"Oh, come on! Are these pointless things really worth discussing? How did I end up with such a troublesome guy like you?" Hai Yang shook his head, then suddenly turned serious. Looking Du Qianze straight in the eye, he said, "If you really get blacklisted, I won't be your agent anymore. I'm getting old, and I can't afford to manage someone like you again. I've saved up a bit over the years. If you ever want to open a shop or something, you better call me. I'll invest in you and quietly take a cut from behind the scenes."

"Alright." Du Qianze nodded seriously.

"Good. Now I feel better. Make me a bowl of noodles, will you? Chi Rui scared me so much I couldn't even eat breakfast." Hai Yang sighed dramatically as he flopped onto the sofa.

After cooking the noodles, Du Qianze brought them out and saw Hai Yang staring at his phone. As soon as he noticed Du Qianze, he turned and said, "Cai Ya just messaged me. She's going to the pet shop later and told you to go there as soon as possible."

"What for?" Du Qianze frowned. As far as he remembered, he hadn't had much contact with Cai Ya recently.

"I don't know, but she sounded really serious—like you pissed her off or something. You didn't offend her, did you? Cai Ya's pretty powerful. You really don't want to get on her bad side." Hai Yang mumbled as he ate.

"Probably not," Du Qianze replied, shaking his head. He couldn't think of anything he'd done to upset Cai Ya, but since she had called for him, he had no choice but to go. After Hai Yang finished eating, the two of them headed to the pet shop together.

"Idol! Idol! Hurry up and go inside! Sister Cai Ya is in such a bad mood today. My brother isn't here right now, so you have to deal with her first." Fang Yue grabbed Du Qianze the moment he walked in, pulling him toward the lounge and shoving him inside.

Inside the lounge, Du Qianze saw Cai Ya sitting on the sofa, her expression dark. Beside her, Ting Shan also looked uneasy. For a moment, he was completely confused about what was going on.

"A few days ago, Da Fei brought something home. I'm sure you've seen it. Care to explain?" Cai Ya asked, taking a piece of paper from her bag and handing it to Du Qianze.

He took it and, to his surprise, saw that it was the same information they had gathered on Hua Ziyi—detailing how she had abused animals. He had assumed the female cat had taken the documents to build a nest, so he hadn't thought much about it.

But it turned out Da Fei had stolen a copy!

Du Qianze's heart sank. He wasn't very familiar with Cai Ya, and telling her about this would be risky. However, since she already had the information, it seemed he had no choice.

Forcing a smile, he said hesitantly, "Sister Cai Ya, how can you be so sure Da Fei took this from the pet shop? Maybe it just picked it up somewhere outside."

Cai Ya rolled her eyes. "At a time like this, and you're still trying to fool me?" She then turned to Ting Shan. "You explain."

"Oh." Ting Shan straightened up, faced Du Qianze, and said, "Here's the thing. Da Fei may run around outside a lot, but it never brings back anything except a few bugs once in a while. So if you're telling me it didn't take this from the pet shop, I wouldn't believe it even if you threatened to kill me."

"Are you that sure?" Du Qianze asked with a wry smile.

Cai Ya gave him a knowing smirk. "What do you think?"

Du Qianze hesitated. There was no avoiding this. He might as well take a gamble—after all, Cai Ya and Ting Shan had good reputations. They weren't the type to snitch.

"Fine. This information really was taken from the pet shop by Da Fei. Sister Cai Ya, do you want to see the full report?"

"Of course. Show me." Cai Ya responded without hesitation.

Du Qianze retrieved the files from Fang Yue and handed them to her.

As Cai Ya and Ting Shan flipped through the pages, Cai Ya suddenly pulled out a tissue from her bag to wipe her eyes. She was clearly crying.

By the time she finished reading, her eyes were red and swollen. In a choked voice, she asked, "The Hua Ziyi in this report... is it the same Hua Ziyi we know?"

Du Qianze nodded.

"F*ck," Cai Ya muttered, gritting her teeth. "How does a scumbag like him even deserve to live in society?"

Her outburst shocked both Du Qianze and Ting Shan—Cai Ya, an intellectual woman, actually swearing?

Seeing their stunned expressions, she snapped, "What? Even rabbits bite when they're pissed off. Can't I curse when I'm angry?"

"Yes, yes, Sister Cai Ya swears well." Du Qianze quickly agreed, carefully taking the tablet from her hands. He sighed. "After I showed this video to Sister Sui Yuan, she smashed the computer on the spot."

That wasn't an exaggeration. When Sui Yuan had watched the video, she had slammed her hand against the screen so hard that it cracked. When Fang Yi later took it for repairs, the technician said the damage was too severe—the entire screen had to be replaced.

Cai Ya frowned. "Sister Sui Yuan knew about this too?"

"Yeah, she knows." Du Qianze nodded and then mentioned Peanut. "You've seen Peanut before, right? Naima found him near the crew. He had been abused in a hotel. It was because of Peanut that we started suspecting Hua Ziyi. Since Sister Sui Yuan often visited the crew, she knew about Peanut's condition. So after investigating, we told her everything about Hua Ziyi."

"That makes sense," Cai Ya murmured. She hadn't realized that Du Qianze even knew Sui Yuan. Even though Sui Yuan had retired, she was still on a completely different level from Du Qianze. It was surprising that he had been able to show her this evidence. But thinking about it, it did add up.

Suddenly, her expression changed. "Peanut..." She quickly recalled the severely injured cat. "That's the one Da Fei called a cripple, right? Has its wound healed? Don't tell me Hua Ziyi was behind that too?"

The files had made her sad, but Peanut's suffering made her heart ache.

"Yeah," Du Qianze confirmed.

"Take me to see Peanut. I haven't seen it in a long time. I want to know how it is doing." Cai Ya wiped the fresh tears from her eyes.

Du Qianze smiled slightly. "Peanut has recovered well. Now, Melon Seed takes it out to sunbathe every day and even steals food for it. It is doing great." He stood up, gesturing for them to follow.

As they walked out, Ting Shan deliberately lagged behind and nudged Hai Yang. "Hey, don't you think Sister Cai Ya is acting weird? It's like she's possessed or something. She cried twice today—I've never seen her cry before."

Hai Yang rolled his eyes. "And you're one to talk? Don't think I didn't notice your eyes turning red while reading the report. You almost cried too."
