  Section 17, somewhat confused

  Ye Qiu took a sip of the Longjing tea that Tang Bu Yi had brewed for him and thought to himself: This tea is probably not cheap. However, its flavor still can't compare to the Baika tea he and Old Man personally picked and dried. Moreover, in terms of medicinal effects, it's far inferior. Traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, but how many people these days truly understand its essence?

  Tang Bu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and he found that although Ye Qiu's attire was somewhat rustic, when he picked up the teacup to drink tea, he had a certain elegance, or rather, an extraordinary temperament. It was as if he were a master who had been immersed in the art of tea for many years, with a demeanor that was full of flair and sophistication.

  "Tang Shu." Ye Qiu looked up and saw Tang Bu Yi holding a cup and staring at her, reminding her in a soft voice.

  "Ah, haha, just thinking about some things." Tang Bu Yi took a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment. "Don't laugh at me, Ye Xiao Di, but Guo Guo is my most precious daughter. Someone has repeatedly made moves on her, and it really makes me furious. Since the first kidnapping incident occurred, I've had Wang Bo arrange for someone to investigate. Of course, temporarily there aren't any important clues yet. However, there are two people who have the most motive for the crime."

  "One of them is Jin Hai Li, the boss of Jin Hai Real Estate. Due to the crowded population, the Yanjing urban area will also expand outward, and in the new planning scheme, Langshan will be made into a villa area."

  "Wolf Mountain? The place where the racing was held last night?" Ye Qiu heard this familiar name and felt a bit puzzled. He remembered that Shen Mo had introduced him to this place yesterday, expressing great disgust for it, saying that there were fights every day, violent clashes every week, and deaths every month - how could they want to develop this land?

  "Yes. In the past, it was a notorious area with frequent casualties, and no one wanted to develop it even if they were given money for free. But as soon as the new planning map came out, that place became a piece of fragrant cake. Tangshi Group's subsidiary Green City Real Estate and Jinhai Group both participated in the bidding for that 300-acre land, and in terms of company strength and background, the two companies are evenly matched. So, I suspect that Jinhai Li wants to kidnap Guo Guo to force me to give up competing for that land. This isn't the first time he's done something like this."

  "Is there another suspicious target?" Ye Qiu wrote down Jin Haili's name and asked aloud.

  "There's another person, but never mind. He's my old rival, and you don't need to know about him for now. I'm also afraid that if you provoke him, it won't be good for your safety. Ye Qiu, please take care of Guo Guo's safety. She'll be starting school in a few days and will be majoring in Financial Management at Shui Mu University... Haha, it seems like I can rely on her to take over the family business after all. And she hasn't disappointed me, showing great talent for commerce. Can't tell, right?"

  Ye Qiu shook his head. He really couldn't imagine that arrogant woman would understand anything about business management.

  "Haha, you'll get used to it after a while. By the way, I've already spoken to the vice president about your student status issue. Take a look at what major you're interested in."

  "Me?" Ye Qiu's face was full of confusion.

  "Yes, you will be attending school with Guo Guo. Oh, and Bao Er will also be joining you both at Shui Mu University's computer science program. She is a computer genius, the new generation representative of the Lin family, who was specially admitted to Shui Mu University at the age of 16. Actually, it's not her first time being specially admitted, she just didn't want to go to school alone before. This time Guo Guo is going to attend Shui Mu, so she's willing to come and study too. As for her personality... it's similar to Guo Guo's, a bit of a handful. However, if you can establish some level of friendship with her, it will be very beneficial for your future."

  Ye Qiu was stunned. The girl named 'Cute Little Belly' in WOW was a computer genius?

  These days, talented people are really not worth much. Apart from myself being useless, there are three of us living in this house.

  "I hope you'll study finance, the same major as Guo Guo. On one hand, it's convenient for you to take care of her. On the other hand, I also hope that in the future, you can have a more decent job. As long as you're not ashamed, after graduation, the doors of the Tang Corporation will be wide open for you. This time, I had no choice but to ask Old Ye to step in and inconvenience you by having you work as a bodyguard for a few days. But this isn't a long-term plan."

  "Why are you treating me like this?" Ye Qiu grasped his cup, looking at Tang Bu Yi with a calm expression. This was indeed the question he had been wanting to ask all along. Tang Bu Yi's attitude towards him was really somewhat... overly polite.

  "Haha, this is to be expected. Don't mention such a small matter, even if Old Ye asked me to give the Tang Corporation to you, I wouldn't have any reason to refuse." Although Tang Bu Yi was smiling, his face showed a resolute and unyielding expression.

  "Is Ye Lao? Our family's old man?"

  Tang Bu Yi smiled wryly. "Ye Lao is indeed an old man as you said. Of course, it's only you who dares to call him that."

  Ye Qiu nodded and didn't dwell on the issue anymore. When leaving, Lao Touzi didn't say anything, and Tang Bu Yi also didn't mention it. It's better to leave it for himself to figure out later.

  "I want to study archaeology," said Ye Qiu.

  "Archaeology?" Tang Bu Yi looked at Ye Qiu in surprise. "How did you think of learning this? It's a very niche field."

  "Hobby." Ye Qiu smiled. He wanted to unravel the mystery of the Soul Hook. Maybe he could find some clues from this profession.

  Tang Bu Yi thought for a moment and said: "Alright. Since you like it, I won't force you either. But can you promise me one thing?"

  "Uncle Tang, don't be polite, just give me any orders." Ye Qiu nodded and said.

  "Before I find out who the kidnapper is, you stay by Guo Guo's side as much as possible." Tang Bu Yi also didn't mince words, his face sincere as he made his request.

  "I'll go."

  "That's good. Don't worry, it won't be too long. However... - you chose archaeology, should we give Old Ye a heads up?" Tang Bu Yi said with a difficult expression. He had originally wanted to help Old Ye make some arrangements for the future, but he had chosen such a profession, so how would things work out on Old Ye's side?

  "It's okay, I can handle it myself." Ye Qiu said calmly. His tone didn't allow for any questioning or refutation.

  "Haha, okay then. Why don't you change into some new clothes? School is about to start and it's best if you dress properly. The card that Uncle Wang gave you can be overdrawn up to one million. If the money isn't enough, contact Uncle Wang again. He'll take care of these things."

  One million?! This time it was Ye Qiu's turn to be shocked. He had thought that at most it would be thirty or fifty thousand, and he hadn't expected Tang Bu Xiyi to be so generous with himself.

  That old man's face is really not small. But since that's the case, why did I only give 600 yuan when I went out? And also patted my own shoulder and said that it's hard to make money during the financial crisis, and told me to save some money.

  My goodness. This stingy old man.

  "This time I went out just for shopping. But I'm a bit worried about Miss Tang's safety, so I came over to understand the situation." Ye Qiu said with a smile. Since someone gave him one million, he should speak nicely anyway.

  Tang Bu Yi heard Ye Qiu's concern for his daughter's safety and was overjoyed, smiling as he said: "Ye Qiu, don't be too polite. You and Guo Guo are about the same age, so stop calling her Miss Tang. Just call her Guo Guo."

  "Uh-huh." Ye Qiu responded perfunctorily. Guagua? He really couldn't bring himself to say it.

  "You're here to ask about the kidnapping? You won't be taking the initiative to find them, will you? Ye Qiu, I know you're very capable. But please don't act rashly. A hero can't withstand a crowd. If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to Old Ye." Tang Bu Yi warned.

  "I understand." Ye Qiu said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.
