Mr. Xu frowned upon hearing this.
He looked at Zhou Xuan and Xiao Chenyi, then after a moment of silence, sighed and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. However, I expect you to ensure safety and not leak even a shred of information about an."
"Master, please rest assured, we will certainly do that," Zhou Xuan replied with a nod.
Xiao Chenyi also chimed in, "That won't be a problem."
Mr. Xu pondered for a while and then nodded.
Xiao Chenyi stated, "I've confirmed with Zhou Xuan that Qiu Wenlong is indeed ill, otherwise, he wouldn't be having people research a resurrection pill.”
"Such elixirs are mere legends. Hmph, Qiu Wenlong is afraid of death," Xu Tianhua sneered.
He continued, "Since that's the case, you two should cooperate well!"
Xiao Chenyi nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, please don't worry, we will act according to the plan and will absolutely not disappoint you."
"Chenyi, I have one more matter to discuss with you," Zhou Xuan said immediately, interrupting Xiao Chenyi after he finished speaking.
"What is it?"
"I'd like you to help me get an introduction to the highest-ranking founder of the command center, Old Fan."
Xiao Chenyi raised an eyebrow and looked at Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu also looked at Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan said, "I need you to help me find information on people on a list."
Zhou Xuan took out the information they had previously gathered on retired personnel from another team led by Qiu Wenlong, specifically key individuals, and handed it to Xiao Chenyi.
Xiao Chenyi scanned the documents and asked, "What do you intend to do?"
Zhou Xuan replied, "I want you to use the public relations network to send people to find them, bring them back, and let us handle them ourselves."
Xu Tianhua frowned and asked, "Xiao Xuan, why are you looking for these soldiers? How do you plan to deal with them?"
Xiao Chenyi explained, "Mr. Xu, I suspect Zhou Xuan intends to investigate those involved back then to see if anything suspicious was uncovered.”
Zhou Xuan nodded in agreement.
Xu Tianhua remarked, "You might be overthinking it. Since Qiu Wenlong dared to do this, he likely wouldn't have left any traces.”
Zhou Xuan, however, shook his head. "Master, you think too highly of him. As long as someone has done something, there will always be traces.”
"But so many years have passed…”
"That's why I want to bring them back. Conveniently, my Zhou family's group of companies needs talent. Recruiting them wouldn't draw much attention, and perhaps a breakthrough will come one day.”
Zhou Xuan was not about to miss any opportunity that could benefit him.
Xu Tianhua looked at Zhou Xuan approvingly and patted his shoulder.
"Good! Good! I, an old man, am no match for you young folks.”
Xiao Chenyi also approved of Zhou Xuan's plan. He said, "Old Fan hasn't involved himself in worldly affairs for many years.”
"He's seventy-five now and resides at the Tianyang Sanatorium. I'd need an appointment just to see him, let alone you.”
"That difficult?"
"Of course. A founder is akin to a founding elder. Their importance is beyond our comprehension.”
"Unless, he needs something from you.”
"However, as it stands, Old Fan is in excellent health, and there are so many experts at the sanatorium…”
As Xiao Chenyi spoke, he actually looked at Zhou Xuan and smiled.
"Aren't you good at medicine?"
Zhou Xuan looked at Xiao Chenyi and asked, "How do we do it?"
Xiao Chenyi pondered for a moment and said, "We need a fake identity to conceal our true intentions, and the Qiu family would be the best choice.”
"Old Fan would likely not refuse a divine doctor recommended by the Qiu family.”
Zhou Xuan nodded. "Alright, let's go with the Qiu family."
…
Meanwhile.
In Eagle Country, at Pearl Manor.
an sat on the sofa, smoking a cigar.
Several bodyguards stood behind him.
an inquired, "What is Qiu Yunfeng's current situation?"
A bodyguard in black respectfully replied, "He has been apprehended and is currently detained in the manor's prison."
an nodded in satisfaction and said, "Excellent!"
“These people all think we in Eagle Country have no one. If we don't make them suffer a bit, they really think they can play deaf and mute. Tell them, this year I want to see double the funds in the accounts.”
“It seems that if that dragon wants to rise, I’ll just suppress him.”
At night.
The streetlights illuminated the city, and its prosperity began to awaken. Various vehicles drove slowly along the streets.
At this moment, in a low-key black Mercedes-Benz, Qiu Wenlong sat in his seat, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
Beside him sat Qiu Yuanhang, the head of the Qiu family.
Madam Qiu, Li Huihui, and their daughter Qiu Yuelian were visibly intimidated by the atmosphere in the car, their expressions grave.
"Father, I truly don't understand why I have to be the one to handle this again," Qiu Wenlong said through gritted teeth.
Qiu Yuanhang replied, "This matter is unusual and requires caution."
"Hmph!"
"If it weren't for that woman, I would have dealt with him long ago," Qiu Wenlong cursed hatefully.
He was interrupted by Qiu Yuanhang as soon as he finished speaking.
"Enough!"
"She is your sister!~"
“Besides, she hasn't done anything out of line. You're already this old, yet you're getting angry with young people. Are you losing your mind as you get older?”
Qiu Yuanhang reprimanded sternly, "This matter is not as simple as you imagine. If you dare to have even the slightest mischievous thought, I will be the first to not spare you."
"Dad, why are you siding with outsiders?”
“If I hadn't been quick enough to delete those videos from the trending searches, my position would be compromised.”
"That was an accident. Yuelian made poor choices in friends, which led to this situation," Qiu Yuanhang said.
Qiu Wenlong clenched his fists in anger.
"Zhou Xuan is Xu Tianhua's disciple. The two of them are in Shangjing. I don't believe there's nothing going on.”
Qiu Yuanhang rubbed his temples, deeply disappointed in his son.
However, as he was once the one who controlled the lifeline of District Fifteen, he patiently told Qiu Wenlong, "If they aren't making any other moves, you shouldn't attack them proactively. Besides, you haven't cleaned up your own mess.”
“If you corner them, and the situation escalates, who will suffer more – you, or these barefoot individuals?”
What Qiu Yuanhang said was not without reason.
Qiu Wenlong fell silent.
Then Qiu Yuanhang turned to Qiu Yuelian and said, "Don't think it's good that your mother and I indulge you just because you're back in the country.”
“From today onwards, you must stay away from your so-called good friends and stay home to accompany your mother.”
Qiu Yuelian, facing her imposing grandfather, dared not show any pampered expression and nodded obediently.
“And your credit cards and other cards, I've instructed your father to freeze them all. You'll get them after three months, depending on your performance!”
Oh God!
Zhou Xuan, Lu Linger, you two scoundrels!
I want you dead!
Despite being so angry that she wanted to cut both of them down, Qiu Yuelian restrained herself.
However, the sharp nails of her fingers had pierced her palms.
