In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

"It's too late now. I won't listen to your nonsense." After saying that, the casino owner waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Come on! Drag these two away and throw them into the dog pen."

"Wait, hey..."

"Boss, I can explain."

The casino thugs picked up Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin, one on each side, and then dragged them away.

Before the two of them reached the dog pen, they heard the barking of dogs one after another.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

"Wang Wang Wang-"

Su Zhizhi could already imagine how ferocious those wild dogs were, and she shuddered subconsciously.

"We're here, we can throw it away." After saying that, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin felt a strong force coming from behind them, and with a "thump", the two fell into the dog pen.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

The appearance of the two was like timely help to the wild dogs that had not eaten for many days. All the mad dogs in the dog farm rushed towards them.

Xie Chengjin was the first to react when he saw this. He pulled Su Zhizhi and ran subconsciously. Otherwise, if he stood there, he would definitely be bitten half to death by the vicious dog.

As the two of them were running desperately, Su Zhizhi accidentally caught a glimpse of a small hole on the side. Seeing this, she quickly shouted to Xie Chengjin, "Xie Chengjin, there's a small hole over there. I wonder if it's the exit!"

Xie Chengjin looked in the direction of the sound and found the small hole. Looking at the wild dogs chasing him relentlessly, Xie Chengjin said with determination, "Let's go! We'll find out after taking a look."

After saying that, Xie Chengjin pulled Su Zhizhi towards the small cave.

When they were almost at the cave entrance, Xie Chengjin pushed Su Zhizhi in, while he himself was responsible for cleaning up the mess.

Su Zhizhi immediately understood what Xie Chengjin meant, and she desperately crawled out.

Xie Chengjin followed closely behind, but because the wild dogs were so fast, Xie Chengjin's clothes were accidentally torn by the wild dogs before he could escape.

In an unknown alley outside the casino.

Looking at Xie Chengjin's miserable appearance, Su Zhizhi burst out laughing.

Xie Chengjin belatedly realized and looked down at his clothes. He saw that his clothes were already tattered with marks of being bitten by the dogs. Strips of cloth were hanging on his body, and especially when he met Su Zhizhi's gaze, Xie Chengjin's face couldn't help but blush.

He said with a little embarrassment: "What are you laughing at? Go away quickly. You finally escaped. Don't let yourself be caught again."

Su Zhizhi suppressed her smile and looked away. Just as she looked to the side, her gaze met that of a dog-raising thug next to her.

Su Zhizhi's expression suddenly became serious, and she even pulled Xie Chengjin who was trying to put on his clothes.

The two sides looked at each other, and the other party keenly realized that something was wrong. At the same time, he was moving back quietly, wanting to run back and inform the news.

Seeing this, Su Zhizhi quickly ran a few steps and pulled the person back.

Seeing that the man seemed to want to call for help, he stretched out his hand and slashed the back of the man's neck with a knife. The next second, the man fainted on the ground.

Only after they confirmed that the man was unconscious did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Su Zhizhi didn't bother to laugh at Xie Chengjin's miserable appearance, and said seriously, "This is not a place to stay for long. Let's escape first. We knocked this man unconscious, and we don't know when he will wake up. If he wakes up before we leave, we will be in trouble."

Xie Chengjin also nodded in agreement with a stern face, and the two of them began to grope towards the exit quietly.

There were many guards along the way, and the two of them took a lot of effort to escape from the casino. After seeing the light of day again, Su Zhizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed back to the Lin Mansion with Xie Chengjin without stopping.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Xie Chengjin went back to his room to take a shower and change clothes. He even threw the women's dress into the trash, as if he didn't want to look at it again.

Su Zhizhi was a little slower than Xie Chengjin in looking at him, and she saw Xie Chengjin's "destroying the body" action with her own eyes, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

The dog pen was extremely dirty, and Su Zhizhi couldn't stand the smell on her body anymore, so she rinsed herself repeatedly in the bathtub until only the fresh scent of bathing remained on her body.

The two came out of the house almost at the same time.

Su Zhizhi looked at Xie Chengjin, who was dressed in men's clothes, and couldn't help but tease, "I've seen Miss Xie so many times, but I'm a little uncomfortable with Mr. Xie's outfit. Thinking about Miss Xie's features, if I were a man, I would definitely be moved."

Xie Chengjin's fair face flushed instantly, but he seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I've never seen you in men's clothing before. Why don't you open your eyes for me some other day? How about, if I think it's suitable, you will marry me?"

Su Zhizhi choked and didn't know what to say for a moment. She gave Xie Chengjin a cold look.

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Although the process of going to the casino this time was a bit indescribable, I still got some useful things. Do you think this matches the information you collected about the flower thief?"

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin walked side by side towards the study. On the way, Xie Chengjin's brows were furrowed. He was trying to piece together the evidence between the two parties, but in the end, he shook his head helplessly, "It hardly matches. I think we must have found the wrong person."

Su Zhizhi wanted to say something, but when she looked up, she saw that the two of them had already walked into the study, so she simply shut her mouth, pushed open the door and walked in.

Lin Kaituo had been waiting in the study for a long time. When he saw the two people come in, he asked anxiously, "What's the situation?"

Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi exchanged a glance, and Xie Chengjin shook his head and said, "The information doesn't match."

"Then what should we do next? Do we have to go out and look for it again?" Lin Kaituo also had a worried look on his face.

Xie Chengjin was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Don't bother with that. I have a way to solve this problem, but I need a separate space."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kaituo immediately waved his hand and readily agreed, "That's easy. I'll have someone prepare a separate room for you."

After saying that, Lin Kaituo called the servant in. Half an hour later, the servant came to report that the room had been cleaned up.

Xie Chengjin thanked him and then directed his servants to bring the captured flower thief inside. Before closing the door, Xie Chengjin specifically instructed, "Don't let anyone get close to this room until I come out."

The room with the door closed was almost dark, with only the oil lamps in the four corners dimly lit. These were specially prepared by Xie Chengjin.
