Chapter 539: Chapter 539

Liu Zhizhong called out, "Master," and pointed at his phone screen.

"Hey, Master, it's locked. How do I unlock it?"

Xiang Wenxin beckoned with a hooked finger. "Come here, I'll unlock it for you."

Only then did Liu Zhizhong approach Xiang Wenxin with his phone, still maintaining a cautious distance of two meters.

Then, he aimed the screen of the phone directly at Xiang Wenxin's face, and it unlocked immediately.

He remembered that Xiang Wenxin's phone used facial recognition unlocking.

As soon as it unlocked, he immediately sprang back on high alert.

At this move, Xiang Wenxin was amused yet exasperated; she had planned to use the moment of unlocking the phone to give him a little surprise.

Who would have known this guy was so shrewd!

Once Liu Zhizhong felt safe, he eagerly started reading the content on the screen.

At a glance, he was both delighted and worried, sigh.

The subordinates of Xiang Wenxin were indeed competent.

They had been staking out the neighborhood where Zhang Huazhi used to live, lying in wait for Ma Qingqing!

Sure enough, around noon, they had results.

Ma Qingqing had indeed gone there, inquiring about her mother from years past, when she was spotted by the Xiang family's people.

However, she was somewhat weak and fainted while talking.

The Xiang family's people quickly called for an ambulance and took her to the best private hospital in Rong City—Putian Hospital.

Afterward, they reported the incident to Xiang Wenxin.

The hospital's diagnosis showed that Ma Qingqing didn't have much time left, at most a month. Unless they found the most suitable blood-relative bone marrow transplant match, there was no hope.

Liu Zhizhong's delight, of course, was in his own judgment—that Ma Qingqing had indeed come.

His worry was about the medical archives from nearly twenty years ago in Rong City Hospital. The Xiang family had already begun searching, one by one, and still there was no news.

After all, mix-ups of babies were too common back then in Rong City. Some mix-ups were deliberate, even leaving no records.

Back then, medical surrogacy, kidnapping, and other incidents were rampant in Rong City. There were too many economic interests and disputes involved. So many years have passed, some of the doctors might have even passed away!

While Liu Zhizhong was lost in thought, Xiang Wenxin slapped him hard from behind, making a loud smack.

"You dead man, did I finally get you this time?"

Liu Zhizhong exclaimed in surprise as his phone, struck by the force of Xiang Wenxin's blow, flew from his hands and shattered on the rocky ground.

Xiang Wenxin was dumbstruck on the spot, her face a mix of collapse and frenzy, pointing at Liu Zhizhong's nose, wanting to scold him.

But Liu Zhizhong innocently interjected, "Master, how is this my fault? It was clearly you who wanted to hit me, hey... I'll compensate you, okay? I'll get you a brand-new one as soon as I get down the mountain, isn't that even better?"

Xiang Wenxin gritted her teeth and nodded, stamping her foot. "Hmph! That's more like it! Pick up the pieces now. I still need the storage card. All the data is on there. If you lose it, I'll skin you!"

Liu Zhizhong quickly tidied up and followed Xiang Wenxin to the cable car station.

After all, they had found Ma Qingqing, so they had to hurry down the mountain, right?

But Xiang Wenxin didn't head to the cable car station; she just walked in that direction.

Liu Zhizhong was very frustrated because halfway through, she took a turn towards a restaurant for a meal.

Liu Zhizhong had no choice but to accompany her to the restaurant, but all along the way, he said, "Master, shouldn't we eat after we go down the mountain?"

Xiang Wenxin shot him a look. "It seems you're more concerned about Ma Qingqing, that pitiful little beauty. You don't need food now, do you? When lust strikes, appetite disappears?"

"You... " Liu Zhizhong was perplexed, unable to believe she would speak so bluntly.

"What's the use of rushing now? Your haste won't change that she's lying in a hospital bed with the best medical care. Are you planning to go there to sleep with her? Young man, you need to prioritize and not rush into things..."

Xiang Wenxin lectured him at length, with utter seriousness.

Liu Zhizhong couldn't help but laugh and cry, but nonetheless followed her. Guided by the tourist signs, they swiftly arrived at the Phoenix Head Peak on Feng Mountain summit.

That place was not only the best spot to watch the sunrise on Feng Mountain but also the site of the Longfeng Nest Five-star Tourist Hotel's Feng Mountain branch.

For Xiang Wenxin, having lunch in her own hotel was a matter of course.

Upon walking in, headed straight for the main dining room, she teased Liu Zhizhong, "Familiar with this place, aren't you? Someone claimed to be so capable last night, splashing out 100,000 in no time, not shortchanging a woman a single dime, heh heh..."

Damn it... Liu Zhizhong was frustrated. Sure enough, she was bringing up that embarrassing incident again, sigh...

After lunch, with Xiang Wenxin's phone broken, naturally, Liu Zhizhong had to foot the bill.

After sorting that out, Liu Zhizhong said, "Shall I reserve the cable car ticket for going down the mountain now?"

"What's the rush? Come on, let's book a room; I want to take a nap before descending the mountain."

He pondered for a moment, "Do you also want to take a bath? You're soaked through again, from the inside out, aren't you?" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
