The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

Inside the factory, Zhou Chu was struggling, and the bodyguards, afraid of hurting him, dared not use too much force, which made it difficult for them to restrain him.

"Let me go! My cousin is Chu Tiancheng. You want to get out of here? Let go!"

"Do you even know who I am? If you dare offend me, tell Fang Cheng to get out here."

"release."

Chu Tiancheng entered and saw this scene. He raised his eyelids slightly, looked at him coldly, and called out, "Zhou Chu."

Zhou Chu immediately fell silent. He looked up and saw Chu Tiancheng, and was first taken aback. Then, his eyes lit up and he smiled ingratiatingly, saying, "Cousin, you've finally arrived. That bastard Fang Cheng actually had someone kidnap me. Please help me."

Chu Tiancheng snorted, and Assistant Fang followed him in. He ignored Zhou Chu's words and looked at him with a "you're about to die and you're still talking nonsense" look.

"Cousin, save me."

Chu Tiancheng snorted, his face grim: "Zhou Chu, I never knew you'd be so bold. Kidnapping, imprisonment, what else wouldn't you dare to do?"

"Tie him up tighter, and watch carefully."

Upon hearing Chu Tiancheng's words, Zhou Chu immediately looked terrified: "Cousin, what are you doing? Why did you tie me up? What did I do wrong?"

“He Yunming provoked me first, so what’s wrong with me retaliating? Do you think he had any good intentions? He wanted to deal with me and ruin our Chu family. Aren’t you investigating him too? What’s wrong with what I did?”

Chu Tiancheng glanced at him, as if he were an idiot: "Idiot."

"You never think before you act. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail? Do you still think that because I'm from the Chu family in Yuncheng, no one will dare to do anything to you?"

"If you want to do something stupid, do it yourself. Neither I nor the Chu family will help you."

Hearing this, Zhou Chu looked dissatisfied: "Cousin, I am also a member of the Chu family. You can't just ignore this. Besides, was I wrong in this matter? It was that He Yunming who was a jerk and struck first. How clean can his heart be? Isn't he the one who cares about this sister the most? He dared to treat me like that. What's wrong with me letting him taste the feeling of being powerless?"

"Cousin, when did you become so kind? They've practically stepped on your face, and you're still acting like it doesn't matter?"

"Don't think I don't know. He Yunming was the one who broke my leg last time and filmed those embarrassing videos of me. You've already found out about him, so why haven't you taken action?"

"I'm your own cousin, are you just going to stand by and watch me get bullied?"

Chu Tiancheng glanced at him coldly, and he immediately shut his mouth: "Are you done?"

"Then let's talk about why I'm not in a hurry to take action."

...

When Song Ke arrived at the store, He Yunming was already sitting there. She walked over and sat opposite her, pointing to the milk tea in front of Song Ke: "I ordered you a milk tea first."

Song Ke glanced down at it and said, "Thank you."

"You said you wanted to talk to me about something, but what is it?"

He Yunming smiled faintly at Song Ke and said, "Gu Qing, she..."

He paused for a moment, chuckled, and asked, "I've heard some things about her past with Chu Tiancheng. I'd like to know, what's your opinion?"

Song Ke looked confused, not understanding what He Yunming meant: "What do you mean, how do you see it?"

"Um... He Yunming, do you like Sister Gu Qing? Don't worry, there was never anything between her and Chu Tiancheng. It's always been Chu Tiancheng's wishful thinking."

After listening, He Yunming didn't say anything immediately. Song Ke couldn't figure out what He Yunming was thinking, so she asked, "You don't mind this, do you?"

"There's really no need to mind. Everyone has a past. Besides, Sister Gu Qing has always been outstanding, and there are indeed many people who like her. However, the one she likes is you."

He Yunming lowered his head and slowly took a sip of his coffee, then said, "I know, it's because she confessed to me that I wanted to ask you."

Song Ke raised an eyebrow and asked him curiously, "So what do you think?"

"I think she's a good person."

"By the way, did you mention before that Chu Tiancheng found my sister's assistant and that she's already in Yuncheng?"

As He Yunming spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Song Ke's face. He had learned early this morning that Chu Tiancheng had met with He Wen's assistant, and he was giving Song Ke a chance to tell the truth. If she was honest, then he would consider her a friend.

Upon hearing He Yunming's words, Song Ke thought of Chu Tiancheng outside, but couldn't be sure if he had already met with He Wen's assistant.

She shook her head slightly: "I don't know yet either. He didn't tell me. That's perfect. I'm going to see him later, so I'll ask him and tell you."

He Yunming listened, his gaze still fixed on Song Ke. After a few seconds, he smiled faintly and said with a slight upturn of his lips, "Okay."

"By the way, you're going to see Chu Tiancheng. Did my sudden invitation to come over bother you?"

Song Ke waved her hand dismissively: "It's okay, it's okay, we're not in a hurry."

He Yunming smiled with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes containing a hint of scheming foreshadowing an impending storm.

As Song Ke was about to leave for her car, He Yunming suddenly said, "I'm going somewhere later, would you mind giving me a ride?"

Song Ke smiled nonchalantly: "Sure, don't be so polite."

He Yunming smiled faintly: "Thank you."

As soon as Song Ke opened the car door, she felt dizzy. Before she could turn around, she was caught in a hug.

Chu Tiancheng dealt with Zhou Chu, ordering him to find and destroy all the things he had photographed. He checked his phone and was surprised to find no call from Song Ke.

Judging by the time, she should be here by now.

Chu Tiancheng looked at his phone and instructed Fang Cheng, "Take him to the police station yourself. We'll talk about the rest after He Wen wakes up."

Assistant Fang nodded, then asked, "Should we inform He Yunming?"

Chu Tiancheng thought for a moment: "No need for now. I'll personally arrange to meet with him to discuss this matter. In the end, it was our Chu family that wronged him in the first place."

"By the way, did you find the place I asked you to find?"

Assistant Fang nodded: "Okay, I've already spoken to the boss there. I'll send the details to your phone. You can just take Miss Song there."

As a result, Chu Tiancheng waited until almost noon, but there was still no news from Song Ke, and the calls he made were not answered. He seemed to suddenly realize something.

He hurriedly called Fang Cheng: "Assistant Fang, find a few people to check He Yunming's schedule for the next two days, and keep an eye on him."

Fang Cheng looked surprised: "President Chu, what happened?"

Chu Tiancheng: "Not necessarily, I'm just feeling uneasy. You make the arrangements first."

Fang Cheng: "Okay, Mr. Chu."

Chu Tiancheng hung up the phone and, as he walked towards his car, continued to dial Song Ke's number. When the call ended again, Chu Tiancheng's unease grew stronger.

He nervously pulled out a cigarette, took a puff, and then looked thoughtful.

He was a reborn person, and his previous experiences prevented him from thoroughly investigating He Yunming's background. Now that he thinks about it, he wonders if He Yunming's deliberate approach to Gu Qing back then was truly sincere.

A telephone rang, its sound particularly jarring in the quiet countryside.

He subconsciously became nervous and flustered. He glanced at the number on his phone and found that it was Gu Qing. He looked disappointed for a moment before answering the call with little interest.

Gu Qing's somewhat flustered voice came through the phone: "Tiancheng, can you contact Song Ke? Tell her to be careful of He Yunming; he's going to make a move on her."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiancheng's heart sank even further: "Where did you get that information from?"
