"Madam, please speak."
"Besides you, who else is Jing Ting's most trusted confidant?"
Jiang Dong asked curiously, "Why does Madam ask this?"
"I want to know."
"Yes," Jiang Dong reported truthfully. "Master Zhan has trained several trusted confidants. I am the one on the surface, while Jiang Nan is the most skilled and is secretly protecting Master Zhan. He also disappeared on the plane with Master Zhan this time, and there is still no news of him."
"There are two others who are responsible for handling some shady matters for Master Zhan, but Master Zhan probably doesn't want you to know about them."
“I understand.” Qiao Wanwan said thoughtfully. “Did Jingting contact anyone else after he came back this time?”
Jiang Dong became increasingly confused. "Madam, what exactly do you want to ask?"
"I want to know about Jingting's health condition."
"Didn't you take Master Zhan's pulse? If you're unsure, you can ask Master Zhan directly."
“You don’t understand.” Qiao Wanwan frowned slightly. “I always felt that Jingting’s actual condition was much worse than his pulse indicated, but he downplayed it and said he was fine. I’m not sure if he’s hiding something from me.”
"So I think if he has someone he trusts, and he contacts that person as soon as he returns to the capital, then that person should know something."
“Madam, as far as I know, no,” Jiang Dong recalled. “Master Zhan hasn’t even contacted me, so it’s highly unlikely he’d contact anyone else. Of course, since you have this suspicion, I can help you find out.”
"Then please ask for me, but don't alert anyone else."
"yes."
When Qiao Wanwan returned home, Shiyi's fever had not yet subsided.
Qiao Wanwan stayed by his side, constantly trying to cool him down with physical methods.
As the sky began to lighten, the temperature finally dropped.
Qiao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
When Shiyi opened her eyes, she saw Qiao Wanwan crying and asked, "Mommy, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qiao Wanwan quickly wiped away her tears. "Mommy is just worried about my little brother. You have Mommy to take care of you, but he doesn't. I don't know how he is now, or if he's feeling any better."
"Mommy, my brother and I have a telepathic connection. Since my fever has gone down, my brother must be fine too."
“Yes, Mommy thinks so too.” Qiao Wanwan bent down and hugged him. “You just got rid of your fever and you’re still very weak. Go to sleep.”
"Okay, Mommy, thank you for taking such good care of me. You should go to sleep too," Eleven said obediently. "If I feel unwell anywhere, I'll call the doctor."
"Okay, Mommy will listen to you. After you fall asleep, Mommy will go take a nap."
Shiyi closed her eyes and quickly drifted off to sleep.
Qiao Wanwan left quietly, went back to her room and took a shower. It was already broad daylight.
The rain had stopped, and she went out onto the balcony. The morning air was exceptionally fresh, and in the garden on the first floor, maids were already busy cleaning.
It should have been a beautiful and peaceful morning, but Qiao Wanwan felt that the entire Wutong Bay was shrouded in a layer of lingering gloom.
She gathered her wandering thoughts, took out her phone, and made a call.
"Hello?" The other party answered quickly.
"How is Xiao Jiu? Has her fever gone down?"
"As you said, I've been sweating a lot, and the sweat has subsided considerably."
Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes briefly. "If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be moved again. The child is already sick, and with all this running around, his body won't be able to take it."
Zhan Xiuwen sneered and said, "Isn't this what you forced? If you hadn't insisted on video chatting with him, there would have been no need to transfer the device."
Qiao Wanwan knew this, of course, but after weighing the options, she needed to know Xiao Jiu's current situation even more!
"We must make sure to give him extra nutrition and make sure he takes his medicine on time. The medicine is very bitter, but Xiao Jiu is a good boy and he will definitely drink it obediently."
“I understand. After all, he’s related to me by blood, and I won’t mistreat him,” Zhan Xiuwen said. “Qiao Wanwan, since you know that it was a difficult thing for Xiao Jiu to be transferred, how about we make a deal? From now on, I’ll send you a video of Xiao Jiu every two days to let you know he’s safe.”
Qiao Wanwan immediately objected, "No, how would I know if the video was filmed that day?"
"You don't have to agree. You can video chat with Xiao Jiu every day. Anyway, it's him who's suffering."
Qiao Wanwan gritted her teeth inwardly, "Fine, I promise you, you and the people behind you should know the consequences of hurting my son."
The call was quickly disconnected. Qiao Wanwan returned to her room, overwhelmed by exhaustion. She lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how much time had passed when my phone suddenly rang.
Qiao Wanwan is a light sleeper now, and she opened her eyes almost immediately.
She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and swiped to answer, "Jiang Dong."
“Madam, I have already inquired, and Master Zhan has not contacted anyone privately before this.”
"I understand, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not tiring, Madam. There's nothing much going on at the company today. You didn't sleep well last night, so please take a rest today."
"I'm fine." Qiao Wanwan glanced at her vibrating phone. "I have a call coming in, so I have to go now."
"yes."
Qiao Wanwan switched phones, her tone a little anxious, "Has something happened to Xiao Jiu?"
"Xiao Jiu is very good." Zhan Xiuwen's mocking voice came. "Qiao Wanwan, you're quite something. You anticipated that I would drain the Dijing Group, so you transferred a lot of money from your accounts, is that right?"
Qiao Wanwan picked up the water glass from the bedside table, took a sip, and said slowly, "I have three children, and a bunch of people in my family are working. The monthly expenses are nearly ten million. If we don't prepare now, are we just waiting to starve to death with nothing?"
Zhan Xiuwen sneered, "I'm warning you, from now on, if I find out that you've misappropriated even a single penny of the Dijing Group's money, then Xiao Jiu won't be living the good life she's in now."
Qiao Wanwan slowly clenched her fist over her phone. "Zhan Xiuwen, all you can do is threaten me. You have no other skills."
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhan Xiuwen said indifferently. "What a pity. I can control you and the Dijing Group with such a small skill... By the way, I am very interested in the new real estate project developed by the Dijing Group. You should arrange for it to be handed over to me as soon as possible. Only the Dizun Group is qualified to take on such a big project."
After Zhan Xiuwen finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
Qiao Wanwan suppressed her anger and tried to calm herself down before calling Jiang Dong.
"Madam," Jiang Dong answered quickly.
Qiao Wanwan raised her hand to press her temples. "Zhan Xiuwen already knows about my asset transfer."
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Jiang Dong said, puzzled. “This matter is strictly confidential. Apart from me, only senior executives in the finance department know about it.”
"So you mean the group's systems were hacked?"
“That’s even more impossible,” Jiang Dong said with certainty. “The world’s top hackers are all at the Imperial View Group. It’s absolutely impossible for them to be hacked.”
“I know, that’s why I think there’s a traitor. Investigate him. The Imperial View Group won’t tolerate a traitor.”
"yes!"
