Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Sending a Big Gift Over

Flame raised his finger and tapped on the table, asking,

"Are they planning to have a press conference or a cocktail party?"

Ke Kai nodded, "Yes, they’re planning a cocktail party."

"Send a big gift over!"

Ke Kai nodded immediately, then asked, "Sir, what about the situation at Ying Zi’s grandfather’s house?"

"They won’t even let us in, so we don’t know the situation inside."

"Should we go and probe again?"

"No need, but send one or two people to watch over them, we can’t let anything happen to them!"

If something were to happen under his watch, Flame wouldn’t know how to face his mother-in-law and wife.

"Understood!"

After Flame finished giving his instructions, he waved for Ke Kai to leave.

"Sir, why are you suddenly investigating the Zong family?" Ke Kai asked, purely out of curiosity.

He had heard that the Sir was once good friends with the young master of the Zong family. This young master passed away several years ago, and Flame’s family and the Zong family have had little interaction since then.

What was the reason behind this investigation?

Flame thought for a moment, feeling that some things might not be clear, and Ke Kai’s investigation would indeed be difficult to focus.

"Xiao Lizi is Zong Zhe’s daughter!"

"Holy crap!" It took Ke Kai a while to recover after exclaiming in surprise.

"So, that’s why you didn’t let Xiao Lizi be my wedding flower girl?"

Flame nodded.

After Ke Kai finished exclaiming, he fell into deep thought.

After a while, he said, "Sir, this matter is a bit tricky..."

Flame remained silent. He of course understood better than anyone else how tricky this was.

Some things might be better discovered if he investigated himself, as he would get a lot more useful information.

But that would be equivalent to exposing Bai Shao and her daughter.

"Alright, I get it..."

Before leaving, Ke Kai remembered something, "Sir, the taxi driver was sent to the police station this morning."

"Hmm..."

...

Flame returned home in the evening to find dinner already set. He was a little surprised to see Bai Shao and her daughter.

But he didn’t ask any questions and merely walked over to pat Bai Xiaolu’s head.

"Hello, Uncle Flame!"

Bai Xiaolu looked up, recognized him and greeted sweetly. The little girl looked indeed similar to Zong Zhe when she smiled.

"Xiao Lizi, do you want to learn Judo with this Uncle tomorrow?"

Ever since his son, Baby Boy, witnessed his father’s prowess, he has been pestering him to accompany him to the training field back in Tong Village whenever he had time. Flame had promised the little boy the previous night to take him there on Sunday.

Anyway, he also had business to take care of in the village, so he thought it would be fine to take the kids along.

As for Xiao Lizi, it was a fleeting thought that struck him—learning Judo might not be a bad idea for her self-defense.

Bai Shao was clearly taken aback, but Xiao Lizi didn’t care about the adults’ intentions and immediately imagined a certain scene. She tugged on Flame’s clothes, looked up at him excitedly, and asked,

"Uncle Flame, are we talking about the one where you wear a white robe and a black belt, and look really cool?"

Flame patted her head again, nodded and said, "Exactly, Xiao Lizi, do you want to learn it? When you reach the most advanced level, you will get a black belt!"

Xiao Lizi blinked her bright eyes and nodded her head vigorously, "I want to, I want to!"

After agreeing, she remembered that she hadn’t yet gotten her mom’s consent. So, she turned around, pulled Bai Shao’s arm, and looked at her with expectation.

"Mommy, can I go?"

Bai Shao looked at her, touched her face, "Do you want to go?"

"Yes! It sounds very cool!"

Bai Shao nodded, "Then you can go. But you can’t cause trouble for Uncle Flame!"

Xiao Lizi pouted, "I won’t, I’m the most obedient!"

Flame then said with a smile, "What kind of trouble could a child cause? Besides, if they do, just fix it later. No big deal!"

Zhu Qianying, who had remained quiet, glared at him, "Is that how you educate children? You are simply encouraging them to make mistakes."

Flame pulled a chair and sat down next to her, leaned in and pecked her on the cheek.

"Only when one makes mistakes, can we call it childhood!"

Zhu Qianying had no response to that; Flame sure had a way with words.

"Me, me!" The little boy, sitting on the other side of Zhu Qianying, saw Flame kissing her, so he peeked over and pointed at his own cheek demanding the same.

Flame kissed the boy’s chubby cheek and pinched it, "Hmm, lovely texture!"

The young master giggled, sat back in his place, and happily sipped his soup.

"Baby Boy, what belt are you at?"

Still fascinated by the topic of Judo, Xiao Lizi licked her lips after taking a sip of soup and asked.

"Yellow belt!" Baby Boy immediately responded.

"Can you teach me?" Xiao Lizi asked seriously.

"Of course, I can!"

The two kids, unusually co-existing peacefully, brought relief to the adults, who started their meal amidst casual conversation around the dinner table.

At the table, aside from Baby Boy and Xiao Lizi, who had no real troubles, everyone else had some hidden problems on their minds.

However, everyone hid it well, eating dinner and chatting as if nothing was wrong.

After dinner, Flame learned from his mother-in-law and Zhu Qianying’s conversation that Bai Xiangdong had taken Xiao Lizi out in the afternoon, only to start feeling dizzy again. Fortunately, he didn’t fall, so no major harm was done.

Fearing any more incidents would scare his granddaughter, Bai Xiangdong suggested he should go back to the hospital to rest.

As a result, the family of three had to cancel their dinner plans.

Taking advantage of when everyone had left to take a walk or play, Flame informed Zhu Qianying that he had arranged for someone to watch her uncle’s family and to investigate the Zong family.

As for Zhu Haoming acting as the acting president, Flame didn’t mention it, but Zhu Qianying seemed to have heard the news from her friend and took the initiative to bring it up.

"I heard that Zhu Haoming returned to Mingxuan Group as the acting president. Is Zhu Zhizhou trying to tap into the power of the Song family?"

Flame just laughed and did not comment.

"And what I find strange is that it’s rumored that Zhu Junwei has disappeared. Since it’s only a disappearance and his life or death is unknown, Zhu Haoming is obviously just an acting president. So why make such a big deal and announce it to the world? Zhu Junwei might turn up tomorrow, right?"

Flame still did not give her an answer, just patted her head, "You think about it yourself!"

Zhu Qianying glared at him, "Would it kill you to help me analyze it?"

Flame shook his head, "It won’t kill me! But you’re clearly capable of figuring it out, so why ask me?"

"I’m a designer, not a businessman!" Zhu Qianying stressed once again.

Flame looked at her with amusement, "Then since you’re a designer, not a businessman, why are you interested in these things?"
