“No need!”

Zhou Chao had just reached the doorway when he stopped in his tracks. He turned back and asked, “Li Wei, ask Wang Lan if she wants to return to Jingdu. I’m heading back, and 1’11 arrange her work while I’m at it.”

“I’ll call her over right away,” Li Wei said as he dialed Wang Lan’s number.

Soon, Wang Lan arrived at Li Wei’s office.

“Boss, do you need something?”

“I just wanted to ask if you want to come back to Jingdu. If you do, you can come with me.”

Wang Lan glanced at Li Wei, and Li Wei nodded lightly. They had already discussed it last night, and Wang Lan’s return would allow them to prepare for the wedding in advance.

“Boss, I’ll go back with you. Just give me a moment to pack my things.”

Zhou Chao nodded and the group left the steel plant.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chao, Lin Wu, and Wang Lan were driving to Fengtian in a rented car.

During the journey, they didn’t waste much time. They had a quick lunch in a town they passed by. By the time the three of them reached the airport, it was already past one in the afternoon.

“Boss, is this your plane?” Wang Lan looked at the massive aircraft in disbelief.

“Yes, let’s get on board,” Zhou Chao said, walking toward the plane. Wang Lan, still in disbelief, quickly followed.

As soon as they boarded the plane, Wang Lan couldn’t help but explore like a child in a wonderland. Zhou Chao, engrossed in a book, paid no attention to her.

The plane took off quickly. Wang Lan, still exploring, started a conversation with Lin Wu. From Lin Wu, she got a rough idea of her boss’ true power. Even though the Fuxing Steel Plant was already one of the top five companies in the country, it was just the tip of the iceberg of her boss’s business empire.

The plane landed at Jingdu Airport in no time.

“You don’t need a ride?”

“No need, Boss. I’ll just take a taxi home.”

“Alright. Tomorrow, you’ll report to Huabin Golf Club. I’ll inform the person in charge there.”

“Yes, Boss!” Wang Lan said, and she left in a taxi.

Once Wang Lan was gone, Lin Wu asked, “Boss, should we take a taxi home too?”

“We’ll take the Rolls-Royce from the airport parking lot. I left it there. You go ahead and drive it, and I’ll wait here for you,” Zhou Chao said, taking out a key from his pocket. It was the key to the Rolls-Royce he had left in the warehouse before leaving Jingdu.

In less than five minutes, Lin Wu drove the Phantom and stopped in front of Zhou Chao.

“Lin Wu, while leaving, make sure Shoufu has enough cat food for a few days,” Zhou Chao suddenly remembered the cat he left alone at home.

“Could something have happened?” Zhou Chao couldn’t help but worry.

After some consideration, he decided to call his father-in-law, Jiang Youdao, to inquire if Jiang Li had returned home.

Jiang Youdao answered the phone promptly, “Xiao Chao, what’s going on?”

“Dad, I want to know where Jiang Li is. I can’t reach her on her phone!”

“Oh, you’re back in Jingdu? Jiang Li is at her grandfather’s house, and Xiaofeng is back.”

“Xiaofeng is back? Why didn’t he call me? Thanks, Dad, I’ll hang up and go to Grandpa Xiao’s house.”

“Okay.”

After Jiang Youdao hung up, Zhou Chao grabbed his keys and headed out, muttering to himself, “Xiaofeng, you’re so unreliable. You didn’t even call me when you got back. Let’s see how I’ll deal with you tonight!”

By the time Zhou Chao arrived at the Xiao family’s residence near Shichahai, it was already six o’clock, and there was some traffic on the way.

“Oh, I won’t make it for dinner if I don’t hurry,” he thought as he parked the car and quickly walked towards the alley.

Zhou Chao hurriedly emerged from the alley’s corner, making the two guards at the Xiao family’s gate tense up, their hands instinctively reaching for their waistbands.

“What are you doing here?” one of the young guards with a baby face shouted.

Hearing the voice, Zhou Chao immediately stopped in his tracks. He didn’t recognize either of the guards and, noticing their reactions, quickly said, “I...” “What’s T? This is a private residence. Please leave!”

Zhou Chao looked at himself and realized that he was still dressed in casual home clothes. He chuckled.

“Oops, I came out too quickly and forgot to change my clothes.”

Just as Zhou Chao was about to call someone to come and pick him up, a figure emerged from the main gate.

“Captain, someone tried to enter,” the young guard quickly reported.

Hearing this, the captain finally noticed Zhou Chao standing not far away.

“Oh, Young Master Zhou, why are you here?” the captain hurriedly approached.

Zhou Chao also recognized the guard as the one to whom he had given two packs of cigarettes earlier.

“Well, it’s a long story. Is Jiang Li here?”

“She is. There are quite a few people at home today.”

Zhou Chao nodded in response and walked inside.

As Zhou Chao entered the house, the young guard who had been worried earlier looked dejected, muttering to himself, “I’m in trouble, I must have offended him just now!”

“Don’t worry about it. Trust me, Young Master Zhou isn’t as petty as you think.” “Really, Captain?” The young guard’s face lit up with surprise.

“Have 1 ever lied to you?” the captain replied, not too pleased with his subordinate’s behavior..
