"She's not an outsider," Cheng Yan cut in.
Cheng Zhou stuttered to a stop, his eyes growing wide as saucers.
No way…
Was his uncle truly set on this girl?
If that was the case, then Cheng Zhou must really drop his investigations, lest his uncle thought he was a rival in love or something. Cheng Zhou would be in deep trouble if things came to that.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Don't worry anymore."
Cheng Zhou spew out a few additional promises, then promptly hung up.
He immediately flipped through his contact list and made a call.
Thankfully, it was answered after just a few rings.
The voice on the other end was almost reverent. "Young Master Cheng. Please give us your orders."
"Stop looking into Yao Tang," Cheng Zhou said urgently.
The other man didn't seem keen on the idea, and he stammered his protest. "But we—Young Master Cheng, you have no idea… What I mean to say is, we are making significant progress. We'll get to the bottom of it soon. We just need a little more time."
