Feast for Shengsheng

Chapter 293 Surge

Because of its age, the letter began to become blurred, but Zhou Jingyan still saw it easily.

The most important thing is that this sandalwood box was placed together with Zhou Zhenzhen’s swaddling clothes, and inside it lay Zhou Zhenzhen’s jade pendant.

It is also a high-quality tourmaline, one of a kind.

No one in the Zhou family has ever revealed a word about this to anyone else.

He didn't want to bring trouble to the Zhou family, nor did he want Zhou Zhenzhen to be in crisis because of this accident if she was still alive.

"Mr. Lu didn't seem to tell me what clues led him to Beicheng?" Zhou Jingyan asked indifferently.

Lu Shiyan was quite calm. "They were from Xiangshan Temple back then. I checked and searched every family that had entered Xiangshan Temple, but only this family in North City had something like a keepsake. So I came. But before I got here, the family had already passed away in an accident."

This is half true and half false.

When the Lu family got into trouble, Lu Shiyan was taken to Beicheng by the Nan family and lived there for a year.

Later, when the Nan family encountered trouble and the Lu family settled down, he took Nan Sheng back to Haicheng and never mentioned anything about the Nan family again.

Therefore, even if Zhou Jingyan wanted to look for it, there would be no clues.

However, this token did not exist for Lu Shiyan in the first place. It was just a tool for him to meet Zhou Jingyan.

Lu Shiyan was fearless.

Zhou Jingyan nodded indifferently, knowing that Lu Shiyan's words were half true and half false.

He opened the sandalwood box calmly, but he had roughly guessed what it was. However, when he actually saw the jade pendant inside, a hint of shock flashed in Zhou Jingyan's eyes.

Because this is the jade pendant that the Zhou family gave to Zhou Zhenzhen back then.

After being missing for 19 years, she suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Jingyan.

But Zhou Jingyan remained calm on the surface.

He calmly put the cover of the sandalwood box back on.

What the Zhou family cares about is not the jade pendant, but where Zhou Zhenzhen is.

So, Zhou Jingyan pushed the sandalwood box back in front of Lu Shiyan.

Lu Shiyan was quiet for a moment: "Boss Zhou, are you saying that the clue I gave you is wrong?"

"Yes. This is not the Zhou family's token." Zhou Jingyan remained calm.

He refused to admit it because he didn't want to give Lu Shiyan the chance to make further advances.

Zhou Jingyan was a smart man and he probably guessed that the box given by Lu Shiyan was definitely not as simple as he said.

But Lu Shiyan would not tell the truth, he wanted to investigate.

Because if we find out, we can find out where Zhou Zhenzhen is.

There was no way Zhou Jingyan would let Lu Shiyan have any doubts, so this was undoubtedly a contest between the two.

"But thank you, Mr. Lu, for coming all the way here." Zhou Jingyan remained polite on the surface.

Zhou Jingyan's words did not make Lu Shiyan panic, and he remained calm.

This result was within his expectations.

"Mr. Zhou, you're too polite." Lu Shiyan folded his hands and naturally put the sandalwood box aside. "Apart from this matter, today's bidding was an accident. If Mr. Zhou is interested..."

Before Lu Shiyan could finish, Zhou Jingyan interrupted him with a half-smile: "In bidding, the winner takes all, there's nothing much to say. If we don't talk about work during a meal, it'll spoil the fun."

It's clear that I don't want to continue discussing this issue.

Lu Shiyan was quite tactful and nodded with a smile: "That's right."

The meal was peaceful and calm, but there were hidden dangers.

An hour later, Zhou Jingyan made an excuse and left.

Lu Shiyan didn't stop him.

For the Zhou family, there is no need to rush and they can only proceed step by step.

After a moment of silence, Lu Shiyan paid the bill and left calmly.

Zhou Jingyan didn't even stay in Beicheng for long, and flew back to the capital that evening.

After all, the most important purpose of coming to North City is to get clues about Zhou Zhenzhen, so it can't be said that I got nothing.

"Mr. Zhou, Lu Shiyan just took..." He Chen got into the car and looked at Zhou Jingyan with a frown.

Zhou Jingyan hummed, "It's a Zhou family keepsake. It's what my mother put in Zhenzhen's swaddling clothes back then."

"Could it be that Lu Shiyan really knows the whereabouts of the eldest lady? Is the eldest lady really alive?" He Chen was extremely surprised.

The Zhou family had been searching for 19 years, but they didn't expect to find a clue from Lu Shiyan.

So the reason Zhou Jingyan was dealing with Lu Shiyan today was really for this clue.

But Lu Shiyan cleverly avoided every question.

Zhou Jingyan couldn't ask directly, even if it would cause unnecessary trouble.

So Zhou Jingyan didn't stay long and left directly.

He Chen has been with Zhou Jingyan for many years and knows Zhou Jingyan very well.

"I'm not sure, but the token has appeared after all, so there's always a clue." Zhou Jingyan's voice remained steady. "Let's check where Lu Shiyan got this token."

"I understand." He Chen responded.

Zhou Jingyan was quiet for a moment: "The clue may not be in North City."

"Why?" He Chen was a little confused.

"Diverting the tiger away from the mountain. First, Lu Shiyan doesn't know that this is the Zhou family's keepsake, so he has to go around in circles to avoid our suspicion. Therefore, this thing can't have come out of North City. Lu Shiyan just put the clue in North City to lure us here. Second, assuming Lu Shiyan really knows Zhenzhen's whereabouts, then this is Lu Shiyan's biggest trump card. Before he gets what he wants, he will never let us find the real clue. He will only trap us in North City."

Zhou Jingyan analyzed calmly and looked at He Chen with sharp eyes.

He Chen suddenly understood.

"I understand. I'll check it out." He Chen responded.

Zhou Jingyan nodded and remained quiet throughout the whole process, with his brows lowered. No one knew what Zhou Jingyan was thinking.

But Zhou Jingyan knew very clearly that he was thinking of Nan Sheng.

From what Lu Shiyan said just now, it seemed that he was talking about the Nan family.

It seems like this jade pendant came from the Nan family.

But Lu Shiyan was vague again.

Zhou Jingyan thought of Nan Sheng's face, which was exactly the same as Jiang Qingqiu's when he was young.

But the previous paternity test made Zhou Jingyan give up this idea.

Because the result is not a mother-daughter relationship.

So is there a problem here?

This thought seemed to gradually straighten out Zhou Jingyan's thoughts.

His eyes fell on He Chen again, and He Chen looked over immediately: "Do you have any other instructions?"

"Check the Nan family." Zhou Jingyan said every word clearly.

He Chen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized which Nan family Zhou Jingyan was talking about.

"But, it wasn't like that before..." He Chen was also a little confused.

"First, investigate the entire story of the Nan family, the relationship between Lu Shiyan and the Nan family, and whether any of the people Lu Shiyan mentioned appearing at Xiangshan Temple that year were from the Nan family," Zhou Jingyan explained carefully. "If everything matches up, then the previous paternity test was likely tampered with. This proves that the Zhou family is not at peace either."
