming said nothing further because they were indeed very close now. He didn’t want to upset Zhan Zhiyin.

“Alright, get some sleep now. I need to deal with his video,” said Leng Shaoming. He didn’t want her to be too tired.
