Ah Cai, having decided to leave Peach with Young Master Lan, was mostly sobered up.
He looked at Peach reluctantly, and emboldened by the alcohol, confessed many of the feelings he had kept bottled up.
He didn't know if Peach had been moved, but Ou Yunchen worried that Peach might harden her heart, decide to abort the child, and run away with Ah Cai.
Sister Lan: "I have something else to tell you."
Sister Lan pulled Ou Yunchen to the room where Colin was drunk. The room was in disarray, hinting at how wild their party had been before they arrived.
Sister Lan shook Colin, who was lying on the sofa.
Colin, eyes closed and reeking of alcohol, mumbled, "Come on, drink, my little beauty."
Sister Lan: "Ou Yunchen is here."
Colin seemed to have a switch flipped. He immediately opened his eyes, but only maintained composure for a few seconds before closing them again and falling asleep.
Sister Lan pulled out the suit jacket from under Colin's rear and felt around in the inner pocket.
Sister Lan: "Why isn't it here?"
Ou Yunchen: "Looking for what?"
Sister Lan: "What you wanted. Colin brought it back personally from m country. He said he wanted to give it to you in person. I distinctly remember him putting it in his jacket pocket."
Sister Lan searched again but still couldn't find it. Just then, Colin seemed to have heard them. He opened his eyes and grabbed Sister Lan's arm, startling her.
Colin: "I hid it."
Sister Lan: "Mr. Colin, where did you hide it?"
Colin grinned lecherously. He suddenly spread his legs, pressing Sister Lan's head down, forcing her to kneel before him.
Colin: "What were you and Ou Yunchen discussing behind my back?"
Sister Lan: "Nothing, what are you talking about?"
Colin: "I saw it. I saw it when I was peeing, in the corridor..."
Sister Lan was too scared to speak. She feared Colin would find out she had been using his influence to search for her sister...
Ou Yunchen, unaccustomed to perverted behavior, landed a punch. Colin truly passed out this time.
Sister Lan quickly got up to check on him. Poor Colin would surely have a black eye tomorrow morning. How could she explain that!
Sister Lan: "I'm dead tomorrow..."
Ou Yunchen: "When he wakes up tomorrow, tell him he was drunk and hit his head on a wall himself."
Sister Lan: "How could he possibly believe that!"
Saying that, Ou Yunchen grabbed Colin again and kicked him hard in the stomach.
Sister Lan covered her mouth, too shocked to make a sound. She rushed over to check if Colin was still unconscious.
Ou Yunchen: "This time, tell him he fell down the stairs."
Sister Lan: "You knocked him out, how are we supposed to know where he hid that thing!"
Ou Yunchen: "Untie his belt."
Sister Lan: "For what?"
Ou Yunchen pointed. Sister Lan seemed to understand and inwardly cursed this pervert.
As expected, the small USB drive was found in Colin's underwear.
Sister Lan: "Be careful when you use it."
Ou Yunchen nodded, squeezed Sister Lan's shoulder, and left.

Back in the car, Ou Yunchen thought he would just drive Ah Cai home. Little did he know, Ah Cai wanted to go to Athena.
Ah Cai: "Brother, drop me off at Athena and then you can go."
Ou Yunchen didn't know why Ah Cai wanted to go to Athena. He was surprised a few seconds ago, but then he thought, Ah Cai always acts impulsively when it comes to Peach...
He must know that Wang Ziran was drinking and partying there, and he intended to teach him a lesson.
Ou Yunchen: "Alright, I'll take you."
Ah Cai: "Brother, thank you today. Peach is the woman I like most. Even though she didn't choose me, I don't want to see her bullied."
Ou Yunchen just smiled, indicating it was nothing. He had been young too, he understood.
Ah Cai: "Brother, I owe you this favor. This has nothing to do with my father; it's between us brothers. If you ever need my help, Ah Cai, I'll definitely help you!"
Ou Yunchen had been waiting for these words from Ah Cai. Did he really think he was just being nice to an internet celebrity? He had his eye on Peach, who could be a stumbling block for the Wang family and also the fatal weakness that could tie Ah Cai down.
Ever since Ou Yunchen learned that Peach was pregnant with Wang Ziran's child, he had been convinced that keeping the child in Peach's womb would be valuable later on!
And Ah Cai, the infatuated lover, was definitely the fuse that would ignite a power struggle!
If Ou Yunchen, after Wang Ziran dared to confront him last time, stood by and took the blows, it would only weaken his influence.
Dealing with Wang Ziran, who had a powerful background, was not a matter of a day or two!
This was thanks to Peach's appearance, which had created a crack in the seemingly impenetrable wall. In the future, when Ou Yunchen swung his hammer, and Ah Cai, like a nail, drove into the crack, they would surely shatter the Wang family's power into dust!
