“Mr. Qin, aren’t you here to find Chief Qin’s first love and her child? Jian Yiling doesn’t look like Chief Qin’s child,” the assistant said in a low voice.

Qin Shixuan was a close descendant of the Qin family in the capital. He was cousins with the current head of the Qin family.

Although he wasn’t a direct descendant of the Qin family, his identity was still well respected by the people in Hengyuan City.

Even though Qin Shixuan had come to Hengyuan City to hold a chemistry competition, that wasn’t his primary goal. His main goal was to find his cousin’s first love and illegitimate son.

However, this wasn’t a glorious matter. As a result, he had been secretly trying to find the mother and the son.

Qin Shixuan spoke again, “Yeah, that’s true. However, Jian Yiling is quite talented. Furthermore, we don’t have any news of those two yet. If we are planning to stay in Hengyuan City for a while, it would be good to find some talented individuals to join our organization.”

“Oh, Mr.Qin you’re correct.”

“Has the person that Chief Qin sent to that address returned yet?”

“Yes, they’ve returned. However, there is someone else living there already. No one remembers the name of the woman who was living there. There was only an old lady who said that she vaguely remembers a woman that appeared to be pregnant. I think that it was true that she was pregnant.”

Qin Shixuan nodded his head before he continued to speak, “Ah right. Also, I heard that the Young Master of the Zhai family is also staying in Hengyuan City?”

“Yeah. Hengyuan City has been quite busy lately. Both the Qin and Zhai family have people here.”

“Oh, furthermore, I heard that Master Sheng came to Hengyuan City to look for something.”

“To look for something?”

“Apparently, it’s related to his father’s death.”

“Oh, let’s not interfere with that. Outsiders should not interfere with such a matter.”

Upon hearing what his assistant told him, Qin Shixuan instructed his men to not get involved with the matter.

Everyone knew how serious this matter was to the Zhai family.

When school was over, Jian Yiling arrived at the school gates. However, she did not see Grandma Jian.

Instead, she saw a bright yellow sports car. The color and the model of the car had attracted the attention of many of the students at Shenghua High School.

Even the attention of the teachers had been drawn to the car.

Jian Yiling immediately recognized the driver.

He was seated in the driver’s seat and wearing sunglasses.

When Jian Yiling walked to the side of the car, Zhai Yunsheng spoke up, “Get in.”

Jian Yiling stared at him. Her eyes were filled with confusion.

“Your grandma is fine. Yu Xi owes you a meal,” Zhai Yunsheng explained. It seemed as though Zhai Yunsheng knew that Jian Yiling had doubts.

The reason why Grandma Jian hadn’t picked Jian Yiling up today was that Yu Xi owed Jian Yiling a ‘sumptuous banquet’. Back when Jian Yiling was sick, he had agreed to this.

Like a good neighborhood brother, he would keep to his promise.

However, whenever Yu Xi asked about her schedule, Jian Yiling had told him that she was busy. She couldn’t even make time on the weekends.

As a result, Yu Xi could only arrange the meal on a weekday evening.

After Yu Xi explained the situation to Grandma Jian, Grandma Jian had readily agreed.

This was due to Yu Xi’s good display in front of Grandma Jian and the other elders.

However, for some reason, the task of picking Jian Yiling up had been given to Zhai Yunsheng.

After hearing the reason, Jian Yiling got into Zhai Yunsheng’s car.

As soon as Jian Yiling got in, Zhai Yunsheng stepped on the accelerator and made a U-turn.

After a burst of engine noises, the car left the school.

All that was left for the students and teachers was their endless imagination.

Who was this man? Was he Jian Yiling’s brother?

How was he so handsome?

All the girls were incredibly envious.
