Chapter: 2626

After speaking, Mai Chengxing continued, “We’re not here to harm him. The Su family wants us to discover his identity, but I won’t get involved in their conflict with him. Even if we find him, I won’t tell the Su family who he is.”

Mike couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, we came to investigate because the Su family asked us to. If we don’t help them, won’t that go against our agreement?”

Mai Chengxing glared at him, clearly upset. “That’s foolish! Once we decided to come to Jinling, we stopped working for the Su family!”

He continued, “I do want to find this important person, but I’m hoping to find an opportunity for us. If it’s just the Su family wanting to deal with this man and asking me to find him, I wouldn’t agree to that. No amount of money would make me fight against someone so powerful.”

Then, Mai Chengxing added, “If we do find this person, I won’t share any information with the Su family. Instead, I’ll return the money they gave us. When we go back, I’ll help the Su family for free.”

Mike looked embarrassed and said, “Breaking a contract like that shows a lack of integrity. If someone has no credibility, how will they succeed in society?”

Mai Chengxing shook his head in frustration. “Remember, the more you believe in Fengshui Mingshu, the more you shouldn’t go against it. This person is a true dragon in Mingge. People like us can’t oppose him. Do you understand?”

Mike nodded.

“I know Grandpa…” Mai Chengxing replied. “Okay, let’s find a place to eat at noon, and then you can come back in the afternoon.”

Charlie Wade didn’t think much about Mai Chengxing and his grandparents. Whether they were Feng Shui masters or experts in metaphysics, he knew that if they were against him, they wouldn’t stand a chance. He understood that while these two were stronger than most people, they were still no match for him. If it came down to a confrontation, they wouldn’t be any stronger than Yu Jinghai.

Charlie was more focused on He Zhiqiu. He was eager for a clear answer from her. Once He Zhiqiu arrived in Jinling, he planned to set up an ocean shipping company right away. This would definitely make life harder for the Su family.

After class, He Yuanjiang returned to his office and hurriedly asked Charlie, “Did Zhiqiu get back to you?”

Charlie shook his head. “Not yet, Uncle He. She mentioned that there’s no internet connection at the base, so she can only reach out once she gets back.”

He Yuanjiang nodded and sighed. “During class, my right eye kept twitching. It felt like a bad omen, so I’m worried.”

Charlie smiled and reassured him, “Don’t worry too much, Uncle He. Just be patient and wait for Zhiqiu’s message. They are six hours behind us. If they go back at 8 PM local time, it will already be early morning here. Just hang in there, and I’ll contact you as soon as I hear something.”

In the evening, a message came in. He Yuanjiang sighed and said, “There’s not much I can do right now, so I just have to wait.”

Then he quickly turned to Charlie Wade and added, “Come on, Charlie. I’ve booked a table at the Jinling Archway near the school. Let’s go eat there for lunch!”
