"Hey beautiful, who are you?"
Seeing the baffled faces all around, Lu Ye suddenly realized.
Damn, he’d forgotten to remove his makeup...
"Sis, it’s me! It’s me, me, me!"
Chen Xi pinched his cheeks, scrutinizing him from left and right before finally recognizing her beloved godbrother: "Holy crap! Gone for three days and my little brother’s turned into a sister?"
Lu Ye complained, "Ugh, it was that old woman’s lousy idea. She said if I dressed as a woman, it’d be easier to walk out of Riley International without causing suspicion from the Hong Ying Society."
Su Qianqian retorted indignantly, "If it weren’t for my lousy idea, would we have gotten out so easily?"
"Alright, alright, honey, you’re absolutely right!"
Luo Ying interjected, "Did you find the computer?"
"Got it!"
Lu Ye handed the laptop to Liu Yiyi, "Yiyi, open it and see if it’s the information we need."
"Oh, oh!"
Xiao Li’s files were stored in an encrypted folder, but he’d already confessed the password earlier, so Liu Yiyi opened it smoothly.
Sure enough, it contained detailed deployments across the entire Asia-Pacific region, as well as operational plans!
What shocked Lu Ye most was a list—Hong Ying Society had planted ten spies within the Shield Bureau, each in different departments, covering nearly every division!
Except for the one Chen Xi had already eliminated, nine remained.
Among these nine, the longest had been undercover for five years.
The Walkers’ files were classified even within the Shield Bureau. Last time, the mole had just happened to be assigned to confidential files, which was how he got hold of the Walkers’ information.
After Chen Xi took care of him, the other nine moles in the Shield Bureau likely remained unaware of the Walkers’ existence.
"Send all this information and the list to Director Chen immediately—let him clean house without delay!"
That night, the Shield Bureau was in utter chaos.
In more than a dozen cities—Shangjing, Zhongzhou, Licheng, Jiangcheng, and others—teams of agents were dispatched one after another. Using the intelligence provided by Lu Ye, they launched nighttime raids on most of Hong Ying Society’s strongholds...
All nine remaining moles were swiftly captured and sent to Shangjing for Chen Xiaoting to deal with.
Lu Ye had already notified Huang Yu ahead of time, asking him to bring a team to wait at the yacht pier.
After the Walkers docked, Xiao Li was personally escorted into a car by Huang Yu.
Still lost in a drunken stupor, he wouldn’t even remember what happened tonight when he woke up the next morning—thrown straight into jail without a clue...
A flawless victory!
Lu Ye announced with satisfaction, "Good work, everyone. Go home and get some rest!"
Liu Yiyi sidled over and asked quietly, "Captain, I don’t have a car. Could you give me a ride home?"
Zzzt!
Su Qianqian’s eyes shot at Lu Ye like a hundred thousand volts of electricity.
Lu Ye quickly declined, "Yiyi, I didn’t bring my Passat either!"
Lin Zhongze said blandly from the side, "I’ll take Yiyi home."
Liu Yiyi shivered involuntarily!
Although Lu Ye had vouched for her at Yiren Club’s opening last time, putting Lin Zhongze’s suspicions to rest, she had nearly gotten him killed at Hong Ying Society. Every time they were alone together, she felt guilty and uneasy.

Seeing Liu Yiyi’s hesitation, Lin Zhongze said awkwardly, "Am I really that scary?"
"No, no, not at all. Then I’ll trouble you to take me home, thank you, Brother Lin!"
"No need to be so formal; we’re colleagues."
Liu Yiyi shook her head, "I meant, thank you for forgiving me."
To say Lin Zhongze had no hard feelings would be a lie. But after spending some time together, he realized this girl was inherently kind—maybe she’d only resorted to poisoning him under duress.
"Let the past stay in the past. Let’s go."
Lu Ye watched, nodding with satisfaction.
Su Qianqian muttered, "Do you think Old Lin has a thing for her?"
"Come on, Old Lin’s old enough to be her father!"
"I was just joking. Why so defensive? Do you have feelings for Liu Yiyi?"
"Absolutely not!"
Luo Ying stood on the boat, watching the bickering couple, lost in thought.
Chen Xi asked, "Ying, do you have any family left in Mingzhu City?"
Luo Ying gave a bitter smile and shook her head, "I have nowhere to go."
Even Su Qianqian, usually quick to find fault, was moved to compassion.
Lu Ye had told her about Luo Ying’s past back at the hotel; she truly admired and respected this big sister.
"Ying, why don’t you come stay at my place?"
Luo Ying hesitated, "Isn’t that too much trouble?"
"Not at all, I have plenty of empty rooms!"
Chen Xi chimed in with a grin, "Qianqian, then I’ll crash at your place too? I’ve spent all year living on the yacht—dampness is getting to my bones."
Su Qianqian replied cheerfully, "Sure, no problem!"
In the corner of the cabin, Beauty Meng timidly raised her hand: "Then I’d like to..."
Lu Ye’s face turned cold, "No, you wouldn’t!"
There were only two seats in the Koenigsegg.
So Su Qianqian drove Lu Ye home first, while Chen Xi and Luo Ying took a cab over later.
Back at the Su house, just as they were about to prepare two guest rooms, Su Qianqian was dumbfounded!
Of the three guest rooms, two were now filled with clutter—only one remained available!
"We would’ve had just enough for Ying, but I didn’t expect your sister to come too."
"What are we going to do now?"
Su Qianqian was worried—she’d already agreed and couldn’t back out without losing face.
Lu Ye, on the other hand, was ecstatic—sis, I love you! Talk about a heavenly assist!
He grinned wickedly, "Let Ying have the guest room, and my sister can take my room."
"And you?"
Su Qianqian suddenly caught on, "You’re not suggesting..."
Lu Ye nodded, "Yup, you and I can share a room. Doesn’t that work out perfectly?"

There was no time for Su Qianqian to protest, as Chen Xi and Luo Ying were already at the door.
Lu Ye stifled his laughter, "Go on and entertain them. I’ll move the rooms around and come down to make you all a late-night snack!"
"Damn!"
Su Qianqian felt like she’d fallen into her own trap...
Lu Ye didn’t have much luggage; he just rolled up his bedding and moved it all in one go.
He went downstairs and made a quick meal of frozen dumplings.
After dinner, the women each went to their rooms, and Lu Ye stayed behind to do the dishes.
When he finally returned to the room, he found that the old woman had thoughtfully made up a bed for him on the floor.
Lu Ye didn’t mind—being allowed to share a room with her was already a great start.
Though he lay on the cold floor, his heart was warm.
Suddenly, his gaze fell upon something under Su Qianqian’s bed—a tactical helmet!
Hearing the shower running in the bathroom, he knew she was still bathing.
He crawled under the bed, retrieved the helmet, and examined it closely.
The helmet was battered, the paint chipped in many places.
Two lines of Su Qianqian’s handwriting adorned it, looking as if they’d been written in lipstick.
"Darling, I like you!"
"My hero, you must be a peerless champion!"
Beside the flirty lines were numerous little hearts...
Lu Ye was stunned, as if his nerves had been severed. He couldn’t breathe!
She—she actually had someone she liked?
Damn. Have I been cheated on?
Just then, the water stopped.
Su Qianqian emerged from the bathroom in her pajamas, drying her wet hair...
She saw the helmet in Lu Ye’s hands and froze in shock. "Why are you touching my things? Give that helmet back!"
Lu Ye stared at her and demanded, "Tell me, who is he?"
"That’s my secret—it’s none of your business!"
"I’m getting cheated on and you say it’s none of my business?"
Su Qianqian, eyes reddening, rushed over to snatch the helmet, but Lu Ye dodged aside.
He questioned coldly, "Explain yourself—what shameless guy dared seduce my wife?"
Su Qianqian bit her lips until they turned white, and screamed hysterically, "Lu Ye, you bastard!"
