Liu Zhizhong pretended to be slightly surprised: "Oh, so the plans have changed, huh?"
Zheng Xitong stood up and said: "Yes, they have. You should rest early, I'll also go back to my room to sleep."
"Mr. Zheng, I can't accompany you to Yunxi the day after tomorrow, but I do need to head to Yunxi myself then."
"Oh?" Zheng Xitong was slightly puzzled and smiled: "It's fine! I didn't plan for you to accompany to Yunxi anyway! But if you're going to Yunxi, you can catch a flight with if it's convenient."
Liu Zhizhong felt much relieved; although there was a conflict now, I had the final say!
He imdiately said: "Mr. Zheng, I have to drive there, I can't take a flight, you can do as you please."
"Haha... Fine, drive then! You can use any car in the garage, even Sanjing's car."
"No, I'll drive my own car because I have company."
Zheng Xitong was quite curious and sat back down, "Who is it? Your family or a friend?"
Liu Zhizhong didn't hide anything, being honest might be his best weapon in navigating between powerful families.
He could feel there was so tension between the Qian and Zheng families, evident from Qian Long not accepting the Chu King Seal tonight.
So, he decided to be honest with both sides, which might be more beneficial to him. It's not unusual to play both sides these days!
Thus, Liu Zhizhong disclosed the situation about Qian Xuan and his god sister.
Zheng Xitong was suddenly enlightened, nodding: "I see, it's her mother's death anniversary, she should definitely go back."
"Gan Ling? Isn't she..." Liu Zhizhong was stunned.
Zheng Xitong smiled and said: "Her real na is Gan Ling. No matter what she goes by now, it's a false na for protection. What happened back then, she was still in college, truly innocent. Her parents, too, were innocent to so extent. But there's no choice; for powerful people, staying out of trouble is the best policy. Politics carries risks."
Liu Zhizhong nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Zheng, I learned a lot."
"No need to be polite. If you want to play politics, play carefully and steadily. Our situation is different from Gan Ling's family."
"Understood, I'll rember that..."
Back in his room, Liu Zhizhong sat on the sofa, not wanting to sleep just yet.
Zheng Xitong was indeed deeply enigmatic. He hadn't revealed so of his true thoughts. Liu Zhizhong sensed sothing was off but couldn't pinpoint it.
But now, he had acknowledged him as a father; what else could he do? Take it step by step.
He thought for a mont and quickly took out a delicate device from his briefcase.
The device was quite small but could monitor the radio patterns in the environnt, it was an anti-surveillance technology gadget.
That evening, while talking to Qian Xuan, Liu Zhizhong ntioned that he had a well-decorated room at the Zheng Family's ho, which seed pre-arranged by Zheng Xitong. He felt uneasy. Before Liu Zhizhong could ntion his desire to check for bugs, Qian Xuan suggested he wait a mont, and brought him the device, suggesting he test it at ho.
Qian Xuan, having a military background, was quite fond of these gadgets, and fully equipped.
Now, Liu Zhizhong activated the device and began scanning.
Looking at the small screen displaying the results, he couldn't help but sigh: Brother Xuan really does care about , ah~~~
