"Last year, something happened and I didn't get promoted. What about you? Are you leaving after you arrived? Did you complete the task the Mister gave you?"
This person called Xiao Yu was actually a burly man with stubble, and he was not young.
The reason they called each other like this was due to the rules of the Flying Dragon Gang. Anyone below the rank of Vice-Leader started with the prefix "Xiao".
Uncle Yi heard him mention the task and felt a bit awkward. "Half and half, it's not entirely successful, but I've gained another kind of harvest."
"Another kind of harvest? What do you mean?" Xiao Yu scratched his head, not understanding.
Uncle Yi smiled and refused to elaborate. "I still need to see the Mister. I'll tell you next time."
Some things could not be said just by meeting someone, even to old friends.
"You better go quickly!" Xiao Yu immediately snapped back to attention upon hearing this and urged him to leave.
Keeping the Mister waiting was something they didn't want to do and live.
Uncle Yi nodded, said nothing further, and turned to go see the legendary Mister.
"You're back? Did you handle what I assigned you?" The Mister was an elder of about sixty or seventy years old, dressed in a grey long gown, holding a dragon-headed cane, exuding an imposing aura.
"N-no, not yet." Facing the Mister, Uncle Yi's expression was more serious than ever.
"Then why did you come back?" The Mister's face instantly clouded over upon hearing that the task was not completed.
Uncle Yi was startled and didn't dare to breathe deeply. Trembling, he said, "Zhang Liunian's wife was captured and brought here by the younger brother of the Zhu Family Gang Leader. I came with him."
"His wife was captured and brought to Port City, why are you here to see me?"
The Mister didn't care who Zhang Liunian's wife was or if her life was in danger. He only cared about when Zhang Liunian could dominate the country and become the nation's top conglomerate.
"Because I discovered that his wife looks very much like the Madame." Uncle Yi knew he would face questions by coming to see the Mister now, but he had to. If Jiang Qingqing had a connection to the Madame, it would be a great achievement, and perhaps he wouldn't have to complete that task after all.
"Oh, looks very much like her? How much like her?" The Mister became interested when he heard that Zhang Liunian's wife resembled his Madame.
If he remembered correctly, the Madame did have some relatives still in the country, but she rarely spoke of them, so he hadn't helped her search.
He hadn't expected Zhang Liunian's wife to resemble his Madame; this was quite surprising.
It was possible that this person might indeed be the Madame's relative in the country. If so, he couldn't let anything happen to her.
"According to the portrait at the Mister's home, she looks at least eighty percent similar. I boldly guess that Jiang Qingqing might be the Madame's lost relative, which is why I came to see you."
Uncle Yi noticed this the first time he saw Jiang Qingqing, but it had nothing to do with his task, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.
This time, when Jiang Qingqing appeared and Zhang Liunian was coming to Port City, he thought of bringing this information to try and see if Jiang Qingqing might be related to the Madame. If they were related, the Mister would rescue her without Zhang Liunian having to act.
This way, Zhang Liunian would also be safer.
Uncle Yi hadn't realized that he was subconsciously considering Zhang Liunian's well-being, and had long regarded Zhang Liunian as one of his own.
"Eighty percent similar? Are you exaggerating?" The Mister became even more interested. If she was truly eighty percent similar, he wouldn't need any tests to confirm that Zhang Liunian's wife was definitely his Madame's relative.
After all, given his Madame's appearance, if there were no blood relation, it would be absolutely impossible for them to look so alike.
"I wouldn't dare to exaggerate. She is indeed that similar. If the Mister doesn't believe me, he can look at this photo."
Uncle Yi took out the photo Zhang Liunian had his wife and daughter take together and handed it over.
When the Mister took it and looked, his expression changed instantly. Too similar! This Jiang Qingqing was indeed eighty percent similar to his Madame. There was no doubt that the person was his Madame's relative.
As for the little one in her arms, she also gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
"Who is this little girl?" the Mister asked Uncle Yi, staring at the photo.
Uncle Yi immediately replied, "She's a daughter Zhang Liunian picked up and brought home. She should be from the Tang family in the South City."
"The Tang family? I remember, I have a girl around the same age as her by my side who also looks very similar to her and is also surnamed Tang. Could they be twins?" The Mister suddenly thought of something and immediately suspected their relationship.
Uncle Yi was stunned. A girl of Hua Bao's age, also similar-looking and surnamed Tang, wasn't that the one the Tang family sent to Port City?
So, Hua Bao and that girl, who was Tang Shitong's daughter?
"What are you thinking about?" The Mister saw Uncle Yi suddenly lost in thought, his expression changing, and asked.
Uncle Yi snapped back to attention and hurriedly said, "I'm thinking about which of these two girls is Tang Shitong's daughter."
"Tang Shitong?" The Mister was not familiar with matters in the South City, nor did he understand the people of the Tang family. All he knew was the Tang family girl by his side.
"He's from the Tang family in the South City. They had several brothers. Six years ago, two of the brothers had daughters simultaneously. One was lost, and one was sent away. The one Zhang Liunian found was the lost one. Moreover, Zhang Liunian and the Tang family are mortal enemies," Uncle Yi briefly explained the relationship between Zhang Liunian and the Tang family.
The Mister's expression became subtle. Zhang Liunian and the Tang family are enemies? Then he had actually helped the Tang family. It seemed he had to let the Tang family girl go. He was bored after playing for so long and couldn't make things difficult for Zhang Liunian.
"I see. It's very easy to find out. I've just introduced a batch of equipment that can perform paternity tests. We just need a small blood sample from both individuals."
The Mister didn't take such matters to heart. However, thinking that Zhang Liunian seemed to dote on this daughter, he might care about this aspect, and he didn't mind helping him a bit more.
After all, he was the one who would take over his position in the future, so he had to show him some consideration.
"Really? I'll tell Liunian about this later."
Uncle Yi was very happy for Zhang Liunian upon hearing this.
"Yes. As for Jiang Qingqing's matter, tell me in detail. What is her current situation?" The Mister didn't mind his subordinate looking out for Zhang Liunian. Little Yi was originally sent by him to Zhang Liunian. Seeing that Little Yi could sincerely consider Zhang Liunian's interests now only proved that he had not misjudged the person.
"I don't know how the Zhu family found out that Jiang Qingqing was Liunian's weakness, so they had the Zhu family design a plan to bring her to Port City. I think they might want to threaten Liunian into giving money and his life. They are currently with the Zhu Family Gang." Uncle Yi was very pleased to see the Mister planning to act and quickly explained the situation.
The Mister looked at the photo in his hand, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I understand. You continue to handle Zhang Liunian's affairs, but don't let him go to his death.
In an hour, I can ensure that Jiang Qingqing and the others appear before Zhang Liunian unharmed. You also don't need to bring him to me; we will meet in another way."
