Chapter 41 You live here too?

Captain's Office

Cheng Yuxuan lounged in the chair, appearing relaxed and indifferent.

"Officer, aren't you going to offer me a cup of tea?"

The beautiful female police officer glanced out the window, her tone meaningful as she said, "Cheng Yuxuan, I know you're behind this!"

"Ugh..." Cheng Yuxuan sighed, "Here we go again. I've already said, if you have evidence, you can execute me right now."

"I will find the evidence! I definitely will!" The policewoman said, glancing at him. "I'll investigate every dirty deed done by everyone in the Cheng family, top to bottom, until everything is laid bare!"

"Good, I support you. If you need any help, just let me know, haha..."

The policewoman gave him a stern look, then abruptly asked, "Aren't you supposed to stay away from the Cheng family? Why are you back?"

Cheng Yuxuan smirked, "Your father begged me to come back. You should know that the old man's health is failing, and everyone is eyeing his estate."

The policewoman sighed, "I hope he lives a few more years... I'm determined to send him to prison!"

Cheng Yuxuan laughed, "My dear sister, where did you get this unfeeling disposition? I remember your mother was a very gentle woman. Besides, the Cheng family hasn't wronged you. Why hold such a grudge?"

"I'm a police officer!"

"Alright, alright, you're great and honorable... go ahead and arrest them all if you like. I'm not fond of them either."

The policewoman pursed her lips, her eyes darkened as she seemed lost in thought.

After a moment, she crossed her arms and said, "I reviewed the case files. On the night your mother went missing ten years ago, the police station received a report from your grandmother saying you had been kidnapped from your home... Cheng Yuxuan, what really happened that night? Where were you taken?"

"Overseas... I can't remember much. Anyway, I spent those eight years abroad." Cheng Yuxuan replied nonchalantly, then added with a smile, "If I hadn't returned two years ago, would you have thought I was dead by now?"

The policewoman took a deep breath, speaking earnestly, "Cheng Yuxuan, I know you've been through a lot that you shouldn't have. You came back to seek revenge, didn't you? But I hope you don't let hatred blind you. Trust the police and cooperate with me. I will help you find the real culprit!"

Cheng Yuxuan smiled faintly, "Sure, take your time with the investigation. When you find something, be sure to let me know. I'll send you a banner as a reward."

The policewoman said, "Don't let the wicked taint your heart! Cheng Yuxuan, you really shouldn't act recklessly, or you'll be no different from those villains."

"Villains? Haha... You actually use 'human' to describe them?" Cheng Yuxuan touched his chin, his eyes suddenly reddening. "Cheng Muhan, do you know how I've been living these eight years? Hmm? To be honest, I will repent... but first, I need to send them to hell, then I'll go to hell to repent!"

"Cheng Yuxuan! If you're stubborn, I will definitely arrest you!"

"Alright, haha... I'm waiting for you!"

Evening

The third and fifth brothers came home noisily.

As soon as they entered the living room, they saw Cheng Yuxuan sitting on the sofa with a gloomy expression.

"Third brother, come here."

Cheng Yuxuan motioned with his hand to the chubby brother, a wicked smile on his lips.

The third brother's heart sank, swallowing nervously as he approached, "Big... big brother, I told you, you were moved... why are you still holding a grudge?"

Cheng Yuxuan glanced at Xiao Qing, who was busy in the kitchen, and said quietly, "I sent four boat tickets, how come one ended up in the criminal police team, hmm?"

The third brother trembled, "Ah? No way?!"

The fifth brother, who was initially interested in the drama, also grew serious and quickly approached Cheng Yuxuan, "Did the police come looking for you?"

Cheng Yuxuan glared at the third brother and said irritably, "Fortunately, I had the fifth brother leave one behind and hacked the surveillance cameras. Otherwise, we'd all be interrogated by the criminal police right now! You fool!"

The third brother looked aggrieved, "I only started acting after the boat had gone far. How... how could it be discovered? This is just too unlucky."

"You!" Cheng Yuxuan raised his hand and tapped the third brother's chest, "If there's a next time, I'll send you back to Shaolin Temple!."

The third brother pouted and muttered, "You know I only know how to fight recklessly... Such detailed work was always done by the fourth brother before."

The fifth brother blinked, "Big brother, why not call the fourth brother back? He's a pastor in Korea now and is bored out of his mind."

Cheng Yuxuan picked up a cigarette from the table, placing one at his lips, "Forget it, he's married now. Don't disturb him."

The third brother said, "I still think we should call him. He handles some things more efficiently."

While the three brothers were talking, Xiao Qing came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit, "Young master, third brother, fifth brother, you have some fruit first. I'm making braised ribs tonight, so it will take a bit longer."

The conversation halted abruptly as Cheng Yuxuan flicked the ash off his cigarette and thanked Xiao Qing. His phone buzzed at that moment.

It was from the second brother: "The house is a large flat with two units per floor. The neighbor's unit is unoccupied. I've contacted the owner, and they agree to sell for seven million, which is fifty thousand above the market price. They only sell, no rental. If you think it's okay, you can move in tonight."

The previous message from Cheng Yuxuan read: "Figure out a way, I want to live next to Zhao Yanan."

After reading the message, Cheng Yuxuan immediately replied with "Buy," then looked up at Xiao Qing, "Help me pack my things. I'm moving out tonight."

Xiao Qing and the others looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"Young master, you... are moving?"

"Big brother, where are you moving to?"

"Are you really going to live next to Zhao Yanan? Big brother, are you serious?"

Cheng Yuxuan smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm serious..."

The third brother groaned, "Disastrous, you can't hide it..."

"D*mn you! Go kneel in front of Guan Yu and reflect! And stop singing?"

The fifth brother asked, "What's going on?"

Morning

Zhao Yanan was woken up by the alarm clock. Annoyed, she turned it off and snoozed for another half hour. Only when the alarm's "second line of defense" activated did she groggily sit up, looking both tired and irritated.

The beautiful woman wasn't usually a heavy sleeper or prone to morning grumpiness, but the person next door had been moving all night and continued until after two in the morning. By the time she fell asleep, it was nearly three.

Because she got up half an hour later than usual, Zhao Yanan skipped breakfast. After washing up and doing her makeup, she hurriedly left the house with her bag.

After locking the door and turning around, she saw the door of the opposite unit open.

Then, Cheng Yuxuan, who had been peeking through the peephole for over half an hour, stepped out.

Upon seeing this man, Zhao Yanan's expression was beyond shock; she even questioned if she was hallucinating due to lack of sleep.

"Hey? Darling, what a coincidence, you live here too?"
