Liu Kai got the answer he wanted.

I put away my tablet, leaned back in my seat, and looked out the porthole at the world.

By this time, the return journey was already halfway complete, and the helicopter wasn't flying very high.

But looking down at the densely packed buildings and the low hills in the distance...

A well-known poem suddenly popped into my mind.

"I will climb to the very top and look down upon all the mountains below!"

However, it was this line of poetry that suddenly sparked a flash of inspiration in his mind.

It seemed as if there was some key information, albeit vague.

Liu Kai quickly focused his mind to recall that fleeting feeling, repeatedly murmuring the poem.

Because the earpiece was not turned off, the helicopter pilot also heard Liu Kai whispering poetry.

Seemingly sensing something, he chuckled and picked up the conversation.

"Advisor Liu has a refined taste. Indeed, the saying 'the higher you stand, the farther you can see' is best summarized by 'to reach the summit.'"

"Oh? The higher you stand, the farther you can see..."

Liu Kai's eyes suddenly lit up; he had grasped the fleeting idea.

I suddenly recalled something that happened during my university days.

At that time, a classmate, let's call him A, was shopping.

I accidentally saw another student, B, who was from a very poor family, eating at a high-end private restaurant!

Student A was furious.

They went directly to the counselor to report the incident and demanded that student B's special hardship support benefits be revoked.

However, the counselor always found various excuses to try to suppress the matter.

They even demanded that classmate A keep everything a secret.

Unfortunately, the news still got out.

Many onlookers were furious, believing there must be something fishy going on.

They especially suspected that the counselor had accepted bribes.

Later, the truth came out.

It's very simple, yet also incredibly dramatic: Student B works part-time as a waiter in a restaurant during his spare time.

On his birthday, the boss saw that he was down-to-earth and pitiful, so he personally cooked him a high-quality private meal.

The counselor didn't say it outright because student B had a very strong sense of self-esteem.

so.

Sometimes, when those in power make seemingly inexplicable decisions, it doesn't necessarily mean there's something fishy going on.

On the contrary, perhaps it is those above who see further.

They made decisions that most people couldn't understand because they had access to more secretive and crucial information.

Thinking of this, Liu Kai suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He didn't doubt Qin Luofei's persistence, but he also didn't doubt Yu Dalong's and his own judgment.

If the truth is indeed as he suspects.

Therefore, the official ambitions extend beyond the Fenghai City Mutual Aid Association.

Unfortunately, we don't know what Qin Luofei is doing now, and we can't get in touch with her.

Even if there is new information, it cannot be conveyed in a timely manner.

Suspicion about Zhong Linyu has been temporarily ruled out, but it's still worthwhile to visit Mr. Ji at the mutual aid society.

after all.

To say that Mr. Ji was completely unaware of what Vice President Ma Yongxing was doing?

Liu Kai was clearly quite skeptical.

How could you not know how many chickens you keep in your backyard?

...

When the helicopter took Liu Kai back, it was already 11 a.m.

The time I had arranged with Mr. Ji was fast approaching.

Manipulating the storage space to devour the newly acquired gold is an improvement, but not significant.

Of course, Liu Kai wasn't in a hurry.

He released the snowmobile from the storage space, and after thinking for a moment, he also released Little Black and Little White.

Although time seemed to stand still within the storage space, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai felt as if they had appeared outside the bunker in an instant.

Those playful and active genes immediately began to stir.

Little Black immediately took action, its tongue lolling out as it prepared to chase after a snowflake.

But Liu Kai grabbed fate by the back of the neck.

"Come back, go drive, head north."

Xiao Hei understood Liu Kai's words, and with its tail between its legs and head down, it scurried into the driver's seat.

The snowmobile sped towards the north of the city.

Liu Kai sat in the passenger seat with his legs crossed.

It wasn't that he was being lazy; he was actually using that military tablet to check information.

Information about Mr. Cha Ji.

We've known each other for a long time, but all I ever knew was that this person's surname was Ji.

No other information is known whatsoever.

Because of the mutual aid society, Mr. Ji's identity was classified as "secret".

However, this level is the lowest among classified information.

Soon, the person's identity information appeared on the tablet computer.

Ji Zihan, a native of Fenghai, born in 2001 (age 42), is the president of the Fenghai Municipal Mutual Aid Association. At the age of 25, he took over the family group "Pipi Shrimp Real Estate" from his father, Song Wenqi. He has a superior business acumen and outstanding abilities, and at his peak, his net worth exceeded 10 billion yuan. He was known in business circles as Mr. Ji. At the age of 40, he sold his shares and withdrew from the business world. He is particularly passionate about extreme sports such as wilderness exploration...

I carefully read through the densely packed introduction.

Liu Kai couldn't help but sigh: The lives of the rich are indeed simple, unpretentious, and boring.

Then he casually clicked on his parents' information.

As expected, Ji Zihan took his mother's surname.

However, both of his parents have passed away.

His mother passed away a year before he took over the family business.

However.

When Liu Kai saw the time of his father Song Wenqi's death, he immediately raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Is it really such a coincidence?"

May 2, 2043!

Just three days before the cold wave's apocalypse.

The reason it's considered a coincidence is because Liu Kai remembered someone.

The marine biologist who went into the water with him during the salvage of the lakebed base and was subsequently swallowed whole by a raging giant octopus.

Song Yuming.

Just before the cold wave arrived, Song Yuming had taken bereavement leave due to his father's passing.
