Chapter 179 May 21st is also a happy day
Logically speaking, Wei Fuzhou is the young master of the Henry Group, while Jialan is the one who took over the Black Mansion from the Henry Group.
To put it bluntly, he was someone who betrayed Wei Fuzhou, someone whom everyone in the Henry Group "deserves to kill."
But Wei Fuzhou not only didn't immediately win her over, but he was also able to sit in the same room with her and drink at the same table in a very harmonious way.
Could it be...
Was there something fishy about what happened at the Black Mansion back then?
Sun Qi subtly observed Wei Fuzhou and Luo Jiayin, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two.
He had always felt that Wei Fuzhou's attitude towards that little girl was unusual and easily misunderstood.
At that time, he thought that Luo Jiayin was a girlfriend that Wei Fuzhou had found somewhere, but Wei Fuzhou had made it very clear that Luo Jiayin was just one of his subordinates, so Sun Qi did not think much of it.
If... there really is some unclear relationship between these two...
Sun Qi's eyes darted around.
Is it possible that Wei Fuzhou deliberately arranged for this girl to "rebel" in the Black Mansion, hoping to take this opportunity to change the ownership of the Black Mansion?
It's important to understand that the real person in charge of the Henry Group right now isn't Wei Fuzhou.
Although Wei Fuzhou, the young master of the Henry Group, has handled most of the affairs of the group over the years, Wei Rong seems to have no intention of relinquishing any power.
If Jialan's "betrayal" was at Wei Fuzhou's behest...
Sun Qi suddenly felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary about Wei Fuzhou.
Could it be that the young master intends to gradually undermine Wei Rong's power, waiting for the right opportunity to take his place?
The thought flashed through his mind, but Sun Qi suppressed it and dared not think about it anymore. Instead, he focused on listening to Wei Fuzhou and Luo Jiayin talking.
"Wei Fuzhou, the young master of the Henry Group?" Luo Jiayin asked.
Wei Fuzhou raised an eyebrow, put down his cup, and looked at Luo Jiayin with interest.
This little girl is really good at it; she's putting on quite a convincing act.
“That’s me,” he said slowly. “I heard that the head of the Black House came to northern Myanmar today to look for a friend. Why did you meet me here instead of going to see him?”
Luo Jiayin looked at Wei Fuzhou with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude: "How did you know, young master, that I need to find my friend? Can't you lend me a hand?"
"Oh? I'm really curious then. Is the person you're looking for male or female? What's their name?"
Luo Jiayin smiled gently.
"Her name is Bo Nian."
“Bo Nian?” Wei Fuzhou frowned.
At this moment, the screen of Wei Fuzhou's phone lit up, and he temporarily stopped his conversation with Luo Jiayin and took a look at his phone.
Perhaps it was because he had been talking to Luo Jiayin sideways for a long time that Wei Fuzhou felt uncomfortable. He stretched his arms and twisted his slightly sore neck.
To outsiders, it was just an ordinary action, and no one in the private room took it seriously.
But in the instant that Wei Fuzhou's phone swept past Luo Jiayin's eyes as he stretched out his hand, Luo Jiayin keenly caught two words on Wei Fuzhou's phone screen.
Amnesia.
Wei Fuzhou noticed out of the corner of his eye that Luo Jiayin had already seen the message he had sent her via his phone, confirming that Luo Jiayin should have understood his meaning.
So Wei Fuzhou pressed the lock screen button, turned off the phone screen, and spoke again: "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these past few days, so I might be a little tired. Please don't mind, Miss Jialan."
"It's alright." Luo Jiayin smiled. "Young Master, you are busy with many things every day and must be tired. It is I who have troubled you this time."
"Not at all," Wei Fuzhou waved his hand politely and continued:
"By the way, what was that you just said, Bo Nian? Miss Jialan, please continue."
Amnesia?
Amnesia means...
Luo Jiayin's eyes darkened slightly as his mind raced, trying to figure out what Wei Fuzhou's hint meant.
She pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, then suddenly curled her lips into a smile at Wei Fuzhou.
"Bo Nian is a man of my Black Mansion."
Luo Jiayin paused for a moment, then continued, "She was seriously injured during a mission not long ago and lost her memory."
"After waking up, he couldn't remember any of us, didn't recognize anyone, and even forgot who he was."
"The only thing she remembered was that she seemed to be from northern Myanmar, and that her home was in northern Myanmar."
"It's also our fault for not keeping an eye on her. She actually ran all the way to northern Myanmar looking for her home without us noticing."
After saying this, Luo Jiayin stared intently at Wei Fuzhou, waiting for his reaction.
Wei Fuzhou lowered his eyes, his fingertips lightly tapping the marble tabletop, a gentle smile on his face.
Luo Jiayin noticed Wei Fuzhou tapping his fingers and felt relieved.
She guessed right!
After Bo Nian was captured by the Henry Group, he probably pretended to have amnesia and didn't remember anything.
"Okay, I understand. I'll have my people keep an eye out for which parks have recently seen an increase in the person Miss Jialan described."
"If it really is here with us, we will have someone notify you when the time comes."
Wei Fuzhou spoke casually, his tone full of perfunctory dismissiveness.
Luo Jiayin raised her head and met Wei Fuzhou's gaze calmly: "Young Master, you misunderstand. I didn't mean for you to help me find someone."
"Not going to look for someone?"
"If I weren't certain that Bo Nian was on your territory right now, why would I bother you at this time? Don't you agree?"
Wei Fuzhou curled his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Since Miss Jialan is so resourceful, even able to find out who has been added to my park, her extraordinary abilities are truly something to behold."
"Truly worthy of it..."
Wei Fuzhou turned to look at Luo Jiayin, his eyes narrowing slightly: "Truly worthy of being... someone who can devour the Black Mansion..."
The people who were casually chatting and drinking in the private room suddenly sensed a hint of danger in the air as Wei Fuzhou finished speaking. They all held their breath and dared not even breathe loudly.
Luo Jiayin, on the other hand, seemed indifferent.
"Oh, young master, you jest."
“You know the situation in northern Myanmar better than I do. Whether internally or externally, it has always been a dog-eat-dog world where the strong prey on the weak and the capable take over.”
"I was able to take down the Black Mansion, that's my skill, of course, there was also a little bit of luck involved."
"but……"
Luo Jiayin maintained a calm smile on her face.
She picked up a glass of red wine and took a casual sip: "How could the young master know that the Black Mansion is necessarily at odds with the Henry Group, and that there is no possibility for you and me to become friends?"
