Chapter 85: Little Bean, How About a Checkup?
Xiao Wen's parents?
The true people in power behind the Xiao Group.
Several years ago, they disappeared. A few days before vanishing, they transferred all of their shares in the company to Xiao Wen's name and told him they were going on a trip.
But once they left, they were gone for years without a trace. There was no news, no contact, and even their phones could not be reached. To this day, Xiao Wen had never received any information about them.
The two of them seemed to have evaporated into thin air.
No matter how hard Xiao Wen searched, how much effort he spent, or even after filing a case with the Public Security Department, there had been no news whatsoever over the years.
Even until the moment Xiao Wen died in his previous life, there had still been no information.
Yet now, the woman before him was telling him that there was news!
Was it real?
Or was it fake?
Was it simply bait she had thrown out for him?
"A condition I can't refuse. Big sister not only drives like a pro, but your negotiation skills are first-rate too. If there's time, let's find a hotel and discuss it."
Only after a long while did Xiao Wen suppress the shock in his heart. Wearing a teasing smile and speaking with a somewhat carefree tone, he joked with Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu sized him up from head to toe, thought seriously for a moment, then smiled beautifully.
"This sister doesn't mind. But little bean, you're still a virgin, aren't you?"
"How good can a virgin's skills really be?"
"You keep verbally provoking an older sister like me. Are you trying to make me angry to attract my attention, or are you using this method to hide your unease?"
Xiao Wen froze.
The expression on his face became somewhat awkward, as though the mask he wore had been mercilessly torn away.
"A woman being too smart isn't necessarily a good thing. Let's be direct. Your offer is very tempting, and I have no reason to refuse it. In return, what do you need me to do?"
Xiao Wen looked at Jiang Liu and asked.
Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Jiang Liu's face.
"A guarantee letter and a cooperation declaration," Jiang Liu replied.
A guarantee letter?
When Xiao Wen heard those three words, his expression became somewhat strange.
As someone who had lived a second life, he was naturally familiar with such things.
It was a declaration specially introduced by the authorities to restrain players who had suddenly gained tremendous power through online games.
The so-called guarantee letter was simply a signed statement promising obedience to the management of the Public Security Department, promising not to commit wanton slaughter, not to nurture murderous intent unnecessarily, not to bully the weak because of one's strength, and various similar clauses.
Such provisions already existed in the law, but this version was more comprehensive and detailed.
In his previous life, he had only signed that agreement a year after the game's launch.
In this life, it was happening much earlier.
As for the cooperation declaration, it was even simpler—a basic document expressing mutual willingness to cooperate. It involved no benefits and merely served as proof of a friendly relationship between both parties.
"I'll sign."
After hesitating for a few seconds, Xiao Wen gave his answer.
"Good. However, both documents are at the bureau, so I'll need to trouble little brother to come with me. While we're at it, we've already arranged for the province's most authoritative doctors to perform a full physical examination on you."
Jiang Liu spoke before further presenting her request.
Everything had to be done step by step.
After all, one couldn't become fat in a single bite.
Especially when dealing with a wealthy young master like Xiao Wen.
"A physical examination isn't a problem. You're lacking data right now and want to gather enough information from me, correct?"
"But next time you speak, please remove the word 'little.' Otherwise, faced with such slander, it won't be happy."
It?
Jiang Liu blinked in confusion.
But in the next second, a blush immediately appeared on the face of this veteran tease.
She stood up and shot Xiao Wen a fierce glare.
"I'll go get the car. Meet me at the villa entrance."
With that, Jiang Liu turned and left.
Watching her departure, the smile on Xiao Wen's face gradually faded and turned cold.
Expressionless, he looked at the dining table before him while Jiang Liu's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.
They had information about his parents?
Was it true or false?
Regardless, even if it was fake, he had to investigate it.
With that thought, Xiao Wen called over Uncle Fu and informed him that he needed to visit the Public Security Department to handle some matters.
When Uncle Fu heard this, he immediately assumed his young master had gotten into trouble and instantly offered to contact a private lawyer.
Only after Xiao Wen spent quite some time explaining was he finally able to calm the old man down.
Afterward, Xiao Wen left the house.
Seeing Jiang Liu already waiting inside the car, he didn't stand on ceremony. He plopped himself directly into the passenger seat, relaxed comfortably, and enjoyed the faint fragrance filling the vehicle.
"I thought a young master like you would be used to sitting in the back seat," Jiang Liu said casually while driving.
"Your driving is too wild. I don't dare sit there," Xiao Wen replied with a grin.
Jiang Liu froze momentarily, then snorted and slammed down on the accelerator.
The car's speed instantly surged.
Then...
Xiao Wen pulled out his phone and recorded a short video of her.
He even filmed some of the rapidly passing scenery outside.
Jiang Liu frowned.
"Taking pictures of a woman without her permission is very rude."
"Don't misunderstand. This young master isn't interested in you. Driving at one hundred kilometers per hour inside the city—you were speeding. I have evidence now. Later I'll get a shot of the license plate too and report it to the Public Security Department for a reward."
"Knowing the law and breaking it anyway doubles the offense. My reward money should probably double as well."
"Thank you for your cooperation."
Xiao Wen answered with complete seriousness.
Screech—
The car suddenly braked sharply, producing an ear-piercing sound of friction.
The speed dropped instantly.
Jiang Liu's face darkened, her teeth grinding with frustration.
This damned brat!
She really wanted to punch him!
Meanwhile, Xiao Wen remained perfectly calm in the passenger seat and even twisted the knife a little deeper.
"There are thousands of roads. Safety comes first. Flooring the accelerator feels great for a moment, but the crematorium is forever."
The corners of Jiang Liu's mouth twitched.
Veins bulged on the hands gripping the steering wheel.
She forcefully suppressed the burning anger inside her and drove toward the Public Security Department.
After entering the compound, they drove directly toward a standalone building behind the main department.
The higher-ups had specially cleared this building for use as the office area of their Special Operations Group.
"Go on in. The team leader is waiting inside."
Xiao Wen nodded and walked toward the building.
However, just as he reached the entrance, he saw a scar-faced man with a fierce and intimidating aura walking out.
The next moment, their eyes met.
Both stopped simultaneously.
The standoff lasted nearly ten seconds before each withdrew their gaze and passed by one another.
"Sister Liu, who was that man just now?" Xiao Wen couldn't help but ask.
The pressure that man gave him was far greater than even Jiang Liu's.
"Our city's Director of the Public Security Department, Zhang Feng. I thought a rich young master like you would recognize him. Didn't expect your eyesight to be this poor."
She clicked her tongue before leading Xiao Wen into the building.
"I'll take you for a physical examination first."
