Jiang Yiqing, lounging lazily on the sofa, paused for a moment after hearing that. Who had the time to investigate him?

He didn't answer right away and said, "Let me check my calculations."

Wen Xiuyan smirked. "Mm."

Jiang Yiqing made some quick calculations, then his expression changed slightly, and he burst into laughter. "I know who it is. You don't need to worry about it."

Since Jiang Yiqing said not to worry, Wen Xiuyan didn't press him further. If Jiang Yiqing wanted to talk, he would; if not, he shouldn't ask.

He didn't hang up the phone, instead letting the conversation flow naturally to other topics.

Jiang Yiqing didn't notice anything wrong and thought chatting with Wen Xiuyan was quite pleasant.

Zhou family.

Zhou Ding had just received Jiang Yiqing's information from his subordinate. He lit a cigarette, his expression unreadable.

"Is this all you found out?" Zhou Ding flicked the ash from his cigarette and spoke in a low voice.

His subordinate almost rolled his eyes. Seriously, boss, is it possible that I'm here working for you? I'm a programmer, not a detective! And now you're being picky about the results?

But as a humble employee, he still forced a smile and said, "The Jiang sir you asked me to investigate... his background is pretty simple."

Zhou Ding nodded, waved his hand, and told the subordinate to return to work.

The subordinate, who had just worked the whole night, muttered under his breath, "..." Damn it!

After everyone left, Zhou Ding finally picked up the materials on the desk and began examining them carefully. The more he read, the worse his expression became.

At that moment, Mei Qian walked over, placed a cup of tea in front of Zhou Ding, and asked, "Honey, what's wrong? Who upset you?"

Zhou Ding didn't say anything, but Mei Qian wasn't angry. In her good-natured way, she picked up the materials on the desk. As she flipped through them, her smile almost slipped.

She let out a fake, dramatic sigh. "Sigh, this child... he's had it tough all these years."

Zhou Ding snorted coldly, clearly disgusted. "No ambition!"

Zhou Ding's sudden thoughts about his son weren't due to any fatherly affection.

It all started when a friend of his—a developer—found his estranged son. To Zhou Ding's surprise, the son turned out to be quite capable. As soon as he returned home, he managed the family business with ease and even brought in a few big deals.

When they were together, they joked about how the developer friend had really hit the jackpot—he didn't have to raise a son, yet still benefited from all the gains.

Other people might have been joking, but Zhou Ding's mind started working, and he dug up memories of his son with his ex-wife. With his clear intentions, he began searching for his son.

What he didn't expect, though, was that his son was far worse than anyone else's. "He's about to ruin our family's reputation! How could he be involved in such disreputable things!"

Those who knew thought Jiang Yiqing was just doing a livestream, but those who didn't might have assumed he was involved in something shady. This made Zhou Ding furious.

Mei Qian pretended to comfort him with a few words, saying how tough it had been for this kid to grow up, but the more she spoke, the angrier Zhou Ding got. He waved his hand dismissively. "Enough! Don't defend him! From now on, I'll pretend I don't have this son!"

Mei Qian nearly burst out laughing. She had to struggle to keep her lips from curling up in amusement, pretending to hesitate. "This..."

Just then, Zhou Yuwen came back. He glanced at the materials on the table, which seemed to have a few photos included, and curiously asked, "Mom, Dad, what are you looking at?"

"This..." Mei Qian hadn't expected her son to come back so suddenly. She shot him a look, hesitating as she glanced at Zhou Ding.

Zhou Ding had been investigating the child between him and his ex-wife. Zhou Yuwen, of course, knew about this and was furious when he found out, smashing things in his room.

It was only after Mei Qian promised him that she would never let that bastard step into the Zhou family's door, that the Zhou family would always be his, that Zhou Yuwen calmed down.

After going through all this, Zhou Yuwen's feelings for Zhou Ding had faded quite a bit, but after all, Zhou Ding was the one in charge now. On the surface, he still pretended to be filial.

At this moment, seeing his mother signal him, Zhou Yuwen's expression darkened slightly, but his face still wore a smile.

Judging from his mother's expression, the other person probably wasn't a threat.

Sure enough, when Zhou Ding heard Zhou Yuwen's words, he just glanced casually at the documents on the table and snorted, "Forget it, it's not worth caring about."

Zhou Yuwen's smile grew wider. He was actually a bit curious about what his half-brother was like.

Right now, the other person's file was casually lying on the table, and he could reach it with just a stretch of his hand. There was even a photo of the guy on it.

But as he was about to reach for it, his eyes fell on Zhou Ding's disdainful face, and he froze. Then, suddenly, he smiled.

Forget it, he was just someone who had been abandoned. Why should he care about that?

He didn't even need to spare him a single glance, after all, this person would never have the chance to stand in front of him again. Since that was the case, there was no need to care.

Thinking this, Zhou Yuwen relaxed and pulled his hand back, not sparing the file a single glance as he casually sat down on the sofa beside, watching his mother's performance.

The follow-up work would naturally be taken care of by his mother.

Sure enough, Mei Qian suddenly sighed and said, "Husband, after all... this is also your son."

Hearing this, Zhou Ding furrowed his brows and looked at Mei Qian with displeasure. "What's up with you today? Always defending him. Back then, when I wanted to look for him, you weren't happy."

"Eh, I just think this child is a bit pitiful." Mei Qian put on a sympathetic expression. "I originally thought he'd at least have his mother to take care of him, but who would've thought... he actually grew up in the mountains."

Someone who grew up in the mountains—what could he possibly know? Zhou Ding had originally hesitated about whether to bring him back to see if he could be trained, but after hearing this, he immediately dismissed the thought.
