”It's not that. I don't have that much time.” Ye Shuang thought about it. ”I just want to investigate things clearer, and as for the decision that Zuo Yuanhang comes to in the end, of course, that is his prerogative.”

Han Chu thought about it and nodded. ”Even though there's no need to do that, this kind of small request is still acceptable.”

He paused before continuing. He sounded like he was lecturing. ”Xiao Shuang, you have to understand something. Law is not justice. Law only represents fairness—no matter the person, no matter the reason. Even if you pity her, you cannot challenge the fairness due to personal emotion because fairness represents order, and order is the basis for a stable society. Such is the situation, and if you position yourself a bit too harshly, it'll be easy for you to take the wrong turn.”

”How come I feel like this sounds so familiar?” Albert sipped through the straw when his face suddenly changed. ”Sh*t! That's what you told our supervisor two years ago!”

Two years ago, since FBI had failed so many times to recruit Anthony, for the first time, they decided to frame the man. Honestly, due to nature of the CIA, it was fairly common for them to do something like this. After all, they were the type of people who often ignored the law. However, for FBI, as a unit that is attached to the federal bureau, that was not exactly within character.

These people wanted to play on the dark side, and that was a huge step away from FBI's usual culture. When the thing started to surface, Anthony was spending the new year at Han Chu's. The encroaching hands were all chopped off by Han Chu, and then a series of sharp slaps were sent to various people in the FBI. Han Chu had said something similar then. There had been some accusatory things that followed. In the end, the result was two important figures in the unit had to hand in their resignation letters to settle the situation.

Because of this, Han Chu's name made a round at the FBI at the time. After realizing the man's power in China, the FBI's attitude became more cautious in terms of his good friend, Anthony. Without any real need, coming after both Han Chu and Anthony was not a good choice.

Han Chu's quiet gaze scanned Albert. ”Was I mistaken?”

It was because he was not wrong that they were so mad! This was a humiliation! Albert picked up the glass of fruit juice. He sucked on the straw loudly to express his dissatisfaction. Ye Shuang felt like she had accidentally stumbled across some insider information and temporarily forgot about Mrs. Zuo. She turned to Albert with stars in her eyes—Please share.

Albert ignored her, so Ye Shuang turned to Han Chu. Han Chu gave her face, and under Albert's scrutiny, he shook his head. ”It's bad for you to know so much.”

”Oh…” Ye Shuang sighed. With that over, there was nothing else for her to do for the rest of the cruise. Albert continued to investigate Mrs. Zuo's extra-marital affair. Ye Shuang either accompanied Han Chu to go fishing; accompanied Lu Shaoyue to the movies; or when she ran into the two kids on the deck, she played with them and took the chance to steal kisses from the boy.

The cruise soon reached its end. The last night was the girl's birthday party, and the next afternoon, when they arrived in Chaohai's pier, Albert had a complete report on his hands. With another folder of evidence, he handed everything over to Zuo Yuanhang.

”Albert and I will return to San Lin City first.” Han Chu bade farewell to Ye Shuang at the pier. ”The rest of the account, you'll need to clear with Zuo Yuanhang. Come home after you're done with the report and everything else.”

Ye Shuang had been a woman for four days and three nights. Until now, Han Chu could not understand theory to her gender swap, but in reality, it was not that important. After all, this was just his curiosity—it did not matter that much.

”Okay, I believe I'll be able to return tomorrow.” Ye Shuang glanced at Albert, who went off to talk on the phone. ”But it'll be Mr. Ye Shuang who returns. Are you sure it'll be fine with Albert there?”

Han Chu sighed. ”You can't hide outside forever, right? Don't worry, if I stay in San Lin City. He won't dare to do stuff that crosses the line, but if you accidentally expose yourself from your daily behavior, that is your problem.”

Albert's nationality and identity were too sensitive, and since the FBI had been taught a lesson by Han Chu, when Han Chu was around, Albert would be more cautious. Plus, he was too focused on annoying Anthony to give Ye Shuang much attention.

Ye Shuang sighed. ”There are some things in San Lin City that I need to deal with. You're right, it's not a solution for me to stay away forever.”

She had received so many messages from An Zixuan and Yao Zhixing, so she had to return soon.
