The person staring at the Ye family's house was indeed Cheng Taijiang.

He initially didn't feel confident. The reason he had boasted to his brother Cheng Taihe earlier, saying he could get close to Ye Ziyin, was purely out of bravado in the moment.

The Ye family and the Cheng family are worlds apart. To make matters worse, his father is now bankrupt and has become the laughingstock of Long City. How could the Ye family possibly accept him as their son-in-law?

Things are different now, he has climbed up to be under the same roof as Xin Huai, essentially becoming half a member of the Xin family.

Once Xinhuai completely brings down the Ye family, Ye Ziyue will no longer be a high-ranking miss. By then, won't I have my chance?

Cheng Taijiang's abacus clicked and clacked, especially after staring at Ye Ziyan for days. He found her features more delicate and beautiful each time, like a water spirit.

"Tsk, if I were to marry this little lass in the future, wouldn't that be a delightful thing..."

He was itching to see the Ye family fall, hoping that Xin Huai would bring it down immediately so he could take advantage of the situation.

Unbeknownst to him, when Ah Lang discovered his whereabouts, he immediately reported the matter to Xin Huai.

While Xin Huai scoffed at this, as long as the person wasn't eyeing Xi Xi, it was none of his business.

But…

"Don't let this idiot ruin things, we don't want the Ye Family to find out where we are." He warned A-Lang on the phone.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xin, I won't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch!"

Cheng Taijiang, after all, already knew about Xin Shao's part of the plan. What if he was found out by the Ye family and captured? This kid definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the Ye family's interrogation and would reveal everything he knew. At that time, things would get complicated.

Just as Aluwolf was about to "remind" Cheng Taijiang and give the kid a lesson, someone else found Cheng Taijiang first.

This person is Cheng Taijiang's brother, Cheng Tahe.

The two brothers were indeed handsome, just like Cheng Hongzhen when he was young, appearing upright and honest. They were twins, but compared to Ye Ziyu and Ye Ziru of the Ye family, they were simply worlds apart.

"Second brother, why have you been hanging around here these days?" Cheng Taihe noticed something was wrong with Cheng Taijiang, so he had someone drive over and followed him. He patted on Cheng Taijiang's car window.

Cheng Taijiang was staring at the night villa in the distance, lost in thought, when he was suddenly interrupted by his own brother. He lowered the car window irritably and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"It's been a while since the old man disappeared. You don't go to find out where he went, but instead you wander around Ye Jia's territory every day. Are you even going to try to bring him back?" Cheng Taihe asked with a frown.

It's not that he cares much about Cheng Hongzhen, his father. It's just that Cheng Hongzhen has made a lot of enemies outside, and those enemies are all eyeing him hungrily. If they can't find Cheng Hongzhen, they will come for his two brothers instead. Where would he be able to withstand that then?

“I don’t think… It might be that the Night Family has taken him, so I came to keep an eye on things.” Cheng Taijiang explained along with his words.

"How come I don't think so?" Cheng Taihe knew his brother too well, "How come I feel like you have your eyes on some girl, that's why you keep coming here?"

"Saying that, he directly opened the car door and pulled Cheng Taijiang's car key: 'I tell you, this car is mine, it's not for you to pick up girls, either do something right, or return the car to me and figure out your own way!' "

Cheng Taihe, this big brother, treasures his car dearly and wouldn't let Cheng Taijiang drive his beloved vehicle recklessly.

Cheng Taijiang relied on this car to spruce up his image when he went out. Seeing the car stolen, he cursed it dozens of times in his heart, but all he could do on his face was explain without a hint of anger.

“Big brother, it’s not what you think. I’m planning for our future family. That girl named Ye Ziyān has never had a boyfriend. With my skills, it wouldn't be hard to get with someone inexperienced like her…”

Before he could finish, Cheng Taihe let out a cold laugh: "Ye Ziyan? You really set your sights on her? I think you're just looking to die faster!"

Seeing that this wouldn't persuade Cheng Taihe either, Cheng Taijiang grew impatient and unleashed his trump card: "To be honest with you, this isn't entirely impossible. You know the Xin family who is currently at odds with Ye Family, right?"

"The Xin family?" Cheng Taihe frowned. "How do you know about the Xin family?"

Only a very small number of people know about the existence of the Xin family. Even Cheng Taihe, only heard about it by chance at a high-end business gathering.

Cheng Taijiang, this good-for-nothing who only knows how to pick up women, naturally wouldn't have the qualifications to attend those business gatherings.

Cheng Taihe looked suspicious: "You wouldn't have anything to do with the Xin family, would you?"

"Of course," Cheng Taijiang said with a smug smile, "I won't lie to you. The head of the Xin family is my brother. He even took me to their headquarters the other day…"

"Slap—"

A slap landed directly on Cheng Taijiang's face, stunning him.

It wasn't someone else who slapped him, it was his own brother, Cheng Taihe.

"Are you crazy? That's something you can get involved in?" Cheng Taihe, although also a playboy, was much more clear-headed than his younger brother when facing this kind of situation. "What are you getting involved in when two giant Buddhas are fighting? Aren't you afraid of death? I'm even more afraid! What if you drag me down?"

Cheng Taijiang came back to his senses from the slap, instantly blushing and his neck turning red: "You dare hit me!"

"I'm hitting you, you fool," Cheng Tahe put on an air of being the big boss, "Even if the Ye family is beaten down, it's still a camel that's starved to death bigger than a horse. Following that Xin Huai, even if you really come up with some good ideas for him, you'll end up like a rabbit killed, the dog cooked. Have you wasted all these years living? What kind of good people do you think the Xin family are? Do you still expect them to treat you well?"

Although Cheng Taijiang was so angry he wanted to fight, he couldn't help but admit that there was some truth to what was said.

Even though she was still angry, she stubbornly said, "It's not like I care if you go and fawn over the Ye family!"

"If you want to curry favor, go ahead and do it yourself," Cheng Taihe saw that he was unmoved, directly got into the car, sat beside him, and softened his tone slightly. "Think about it, this is a great opportunity? You've already gotten inside the Xin family, as long as you're willing to give Ye family information, wouldn't they stop targeting our family?"

"Give the Ye family a message?" Cheng Taijiang instinctively recoiled, "Why? The old man went bankrupt because they harmed him…"

"Let me finish first."

Cheng Taihe patiently persuaded him.

“Before, Ye Ziyue dealt with our family because the old man was asking for it. This has nothing to do with either of us. We have no grudge against Ye Ziyue. Besides, now there's nowhere in Longcheng for the Xin family to hide. Doesn't that speak volumes? That Xin Huai couldn’t possibly be a match for Ye Ziyue! Just tell Ye Ziyue what you know and help him deal with Xin Huai. He won’t hesitate to reward you.”
