Chapter 497: Lest the night be long and dreams many

Wei Sixin endured the resentment in her heart and solemnly promised Officer Wang.

Officer Wang watched Wei Sixin walk into the distance, recalling the task assigned from above. He still needed to find one more person; in fact, Qu Caifeng, who had just arrived, was the most suitable.

But Qu Caifeng was not only serving a three-year reform sentence but was also under key supervision.

It was definitely impossible to release her early.

He would have to let her think of another way.

He had originally thought the task would be easy to complete, but who could have imagined that Lu Qiaoge's side seemed as solid as a fortress.

Whether it was slandering her or ruining her, it seemed difficult to find a way in.

If nothing else worked,

he would request that those above send a killer to eliminate Lu Qiaoge directly, lest the night be long and dreams many.

……

Meanwhile, suddenly reminded of an old friend, Luo Ziwen could no longer remain calm.

A multi-million dollar order could no longer keep him focused.

How close this place was to his old home.

Crossing the river and climbing over the hillside was his old home.

If he could travel freely, he would want to go back and take a look right now.

He wondered how Su Lan was doing now?

He was an ungrateful bastard!

After running here, he had simply acted as if he were dead, automatically blocking out his engagement to Su Lan.

Yet, for some time now, he had been feeling restless.

Luo Ziwen strode toward the outside, instructing his secretary as he walked: "I want to go to President Zhen's foreign trade company."

The secretary immediately arranged for the driver to bring the car around. By the time they reached the main entrance, the car had already arrived.

They traveled swiftly and soon reached President Zhen's foreign trade company.

At this moment, Zhen Xi was in his office, while his secretary was in the adjacent office organizing Luo Ziwen's files.

The receptionist said that Zhen Meili's husband, Luo Ziwen, wanted to see him.

Zhen Xi felt a shock in his heart. What did this mean? Could Luo Ziwen have found out?

But the secretary hadn't even finished organizing the files, and he hadn't called Lu Qiaoge yet, so why had Luo Ziwen come already?

How was he supposed to tell Lu Qiaoge?

Zhen Xi still maintained a calm expression as he had the receptionist lead Luo Ziwen to his office.

Regardless of anything else, this was Zhen Meili's husband.

Zhen Xi greeted him with a smile: "I should call you brother-in-law. It's just a pity that this seems to be our first meeting."

Luo Ziwen naturally knew about the relationship between Zhen Xi and the Zhen family.

He also knew that Chairman Zhen's family relationships were very complicated.

After some polite pleasantries, Luo Ziwen said cautiously: "The business with the other side is doing very well; I look on with some envy."

Zhen Xi raised an eyebrow: "Come to think of it, brother-in-law, you are also from the other side. Although you've been here for over a decade, people always say it's hard to forget one's homeland. Haven't you thought about going back for a look? Actually, if you were to do business with the other side, it would be much smoother than for me."

Luo Ziwen smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Zhen Xi, there are some things you don't know, and even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. I want to go back, but I can't."

Zhen Xi frowned: "Then why have you come to me? What do you want to say?"

Luo Ziwen clenched his hands and asked softly: "Zhen Xi, do you have any plans to go to the other side recently?"

Zhen Xi: "That's hard to say. If I were to go, I would have to apply for the itinerary in advance."

Luo Ziwen felt a bit envious.

This was the result brought about by different statuses.

When Zhen Xi went to the other side, he was hosted according to the standards for foreign guests.

"I want to entrust you with a private matter. If you go to the other side and happen to stay in Nancheng, could you help me inquire about someone?"

Zhen Xi smiled half-heartedly: "Brother-in-law, the person you want me to inquire about wouldn't happen to be a woman, would it?" He paused here and added: "Although we don't interact often, I do know that your Luo family members all seem to be in Hong Kong."

Luo Ziwen smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Help me inquire about a woman named Chu Sulan. We are from the same village. My old village is called Tianshui Village, on the banks of the Longhu River..."

Zhen Xi couldn't keep up the act anymore.

He suddenly widened his eyes, looking at Luo Ziwen in great surprise.

Luo Ziwen looked at him, not understanding why.

Zhen Xi looked at him several times, then picked up the telephone receiver and said: "Secretary You, come here for a moment."

Putting down the receiver, Secretary You walked over in a few steps and opened the door to enter the office.

Then she saw Luo Ziwen, and Secretary You couldn't help but be surprised for a moment.

Zhen Xi said directly: "My brother-in-law came to ask me to help him inquire about a woman named Chu Sulan. Isn't it a coincidence? A young boy named Luo Aijun entrusted me to help him inquire about his father, Luo Ziwen, and his mother is named Chu Sulan. Their old home is also in Tianshui Village on the banks of the Longhu River. Could it be the same person?"

Hearing this, Luo Ziwen's brain exploded with a 'boom' at that moment.

He had been sitting on the sofa, but now he couldn't help but stand up.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Secretary You's face was full of smiles.

"President Luo, that's right. Our President Zhen received a call from Factory Director Lu on the other side. A young boy named Luo Aijun wants to find his father, and his mother is named Chu Sulan. They are currently living in Jiangcheng."

"I think this matches your information perfectly."

"Of course, although I feel you are the biological father Luo Aijun is looking for, I must be cautious here. What if it's not? What if it's just someone from the same village with the same name?"

"After all, in our parts, many people in one village share the same surname."

"So this must be handled with caution; otherwise, disrupting someone's family peace would be a sin."

Secretary You pushed up her glasses: "Looking at your reaction, it should be him."

Luo Ziwen felt as if his heart had stopped beating.

"Can you tell me... are they doing well now?"

Luo Ziwen lost his composure.

It had been so long since he had felt such an inability to control his emotions.

Ever since he had fought his way through life and death to build his own career.

He had already rushed to Zhen Xi's desk, his hands gripping the corners of the desk tightly, staring fixedly at Zhen Xi, the veins on his forehead seemingly throbbing.

But he knew very well in his heart that this Luo Aijun must be his son.

When they parted, Su Lan was already pregnant.

At the time, they had agreed that regardless of whether the child was a boy or a girl, they would be named Aijun, because their lives had been saved by the People's Liberation Army.

But why were they in Jiangcheng?

Why did his father-in-law's family leave Tianshui Village?

How long had they been in Jiangcheng?

How far was Jiangcheng from Tianshui Village?

It was practically worlds apart.

How did she and his parents-in-law get to Jiangcheng...

Countless questions surged wildly in Luo Ziwen's heart.

He felt as if his brain was about to explode.

Zhen Xi shook his head: "They are not doing well now. Chu Sulan has gone insane, and Luo Aijun's maternal grandparents passed away long ago. Now, only he and Chu Sulan are left to depend on each other."

Luo Ziwen felt a pain in his chest and suddenly widened his eyes.

Insane? Su Lan went insane?

There was no more time to think about so much. Luo Ziwen looked at Zhen Xi with bloodshot eyes and pleaded in a hoarse voice: "Zhen Xi, can you find a way to bring the mother and son over?"

As he said this, Luo Ziwen pressed down on a corner of the desk, somewhat nervously.

But suddenly, he froze.

His fingers had touched something.

So he bent down and looked under the table... ===== CHAPTER 498 =====
