Chapter 286 A familiar face to me
The relationship between father and son improved considerably because of Duan Yao's appearance, and Gu Debai had no choice but to rely on his biological father for the time being.
She hadn't called him "Dad" yet, but her little hand was already clinging tightly to Xie Jingbai's.
Even when leaving the police station, Gu Debai suggested going home with Xie Jingbai.
I want to go see where my father lives and see his family.
Xie Jingbai's smile widened even more; this was wonderful!
What they didn't know was that Gu Debai simply didn't want to travel back to Jinxiu Manor with Duan Yao.
Furthermore, he was also helping his mother, Gu Panpan, to see if Xie Jingbai was a good person.
Duan Yao went along with them; it was their family's business.
After rescuing the people and making strict arrangements for their return, they left.
The car drove onto the main road of Beijing. There wasn't much traffic, so we weren't in a hurry.
There was a traffic light ahead, and the car came to a stop under Yan Li's control.
There was another car parked on the side of the road, equally valuable, but its window was not rolled up.
Inside the car, a man in a light gray suit rested one hand on the edge of the window, leaning slightly forward to look at Duan Yao's car.
Duan Yao's car has privacy film on it, the highest level kind.
But the man in the light gray suit seemed to have some kind of supernatural eye, able to pinpoint Duan Yao's exact location.
Duan Yao was certainly aware of the dangerous gaze directed at him.
The moment the man turned his head, he abruptly turned his head to meet the man's eyes through the privacy film on the car window.
The other person was an unfamiliar face, with very refined features, a refinement that a man shouldn't have.
They appear harmless, but their eyes hold a subtle provocation that is difficult to detect.
Coincidentally, Duan Yao caught this provocation, causing him to narrow his eyes.
This stranger made Duan Yao feel uneasy. In fact, during those few seconds of eye contact, he even wanted to pull out a gun and shoot him dead.
I wonder who this person is?
I have never seen this before in the capital.
The next second, the green light turned red, and the two cars drove away one after the other.
As soon as they started driving, Duan Yao instructed Yan Li, who was driving in front, "Remember the car next to us, and find out whose it is."
Yan Li paused, looked outside, and said, "Yes!"
Despite not understanding why, I still memorized the other party's license plate.
The other driver also spoke after starting his car.
However, the other party seemed to know everything about Duan Yao's car.
The driver in the car looked at the man sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said, "Master, that car just now belonged to Third Master Duan Yao."
The man crossed his legs, his eyes filled with disdain and amusement.
"I saw it." The man's voice was clear and gentle, yet tinged with coldness. "Nothing special."
Four words summed up the man's opinion of Duan Yao.
The driver was taken aback. He was from Beijing, but he had been working for his master in other places for many years.
He was extremely knowledgeable about the affairs in the capital and China, so much so that he felt a tremor in his heart when his master said that Duan Yao was "nothing special."
Duan Yao cannot be summed up as "nothing special".
Duan Yao's style seems to have changed recently; he is no longer as cunning and decisive as before. But who knows if this is just one of his strategic tactics?
What if Duan Yao was just a sleeping lion?
So he felt that his master of the house seemed to be speaking a bit arrogantly.
But after pausing and thinking about it, their master seemed to have a lot of right to say that Duan Yao was "nothing special," since in his opinion, his master was the kind of person who kept his true abilities hidden.
He, a mere driver, couldn't explain exactly how he kept things so secret; he only knew that his master's dealings were things that most people couldn't understand.
The car continued towards its destination, and the distance between the two cars gradually increased.
Yan Li was as fast as ever. He had just arrived at the Duan Group and the information that Duan Yao had asked him to look up was already organized and delivered to his office.
"Third Master, we've found out."
The owner of the car with the license plate DK9999 that I encountered on the road was from the Mo family in Haicheng.
Going back thirty-three generations, they were all from an ancient family that served as imperial physicians in the palace—the Mo family.
An investigation revealed that most of the descendants of the Mo family have settled overseas, with only one valuable Mo family mansion remaining in Haicheng.
Duan Yao pursed his lips slightly, "The Mohist school."
I've heard of it, but I've never had any experience with it.
Thinking of that man's provocative gaze, the murderous intent suppressed deep within my heart inexplicably surged up.
Finally, remembering that he was going to take Song Beiyou back to the old house for dinner tonight, he forced himself to suppress the killing.
He then asked Yan Li, "What about the Han family in Gaoguo?"
Yan Li nodded, "We've already put us in the position of Wall Street financial experts who are using hedge funds to start shorting the Han family's stocks."
China doesn't operate hedge funds and can't extend its reach to the US, so it can only rely on the experts they employ on Wall Street.
Duan Yao grunted in agreement. "Keep an eye on it."
Many things cannot be left to chance; they must be completely in his hands.
As for the wizards, they can't be included either; Gu Panpan is his powerful weapon against the shadows.
Hopefully, Xie Jingbai can step up his game and persuade Gu Panpan and Gu Debai to stay in China willingly.
...
As the sun sets, light and shadow play on the gently rippling lake surface, creating streaks of light.
A secluded private club on the shore of Taihu Lake in Beijing. Luxury private cars slow down as they approach the club.
Guided by a specialist, the car drove into the clubhouse grounds.
In a private room overlooking the lake on the second floor of the clubhouse, Linda frowned as she made a phone call to Gao Guo's subordinate.
"What's going on? You can't do this just because I'm not at the company?"
How could anyone dare to short our group? Have they found out who it is?
On the other end of the phone, "No!"
Linda was even angrier. "Idiots! If you don't handle this well, you're all fired!"
Han Xinyue, who was standing to the side, knew that things were not simple. After Linda hung up the phone, she asked, "Is this easy to handle?"
Linda shook her head. "They came on strong, but we don't know who they are."
Upon hearing this, Han Xinyue's heart skipped a beat, and the face of the man she had grown up with flashed through her mind.
I think it's very likely to be him, but I'm not sure.
Seeing that Han Xinyue's complexion was not good, Linda assumed that she was worried and went over to comfort her, "It's okay, it's not the first time we've been shorted, we've always pulled through."
The most important thing right now is to meet with Mr. Mo.
No sooner had she finished speaking than there was a knock on the door of the private room, and Han Xinyue and her group brought in Mr. Mo, whom Linda had mentioned.
This Mr. Mo is the wizard that Linda found for Han Xinyue.
The moment Mr. Mo walked into the private room, Han Xinyue gasped, completely unprepared for the wizard to be so young.
She was also extremely beautiful, like a celestial being banished from heaven, untouched by worldly affairs.
She wanted to greet him as a sign of respect, but he beat her to it, saying, "Your appearance does resemble an old acquaintance of mine."
