"The old master of the Lu family personally made a phone call to the fourth son's boss."
When Chu Wuyan mentioned the Lu family, his expression was rather complicated.
"If I keep pressing the issue, do you think the Lu family might not be able to save Xu Fen?" Lin Xiaoxiao raised a conjecture.
She was somewhat curious about the Lu family's influence in Beijing.
Chu Wuyan shook his head, "Old Master Lu is an old revolutionary with a firm stance. No matter what, the higher-ups will have to give him some face."
Despite the current uproar from the leaders, Old Master Lu's wisdom lies in his unwavering stance, leaving no room for others to take advantage.
Therefore, the Lu family remained unscathed in Beijing during the exceptionally severe political movements of the past few years.
If it wasn't brought down in previous years, it's even less likely to happen these days.
Lin Xiaoxiao clicked her tongue, somewhat annoyed.
"Once or twice is acceptable, but not a third time. Xu Fen has already escaped from me twice."
The first time, Qin Jinye took money and got the person back.
The second time, the Lu family used the old man's connections to get her out.
The third time, she wanted to see who dared to bail her out.
Chu Wuyan didn't ask her why she was dealing with the Lin family, but he knew that she was just an adopted daughter of the Lin family.
So he made a suggestion: "If you want to find your biological parents, you can get clues from the Lin family, and we'll help you investigate."
It happened twenty years ago. Finding out the details isn't exactly difficult, but it's not exactly easy either.
With the Chu family's connections and strength, it's only a matter of time before they find out.
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then finally shook her head. "Never mind."
Twenty years have passed, things have changed, and who knows what the situation is like in the family of one's biological parents now.
What if she and Luo Qingming really were abandoned?
She and Luo Qingming are doing quite well now, so there's no need for her to create trouble for herself.
Chu Wuyan nodded. "Okay, just let me know if you need anything."
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "How's the investigation I asked you to do?"
"What is it?" Chu Wuyan was a little confused. He thought about it carefully and wondered when Lin Xiaoxiao had ever asked him to investigate something.
Seeing that his mind was completely blank, you could tell he had forgotten everything.
Lin Xiaoxiao reminded him, "Yang Huaizhou."
"Ah, this, this..." Chu Wuyan was still confused, but the next second it was as if he had been suddenly struck by a pressure point, and an awkward smile froze on his lips.
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. "They've probably already gone back to the US."
Yang Huaizhou returned to China under the guise of visiting relatives.
So much time has passed; the person has probably long since disappeared from Chinese soil.
Chu Wuyan: "...I really forgot."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't press him further and changed the subject, "Forget about it, but I heard you're no longer with the Counter-Espionage Division?"
"How did you know?" Chu Wuyan asked reflexively.
"That's what your Director Han said." Han Xiu casually mentioned it, but Lin Xiaoxiao kept it in mind, and had basically confirmed his identity.
Chu Wuyan sighed helplessly, "Uh... I'm no longer in the Counter-Espionage Division."
Seeing that he wasn't going to say anything, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't press him. "Alright, it's getting late. How about we have some food before we leave?"
With so much mutton, how long would it take her and Qin Yu to finish eating it?
Chu Wuyan shook his head, "My second aunt's brother-in-law is coming to Beijing. He'll arrive by train in an hour. I have to go pick him up. Let's have dinner another time."
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced around the house and didn't have anything worth giving away. After thinking for a moment, she went into the bedroom, took out a small bottle from her spatial storage, and found a dozen green pills inside.
"This medicine nourishes the body and strengthens the body's foundation. It can be given to the elders in the family, one pill a month."
"This is too valuable." Chu Wuyan dared not accept it.
The medicine Lin Xiaoxiao took out was not the ordinary kind.
It is precisely because it is extraordinary that it cannot be measured by money.
Lin Xiaoxiao shoved it into his hand, saying, "It's not for you, and you can't eat it."
Chu Wuyan: "......"
He felt he could be even more shameless, saying, "Then give me something I can eat."
He stared longingly at Lin Xiaoxiao, blinking his eyes like a puppy, without a trace of embarrassment in his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao's face scrunched up in disgust. "What are you doing with that handsome face of yours?"
He has a handsome and aloof appearance, but he insists on developing in the direction of a comedic man.
Chu Wuyan chuckled, "Compared to the medicine in your hand, nothing else matters."
"No." Lin Xiaoxiao coldly rejected his request.
He couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark, "Why are you thinking about taking medicine at such a young age?"
Chu Wuyan: "......"
Okay, if you don't have it, you don't have it.
Holding the medicine given to him by Lin Xiaoxiao, Chu Wuyan happily skipped away.
He was once again impressed by his father's wisdom; half a sheep had been exchanged for so many pills. No wonder he was the head of the Ministry of Commerce; he really knew how to do business.
After Chu Wuyan left, Lin Xiaoxiao began to prepare the mutton.
In the dead of winter, a meal of mutton stew with radish or traditional Beijing-style hot pot with mutton would be incredibly comforting.
Thinking of Zhu Yuqi next door who had been making rat-man figurines these past two days, Lin Xiaoxiao thought she should make hot pot instead.
When making hot pot with mutton, the best cuts are the upper brain, large three-fork, and small three-fork, as these cuts are tender and have a good balance of fat and lean meat.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to cook, she knew how to eat. Following her memory, she sliced the mutton into thin slices, and prepared the broth for Qin Yushen when he returned.
Meanwhile, Chu Wuyan, after receiving the person, couldn't wait to return to the compound.
As soon as you enter, you can smell a rich aroma of mutton.
