The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Previous Leader Hidden by the Beidou Star! Chapter 203: Chapter 203: The Previous Leader Hidden by the Beidou Star! Master Hai Xin left without any notice, grabbing Chu Yuheng who was eating cake and left the Shen Family together.

Shen Boyi took off his glasses and said enthusiastically, “With today’s stone-gambling event, our family’s business in the gambling stone field is secured. I’ve got my eye on several places.”

Shen Shushan was confused, “Brother, haven’t you made enough money? Why are you still interested in gambling stones? Compared to your oil business, it’s just a drop in the bucket!”

“What do you know? In the future, Mom and Shaojia’s jewelry will have a source!”

He wanted the gambling stone field, making money from stones was one thing, but he really wanted to secure an import channel for High-grade Jade for the Shen Family!

Once the Shen Family had its own quarry, monopolizing part of the Jade business, Zuo Wanjun and the two daughters would have their jewelry!

Shen Boyi’s life hobby was making money, but he loved even more to have a place to spend it!

Qingwu returned to her room to find a gift left by Master Hai Xin on the table.

The box was carved from Jade, looking like a single piece without an obvious way to open it.

The Beidou Star had its own way to open such boxes. Besides a fixed mortise and tenon structure, it also required a combination of a password and fingerprint; any one mistake meant it couldn’t be opened.

“Click—”

The Jade box smoothly opened in Qingwu’s hand, revealing a photograph inside.

The photograph seemed somewhat old, depicting three young people, causing Qingwu’s pupils to dilate slightly!

It was Lin Huazhen, Boss Xiao, and a man Qingwu didn’t recognize!

There was also a note left in the box.

[Qing girl, I know you’re investigating your grandmother’s affairs, so here’s this for you. Also, your Osmanthus Jade Carving hides two USBs, find Old Xiao. Hai Xin.]

Her Osmanthus Jade Carving?

Indeed, the carving had positions reserved for two USBs. At the time, Qingwu was worried one might not be enough or could get damaged, so she reserved a space, but she never told her grandmother about it!

Qingwu got up and went to the Bogu shelf in the room, taking down the osmanthus sculpture.

Elder Shen hadn’t taken it away; it was still left for Qingwu.

After all, from Elder Shen’s perspective, Lin Huazhen’s past had Qingwu by her side, and she needed Huazhen’s belongings more!

Qingwu gently rotated the base of the Jade carving and found another position for a USB, which should also have had another osmanthus branch, but now it was empty!

When did grandma discover there was another USB in this Jade carving?

Qingwu dialed Boss Xiao’s video call.

Boss Xiao opened the video sent by Qingwu, grinning with his big white teeth approaching.

“Sweet grandchild! The Xisen Mercenary Group has all been fed to the sharks! Mission complete!”

With Boss Xiao’s influence in Melta Prison, taking down a second-rate mercenary group relying on smuggling arms at the border was just a matter of a flick of the wrist.

Qingwu waved the photograph in front of Boss Xiao.

“Who is this person?”

“How did you get this photo?”

Boss Xiao’s expression instantly turned serious, quickly removing the sunglasses perched on his head for looking cool, carefully scrutinizing the photo in Qingwu’s hand.

“You just need to tell me who this person is.”

Boss Xiao didn’t hesitate and flatly denied, “Don’t know him!”

“You guys were almost holding hands, and you say you don’t know him?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Your uncle-grandfather doesn’t like men, okay! This guy… how should I put it, he’s a Beidou Star member. If it weren’t for that old rascal Shen Lisu, this guy might have been your grandfather.”

In Boss Xiao’s eyes, Lin Huazhen being Qingwu’s grandmother was the only thing that mattered. As for who her grandfather was, irrelevant; after all, Shen Lisu was no good anyway!

“You said he’s from Beidou Star? Why don’t I recognize him?”

Boss Xiao smiled mysteriously.

“Beidou Star isn’t just two groups of people! Sweet grandchild, even if you have a few little stars in your hand, you can’t think there aren’t old stars in the world. This guy is an older generation of Beidou Star, a Tian Xiang Star from back in the day.”

“As for which group he belonged to, I don’t know either! Anyway, when your grandmother joined Beidou Star, he was already the leader!”

Qingwu’s eyes widened, “Grandma joined Beidou Star?”

Boss Xiao quickly patted his mouth, spitting several times.

“Aiya, that’s ancient history! Let it go, I’ve got a pot of braised pork on the stove!”

Qingwu frowned, “One last question, where is this person now?”

“He left Beidou Star with your grandmother, now apparently a university president somewhere? If you’re looking for something about your grandmother, finding him will be more useful than finding Shen Lisu.”

“Why don’t you find him?”

Boss Xiao also wanted Lin Huazhen’s belongings; why hadn’t he gone to look for this person?

Boss Xiao righteously declared, “Hehe, your uncle-grandfather can’t leave Melta, can I? I’m still imprisoned! How can a criminal leave prison!”

Qingwu was silent for a moment.

Given Boss Xiao’s authority, being the tyrant of Melta, it didn’t seem he was really imprisoned at all…

“As for sending someone to find him, forget it! Tian Xiang Star is crafty all over, and I can’t outsmart him!”

Boss Xiao shook his head, afraid Qingwu would ask questions he couldn’t answer, quickly cut off the video, and went to watch his Xisen braised pork feed the sharks.

Qingwu calmed down, rapidly assembled her small computer, and accessed the Beidou Star internal network.

[Investigate a person, a past Beidou Star Tian Xiang, directly use big data systems to match the face against the photo.]

Qingwu sent the picture of the man in the group and quickly received a message from Tian Yue.

[Ye Qilan, a Harvard University postdoctoral, now the Beijing University President and Design Academy Professor.]

[Boss, is this really a Beidou Star member? How come we didn’t know!]

Regarding Ye Qilan’s profession, Beidou Star didn’t have any comments; after all, they had an Oscar-winning actress, so a university president is nothing!

Tian Tong’s dream was still to set up a stall selling fried skewers at the elementary school entrance!

Tian Xiang sent a question mark.

[?]

[Why didn’t I know there’s another Tian Xiang Star? I checked his resume, and there’s indeed a big blank period. His published papers have Beidou Star traces. After comparing with other people who look similar to the photo, it’s definitely him!]

[Boss, aren’t you going to study at Beijing University?]

This Tian Xiang stirred a shared interest within the Beidou Star, eager to see what kind of person he was!

Qingwu thought for a moment, filled with countless doubts; it seemed she would have to find Ye Qilan to ask!

If grandma was with Beidou Star then, why did she go to a small mountain village afterward? Did grandma… know that she had also joined Beidou Star?

But she always believed, her grandmother wouldn’t harm her!

Qingwu sighed gently, quickly replied, “Make arrangements to report at the start of school next month!”

[Yay! Going to school with the boss!]

These Beidou Star geniuses had never attended a day of school, so they were also full of anticipation for university life!

Qingwu put away her computer, casually placed it back on the Bogu shelf, and turned to look towards the balcony.

“Pei Jue, are you getting addicted to climbing windows?”
