"No problem, you take your ti to chat." Although Ye Shikai was still a bit anxious, after all, Ghost and Gu Xin had been out of touch for a long ti. He believed that soon Gu Xin’s father, Gu Jian, and those colleagues in the hospital would report them missing. If he could act earlier, maybe he could find more clues. But he was a guest here, and dominating would only cause Zheng Ji’s displeasure.
Oh well, haste makes waste. Ye Shikai followed the waiter nad "Cheng." The Zheng family’s mansion was large, and unlike the traditional style of the Ji Family, the decoration here was more luxurious. Several halls were splendid, just like a grand auditorium.
What wicked capitalists...
Although, as Zheng Ji described, Ye Shikai held assets worth tens of billions, and even if he divorced and left empty-handed, the strong money-making ability of the Netherworld Palace could keep him on the world’s billionaire list, he never considered himself to be a wealthy person. Probably only during the divorce settlent did he clearly understand how much wealth he owned.
Since Zheng Ji could know his identity, it at least showed he had so skills. The Ji Family and Zheng Family intended to form an alliance, and Zheng Ji had a good reputation, being a gentleman full of grace and refinent. Building a good relationship with him might not be a bad thing.
"Mr. Ye, my young master instructed to ask you to wait here for a while, please don’t be anxious. I’ll go brew so good tea for you." The waiter nad Cheng led Ye Shikai to a conference room. Ye Shikai looked around. This conference room was larger and newer than the one where Luo Shiqi and Zheng Ji had talked, and even had antiques for decoration.
"No rush, I’m not in a hurry."
"Mr. Ye, please wait a mont, I’ll go brew so tea." Cheng nodded, turned, and left the conference room. Ye Shikai, feeling bored, took out his phone, only to see a ssage from Chen Yuxin.
"Oh no, I forgot to notify her." Ye Shikai patted his forehead in frustration. He initially planned to return to Yanjing in two days, but now faced a series of minor matters that forced him to delay, forgetting to notify Chen Yuxin. With her personality, she might overthink.
"Well, I should just call her." Feeling uneasy, Ye Shikai dialed the number.
"Hello, Kai, why haven’t you co back yet?" On the other end, Chen Yuxin sounded like a wife waiting alone at ho, full of grievances, leaving Ye Shikai at a loss for words.
"Xin, I encountered so issues here. I’ll return after a while. Let’s leave it at this for now." Ye Shikai finished speaking and hung up the phone. Since Chen Yuxin got pregnant, she had almost ignored matters outside, focusing on nurturing her child, though her personality was quietly changing...
"Oh, Mr. Ye, you were on the phone." A voice sounded behind him at this mont, and when Ye Shikai turned, it was Zheng Ji.
"I just finished." Ye Shikai smiled awkwardly, turned off his phone, and pocketed it.
"My apologies for keeping Mr. Ye waiting." Zheng Ji invited Ye Shikai to sit down, and Cheng brought in the tea.
"Hasn’t it only been twenty minutes?" Ye Shikai glanced at the clock on the wall. Including the ti to walk over, Luo Shiqi and Zheng Ji hadn’t even talked for twenty minutes before finalizing a cooperation agreent? Is business negotiation this hasty now...
"Miss Luo and I had already discussed most of the content earlier, and just did the final confirmation. She’s also a well-known figure in Yanjing and wouldn’t take advantage of in the contract, right?"
"Indeed."
"Is Mr. Ye encountering any trouble coming to see ?" Returning to the main topic, Zheng Ji knew that this "God" Ye Shikai didn’t like actively interacting with others, so he must have co to the Zheng Family for so favor.
"Honestly, I’m quite embarrassed. I have two friends missing in the East Sea, hoping Young Master Zheng can help find soone." Ye Shikai didn’t hide it, recounting the situation of Ghost and Gu Xin entirely.
"I see, rest assured, Mr. Ye. I’ll have my people start searching imdiately." Zheng Ji nodded incessantly, summoned Cheng, and whispered sothing in his ear.
"Rest assured, Eldest Young Master, I’ll handle it right away." Cheng respectfully bowed to both, then left the conference room.
"Okay, Mr. Ye. Since it happened in the East Sea, I will ensure it’s taken care of, rest assured." Zheng Ji said firmly.
"Thanks a lot then." Ye Shikai switched tones, locking eyes with Zheng Ji, "Mr. Zheng, I assu you have sothing to discuss with too?"
"What does Mr. Ye an by this?" Zheng Ji showed a surprised look, leaned back against the sofa.
"The spec of this conference room is far higher than the previous one. If Young Master Zheng had nothing to discuss with , why bring here specifically?" Ye Shikai patted the luxurious leather sofa beneath him, the kind of place reserved for important guests. Unexpectedly, Luo Shiqi hadn’t co, but Ye Shikai was here.
"Mr. Ye is certainly not an ordinary person, able to infer thoughts just through details, and even... as accurately."
To infer the whole from a part, sense the coming changes from a single leaf.
Ye Shikai’s lips slightly curved, confirming Zheng Ji indeed had matters to discuss with him. Let it be; since he ca to seek a favor from Zheng Ji this ti, even if Zheng Ji asks for so "return," it’s not unreasonable, moreover, Ye Shikai disliked owing favors.
"Young Master Zheng might as well speak directly, I’m all ears." Ye Shikai extended his hand, signaling for Zheng Ji to continue.
"Not long ago, I t Miss Ji, and several of Mr. Ye’s subordinates." Zheng Ji said lightly, "They commissioned to find soone nad Ghost, oh right, he’s now called Gu Li."
"That’s right, I’m asking Mr. Zheng to help find him again." Ye Shikai nodded, not hiding anything.
"That’s certainly no problem, but I’m curious, what’s wrong with Ghost this ti? If I rember correctly, Miss Ji and he t last ti, haven’t things been settled?"
"He’s lost his mory and is resistant to us, so last ti we couldn’t persuade him to co back with us." Ye Shikai explained.
"So, this ti, do you have confidence to persuade him to return?" Zheng Ji folded his arms across his chest, appearing to be listening to a very intriguing story.
"Not exactly, to be precise, I brought dication to restore his mory. However, he and his girlfriend are missing, and... it surely isn’t a simple matter."
"To make a skilled cultivator disappear, at the very least, the opposing side is also an organization of cultivators." Zheng Ji nodded in agreent.
