Tang He hadn't expected him to say that. You know, the teacher and his wife had a very good relationship. A few years ago, his wife passed away, and the teacher moved to this mountain, detaching himself from the outside world. It was around that time that Tang He completed his teacher's project, and he had received his teacher's help along the way.
The old man was a little angry: "Where did you hear that?"
"Don't be angry, old man," Ji Ou soothed him. "Since you want to know the truth, our detective agency will do its best to find the jade pendant, but I have one small request."
"Tell me." The old man was indeed a little impatient. "What are you planning?"
"That's the Zhuo family," Ji Ou said. "Who is the financial source behind the Zhuo family? I believe you know better than us."
"The Zhuo family and I are old friends," the old man said, "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious."
"Old man, please don't rush to choose sides," Ji Ou continued, "I hope you can reconsider. After all, the current Zhuo Group is no longer the same as before."
The old man had met countless people, so how could he not know the reason behind his words: "I will consider it."
After they left, Mu Jiang took out his cell phone and sent a message to Xia Yue, asking him to be careful of the people from the detective agency.
The old man approached the screen, and the figure that flashed through it made him a little alert: "Come out!"
Mu Jiang and Ouyang exchanged a glance: "Does he know we are in here?"
The two men walked out from behind the screen and saw the old man with a serious face.
"Mr. Gu!" Ouyang said, "We didn't mean to eavesdrop just now. It's just that Ji Ou and Tang He are always eyeing our Zhuo Group covetously, so we have to be on guard."
"You guys?" The old man looked the two somewhat embarrassed young men up and down. "Are you avoiding them?"
"Mr. Gu," Ouyang said, "can we find a private place to talk?"
"Of course." Mr. Gu took them upstairs, where there was a hidden study.
The old man sat on the chair and pointed to the two empty chairs next to him: "You sit down."
Ouyang took his backpack from Mu Jiang and pulled out a well-protected box. He unpacked it, opened it, and placed it in front of the old man. "Mr. Gu, I know you've been looking for a jade pendant. I got it from a collector. Take a look and see if it's the one you're looking for."
Mu Jiang looked at Ouyang in surprise. When did she get this jade pendant? And when she came here, she didn't mention that she had such a big bargaining chip. He was now clearly confident. He was not afraid that the old man would turn against them and finally hand them over to Ji Ou and Tang He.
"Indeed," Lao Xian took it in his hand and examined it carefully. "Where did you learn this?"
"I saw this in Grandpa Zhuo's notes. He had seen this jade pendant a few years ago and he liked it very much. Unfortunately, it's not for sale at ten yuan." Ouyang said casually. This was the result of her spending a lot of time thinking and investigating, but she would not say that because he and Ji Ou had too many unclear connections.
"Everyone says Mr. Zhuo is a fan of antiques, calligraphy and paintings. I didn't expect he also took a fancy to this jade pendant."
"The old man's vision is indeed unique," Ouyang said, "I have another thing here that I hope can be of some help to you." She handed him a document.
The old man put on his glasses and carefully read the contents. With a mixture of surprise and expected helplessness, he looked up at Ouyang. "Are you Ouyang?" Because her face was stained, he didn't recognize her at first glance, but now he was certain. "Mr. Zhuo praised you a lot in front of me." He placed the document on the table. "They all say you're dead, but I don't believe it. In my opinion, you and the fate of the Zhuo family are closely linked. The Zhuo family now also owns the entire Zhuo Group, and it's well managed. In other words, you put in a lot of effort behind the scenes."
"Mr. Gu," Ouyang said, "I am indeed Ouyang. The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to sell that piece of land to our Zhuo Group."
"Are you also after the land?"
"Mr. Gu, you are a well-connected person. I believe you also know what the Zhuo Group needs most right now."
"prestige?"
"Yes, it's a small piece of land for you, but for us, it's a place to build trust."
"Your target is Sheng Group?"
"The Sheng Group was originally closely related to the Zhuo Group. Now that they are in trouble, if Grandpa were here, he would also help him."
The old man looked at Ouyang thoughtfully. No matter whether what she said was true or not, he would help her because of the things she gave him.
"I can give you the land," the old man said, "but you must promise not to let these secrets out."
"Of course," Ouyang looked at the old man. "What you have in your hands is firsthand information."
Ouyang and Mu Jiang got the contract and then went down the mountain.
"Ouyang, what on earth did you give him that made that old guy sign the contract with you so easily?"
"Want to know?"
"certainly."
"Then you have to deliver this contract to Sheng Group," Ouyang said, "and you can't let Xia Yue know about it."
"Why are you hiding this from Brother Xia Yue?"
"I have my reasons."
"Okay, then tell me, what did you give to that old man?"
"A paternity test," Ouyang said, "a paternity test between him and his biological son."
“That simple.”
