Wang Haoran gave Zuoqiu Chenyu three days to investigate the whereabouts of Eagle.

During the wait, Fang Heng managed to acquire several small antiques, totaling a value of 12 million. The money for these antiques was transferred to Fang Xuan, just like last time. In just a few days, Fang Heng, this money tree, generated nearly 20 million.

At this rate, Wang Haoran estimated he could earn one to two hundred million in a month. The money flowed in like a mighty river. He no longer needed to rely on his family for money to maintain his luxurious lifestyle.

Having earned so much, Wang Haoran wanted to celebrate and indulge in the decadent life of a wealthy young master. After evening self-study, he sent a message to Wen Jing, telling her not to go back that night. Wen Jing happily agreed without hesitation.

On the other hand, Wang Haoran called Fang Xuan and invited her out as well. Wen Jing was so obedient that she would likely accept anything excessive. As for Fang Xuan, her personality might make it difficult for her to accept. However, Wang Haoran didn’t care about her feelings or need her heart.

Of course, Wang Haoran planned to be courteous before resorting to force. To prepare them mentally, he booked two presidential suites, placing Wen Jing and Fang Xuan separately.

Excitedly, Wang Haoran planned to first persuade Fang Xuan. However, just as he was about to open the door, his phone rang. He felt a bit annoyed. Who would disturb him at such a time?

Wang Haoran considered hanging up, but when he saw the caller ID, he realized it was Zuoqiu Chenyu. He couldn’t help but suppress his desire for pleasure and answered the call.

“My subordinate spotted Eagle near Tianxin Residential Area,” Zuoqiu Chenyu reported directly.

“Is the information reliable?”

“Do you think I dare to deceive you?” Zuoqiu Chenyu replied self-deprecatingly. She was under Wang Haoran’s control, her life in his hands, so how could she dare to deceive him?

“Send me Eagle’s photo to my phone.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Wang Haoran pondered. Eagle was being hunted everywhere, and it seemed he was hiding in Tianxin Residential Area. However, with so many residents, finding Eagle wouldn’t be easy.

Tianxin Residential Area? The name sounded familiar. Wang Haoran quickly checked the map and found that the community was near Shuizhe High School. He had been there when he took Song Zhenyu home. Song Zhenyu lived in Tianxin Residential Area.

Given the plot’s tendency to attract danger to the heroine, could she encounter Eagle? Wang Haoran speculated. In such a large city like Qingling, Eagle chose to hide in the heroine’s community. Qin Kai was also likely searching for Eagle. With Qin Kai’s resources, obtaining information about Eagle wouldn’t be difficult.

If Qin Kai knew Eagle’s whereabouts, Xiao Yifeng would likely know too. This meant the original plot might be triggered in Tianxin Residential Area. It seemed he had to go there immediately.

Wang Haoran decided and entered the presidential suite where Fang Xuan was staying. Fang Xuan, wearing a silky robe, sat by the bed, her hair still damp, indicating she had just showered. Her gaze was vacant, waiting for what was to come.

“I’ve paid for the room. Rest here, and if you have work tomorrow, just leave,” Wang Haoran said to Fang Xuan. He wasn’t sure how long he’d be busy tonight or if he’d return.

After Wang Haoran left, Fang Xuan was stunned, taking a while to recover. What did he mean? He called her out, did nothing, and left. Was he tired of her? This thought brought a faint sadness and loneliness to Fang Xuan’s heart.

…

Wang Haoran took a cab to Tianxin Residential Area. He didn’t get out immediately but used his X-ray vision to scan the surroundings. Soon, he spotted Xiao Yifeng at the security booth at the community entrance. The protagonist was indeed here. The likelihood of triggering the original plot here was almost certain.

Wang Haoran found a hidden spot to get out of the car, avoiding Xiao Yifeng’s sight, and sneaked into the community. Having been there several times, he was familiar with the place and quickly found the building where Song Zhenyu rented an apartment.

It was late, and it would be hard to explain if he suddenly visited Song Zhenyu. She lived on the third floor, not too high. Wang Haoran climbed up the building’s edge to the ledge outside Song Zhenyu’s bedroom window. The room was still lit, indicating she hadn’t gone to bed yet.

Using his X-ray vision, Wang Haoran checked inside. Seeing the situation, he couldn’t help but think he had come at the right time. Song Zhenyu wasn’t in the bedroom but in the shower. There was nothing unusual around. It seemed he arrived just in time, as Song Zhenyu was still safe.

The bedroom window was half-open, but there was an iron grille. Wang Haoran used brute force to open the grille and entered the bedroom. Then, he bent the grille back into place. Song Zhenyu’s apartment wasn’t large, with limited hiding spots. Wang Haoran glanced around and hid under the bed.

Song Zhenyu soon finished her shower and went to bed. Wang Haoran lay uncomfortably under the dirty bed, his body against the cold floor. He hoped for some results tonight; otherwise, he planned to search the community thoroughly the next day to find Eagle.

Time passed quietly, and soon it was 3 a.m. The room was filled with Song Zhenyu’s gentle, even breathing. She was sleeping soundly. Wang Haoran, however, stayed awake.

Time continued to pass, reaching 3:30 a.m. Suddenly, there was a faint unlocking sound from outside the door. Wang Haoran was startled, quickly focusing his attention and using his X-ray vision to look at the door.

A sneaky man was using a wire to pick the lock. After a few seconds, the lock clicked open. The man sneaked into the room and tiptoed to the bedroom. Instead of approaching Song Zhenyu, he took out a gas mask and put it on, then lit a cigarette and placed it in the bedroom.

Judging by the man’s actions, the cigarette was likely drugged. Wang Haoran didn’t stop him immediately but held his breath to avoid inhaling the smoke. After all, he had also sneaked into Song Zhenyu’s room. Even if he stopped the man, how could he explain it to Song Zhenyu?
