5-year-old Chi Nai returned to ten years ago. At that time, her CEO father Baiyi Chi had just taken over the Chi Group, and her actress mother Yuan Yao Qin was still a third-tier actress with a bad...
Looking at Chi Nao's rosy cheeks, Song Shangce's face flushed slightly.
He slightly raised his chin: "You're welcome."
Chi Nao then greeted Grandpa Song: "Grandpa Song, are you here to visit my great-grandfather?"
"Yes, and we also came to see our cheese," said Grandpa Song.
"What's so special about me?" Chi Nao touched her little face. "Is it because I'm pretty?"
Grandpa Song was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Yes! Our cheese is the most beautiful!"
"What do you mean 'ours' and 'yours'? The cheese belongs to my family, not yours. Don't just talk about our cheese like that." Old Master Chi came over, not too happy.
"What are you two doing here again?"
He was having a good time playing doctor and patient with Cheese when a grandfather and grandson surnamed Song interrupted them.
"I heard the cheese has arrived, so I came to take a look," said Grandpa Song.
"My great-granddaughter, what are you all looking at? We can't get enough of looking at her ourselves." Old Master Chi said with a sneer.
"If you can't get enough of watching, we'll help you share the load," Old Master Song retorted. "Do you still want to play chess with me?"
Chi Nao knew that her great-grandfather loved playing chess.
Hearing Grandpa Song say that, Chi Nao said to Grandpa Chi, "Great-grandfather, you and Grandpa Song play chess, and we'll play together again tonight, okay?"
Since his beloved great-granddaughter had said so, Grandpa Chi naturally agreed to whatever she said.
"Okay." After agreeing, Grandpa Chi boasted to Grandpa Song, "Look at my great-granddaughter, how filial, sensible, and obedient she is."
If someone else were to show off like that, Grandpa Song would definitely retaliate with his own boast.
But the other party was Chi Nao, and Grandpa Song also liked Chi Nao very much, treating her like his own granddaughter.
Therefore, Grandpa Song felt that Grandpa Chi was right to show off.
The two elderly people went to play chess, and Song Shangce naturally ended up playing with Chi Nao.
"Do you like little trains?" Song Shangce asked Chi Nao.
"I love it!" Chi Nao said in a sweet, childlike voice. "The train is so fast, it disappears in a flash."
"I can make a toy train out of wooden blocks. Do you want to make one with me?" Song Shangce asked.
"Okay," Chi Nai replied softly. "But what if I'm clumsy and can't do it well?"
“You’re not stupid, you’re very smart. You’re the only person I’ve ever met who’s as smart as me,” Song Shangce said earnestly.
Chi Nai said "Oh," pondered for a moment, and then said, "You've met so few people."
Song Shangce: "..."
“No, I’ve met many, many people, but none of them are as smart as you,” Song Shangce solemnly corrected.
Chi Cheese thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, I think I'm smarter than my friends."
Song Shangce: "..."
He was so eager to correct her, worried that she might feel inferior; it turns out he was overthinking it.
“But I’m not good with my hands, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make a good toy train,” Chi Cheese added.
“It’s alright, I can teach you,” Song Shangce said.
Chi Nao looked at Song Shangce: "Really? But you don't seem like a very patient person."
Song Shangce: "..."
Song Shangce recalled his own face.
What makes him seem unlike a patient person?
"I will teach you very patiently." Song Shangce emphasized each word, trying to make Chi Nao feel his determination and sincerity.
Hearing Song Shangce say that, Chi Naozhi revealed her pearly white baby teeth and smiled brightly.
She nodded emphatically: "Okay."
...
A few days later, Mu Hai told Chi Baiyi about his investigation results.
“Mr. Chi, you’re very perceptive. About a month ago, a remittance of 50,000 yuan was deposited into Lin Heng’s account. This is the only remittance to his bank account in the past six months. I checked the remitter’s account and found that it was a foreign bank that sent the money to Lin Heng. And this is the same bank that sent the money to Cui Yi.”
Chi Baiyi was slightly taken aback: "The same foreign bank made the payments to Cui Yi and Lin Heng?"
Mu Hai nodded: "Yes."
Chi Baiyi's expression darkened slightly.
This discovery was something he hadn't anticipated.
"Have you found out who the homeowner is?" Chi Baiyi asked.
"No, that foreign bank keeps customer information confidential and won't let us check it."
"Also, Mr. Chi," Mu Hai said, his expression becoming more serious, "Lin Heng and Cui Yi have both disappeared."
A cold glint flashed in Chi Baiyi's eyes.
"Isn't Cui Yi in the detention center? How did he disappear?"
Mu Hai shook his head: "I don't know the details either. I just got the news. After I found out that the person who wired money to Lin Heng and Cui Yi might be the same person, I wanted to ask them. Then I found out that they had both disappeared and I still haven't been able to find their whereabouts."
Chi Baiyi's superior jawline tightened slightly: "The timing of their disappearance is so short, it seems the other party may know we are investigating, and that we might find out about this."
"You mean, the other party may have known we were investigating Lin Heng, and anticipated that we might find out he had transferred money to both Lin Heng and Cui Yi, so they protected Lin Heng and Cui Yi?" Mu Hai asked.
Chi Baiyi nodded.
“That night, we taught Lin Heng a lesson to make sure he wouldn’t follow Qin Yuanyao anymore, and then we left. It’s possible that Lin Heng told her that after that, and the timing also matches the timing of Cui Yi’s disappearance,” Mu Hai said.
"Why are they worried that we'll find out about him?" Chi Baiyi tapped the table unconsciously with his well-defined index finger, muttering to himself, "What do Lin Heng and Cui Yi have in common..."
Chi Baiyi couldn't understand it.
These two seemingly unrelated people are brought together by a mysterious bank account.
Why did the other party send money to Lin Heng and Cui Yi?
If discovering Lin Heng, who was tracking Qin Yuanyao, was inevitable, then discovering Cui Yi was accidental.
If Chi Cheese hadn't been so interested in the Chenghuang mask, they wouldn't have known who Cui Yi was.
If they hadn't known who Cui Yi was, even if they had caught Lin Heng, who was following Qin Yuanyao, and discovered that someone had wired money to the unemployed Lin Heng, they wouldn't have suspected anything.
So, could the breakthrough point for these two lines be his daughter, Chi Nao?
Why is Chi Cheese so obsessed with the Chenghuang mask, insisting on finding the Chenghuang mask with the red dot between its eyebrows?
Could the real reason she's been keeping quiet be the key to understanding what's going on?
Chi Baiyi made up his mind that he had to have a good talk with Chi Naozi and get her to tell the truth no matter what.
However, Qin Yuanyao also had to be present when talking to Chi Nao.
From Lin Heng's perspective, this matter is also related to Qin Yuanyao, and she has the right to know.
Hey everyone, my dog's been sick lately. I've been taking him to the vet and giving him medicine every day, so I haven't had as much time to write, and therefore haven't been updating as often. I'll try to update more when I have time, but if I don't, there will only be one chapter a day...
Also, Chi Nao will soon reveal that she traveled from ten years in the future~
