This Dragon King organization is really a criminal gang.

Don't like looking at them?

After He Yubing received Zhou Cheng's message, she immediately opened super message and saw his reply.

When she saw Zhou Cheng telling her not to send such photos because he didn't like looking at them, He Yubing's heart sank, and she felt a faint sense of disappointment.

But then, she couldn't help but grumble unhappily to herself.

"You say you don't like looking at them, so that's that? There are plenty of people who would love to see them. Why are you being so selfish?"

"Besides, these photos aren't for your viewing pleasure. They're for you to keep as leverage to threaten me with later. What, do you think I took them for you on purpose to seduce and tempt you?"

Pah, pah, pah! I, He Yubing, have never been interested in men, and I'm still not.

If it weren't for the fact that I can never repay Chairman Chen's kindness and need to keep guarding the Chenyang Group for him, I wouldn't have sent them to you at all!

In an instant, He Yubing thought of many things; basically, she felt a bit resentful about what Zhou Cheng had said.

In all of Shanghai, the men pursuing her formed a line that reached all the way to Paris.

On Zhou Cheng's end, he looked at the message he'd sent, then scrolled up to look at the photos He Yubing had sent earlier.

To say he didn't like looking at them would be a lie.

But Zhou Cheng wasn't the type to let his lower half do the thinking, especially since he had already discovered two people with special abilities and the Dragon King could return at any moment.

Forgoing these distractions and focusing on steady development was the Righteous Path!

Ding-dong. A message from He Yubing arrived.

"They weren't for you to look at!" He Yubing's message came through.

It was quickly recalled, but even though she was fast, Zhou Cheng still saw it.

He could sense the deep resentment in her words.

"Second Young Master, these photos are the leverage I'm giving you. I know your character, so it's fine if you don't like looking at them. Just save them. In the future, if you find that I've disobeyed you or have intentions of betraying you, you can use these to threaten me."

"When the time comes, you can just say: 'He Yubing, you wouldn't want those photos of yours to be leaked and seen by everyone in Shanghai, or even all of Great Xia, would you? As long as you behave and listen to me, I won't leak them.'"

"As long as you say that, I definitely won't betray you! Because these are the things I care about most, you can trust me one hundred percent now."

After recalling her previous message, He Yubing quickly sent a long string of new ones.

Her words were earnest and sincere, but to Zhou Cheng, it all felt a bit strange!

Those lines? So, He Yubing, are you teaching me how to use those tropes from Fuso against you?

Is this right? This seems very wrong.

"..." Zhou Cheng sent a string of ellipses to express his speechlessness.

"Second Young Master, is there a problem?" He Yubing replied.

"Assistant He, the reason my elder brother returned in less than half a month is that his issues with the Ye Family have been resolved. You should know about his divorce from Ye Juaner, so it has nothing to do with whether I trust you or not!"

"Secondly, my father has no talent for managing the Group, and he has no heart for its affairs anymore. Coupled with the fact that I have no desire to be the Group's chairman, that's why I let my brother take the position! This also has nothing to do with whether I trust you!"

"Finally, I need to tell you once again: regardless of whether you send those photos or not, I will always trust you. Do you understand? Even though you are my chief assistant and CEO, you can make decisions on all matters, big or small, when I'm not at the Group. This remains true even after my brother returns to be chairman. Do you understand?"

Looking at He Yubing's reply, Zhou Cheng could guess what was going through her mind.

So, he typed out a long reply to explain everything clearly.

Now that he'd explained it so clearly and in such detail, He Yubing should finally understand his intentions.

Otherwise, she'd keep sending those suggestive photos to tempt him.

Honestly, what boss could withstand such temptation?

On He Yubing's side, she looked at Zhou Cheng's reply.

She was pondering the meaning behind Zhou Cheng's words. Having been in the professional world for years as the chief assistant of the Chenyang Group, she wasn't just a pretty face; she knew there were things a boss would never say explicitly!

"As expected, sending them was the right move. Just like last time, the Second Young Master's trust in me skyrocketed after I sent the photos. He even sent so many words to explain things to me now."

She would have to keep sending them in the future, and frequently at that.

After some deliberation, He Yubing reached a conclusion.

"Second Young Master, I understand," she replied confidently to Zhou Cheng.

On Zhou Cheng's end, he smiled with relief when he saw He Yubing's reply.

It was good that she understood.

...

After clearing things up with He Yubing, Zhou Cheng returned to his seat.

He spoke a few words to Zhao Yier, warning her not to be foolish or try to be a hero when out on a mission.

Then he packed his things, informed Captain Wu and Captain Chang, and left the police station.

His one-week break started today.

He checked the time, went to have lunch, and then drove straight toward the Liu Family's residence.

He drove to the entrance of the Liu Family's estate; although it was just an ordinary domestic new-energy vehicle...

...the trope of a snobbish security guard looking down on someone, common in short dramas, didn't happen.

The security guard at the Liu Family Manor entrance immediately let Zhou Cheng in the moment he saw his face!

He even waited until Zhou Cheng's car had driven off before daring to grumble a little.

He grumbled about how Zhou Cheng was driving this junk car instead of his luxury ones!

It was the same Liu Family tea room, and once again, the heads of all the Eight Great Families were gathered!

Only this time, there was no banquet!

Once everyone had arrived, all eyes turned toward Zhou Cheng!

"Zhou Cheng! You were the main character of last night's events. Now, tell us, what should we do next?" the Old Patriarch of the Liu Family said in a low voice, suppressing a bit of anger!

His Liu Family had been the hosts yesterday, and things had been ruined. If the Dragon King held even the Liu Family accountable, he really wouldn't know how to deal with it!

"What else can we do? Just wait. Unless you want to be like certain people who accepted the Marriage Proposal Letters and let their granddaughters become someone's concubines," Zhou Cheng said nonchalantly, not forgetting to add a mocking jab.

"You!" Old Master Liu was fuming.

The heads of the other families also flushed with embarrassment, because last night, everyone except for the Zhou Family and the Qin Family had accepted the Marriage Proposal Letters!

Compared to him, they really weren't as unyielding as this young man, Zhou Cheng!

"Now is not the time to be impulsive. Zhou Cheng, you're young; you don't know the Dragon King's power. Back then, the Dragon King wiped out five families in a very short time! Let me tell you, when he fights, even a hundred or several hundred people are no match for him!"

"He also has many Dragon King Emissaries and Black Robed Envoys under his command! Surrounded by Luck, he always turns misfortune into a blessing, while the families that oppose him are plagued by bad Luck in business and other areas."

The Patriarch of the Li Family spoke up, wanting Zhou Cheng to take the matter more seriously.

For now, the Eight Great Families could still huddle and discuss things, but if the Zhou Family remained like this when the dragon kings return, they would have to cut ties quickly!

"Oh, really?"

"Then this Dragon King Organization really is a black-market cult and a criminal syndicate! In that case, everyone can rest easy. I will bring them all to justice one by one!"

The Family Heads: ?
