Su Qingyu declined Ye Shikai's offer to help with her business troubles, insisting on handling it herself. After seeing her off at the airport, Ye Shikai returned to his hotel where Tianjing revealed that their target, Huo Hua, frequents a bar daily and likely meets someone there. They identified a young man, the son of a major real estate chairman, as a suspicious associate, and planned to investigate further.

"His identity."

"The son of the Chairman of Longfeng Real Estate in Hong Kong, Long Xiaotian. Although he’s currently only taken over part of the family business, his net worth is already in the billions, making him very influential here in Hong Kong." Tianjing said calmly. The situation here is special; if the National Security Bureau rashly moves against Long Xiaotian, it might not be good. Moreover, they are only speculating that Long Xiaotian and Huo Hua must be linked. Whether they are in cahoots requires careful investigation.

"Regardless of the situation, since this person is cooperating with Huo Hua, a criminal, he must be involved. Tianjing, let’s take action. If we capture him, we should be able to get information from him. If we let him run, we’ll be passive." Shen Wu said excitedly.

"No, that’s too rash. We are here to investigate. It’s unreasonable to arrest someone based solely on speculation." Tianjing rejected the suggestion. Although the National Security Bureau has special powers, it doesn’t mean they can act recklessly. As the leader of the Divine Weapon Special Group, Tianjing has handled many cases and understands this point well.

"Tianjing is right. Longfeng Group is quite renowned in Hong Kong, with an excellent reputation. If we arrest someone directly and find nothing, we will be criticized." Jing Xie agreed with Tianjing’s opinion, as impulsiveness does not solve problems.

"Then what should we do? Knowing that Long Xiaotian and Huo Hua are connected, should we just leave him be?" Shen Wu retorted.

"Of course not. We have other ways." Ye Shikai said calmly.

"What’s your plan?" Shen Wu said disdainfully. She always had a bias against Ye Shikai. Tianjing quickly intervened to mediate between them.

"There’s a clever plan. Since Long Xiaotian is a businessman, to find out his true intentions, we should meet him with the identity of a businessman." Ye Shikai still intended to use Wu Yu to investigate, as the Wu Family is the leader of Hong Kong’s business world. If Wu Yu could help him, they wouldn’t fear not meeting Long Xiaotian.

"Yizai." Ye Shikai walked out of the meeting room and found Yizai outside.

"Mr. Ye, is there something you need?"

"Do you know Long Xiaotian?" Ye Shikai asked.

"Of course. This person is quite the spoiled rich kid in Hong Kong; he dares do anything, even offended my young master." This surprised Ye Shikai. Long Xiaotian is indeed bold, even dared to offend Wu Yu. In Hong Kong, even the remaining two major families must be respectful to the Wu Family on the surface. Long Xiaotian is daring indeed.

"How come he dared to offend Mr. Wu?"

"Well, it was last year’s incident," said Yizai to Ye Shikai. "At that time, the eldest young master had just died, and the second young master took over. Many in the Hong Kong business community targeted him, including Long Xiaotian. Later, when the second young master solidified his position within the group, they couldn’t gain any advantage and backed off."

"So that’s how it was. Mr. Wu was the target, and the Wu Group underwent internal upheaval. Everyone wanted to take advantage, so they followed suit. Long Xiaotian just wanted to profit from the Wu Group."

"Indeed. Later, when the second young master stabilized within the group, they all withdrew. Long Xiaotian is no more than a spoiled rich kid." Yizai agreed.

"There are many types of spoiled rich kids. Some just seek pleasure without any ambitions, but Long Xiaotian is the second type—a spoiled rich kid with a lot of ambition."

"Mr. Ye, since you asked me about Long Xiaotian, do you have a plan?" Yizai inquired.

"Of course. He has connections with Huo Hua, and they are quite ’close.’ I am going to investigate him next." Ye Shikai did not hide his intentions. Yizai would certainly relay these words to Wu Yu, but Ye Shikai was not concerned. Wu Yu might also want to seize this opportunity to take action against Long Xiaotian, or rather the entire Longfeng Group, with Wu Yu not only helping to investigate Long Xiaotian but also fully supporting the effort.

"I’ve already asked Mr. Wu to help investigate Long Xiaotian’s background; we..."

Knock, knock, knock.

At this moment, a knock at the door interrupted the conversation.

"Who is it?" Ye Shikai opened the door, surprised to see Chen Yuxin.

"Xin, why are you here?" Ye Shikai was quite shocked. Su Qingyu came to Hong Kong for business, which was understandable, but why did Chen Yuxin come?

"I’m here to find you," Chen Yuxin said lightly. Tianjing and the others also walked out of the meeting room, surprised to see Chen Yuxin.

"Mr. Tianjing, I hope I’m not disturbing your meeting?"

"No worries. We’ve almost finished our discussion." Tianjing nodded and signaled Jing Xie, Shen Wu, and others to go back inside.

"Miss Chen, is there something you need this time?"

"Just here to see my husband. Why, isn’t that allowed?"

"Of course it is. In that case, I’ll leave you two to chat."

Twenty minutes later.

"Xin, I’ve already told you, I’m here in Hong Kong to investigate the case. It’s already giving me a headache. It’s one thing for you to send Feng Ling to monitor me—but why come yourself?" Ye Shikai complained.

"Kai, I’m just here to check on you. Doesn’t a wife have the right to visit her husband? Besides, you’re neither a police officer nor a member of the National Security Bureau. You’re only assisting with the investigation," Chen Yuxin continued, "Feng Ling is there to protect you; don’t misunderstand."

"You’ve gotten pregnant, and you’re due soon. I’ve told you to stay at home." Ye Shikai persuaded.

"It’s okay. I’ll be fine. Ruoya has arranged everything." Chen Yuxin said lightly.

"Alright then. I’m still discussing with Tianjing and the others. If you don’t have anything else, you should head back soon. Don’t stay here too long."

"Wait."

"Do you still have something to say?"

"I heard... Miss Su is also in Hong Kong, is it true?" Chen Yuxin shifted the subject, revealing the real reason she came to Hong Kong.

"Yes, she came to discuss business with Wu Yu."

"How did you know?" Chen Yuxin asked back.

"I met her, at the Wu Family’s residence," Ye Shikai said calmly.

"Kai, regarding Tianya Group’s matters, I didn’t expect..."

"Enough, don’t speak further. Qingyu doesn’t blame you."
