Unlike the warm welcome Fan Xiaofan received upon returning home, when Shi Lingheng returned, his mother's first instinct upon seeing him was to exclaim, "Son, what happened to you? You've become so ugly!"
Then, with a particularly melancholy expression, she called out loudly to her husband, who was pouring water in the kitchen: "Honey, come here quickly..."
She was genuinely worried because her son had disappeared without a trace during this time, and he was only focused on his work.
Both families had noticed the signs of their son and Xiao Fan getting together and were happy to see it happen. However, every family prefers pretty boys, and what if their son became so ugly that he was rejected? After all, he was their own flesh and blood.
Shi Lingheng: "..."
He said it was better to be self-sufficient. He quietly took the teapot from his father and poured himself some water. He was tired and thirsty from the long journey. When he got home, he was not only looked down upon, but he also couldn't get any water.
Shi's father patted his wife on the shoulder with amusement to comfort her. After all, she was his own son, and he brought him some food from the kitchen.
After resting at home for two days, Fan Xiaofan went to the research institute. The new car has now entered the market. After her last visit, the car factory did not become complacent because of the success of the first batch. On the contrary, they were determined to make progress and did not ignore the small problems encountered by the car on the road. They were not afraid of change...
Shi Lingheng was recommended by Mr. Wu once, and then disappeared again.
Mr. Wu's lips twitched upon hearing this. "This guy is hopeless? Why is it so hard to get you from being unemployed to having a proper job?"
I'm so angry I don't want to talk to anyone.
After Shi Lingheng returned to Beidu, while everyone thought he was doing nothing again, he had actually secretly met with Ruan Jiu and Steward Fu.
When he left temporarily, he had already instructed them to continue investigating the movements of the person behind the scenes. He refused to believe that the person would remain completely still and not reveal anything. Any clue, any action taken...
Butler Fu had suffered a great physical pain in the past, and he was also getting old. Now he was somewhat lacking in energy and should have been resting properly. However, when he learned that Fu Weidong had almost gotten into trouble, he was determined to get involved. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get proper rest.
"Gentlemen, have you heard anything from me in the past six months since I left Beidu?"
Butler Fu and Ruan Jiu exchanged a glance and nodded. Although their sources of information differed, they both possessed genuine expertise...
Moreover, Butler Fu was holding back a lot of anger. He originally thought he had avenged the young lady's death, but judging from the current situation, there was clearly another reason.
As for Ruan Jiu, he had narrowly escaped death back then, and the death of his elder brother Shi Lingyun was of utmost importance to him. How could he not do his best...
The two investigated the Ruan family openly, while the Fu family's influence remained covert.
"Mr. Shi, this is the information we obtained after confirming it with each of us..."
Butler Fu handed it over, and Shi Lingheng opened it, quickly reading through it before sneering, "I didn't expect it to be him..."
Ruan Jiu crossed his legs and sneered, "Back when we were classmates, I knew that brat was no good..."
Shi Lingheng raised an eyebrow, looking at the black and white photo in his hand. The man in the photo had his hair slicked back in black and white, looking very energetic. He wore glasses and looked extremely refined. He always had a harmless smile on his face. Who could guess that it was him?
“Yun Mingyao…”
Back then, Ling Heng, Ruan Jiu, and Yun Mingyao were students in the same class.
