Lin Wu sat in the car, taking numerous photos with his phone. He seemed to be chatting, occasionally revealing a contented smile.

“Wife, I’m not sure when I’ll return to Modu. We’re heading to Zhuhai in a couple of days, so I might be back after we’re done there.”

“Got it, dear. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself.”

“Of course, your husband can now enter Diaoyutai!”

Watching Li Qian in the video, Lin Wu felt considerably uplifted. Although he hadn’t seen Li Qian for a while, their bond remained as strong as ever.

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Wu caught sight of Zhou Chao striding towards the parking lot with a grim expression. He hurriedly told Li Qian, “I’ll call you later, dear. The boss has some urgent matters. Talk to you tonight.” Before Li Qian could respond, he quickly ended the call, opened the car door, and hurriedly got out.

“Boss, what’s wrong?” Lin Wu hastened to meet him.

“Nothing, let’s go home,” Zhou Chao said curtly, his face expressionless.

Noticing Zhou Chao’s demeanor, Lin Wu opened the car door, and Zhou Chao got in without a word.

Soon, the car departed from Diaoyutai.

Throughout the journey, neither of them spoke. Lin Wu occasionally glanced at Zhou Chao through the rearview mirror, seeing him leaning back in his seat, staring outside, showing no signs of changing posture for about ten minutes. “Why are you staring at me? Look ahead and drive carefully!” Zhou Chao suddenly spoke coldly.

“Sorry, boss. I was just curious about who angered you. It’s rare for me to see you this upset,” Lin Wu asked straightforwardly, knowing Zhou Chao wouldn’t mind.

“It’s nothing. Just encountered a foolish person trying to buy my two oil fields for a trillion dollars!” Zhou Chao’s eyes flashed with coldness as he spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Wu felt indignant. During his time in the Russia, he had chatted with Wang Lao and Wen Bin a lot, broadening his horizons.

“A trillion? Is he out of his mind? Completely delusional! Boss, who’s the big-mouthed toad with such audacity?” Lin Wu knew the value of the two oil fields and never expected such a thing to happen.

“It’s not worth getting angry over such a brainless person. It’s not good for your health!” Zhou Chao chuckled. If Lin Wu knew who he was referring to as a brainless person, would he be surprised?

“It’s okay. Your boss is that kind of narrow-minded person!” Zhou Chao also laughed. If Lin Wu knew who he was referring to as brainless, would he be surprised?

“How could that be? You, boss, are the most open-minded person I know!” Lin Wu hastily explained.

“Alright, focus on driving,” Zhou Chao said, taking out his phone from his pocket.

He immediately dialed his father-in-law Jiang Youdao’s number, intending to inquire about Wei Lan’s situation.

The call was quickly answered.

“Hello, Xiao Chao, what’s up?” Jiang Youdao’s voice came through, accompanied by a lot of background noise.

“Dad, where are you? Why is it so noisy?”

“Ah, don’t mention it. It’s the National Day holiday. Your mom insisted on going out to play. We’re at West Lake in Hangcheng now. It’s packed with people, as far as the eye can see. What’s up, Xiao Chao?”

Fortunately, Jiang Youdao spoke loudly, otherwise, Zhou Chao wouldn’t be able to hear him clearly.

Zhou Chao twitched his mouth. He couldn’t understand what his in-laws were thinking. Going on a trip during this time? Aren’t they asking for trouble? Knowing this wasn’t the time to discuss the matter, Zhou Chao immediately said, “It’s not something important, but it’s not easy to explain briefly. How about this, Dad, we’ll talk in detail after you get back to the hotel.”

“Okay, I’ll call you later. There are too many people here, and it’s too noisy to hear anything clearly!” Jiang Youdao hung up after speaking.

Soon, the two of them returned to the courtyard by the canal.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Zhou Chao noticed that Si Cong and the others were no longer in the backyard. He saw the nanny, Ms. Kuang, just finishing tidying up the backyard.

“Aunt Kuang, where are Si Cong and the others? Have they left? Do you know where they went?” Zhou Chao asked with some confusion.

“Boss, you’re back. They left a while ago. I’m not sure exactly where they went.”

“Okay, I see. You can go about your business,” Zhou Chao said, heading upstairs.

After putting the documents back in the safe, Zhou Chao went to the bedroom and saw Jiang Li still sleeping on the bed. He quietly retreated from the room.

Zhou Chao picked up a book from the study and came downstairs. “Aunt Kuang, please bring me a cup of tea to the backyard.”

“Sure, Young Master Zhou!” AuntKuang replied and headed to the kitchen.

Aunt. Kuang was quick, and Zhou Chao didn’t have to wait long before she came out with a large cup of tea.

Lounging chair, large cup of tea, book— it was exactly like an elderly person’s lifestyle.

After reading the book for a while, Zhou Chao remembered to call Si Cong and ask where they had taken Abdullah.

If something happened, he wouldn’t be able to explain to Wang Lao.

After several rings, Si Cong answered the phone.

“Hello, Si Cong, where are you guys now?”

“Young Master Zhou, we’re playing at your golf club.. Do you want to come over and join us?”
