"Moreover, Ou Minghan is still in Country K. What if he kidnaps my parents and extorts me directly? He's absolutely capable of doing something like that!"
"Ou Minghan has already returned to the country," Qi Xuan said calmly.
"How could he come back so soon? Isn't he looking for Ye Qin Ya? Wait..." Suddenly, Ye Zhi seemed to recall something and asked with surprise, "Has there been any major change in the official circles of Country K?"
Qi Xuan was astonished, "How did you guess that?"
"It seems I guessed right?" Ye Zhi surmised, "I don't know much about Country K, but I know Ou Minghan! That person, Ou Minghan, won't give up until he finds Ye Qin Ya and completes that unfinished surgery! But for him to give up so quickly, he must have encountered an irresistible force. And you said he's already back; the only thing that could make him leave in such a hurry must be the official powers of Country K, right?"
"Precisely," Qi Xuan's gaze was filled with admiration mixed with helplessness.
With so little information, she could already deduce the truth. Had she invested all her points into intelligence? If only she weren't so biased in her subjects...
"What exactly is the situation?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.
Qi Xuan didn't hide anything from her. Regarding Ou Minghan's disturbance at the Royal Hospital, Qi Xuan's friend had directly reported the matter to the King of Country K.
The King of Country K was furious. A foreign capitalist, traveling such a long distance to stir up trouble in their country and cause such a commotion – what kind of spirit was this?
This was not just a slap on the wrist for the Royal Hospital; it was a direct insult to the King's face!
Moreover, the reason Ou Minghan could act with impunity in Country K was because he had spent a significant amount of money sponsoring a local faction. Coincidentally, that local faction had circuitous connections to the current Prime Minister of Country K.
The King of Country K had long been displeased with the Prime Minister. He seized this opportunity to question the Prime Minister and prepared to eradicate the entire faction of the Prime Minister.
No one expected that a heart transplant surgery would trigger a power struggle in Country K. Ou Minghan sensed that things were not going well. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew he couldn't contend with an entire country. Therefore, he immediately took Ou Tiantian and fled back to the country.
Qi Xuan said, "Country K is not only purging the Prime Minister's forces this time but also a lot of smaller factions. So, Country K is very safe now. You can completely let your parents go find people there."
Ye Zhi understood. The Country K forces related to Ou Minghan this time would inevitably be uprooted. Although Ou Minghan was merely a pretext for the power struggle in Country K, neither side would let him off the hook.
This was why Ou Minghan had run so fast. If he wanted to extend his influence into Country K again in the future, it would be impossible. Therefore, for her parents, Country K had become the safest place.
"Okay! Let them go to Country K!" Ye Zhi made up her mind and continued with some regret, "It's just that my brother's college entrance examination is coming up soon, and he can't go with them."
Qi Xuan nodded, "The college entrance examination is indeed important."
"That's right, unless the sky falls down... No, even if the sky falls down, I'll be there to hold it up. He must participate in the college entrance examination first! However," Ye Zhi pondered, "although the school he attends has a closed management system and outsiders cannot enter, I still need to go see their principal to strengthen the school's security."
Qi Xuan: ...
He suddenly felt a bit sorry for Ye Yu Zhe.
"Young Master, Miss Ye," the butler came to them, smiling and asking, "Have you two had enough fun? Would you like me to buy more fireworks?"
"No, thank you. I've had plenty of fun," Ye Zhi said with a smile. If she hadn't had enough fun, the neighbors would probably have come to complain.
"That's good," the butler said with a smile, but he frowned in confusion and muttered softly, "Why are these fireworks not quite the same as the ones I bought before..."
Ye Zhi immediately said with a guilty conscience, "It must be those manufacturers exaggerating for sales!"
"Really?" the butler became more confused, "But these fireworks are no worse than the ones I bought..."
"We bought quite a lot of fireworks, so it's normal for the seller to mix them up occasionally," Qi Xuan said calmly.
"Perhaps," the butler nodded, seemingly accepting this explanation.
Ye Zhi looked at Qi Xuan with admiration. He could say these things so nonchalantly, it was impressive!
"By the way, Young Master, didn't you say you had good news to tell Miss Ye earlier?" the butler winked at Qi Xuan.
Before Ye Zhi returned, Qi Xuan had mentioned to him that he had good news and planned to tell Ye Zhi in a couple of days, which he was sure would make her happy.
The butler was displeased. Good news should be shared as soon as possible, why wait?
Since Qi Xuan didn't want to say it now, he would help Qi Xuan out!
"What good news?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.
Qi Xuan gave the butler a helpless look and said faintly, "It's about Lian Xin. They have already developed 4G technology and are now preparing to transition to 4G..."
"Really?!" Ye Zhi was overjoyed, "This is indeed tremendous news! There are so many things I want to do, and now I can finally start... Oh! I'm so annoyed!"
"Annoyed about what?" Qi Xuan was taken aback and asked with some surprise.
"I'm annoyed that I'm not a heartless capitalist!" Ye Zhi said regretfully, "I really want to call all my employees to work overtime right now! Ah, forget it, it's the same waiting until tomorrow..."
Seeing her agitated expression, Qi Xuan found it both amusing and exasperating. He weighed his words and began to advise, "Ye Zhi, please calm down first. Although 4G technology has been successfully developed, it will take time to completely replace 3G. Laying 4G signal towers, upgrading existing communication equipment, and the iteration of mobile phones are not things that can be accomplished overnight."
"I know, I know," Ye Zhi nodded, "The construction of these infrastructure facilities will take at least two to three years. However, many things can be prepared from now on. Oh my, I'm so anxious, why isn't it dawn yet?"
The butler looked at Qi Xuan with a mournful expression. He thought Qi Xuan was going to share some other good news, but it turned out to be related to work!
He had clearly intended to foster their relationship, but he didn't expect these two to talk about work again.
Oh well, it was worth it to see Ye Zhi so happy. Besides, in a way, this also fostered their relationship?
Ye Zhi was as if injected with chicken blood, so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night.
The next morning, Ye Zhi, with dark circles under her eyes, arrived at Tao Xun early.
She called Chen Wei into her office and said directly, "Get ready, we're starting a new project."
