In this modern information society, it’s easy to find someone.

Zhu Wentao instructed someone to investigate, but after three days, there was no trace.

This girl was a great benefactor to the Shen family. Mr. Shen Zhou believed in repaying kindness, especially lifesaving ones like this.

The Elder had been out of danger and transferred to a general ward yesterday morning. Mr. Shen Zhou had been by his side, taking personal care of him. With all the company affairs piling up on him, he barely had time to catch his breath and drink some water. It had been three days, and there was still no trace of the girl who saved his life. He sighed softly.

In this day and age, there are still people who do good deeds without leaving their names behind. They should know they saved the life of the famous Mr. Shen Zhou’s father.

However, without noble morals, it’s impossible for someone to step forward in the face of suspicion.

Even Shen Ke admired her.

At this time, the secretary entered with a knock on the door: “Secretary Shen, there is a person outside claiming to be the president’s secretary of Zhu Group, who wants to see you. He says there’s an important matter to discuss with you.”

Shen Ke understood the other party’s intention upon hearing this. As he quickly signed the documents, he said, “Tell him I’m busy.”

The secretary came in after a while and said, “He said he would wait until you’re willing to see him. He also mentioned that the two of you came from the same place and should be considered hometown friends. He brought you some local specialties.”

The secretary said this while placing a gift box of local specialties on the desk.

Shen Ke curved his lips, Zhu Wentao was quite impatient.

Shen Ke glanced at the secretary without saying anything. The secretary was terrified and trembled, “Did I…did I do something wrong?”

“Copy the secretary’s code of conduct 100 times and deduct three months’ bonus.”

The secretary obediently complied, thinking Secretary Shen was still as impartial as ever.

As she turned to leave, she heard a cold voice behind her, “Take the gifts away.”

“If it happens again, you can leave.”

After finishing processing all the documents, it was already dusk. Looking at his watch, it was already seven o’clock.

Shen Ke picked up his coat from the side and draped it over his arm, loosened his tie, and walked out.

He guessed that Wang Zheng hadn’t left yet, so he took the VIP elevator straight to the underground parking lot.

Mr. Shen had other plans for the Zhu Group, and the time was not right yet.

Head home to change clothes first, then go to the hospital to visit Elder Theodore Shelby. After staying by his side for three days, it was time for the Elder to rest well and let him take the shift.

He lived in a high-end residential complex with an elegant and serene environment, nestled between the mountains and the sea. Many wealthy stars owned properties here.

While waiting for the elevator, he took out his phone and opened the video he had watched countless times.

She appeared to be a student by her age, but she did not wear a school uniform, so it was impossible to pinpoint which school she belonged to. At the time, the subway was packed, and as it was the busiest, that line had seven or eight high schools. To investigate one by one would take ages. Continuing in this manner would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

He was lost in thought for a moment, not realizing the elevator had arrived. There was one elevator per household, exiting the elevator was the entrance foyer.

“Uncle, you’re finally back! I’m so hungry, ” the teenager pounced over and acted coquettishly, hugging his arm.

“Eh? Uncle, you’re also watching this video?”

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Elder Shelby’s accident had been kept a secret. Although it was a hot topic on social media, everyone treated it as an ordinary old man having an emergency, and no one would associate the old man with Elder Theodore Shelby.

After all, how could Elder Shelby possibly take the subway?

Shen Ke nonchalantly nodded his head.

The teenager broke into a smile. “I never expected her to be so brave and kind. It’s a pity that I was one step behind, otherwise, I could have witnessed it personally.”

Shen Ke suddenly looked at him, “You know this girl?”

Zhao Heng was a little surprised by his uncle’s reaction. He said, “I don’t exactly know her, but I’ve seen her on the subway before. She was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but secretly follow her. One time, I finally gathered the courage to stand beside her and was about to ask for her WeChat ID, but someone suddenly appeared and ruined my plan. I missed the subway, and it was on that train that she saved someone’s life. That very night, when I saw this video, I recognized her immediately. I knew I wasn’t mistaken—she’s amazing. ”

He then laughed triumphantly.

Shen Ke never expected his nephew to have this kind of connection with the girl. He asked, “Can you find her?”

Zhao Heng looked at him cautiously, “What do you want with her?”

Shen Ke asked, “Do you know who she saved?”

Zhao Heng shook his head, “Isn’t it just an ordinary old man?” Shen Ke said word by word, “Elder Theodore Shelby.”

“What?” Zhao Heng exclaimed in disbelief.

Granny Zhu’s health improved day by day , but the atmosphere in the house grew more oppressive. The nanny was extremely cautious in her actions.

Granny Zhu counted the days, “Today is the fifth, right?”

Madam Zhou, while combing Granny Zhu’s hair, replied, “Yes, it is. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Ms. Ming Jing has been back for more than a month.”

“Ask Lin Qing about the welcome banquet for Ming Jing, planned for the eighth. Is everything ready? If not, don’t bother doing it. She has no real sense of being a mistress, and people laugh at her. ”

“Madam, don’t be angry. So many things have happened recently, perhaps the mistress cannot cope?”

“She could deal with one thing at a time. How can she not take care of her own child? She’s acting like she’s still twenty years old and being so willful.”

“Tell her that on the eighth, Ming Jing’s welcome banquet must be held. Make it beautiful and don’t let people laugh at us.”

As the words finished, there were footsteps behind them.

Madam Zhou turned her head to find Lin Qing with her makeup delicately done and dressed in neat, fashionable clothes. Her previous days’ depression and gloominess had vanished. Although not radiant, she looked dignified and proper.

Madam Zhou looked at her carefully, seeing no trace of sadness on her face, only calmness and composure. “Mother, how is your health?”

“That’s good. I plan to hold Ming Jing’s welcome banquet at Qingyang Hotel on the eighth. I already contacted the hotel. Here’s the guest list, please take a look and see if anyone is missing.”

Madam Zhou was surprised at Lin Qing. Was this the Madam she knew? Especially concerning Ms. Ming Jing, her attitude was so good.

Granny Zhu said, “I’m getting old and can’t handle everything. You can make the arrangements.”

“Alright, I’ll call and invite everyone this afternoon. You rest.” With that, she turned around and left.

Madam Zhou whispered, “What’s going on with Madam…?”

Granny Zhu sighed, “As long as the family is harmonious, everything can prosper. Perhaps this time, she has finally understood..”
