This person, Mu Lingshan knew, to be exact, they were as familiar as one could be. Chu Ge had also met him; he was the chief of Mu Lingshan's precinct.

Suddenly running into someone she knew, and her immediate superior at that, Mu Lingshan felt incredibly tense. However, her reaction was quick enough; she glanced at the chief and showed a weird expression before turning her gaze back to the clothes.

"Brother Qian, do you think this dress would look good on me?" At this moment, Mu Lingshan's tone was coy and coquettish, shaking Chu Ge's large hand, with her fingers pointing to a rather revealing camisole dress.

After receiving a Byakugan and hearing Mu Lingshan's sweet and cloying voice, Guan Peng took a closer look and realized he had obviously mistaken someone else for her. He said with a chuckle, "I'm sorry," and was about to go about his business when suddenly another voice rang in his ears.

"Wait a minute."

The one who spoke was Chu Ge, and Guan Peng stopped his steps that were about to move forward.

Mu Lingshan was startled again, but she didn't let the tension show on her face. She tugged on Chu Ge's sleeve, and in a sugary tone said, "Brother Qian, help me look at this dress."

In her mind, she was thinking, "What the heck, big brother? Why are you even engaging with him?"

At this moment, Chu Ge looked at Mu Lingshan with a confused expression, "Didn't you say your name was Xiaoxue? Why does he call you Xiao Mu?"

After speaking, Chu Ge turned to Guan Peng, "Buddy, do you know this chick?"

Guan Peng furrowed his brow slightly. As someone close to fifty being called "buddy" by a young man, he felt slightly displeased but took another look at Mu Lingshan and shook his head, "I got the wrong person."

"Did you really get it wrong? Take a good look?"

Chu Ge said another sentence, and Mu Lingshan was almost fuming with anger at him, yet she had to maintain her calm and cast a confused look at Chu Ge, "Brother Qian, my name is indeed Xiaoxue. You're so bad, don't you trust me now?"

Though Guan Peng felt baffled and somewhat annoyed, because this woman looked too much like Mu Lingshan, he couldn't resist taking a few more glances.

"Hmm, I did get it wrong indeed."

After saying that, Guan Peng ignored Chu Ge and turned around to walk away gradually.

Mu Lingshan let out a long sigh of relief. In such a short moment, she felt as if her heart was going to jump out of her throat. She almost wanted to question Chu Ge, but she quickly realized that Chu Ge was obviously testing her. If she recklessly asked something, it might displease Chu Ge.

Indeed, that was precisely Chu Ge's intention, and Mu Lingshan's performance was commendable.

After wandering around the mall, Chu Ge bought two sets of clothes each for himself and Mu Lingshan and two cases and purposefully took her to stroll around the area near her precinct, causing her to encounter acquaintances from time to time, carefully observing her reactions.

Nervousness was definitely present, but unless one observed closely, it really wasn't noticeable to the average person.

This time, Chu Ge felt much more at ease. Since she didn't blow her cover even under such circumstances, taking her to Jinkai Villa shouldn't pose much of a problem.

In the afternoon, Chu Ge took Mu Lingshan to the bank, where he directly withdrew two million in cash, placing the money into the two cases.

When Mu Lingshan saw this scene, she was dumbfounded again. What exactly was Chu Ge planning to do? And where did this guy get so much money?

Of course, despite being shocked, Mu Lingshan continued playing her role as his lover, refraining from asking unnecessary questions for the time being.

Finally, the time came for the evening, and Chu Ge brought Mu Lingshan back to his place. As she was on the verge of asking but dared not, her eyes filled with anticipation, he announced something.

"Babe, you did well today. Tonight, Brother Qian will take you to Jinkai Villa."

Upon finally hearing these words, all of Mu Lingshan's exhaustion vanished completely. Her efforts finally won Chu Ge's approval. She couldn't help but feel reinvigorated, her eyes bright, but outwardly she coyly laughed, "Well... I must thank Brother Qian then."

After spending half the evening yesterday and the whole day today, Mu Lingshan basically adapted to this style. In her every gesture and motion, she resembled a woman chasing a wealthy man, and unless one knew the truth, no one would have imagined that she was actually a spirited and righteously-minded policewoman.

Chu Ge smiled in satisfaction, "Alright, with just the two of us at home now, you don't have to talk like this anymore. I've heard it for a day, and my goosebumps fell off several layers, it's so numbing, too numbing."

Mu Lingshan curled her lips, came close to Chu Ge, faced him, and softly laughed, "Brother Qian, you men, aren't you being hypocritical after getting a bargain? Don't you guys like this kind of tune?"

Chu Ge originally thought Mu Lingshan, after pretending the whole day, upon hearing his assurance that she didn't have to pretend anymore, would shoot him a sharp look and quip back a few lines. He didn't expect her to respond this way, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Amused and annoyed, he removed Mu Lingshan's arm, stretched lazily, and said, "Alright, didn't you say you were fed up with talking like this? Now you don't need to fake it, yet you're addicted to the act?"

Mu Lingshan snorted, gave Chu Ge a long-lost Byakugan, and said indignantly, "Tch, do you really think I want to pretend like this? Who knows if you're testing me again?"

Chu Ge chuckled. This was the Mu Lingshan he knew. Compared to her disguised self, this version of her was much more pleasant to look at.

"You're really cautious. Alright, after a long day, take a good rest. I'll cook, and after dinner, we'll get ready and set off."

Mu Lingshan was truly exhausted, but she immediately realized a problem. She grabbed Chu Ge's arm and said, "Wait, where did you get those two million from?"

"Borrowed it from our director."

Mu Lingshan was startled and asked in amazement, "Two million? Just like that, he lent you such a big amount? You two are..."

"Haha, good looks are a bother. Alright, I'm going to cook now."

Chu Ge shrugged, arrogantly touched his nose, and went to the kitchen, leaving Mu Lingshan blinking at his back, growing more curious, yet knowing it was pointless to ask him.

Anyway, everything will naturally reveal itself in due time, so Mu Lingshan repressed her curiosity for now.

After dinner, Mu Lingshan naturally took on the task of washing the dishes, and the two of them did some final preparations.

Once ready, Chu Ge left everything that could prove their identities at home, then took the fake license plate wrapped in cloth, two million in cash, and some necessary items, and along with Mu Lingshan, caught a taxi to the parking lot of Huafu Garden.

When Chu Ge took the fake license plate out of the cloth and attached it to the Ferrari 458, Mu Lingshan was dumbfounded once again. This guy... besides a Maserati, he actually had a Ferrari too?

Feeling Mu Lingshan's astonished gaze, Chu Ge finished putting on the plate, turned around, and smiled, "This car is borrowed too. Alright, get in."

Mu Lingshan nodded blankly, got into the Ferrari, and looked at Chu Ge like she was examining a monster, "You... won't be borrowing a tank later to blow that villa to bits, will you?"

Even though the idea seemed absurd to Mu Lingshan herself, considering Chu Ge's usual antics, it didn't seem impossible with him.

Chu Ge put on a serious thinking face, and after a few seconds, smiled slightly, "Hey? That's actually not a bad idea."

Mu Lingshan's mouth twitched. Watching Chu Ge constantly come up with various tricks, while she knew nothing, was incredibly frustrating, almost driving her crazy.

Mu Lingshan couldn't take it anymore. From the passenger seat, she grabbed Chu Ge by the collar, glaring at him fiercely.

"Chu Ge, what exactly do you want? Aren't you going to tell me? I know nothing; how can I cooperate with you?"

Chu Ge chuckled and said, "I was planning to tell you now. Why so impatient? Let go quickly, or if you keep pulling my collar like this, I might suddenly forget what I wanted to do."

Mu Lingshan released her grip indignantly, and Chu Ge, smiling, began speaking, "What do you think is the most crucial thing when trying to catch gambling?"

"Catching people?"

Mu Lingshan said without waiting for Chu Ge's reply, immediately shook her head, dismissed the thought, and with furrowed brows, said, "Compared to catching people, evidence is more important. With evidence like gambling tools and funds, as long as the amount is large enough, the person can't get away."

Chu Ge nodded, "That's right. We're going there to target the gambling funds."

Mu Lingshan was still puzzled and furrowed her brows, "Target the gambling funds? Didn't you say their casino is well-hidden, and can quickly transfer gambling funds and tools at the slightest sign of trouble? If they do that, they can easily claim the money is from their normal operations, right?"

Chu Ge smiled faintly, "What if the gambling funds are in our hands?"

Mu Lingshan was taken aback, pondering for several seconds before exclaiming, "You took so much money; you can't be planning to..."

Seeing Mu Lingshan's expression, Chu Ge knew she was onto something, snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, I'm going to play with them. As long as I win enough money, they can't deny it."

Mu Lingshan was dizzy, "Chu Ge, are you crazy? I'm a cop, and you want me to participate in gambling?"

"You're a cop; I'm not. And... as far as I remember, you, Mu Lingshan, Officer Mu, never hesitated, right? Since you could pretend to be a mistress or a lover to go undercover, using gambling to fight gambling isn't much different. Just a variation on a theme. Of course, if you feel it's truly inappropriate, you can still get out now."

Chu Ge smiled slightly and spoke leisurely.
