Chapter 299

Upon hearing Bai Jingshu's words, Qin Muchen repeated, "Feng Xingyan?"

"That's right; it was him! It was assumed that the Feng Family would suffer a drastic decline after Old Master Feng passed away. However, little did anyone expect the family to have made better progress than when he was still alive, for the family has scaled new heights."

Bai Jingshu thought that Feng Xingyan was quite an interesting person.

Qin Muchen frowned slightly as he said seriously, "I got it. Don't mess with Feng Xingyan if you have no reason for doing so."

"Why?" Beep...

Qin Muchen hung up on Bai Jingshu as soon as the latter spoke.

On the other hand, after hanging up on Bai Jingshu, Qin Muchen immediately called Nan Chuan, saying, “Look into what Feng Xingyan has been doing over the last two years. Also, investigate in detail what happened after he saved Su Ziyue back then. Make a trip to send a few people over while you stay in Yunzhou City."

Then, he hung up without giving Nan Chuan the opportunity to ask more questions.

Qin Muchen had paid little attention to Feng Xingyan in the past. While the Feng Family was based in Jingcheng City, he had been staying overseas, so he had never been bothered about Feng Xingyan. Moreover, he and the Feng Family did not run businesses in the same industry.

After Feng Xingyan took Su Ziyue away later, he looked into Feng Xingyan's background, but he did not investigate it in detail.

There did not seem to be any problem with Feng Xingyan's background. Most importantly, Feng Xingyan was pretty nice to Su Ziyue; he had really made every effort to look after her as an uncle.

That was why Qin Muchen let his guard down.

Id Master Feng was among the earliest batch of people who quit their jobs and went into commerce in the last century. He gained some reputation in business circles, but he went back to Jingcheng City and settled there later since his family stayed in the country.

After Old Master Feng passed away, Feng Xingyan took merely less than three years to bring Feng Group to new heights, which was apparently not achievable by ordinary people.

At the very least, this showed that Feng Xingyan was a man of extraordinary means.

Since Feng Xingyan was capable of such means, he must be very ambitious. Therefore, there might be another reason for such a person to be so kind to a long-lost niece.

Li Qingluo had told the truth when she said that the medicine produced quick effects, for Su Ziyue felt much better when she woke up the next morning.

Even though this place was poverty-stricken, the air here was very fresh.

As Su Ziyue went out for a stroll, she took several pictures using her cell phone so that she could show them to Feng Xingyan when she went back later.

She thought she had a rough idea why Feng Xingyan attached such great importance to this project.

In one respect, engaging in public welfare was beneficial to the company's image. From another aspect, even though they lived in times of peace and prosperity, some people still lived in conditions where they might not have enough to eat and wear, and these people really needed other people's help.

Su Ziyue took a few pictures when she heard Li Qingluo calling her from behind, "Director Su!”

"Are we leaving soon?"

Li Qingluo ran toward her and replied, "Yeah, everything is ready, and we're just waiting for you."

"Alright. We'll be there right away," said Su Ziyue before she turned back first.

This day happened to be a Monday, so they planned to film the kids as they went to school.

Li Qingluo walked behind Su Ziyue while asking the latter in a low voice, "It's quite far from here. Can you hang in there?"

"I'm fine." Su Ziyue knew in her heart the state of her physical well-being.

The village had over ten kids that were aged differently, yet they attended school together. It was said that they attended school in a cave with only a teacher.

"We've arrived, Director Su," said Li Qingluo, who had been keeping a close eye on Su Ziyue's physical state along the way.

"You don't have to bother about me. Just go over there," said Su Ziyue, who reached out to point at the location that was being shot, for she knew that Li Qingluo was interested in those things.

Feeling embarrassed, Li Qingluo scratched her head and went over there.

Su Ziyue took two pictures as well. Then, she looked at the upper right corner of her phone screen, only to replace that there was still no cell phone signal.

She had wanted to send a few photos to Feng Xingyan and call An Xia and Lu Shichu to tell them that she was safe, but it seemed that she could only do so in her imagination.

After a while, Su Ziyue suddenly heard someone's footsteps from behind. She looked back sharply to see a thin man in a white shirt standing behind her.

The man looked quite ill at ease.

Su Ziyue was startled for a moment. Then, she said, "Hello, Mr. Lee."

She had previously heard from the film crew that the only teacher here was named Lee Yannan.

Lee Yannan seemed to be about 30 years old. He was skinny, and his white shirt was spotless, which was a stark difference from other local residents.

Perhaps because he grew up in extremely harsh conditions since childhood, he was only nearly as tall as Su Ziyue.

"Do you know me, Miss Su?" Lee Yannan's eyes visibly lit up when he heard Su Ziyue calling his name.

Su Ziyue wondered if she was seeing things, but she felt that there was something strange about his gaze.

She felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, but she still answered his question politely, "You're the only teacher here, so it's difficult not to know you. I heard that you left before and came back into the mountains as a teacher afterward, didn't you?"

Su Ziyue was curious about this, for it was really rare for a person who had lived in a world full of temptations to remember where they had come from and still be willing to return.

If she were in Lee Yannan's shoes, she would probably be unable to do so. Even though she thought that the people here desperately needed help, she wasn't a selfless person.

She had grown accustomed to various electrical alliances, clean roads, and high-rise buildings.

She did not know if she had said something wrong, but Lee Yannan's expression changed subtly as soon as she finished her sentence.

"Isn't it said that a person residing elsewhere would eventually return to his home like fallen leaves returning to their roots? No matter how good the outside world is, it's still not my home after all. Moreover, it's

too stressful to live out there. The mountain is impoverished and underdeveloped, but I feel comfortable here," said Lee Yannan with a touch of sincerity in his voice.

Su Ziyue was about to say something else when the documentary's director walked toward them. "Director Su, we're going to interview Mr. Lee now."

"Go there first then. Thank you for cooperating with us," said Su Ziyue before stepping toward the other side as well.

The shooting on this day went well.

That night, Su Ziyue and Li Qingluo slept in the same room.

Li Qingluo was active in the daytime as she bustled around with the film crew. Therefore, she had long since fallen asleep at this moment.

Well, she isn't bothered by the conditions here, thought Su Ziyue to herself. She sniffed at the blanket, which had a musty smell.

She did not fall asleep after a long time, so she wanted to go to the toilet.

Just then, she heard a slight noise outside the door.

She held her breath for a few seconds before hearing a clear clicking sound.

Someone's outside the door! It sounds like someone is prizing the door open! thought Su Ziyue as her heart clenched with fear.

The house where she and Li Qingluo were staying belonged to the richest family in this village, but this family stayed a little further from other houses.

Therefore, those who came along with them-the company's documentary director and photographers-stayed in other houses, which were a distance away from this house!

The person who was prizing the door open couldn't be from the company!
