The Young Matriarch

Chapter 203: Chapter 203 What Ancestor?
 

The entertainment industry has risen in the last century, with stars and idols wielding tremendous influence now, a far cry from the low status of actors in feudal society.

Duan Feihan led Bai Chuwei straight out of the CEO’s office, subjected to the gossiping gazes of onlookers.

Duan Feihan remained unfazed as he pressed the elevator button to go directly to the underground parking lot, intending to take Bai Chuwei to Henghua First Middle School.

A handsome man and beautiful woman?

Not even a dog in sight!

Duan Feihan explained, “Right now, studying is the most important thing, but if you want to come play at my company later, I can introduce you to them.”

Bai Chuwei didn’t take it to heart, as it was just a whim anyway.

With nothing better to do, Bai Chuwei fiddled with the car’s radio, and the host began broadcasting the news:

“It is reported that Liu Jingyuan, the CEO of Liu Corporation, went missing while hiking half a month ago, and was successfully rescued by the search team yesterday.”

Bai Chuwei was not at all surprised, as she had already given such detailed coordinates the night before that even a pig should have been able to find the spot.

If Liu Jingyuan had still perished in such circumstances, it could only mean that it was fated to be so.

Listening to the radio host’s vivid narration of the news, Bai Chuwei felt like the story was being turned into an adventure tale.

With one hand resting on the car window, Bai Chuwei suddenly suggested, “Hanhan, why don’t we go hiking on a free day? Wolong Ridge?”

Duan Feihan suddenly asked, “Are you planning to ask me at the mountain top whether I’m willing to be your minion?”

She would ask that question even if they weren’t on a mountain.

Taking out her phone, Bai Chuwei indeed saw that this news had made it onto the trending searches on Weibo.

After all, it was too legendary; a man goes missing at Wolong Ridge for half a month, and even as the search team was losing hope and preparing to scale down the operation, they found him that very evening!

And they successfully rescued him.

The most crucial point was—how hidden the cave where Liu Jingyuan had stayed was, and how did the search team find it?

It was said that the police were brought along at the time.

—”I heard that a big shot used divination to pinpoint the location. Don’t ask me who, I’m Conan.”

—”?[Image]? I was on a plane last night for a business trip and captured a picture of an old man kneeling down, which seems to be Liu Jingyuan’s father! What’s going on?”

—”It seems this incident is related to the Tang Family of the Imperial Capital.”

…

Chuwei looked at the news, pinching the bridge of her nose in annoyance.

When she had established the eight major families, she had chosen people who were fairly gentle and upright by nature. When had they started doing such harmful deeds?

Thinking of the fact that the Tang Family involved an illegitimate child, Chuwei was silent for a while.

She decided to watch things unfold for now; the eight great families acted like a net, and the other Family Heads would teach the Tang Family how to behave, so she didn’t need to speak up.

The news of Liu Jingyuan’s rescue stirred up a frenzy, spreading wildly across China with its mysterious vibes.

Qi Mo sat in his office, his fingers touching the Jade Talisman around his neck.

He had worn the Jade Talisman to sleep the night before, resulting in a night of pleasant dreams and waking up free of fatigue.

Qi Mo hesitated for a moment before picking up the office desk phone and dialing a number, “I’m looking for Tang Ke.”

Soon, a magnetic yet slightly arrogant male voice came from the other end, “Young Master Qi? Why are you calling me? Is it about the Liu Family incident?”

Qi Mo frowned, “The family elder is already aware of the incident, I advise you to stop while you still can, there’s still a chance to turn back.”

The man on the other end let out a light snort, “What family elder? Don’t tell me he appeared in your dreams?”
