At this time, in a courtyard in Kyoto.
The Third Master sat on the armchair, the cigar between his fingers emitting layers of white smoke, which enveloped the front, making his already indifferent expression even more difficult to discern.
"You said she is from the Su family in Kyoto?"
"Yes! I contacted many of our connections in the country, and found the same result. Moreover, the Su family had been missing for eighteen years and had just brought him home!" The subordinate reported.
"Have you checked the Su family's background?"
The subordinate shook his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "Most of the Su family's information is confidential.
We only know that the girl's mother is from Hai City. Commander-in-Chief Su met her when he was serving in Hai City, and they had three sons and one daughter.
However, as early as 17 years ago, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family passed away."
"Death! Mirage..."
When the Third Master heard this, he repeated two words in his mouth, and his eyes dimmed.
"Send someone to Hai City immediately. I want the detailed information of the Su family's eldest daughter-in-law. Don't let go of even a single detail!"
"Yes!" The subordinate obeyed the order, bowed and left.
The room suddenly became quiet.
The Third Master stared at the void outside the window with a sad face: "Xingxing, is it you? Why is it like this? I hope it's you, but I also hope it's not you!"
"Third Master!" At this time, another subordinate walked in, looking a little anxious.
"You've been with me for so long, and you're still so impulsive!" The Third Master glared at the visitor, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
"We haven't sold any of our products on the black market!"
"Oh?" After hearing this, the Third Master raised his head.
He knows the latest skincare products developed in his lab in Country M firsthand! They're now being sold in multiple countries simultaneously, and in some Western countries, there's even a frenzy of buying them!
Whether in packaging, taste, or efficacy, it is absolutely incomparable to the ordinary clam oil and vanishing cream available in China today!
Such a good product is unsaleable in the country?
The Third Master couldn't help but wonder: "Have you found out the reason?"
“There are two skincare products on the black market right now, a whitening cream and a moisturizer, and we bought both to experiment with.
The effect... the effect is not worse than ours! It’s even better than ours..."
As the subordinate spoke, seeing that the Third Master's expression was getting uglier, he swallowed the rest of his words and continued, "They sell it for one dollar less than us, and it's now being sold on the black market in several major cities, and it has a very good reputation."
"There's actually this kind of technology in our country?" The Third Master frowned and looked at his men, "Where does the supply come from?"
"It's...it's at Master Wu's place."
The subordinates knew that the person that the Third Master was most reluctant to mention was the Fifth Master! When he said this, he couldn't help but shudder.
The Third Master narrowed his eyes, as if talking to himself: "It seems that he is not completely useless these years."
"Where is their factory? Have you found out?" Mr. San asked after thinking for a moment.
"That's the weird thing! We searched everywhere but couldn't find the factory that produced these two products."
His subordinates looked confused.
When the Third Master heard this, he suddenly sneered, "This is fun!"
The subordinates stood there at a loss, even more puzzled, and somewhat unable to understand what the Third Master was thinking.
The Third Master took two sharp puffs of his cigar, exhaled the foul air from his mouth, and then ordered his men, "Send someone to keep an eye on Lao Wu's men and see who they are in contact with. Report any news immediately."
The subordinate understood what the Third Master meant and left quickly.
It was already dark, and the lights were off in the room. The Third Master exhaled a puff of smoke and rubbed his aching temple.
Back then, he witnessed the tragic deaths of his godfather and the eldest son, and the Lan family's fortune collapsed in an instant! Before their spirits, he swore a vow! He would never allow the Lan family to decline, and would rebuild it in his lifetime!
Now, he is nearly sixty years old, and the headaches that have tormented him for years have become more severe recently! He doesn't have much time left to wait.
The reason for taking the risk of returning to China this time was that I heard rumors that the authorities might relax economic controls, and I wanted to come back and test the waters.
The second reason is to obtain the assets and equity certificates stored in the Lan family’s overseas safes.
With those shares, he can control the Lan family's overseas companies. Combined with his thirty years of accumulation overseas, he believes that he can restore the Lan family to its former glory.

It was the first time Wen Guoer had been away from the three little ones for such a long time. As soon as she got home, she threw her things aside and rushed to the crib impatiently. After only one day apart, she missed these little ones so much!
"Mommy is back, are the babies good?"
When the three children heard their mother's voice, they turned their heads and looked at her with their big eyes blinking.
When Xiao Nuan saw her mother whom she hadn't seen for a day, she was surprised at first, then her mouth pouted and she cried out "Wow" and burst into tears.
Although Xiao Ling and Xiao Lie were confused and didn't know what was going on, they started crying too when they saw their sister crying so sadly.
For a moment, the room was in chaos.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Tang Zhan had just carried all the things from the car in when he heard his little girl crying at the top of her lungs. She put down the things in her hands and ran in.
"As soon as he saw me, he opened his little mouth and started crying! I never thought such a small baby could recognize people!"
Tang Zhan took the little girl from his wife's hands. Seeing her crying breathlessly, his heart ached! He leaned the little girl's head on his shoulder and gently patted her burp.
The little girl finally stopped crying. The two sons were just causing more trouble, and they stopped crying when their sister stopped.
Wen Guoer remembered the box given by Old Lady Lan, and found it after rummaging through the things Tang Zhanqi brought back.
There were three small gold bracelets in the box. Wen Guoer compared the small gold bracelets on the wrists of the three little ones and put them away. This could be regarded as the little ones accepting the old lady's kindness.
At this moment, Xiao Nuan was already laughing because of her father's coaxing.
Tang Zhan held his little girl in his arms, sat on the edge of the bed, and watched Wen Guoer packing her things. "Wife, do you think these three in our family are more sensible than other children of the same age?"
Wen Guoer heard this and thought about how her nephews behaved when they were this age in her previous life. She nodded:
"It seems so! Even though they can't speak yet, they seem to understand what we say! They're all so smart!"
When Tang Zhan heard that his wife thought the same thing, his heart skipped a beat.
He had long discovered that his wife was hiding many secrets. Although he didn't know what they were, he knew they were definitely not simple.
If the three children also inherit their daughter-in-law's abilities, there will probably be all kinds of trouble in the future.
