White Tiger immediately took out his phone, his fingers moving lightning fast, and he swiftly photoshopped and produced a photo. “Add me on WeChat, quick. I’ll send you the photo.”
Yun Liu instantly did as told and sent the photo to Shi Gao. White Tiger took Yun Liu’s phone and removed all traces of the photo’s transmission path, turning it into one taken by Yun Liu herself. Yun Liu was dumbfounded as she watched it all.
White Tiger heaved a sigh of relief after everything was done and said sincerely, “Thank you, Miss Yun.”
Yun Liu smiled gently. “I’m glad to be of help to the Shi brothers.”
White Tiger inwardly sighed, ‘Favor is a debt hardest to pay. How are we supposed to repay her for this?
Yun Liu suppressed the excitement in her heart, thinking, ‘This truly is a God-given opportunity! I can already see the Shi familys door slowly opening to me.’
While Shi Nian was intensively hunting and clearing out the spies in the troop, Yun Nan and the two special assistants, Chang Yuan and Chen Nian, were meticulously searching for clues by following the route that Xiang Yang took on the day she disappeared.
Chen Nian had been by Gu Bei’s side for many years as the Gu couple tried to track down their missing daughter, and thus had his own methods of tracking down those dark networks and dirty dealings, whereas Chang Yuan could obtain internal information from the police and the military through Shi Ke and Shi Nian’s connections. It wasn’t difficult for them to track someone down; they just needed time.
Yun Nan closed her eyes and thought carefully about Xiang Yang’s past. Xiang Yang was most reluctant to talk about her past, and the only person who knew Xiang Yang’s past and was very hostile to her was Shi Gao.
Yun Nan immediately put her thoughts into action. “Chang Yuan, help me investigate Shi Gao! I want to know where she has been these past few days and if there’s anyone suspicious around her.” Yun Nan wasn’t sure if Shi Gao was involved, but she didn’t have time to analyze it in detail; she couldn’t let go of anyone suspicious.
“Alright!” Chang Yuan didn’t ask why and just followed her instructions. Every minute is precious right now; there’s no need to waste it on unnecessary things. A few hours later, Chang Yuan handed Yun Nan a thick stack of information and asked solemnly, “Yun Nan, what made you suspect Shi Gao?”
Yun Nan didn’t give him an answer and directly inquired, “Is there any news on
Xiang Yang?”
Chang Yuan shook his head. “No, but I found out that there’s a mysterious organization behind Shi Gao. This organization has close connections with those in the military. Moreover, the ones that attacked the Shi Corporation are also related to them.”
Yun Nan narrowed her eyes. ‘It seems like Tm on the right track.’ She asked,
“Did Xiang Yang meet Shi Gao in the past few days since she returned?”
Chang Yuan again shook his head. “No, only the family knows about her return this time,” he paused, “as well as Lin Yu!”
Yun Nan looked up and met Chang Yuan’s eyes. ‘Lin Yu and Shi Gao are friends.
Ifshe knew, then Shi Gao would definitely know!’ Yun Nan took a deep breath. “I’ll go visit Auntie Han Yuan and meet Lin Yu! ”
Chen Nian knocked on the office door, entered, and straightforwardly reported, “We tracked the car that Xiang Yang might’ve been in. It was last seen in the Ning village area in the western suburbs!”
Chang Yuan straight away replied, “Ning Village! That’s a combination of urban and rural areas. Someone came to us to discuss a development plan for that land at the beginning of the year. Currently, it’s an unsupervised area filled with a mixed bunch of people. It’s a good place to hide someone.”
Chen Nian nodded. ‘My lady, this matter may have something to do with the people attacking the Shi Corporation. There are a lot of outsiders coming to Rong City these days, all well-known figures in the business world, as well as several groups of overseas investors.”
Yun Nan quickly sorted out her thoughts. “Overseas investors? …Chen Nian, investigate those overseas investors. Xiang Yang doesn’t have much contact with anyone in the country outside of the Shi family. I’ll see if I can meet Shi Gao through Lin Yu. You check if any of those outsiders were overseas during the same period of time as Xiang Yang. If there are, focus on them!”
“Chang Yuan, go to Ning village and investigate secretly. Remember, we mustn’t alert the enemy. The most important thing for us now is to ensure Xiang Yang’s safety.”
Chang Yuan and Chen Nian accepted her orders and left, and Yun Nan went straight to the hospital.
Lin Yu scooped up a spoonful of cereal porridge and gently blew on it before putting it back down and stirring the bowl of porridge. With a smile, she tenderly whispered, “Mom, look how great everything is now! I’m the Xi family’s young madam now. I used my own marriage to help you ward off ill health, and you’ve indeed woken up. Everyone is saying that I’m the Xi family’s lucky star. Thank you for making this all possible. Otherwise, I really don’t know what my next steps would be.”
Han Yuan glared hard at Lin Yu with wide eyes, looking like she wanted nothing more than to burn her to a crisp. Lin Yu blew on the cereal porridge to cool it and brought it to Han Yuan’s lips. “Eat, Mom. Don’t throw a tantrum!
You should let go of your anger and take better care of yourself. Look at Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Ye, and Mrs. Liang; you’re about the same age as them, but they all take good care of themselves and seem so healthy and young. Look at you; you’re disabled and unable to even take care of yourself now. How tragic.. The heavens probably don’t like you very much, huh?”
