Shang Luâs voice was icy, âHurry up and call!â
Zuo Tianfeng didnât want to believe a word Si Fuqing said.
However, with the future of Zuo Xianyu and the Zuo Corporation at stake, he had no choice but to humbly make the call under duress.
After two rings, the other party answered, âDad? Arenât you supposed to be in
Sijiu City? How did it go, is everything settled?â
âXianyu, tell me honestly, can you still write business proposals?â Zuo
Tianfengâs voice trembled, âDo you still have your business talent?â
Zuo Xianyuâs pupils contracted sharply, and she replied calmly, âDad, what are you talking about? Talent doesnât just disappear. Iâve just been really tired these days.â
However, Zuo Tianfeng knew Zuo Xianyu too well. Hearing her say this, his heart sank completely.
Zuo Xianyu was incredibly proud.
Ever since the old Master Zuo discovered her business talent and took her to navigate the business world, hearing praise from those around her, how could she possibly use excuses to cover up?
Had the Zuo family really stolen Si Fuqings luck?
Zuo Tianfeng stared blankly ahead, not even responding to Zuo Xianyuâs continuous calls from the handset.
Shang Lu ended the call, looking towards Si Fuqing, âMiss Si?â
âProceed according to the interrogation process,â Si Fuqing stood up, âThe person in charge can be jailed for twenty years, right?â
âYes,â Shang Lu nodded, âBut if weâre harsher, the death penalty is also an option.â
âFine,â Si Fuqingâs gaze fell on the stupefied Zuo Tianfeng, slowly, âThen let it be as you wish.â
It wasnât until the sound of the door opening and closing rang out that Zuo Tianfeng snapped back from his extreme fear and panic.
He struggled forcefully, his eyes red, âSi Fuqing! Si Fuqing, come back!â
Despite the absurdity of the situation, Zuo Tianfeng had no choice but to believe.
Before old Master Zuo brought Si Fuqing back, the Zuo family had some say in Lin City but was far from being a top-notch wealthy family, let alone securing todayâs number one position.
Since Si Fuqing arrived at the Zuo family, their business had flourished, signing many major deals, and luck had been exceptionally good.
In contrast, Si Fuqingâs condition worsened as the Zuo familyâs fortunes rose.
It seemed the old Master Zuo had somehow transferred the luck from Si Fuqing to the Zuo family continuously for thirteen years.
But if, as Si Fuqing said, the luck was taken back, what would become of the Zuo family?
Zuo Tianfeng dared not think further, his voice hoarse with desperation, âSi Fuqing, come back! Please, come back!â
âStay quiet!â Shang Lu administered a tranquilizer, âI told you, once youâre in, donât think about leaving.â
Zuo Tianfengâs vision darkened, and he passed out once again.
Outside, Si Fuqing received a call from Nian Tingchu.
âHello, Uncle,â Si Fuqing said, âYes, Iâll be back in Northern State by the end of August. Iâll just make it for my cousinâs school exam. Iâve already told him Iâll check his work, or else Iâll take all the gifts back.â
âAlright, you and Auntie take care, donât work too hard. I can earn the money.â
After the call, Si Fuqing checked the time.
Four oâclock.
She could still make it to her job with her boss.
She sent Yu Xiheng a message asking where he was.
A few seconds later, Si Fuqing received an address.
It was a pedestrian street in Sijiu City.
Si Fuqing applied some makeup and, with sunglasses, a mask, and a hat fully equipped, rode a shared bicycle there.
The pedestrian street was bustling, with various small vendors lining both sides.
Standing at the entrance, she could already smell the aroma of cakes and grilled meat.
Si Fuqing pressed down on her cap, surveying her surroundings.
Good, no one noticed her.
She quickly found Yu Xiheng.
Though he was dressed casually today, his physique was unmistakable, and his distinguished aura made him stand out in the crowd.
Sensing her gaze, the man turned his head, meeting her eyes calmly.
âWhy did you bring this mask out?â Si Fuqing approached, pointing to his face, âItâs an antique, it should be cherished.â
âItâs fine,â Yu Xiheng spoke unhurriedly, âMany people are wearing them.â
Seeing that at least six or seven out of ten people around were wearing masks identical to Yu Xihengâs, Si Fuqing was speechless.
Fine, the legacy ofEmperor Yin is the true pinnacle.
A pinnacle of one thousand five hundred years.
âBut this one is real,â Si Fuqing couldnât help but reach out to touch the mask,
âThe texture is different..â
