Chapter 148 Guoshi North Tower
Ruan Qi called out, then couldn't help but yawned slightly.
When Xi Jiu on the other end of the phone heard this voice, he could completely imagine the little girl with sleepy eyes and messy hair.
There was a hint of smile in his cold eyes.
"Did I wake you?" he asked in a deep voice.
"No," Ruan Qi rolled out of bed and smoothed her messy hair. "Even if Mr. Xi didn't call, I would have woken up soon."
Xi Jiu said 'hmm'.
Ruan Qi: "Mr. Xi called, what's the matter?"
"I will return to the imperial capital the day after tomorrow." Xi Jiu said.
Ruan Qi let out an "ah" in confusion.
Xi Jiu: "When I get back, can you come with me to the base? I'll teach the technical team."
Ruan Qi suddenly understood.
"So that's what it is." Her voice was soft and sweet. "I'm going to start filming this Sunday, so I'll be free until Sunday~"
Xi Jiu: "Okay. I'll come find you when I get back to the capital."
…
A hotel room in Y City.
A minute had passed since the call was hung up, but the curve of Xi Jiu's mouth still hadn't fallen.
The soft and sweet voice of the little girl when she answered the phone kept echoing in his ears.
When the housekeeper Gong Qi pushed the door open and walked in, he saw his master with a face full of amorous feelings.
He smiled silently and placed the tea tray in front of Xi Jiu.
"Master, drink some tea to clear away heat and reduce internal heat."
The curve of Xi Jiu's lips disappeared, he raised his head, and his cold eyes flew towards Gong Qi.
Gong Qi pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled with a look of demeanor.
Xi Jiu untied his tie and leaned lazily on the sofa.
"Is there any progress on the Eagle side?"
Gong Qi: "Xi Ling just sent me some news. There are some clues in the investigation of Miss Ruan's master."
Xi Jiu: "Tell me in detail."
"Yes." Gong Qi bowed slightly, "Has the Patriarch heard of Mr. Beilou?"
Xi Jiu: "The Guoshi Beilou thirty-three years ago?"
He paused, "You mean..."
Gong Qi: "Ms. Ruan's master is very likely him."
Xi Jiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he tapped the coffee table with his fingertips.
"Where's the evidence?"
Gong Qi took out a document.
"Xu Xiangyang was born prematurely with functional impairments. Everyone predicted he wouldn't live past the age of five. The Xu family used their connections in the medical field to help him live for two more years. However, Xu Xiangyang was born with a deficiency, and he died at the age of seven."
"That year, Xu Xiangyang stayed in the hospital for eight months, relying entirely on medical equipment to keep him alive. At the end of September of the same year, Mr. Beilou, who had been traveling abroad, returned to the imperial capital."
"When Mr. Xu learned that Mr. Beilou had returned, he personally visited him. When Mr. Beilou didn't show up, Mr. Xu waited downstairs for three whole days."
"After that, Xu Xiangyang disappeared. Mr. Beilou also disappeared with him."
"Xu Xiangyang disappeared for two years. When he returned to the imperial capital, he was already healthy. He also became fascinated by medicine. Over the next ten years, Xu Xiangyang's medical skills improved by leaps and bounds. And, Patriarch, there's another piece of evidence that proves this."
Xi Jiu: "Speak."
Gong Qi flipped to the last page of information and tapped on it.
"Although Mr. Beilou's whereabouts were erratic, he would return to the imperial capital every few years. However, he hadn't been seen in the capital since nineteen years ago. And from that winter until June of the following year, Xu Xiangyang didn't even return for the start of school."
"Master, Miss Ruan was born in the winter nineteen years ago."
