Chapter 495: Chapter 495

"Mr. Xuan, I really wouldn't dare think that way!"

Liu Zhizhong was indeed struck by Qian Xuan's insight into his thoughts, but he immediately denied it, "Actually, I was thinking, if Mr. Xuan could lend a hand, that would be even better. Because the current situation is that the company's reception phone has received many clues."

"Some people saw Ma Qingqing in Huang Mountain, some saw her in Taishan, and some also saw her in the Inner Mongolia Prairie. Others saw her heading to Hua Mountain, and yet others saw her at the Great Wall..." The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥

"What can these pieces of information tell us? She's traversing the entire world, in the last moments of her life, feasting her eyes on the homeland's mountains and rivers, leaving no regrets..."

"I'll base the next piece on these clues, as well as the information acquired from Secretary Ma and title it 'The Call of Love', to see if it can expedite the search for her. At the same time, could it also help in the search for Secretary Ma's biological child?"

"But the power of the internet is limited. It's nowhere near Mr. Xuan's kind of influence, after all... heh heh..."

Speaking to this point, Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but smile meaningfully.

"What are you 'heh heh'-ing at? So profound!" Qian Xuan asked with great interest.

Liu Zhizhong replied: "The Qian family has a powerful presence in both Hu Yang and Yunxi Provinces. The layout of your estate, I only figured it out that day..."

Liu Zhizhong did not conceal it any further, sharing everything one by one.

Hearing this, Luo Shuxiu was secretly astonished and proud. Her man was truly impressive. She had been unaware of the estate's layout, and her husband had never mentioned it.

Qian Xudou applauded, clapping his hands in appreciation, "Well done, Liu Zhizhong, you really cracked the feng shui layout! Come on, guess what color underwear I'm wearing today."

Liu Zhizhong managed a wry smile, "Mr. Xuan, you're really putting me on the spot, alright? Can I opt not to guess?"

"You don't have to guess," Qian Xuan said with an unconcerned air. "However, your observational skills are truly impressive, I'll give you that. But if you were going somewhere else, I might consider offering you some help. If it's Ningnan Province we're talking about, though..."

Qian Xuan's brow furrowed slightly, as if contemplating something. He then took a sip of his tea and nibbled on a piece of crisply baked handmade cookie before saying, "I can make a phone call, ask a friend over there to receive you, but it won't be of much help. If you really want to make a difference, I'm afraid you'll need to seek out someone who might be able to offer substantial assistance."

"Oh? Who might that be?" Liu Zhizhong asked eagerly, but he understood in his heart that the Qian family's influence didn't extend to the South, at least not Ningnan Province.

"Feng Xiaoyue, you know her, don't you?"

"Uh..." Liu Zhizhong was startled, "Mr. Xuan, are you referring to Director Feng?"

"Yes, that's her, it's her..."

Saying so, the smile on Qian Xuan's face became somewhat loaded with implication, "You two have been collaborating for so long, haven't you sparked something by now?"

Liu Zhizhong was taken aback and said, "Mr. Xuan, there's nothing but professionalism between Director Feng and me, it's not what you think!"

Of course, Luo Shuxiu was also curious, looking at Liu Zhizhong. With her beloved man being so outstanding, wouldn't Feng Xiaoyue feel a stir? Even when faced with gossip, Luo Shuxiu, a wealthy lady, couldn't resist a little interest.

But at this moment, she could see that Liu Zhizhong was indeed innocent.

Qian Xuan joked, "Whether you're pure or not, only you know in your hearts. As for the Ningnan matter, seek out Feng Xiaoyue; she should be able to find a way. Indeed, in Hu Yang Province and Yunxi, if you come to me, I can still pull some strings."

He was quite sincere, not boasting at all.

Generally speaking, when young people brag about their greatness, it's mostly just a lot of hot air.

Someone like Qian Xuan, who's upfront and tells it like it is, is the real deal.

Liu Zhizhong immediately expressed his thanks, and took the opportunity to query, "Mr. Xuan, according to you, what sort of influence does Director Feng have? Does it really extend to Ningnan Province?"

Qian Xuan smiled nonchalantly, "Why ask so many questions? They're not of much relevance to you right now. Besides, if you manage to get her into bed, you can ask her anything, right?"

"I mean... Your words... Gosh..."

Liu Zhizhong was somewhat disheartened.

Yet, Luo Shuxiu couldn't help but giggle, her pursed lips exuding grace and charm, but she remained mostly silent, just listening - her demeanor ever so gentle and dignified, increasingly embodying the aura of a wealthy lady.

"Heh, don't take it too seriously, I'm just joking. If you truly slept with Feng Xiaoyue, I'm afraid someone would castrate you, and I couldn't save you, haha..."

Liu Zhizhong could only laugh, an awkward laughter.

That very evening, Qian Xuan still had him over for dinner before letting him leave.

Sitting in the car driven by Xu Jiao, with Shi Jing in the passenger seat, Liu Zhizhong pondered in the back seat about how to produce a new piece, drafting it in his mind.

And on the way, he sent a message, wanting to meet with Feng Xiaoyue the following morning to discuss the new piece, indicating that the draft would be refined that evening.

After receiving a positive response from Feng Xiaoyue, Liu Zhizhong's heart was filled with hope.

But he didn't expect that at this moment, Qian Xuan, for reasons unknown, released an earth-shattering piece of news, leaving Liu Zhizhong utterly dumbfounded...
