The information stream told her that no one would be at the Chu family's house at this time, which was why she had come so boldly. If she had known that Chu Hengyuan was here, even if Chu Chuan had begged her personally, she wouldn't have dared to get anywhere near Chu Hengyuan.
Chu Hengyuan was simply too terrifying!
"Just stealing documents?" Chu Hengyuan didn't buy Han Xiaoshuang's nonsense. He saw through her little scheme and took a step forward with a smile, never putting down the fruit knife in his hand. "Mrs. Han went through so much trouble to break into my house just to steal documents? I'm not quite convinced."
Seeing that Han Xiaoshuang wasn't paying attention to her, Rong Lan also nodded her little head in agreement.
It didn't make sense that she'd gone to all that trouble just to steal a document.
"I really just wanted to steal a document. I didn't mean to do anything else," Han Xiaoshuang said as she backed towards the door. "I was wrong. I'm really wrong. I'll leave right away! Young Master Chu, you're magnanimous. Don't be angry with me. I was just temporarily blinded by greed. There won't be a next time!"
She thought her words had held Chu Hengyuan back. After backing up a certain distance, she glanced behind her, then suddenly turned around and rushed out of the door.
She ran extremely clumsily and almost tripped, but somehow her survival instinct kept her on her feet. However, she knocked over the chair at the entrance.
The chair fell with a loud bang, which startled Rong Lan.
She stretched out her paw to smooth the fur on her body that had fluffed up in fear, then let out an inquisitive yelp at her brother.
Did her brother just let that uninvited guest go like this? That couldn't be right, could it? When had her brother ever been such an easy - going person?
Hearing the little fox's yelp, Chu Hengyuan looked down at her. Seeing the confusion in her eyes, he smiled, bent down to put down the fruit knife, and then picked up the camera. "Of course I won't just let her go like this. But if I go after her, she'll definitely complain to my father. Although her complaints won't really achieve much, at most she'll ask my father for some compensation. To make sure she doesn't even get that, it's better for me not to take action myself."
There was still a lingering coldness in the man's eyes. Rong Lan suddenly wondered what he had done to that Mrs. Han in the past for her to be so scared.
Chu Hengyuan stopped the recording function of the camera and tossed it onto the sofa. Then he walked to the entrance to close the door. Fortunately, the door lock wasn't completely broken, so he could still close the door.
After closing the door, he righted the fallen chair, then returned to the living room. He bent down to pick up the little fox squatting on the ground and put her on the sofa. "Come on, Fairy Fox. Let's check if the video recorded by the camera is clear. If it's clear enough to show people's faces, I can make a phone call."
Make a phone call? To whom?
Rong Lan sighed. She had it so hard. She couldn't speak, or else she could just ask all her questions instead of having to wait for him to tell her.
Chu Hengyuan picked up the camera with one hand and the tablet with the other.
Rong Lan squatted closely beside his right hand, watching him transfer the video recorded by the camera to the tablet.
When the tablet showed "Transfer Complete", Rong Lan couldn't wait to poke the screen of the tablet with her paw, and the video started playing.
Chu Hengyuan turned to look at the little fox. If his hands weren't full, he would have definitely stroked her head. "Is Fairy Fox so eager to see if the video was filmed well?"
Rong Lan proudly raised her chin and ignored him.
She not only wanted to see if the video was filmed well, but also wanted to finish watching it quickly to see who her brother would call.
Chu Hengyuan was amused by the little fox's cute look. He helped her fast - forward the video. "The first twenty minutes waiting for the door to be broken in probably didn't capture anything. Let's just start from the back."
Rong Lan nodded her fox head and stared intently at the tablet screen.
It had to be said that the video recorded by the camera was extremely high - definition. It clearly showed the face of the uninvited guest when she entered the house. Although the camera didn't capture the scene of her talking with his brother later, it did record the voice, and the scene of Mrs. Han rushing out of the door was also captured.
After going through the video with the little fox, Chu Hengyuan knew what to do. "I can make the phone call now."
Rong Lan's fox ears twitched. She looked away expectantly and focused on the phone in his left hand.
Then she saw her brother dial his mother's phone number.
"???" Call mother? Was her brother going to complain like a little kid? Rong Lan was completely confused.
To let the little fox hear, Chu Hengyuan pressed the speakerphone button.
It took almost half a minute for the call to be answered.
"Hello? Hengyuan?" Zhen Rui, who was lying on the beauty salon bed, was just as confused as Rong Lan. She was thinking that Chu Hengyuan shouldn't be off work at this time. Did he call her because he wanted to skip work?
Chu Hengyuan got straight to the point, his tone slightly solemn. "Mother, I saw Mrs. Han Xiaoshuang."
When he called her "Mrs. Han" in front of Han Xiaoshuang, it was purely sarcastic. But in front of Zhen Rui, he used the normal address.
"Hmm?" Zhen Rui instinctively wanted to sit up, but then remembered that she was still getting a massage, so she gave up. "Han Xiaoshuang? Where did you see her?"
"At my house."
Zhen Rui was shocked by Chu Hengyuan's words. Before she could ask why he had run into that person at home, Chu Hengyuan continued to explain.
"I went home to get some documents and happened to catch Han Xiaoshuang breaking into my house. She said she came to steal documents."
Zhen Rui: "..." Was Han Xiaoshuang that unlucky? She had actually run into the rare situation of Chu Hengyuan being at home to get documents? "It seems that the news of you joining the Chu Group has spread, and some people can't sit still."
"Probably. But I didn't do anything to her. I just asked her a few questions."
Zhen Rui immediately understood what Chu Hengyuan meant. "You recorded a video?" After all, if he didn't take action on the spot, he must have had a backup plan, and a video was the most useful one.
"Yes. I'll sort out the video and send it to you, Mother." As he said this, Chu Hengyuan reached out to stroke the fox's head when the little fox wasn't looking.
The offended Fairy Fox rolled her eyes and slapped his hand with her paw, signaling him not to be so touchy - feely. She was a noble Fairy Fox, and he was just a kid complaining to his mother about something.
But—why complain to his mother? Mother should be the one who hated Han Xiaoshuang the most, but would it be useful to let mother know about this? Surely mother wouldn't go find Han Xiaoshuang and get into a fight with her?
It took Rong Lan two or three days to realize how effective her brother's complaint was.
