The South City's richest Zhong family had doted on their beloved daughter for seventeen years, only to find they had doted on the wrong person!
Word had it that the true daughter, Kong Xi...
Chapter 44: All members of the archaeological team were poisoned
In the following time, Zhong Qi Han originally wanted to observe and study Kong Xiyan carefully. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Unexpectedly, Kong Xiyan left the Zhong family on the pretext of a part-time job just a few days after he came back.
The Zhong couple and Zhong Yangyang stood at the door to see her off to the car to the airport. The three of them had to give Kong Xiyan some instructions, and Kong Xiyan just responded with a faint smile. Finally, when she saw that it was almost time, she closed the car window.
"Eat well!" Zhong Yangyang said the last sentence and sighed softly.
Why is she so worried?
Zhong Qihan leaned against the window on the third floor, his eyes fixed on the car that was moving away. He curled his lips downwards in a cold smile, "You escaped quickly, but if you have the guts, don't come back for the rest of your life."
How could it be such a coincidence that just after he came back, Kong Xiyan was about to take some weird part-time job and asked for a whopping 500,000 yuan!
He must be hiding away to avoid his attack, waiting for him to leave before coming back to act tyrannically.
Just wait and see, this time he will let everyone know that he, Zhong Qihan, only recognizes Zhong Yangyang as his sister, and he will also let Zhong Yangyang realize how cheap and shallow Kong Xiyan’s PUA methods are!
"Hiss." Zhong Qihan raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck. "I slept well last night, but why do I feel like I was beaten again... It hurts so much."
After returning home, his sleep became better and better, and his headache symptoms were also alleviated a lot.
But I often feel like I've been hit at the back of my neck.
It's so weird.
On this side, Kong Xiyan, who was sitting in the car, lowered her head and replied to a message.
There was a problem with the archaeological team in Xicheng, and she needed to rush over as soon as possible. In return, the other party would arrange people to secretly protect the Zhong family so that Kong Xiyan would have no worries.
Just after I replied to the message, a WeChat voice call invitation came directly.
After taking a look at the other party's profile picture and notes, Kong Xiyan answered directly: "What's wrong?"
"What's the matter with you telling my grandfather that the treatment has been suspended and we don't have to go to the Zhong family next time?" Young Master Luo's voice came from the phone.
Today is the day when the head of the Su family goes to the Zhong family for treatment. He got up early, changed into a newly bought tie and a custom tie clip, and went to find the head of the Su family in a refreshed mood.
When they arrived in front of the head of the Su family, they found out that Kong Xiyan contacted him last night and said that the treatment had been suspended and asked them not to go to the Zhong family recently.
Patriarch Su looked up and down at the handsome and well-dressed Third Young Master Luo and asked, "Why? Didn't Xiyan tell you?"
Talk... talk shit!
Facing the look in the eyes of the Su family head, Young Master Luo felt even more embarrassed.
Doesn't this make it seem like he's being overly enthusiastic and impatient?
Did Kong Xiyan figure out who was paying for it? Even if she didn't need to go anymore, she should have contacted him. What was the point of telling Patriarch Su?
So, Young Master Luo pretended to be indifferent, and as soon as he returned to the room, he called Kong Xiyan to question her.
"I was going to contact you last night, but it just so happened that the head of the Su family called and asked if I was free these few days. He wanted to invite me for tea, so I told him directly." Kong Xiyan explained the whole story clearly, and the anger on the part of Young Master Luo almost dissipated.
"My grandfather's complexion and sleep have just improved. If you interrupt the treatment at this time, will it have any impact on his health?"
"Don't worry. Now is the time to give your body some stable, self-healing time. When we get to Xicheng, I'll prepare some blood-clearing and warming tea and send it to the Su family. Just have him drink it every day. I'll continue the treatment when I come back. As for the tea... I won't charge you for it. Consider it my little token of my respect for the old man."
Just respecting the elderly? What about him?
Young Master Luo frowned slightly: "Where are you going? How long will you be gone? When will you be back?"
"I'm going to Xicheng. I have a part-time job there. The specific return time has not been decided yet." Kong Xiyan couldn't say for sure.
The local terrain is complex, and the ancient lost city is very old, making excavation difficult and dangerous. Due to the terrain, there is also the possibility of poisonous weeds, fog and natural disasters.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have urged her to come over so quickly.
"Part-time job? Are you short of money?" Young Master Luo frowned even more. The total cost of Patriarch Su's medical treatment had reached nearly two million yuan, and why was Kong Xiyan still taking on such a random part-time job? What a joke!
“It’s not about the money.”
"I'll pay double."
“It’s really not about the money.”
"I'll pay ten times as much."
"I'll be back as soon as possible." Seeing how generous Third Young Master Luo was, Kong Xiyan, with the intention of taking care of an old customer, stretched out her fingers to calculate and kindly reminded: "Your whole June will be relatively smooth, and your financial luck will be good. If you have any investment opportunities, you can consider them. However, you should avoid stocks, funds, and virtual currencies. Also, avoid bad love affairs. Be careful to avoid them. For your health, don't be too cold, drink more hot water."
After listening quietly to what Kong Xiyan had to say, Young Master Luo relaxed his brows and curled the corners of his mouth.
She cares about me.
"You should also be careful." After giving this reminder, Young Master Luo hung up the phone and stretched.
The feeling of being cared for...is not bad.
At this time, a phone call came in. As soon as Luo Sanshao answered the phone, a deep male voice came from the other end: "Boss, the other party is sincere about the tourism project in West City, but the investment value after evaluation is not high. It can barely be ranked C. Not many people are optimistic about it."
Luo San Shao remembered Kong Xiyan's words and made a decision immediately: "Someone said that I have good fortune recently. Let's give it a try and invest 30 million first."
"Okay." The person on the other end of the phone agreed and then hesitated, "Boss, I remember your original plan was to escape from Beijing to South City and then find a way back. You..."
"I'm not going back for now." Young Master Luo had never thought that he would meet such an interesting person in South City and encounter so many things. Then his eyes turned cold: "Keep watching the Luo family and tell me as soon as there is any movement."
"yes."
…
As soon as Kong Xiyan arrived in Xicheng, she got on a black business car. After arriving at the destination, Kong Xiyan realized that the words "critical situation" were not just talk.
All members of the 20-man advance team were poisoned. They suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and became extremely thin, but they still thought they were just suffering from the unfamiliar climate.
Without time to think, Kong Xiyan quickly started the rescue and arranged for everyone to go to the village to rest first.
With the help of people from above, the villagers were very cooperative.
After everything was arranged, Kong Xiyan finally had some time to think: "How could everyone be poisoned at the same time..."
If she hadn't come in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
At this time, an old man who was resting on the side of the road attracted Kong Xiyan's attention. She walked straight over and started chatting with the old man. After a while, she found out the situation in the village.
After that, within three days, Kong Xiyan became familiar with the entire village.
On this side, Zhong Qihan also took Zhong Yangyang away from the Zhong family and arrived in Xicheng.
At noon the day before they arrived, Kong Xiyan also learned about this while she was sitting under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, crossing her legs and chatting with the old men and women.
"Tomorrow a big star from the city will come to our village to film a TV show!" The aunt said excitedly, "The production team even rented a room from me. They said they're going to give the star a place to stay, and they're paying him 200 yuan a day!"
"Xiao Kong, you are so beautiful. It would be great if you could be a big star on TV!"
"Me?" Kong Xiyan spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and shook her head: "I can't do it. I'm introverted."
At this time, someone shouted: "The village chief is calling us to a meeting!"
"It's a meeting, let's go." The aunt and grandmother next to them enthusiastically pulled Kong Xiyan over.
Kong Xiyan laughed as she followed everyone over and sat in the village chief's courtyard. She listened to the chief's mobilization speech regarding the upcoming program shoot and mentioned the nearby tourism business. "Everyone will benefit from it. This is something that concerns everyone in our village. Everyone should be enthusiastic, okay?"
The village chief cleared his throat and continued, "Also, I'm going to the city this afternoon for a week-long meeting and study session. While that's not a long time, we still have to choose an acting village chief."
"Let's choose Xiao Kong. She's pretty. If she can appear on TV, it will bring honor to our village!" someone suggested.
