Chapter 28 Enigma

  The first floor living room, Zhang Yi looked at Lu Xiaotao's face with a mixture of laughter and tears. Just now, Yin had just finished speaking on his behalf, trying to set him up with a wife, and her innocent and naive appearance almost made him collapse from embarrassment.

  The more time Zhang Yi spent with Weiwei, the more he could feel her cleverness and intelligence.

  It's just!

  That cleverness often fills him with a sense of helplessness.

  "Lu Xiaotao, if you keep looking at me with that expression, believe it or not, I'll kick you out with one foot!" Zhang Yi was really fed up with Lu Xiaotao's adoring expression and blurted out in anger.

  Lu Xiaotao chuckled and said, "Well! Yi Ge, I now understand that you have a great strategy and wisdom in the aspect of flirting. You can utilize everything around you, every person, to ultimately perfect your unique and captivating charm."

  "Get out!"

  Zhang Yi scolded with a smile.

  Lu Xiaodao puffed out his chest and sidled up to Zhang Yi, his expression turning serious as he counted on his fingers: "Yi-ge, let's not talk about the distant past, just the recent events. You promised me you'd participate in the underground car racing championship, and after the test drive, we went to Xing-jie's repair shop for adjustments. Your car repair skills impressed me, and also impressed Xing-jie, right? Your racing skills even left Xing-jie stunned, still remembering it till now? Cao Shuang, Yue Yang, and I, the three of us as foils, made your image in Xing-jie's heart become even more impressive, didn't we?"

  "Besides, just now, Yin's innocent face, what she said should be childlike and innocent, right? But did you see that beautiful woman's shy appearance? It was so beautiful it was bursting. I dare to guarantee that Yin's words must have had an effect on her heart, at least. And left a seed in her heart, a mark. Who knows when this seed will take root and sprout, letting her discover that she has deeply fallen in love with you."

  "Moreover, you seem low-key, but in fact, every unintentional thing you do will cause a huge sensation. Whether it's saving people, doing good deeds, or treating illnesses, the results are always explosive; your posting of missing person notices is extremely popular; and even hooking up with Xiaoxian'er, the number one beauty on our school's 'Campus Flower Chart', has made you famous in our school; not to mention beautiful teacher Gu Xin Yue..."

  Zhang Yi stared blankly at Lu Xiaotao, who was counting on his fingers while speaking, and he seemed to have become stupid.

  What is Qi Pai?

  This is the most bizarre one among all the bizarre ones, a masterpiece of weirdness!

  Only a weirdo can come up with such a ridiculous argument!

  "Wait..."

  Zhang Yi suddenly woke up from his daze, interrupting Lu Xiaotao's words. He asked, "You just said that I hooked up with Meng Xianer, the number one on the 'School Flower Chart', in the school library, and my reputation soared?"

  Lu Xiaotao laughed and said, "Ah! Don't you know? Now in school, there are many second- and third-year seniors who have formed the 'Wolf Extermination Alliance', and that wolf is you. Hehe... Yi Ge, I dare say, among this year's freshmen in our school, the one with the most notorious reputation is undoubtedly you."

  Good news never goes beyond the gate, bad news travels for a thousand miles.

  Zhang Yi rolled his eyes in exasperation. He slumped against the soft sofa, listlessly humming: "Xiao Tao, do you know what I'm feeling right now?"

  Lu Xiaodao was taken aback and asked in confusion: "What feeling?"

  "God made a mistake, giving you a man's body but a woman's heart. Especially that mouth of yours, speaking human language to humans, ghostly language to ghosts, and yin-yang language to neither humans nor ghosts. My greatest feeling now is... being stuck in the sewer with bricks... only causing trouble for others."

  Lu Xiaodao rolled his eyes and gave Zhang Yi a big middle finger, then sat up straight and said seriously: "Let's talk business. Brother Yi, tomorrow night is the Champion Cup selection match, all drivers who want to participate in the Champion Cup must attend."

  "When does the game officially start?"

  "The day after tomorrow!"

  Zhang Yi nodded slowly, stood up and smiled: "I'll go find you tomorrow afternoon."

  Late afternoon

  Ruicheng Real Estate Company, General Manager's Office.

  "Jingkai, you're in such a hurry to find me, what's going on?"

  As Chu Zhongyang stepped into the house, his face was tired. He had just finished an operation and took out his phone to see more than a dozen unconnected calls from Xu Jingkai.

  Xu Jingkai walked out from behind his desk, forcing a smile as he said: "Older brother, let's sit down and talk about this!"

  Chu Zhongyang's eyes were filled with a bewildered expression as he looked at Xu Jingkai, who was smiling bitterly. He nodded silently and walked to the sofa on the far side and sat down.

  Xu Jingkai said, "Big brother, today I met with someone who asked us to immediately withdraw the missing person notice. This afternoon, I have contacted the newspaper and TV station to cancel that advertisement."

  Chu Zhongyang's face changed color, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice:

  "Who is it?"

  Xu Jingkai took a deep breath and began to speak: "At first, I didn't know who the other person was either. But after seeing her, I was shocked by her identity. She is Zhang Yi's mother, a middle-aged woman named Nifuren."

  Chu Zhongyang furrowed his brow and asked, "Even if it were Zhang Yi's mother, she couldn't scare you, could she?"

  Xu Jingkai helplessly said: "But if you knew, she is the behind-the-scenes big boss of Sizi Group, Galaxy Real Estate, Anfu Group, and Taiyang Island Group, you wouldn't say that! Moreover, these domestic industries are just small-time operations. She has been abroad in recent years, mainly operating businesses, which are probably all overseas."

  Chu Zhongyang suddenly stood up, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

  How is it possible?

  These four group companies are all listed companies. Although they are located in different provinces and cities, they are very famous domestically.

  They!

  How can it be an industry boss?

  Chu Zhongyang's heart was like a stormy sea, although he was a doctor, but in the domestic medical community, he still had some reputation, so many people he knew were also dignitaries, and he had a lot of hearsay about business circles.

  But!

  The news was so stunning that he, a man of steady temperament, felt his heart racing with excitement.

  Xu Jingkai looked at his elder brother's shocked expression and said with a bitter smile: "Brother, you didn't see the general manager of Si Zi Group, Chen Rui. He was extremely respectful to Mrs. Nian, not even daring to enter when I met her. We can't afford to provoke someone like that!"

  Chu Zhongyang took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and nodded slowly: "No wonder Zhang Yi didn't want that 100,000 yuan when he saved someone back then. His background is so profound that 100,000 yuan is not even pocket money to him. I understand now, let's cancel the missing person notice!"

  Xu Jingkai secretly let out a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his elder brother-in-law would refuse to cancel the missing person notice.

  "Big brother, Mrs. Ni promised to invest in and acquire my Rui City Real Estate Company, and at twice the market value. She plans to expand Rui City Real Estate Company, but I'm not sure how big it will be. However, she promised to give me an additional 10% of the company's shares and let me continue to manage the company as its general manager."

  Chu Zhongyang's expression was taken aback for a moment, and then a few smiles appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "This is good news, you've got a great deal."

  Xu Jingkai sighed: "Yes! Running a company on your own, taking risks, now making a big profit and still being able to continue operating, this is a great thing that benefits everyone without harming anyone."

  "Ding ding ding......"

  The landline phone on the desk suddenly rang.

  Xu Jingkai stood up and grabbed the microphone, asking in a low voice: "What's going on?"

  "Director Xu, there is someone in the first floor lobby who wants to see you. He claims to be the Dean of the Medical College of Jingnan University."

  Dean of the Medical College of Jiangnan University?

  What is he doing with himself?

  Xu Jingkai hesitated for a moment and said: "Let him come up!"

  He hung up the phone and turned his head to look at Chu Zhongyang, curiously saying: "Big brother, the dean of the Medical College of Jingnan University, you should know him? He came looking for me!"

  Chu Zhongyang was perplexed: "Lao Sun looking for you? That's strange, you shouldn't have any connection with him, should you?"

  Xu Jingkai shook his head and sighed: "There is no intersection at all."

  A few minutes later.

  Sun Shao Hua stepped into the office door and saw Chu Zhong Yang was also there, suddenly his expression changed, smiling and said: "Old Chu, how are you here too?"

  Chu Zhongyang walked up with a smile and said: "Jing Kai is my brother-in-law, why can't I be here? On the other hand, what are you doing running to this place?"

  Sun Shao Hua was taken aback, then smiled and turned to look at Xu Jing Kai, extending his hand for a handshake. "Director Xu, I'm so sorry to intrude on you like this, I hope you won't blame me. This time, I came to see you because someone asked me to, and I hope we can have a talk!"

  Entrusted by others?

  Xu Jingkai and Chu Zhongyang stared at each other, their eyes revealing a strange expression.

  "Director Sun, you're referring to... the missing person case?"

  Sun Shao-hua smiled and said, "That's right, it's about this matter. Because of that missing person notice, Zhang Yi was very dissatisfied, and once his identity is exposed, it will cause him a lot of unnecessary trouble and impact. So he wants to ask you to withdraw that missing person notice, and also asks me to convey that your kind intentions are appreciated, but there's no need for a face-to-face thank you."

  "I've already withdrawn the missing person notice." Xu Jingkai said.

  "Cancelled?"

  Sun Shao Hua's expression was stunned for a moment, and his eyes revealed a few shades of strangeness.

  Xu Jingkai furrowed his brow, puzzled: "Something's not right! Zhang Yi's mother has already looked for me, how come he entrusted you to find me again?"

  Sun Shao Hua was completely stunned and asked in confusion, "You're saying... Zhang Yi's mother has been looking for you? And asked you to take down that missing person notice?"

  Xu Jingkai nodded and said: "Yes!"

  Sun Shaohua said incredulously, "How is this possible? I've seen Zhang Yi's file, and in the family section of his profile, there was no information about his mother at all - it was completely blank. And above that, it was noted that he only had a father."

  PS: There will be another update around 10 o'clock, and another one at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night!
