The next morning.
A sanitation worker found a male corpse wearing only his underwear and with his throat slit. He was so frightened that he immediately called the police.
A passer-by took a few photos of the corpse before the police arrived and posted them on Weibo.
Very soon, this matter became a hot news topic in White City.
The security in White City had always been good, and the crime rate was relatively low in the country. Therefore, such a terrifying criminal case naturally became the center of attention in the entire city.
Today, Chi Mingwei was prepared to bring Chi Jiao back to the old residence to visit Old Master Chi.
“What time did Quan Jue come back last night?” Chi Mingwei asked as he drove.
Chi Jiao was browsing Weibo when she heard his question. She casually replied, “Around 10.”
“You waited for him until past 10? What did you two do?” Chi Mingwei asked again.
Chi Jiao recalled what she and Quan Jue did last night.
The scene played in her mind, making her cheeks burn.
Of course, she couldn’t tell her father what she and Quan Jue did last night. Chi Jiao said ambiguously, “Nothing much. We hung out for a while and then went to sleep.”
Chi Mingwei didn’t think too much about it and nodded.
The car stopped in front of the old residence.
Chi Jiao got out of the car and saw a car parked in front of the house.
It was a very low-key black car, but the license plate number was very unique: J888.
“There’s a guest at home,” said Chi Mingwei.
Chi Jiao drew back her gaze and nodded.
She recognized the car plate number.
It was the license plate of Quan Jingzhou’s car.
That person actually found her grandfather.
*****
In the warm living room.
Dressed in a low-profile black suit, Quan Jingzhou was chatting with Old Master Chi with a warm smile.
“Your family has taken care of Xiao Jue for so many years. As his father, I’m very grateful to you,” Quan Jingzhou said as he gave Quan Liu a look.
Quan Liu immediately placed a contract on the table.
Old Master Chi took a look at the contract.
The bold black words on the paper were very clear.
Yuan He Resort Development Project Contract.
“Mr. Quan, what do you mean by this?” Elder Chi asked slowly.
“Yuan He Resort is our company’s new project, and the location is in White City. I want to collaborate with Ting Gan Company on this project.” Quan Jingzhou leaned back on the sofa and looked at Old Master Chi with a faint smile.
Ting Gan company was the Chi family’s company.
The current CEO was Chi Mingwei.
His words sounded simple, but they contained a lot of weight. Old Master Chi understood very well.
The Quan Family was a famous conglomerate. If the Chi Family could really collaborate with them to develop this resort project, they would be able to obtain unimaginable benefits.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that this could be used as a stepping stone to double Ting Gan Company’s market value.
Over the past few years, Ting Gan Company had been rather stable.
It was stable. It didn’t deteriorate, but neither did it improve.
And this opportunity before him could be considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Old Master Chi frowned. He wasn’t at all excited by Quan Jingzhou’s words.
On the contrary, Chi Mingyao, who was sitting next to him, looked excited.
“Mr. Quan, if you are doing this to repay the Chi family, you’re being too generous. How can we accept this?” Chi Mingyao was so excited that his voice trembled.
