Xia Wan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then pressed on, "Do you think Xia Jianlin has truly gained the full trust of the Xia family? Also, what is his current situation over there? Do you have any accurate information about these things?"

Guo Zheng shook his head and answered truthfully: "To be honest, the last time I heard any news about Xia Jianlin was last year."

At that time, it was truly difficult to discern whether the Xia family trusted him or not.

But one thing is quite obvious: he was always quick and efficient in giving him money, but he was never given any specific work to do.

A family like the Xia family was actually beyond the reach of someone like Guo Guanghua.

However, the two families had a feud between their ancestors, and Guo Zhen's status as an adopted son of the Xia family was what caused the entanglement.

Since Guo Zheng was transferred here by Guo Guanghua, it has not been an easy task for him to find out the latest developments from the capital.

These past two years have flown by. Apart from occasionally passing on some essential key information to Guo Guanghua, I've mostly lived a mundane and ordinary life, following the usual routine.

With the capital, all unnecessary and superfluous contact and exchanges were almost completely severed.

Xia Wan nodded thoughtfully, thinking to herself: It seems that the information he knows is far less than the amount I found from that mysterious system.

Well, in any case, given the current situation, it's already quite a good situation for them.

As for what will happen after we arrive in Beijing, we can only wait and see. As the saying goes, "When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will dam it."

After all the relevant matters were properly arranged, Xia Wan then instructed her brother to go and buy the train tickets.

After some effort, Xia Tao successfully purchased three train tickets to Beijing for three days from now. This would give him just enough time to pack and organize his belongings over the next two days.

After careful consideration, Xia Wan decided not to bring too many unnecessary items, especially considering that the trip was to the hospital for medical treatment, and if she brought too many things, she would have nowhere to put them.

Therefore, she only selected a few essential items to put in the space for emergencies, while the rest was enough for everyone to prepare a few sets of clothes to change into.

At this moment, Xia Wan stood quietly in her own courtyard, her gaze slowly shifting to the few potted plants in the corner that were already showing signs of withering. For a moment, her mind was in turmoil, and all sorts of complicated thoughts surged into her heart like a tide...

Tomorrow we're going to Beijing. Because of his father's illness, the family is both excited and anxious. Just then, Xia Tao hurried in, a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Wanwan, Li Chengjun heard we're going to Beijing and insisted on treating you to a meal. He's waiting outside right now."

Xia Wan frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "Brother, this is not good. We're leaving soon, how can we have time to eat, and we'll only be troubling people."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard Li Chengjun's voice from the doorway: "Wanwan has helped me a lot, I must treat you to dinner today, besides, I have something to tell you."

Xia Tao wondered to himself why Li Chengjun was expressing gratitude to his younger sister.

Although they were puzzled for a moment, seeing that the other party had come to their door to invite them in person, it would seem that they were too reserved and stingy to refuse.

So Xia Tao also joined in, muttering to himself whether the time was appropriate.

"Go on, Xiao Wan. We don't need to cook today. Remember to bring some good food back for Dad later," Xia Tao said to his sister with a big smile.

At this moment, Li Chengjun also turned his gaze to Xia Wan, a helpless yet ingratiating smile on his face: "Come on, Wanwan, we made a promise, you can't go back on your word about treating me to a big meal! Otherwise, people will say that I, Li Chengjun, am untrustworthy!"

Faced with her brother and Li Chengjun's enthusiastic invitation, Xia Wan, though somewhat reluctant, could no longer refuse.

She sighed softly and could only nod in agreement, "Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Brother Jun." With that, she followed the two of them to the renowned state-run restaurant.

As soon as he entered the store, Li Chengjun asked with great enthusiasm, "Wanwan, what do you want to eat here? As long as you can name it, I'll have the chef cook it for you."

It turns out that this state-run restaurant only serves a limited number and variety of dishes each day. If customers want to try other dishes, they have to trouble the chef to prepare them separately.

However, such special treatment is not available to everyone; usually only those of high status or those with close relationships with the chef can enjoy this honor.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wan couldn't help but secretly marvel at Li Chengjun's extensive network of connections.

However, she remained calm on the surface, and after a moment's thought, she calmly ordered two dishes that she had long desired.

Since she's already come all this way and they've said so, it would be unreasonable for her to refuse again.

After the three of them were settled in, Li Chengjun, his face full of gratitude, said sincerely, "Wanwan, thank you so much for last time! If you hadn't delivered those things in time and come up with such a brilliant idea, my troublesome matter would never have been resolved so smoothly! I don't know how to thank you enough."
