Chapter 129 Will You Touch It?

On his way home, Chu Yuxuan looked thoughtfully at the red card in his hand.

Chu Zhijing had told him that this red card was the highest level membership card at the Red House, and only a handful of people in Jiangcheng possessed it. Even within the Chu Clan, only Chu Xiaotian had one.

It was rather surprising that Si Tu Jingyao had given him this red card upon their first meeting. It seemed too valuable and made him wonder about her intentions.

Chu Zhijing noticed his son's confusion and chuckled, "Forget about her intentions. Just play along. It wouldn't hurt to visit the Red House more often; it might improve your relationship. She might genuinely be interested in you. Haha... Women are like that. The more steadfast you are, the more they see you as insignificant. On the other hand, the more flirtatious you are, the more they like you. Right now, you have the image of a charming playboy. That image is very appealing to women."

Chu Yuxuan was speechless. "Chu Zhijing, in the entire world, you're probably the first father who teaches his son to be unfaithful!"

Chu Zhijing maintained his composure. "I think this woman has a deep background, which you might be able to use."

Chu Yuxuan was displeased. "Weren't your two previous marriages also because the women could be of help? Chu Zhijing, sometimes you're just like the old man."

Chu Zhijing's expression stiffened momentarily. "I won't interfere in your marriage."

Chu Yuxuan shot him a look. "Wasn't my marriage with Nan Nan arranged entirely by you?"

Chu Zhijing smiled. "Just tell me if you like her or not."

Chu Yuxuan: ...

The next evening, Chu Yuxuan was chatting with Lao Si at home when Lao Er suddenly called.

"Big Brother, we found three of Liu Jun's former henchmen, but none of them know the whereabouts of Liu Jun's daughter."

Chu Yuxuan responded, this outcome was within his expectations.

The night before, when he had said he wanted to kill Su Dong, it was merely to intimidate Su Dong. He hadn't actually killed him but had passed the task to Lao Er, asking him to trace Liu Jun's former henchmen to see if they could find Liu Jun's daughter.

According to his previous deductions, Liu Jun hadn't been silenced because he must have some compromising information on those powerful figures, which was highly likely to be in his daughter's hands. If Liu Jun were to be in trouble, his daughter would certainly hand over the evidence to the authorities.

However, now Liu Jun had been officially declared missing and the case had made the news, yet there was still no sign of his daughter.

Moreover, Chu Zhijing had already released news that Liu Jun was in his hands. Why wasn't the real culprit making any moves?

Could it be that the previous speculation was incorrect?

Chu Yuxuan was somewhat frustrated, but he remained cautious and decided not to send Lao Si back to the Emerald Lake, fearing it might involve Zhao Yanan. He wanted to be prepared for any contingencies.

"Since Su Dong is no longer useful, get rid of him. Make it clean."

Chu Yuxuan paused and then asked, "By the way, Lao Er, do you know a woman named Si Tu Jingyao at the Red House?"

Lao Er replied, "Yes, she's the general manager of the Red House, and she has a very deep background. Big Brother, that woman is not someone to be trifled with."

Chu Yuxuan replied, "I'm just asking."

Lao Er said, "Well... if you really want to meet her, I can think of a way to have her brought to you?"

Chu Yuxuan: ...

Lao Er earnestly asked, "Will you touch it?"

Chu Yuxuan: "What are you thinking about every day? Don't waste your time on things that aren't your concern."

Lao Er coughed and said, "Alright... By the way, Big Brother, it seems he's a bit suspicious of me. At noon, he inexplicably asked me why I've been so elusive lately."

Chu Yuxuan responded, "Let's keep in touch less frequently for now. Be cautious and make sure your phone is secure. Don't let anyone eavesdrop on you."

Lao Er said, "Okay, Old Five installed anti-eavesdropping software on my phone before, and I haven't changed it."

"Alright, let's keep it at that."

After hanging up, Chu Yuxuan sat on the sofa, deep in thought.

Across the hall at Zhao Yanan's place, Zhou Xiaoruo was in shock. "He confessed to you?!"

Zhao Yanan nodded gently.

Zhou Xiaoruo had actually just arrived ten minutes ago. She had intended to warn her best friend to keep a safe distance from Chu Yuxuan but was surprised by the news she received.

"This is not acceptable! Putting aside your own psychological issues, just his frivolous nature is not worth trusting. Nan Nan, you must stay away from him. If he manages to open up your heart, you'll end up suffering terribly!"

Zhao Yanan sighed. "I can't even interact with the opposite s*x, and you're worried about me dating?"

After a pause, the icy beauty added, "Ruo Ruo, actually Chu Yuxuan isn't as frivolous as he seems. He told me he's just putting on an act for the Chu Clan."

"You're actually speaking up for him?" Zhou Xiaoruo's eyes widened. "Do you believe everything he says? You've seen how many innocent girls he's deceived. Look at his father, he's one of the biggest scoundrels in Jiangcheng. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yanan curled her lips. "I'm not defending him... I just don't think he's as bad as he seems. As for his confession... it's impossible for me at this moment."

Zhou Xiaoruo hesitated to speak.

Zhao Yanan said, "Alright, you sit here for a while. I'll change into another outfit. I have to attend a charity gala with Chu Yuxuan later."

"Okay..." Zhou Xiaoruo replied, watching Zhao Yanan enter the bedroom. After a moment of hesitation, she sneaked out of the house and headed across the hall. Taking a few deep breaths, she gathered her courage and rang the doorbell.
