A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

“If there are other smells in the house, she will definitely become alert and take action,” Shi Yanxia said.

Even with talismans, it's not a panacea.

Everything can leave some clues, let alone a person's scent.

"Plus the talisman on her back, it must have been blessed. Perhaps someone drew a talisman for her after she became uneasy, or someone wanted her to live like a person after death," Shi Yanxia said.

Zhan Jinglin gripped the steering wheel tightly. After hearing this, he said, "Should we send Gu Qing or Leng Ziming to keep watch? If any suspicious people appear, arrest them directly, or investigate further."

Shi Yanxia shook her head and said, "If too many people stay there, it will only alert the enemy."

"The reason Officer Huang was allowed to stay is because he's a police officer, someone who's killed people. He has a lot of malevolent energy about him. If anything unclean appears tonight, it will at least be afraid of him. Plus, I drew a talisman on him; if something really happens, the talisman will help him escape."

"But for the other people who stayed there, the outcome was different."

“Besides, he’s a police officer, and there are some things that need to be recorded. He’s the most suitable person for that. If something really happens, he can request an investigation from higher authorities or let the police know,” Shi Yanxia said.

No one can cover everything up, and she had no intention of letting Zhan Jinglin get involved in this mess.

Therefore, Officer Huang is the most suitable candidate.

"You're protecting me." Zhan Jinglin slowly uttered these words after hearing what she said.

Preventing him from participating, and preventing his people from participating, is all about getting him out of the picture. No matter how powerful the Zhan family is, they cannot go against the government. The Zhan family may have power, but that doesn't mean they can openly and legitimately oppose it.

"It's not really about protection, it's just that things seem a bit complicated, so it's best to let the police handle it," Shi Yanxia said, resting her chin on her hand.

Zhan Jinglin's Adam's apple bobbed; it would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

The Zhan family members are not afraid of trouble, but they don't cause trouble either. However, this is the first time in his life that he has been protected by a woman. This woman is there to bring him good luck and save his life.

Zhan Jinglin was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and his emotions were very complicated.

Along the way, he drove towards the Cheng residence.

The luxury car was parked outside the Cheng residence, where a figure had been waiting for a long time. When she saw the car approaching, she quickly went to greet it. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shi Yanxia get out of the car.

"Miss Shi, you've arrived? I thought you were busy and wouldn't be coming," Cheng Shuang said.

After dealing with family matters and selling the villa, she felt a sense of relief.

Recent events have made her look quite haggard, but she seems more energetic than before, and she doesn't try to hide the fact that her belly is protruding.

"You went in?" Shi Yanxia asked.

Cheng Shuang was willing to elope with that producer and even break with her family for him.

Her return tonight will probably not be smooth, but she was very open and fearless, exuding the aura of a young lady that made people dare not underestimate her.

"Yes, I've already spoken to them," Cheng Shuang said confidently.

She did not feel inferior because she had eloped and left her family; instead, she was quite composed.

“I’ve already explained the situation to them. As long as I don’t leave the Cheng family in the future, they will allow me to keep him. But he will have to take the Cheng surname. That would be the best outcome for me,” Cheng Shuang said.

She spoke with a smile on her face, as if the heavy burden on her shoulders had been lifted one by one.

"How is that so-called distant cousin doing now?" Shi Yanxia asked.

That was also the reason she came tonight.

"Inside, she not only wants to change her name to Shen Lianchu, but also demands that the elders in her family approve of her tonight and write her name into the family register. She's causing a ruckus inside," Cheng Shuang said.

As she spoke, she said, "Mr. Zhan, Ms. Shi, please come in with me."

Cheng Shuang knew very well that their purpose in coming here tonight was not to chat with her, but to target this so-called "Shen Lianchu".

"Yes, thank you for your trouble." Zhan Jinglin nodded slightly.

Cheng Shuang walked in front, leading them inside. The gate of the Cheng residence was opened, and the bodyguards looked at the two people behind her with somewhat strange expressions. After all, Shi Yanxia was so famous that everyone knew her.

They just didn't expect that Shi Yanxia and the young lady who had just returned would actually know each other, which was very strange.

Cheng Shuang led them toward the main hall of the Cheng residence. The closer they got, the clearer the noisy sounds from inside became.

"Uncle, are you not going to acknowledge me anymore? Even if I changed my name, I'm still your best treasure, aren't I? Why is it that only that person can have the name Shen Lianchu, but I can't?"

"Could it be that this name was originally meant to be mine?"

"Besides, everyone knows about Shen Lianchu's relationship with the Zhan family. Maybe if I change my name to Shen Lianchu, I can bring good fortune in the future and help you get cooperation with the Zhan family?" Shen Lianchu's coquettish voice rang out.

The Cheng residence was quiet, with some elders sitting there without saying a word.

Everyone stared intently at her; her personality had changed drastically since she woke up.

In particular, the constant calls to change his name to Shen Lianchu and even to be included in the family genealogy are quite outrageous.

"Shen Lianchu? It seems you really like this name." Shi Yanxia's voice rang out from outside.

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, and it suddenly rang out, causing everyone in the living room to subconsciously look outside. They saw Cheng Shuang walking in front, leading Shi Yanxia and Zhan Jinglin in.

Shen Lianchu sat there, constantly acting coquettishly.

Hearing the familiar voice, she froze, turned around in disbelief, and saw Shi Yanxia and Zhan Jinglin standing side by side in the living room. She was completely stunned.

"You, you, you all." Shen Lianchu was startled.

Unexpectedly, fate brought them together again. He had barely woken up when Shi Yanxia showed up at his door.

She originally wanted to be included in the family genealogy so that the Cheng family would cover for her, but before the matter was even settled, Shi Yanxia suddenly appeared.

She glared at Cheng Shuang with some resentment, wishing she could kill her on the spot. If Cheng Shuang hadn't brought Shi Yanxia and Zhan Jinglin in, the matter would have been settled after she finished acting cute.

Now that Shi Yanxia has appeared, she feels that her plans are going to fall through.

It's summer again, and summer is here once more.

Why doesn't she just die? Why does she keep ruining her own plans?

"You want to be called Shen Lianchu? But it's a pity that the last Shen Lianchu is dead. He died too tragically back then, and I'm afraid no one dares to be called Shen Lianchu now. Why are you so determined to change your name to Shen Lianchu?"

"Oh, so you want to use the name Shen Lianchu to get closer to the Zhan family and try to get something that will benefit the Cheng family? I remember that the Cheng family has always disdained associating with other wealthy families and has always been low-key in their actions."
