There is a coffee shop.

The name of this coffee shop is simply 'Home,' which is quite unique.

By the window, slowly sipping coffee, Chen Longxiang stared outside with a face that fluctuated between expressions.

Sitting opposite him were two men, one with a bushy beard and another with a baseball cap.

These two had some skills; after being tied up by Ye Guichen, they had actually managed to escape, and now they were even in new clothes.

The man with the baseball cap had fair skin. Although he appeared older, his face was incredibly delicate, which many women envied.

Seeing Chen Longxiang remain silent, the man with the baseball cap chuckled and flattered, "Mr. Chen, although the mission wasn't completed, my brother and I did a good job with the factory fire. Shouldn't you transfer the remaining money to us now?"

Chen Longxiang abruptly turned his head, glaring at the man with the baseball cap. After a moment, he said, "How many times have I told you, that had nothing to do with me. It was He Lao Liu who hired you."

The man with the baseball cap forced a smile, "We don't care who hired us, but the job was done, so the money still needs to be paid, right?"

"The job wasn't completed, and you still want money?" Chen Longxiang was seething with anger.

He had thought that the factory fire would put Chen Ziran in a position of no return. Unexpectedly, not only did she recover, but she also regained control within just a couple of days, even to the extent that Elder Chen personally invited Chen Ziran back to the company.

This left Chen Longxiang extremely displeased, utterly displeased.

And so, he hatched a vicious plan.

As long as Chen Ziran and Ye Guichen were dead, no one in the Chen Family would compete with him anymore.

But, these two men with the baseball cap messed it up.

Chen Longxiang pushed an envelope toward the man with the baseball cap, "Listen up, this is twenty thousand yuan. The job wasn't completed, and I'm already being very generous. But if the factory fire or the car accident comes out, I'll make your lives a living hell."

After saying this, he gulped down his coffee and turned to leave.

The man with the baseball cap spat at Chen Longxiang's retreating figure, "Damn, what's this? He promised a million for setting the fire, and after the job was done, he only gave us half a million. Now he's trying to get out of paying and throws us twenty thousand to shut us up. Is he treating us like beggars?"

The man with the bushy beard sneered, "Well, if that's the case, don't blame us. This Chen Longxiang brought this on himself."

After saying that, he too stood up.

The two men quietly followed behind Chen Longxiang.

Initially, they had reservations about following Chen Longxiang, but now they had none at all.

In their view, revenge had to be thorough.

Certainly, Chen Longxiang didn't expect the two men would follow him. After exiting the coffee shop, he quickly hailed a cab to a relatively remote motel.

This motel couldn't even be rated and was just a common, small one.

Once he got out of the cab, Chen Longiang donned a mask and, seeing nobody was paying attention, snuck into the motel.

This scene excited the two men tremendously.

"Bro, does this guy really have something going on?" The man with the baseball cap, named Zeng Yu, originally a photographer, had used his job to take advantage of many naïve girls in his younger days.

But, as the saying goes, often walking by the riverside, how can one's shoes stay dry?

After many incidents, Zeng Yu inevitably got beaten up, and eventually, his studio was trashed. At his wits' end, he ran into the man with the bushy beard.

Next to him, the man with the bushy beard, named Hu Bing, was a former reconnaissance soldier.

When they met, the two hit it off and started working as private detectives, even making a name for themselves as the 'Black and White Twin Killers' in this field.

But only after a few years, they offended someone, and their detective agency was once again trashed.

With no other option, the two had to resort to desperate measures.

Hu Bing watched as Chen Longxiang entered the motel, took a drag from his cigarette, and said blandly, "I've always heard that Chen Longxiang is very discreet in his personal life. Over the years, there's been no scandal about him with any women. However, he is, after all, the scion of the Chen Group. Isn't it normal for him to secretly meet a woman outside?"

Zeng Yu blinked, "Bro, if it's just meeting a woman, that's normal. He's not married. But sneaking around like this isn't."

Hu Bing nodded, throwing his cigarette butt on the ground, "Let's go, get ready, and take a look. Oh, and bring your equipment."

"Got it." Zeng Yu grabbed his camera and some surveillance devices.

They slipped some money around, easily finding out the room number Chen Longxiang booked. Taking advantage of a moment when a staff member was delivering water, Zeng Yu discreetly planted a camera in the room.

With that done, they returned to their car and opened their laptop.

Upon seeing the footage, their eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets.

"Damn!" Zeng Yu couldn't help but curse.

Even though Hu Bing was a former reconnaissance soldier and had seen a lot, he had never witnessed such a...disgusting scene in all these years.

"So, Chen Longxiang...likes men?"

On the laptop screen, Chen Longxiang had already eagerly got into bed with another man.

What's more, Chen Longxiang seemed to be the gentle one in the relationship.

"Shit, haha, this is breaking news, explosive even."

Quickly capturing some face-revealing images, Zeng Yu sent them to Ye Guichen via WeChat.

Ye Guichen had returned to the company, sitting in the boss's chair with his legs crossed.

The Security Department planned to hold a welcome ceremony for Ye Guichen, which he declined.

As Ye Guichen put it, "The money belongs to our Ziran, what's to be welcomed?"

Moreover, with Chen Group, he could come and go as he pleased. Who could stop him?

In the past, if Ye Guichen had said this, nobody in the Security Department would have believed it.

Now, they were utterly convinced.

Chen Ziran was busy as a bee when she suddenly heard Ye Guichen chuckling. She looked up, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Ye Guichen replied with a smile.

Chen Ziran snorted, lowered her head to get back to work but kept talking, "Ye Guichen, you're now the Security Department manager. You should act like one. And also..."

Here, Chen Ziran paused, seemingly to hide her shyness but continued, "Regarding our marriage, my dad naturally has no say. My mom also didn't agree at first, but she hasn't clearly opposed it now. But since this matter was decided by my grandfather, we still need my grandma's approval. Her birthday is in a couple of days, and every member of the Chen Family and many distinguished people from Yun City will attend. Don't embarrass me then."

"Oh." Ye Guichen absentmindedly agreed, his eyes still fixed on the photos in his hand.

Such eyesores!

"A birthday banquet?"

But, upon hearing Chen Ziran mention Elder Chen's birthday banquet, Ye Guichen looked up, excited, "So, you're saying all the Chen Family members will attend?"
