"Old Jiang, did I hear correctly?"
Lin Wanru looked at Jiang Shang beside her in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
She suspected there was something wrong with her ears, so she asked suspiciously to the phone that was on the video call, "Missing... missing what?"
The voice of housekeeper Liu Qin soon came from the other end of the phone again, "Replying to the chairman's wife, the young master has returned with the young mistress!"
"He's not even married yet, so where did the young mistress come from?" Lin Wanru was so shocked that she jumped up from her seat, her expression becoming a little dull.
Jiang Shang calmly took the phone from Lin Wanru and instructed the butler Liu Qin on the other end of the line, "Old Liu, check the background of the woman the young master brought back. Send the information back in half an hour."
"Yes." Liu Qin responded, and after the call was hung up, he quickly went to do his work.
At this moment, Jiang Shang looked at Lin Wanru with a serious face and said, "Don't make this matter public for now. Wait for news from Old Liu."
"Okay." Lin Wanru nodded, then asked, "If she is really my son's girlfriend, should we prepare some gifts in advance?"
"It's not too late to make a decision after confirming the other party's identity." Jiang Shang frowned and replied in a serious tone.
After all, not to mention the status of the Jiang family, there are also many young girls who are attracted to their son's appearance. It doesn't matter if he has a girlfriend, but when it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, he has to consider it carefully.
At the same time, Liu Qin was busy looking up information about Hua Qingcheng.
However, what surprised Liu Qin was that even though he used all the resources he could mobilize, he couldn't find any information about this Miss Hua. It was as if this person didn't even exist in this world.
Liu Qin couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, muttering to himself: "What the hell is going on?"
In desperation, Liu Qin could only call the city and explain the situation in detail.
"What? Can't find anything?"
Jiang Shang stared at his phone screen in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing. As one of China's top entrepreneurs, Jiang Shang's business acumen and judgment had always been sharp, but at this moment, he was in deep confusion.
Jiang Shang's brow furrowed, a hint of doubt in his eyes. His voice was filled with doubt. "That's impossible! Our Jiang family has connections all over the country. How could we fail to find anything when we're just checking one person's background? Check it again!"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to sense Jiang Shang's dissatisfaction and quickly responded, "Okay, Chairman, I'll arrange for someone to re-investigate right away. However, this may take some time, so please be patient."
After Jiang Shang hung up the phone, his expression remained grim. He sat on the sofa in his study, gazing out the window at the bustling cityscape, his mind racing. This sudden news unnerved him, for he knew that someone whose background was so elusive that even the Jiang family's connections couldn't uncover must have an unusual identity or background.
After Jiang Shang hung up the phone, Lin Wanru couldn't help but become curious. She nudged her husband beside her and asked, puzzled, "Old Jiang, how come our son, who just a year ago was clamoring for not getting married, having children, and staying away from women, has suddenly changed his ways? And who is that girl who was brought back to the Qingyun Mountain villa?"
Jiang Shang narrowed his deep eyes, as if deep in thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke, "She's so mysterious. Perhaps there's only one possibility. She's like our son—a person who was handed over to the state. Otherwise, with the connections our Jiang family has, how could we not find out even a little bit about her when we just want to investigate her?"
Hearing this, Lin Wanru also felt that there was some truth in it, so she nodded slightly and sighed, "This is troublesome. Our son is already a military member. If the other party is also a military member, their marriage will be a dead end. I was thinking of letting Yun Ting meet Feng Jiayu, the eldest daughter of the Feng family who has returned from abroad, but now it seems that this plan may be difficult to succeed..."
Jiang Shang patted his wife's hand gently and said soothingly, "Wanru, don't be so pessimistic. You have to understand that our son is a big shot. It's impossible to expect him to follow the path you've laid out for him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have refused to study finance abroad. Instead, he would have attended a military academy in China and become an officer in the special forces. At the age of 20, he was already one of the top physicists and chemists in the country. Wasn't the laboratory in the Chengbei Military Region built specifically for him by the military?"
Lin Wanru said leisurely, "It is precisely because our son is so outstanding that I have to strictly screen the candidates for my daughter-in-law."
Jiang Shang soothed him, "Our son has finally decided to get married. Don't discourage him. The day after tomorrow, let's go back to the Qingyun Mountain Villa in the east of the city. Perhaps the girl is also a well-educated daughter from a wealthy family. If he likes her and you're happy with her, wouldn't that be perfect?"
"Well, that's all we can do for now." Lin Wanru nodded helplessly.
On the other side, in the Jiang family villa in Qingyun Mountain, east of Beijing City, Hua Qingcheng walked into the room after taking a shower.
Upon entering the bedroom, Hua Qingcheng was immediately captivated by the scene before her. The room was spacious and bright, decorated in a luxurious and elegant style, exuding a sense of nobility. The most eye-catching feature was the oversized bed, covered in gorgeous sheets and pillows, appearing cozy and warm.
Hua Qingcheng couldn't wait to walk to the bed, and with a light jump, she threw herself on the bed. Like a happy little bird, she bounced a few times on the bed, feeling the elasticity of the mattress.
