Because Wang Cheng was about to go abroad, he often appeared in public with Chu Yifeng. Although they were occasionally intimate, privately, it was not anything particularly out of the ordinary. Zhao Chenlin and Wei Wei asked the private eye to continue tracking them. Xie Wenzhi was almost done passing his work down to his successor, Zhang Wu. However, Zhang Wu had to rush a bit to hand things over to his own successor. After all, Xie Wenzhi got the warning earlier. Since Zhang Wu’s father agreed to help, Zhang Wu was able to find a flight and come after three days. Wang Cheng went to the airport to pick him up.

This was not Zhang Wu’s first time coming to the Imperial Capital, but this visit was definitely novel compared to his last.

Wang Cheng asked Zhang Wu if he needed a break after the flight, but he replied that he didn’t. So, the two of them went directly to the company, where Xie Wenzhi was already waiting for them. His job was quite important, so he wasn’t at ease letting just anyone take on his role. He intended to meet Zhang Wu in person.

Zhang Wu's adaptability was very strong and he was also a hard worker, so Xie Wenzhi was very satisfied with him. He even later surprised President Feng by praising Zhang Wu in his presence.

Facts proved that they indeed trusted the right person.

Mother Zheng was quite reluctant when she learned that Wang Cheng was going abroad for a while, so she simply moved into the Zhou house for the past few days. Wang Cheng's plan to stay with Chu Yifeng was ruined once again. However, Chu Yifeng was able to spend this time investigating the jade pendant.

A jade pendant made of imperial jadeite was indeed not something any ordinary rich family could have. So, Chu Yifeng was soon able to find some useful information. This type of jade was relatively rare, so as soon as it appeared, there was bound to be a lot of noise. Chu Yifeng was able to find two clues through the jewelry industry.

In recent years, top-quality jade had rarely been seen. Fortunately, the years where such jade stones were present were recorded. Chu Yifeng discovered that two pieces of top-quality jade did indeed appear around 50 years ago.

The first piece of top-quality jade appeared in a jewelry family that was famous at the time. The jewelry family was called Zhuge, and they were rumored to be the descendants of Kong Ming* - who knew if that was true or not. However, the Zhuge family was not famous for that rumor, but for their jewelry. The Zhuge family had been in the jewelry business for generations, and owned many rare and exotic treasures, which included imperial jade, among others.
