~7 min read 1,250 words

The night grew deeper.

Moonlight shone through the gaps in the clouds onto the city’s high-rises.

They carefully left Rong Heji’s home and quietly returned to the vicinity of their vehicle.

Chu Tian took out his phone to check the map.

Moonlight shone on the city streets, illuminating the path ahead.

Weaving through the bustling city buildings, the three of them felt a hint of tension.

Pedestrians on the road were endless, and in the bustling crowd, they couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Chen Chen Zihao looked at the surrounding pedestrians and said in a low voice: We must be careful not to be discovered by people with ulterior motives.

Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu both nodded nervously, heightening their vigilance.

They passed by a bustling night market, smelling the aroma of food in the air, but had no mood to taste it.

The city streets at night were bustling.

Neon lights flickered with colorful radiance.

Reflecting on their tense faces.

They passed through one block after another and finally arrived at the residential area where Rong Rong Tianyu was located.

Compared to Rong Heji’s, this residential area seemed more prosperous.

High-rises stood in great numbers, the landscape design was clever, and everywhere revealed an aura of wealth.

Standing outside the gate of the residential area.

Chen Chen Zihao led Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu, preparing to find an excuse to enter.

However, their plan was blocked by a stern security guard.

The security guard looked at them sternly: Where are you from? This is a private residential area; you cannot enter casually.

Chen Chen Zihao looked nervous; he tried to respond with words: We are here to find Rong Rong Tianyu; we have something to discuss with him.

The security guard frowned: Do you have an appointment? If you don’t have an appointment, I cannot let you in.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked at the security guard.

She thought of a way: We are his friends, here specifically to visit him. We really have an urgent matter, which is why we came so late.

The security guard hesitated.

But still did not let them pass: Friends? Can you prove that you are his friends?

Chu Tian felt anxious in his heart; looking at the security guard’s eyes, he tried to move him with words: We know this is inappropriate, but we really have an urgent matter.

Please believe us; we definitely have no malicious intent.

The security guard looked at their expressions and still shook his head firmly: Sorry, I cannot let you pass. This is my duty.

Chen Chen Zihao felt a bit helpless and took a step back.

Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu also knew that continuing to talk would probably be of no use.

The three of them retreated to a corner nearby.

Discussing how to enter this residential area.

Chen Chen Zihao looked at the wall of the building cluster, and suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed his eyes:

We can go around the back of the wall and find a quiet place to climb over.

Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu heard this and both felt this method was feasible.

They carefully went around to the back of the residential area.

Found a relatively hidden corner.

In the night, their figures moved through the city’s shadows like ghosts.

Chen Chen Zihao led Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu.

Finally climbed over the wall and entered the residential area.

Moonlight shone on the quiet residential area.

Adding a mysterious atmosphere to this quiet corner.

They walked quietly inside the residential area.

Whenever the light under the streetlamps exposed their figures, they would quickly hide in the shadows.

They traveled around until they arrived at the entrance of Rong Rong Tianyu's home, where Chen Chen Zihao led them to hide in a nearby green belt.

Chu Tian said nervously: How do we know when he will return?

Chen Chen Zihao pondered for a moment: We have no choice; we can only wait patiently.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked at the surrounding environment and said softly: It’s a bit desolate here; if there is any sudden situation, how will we respond?

Chen Chen Zihao looked around.

And found it was indeed as Ding Ding Xiaoyu said: We cannot take risks; let’s find a place nearby to hide.

They found a corner and temporarily hid.

As time passed, the atmosphere of the residential area became increasingly quiet.

Whenever residents came in or out, the hearts of the three would jump to their throats.

The process of waiting tortured their spirits.

However, Rong Rong Tianyu never returned.

Chu Tian spread his hands helplessly: If we keep waiting like this, when will we ever find him?

Chen Chen Zihao looked at the clue in his hand and said in a deep voice: We cannot give up; as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must persist.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu nodded: Chen Chen Zihao is right; we cannot give up. As long as we find Rong Rong Tianyu, we have hope of getting that money back.

The three of them kept cheering each other on in the corner, encouraging one another.

The night deepened, and the wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.

The moon climbed to the highest point in the sky, casting silver light onto the earth.

Just then, they heard the sound of a car driving by.

Chen Chen Zihao watched nervously and discovered that it was Rong Rong Tianyu returning.

He quickly signaled to Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu: He’s back, get ready to act.

The three of them hid their figures, waiting for the moment Rong Rong Tianyu walked into his home.

They discovered that Rong Rong Tianyu actually didn’t go upstairs, but went straight to a small convenience store in the residential area.

Chen Chen Zihao watched in confusion: Why isn’t this guy going home?

Chu Tian touched his stomach: I’m starving; why don’t we go in and find something to eat?

Ding Ding Xiaoyu said nervously: But is this safe? What if he discovers us?

Chen Chen Zihao pondered for a while and then nodded: We do need to replenish our energy, but we must act carefully.

The three of them quietly followed behind Rong Rong Tianyu and arrived at the convenience store.

Rong Rong Tianyu was picking out food, and they took the opportunity to quickly find some instant noodles and snacks on the other side of the shelf.

Chen Chen Zihao looked around and said in a low voice: Let’s find a place to eat first, so we don’t get discovered by him.

They carefully left the convenience store and arrived at a remote corner of the residential area.

Chu Tian took out the portable stove he carried and quickly cooked the instant noodles.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu opened a bag of potato chips and chewed on them quietly.

Chen Chen Zihao watched Rong Rong Tianyu’s retreating back, secretly making a resolution in his heart: We must find him and get that money back.

Chu Tian and Ding Ding Xiaoyu nodded simultaneously, indicating their firm support.

Just then, Rong Rong Tianyu came out of the convenience store and walked toward the corner where they were hiding.

The three of them became nervous instantly, and Chen Chen Zihao hurriedly signaled them to hide.

Rong Rong Tianyu walked to their side and suddenly stopped.

He looked at the steaming instant noodles on the ground and showed a confused expression.
