Zhou Yanhuan looked at Chu Tianyao and said with a half-smile, "Now that the child's problem has been solved, let's talk about other things!" His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible mockery.

"Is there anything else?" Chu Tianyao looked completely bewildered, utterly clueless as to what Zhou Yanhuan was up to.

"The living room isn't the right place to discuss what's to come, Tiger Chu. You can have them all go back. We'll wait a bit and then go up to Chief Chen's desk for a private chat," Zhou Yanhuan said calmly, but her tone carried an undeniable air of authority.

After Zhou Yanhuan said this, the expressions of everyone present instantly became very complicated. Chu Laohu frowned slightly, seemingly finding the request somewhat difficult; while the others showed expressions of surprise and doubt, wondering what Zhou Yanhuan was up to.

Standing to the side, Chief Chen's expression also changed slightly. He glanced at Zhou Yanhuan, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. Zhou Yanhuan's attitude was firm and confident, as if she had already grasped some important information, making one wonder what she wanted to talk about.

In this tense atmosphere, the entire living room fell into silence.

The expressions on people's faces varied; some were afraid, some were confused, and some were calm and composed.

Chen Mingzhang, on the other hand, had a strange feeling, a feeling that was hard to describe.

I always felt that Zhou Yanhuan still wanted something from him and Chu Tianyao.

"No, I'm waiting here for my dad to go back together," the young man in the green military uniform loudly retorted to Zhou Yanhuan. "What if you hit my dad after we leave?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan looked at him with cold eyes and said indifferently, "Your father made my brother suffer a lot. That's the brother I've been searching for since I was a child! I was lenient by hitting him, Chu Tianyao. Besides, I have no intention of hitting him now. However, if you and your mother continue to stay here, I will lose my temper and really beat your father up."

Zhou Yanhuan continued, "Let me tell you again, your father can't beat me."

Chu Tianyao didn't want his son to confront Zhou Yanhuan, after all, she was his savior. So he turned to his son and said earnestly, "You and your mother should go home first!"

Chu Tianyao's son didn't seem to listen to his father. Instead, he stared intently at Chu Tianyao, his eyes filled with determination and unwavering resolve, as if trying to see right through his father. The father and son remained locked in this stalemate, neither willing to back down, staring at each other for several minutes. As time ticked by, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, and those around them could feel the invisible pressure.

In the end, the son had no choice but to admit defeat and reluctantly left Chen Mingzhang's house with Madam Chu. At the same time, the two staff members also left.

After Madam Chu left, Zhou Yanhuan acted swiftly. She signaled to her men to take Old Madam Wang and her daughter-in-law to the police station. Then, she specifically arranged for a bodyguard (secret guard) standing against the wall to drive lawyer Charley home.

After arranging things, Zhou Yanhuan looked at the child in her arms who had fallen into a deep sleep with a sweet smile on his lips, and she smiled back.

Just then, she noticed that Mrs. Chen, who was sitting next to her, was looking at her gently. A little embarrassed, she said, "Aunt Chen, I have to go to the study with Uncle Chen and the others to talk about some things. I'd like to put these two little ones on the sofa to sleep for a while. Could you please look after them?"

Madam Chen nodded with a smile and replied softly, "Don't worry, leave these two little ones to me. I'll stay here and watch over them."

After receiving a positive reply, Zhou Yanhuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still carefully moved the two children to make sure they could lie comfortably on the sofa, and then gently put them down, as if afraid of waking them.

Then he stood up, followed Chen Mingzhang who had stood up at some point, walked to Xu Linfeng's side, and pulled him along. Chu Tianyao followed behind Zhou Yanhuan, and the three of them followed Chen Mingzhang up to the study on the second floor.

"Hello, my name is Chen Mingzhang, you can call me Uncle Chen."

They entered the study, where Chen Mingzhang introduced himself to Xu Linfeng and asked everyone to sit down.

"I am Xu Linfeng, a friend of Chu Jianghuai and Zhou Yanhuan," Xu Linfeng replied politely.

"Yanhuan, is there something else you wanted to discuss with us in the study?" Chen Mingzhang asked Zhou Yanhuan.

Zhou Yanhuan sat leisurely in her chair, her eyes intently fixed on the talisman in her hand. She had just carefully taken it from her bag; mysterious and complex runes were drawn on it. She gently stroked the talisman, as if she could feel the power it contained. Then, without hesitation, she tossed the talisman towards the study door, which was some distance away. With her movement, the talisman drew a graceful arc in the air before settling firmly onto the study door.

"Uncle Chen, is Chu Jianghuai really dead? Don't try to fool me with lies. I've been playing these kinds of tricks since I was ten years old," Zhou Yanhuan said calmly.

All three were shocked by Zhou Yanhuan's words.

Chen Mingzhang and Chu Tianyao were shocked as to why Zhou Yanhuan knew the real truth behind it all.

Xu Linfeng was shocked to learn that Chu Jianghuai was still alive, and Zhou Yanhuan pulled him into the game.

Time passed second by second. After a long silence, Chen Mingzhang looked into Zhou Yanhuan's eyes, as if he had made an important decision, and said, "Yanhuan, your brother Chu Jianghuai is indeed not dead. He faked his death in the last mission and was sent by our military region to be an undercover agent."

Hearing the definite answer, Zhou Yanhuan felt a huge weight lifted from her heart, but at the same time, new worries and anxieties arose. She asked, somewhat agitated, "Where is he? Is he in danger?"

Chu Tianyao looked into Zhou Yanhuan's eyes and slowly said, "In Cage City in H Continent."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanhuan frowned slightly, as if recalling something. "The Cage City of H Continent... I'm familiar with this place; I lived there when I was a child. It's a no-man's-land in H Continent, a chaotic gray area, and also an important stronghold for drug trafficking."

Zhou Yanhuan said excitedly, "Uncle Chen, please, please let him see me and let him join your plan. I'll assist him. Let him be safe."

"No, it's too dangerous." Chen Mingzhang immediately rejected Zhou Yanhuan's suggestion. He knew Zhou Yanhuan cared about Chu Jianghuai, but this was an extremely dangerous mission, and he couldn't let her take the risk lightly.

Zhou Yanhuan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes firm and determined. "Uncle Chen, I know it's dangerous, but I must see him! I need to ensure his safety! And I believe I can help him!"

Chen Mingzhang frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Yan Huan, I understand your feelings, but this matter is really very dangerous. Chu Jianghuai is currently carrying out a critical mission, and any interference could jeopardize the success of the entire operation. If you forcefully intervene, it will not only cause him trouble, but may also lead to irreversible consequences."

Zhou Yanhuan was extremely anxious, tears welling up in her eyes. "But Uncle Chen, if I don't go, he might be in danger! I can't just stand by and do nothing! Please believe me, I won't be a burden, I will definitely protect myself!"

Chen Mingzhang sighed helplessly, "Yan Huan, I understand your concerns, but this mission is of great importance, involving national interests and the safety of people's lives and property. We cannot let personal feelings affect the overall situation."

“Uncle Chen, I am Tianhu. Don’t forget that I am still Princess Catherine of Yuzhou Kingdom, who holds military power. All I want is for him to return to my side safely.” Zhou Yanhuan’s eyes reddened as she spoke.

Chen Mingzhang remained silent for more than ten minutes before finally speaking, "Okay, I agree. Be careful."

Zhou Yanhuan said happily, "Okay, Uncle Chen, no one in H Continent can hurt me, and I still have some trump cards up my sleeve." Zhou Yanhuan pointed to the talisman on the study door.

Chen Mingzhang nodded; he had already witnessed the power of this talisman downstairs.
