This time.

They were determined not to let Rong Heji slip through their fingers again.

When they arrived at Moonlight Lake Park, they did not appear immediately.

Instead, they hid quietly to one side, observing first to see if there were any ambushes or traps.

Night fell, and ripples spread across the surface of Moonlight Lake.

Reflecting the bright moonlight, the air was filled with the fresh scent of lake water.

Chen Chen Zihao, Chu Tian, and Ding Ding Xiaoyu walked nervously along the park path.

Surrounded by darkness, the only available light seemed pale and weak.

They pressed close to the bushes, trying not to make any sound, attempting to sense the movement around them.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps broke the silence of this “013” night.

The three of them felt a jolt and immediately became vigilant.

Chu Tian said in a low voice: Someone is coming, let’s hide quickly.

They quickly hid in the bushes by the lake, holding their breath.

Men in black appeared in their line of sight, emerging from the darkness like ghosts, mysterious and terrifying.

Chen Chen Zihao widened his eyes and asked Ding Ding Xiaoyu nervously: What should we do?

Ding Ding Xiaoyu replied with a trembling voice: Don’t move yet, let’s see what they do.

The men in black seemed to be searching for something.

They dispersed to every corner of the park, their steps agile, their movements clean and efficient.

Suddenly, a marble rolled out from somewhere, rolling near their hiding spot.

The men in black immediately cast their gaze toward this side.

The tense atmosphere reached its peak.

The three of them pressed tightly together, their heartbeats accelerating, fearing they would be discovered.

However, it seemed luck was not on their side.

Chen Chen Zihao accidentally snapped a branch behind him, making a crisp sound.

The men in black instantly sensed this anomaly and rushed toward them one after another.

Chen Chen Zihao said hurriedly: Run!

The three of them broke away instantly, running forward with all their might.

The men in black pursued relentlessly, a fierce light flashing in their eyes.

Chu Tian panted heavily, saying while running: Let’s split up; that’s the only way to increase our chances of escaping.

Chen Chen Zihao hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded in agreement: Okay, be careful on the road!

Just then, Ding Ding Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed Chen Chen Zihao’s arm.

She said urgently: No, we cannot split up. Dividing our strength is disadvantageous to us; we must join hands to fight them!

Chen Chen Zihao and Chu Tian widened their eyes.

But at this critical moment, there was no time to argue, so they could only nod in agreement.

They continued to sprint, weaving through the park’s paths and lawns, trying their best to shake off those men in black.

The park’s scenic area was like a maze; they moved between the lake, flower beds, and pavilions.

Sometimes hiding, sometimes continuing to run.

The night at Moonlight Lake Park was exceptionally beautiful.

But in this critical moment, it brought them unprecedented panic.

Several times, they were almost discovered by the men in black, luckily escaping disaster at the very last second.

After running for a long time, their stamina gradually depleted.

Chen Chen Zihao panted heavily, his forehead covered in sweat beads, and Chu Tian couldn’t help but exclaim: I’m exhausted.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu frowned tightly, looking at the surroundings.

She said with deep concern: We must find a place to hide as soon as possible and rethink our strategy.

Taking advantage of the gap where the men in black temporarily lost their trail.

They hid in a remote pavilion, gasping for breath, feeling the exhaustion and fear.

2.8 They knew that shaking off the pursuit was only temporary.

The next wave of attacks could come at any time.

However.

Facing such a dangerous situation.

They had no intention of backing down.

After gasping for a moment in the darkness, Chen Chen Zihao regained his spirit.

Looking at Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu, he said: We cannot just be helpless like this; we must find a way to find clues again.

Chu Tian nodded: Yes, we must find out where Rong Heji is as soon as possible to uncover the truth.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu rubbed her aching temples.

Looking at Moonlight Lake in the distance, she took a deep breath: Okay, so where do we start?

The tranquility of Moonlight Lake Park at night partially returned, the water ripples brushed by the breeze, making a pleasant sound.

Chen Chen Zihao thought for a moment and said: Let’s go back to the vicinity of Rong Heji’s home first to see if there’s anything we missed.

They carefully followed the path along the lake.

Avoiding the patrol range of the men in black, they arrived near Rong Heji’s residence.

The buildings in this residential area looked a bit old.

Exuding an aura of vicissitudes.

The streetlights at the corners swayed in the night breeze, casting dim halos of light.

They quietly approached the building where Rong Heji lived, preparing to investigate again.

Chu Tian looked around and warned: Be careful, there might still be men in black here.

The three of them carefully passed through the residential area and arrived at Rong Heji’s door.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu remembered when they had left in a hurry earlier.

They might have missed some clues, so she suggested: Let’s go check Rong Heji’s study again; we might find something.

They entered Rong Heji’s home on tiptoe and arrived in front of the study door.

Chen Chen Zihao clenched his fists and gently pushed open the study door; the three of them entered quickly.

The study was filled with bookshelves, with books, documents, and maps piled messily on the table.

Chu Tian picked up a book and flipped through it: There are some materials here about real estate development.

It seems Rong Heji was indeed involved in quite a few deals.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu discovered a smeared mark on a map.

She asked curiously: Why was this place smeared out? Could there be some secret?

Chen Chen Zihao looked at it carefully, a flash of decisiveness in his eyes: We must investigate this place; there might really be some clues.

After saying this, Chen Chen Zihao continued to flip through the documents on the table.

Chu Tian suddenly picked up a photo and said in surprise: Look at this photo, Rong Heji has a younger brother?

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked at the two people in the photo.

A glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: Could it be that the money is with his younger brother?

Chen Chen Zihao observed the photo carefully and found a line of text written on the back: Rong Heji and his younger brother, Rong Rong Tianyu.

Their spirits were instantly lifted; they had finally found a new clue.

Chen Chen Zihao immediately proposed: Let’s go find Rong Rong Tianyu quickly; we might be able to find out where Rong Heji is from him.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu quickly packed up the photos and documents and said: Okay, let’s set off now.
