Chapter 511: Chapter 512: Have You Heard Any News About That Child?
In the evening, Xia Yangyang had just returned home.
Xiaowu had handed her a bundle of documents.
“Here, the documents you requested.”
Xiaowu always kept her words to a minimum, rarely saying two words where one would suffice.
Of course, this was related to her disinclination to speak over the years.
The way she was now represented a significant improvement.
After all, it took a whole year for Xia Yangyang to coax her into uttering her first words.
Xia Yangyang sifted through the documents Xiaowu handed to her.
They were information about the fallen official Ma Jianguo.
From his Identity card details, phone number, home address to his family members.
Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Xiaowu to gather the information so quickly.
It was time to take some action for certain matters.
Working diligently for so long, Xia Yangyang had rarely taken leave apart from the time span during Xia Ye’s birth.
However, this time, she had applied for a month-long leave from the company.
She intended to return to her home country.
She had to clarify certain matters as soon as possible and put an end to them.
Gu Qichen had been in Manhattan for half a month.
Since he saw that side glance that day, he hadn’t encountered that person again.
As time passed, the face’s image in Gu Qichen’s mind had become increasingly blurred.
The more he desperately tried to remember the face’s features, the more he realized he was not certain of any of it.
Fang Zhengdong also noticed their boss’s strange behavior these past few days.
All the work in the United States had long been flawlessly resolved.
However, back home, a heap of important matters needed attention.
There were a few crucial meetings that required his decision.
Yet, the boss stayed here and refused to return.
Strangely, he drove out every day to roam about aimlessly.
He had driven back and forth dozens of times at the same street junction.
Fang Zhengdong couldn’t understand what the boss was thinking.
When Fang Zhengdong walked in, he found the boss staring blankly at his desk.
The boss did not even notice his arrival.
“Boss,” Fang Zhengdong said.
Only then did Gu Qichen come back to his senses.
He looked up at Fang Zhengdong and asked, “Have you heard any news about that child?”
In the past few days, the boss had been trying to find out information about Tuazi.
It was rare to see the boss taking such a keen interest.
It was evident that Tuazi had narcolepsy.
The boss had left him a business card, but Tuazi’s parents had never contacted him afterward.
Although they only had a casual encounter, one could tell that the boss had taken a liking to Tuazi.
Fang Zhengdong knew Gu Zhaohan was a neurology expert, probably the boss wanted to refer Tuazi to him for treatment.
However, Tuazi’s parents had never contacted him.
Thus, the boss asked him to find out some details.
Fang Zhengdong shook his head, “There are over eight thousand Chinese people named Summer in Manhattan. After filtering through each one of them, we still didn’t find any information about the child.”
Gu Qichen frowned, “Even Ah K couldn’t find any information about the child?”
“Director Ah K has already done his best. He seems even more interested in the child compared to you, but he hasn’t discovered any useful information. Another possibility is, the child might not have American citizenship.”
Gu Qichen had also considered this possibility.
He stayed silent for a long while.
Fang Zhengdong asked, “Boss, should I continue looking?”
Gu Qichen sighed, “Nevermind, it’s just a child I happened to meet.”
Fang Zhengdong let out a sigh of relief.
The boss always gives him such difficult tasks. Although he was just a secretary, he was almost coerced into becoming a private detective.
After reporting on work, Fang Zhengdong finally said, “Boss, the old man called today to ask when you will be coming back.”
Gu Qichen frowned even deeper.
