At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, footsteps suddenly came from outside the room.

He Qiang was a light sleeper and woke up immediately.

"Chu Hong..."

He heard Leng Yanran's voice; she seemed to be looking for Yi Chuhong.

He Qiang's heart tightened, and he hurriedly got up and rushed to the door, locking it from the inside.

It wasn't that he felt guilty or worried about being caught by Leng Yanran.

His main concern was that it would have a negative impact on Yi Chuhong.

Yi Chuhong was also awakened by He Qiang's actions.

She sat up with a yawn, her hair disheveled, exuding a broken beauty.

"Chu Hong, where are you?"

Leng Yanran's voice came again, very close, seemingly right outside the door.

"Oh no, it's Yanran!"

Hearing Leng Yanran's voice, Yi Chuhong was completely awakened. She jumped out of bed and hurriedly dressed, looking quite disheveled.

He Qiang couldn't help but find her expression amusing.

She was so determined to get revenge on Leng Yanran last night, but now that she's about to be discovered, she's still panicking.

"Clatter clatter—"

Just then, the doorknob clicked loudly, and Leng Yanran pounded on the door, asking, "Chu Hong, are you in there? Hey, Chu Hong, are you there?"

"What should we do?"

Yi Chuhong abruptly stopped dressing, looking at He Qiang with helpless eyes and a panicked expression.

Seeing her expression, He Qiang roughly understood what was going on.

Ultimately, Yi Chuhong was jealous of Leng Yanran and wanted to steal her man.

But after all, she was just living off Leng Yanran.

Therefore, she dared not go too far, and even less dared to openly turn against Leng Yanran, otherwise, her fate would certainly not be good.

Leng Yanran may not be able to deal with He Qiang, but that doesn't mean she can't deal with Yi Chuhong.

If Yi Chuhong really angers her, Leng Yanran has a hundred ways to make Yi Chuhong wish she were dead.

Therefore, it's impossible for Yi Chuhong not to be afraid.

"Bang bang bang—"

Leng Yanran was still banging on the door, seemingly getting more and more anxious.

"Chu Hong, are you in there or not? Why did you lock the door? Let me in! I need to talk to you about something!"

Seeing Leng Yanran's increasingly urgent urging, Yi Chuhong became more and more flustered.

She clutched the clothes tightly in her hands, her face pale and her expression desperate.

He Qiang looked at her, wanting to remind her not to panic.

So what if they get caught? He can completely protect her.

But then he thought about it again and realized that if he were caught, it would be bad for his reputation, especially when he divorced Leng Yanran. He, the unlucky guy, might be falsely accused of having an extramarital affair and being unfaithful to his wife.

In that case, he might really have to leave with nothing.

He'd said it before: hurting feelings is okay, but hurting money is not...

Therefore, he couldn't remain too calm at this moment; he also had to find a way to help Yi Chuhong.

But what should we do?

After thinking for a moment, He Qiang stepped forward, grabbed Yi Chuhong's hand, and pulled her towards the balcony.

He shoved Yi Chuhong into a corner of the balcony and told her to crouch down and hide.

"Don't make a sound later, I'll handle Leng Yanran."

He Qiang finished speaking to her in a low voice, then turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

She called his name softly.

He Qiang turned to look at her, wondering what she was going to do.

She rushed up to him, hugged him tightly, and kissed him hard on the lips.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook. Go deal with her now!"

She smiled mischievously, and while putting on her clothes, she shrank back to hide.

She was basically naked from the waist up at this point, and He Qiang saw a large expanse of snow-white skin...

For a moment, his breathing became rapid, and his gaze towards her became somewhat dazed.

However, this seems to be exactly the effect Yi Chuhong wanted.

So when she saw He Qiang's reaction, she couldn't help but feel smug, as if she had won a battle.

What's worse, she was squatting down, which made it easy for her to do something bad.

She suddenly reached out and launched a surprise attack on He Qiang...

He Qiang's lips twitched in pain, and he instinctively bent over, glaring angrily at her before turning and leaving.

Back in the room, He Qiang carefully checked the bed to make sure Yi Chuhong's clothes weren't left on it before yawning and rubbing his sleepy eyes as he opened the door.

"Chu Hong—"

As soon as the door opened, Leng Yanran was eager to rush inside, but when she looked up, she saw He Qiang.

She was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "He Qiang, what are you doing here? Why are you here?"

"What's wrong with me here?"

He Qiang frowned at her, his face full of displeasure, and said, "You've been hogging the master bedroom, can't I even sleep in the second bedroom?"

Leng Yanran felt a little guilty after being rebuked by He Qiang, and stammered, "That's not what I meant. I just... well, when Chu Hong and the others came to our house before, they always stayed in this room. Have you seen her?"

He Qiang leaned against the doorframe, casually lit a cigarette, and looked at her, saying, "I saw it. What's wrong?"

"Ah, He Qiang, what have you all done?!"

He Qiang's words startled Leng Yanran, and her face immediately filled with panic. She couldn't help but push He Qiang away and rush into the room.

However, the room was empty; there was nothing there.

She looked around the room and, not seeing Yi Chuhong, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just in case, she even ran into the bathroom to check.

Still finding nothing amiss, she relaxed, looking somewhat embarrassed at He Qiang with a forced smile, "Um, I misunderstood you. I just needed to talk to Chu Hong about something. You said you saw her, but do you know where she is?"

"That's your best friend, why should I know where she is?"

He Qiang curled his lip in disdain and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Last night I saw that woman completely drunk, rolling around in the hallway. It annoyed me so much that I just locked myself in bed and went to sleep. Who knows where she went?"

"Then she might have gone to sleep in another room."

Leng Yanran smiled and walked towards the door.

"I'll go look in the other rooms."

She walked to the door, then stopped, turned around, and looked at He Qiang with blinking eyes.

He Qiang was only wearing a jacket and underwear, revealing his slightly muscular physique.

Leng Yanran was somewhat lost in thought when she finally stammered, "Um, honey, how about you sleep in the master bedroom from now on, okay?"

"Sure, the master bedroom is big, so it's only right that I sleep there."

He Qiang smiled, flicked his cigarette ash, and asked her, "So where will you sleep?"

"He Qiang, you're so annoying!"

When Leng Yanran heard that He Qiang was willing to sleep in the master bedroom, she was initially quite happy, but after hearing his next sentence, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"Never mind, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to find Chu Hong."

She glared at He Qiang resentfully, then turned and left angrily.

After watching her leave, He Qiang immediately closed and locked the door, then walked towards the balcony.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

Yi Chuhong was already dressed.

Upon seeing He Qiang arrive, she quickly stood up and looked at him, still appearing somewhat flustered.

He Qiang nodded and said, "We've managed to get through this. But she went to look for you in another room. If she can't find you, she'll still suspect you."

"What should we do then?"

Yi Chuhong was so anxious that she paced back and forth, looking very distressed.

"Don't worry, let me think of a way."

He Qiang frowned as he looked at the balcony of the next room and found that it was only a little over a meter away. Then, an idea popped into his head and he quickly came up with a solution.

He turned and went into the house, opened the wardrobe, and removed the horizontal bar inside.

Three crossbars were removed in succession, each about 1.5 meters long.

Then he took the crossbar back to the balcony and placed it on their balcony and the balcony of the next room.

In this way, a very simple bridge was built.

Once the bridge was erected, He Qiang gestured to Yi Chuhong.

"You crawl over here, I'll hold you and make sure you're safe."

"Will this work?"

Yi Chuhong looked at the flimsy "bridge" and felt a little conflicted.

"Don't worry, it'll definitely work. Just go ahead and be bold."

As He Qiang spoke, he grabbed her hand and urged her to climb up quickly.

She had no choice but to stick out her plump, upturned buttocks and grit her teeth as she climbed up the horizontal bar to the next room.

He Qiang reached out and supported her waist to prevent her from falling.

During this process, he inadvertently looked down at the courtyard below.

This discovery was quite significant. He was shocked to find that Amu, Ashu, and Zhao Tie, along with a few other scoundrels, were standing below, tilting their heads back and admiring their masterpiece.

Amu saw He Qiang looking down at her, and she waved to him and gave him a thumbs up.

He Qiang thought he had been very discreet, but it turned out that everything had been seen through.

He was speechless!

However, due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to say anything more. He could only help Yi Chuhong to climb over calmly.

Then he put away the horizontal bar, stuck his head out and glared fiercely at the people downstairs, and even clenched his fist and shook it at them, the meaning was very clear: if you dare to say a word, I will kill you!
