Having agreed to send someone to Qin Ruojing, Qin Ruoying as a bodyguard, Chu Ge, Chen Jue, and Bao Zhanhai chatted a bit more before ending the meal.

When they left Papas Hotel, Chen Jue noticed that Chu Ge hadn't brought his car, so he invited Chu Ge to ride in his Phaeton, which Chu Ge accepted without hesitation, thinking it was a good opportunity for them to get acquainted.

They dropped Chu Ge off downstairs, and the three parted ways.

Chen Jue watched Chu Ge enter the building, then leaned back lazily in the passenger seat of the Phaeton, exhaling a long breath, a satisfied smile curling on his lips, even breaking into song.

Bao Zhanhai was about to drive off, when he heard Chen Jue singing, he was caught off guard, doubting his ears. He sneaked a glance at Chen Jue, surprised to see him so candid, even a little smug.

"If you want to look, look openly; what's with the sneaky peeking? Do you think my singing is terrible?"

Chen Jue stretched lazily, looking at Bao Zhanhai with a proud, teasing smile, "Even if it's terrible, bear with it. I'm happy today, really happy! I haven't been this happy in ages! Hahaha!"

Bao Zhanhai's mouth twitched twice, my god, is this the Third Lord? The always composed, ever-gentlemanly Third Lord? He looks just like a child now!

Seeing Bao Zhanhai's wide-eyed look, Chen Jue patted his shoulder, "Zhanhai, today you really opened my eyes, seriously. I have to say I admire your idea, how did I not think of that?"

"Third Lord, don't tease me. It was just a random thought."

Chen Jue burped, laughing more playfully, "Oh? Being modest now?"

Faced with this side of Chen Jue, Bao Zhanhai was truly at a loss for words, but he couldn't help but voice his confusion.

"Third Lord, when we talked about money earlier, why were you so insistent? Aren't you afraid it might create awkward tension?"

Chen Jue shook his head, "Hehe, no, it wouldn't. Chu Ge is loyal. Even if I persist, he would eventually compromise. Plus, only this way could I appear unique to him, making him feel he owes me a favor, which is worth its weight in gold..."

Hearing Chen Jue say this, Bao Zhanhai's confusion turned into puzzlement, "Then, didn't I just mess things up for you?"

Chen Jue waved it off, "No, not at all. This time, you didn't cause trouble, you helped me a lot! Honestly, you are more suitable to deal with Chu Ge than I am. I'm a bit envious of your nature now."

Bao Zhanhai chuckled awkwardly, "Third Lord, the more I listen, the more confused I become. What's going on, just tell me plainly."

Chen Jue laughed heartily for a while before explaining to Bao Zhanhai.

"You're right about him. He is exactly as you described—ruthless, arrogant, loyal, and somewhat unscrupulous..."

Pausing, Bao Zhanhai scratched his head, "Well, I can't say much more; I haven't really interacted much with him yet, just these impressions."

"Hahaha! Well said! Zhanhai, why didn't I notice before how eloquent you are?"

Chen Jue laughed heartily, giving a proper explanation after a good laugh.

"You hit the nail on the head. He's like that because he's strong enough. As a strong person, naturally, he's surrounded by people who flatter him. When dealing with someone like him, there's no need to ingratiate oneself. Just being genuine is enough, which is why you are easier to get along with him than I am."

"Moreover, although your idea differed from my original plan, the outcome is undoubtedly better. Think about it, if he trains our guys, he officially enters our circle. If a few brothers get along well with him, then won't he be closer to us?"

"Hehe... Do you know why Chen Yujie and I have such a good relationship? It's because I meet his needs without always taking his word, relating to him as a brother. But Chen Yujie is just from a strong family background; he's personally a playboy, whereas Chu Ge has a background we cannot fathom, and he is definitely a capable person on his own."

On a usual day, Chen Jue wouldn't discuss his thoughts with Bao Zhanhai at length, but he was truly happy today, so he decided to answer Bao Zhanhai's questions candidly.

Bao Zhanhai finally understood; there was indeed a lot behind this.

He always thought that being genuine was almost like being simple-minded in today's world, wanting to be a smart person like Chen Jue. Unexpectedly, his genuineness today helped Chen Jue greatly.

Seizing Chen Jue's good mood, Bao Zhanhai opened up, asking another question that puzzled him.

"Third Master, what's going on with Lin Gaoze? Chu Ge disgraced him so badly, yet he still has the nerve to stay in the private room without leaving? And his attitude has made a complete 180-degree shift?"

Chen Jue sighed lightly, "Well... to be honest, I'm a bit puzzled too. The only thing I can be sure of is that Chu Ge's harsh words towards Lin Gaoze were not without purpose; they should contain meanings that can deeply impact Lin Gaoze."

"Hah?" Bao Zhanhai felt a bit at a loss, even though he trusted Chen Jue, he found this statement somewhat unreliable.

"Third Master, maybe... perhaps you're overthinking this? He was always talking about his wife, how could that be a jab at Lin Gaoze?"

Chen Jue chuckled lightly, "You can't judge someone like Chu Ge with conventional thinking. If he says something, there must be a reason behind it. Perhaps..."

At this point, Chen Jue suddenly paused, furrowing his brows slightly, and muttered to himself, "I think I understand now, so that's how it is."

Bao Zhanhai was ready to drive when he heard this and his curiosity piqued again, "Third Master, what did you figure out?"

"Do you remember when the Long Family's villa was taken down, a female cop named Mu Lingshan appeared on TV?"

"Yes, I remember, and then?"

Bao Zhanhai was speechless; how could Chen Jue's train of thought jump around so much? They were just talking about Chu Ge's wife, how did it shift to that female cop?

"That female cop said on TV that the incident was actually orchestrated by Chu Ge, didn't she?"

"Yes." Bao Zhanhai still didn't see the connection between this and Chu Ge's remarks about Lin Gaoze.

"You probably don't know this, but after she made that explosive statement, not only was she not punished, but she also got promoted. She's now Lin Gaoze's deputy, jumping from a low-ranking officer to deputy captain of the city's criminal investigation team."

Bao Zhanhai was initially stunned, as he hadn't heard about this, then he sneered dismissively, "Did she sleep with some big leader?"

Chen Jue scoffed, looking at Bao Zhanhai in disbelief.

"You're thinking too simply. This isn't something that sleeping with a leader can solve, especially at that critical moment. Which leader would dare mess with such bad luck?"

"Even if some foolish jerk blinded by lust dared to try, it's not something city leaders can handle easily! This means Mu Lingshan must have extremely powerful backing, at least from the provincial level!"

"And this is something you better not let Chu Ge hear, otherwise I might have to visit you in the hospital."

"Third Master? Are you suggesting... that female cop is also Chu Ge's woman?"

"I'm just speculating, but it seems highly likely. That's probably why Chu Ge keeps mentioning his wife in front of Lin Gaoze—to signal that just because he's married doesn't mean he's insignificant in front of that female cop, and Lin Gaoze better not give him attitude."

"The latter part is simpler. Chu Ge is making it clear to Lin Gaoze that, once he steps out of that door, even if they fall out, he'll settle any scores between them meticulously and without mercy!"

Bao Zhanhai was completely dumbfounded. Chen Jue could deduce such a logical analysis from a few short sentences? What kind of brain could do that?

What shocked him even more was that if Chen Jue's analysis was correct, then Chu Ge's capabilities were truly extraordinary, not only did he possess superhuman skills, but his prowess with women was also something that made him feel utter admiration!

It wasn't just Bao Zhanhai who was stunned. As Chen Jue sorted through these thoughts, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. Someone as unfathomable as Chu Ge was so loyal to him, and being able to work for Chu Ge was truly his honor!

Chen Jue took a slow breath, turning to look at the still dumbfounded Bao Zhanhai.

"Zhanhai, call now and pick a batch of skilled and sharp brothers, divide them into two or three shifts, and ensure Chu Ge's wife and sister-in-law's safety 24/7, no suspicious individuals should approach the sisters. You don't need to follow me for now, just focus on this matter and these people."

"Got it!" Sensing the seriousness in Chen Jue's tone, Bao Zhanhai immediately agreed. As he picked up the phone, he suddenly realized a problem, "Third Master, what about the arrest? Are we leaving it all to Lin Gaoze?"

Chen Jue smiled confidently, "Of course we'll take care of it! And we aim to catch the people who tampered with Chu Ge's car before the police do. This will be an opportunity for Captain Lin to see our capabilities, only then can he reevaluate us and future cooperation can be pleasant! I'll personally handle this matter!"

Hearing Chen Jue say this, Bao Zhanhai couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement because on Chen Jue's ever-calm face, there now appeared a fervent determination.
