“Your meaning!”
Wan Yunting looked at Li Guohao and said, "You mean we should start with the Dongxing triad and obtain evidence of Young Master Leng's drug trafficking?"
Li Guohao nodded and smiled, "Xu Jianqiang of Dongxing had quite a few conflicts with Young Master Leng's forces back then, especially three years ago. Their forces even had a shootout, and many people died. However, the Dongxing triad was suppressed by Young Master Leng, and many territories were taken by Young Master Leng."
"But Xu Jianqiang is a very righteous person. In order to secure more benefits for his brothers, he has been competing with Young Master Leng these past few years."
"Therefore, Xu Jianqiang should have evidence of Young Master Leng's drug trafficking!"
Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling exchanged glances. Listening to Li Guohao, it seemed like a feasible plan!
"Do you have a way to introduce us to this Xu Jianqiang?" Wan Yunting asked.
Li Guohao replied, "I can. Whether he can help you or not is another matter!"
Wan Yunting nodded, "If it really doesn't work out, I'll think of another way."
"Then I'll make an appointment with Xu Jianqiang now, and we'll go meet him then."
Li Guohao nodded and got up to get his phone. Thinking of something, he called out to Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling, "You guys go to the restaurant and have breakfast first."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Li."
Wan Yunting nodded, then he and Niu Qiuling got up. Led by a servant, they arrived at the restaurant. In the open-style Chinese and Western kitchen, Li Shuyun, dressed in martial arts attire, was accompanying a woman in her fifties wearing a casual printed dress. She was dignified and elegant, with a very good temperament, and looked very similar to Li Shuyun. It was her mother, Cheng Qiuhe.
"You must be Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling."
Seeing them enter, Cheng Qiuhe gestured towards the dining table and said with a gentle smile, "Please sit down for a while. Breakfast will be ready shortly."
"Okay, thank you, Madam."
Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling nodded politely. Cheng Qiuhe smiled, "Old Pang introduced you, so please don't be formal. Make yourselves at home. Shuyun, take the pastries to them."
Li Shuyun, who was helping out nearby, nodded, picked up the pastries, and placed them in front of Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling. "Enjoy."
"Thank you."
Niu Qiuling smiled at her. Wan Yunting didn't stand on ceremony, picked up a pastry, and took a bite. His eyes lit up, and he smiled at Li Shuyun, "Pumpkin cake, it's delicious! Did you make it?"
Li Shuyun shook her head slightly, "My mom made it."
"Auntie is truly amazing."
Niu Qiuling ate without regard for her image, then noticed Li Shuyun's gaze fixed on Wan Yunting beside her. This made her feel suspicious, wondering what their relationship was.
"Shuyun, the porridge is ready. Come and bring it over."
Cheng Qiuhe called from the kitchen. Li Shuyun finally withdrew her gaze from Wan Yunting and turned to enter the kitchen.
"Hey..."
Niu Qiuling immediately nudged Wan Yunting's shoulder with her own and asked, "Do you know each other?"
Wan Yunting, eating the pumpkin cake, glanced at her, "How is that possible."
Niu Qiuling didn't believe him. "Then why does she look at you strangely?"
Wan Yunting looked at Li Shuyun, who came out of the kitchen with a pot of porridge, and smiled without speaking, making Niu Qiuling even more confused and curious. Seeing that the man wouldn't say anything, she was annoyed and stomped hard on Wan Yunting's foot, causing the man to glare at her. "Are you crazy?"
"Hmph."
Niu Qiuling rolled her eyes at him, thinking that Wan Yunting wanted to flirt with Li Shuyun, so she felt jealous.
Cheng Qiuhe came out with bowls and chopsticks, smiling, "We'll just have some porridge for breakfast. What else would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."
"No need, Auntie, this is enough!" Niu Qiuling got up, took the bowls and chopsticks from Cheng Qiuhe's hand, and said with a sweet smile.
"Alright, then you guys eat first."
Cheng Qiuhe smiled gently, but Wan Yunting noticed her abnormal complexion and asked, "Auntie, have you not been sleeping well lately?"
Cheng Qiuhe was taken aback, looking at Wan Yunting in surprise. She was bewildered by his sudden question, but Wan Yunting continued, "Do you have a dull ache in your lower abdomen?"
This time, Cheng Qiuhe was shocked. "How did you know?"
Li Shuyun frowned, looking at Wan Yunting, then at her mother. She knew nothing.
"Auntie, he's a Chinese medicine doctor." Niu Qiuling, who was serving porridge, immediately said.
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Auntie, you haven't been to the hospital for a check-up yet, have you?"
Cheng Qiuhe and Li Shuyun were surprised that he was also a Chinese medicine doctor. Cheng Qiuhe smiled, "I just have some discomfort in my stomach, so there's no need to go to the hospital for such a troublesome check-up. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
But Wan Yunting waved his hand, "Auntie, you can't be侥幸. I'm diagnosing you by observing your complexion. This illness of yours is not light. Let me feel your pulse."
Hearing this, Cheng Qiuhe's expression froze. Li Shuyun on the side raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you really a doctor?"
Wan Yunting smiled, knowing she didn't believe him. "If Auntie doesn't believe me, you can go to the hospital for a check-up. Hmm, go to the gynecology department!"
This made Cheng Qiuhe and Li Shuyun look at each other, unsure whether to believe him.
Just then, Li Guohao walked in and said with a smile, "Little Wan, I've already made an appointment with Xu Jianqiang. I'll take you to meet him later."
"Alright, Uncle Li."
Wan Yunting turned and nodded at him. Li Guohao saw his wife Cheng Qiuhe's expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Qiuhe, who had just snapped back to reality, shook her head slightly and said with a smile, "Nothing."
Li Shuyun, standing nearby, said lightly, "Mom, I'll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up later."
Cheng Qiuhe looked at her, "Don't you have something to do at the martial arts school today?"
Li Shuyun glanced at Wan Yunting and said, "I'll go in the afternoon."
Cheng Qiuhe nodded and said nothing more, turning to go back into the kitchen to continue preparing breakfast...
Li Guohao ate breakfast with Wan Yunting, chatting casually. He had scheduled the meeting with Xu Jianqiang for ten o'clock in the morning at his company.
"Let's go, Little Wan."
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Guohao took Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling directly to Xu Jianqiang's company.
As the biggest boss in the underground forces of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Xu Jianqiang not only had connections in both legitimate and illegitimate circles but also controlled a port for export trade. Therefore, Xu Jianqiang's influence and wealth were immense.
Jianqiang Group was located in Kuala Lumpur's commercial district, a sixty-plus-story skyscraper.
Li Guohao led Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling directly into the building. As they had been expected, a female secretary dressed in an OL outfit immediately greeted Li Guohao, "Mr. Li, our Mr. Xu has been waiting for you in his office for a long time."
"Okay, take me up."
Li Guohao nodded. After all, he was also a businessman and had dealt with Xu Jianqiang and cooperated with him in business before.
The secretary glanced at Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling without saying anything, then invited them to take the elevator directly to the chairman's office floor. She led them to the office and asked Li Guohao to wait a moment. The secretary knocked on the door and announced their arrival. A deep voice from inside said, "Come in."
"Mr. Li, please come in..."
The secretary opened the office door. Li Guohao turned and nodded to Wan Yunting and Niu Qiuling, leading them into the luxuriously decorated office...
