Inuyama He led Ye Jingchen to room "205," slipped a room key into Ye Jingchen's hand, and began to give him another instruction, "Commissioner Ye..."

"Alright, alright, I understand. Please go back and rest, Head of the Inuyama family. I'm sleepy!" Ye Jingchen clasped his hands together and bowed to Inuyama He, then swiped his card, went into the room, and closed the door.

It made a loud bang!

Inuyama He looked at the closed door, finally letting out a long sigh of relief. As he left, he muttered to himself, "I hope I can have a peaceful night!"

The room was pitch black because the electricity card hadn't been inserted yet.

Just as Ye Jingchen was about to reach along the wall, he smelled two different women's perfumes, one lavender and the other rose.

Ye Jingchen twitched his ears, sensing the airflow in the room. Two people were approaching him. He muttered to himself, "Are they assassins arranged by that old man Tachibana Munemasa?"

He leaped into the air and delivered a split kick, slamming the neck of the person coming from the left against the wall with one foot, and simultaneously grabbing the neck of the person coming from the right and slamming them against the wall with the other.

My fingers had just grabbed its throat, ready to crush it!

"Ye Sang, it's us!"

"Shizuko?" Ye Jingchen loosened his grip a little when he heard the voice.

"Ah."

"And what's the other one?" Ye Jingchen inserted the power card and turned on the light switch.

He immediately recognized her as the young woman from the Yellow Springs Club, dressed in a black suit, pencil skirt, and light gray stockings.

Ye Jingchen had been busy for a long time and had completely forgotten about the young woman. "What are you doing here with Miss Sezuko? Didn't they take you to the interrogation room?"

"Ye Sang, can you put your leg down first? I can hardly breathe!" The young woman gently patted Ye Jingchen's calf and rolled her eyes slightly.

Ye Jingchen put his foot down.

The young woman immediately slumped down against the wall and sat on the floor, rubbing her neck and gasping for breath, coughing.

"Alright, stop pretending! Your breathing isn't erratic at all," Ye Jingchen kicked the heel of the young woman's high heels.

The young woman's lips curled into a subtle smile. She grabbed Ye Jingchen's trouser leg and stood up, placing her hands on his neck and pressing close to him. "I knew I couldn't fool you!"

Seeing the glistening drool hanging from the corner of the young woman's mouth, Ye Jingchen pushed her away with a look of disgust, "Hey! Don't get my clothes dirty."

"You two come in and sit down to talk, don't just stand there like idiots." With that, Ye Jingchen took off his tuxedo, hung it on the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, and went into the room.

Setsuko glanced at the young woman wiping her drool and tidying her appearance. "Hayakawa-neechan, shall we go in?"

The young woman grabbed Setsuko's hand, put her arm around her, and shook her. "If he wants you, do you think you can escape? I believe the Inuyama family head would be very willing to use a goddaughter to win over such an excellent executor, right? Before he starts using those underhanded methods, what's wrong with getting to know him in advance? What do you think? I can tell you're a little interested in him."

Sezuko lowered her head shyly and nodded.

Ye Jingchen plopped down on the single sofa. "You two sisters, go sit on the bed. This is the only single sofa in the room."

The young woman pulled Sezuko over and sat her down on the bed.

Shizuko was too shy to look up at Ye Jingchen, while the young woman gazed at Ye Jingchen with affection.

Ye Jingchen flicked his cigarette ash and glanced at the young woman. "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

The young woman's face showed a rare seriousness as she straightened up, looking quite like a full-time secretary.

"I am Madman Hayakawako, the goddaughter of Madman Kotaro, the head of the Madman family."

"The heads of your Snake Clan all seem to enjoy taking in goddaughters," Ye Jingchen glanced at Sezuko, "but why are you hanging out in the Underworld Club, where the Demon Clan lives?"

Madman Hayakawa tucked her hair behind her ears. "That club is one of the Madman family's secret businesses. I'm the boss assigned to that place. Making money from people is the same as making money from ghosts, right, Commissioner Ye?"

“That’s true. Making money is making money no matter whose it is, and I like money too,” Ye Jingchen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray. “I’m quite embarrassed to have swept up your shop. So you’re here to get reimbursed for your financial losses, right? Take stock, and I’ll accept whatever amount is owed.”

“It’s just a piece of cloth. It’s still usable after washing. We can put it back into use after some renovations,” Madman Hayakawa waved her hands repeatedly. “If you like, I have several similar shops that you can rummage through.”

Ye Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly. "So, you're not after the money?"

Hayakawako mimicked Ye Jingchen by slightly narrowing her eyes and smiling as she said, "Yes, it's not about the money."

"Hmm, I think I understand what you mean," Ye Jingchen closed his eyes and leaned his head back on the sofa. "That's fine."

"Hey!" Hayakawako got up from the bed and pulled Setsuko to walk out.

Sezuko looked bewildered, while Hayakawa kept pulling her towards the door.

Only when they reached the door did Setsuko speak softly, "Hayakawa-neechan, are we done talking already? I didn't even have a chance to ask Commissioner Ye about flying on his sword!"

"We can talk about those things at Commissioner Ye's celebration banquet tomorrow. I believe he will be happy to discuss topics that will make him look good! Alright, you should go back now. You haven't taken charge of the shop or anything yet, and there are many things you don't understand."

Sezuko was completely confused, but nodded. "Okay, but won't Hayakawa-neechan come with me?"

Hayakawa patted Setsuko's head. "You forgot? I'm Commissioner Ye's personally appointed personal secretary, and I still have a lot of work to discuss with him!"

With her hands behind her back, Setsuko smiled and said, "Then, Hayakawa-neechan, remember to get some rest when you're done. I'll be going now."

Seeing that Setsuko was about to leave, Hayakawa felt sorry for her and repeatedly grabbed her hand. "I gave you a chance this time, but you didn't seize it. But it's okay, otherwise he won't hold my favor against me. You can find another opportunity yourself."

After saying that, Hayakawa turned around and closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, Inuyama Setsuko vaguely sensed something, a slight sense of loss welling up inside her. The thought of those things was still thrilling. She swallowed hard and silently left. She didn't blame Hayakawa Ko; she only regretted being a little slow-witted and not understanding the subtle, roundabout meaning...

Hearing the door close, Ye Jingchen pulled the blanket tighter around himself and lay down on his side, muttering to himself, "Going out for so long, so long-winded."

suddenly!

Ye Jingchen felt it; someone seemed to be hugging him from behind.

The pupils shrank suddenly!

He turned his head and glanced sideways behind him, "Didn't you leave, you bastard?"
