Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brow .
Five minutes past eight…
Ten minutes past eight…
What was up with Hu Zi? Was he caught up with something somewhere else?
When it was half-past eight, Zhuang Nainai finally heard footsteps coming from outside . Eagerly swinging her head back to see who it was, she saw a figure by the side of the car .

Si Zhengting lowered the car window, but the person that they saw wasn’t Hu Zi . It was… Dazhuang?
Dazhuang, his face forlorn, passed his phone over to Si Zhengting . “Sir, the private investigators just called, and they said, they said…”
Si Zhengting knitted his brows . “What did they say?”
“They said that Hu Zi might not be able to make it today . ”
After Si Zhengting heard this, he gave an imperceptible sigh . With his cold gaze fixed on Dazhuang, he asked in a voice filled with displeasure, “This is the answer that they’re giving us?”

Dazhuang went stiff from Si Zhengting’s icy tone . Not even daring to breathe heavily, he finally understood why the private investigator was so unwilling to make a call to Mr . Si directly and had instead asked him to be the messenger . Steadying himself, he explained, “Sir, they said that at half-past seven, there had been some activity on Hu Zi’s side . ”
Si Zhengting glanced at Dazhuang, and Dazhuang quickly blurted out the rest of what he had to say . “Mr . Si, do you still remember how Hu Zi had gone to look for his girlfriend after he finished serving his jail term? That girlfriend has now found a rather capable gangster as her partner, but Hu Zi has been pestering her . The boyfriend, angered by this, went to look for Hu Zi at half-past seven today . Encircling him, they declared that they would kill him — causing him to run off in fear! Now nobody knows where he’s hiding at!”
When he heard this, a flash of anger crossed Si Zhengting’s eyes . But his cultured upbringing meant that he lowered his gaze to hide it, and instead, he coldly replied, “I got it . ”
But just as Dazhuang was about to turn around and leave, Si Zhengting spoke once more . “Are those private investigators getting paid for nothing?”
Dazhuang was speechless .

Mr . Si’s rage was truly something to be afraid of!
Even though Mr . Si had said it in a cold, flat tone, he knew that there was no way that the private investigators would be let off lightly .
Saying a silent prayer for them in his heart, Dazhuang quickened his footsteps and left the car . It was all too frightening for him!
It was only after Dazhuang’s footsteps faded into the distance that Zhuang Nainai turned her head to face Si Zhengting . Their chauffeur sitting in front of them had no idea what to do, and his fear kept him silent .
Zhuang Nainai was undoubtedly disappointed . But these sorts of things couldn’t be blamed on anyone; they had just been unlucky .
Sighing, she told the chauffeur, “Let’s go home . ”
The chauffeur quickly started up the engine .
Not seeing Hu Zi meant disappointment, of course, but Zhuang Nainai had already mentally prepared herself for such a scenario .
Furrowing her brows, she looked out of the car window for a while before turning to Si Zhengting . “What’s up with this girlfriend of Hu Zi? Can we try to locate Hu Zi through her?”
Si Zhengting explained, “The private investigators have checked her out, and she’s not a reliable person . We’ve found out the reason Hu Zi had gone to jail all those years ago: his girlfriend had been pregnant, and she had asked him for 200,000 dollars . Coincidentally, someone held a grudge against your family, and they gave him 200,000 dollars to run your mother over without killing her . Without it being a murder, his jail term was seven years at the maximum and five if he behaved well . ”
