Although Liu Jingye blamed Zhang Jintao for driving General Zhou away, at this point, Liu Jingye couldn't just give up. Even if General Zhou left, Liu Jingye had to make amends to the end!
"Brother Zhixin, I'm really sorry. My brother-in-law is from the countryside and is ignorant. He frightened General Zhou. It's our fault." Liu Jingye said humbly.
"Director Liu, please sit down." Zhou Zhixin did not respond to Liu Jingye's words, but instead invited them to sit down and talk.
"Okay, okay." Liu Jingye saw that there was no smile on Zhou Zhixin's face. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he still pulled Zhang Jintao and the two of them sat on the sofa opposite Zhou Zhixin.
"Uncle Liu, Comrade Zhang, please have some tea." Guests are welcome, so Zhou Yuanyuan will not fail to observe the proper etiquette.
"Thank you, thank you. This is Yuanyuan's niece, right?" Liu Jingye was really flattered when he saw Zhou Yuanyuan bringing them tea.
"This is my daughter Yuanyuan, and this is my future son-in-law, Wen Ziqing," Zhou Zhixin introduced them to Liu Jingye, his tone full of pride. Wen Ziqing wasn't wearing his military uniform today; in casual clothes, he looked dashing and captivating.
"A match made in heaven, a match made in heaven!" Liu Jingye complimented loudly. His job meant he had access to a wide range of information. He knew everything about Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan's engagement, the Wen family background, and Wen Ziqing's transfer to the Northern Military Region as the new regiment commander.
To be honest, Liu Jingye is really optimistic about Wen Ziqing. Not to mention that his grandfather is the famous Cao Yunfei, and his grandfather Wen Yiran is also a well-known figure in Kyoto. More importantly, Wen Ziqing himself is a very outstanding young man. The marriage between the Zhou and Wen families is icing on the cake for both parties.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing smiled at each other. Liu Jingye really knew how to talk. It was worth all their hard work on Liu Meiling's matter last night.
"Brother Jingye, regarding your daughter's matter, I received your call yesterday and immediately arranged for Ziqing to come back. This child is an honest person. She just returned to Kyoto City last night and didn't even go home. She went to the bar to do a field investigation." Zhou Zhixin saw that Liu Jingye's attitude was very good, and his expression improved a little. He also changed the way he addressed Liu Jingye from the distant "Director Liu" to "Brother Jingye."
"Oh my! Thank you so much, Zhixin! I just said it casually, but I didn't expect you to take it so seriously. Thank you for your hard work, Ziqing. When you have time, come to my house for a meal. My Fanghua is a great cook." Liu Jingye couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he heard Zhou Zhixin's words. To express his gratitude, he even invited Wen Ziqing to his house for dinner.
Liu Meiling disappeared inexplicably. As a father, how could Liu Jingye not be anxious?
Liu Jingye was surprised, but also relieved. He'd come to the Zhou family today to apologize, not only to avoid antagonizing them, but also to try his luck and see if Zhou Yuanyuan could spare some time from her busy schedule to follow up on the case. If that wasn't possible, Liu Jingye would ask General Zhou for special approval to have the Special Operations Team intervene. After all, the longer Liu Meiling remained missing, the less likely her safety would be.
Besides the No. 1 leader, only General Zhou had the authority to approve the Special Operations Team's intervention. It wasn't that Liu Jingye couldn't ask the No. 1 leader for help, but he was incredibly busy, and Liu Jingye didn't want to disturb him unless there was absolutely no other way. Besides, since General Zhou already knew about this, Liu Jingye figured it would be better to focus on General Zhou rather than on two people.
"Yuanyuan was at the bar last night, along with Zhu Xiaojun from the Zhu family. The kids were busy most of the night, and I haven't even had time to ask them if they've found anything!" Since Zhou Zhixin had offered his help, he was sure Liu Jingye would remember the favor. The Zhou family wouldn't do anything that would only lead to resentment.
Liu Jingye's expectant gaze shifted from Zhou Yuanyuan to Wen Ziqing. Seeing neither of them look joyful, he felt a sinking feeling in his heart. But no matter what, it was a fact that they had helped. Even if he hadn't found Liu Meiling, Liu Jingye should have thanked them.
"Meiling has been missing for such a long time. Even if she can't be found, it doesn't matter..." Liu Jingye's throat was a little choked. His Meiling was only eighteen years old! Her beautiful life had just begun, was it going to end like this?
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but soften her heart as she watched Liu Jingye's genuine feelings. No matter how slippery Liu Jingye was, she believed that his love for his daughter was absolutely genuine.
"Uncle Liu, we have found some clues about Liu Meiling's whereabouts, but we haven't made much progress yet, so it's not convenient for us to make any promises to you." Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan signaling him to speak, Wen Ziqing had to explain to Liu Jingye.
Before finding Liu Meiling's people, Wen Ziqing couldn't tell Liu Jingye: Liu Meiling was "swallowed" by a pendant? Such weird things can't be taken as the actual result.
Of course! If Liu Meiling really couldn't come back, Wen Ziqing would still have to use the Chaos Pearl's "Time Rewind" video to get back to the team. But at this moment, it was clearly not that step yet.
"Ah? That's good to have a clue, that's good to have a clue." Liu Jingye was a little surprised. Previously, the Public Security Bureau and the Security Bureau were dispatched to investigate, but they couldn't find a single clue. Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan took action, and in just one night, they found a clue. This is a good thing!
"Brother Zhixin, thank you so much! Thank you so much! Brother Zhixin, you are so lucky. Your daughter is so talented, and you must have found a son-in-law who is also a top-notch man!" Liu Jingye's face was filled with a big smile. Liu Jingye really didn't expect Zhou Zhixin to go to such lengths to help. He just didn't want to give up, so he called Zhou Zhixin to mention it.
Looking at the manipulative Liu Jingye, Zhou Yuanyuan was filled with admiration. No wonder Liu Jingye had been promoted so quickly in recent years. Besides his excellent work ability, his interpersonal skills were also a big part of the reason.
After all, no one likes to be ignored for their efforts. Zhou Yuanyuan and the others had just started their investigation, and before they even found Liu Meiling, Liu Jingye was already filled with gratitude. Even if the help was a little tiring, it was still a relief!
"Dad, Brother Ziqing and I are going upstairs. Please let me know if you need anything."
After explaining Liu Meiling's situation, Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing still slipped away. There was no way they could do anything about it. Faced with Liu Jingye's excessive enthusiasm, Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were a little uncomfortable.
