Su Chen frowned. After doing some thinking of his own, he continued, “Can you roughly confirm where the numbers are from?”
Mu Yuchen sipped some tea. “There are two that I’m suspecting. One is from Australia while the other is from City Z. If our hypothesis is correct, then Qi Feng should be hiding in Australia or in City Z.”
“Leave the searching to Ah Mo and Zimo.” Su Chen then said, “It shouldn’t be City Z. It’s ridiculous that he’s not been found so near us after so many years.”
Qi Lei sighed, and his eyes darkened suddenly. “He should be in Australia!”
“How so?” Mu Yuchen glanced at Qi Lei as he asked while refilling Qi Lei’s cup.
Qi Lei waited for a moment before smiling bitterly. “I heard that the old man frequently makes calls to Australia. I thought it was business-related, but now that I think about it, he should’ve been contacting Qi Feng.”
Qi Lei remembered Qi Qiming was displeased when he interrupted the calls. In retrospect, he should have been in the midst of calling Qi Feng. Qi Lei also happened to catch the phrase “Australia” in some of the conversations.
Su Chen’s eyes darkened as he looked at Mu Yuchen and saw he was just playing with his teacup. He grabbed the teacup and asked, “What do you think?”
“I agree with what he said. From Ah Bo’s investigations, Gu Lingsha frequently visited Australia.”
Mu Yuchen then picked up his phone and dialed a number. It was Ah Mo who received the call.
“Master?” Ah Mo’s voice came through.
“Focus the investigations on Australia, and try to get information on everyone that came into contact with Gu Lingsha in Australia. Pack up and fly there tomorrow night. Bring Lingshi with you as well. I’ll send the exact details and information to your computer later.” Mu Yuchen’s calm voice reached him.
Ah Mo was in his car parked near the entrance of Imperial Sky Entertainment Club. Recently, he would be there to pick Mu Lingshi up after he was done with work.
“Master, are you saying that Qi Feng might be in Australia?” Ah Mo straightened up and asked.
“I’ll depend on you guys to find him. I don’t like the word ‘might’.”
“Yes, Master!”
“Go back and pack up. I’ll get Li Si to book flights for the two of you. Head back to the Mu residence tomorrow and let Grandfather know Lingshi and you are traveling to Australia. Grandmother is with me and I’ll send her over tomorrow. Try not to grab too much attention. Just act as if you guys are going for a honeymoon. Fly to France first and then plan your routes from there onwards. Understand?”
Qi Qiming was very strong at anti-spying, so Mu Yuchen had to be careful since it was only possible to find something by doing it on their own.
“Yes, Master!”
…
Qi Lei was impressed by Mu Yuchen’s attention to detail. He had it all figured out. That way, they would definitely avoid Qi Qiming’s attention. Moreover, Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi were getting along well, so Qi Qiming would never suspect that their honeymoon trip to France would be an investigation of Qi Feng in secret!
“Does Ah Mo have enough people?” Su Chen refilled Mu Yuchen’s cup. “I might need to send some subordinates abroad for training. Australia might be a good choice. If there’s a need, I can put the applications in.”
“Too many people might catch too much attention. Just the two of them will be fine. You’ll attract a lot of attention, thus it’ll be subtler if we transfer them via France. Just leave this to them,” Mu Yuchen replied as he glanced over at Qi Lei who had been quiet. “Master Qi, do you have anything to say about this?”
Qi Lei came back to his senses when Mu Yuchen mentioned his name. He took a deep breath and pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. His darkened eyes were filled with exhaustion. “What can I say about this? I just hope that you guys will let me know when Qi Feng is found. Alright, Master Su, you don’t need to look at me like this. You know how my relationship with that old man is. If I can find out anything from him, I would’ve known where Qi Feng is by now. Even Shasha…”
“From what you’ve said, it’s a tragedy to have a father like him.” Su Chen shrugged his shoulder and threw Qi Lei a pitiful glance.
“I’m used to it. It’s not really that tragic. I have food to eat, clothes to wear, and money to spend. This is the life I want, so don’t spare me those pitiful glances. I don’t need them!” Qi Lei put on a grin as he said in a calm tone, “As for Shasha, I’ll keep an eye on her. I’ll do my best to minimize her interference.”
“You’re really concerned about her!” Su Chen glanced at Qi Lei, trying to tease him.
“I don’t want to explain about Shasha too much. I won’t defend her if she’s indeed wrong. What I can do now is to monitor her. I got a confirmation from my mother that Shasha will be joining Qi Kai after she’s recovered. She might be involved in the South River Project. I don’t know what this means, but you can find out about it yourself. By the way, can I have the doc.u.ment with the samples? I’ll be abroad tomorrow onwards.” Qi Lei put down his tea cup and stood up slowly.
“I’ve spoken to CEO Shen from Fu Hua. He wants to meet you next week. Will you be back by then?” Mu Yuchen stood up and handed the folder to Qi Lei.
“CEO Shen wants to see me?” Qi Lei looked surprised.
“He’s interested in the doc.u.ments you submitted, so he wants to talk to you personally.”
“Alright, I’ll try to get back before then. It’s getting late now and I’ll be heading back now. Call me if you need anything!” Qi Lei then started walking towards the door.
“I’ll head back too. Let’s talk again when Zimo gets back.” Su Chen stood up as well.
…
When they went downstairs, Xi Xiaye and w.a.n.g Hui were sitting on the sofa watching the TV. She stood up when she saw the few of them coming down.
“Xiaye, stay home with Grandmother. I’ll send them home. Hand me the car keys, please.”
