Chapter 252 What Kind of River is the River of Love?

Gosh, Chu Yuxuan invited Li Bin to a secluded teahouse and advised him to be cautious about suspicious individuals visiting the bar lately. He also mentioned that Li Bin should keep an eye on the new recruits as Tianji Club might have noticed them.

He casually brought up the incident involving the smuggler from last night.

When he learned that the robbed person was Chu Zhiqing, Li Bin's face turned pale with fear. He stammered, "S-Should we… return it?"

Chu Yuxuan shook his head with a smile. "Find a safer place to store it. Once things calm down, you can dispose of it. Keep the money for yourself. Actually, this accidental gain might turn out to be a good thing. Haha."

Li Bin was confused and didn't fully understand. He awkwardly smiled and said, "Anyway, I'll follow your lead, Mr. Chu. Honestly, I feel like I'm blessed to be working with you. Haha. They say that enduring hardship makes a person great, but I think enduring a lifetime of hardship on my own isn't worth as much as just three days with you."

Chu Yuxuan laughed. "Humans have a common misconception that what they eat will enhance their abilities. So, if you want to be exceptional, don't just focus on enduring hardship; you need to be ruthless as well. Regardless of whether you're with me or not, you need to have some grit."

Li Bin nodded repeatedly. "Got it! I understand!"

"One more thing, don't get too caught up in women. Apart from that, you're doing great."

"I've already changed, Mr. Chu. Really, I have!"

After chatting for another half hour, Chu Yuxuan went to the villa. Upon arriving at Chu Zhiqing's courtyard, he found Chu Haoran there as well. The two were having tea and chatting under the pavilion in the courtyard.

Chu Yuxuan casually approached and noticed a faint bruise on Chu Haoran's jaw. He remarked, "Big Brother, did someone force you to kneel again?"

Chu Zhiqing:...

Chu Haoran didn't get angry; he smiled slightly and said, "No one forced me; they genuinely wanted to kill me."

"Oh?" Chu Zhiqing continued, "Yuxuan, don't be so disrespectful. Last night, Ye Yongsheng ambushed Haoran near the villa. Fortunately, Haoran's bodyguards took two bullets for him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Chu Yuxuan was surprised but soon smiled and said, "Strange. Ye Tianyi was captured in my underground parking lot. Why doesn't Ye Yongsheng suspect that I killed his son and just seek revenge directly from me?"

Chu Haoran shot him a look. "Ye Yongsheng has really gone mad. At dawn, he even attacked my home. More than ten gunmen, three were killed by my bodyguards, and two were captured alive. The others ran off and were caught by patrolling police. I've been giving statements at the police station all morning."

Chu Yuxuan picked up a banana, peeled it, and asked casually, "Did you get any information out of them?"

Chu Haoran shook his head. "No, they were controlled remotely by Ye Yongsheng. They didn't know where he was."

This outcome wasn't surprising.

Chu Zhiqing took a sip of tea and said, "All the directors of the Ye Corporation have disappeared. I've received news that some of them are arranging to launder money abroad for Ye Yongsheng. That old man must be asking his old cronies to raise funds for him. Once the money reaches his foreign accounts, he will leave. During this period, he will do everything in his power to seek revenge… This morning, I reported the money laundering activities of those directors and submitted some evidence. By now, their accounts should have been frozen."

Chu Yuxuan sneered, "Adding fuel to the fire, you're making him even crazier? Haha… Big Brother, you'd better be careful."

Chu Haoran said, "This is actually a good thing. A cornered dog will always show its flaws. It's better to deal with him now than let him escape."

Chu Zhiqing pondered for a moment and looked at Chu Yuxuan. "Son, you can't let your guard down either. Ye Yongsheng hasn't mentioned you or taken any action against you so far, which seems strange. Be vigilant just in case."

Chu Yuxuan replied, "Hmm, Nan Nan has protection around her, so she'll be fine."

Chu Haoran added, "Uncle, you took his assets, and I killed his son. Given the current tense situation, I don't think he has the time or energy to focus on the fact that Yuxuan harmed his son. His primary targets are us."

Chu Zhiqing sighed, "That's true, but that old dog's actions are unpredictable. I always feel that his madness doesn't quite match his usual demeanor. It's better to be cautious… This morning, I mapped out all possible routes he might use to leave the country and have expanded the search."

Chu Haoran was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll send people to check the usual hideouts and filthy places."

In the evening, Chu Yuxuan, feeling bored, decided to pick up his wife from work.

At this moment, Ye Yongsheng called Chu Zhiqing again, roaring like a dragon in anger, venting his frustration. Probably fearing that he would be tracked to his location, he swore for a few seconds before cutting the call. Two minutes later, he called again to continue cursing, making it quite amusing.

In the final call, Chu Zhiqing vaguely heard a whistle!

After engaging in a verbal fight with Ye Yongsheng, Chu Zhiqing hung up in feigned anger and immediately informed his subordinates to expand their search at sea.

Naturally, Chu Yuxuan wasn't in a hurry to leave. While waiting for news, he sent a WeChat message to Zhao Yanan: "Wife, come directly to the villa after work."

On the other end, Zhao Yanan had just finished a full day of work. In fact, if not for a few important contracts to sign today, Chu Yuxuan would have brought her to the villa early in the morning.

After seeing the message, Zhao Yanan hesitated for a moment and replied, "Liu Kai wants to invite me and Ruo Ruo to his home for dinner. I'll go check on his mother and come back after eating."

Chu Yuxuan: "Alright, let that big guy take you. Don't be too late."

Although Ye Yongsheng had a clear target now, Chu Yuxuan still didn't dare let his guard down. With Old Three and Xiao Qing around, Zhao Yanan's safety was somewhat assured. Moreover, with police everywhere on the streets during broad daylight, even if Ye Yongsheng went mad, his subordinates wouldn't be reckless enough to confront the police openly.

Criminal investigations often require substantial evidence, but counter-terrorism only needs a clear target.

Zhao Yanan: "Yes, his mother isn't well lately. I'm just going to see her."

She then called Liu Kai for a video chat.

At that moment, Liu Kai, dressed in a pink headband and multitasking in the kitchen while applying a face mask, was flustered. "Nanan, please pick up Ruo Ruo on your way. Hurry up, I'm almost done preparing!"

Zhao Yanan: "I thought it was your godmother cooking. Can you actually cook?"

"Oh? Has your dog of a husband spoiled your taste buds? Hmph… By the way, he won't be angry if you don't come home for dinner tonight, will he? I'm really afraid he'll strangle me."

"He won't, he's not that scary."

"Tut tut tut… You're so in love, Zhao Yanan. Haha…"

"Go to hell…"

As they spoke, Liu Kai's doorbell rang.

"I've got the beer. Gotta go, pick up Ruo Ruo quickly."

"Alright."

Hanging up the video call, Zhao Yanan stared blankly at her phone screen, reflecting on Liu Kai's comment, "You're in love." Unconsciously, Chu Yuxuan's face appeared in her mind.

What kind of river is the River of Love?

Zhao Yanan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She didn't know what love was, but she had an indescribable feeling towards Chu Yuxuan.

It was a sensation she had never experienced before, and it was growing stronger lately.

In fact, every day after work, she felt an inexplicable urge to return home.

She knew someone was waiting at home for dinner with her.

And it seemed that she really wanted to see him.
