Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Wei Shixu was playing with a worn-out basketball nearby and said, "Everything's been arranged. They'll contact you soon."

Quan Zhisui asked, "Adults?"

Wei Shixu replied, "Not necessarily. It might be soon, but remember, you're the one in charge."

Quan Zhisui nodded, "Of course. I won't let them lead me around."

Wei Shixu added, "The keys and passwords to the safe are in the hands of those people overseas. No one knows what's inside, not even them."

Quan Zhisui was puzzled, "The people overseas haven't opened it?"

Wei Shixu shook his head, "No."

Quan Zhisui was surprised, "Who are those people?"

Wei Shixu smiled, "The original team from Mu You Venture Capital."

Quan Zhisui's pupils contracted, and her heart raced!

Wei Shixu continued, "When your mother was pregnant with you, she found out your father was cheating. She chose to keep you and started preparing for the future. Those people took a large amount of money abroad, under her command, and entered the international venture capital scene."

Quan Zhisui asked, "And now that overseas venture capital company..."

Wei Shixu raised an eyebrow, "If your mother were still alive, she would undoubtedly be incredibly wealthy. Unfortunately, she passed away after giving birth to you. They could only rely on the analysis and directions she left behind to make decisions. They're certainly rich, but not outrageously so."

Not everyone had the terrifying judgment of Quan Feng!

Quan Zhisui fell silent.

She glanced at her phone. Zuo Zhiyu had been frantically trying to contact her recently, sounding desperate.

"By the way," Wei Shixu added, "Zuo Zhiyu doesn't know about the overseas venture capital company. He only knows about the bank safe."

Quan Zhisui quietly began to think.

Wei Shixu walked over and gently touched her face, "Can I kiss you?"

"No," Quan Zhisui refused instantly.

Wei Shixu smirked, "What if I force it?"

Quan Zhisui warned, "I'll hit you."

She then chuckled, "I almost forgot, you don't mind getting hit. In fact, you even pay people to beat you up sometimes."

Wei Shixu shrugged, "It's different. If you hit me, I'll be sad."

Quan Zhisui studied him carefully, trying to determine if he was serious.

Wei Shixu met her gaze calmly and asked, "When will it be okay?"

Quan Zhisui didn't respond.

Wei Shixu nodded, "That's fine. I can wait."

Quan Zhisui was living comfortably at Wei Shixu's place. He kept his promise, giving her complete freedom without any restrictions.

Even when Zhuge Ying invited Quan Zhisui out, Wei Shixu didn't follow. He simply let her choose any car and driver she wanted.

"As long as you don't leave Liangxi Town, you can do whatever you want," he said.

He added, "If you must leave Liangxi Town, take me with you."

He didn't make excessive demands, spending his days playing with his worn-out basketball and sleeping.

However, he insisted on holding her hand everywhere they went, even during meals.

He also started showering her with gifts—clothes, shoes, and bags—like a shopaholic.

The walk-in closet, larger than the one at the Zuo residence, was quickly filled with clothes for every season.

Finally, after five days, Quan Zhisui couldn't take it anymore. She snatched his phone and said, "Stop buying! I can't wear all of this!"

Wei Shixu blinked, "Just one more. That one looks good."

Quan Zhisui snapped, "Wei Shixu, are you dressing up a doll?"

Wei Shixu smiled, "That's a fitting description."

Quan Zhisui groaned, "Stop buying! Deciding what to wear every day is giving me a headache!"

Wei Shixu nodded thoughtfully, "You're right. I'll help you pick outfits."

Quan Zhisui insisted, "Just stop buying!"

Wei Shixu agreed, "Alright, no more for now. We'll wait until you've worn all of these."

...

After Quan Zhisui moved into Wei Shixu's place, it seemed like she had vanished from the outside world.

Wei Shixu erased all traces of her presence.

Zuo Zhiyu was frantic, unable to find her anywhere. He even went to Wudang Mountain but still came up empty-handed.

The only person who could reach Quan Zhisui was Zuo Zichen, who confirmed that she was still alive.

Calling the police was useless because she wasn't missing—it was just a family dispute, a runaway case.

And if they dug deeper into the dispute, it would only bring up the Zuo family's scandals, making them the laughingstock of Liangxi Town.

Zuo Zhiyu had no choice but to keep traveling between the two cities.

A few days later, Zuo Zichen called again.

"Sis," ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍Zuo Zichen's voice sounded hesitant, "My mom wants to talk to you."

Quan Zhisui was surprised, "Your mom? Are you sure it's her and not your dad?"

Zuo Zichen nodded, "Yeah. My dad has been asking me about you too, about school stuff, but I told him I didn't know anything. This time, it's my mom, and she's reaching out behind my dad's back."

Quan Zhisui asked, "What does she want from me?"

"I don't know," Zuo Zichen replied. After a pause, he added, "Oh, there's something I haven't told you."

"What is it?" Quan Zhisui asked.

Zuo Zichen took a deep breath and said slowly, "My mom and your mom were college classmates."

Quan Zhisui was stunned. After a long silence, she said, "Tell her to wait for my call."

"Okay," Zuo Zichen said nothing more and hung up.

A moment later, he left his room and glanced downstairs.

The Zuo household was in chaos again, as usual.

Hou Qiaoling was in full form, hurling insults at Zuo Zhaoyuan and Zhang Liufang.

Xu Zhiyi was no match for her.

Zuo Zichen went up to the third floor and knocked on Xu Zhiyi's door.

Xu Zhiyi had locked herself in, terrified of Hou Qiaoling. She shouted from inside, "Who is it?"

Zuo Zichen replied, "It's me."

Xu Zhiyi quickly opened the door, pulled her son inside, and locked it again.

Zuo Zichen looked at her, feeling conflicted.

Xu Zhiyi asked anxiously, "Did you reach Quan Zhisui? Did you tell her?"

Zuo Zichen nodded, "I told her. She said to wait for her call."

Xu Zhiyi was frantic, "When will she call? Did she say anything else? And why didn't you call me immediately after contacting her?"

Zuo Zichen retorted, "Do I have any say in her matters? Can I argue with her?"

Xu Zhiyi was taken aback and scolded, "What kind of attitude is that?"

Zuo Zichen said, "Just wait. I'm going to do my homework."

Xu Zhiyi exclaimed, "How can you think about homework at a time like this?"

Zuo Zichen ignored her and walked out, leaving Xu Zhiyi to lock the door again, hiding from Hou Qiaoling as if she were a predator.

...

Quan Zhisui didn't contact Xu Zhiyi right away. Instead, she made her wait.

During this time, Zuo Zichen didn't call but sent a few messages updating Quan Zhisui on Xu Zhiyi's anxious state.

Quan Zhisui asked about the situation at the Zuo household, and Zuo Zichen told her everything, complaining about how the constant arguing made it impossible to focus on homework.

"Go to Zuo Zhiyu's company to study," Quan Zhisui suggested.

Zuo Zichen went the next day and started going every day afterward, even considering sleeping at Zuo Zhiyu's office.

Zuo Zhiyu's trips between the two cities decreased significantly. He had to return to the Zuo household to deal with the mess because of his precious son.

Once again, Quan Zhisui had dragged Zuo Zhiyu into the chaos!

The Zuo family was in complete disarray!

Quan Zhisui was enjoying her little game of fishing!
