Afternoon.
Kaiyue Hotel.
Separated from the Huayuan Residential District by just one street.
The rental house where Qin Jianjun lived had been blown to pieces, so he had no choice but to stay in a hotel for a few days.
Not long after he had completed the check-in process, soone knocked on his door.
"You are...."
Qin Jianjun eyed the tall woman in front of him, who was wearing a face mask, and his face was a picture of confusion.
Behind her followed two young n in suits, with cold gazes and somber expressions—it was clear they were not to be trifiled with.
"Old Qin, who is it?"
Zhou Cuiping ca over, holding her waist.
She had had two kidneys removed and only one transplanted back; the empty side still ached intermittently.
"I don't know!"
Qin Jianjun shook his head, obviously clueless.
"Don't be nervous. We an no harm, we're just here to ask you about so matters!"
Qing Yi said this and walked in without waiting for an invitation.
"Oh... please, have a seat then!"
Qin Jianjun felt on edge, thinking that Qing Yi and her company might be from a special departnt, here to investigate the explosion at the rental property.
"Sure!"
Qing Yi took a seat on the sofa, her long legs wrapped in tight jeans, and after surveying the room, she asked casually, "Qin Jianjun, right? You have a daughter, where is she?" Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
"Uh... are you looking for my daughter for sothing?"
Qin Jianjun was taken aback. These people weren't here for him but for Zhou Nannan?
It is necessary to ntion here that it had been over a decade since Qin Jianjun and his wife's divorce. At that ti, Qin Wei'er was just a little girl, and bearing a grudge against her father, she hadn't been in contact with him for many years.
Therefore, when Qing Yi asked about his "daughter," his first thought was Zhou Nannan!
"Friend, we haven't seen each other for many years. I just want to see her," said Qing Yi naturally.
"She is next door. Cuiping, could you call Nannan over?"
Qin Jianjun, being an honest person, didn't suspect anything. His family was so poor; they had nothing worth being deceived for.
"Okay..."
Zhou Cuiping was completely obedient to Qin Jianjun now.
"No need for that; I'll go over myself. After so many years, it's not convenient for you to be involved in our reunion as friends," Qing Yi said and then left the room.
"Nannan has friends like that, and we didn't know?"
Qin Jianjun and Zhou Cuiping exchanged puzzled looks.
Knock, knock...
In the next room, Zhou Nannan was folding so newly bought clothing. Hearing the knock on the door, she opened it.
"Who are you looking for?"
Zhou Nannan's expression showed her wariness.
"Are you Qin Jianjun's daughter?"
Qing Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, sizing up Zhou Nannan. If stature and appearance were both out of a hundred, Zhou Nannan would score seventy in stature and seventy-five in looks.
In the general population, that was already above average.
But that was not the key issue. The key was that the Family Head had placed his own newborn daughter into foster care when she was just seven or eight months old—nobody knew what she would look like when she grew up.
That's why the Family Head had left behind half of a jade pendant, as proof for recognizing each other in the future.
"Yes... yes!"
Zhou Nannan felt uneasy being stared at by Qing Yi but still nodded.
Ever since she had learned of Qin Yu's true capabilities and he had offered half a million for her mother's kidney transplant, she had started treating Qin Jianjun like her real father. This way, Qin Yu would accept them as family and provide more assistance.
"Oh... so you should have half of a jade pendant with you, right? Can I take a look at it?"
Qing Yi felt that the woman before her had a look of poverty and being down on her luck. However, even if she had grown up in an ordinary rural family and was the biological daughter of the Family Head, there would undoubtedly be a world of difference in their deanors.
"Ah? How did you know I have half a jade pendant?"
Zhou Nannan was both shocked and nervous. Could it be that these people were sent by the rcedes owner to retrieve that half of the jade pendant?
"...There are so things I can't tell you right now. Just show that half of the jade pendant!"
Qing Yi pondered briefly before speaking.
Zhao Heng had already accomplished half of the task, and whether to carry out the remaining half depended on how easy this woman was to control.
If she was ek and lowly, it wouldn't do any harm to keep her around—she would pose no threat.
On the other hand, if she was clever and capable, he wouldn't mind her eting an early demise "when she was young."
On this trip to East Sea, Qing Yi brought only her trusted subordinates, so she wasn't worried about any leaks.
In Capital City, the Qin Family wielded enormous power and wealth. Who wouldn't want to be the sole heir?
"I... I... Okay then!"
Zhou Nannan couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, but since she hadn't lost that half of the jade pendant, if they really wanted to take it back, she'd just give it to them.
Thinking this, she took out the cleaned half of the jade pendant from the bedside drawer, her hands trembling.
"..."
Qing Yi's eyes narrowed slightly—it was indeed her, the Family Head's biological daughter.
After staring intensely at the half jade pendant in Zhou Nannan's hand for a while, she said indifferently, "Keep it for now. We'll co back for you later."
"Ah? Okay..."
Zhou Nannan weakly nodded her head.
Bang...
As soon as Qing Yi and her party closed the door and left, Zhou Nannan was still in a fog, unsure of their intentions.
After leaving the hotel and getting into a taxi, a young man finally asked Qing Yi, "Miss, should we take her back to Capital City?"
"..."
Gazing out the window, Qing Yi truly felt confused; she didn't know whether she should silently eliminate this potential competitor.
"This matter is of great significance, and many details have yet to be investigated. There's no rush to return to Capital City,"
Qing Yi mused for a short while before speaking indifferently.
"Right, we also feel she doesn't look much like the Family Head. It's possible the Family Head's biological daughter has been gone for a long ti, and this person is an impostor," one of her subordinates cleverly interjected.
They were all Qing Yi's confidants and naturally hoped Qing Yi would beco the Qin Family's heir, which would lead to their own rise as well.
"Let's get the investigation clear before reaching a conclusion!"
Qing Yi said distantly.
"Understood, Miss!"
The two subordinates nodded, fully grasping the unspoken hints in Qing Yi's words.
At that mont,
Four Seas Corporation.
Yan Mingyu glanced at her wristwatch; it was already after four o'clock.
The Donghai Chamber of Comrce's summary eting would start at five-thirty, and she should set off.
After biting her lower lip, she picked up a docunt and slipped it into her bag, then walked out of the office with the distinct click of her heels.
"You two, co with to a place!"
Several A-grade security guards stood in the hallway. Yan Mingyu addressed the two with the best skills.
"Yes, Ms. Yan!"
The two A-grade security guards imdiately followed her steps and entered the CEO's private elevator.
One was responsible for driving, while the other followed in a Land Rover, providing protection from behind.
The two vehicles, one in front of the other, headed towards the Donghai Chamber of Comrce headquarters.
An hour later,
Yan Mingyu's Bentley stopped in front of a majestic building where the parking lot was already filled with various luxury cars.
Today's summary eting was akin to the company's annual eting.
Almost every prestigious boss from East Sea had co. Under such circumstances, Hong Xiaowu should exercise so restraint, right?
