Chapter 124: Sufficient Confidence

Xiao Yunzhe closed the door, waved his hand in front of her: "Honey, what are you thinking about?"

"Yun Zhe, I think Dad this time isn't just simply letting you go find someone."

"He wants to test you; otherwise, with his great ability, he could have sent anyone, but he specifically sent you—he probably wants to see if your handling ability is up to the task." Geng Jing Shu analyzed.

Xiao Yunzhe listened, also nodded in agreement: "Right, that's exactly what Dad meant; I hadn't thought that much before, hehe, wife, you're still the smartest."

"Yun Zhe, you're always carefree; you going alone worries me, let me go with you."

The next day.

At dawn, Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu got up and went downstairs; their luggage had been packed the day before, while everyone else was still asleep. After a simple breakfast, Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu set off for Yun Cheng City.

"Sir, the Young Master and Young Madam have already set off."

After they left, Butler Xi came to Xiao Ming's bedroom to report.

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Ming nodded and gave a faint smile.

Geng Jing Shu was right; this time going to find someone is actually Xiao Ming wanting to test Xiao Yunzhe—otherwise he would have just hired a private detective.

If Xiao Yunzhe successfully passes this test, Xiao Ming can gradually hand over his business to Xiao Yunzhe.

……

Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu finally arrived in Yun Cheng after over five hours of travel.

On the way, Xiao Yunzhe booked the best hotel in Yun Cheng, the Imperial Peace Hotel; he had reserved its most luxurious sea-view room, and the hotel's service was exceptionally attentive. As soon as Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu stepped out of the high-speed rail station, a woman in Imperial Peace Hotel uniform walked up to them.

It turned out the hotel had sent a dedicated car to pick them up.

Earlier, Xiao Ming had given Xiao Yunzhe a card worth several million; with money in hand, and this time he was accompanied by his girlfriend, he naturally couldn't shortchange his girlfriend and himself.

Soon, Xiao Yunzhe and Geng Jing Shu arrived at the Imperial Peace Hotel in the hotel's car.

Just looking at it from the outside, this hotel is super luxurious.

Afterwards, the hotel staff led the two to the room he had previously booked, Room 666.

Upon entering the room, Geng Jing Shu was instantly stunned by its luxury: "Goodness, Yun Zhe, this room is so magnificent, and you can even see the distant sea."

Geng Jing Shu and Xiao Yunzhe had never before stayed in such a luxurious hotel.

Xiao Yunzhe's family is also quite luxurious, but the luxury of a home and that of a hotel are two completely different concepts.

Previously, Xiao Yunzhe lived at society's bottom, just eating a slightly upscale hot pot and having to count the cash in his pocket—let alone staying in such a luxurious hotel.

"As long as you're happy, honey." Xiao Yunzhe embraced Geng Jing Shu from behind, and the two leaned against each other while gazing at the sea outside.

"Mm-hmm, happy, so happy." Geng Jing Shu happily kissed Xiao Yunzhe.

Xiao Yunzhe came to look for his little grandfather; originally he had no other thoughts, but when Geng Jing Shu suggested coming together last night, he decided.

He definitely needs to be found, but he and Geng Jing Shu have been together for many years; now Geng Jing Shu even has his child, yet he never took her out to play.

Yet Geng Jing Shu still loves him wholeheartedly; thinking about it, he owes her quite a lot.

Perfect—this trip to find his little grandfather also serves as their love trip, combining leisure and business without conflict.

As for finding someone, nowadays it costs money; who would go searching the mountains and wilderness alone?

"Honey, I've thought it all through." Xiao Yunzhe held Geng Jing Shu and sat her on the balcony, then told her his plan.

"On the way here, you're also pretty tired; you take a nap first, rest up, then we'll go to Dad's hometown to inquire about the situation, see if we can find any clues—if we can, that'd be best; if not, we'll discuss later."

"If there are no clues, then when we get back we'll hire a detective to find the person—they're far more professional than us; we could even hire a few more to boost efficiency."

Seeing Xiao Yunzhe arrange everything so orderly, Geng Jing Shu felt relieved and nodded: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Seeing Xiao Yunzhe's growth, Geng Jing Shu was quite happy; since Xiao Yunzhe recognized his father, his entire demeanor has been rapidly changing—at first glance he even has Xiao Ming's magnate aura; truly, a tiger father has no dog son!

Previously, Xiao Yunzhe always hesitated, but that wasn't his fault—mainly because back then he was dirt poor, scared of poverty, afraid of failure and mistakes.

Indeed, money really is a good thing; Xiao Yunzhe's current boldness comes from Xiao Ming's vast wealth and his affection for the three siblings, giving him ample confidence.

At this rate, Xiao Yunzhe will soon be able to achieve his life dream!

Geng Jing Shu was already pregnant; she was also tired from the journey. After discussing with Xiao Yunzhe what to do next, she rested for two hours before setting off with him to Xiao Ming's hometown.

This time they didn't drive themselves; instead they went to Imperial Peace Company and borrowed a Land Rover!

"Just to find a person, do you really need to drive such a nice car?" Geng Jing Shu muttered helplessly.

"Honey, I'm now a spoiled brat spoiled by Dad; after driving those luxury cars he gave me, I can't stand ordinary cars anymore, hehe!"

"Besides, we're here for little grandfather, representing our dad; Dad is now a famous millionaire—this is a triumphant return home. If I drove a shoddy car, word would get out and Dad would lose face." Xiao Yunzhe said confidently.

"Driving a Land Rover may not be especially great, but to ordinary folks it's already very luxurious. Seeing little grandfather, seeing us able to drive such a car, he'll surely be pleased; moreover, it will give little grandfather more face before the neighbors."

Xiao Yunzhe said while opening the car door for Geng Jing Shu to get in.

"Fine, fine, you're right." Geng Jing Shu laughed and cried at his big reasoning.

Soon, the two arrived at Xiao Ming's hometown, Dingdu Town in Yun Cheng City; at the village entrance, Xiao Yunzhe had Geng Jing Shu drive ahead while he got out and went door-to-door inquiring about little grandfather Xiao Shan.

"Uncle, is there anyone named Xiao Shan around here?"

"Twenty years ago he was from here, but later I heard he left—do you know where he went?"
