I got up to open the door and saw Su Jiayi standing outside, which put my mind at ease.

He came to knock on the door specifically to tell me that Fu Xinyi had left and to ask if there was anything else I could help with.

I shook my head. No matter what, today's events had dragged him down to some extent, and he might even hold a grudge against Fu Xinyi. "If you ever run into Fu Xinyi in the future, and he ever makes things difficult for you, you can always ask me for help."

“You’re the largest shareholder of my company, so you don’t need to be so polite with me about this.” Su Jiayi waved her hand, clearly not caring.

Before leaving, he suddenly paused, glancing towards the house. "Be careful during this time. It's best not to go out alone."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left. It seems he knew there were other people in my room, and he may have already guessed who they were.

Perhaps seeing that I didn't choose to say it outright, he didn't bring it up at this time either.

After he left, I returned to my room, and at that moment Ge Zeyu suggested that I go somewhere with him.

I nodded, went outside to observe the surroundings, and then drove the car out, taking Ge Zeyu to our destination.

Following his directions, the car arrived at the foot of the mountain outside a manor, which can be described as a leisure and vacation resort.

The owner of Shanshui Manor is very mysterious and I heard he is quite young. He doesn't usually show his face in front of outsiders, and he even decides to entertain guests based on his mood.

The owner of this manor was the reliable friend that Ge Zeyu had mentioned. After we went inside, someone guided us to the deepest part of the manor.

This is clearly a private residence, with a sign at the entrance warning that it is not open to the public. The iron gate is secured with a combination lock, and no one outside can open it without the authorization of the owner inside.

I followed Ge Zeyu into the house, and upon entering, I saw a young man whose appearance surprised me greatly.

I never expected that the friend Ge Zeyu mentioned was actually Xu Qing. The two of them had known each other for a long time, so Xu Qing had known for a long time that Ge Zeyu was not dead, but had kept it from me.

"You two are friends?" I couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Ge Zeyu nodded slightly and was about to introduce me when I interrupted him.

"No need for introductions, Mr. Xu, I know him quite well." My tone carried a hint of resentment. Xu Qing knew that Ge Zeyu and I had grown up together since childhood, and he had even deliberately tested me last time, so it was impossible for him not to know. I had always been worried about Ge Zeyu's situation.

Thinking of this, I took the initiative to step forward and asked in a leisurely tone, "Mr. Xu, did you enjoy watching my joke?"

Xu Qing chuckled lightly, then poured me a cup of tea and brought it to me. "I'm a cautious businessman. I won't easily agree to anything with you before I understand Miss Jiang's attitude. Besides, my relationship with Mr. Ge is a personal one, and it's a completely different matter from doing business."

Upon hearing our conversation, Ge Zeyu reacted at that moment, asking us when we had met.

I recounted everything that had happened during this time. Ge Zeyu raised his eyes to look at Xu Qing, then looked away and said to me, "I remember you really liked that 'King of Buildings,' didn't you? Now that it's sold, I still have a few properties under my name, and I can transfer them to yours."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then tapped the table with his index finger and said to Xu Qing in an extremely calm tone, "Now that I am a dead man, those shares under my name need to be transferred to another owner. Please help me transfer those shares under my name to Wanwan."

As soon as Ge Zeyu finished speaking, Xu Qing's expression became even more serious. Then she couldn't help but give a bitter laugh, her tone filled with resentment, "I only own a small portion of his company's shares, and you're already defending me? She didn't lose out by cooperating with me."

Ge Zeyu didn't respond to a word, but simply picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then slowly said that he did this to give me more leverage so that I could be more effective in dealing with Fu Xinyi.

I learned from their conversation that Ge Zeyu and Xu Qing had known each other for many years. Because Xu Qing's identity was rather sensitive and she had influence in Hong Kong and Macau, they were friends in private, and even their parents did not know about their relationship.

The two of them also invested in several plots of land. Although the land was all under Xu Qing's name, Ge Zeyu held shares in it.

Seeing Ge Zeyu's resolute attitude, Xu Qing sighed and turned to me, saying, "The land under my name is currently of no use. This time, in the development project in cooperation with the government, your father got the land. This land is in the west of the city, while the land under my name is in the east of the city. Rather than leaving it in your hands, it's better to leave it in my hands, as it has a greater potential for appreciation."

I quickly agreed to his suggestion. I knew that Ge Zeyu had said that to protect me; he has always been the type to defend his own.

However, since the three of us know each other, there's no need for this little friction to create any gaps in our cooperation.

When Xu Qing faced Ge Zeyu, although he still didn't have a smile on his face, his tone was much gentler. "In the past two or three days, I've been getting a lot of people contacting me who want to buy the land we own. I was originally thinking about whether to sell it to increase my assets."

"Everyone is buying up lots of land in the west of the city right now, and I'm thinking about whether I should get involved too."

He explained his plan and proposal. Ge Zeyu frowned slightly after listening and then asked, "Besides the Jiang family's land in the west of the city, who owns the surrounding land?"

Xu Qing shook his head, indicating that he did not know, but would have someone investigate.

Just as they were talking, Xu Qing's phone rang. After answering it, he noticed something the person on the other end said, and his expression became slightly strange. Then he looked up and glanced at Ge Zeyu.

After he hung up the phone, his tone became much more serious, "You two didn't bring any tails when you came, did you?"

"What's wrong?" I immediately asked back when I heard his question, guessing that something must have happened.

Xu Qing gave a soft hum, then said that a waiter outside had just approached him, saying that a Mr. Fu wanted to meet him.

When I heard him say that, my first thought was that Fu Xinyi had followed us and come looking for us.
