The next day.
There was no class on Saturday, so Chi Beibei took this opportunity to take Xueqiu to the detective agency.
That place was a bit far from the villa area, but Chi Beibei, who was already a multi-millionaire, was not stingy and arranged a car in advance.
She did not forget to collect evidence of the adoption, and specially chose a relatively reliable private detective agency in the circle. It is said that it has the support of a big boss and its information network can even extend overseas, but the fees are a bit expensive.
After arriving at the door of the institution, Chi Beibei hesitated for a while, feeling a little unsure. She didn't know much information, and she wasn't even sure about the specific time and location of the adoption.
Chi Beibei took out the old safety lock and looked at it in a trance.
"Host, are you thinking about the possibility of finding your family?" Although the host has always said that her parents may be gone or don't want her, it knows that the host actually still longs to have real relatives.
"Let's find the orphanage first." As for whether her family members might still be alive, she didn't dare to think about it.
Chi Beibei made up his mind and stepped into the door.
Not far away, a black extended version of Cayenne was parked. After Chi Beibei turned around and walked in, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing a pale and handsome face.
There was an indelible haze between his brows, and a hint of morbid madness flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go and see what she wants to find out."
Under the guidance of the staff, Chi Beibei interviewed a detective named Qiu Jinghui.
Qiu Jinghui is dressed in ordinary clothes and has an unremarkable appearance. He is the type of person who would go unnoticed if he stood in a crowd. Such a person is very suitable to hide in various places and collect information.
"Hello, please sit down, just call me Old Qiu." Qiu Jinghui crossed his legs leisurely. He could tell at a glance that Chi Beibei was only in her teens and the clothes she wore were very cheap. He thought she was a curious little girl who came in to take a look, so his attitude was not warm.
"Hello, Mr. Qiu, my name is Chi Beibei, and I would like to ask you to help investigate the information about me adopted by Chi Feng, the chairman of the Chi family."
Qiu Jinghui's feet stopped shaking. It turned out to be the second daughter of the Chi family. He had heard some bad rumors about her, so he didn't recognize her for a moment.
It turns out that rumors cannot be fully trusted.
Qiu Jinghui thought about it and made a gesture, indicating Chi Beibei to continue speaking.
"I was adopted about 16 years ago, but I'm not sure which orphanage I was adopted from." Chi Beibei pushed the peace lock and childhood photos to Qiu Jinghui.
"Don't limit your investigation to Beijing." Based on her understanding of Chi Feng, he would most likely adopt her from an orphanage in another city to avoid being recognized by others.
There is no need to go through so much trouble. Qiu Jinghui kindly reminded: "Miss Chi can look up relevant information at the local civil affairs office."
"I was not adopted through normal procedures." She directly replaced Chi Mingchu's identity, and the civil affairs agency did not even have a record of it, otherwise she would not have to go through so much trouble.
To adopt a child, one needs to submit various certification documents, be investigated and questioned, and even have to publish an announcement in the newspaper. However, Xia Shuyu, as Chi Feng's wife, was completely unaware of this. It is very likely that Chi Feng used his power to take her out of the orphanage.
Fortunately, according to the novel, she was indeed a child in an orphanage before being brought back to the Chi family by Chi Feng.
"As long as I can find the orphanage and prove that I am an orphan, it will be fine." This way, I won't have to worry about Chi Mingchu saying that her "biological parents" maliciously swapped the children.
Without going through the legal procedures, even Chi Beibei's personal information may not be available, and there may not even be an approximate geographical location. She might have been adopted abroad. Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?
This matter was a bit tricky. When Qiu Jinghui was about to politely refuse, Chi Beibei said, "I can pay you a deposit of one million first, and then give you another one million after the matter is done."
Qiu Jinghui sat up straight immediately. The general detective fee ranged from several thousand to tens of thousands. Although the agency he worked for charged a relatively high fee, it was still only about 100,000 yuan.
This girl was really generous, giving him two million right away. If he could successfully complete the task, his life would be much better in the second half of his life.
Although the information he had was limited, it was not completely impossible to find, Qiu Jinghui tried hard to convince himself.
"Okay, I'll take this mission."
"Thank you, Mr. Qiu." After signing the agency agreement, Chi Beibei happily transferred one million to him.
"Mr. Qiu, please find out about the orphanage within a year."
"Okay, I will do my best." Qiu Jinghui readily agreed. In order to get the two million as soon as possible, he would help Miss Chi get all the information even if he had to stay up all night, eat or drink.
The matter was finally settled, and Chi Beibei left the detective agency with brisk steps.
Snowball felt a little sad: "Host, two million is much higher than the market price!" How many delicious foods can you buy with that!
"My case is a bit troublesome, but two million is still worth it." Chi Beibei didn't care. "This money can make Mr. Qiu more concerned. Besides, finding evidence earlier can save a lot of trouble."
"Yes, it will be bad if it affects the host's college entrance examination." Snowball obviously also thought of what happened in the original book at the beginning of next year. Compared with money, of course, it is more important to get into Beijing University.
As long as you complete your learning tasks successfully, money is a small problem.
"Snowball, let's go to the bookstore together." Chi Beibei still remembered that she had promised Snowball to take him to the bookstore and buy him some storybooks and comic books.
As long as they can go out and have fun, Snowball can go anywhere and there is nothing he won’t agree to.
At the same time, Qiu Jinghui started working non-stop after Chi Beibei left. He sorted out the information currently at hand, and then locked the city that Chi Feng visited that year based on the time provided by Chi Beibei.
As the former CEO of a listed company, business trips were a common occurrence for Chi Feng, especially when the Chi family's company was still on the market that year, and Chi Feng traveled almost all over the world.
Just as Qiu Jinghui was having a headache looking at the densely packed place names, his assistant rushed in: "Brother Qiu, the Second Master is looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Jinghui put down the documents in his hand without thinking, and followed his assistant to the president's office on the top floor.
Mr. Xiao is the owner of a detective agency. Initially, his purpose was to monitor the side branches, but later it gradually evolved into obtaining information about competitors. He also hired some detectives to take orders and make money, but he usually hides behind the scenes and seldom comes to the agency.
Qiu Jinghui was just a diligent little detective. He was very nervous when he was suddenly summoned by Mr. Xiao Erye.
This second master made Xiao's family big in just a few years. He is no simple character.
It is said that there is a life on his hands.
After entering the office, Qiu Jinghui didn't dare to breathe, and called out cautiously, "Second Master."
