Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Chapter 109

when the two of them showed up at kong mingze's hotpot restaurant late at night, kong mingze was utterly bewildered, his eyes reflecting a kind of innocent cluelessness.

he was busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron, when suddenly these two showed up!

what time was it even?

what was going on?

after escorting them to a private room, kong mingze took off his apron and sat down with them, asking, "what do you want to eat?"

quan zhisui replied, "just something simple."

now that the three of them were sitting together, she felt a sense of security.

at this moment, quan zhisui finally understood why wei shixu hung out with kong mingze.

after the adrenaline and anger had subsided, seeing kong mingze's silly demeanor was genuinely relaxing!

pure friendship like this was one of the few sources of warmth in this city.

kong mingze asked, "why have you two graced us with your presence so suddenly? my esteemed investor and distinguished vic?"

wei shixu replied, "the illegitimate child is causing trouble again."

kong mingze flared up, "is it that zuo zichen kid again? hasn't he been beaten enough?"

quan zhisui chimed in, "another one. this one's on a whole different level. zuo zichen almost had his eyes gouged out by that illegitimate child."

kong mingze was stunned, "good heavens! how many illegitimate children are there? what on earth is going on? the zuo family is such a mess!"

quan zhisui rubbed her face and looked at wei shixu, "i have to thank you again today."

as soon as she said it, she regretted it. she was afraid wei shixu might say something like, "how are you going to thank me?" or "give me a kiss," right in front of kong mingze.

fortunately, wei shixu simply reassured her, "don't overthink it."

the police and reporters had all been prepared in advance by wei shixu. all she had to do was send a text, and a swarm of people would immediately descend on the zuo family.

originally, this was a contingency plan, just in case. but who would have thought that quan zhisui would need it on her second day back at the zuo family?

she took advantage of the situation to make certain things public.

wei shixu handed her his phone, "here's the draft of the news article. take a look. if it's fine, we'll polish it and publish it on the front page tomorrow."

quan zhisui skimmed through it and nodded, "no issues here."

wei shixu asked, "are you ready?"

quan zhisui nodded, "i can't just sit back and do nothing. zuo zhiyu's secrets are tied to my mother, so i might as well reveal my identity. someone will come knocking eventually."

wei shixu smirked, "smart move, but this means you're entering the game now."

he knew quan zhisui had always wanted to stay out of the zuo family's affairs.

quan zhisui replied, "i won't be entering the game."

her choice, from the very beginning, had always been to flip the board over!

wait, you call the zuo family's four-story above-ground, two-story underground mansion with an elevator and four large suites on each floor a "small house"?

just how big is your home?!

but quan zhisui still shook her head, turning to look out the car window, "i still think it's not appropriate."

"wei shixu," quan zhisui spoke in the darkness, "i do have ulterior motives, but i keep my promises. i said i wouldn't touch you, and i won't."

besides, he couldn't beat her anyway.

quan zhisui: "..."

do you always have to be so direct?

she couldn't handle his bluntness!

wei shixu gestured to the driver without another word.

the driver immediately made a sharp turn, speeding toward the wei family manor!

at the same time, in another car, qian cheng began making phone calls to arrange everything.

everyone, get ready!

the young master is finally bringing a female classmate home to stay!

the entire wei family sprang into action, bustling with preparations.

at 2 a.m., wei jingsan was in the dining room sneaking a late-night snack, eating voraciously while playing a game on his tablet.

then he noticed the lights outside turning on, and a flurry of activity reminiscent of a certain day last year.

"qian cheng," he called out.

then he remembered that qian cheng wasn't around—he had gone out with his grandson for who-knows-what.

it was precisely because qian cheng wasn't there that he could sneak his snack so easily.

his health wasn't great, and qian cheng was very strict about his diet.

wei jingsan wiped his mouth and curiously peered downstairs.

before long, he saw wei shixu's two cars pull up, and his cold, ruthless, and scheming eldest grandson stepped out, assisting a young woman.

wei jingsan: "!!!"

well, well, the kid's finally showing his true colors, huh?

had he locked up some girl in the house for some twisted fun?

well, he was at that age, after all, with certain needs.

but starting off this extreme? really?

wei jingsan's expression was a mix of emotions too complex to describe. he tossed his napkin aside in disgust and waved dismissively at the people around him.

"get this out of here. i can't eat anymore—this is just sickening!"
