investigate this""Bingbing, many people know that it was my instruction for you to investigate. Since I'm under a lot of pressure now and there's no evidence found, let’s wrap up the case as soon as...Chapter 972: Jiang Xiaoyi Has a Godfather As Well

Huo Yan hesitated for a moment but eventually spoke up, perhaps feeling guilty towards Liu Meng and Xia Tian. "It's just rumors that Yi Zhiyan is Jiang Xiaoyi’s godfather. It’s said that it was thanks to Yi Zhiyan’s strong support behind the scenes that she became such a famous big star."

"No way" Zhai Yu looked disappointed, "Jiang Xiaoyi has a godfather too I used to really like her and thought of her as an實力派 (talent), didn’t I!"

“Yu-yu, why does having a godfather mean you’re not a talent” Liu Meng asked curiously.

"Erm, Meng-meng姐 [sister], you really don't know" Zhai Yu stared at her in surprise. "The entertainment industry is pretty messed up; most of those so-called godfathers and goddaughters aren’t actually that sort of relationship!"

“Is it” Liu Meng tilted her head, thought for a moment, then shook her head. “I still don't get it. Forget it, I’m too lazy to ask.”

"Miss Liu, Mr. Xia, in any case you both should be more careful recently," Huo Yan added another reminder at this point. Having spent a long time in the entertainment industry, Huo Yan naturally knew many of its inside secrets; some female stars who say they are someone’s goddaughter are actually just mistresses under that title. However, those influential figures usually still treat these so-called goddaughters well before getting bored with them. If the rumors about Yi Zhiyan were true and he had been continuously supporting Jiang Xiaoyi behind the scenes, then Yi Zhiyan must have liked Jiang Xiaoyi a lot; now that something had happened to her, Yi Zhiyan definitely wouldn’t just sit by idly.

"It's simple, I'll just find him and take care of him." Summer doesn't think much of it and asks casually, "Hey, do you know where Yizhiyan lives"

"I really don't know about that," Huo Yan shakes his head. "Actually, I haven't met Yizhiyan personally. As far as I know, he hasn’t appeared in any public場合.

"Hiding like a coward, it's obvious he’s scared." Summer looks disdainfully at Huo Yan. "Never mind, as long as this person exists, I can find him."

Summer had just overheard part of the phone call between Huo Yan and his so-called boss, learning that the guy named Yizhiyan wanted to take revenge on him because of Jiang Xiaoyi's matter. He felt it safer to eliminate this potential threat before he could be retaliated against. However, similar to getting rid of Wei Jiahua earlier, finding the target first was essential; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with him.

Recalling how the little demoness found Wei Jiahua back then, Summer decided to entrust this honorable task to her again. Thus, he immediately called her.

"Honey, it's not even dark yet, why are you calling me" The little demoness was still groggy from sleep on the other end of the line.

"Why would you go to bed before it gets dark" Summer asks unhappily.

"Husband, I've always been a night owl, waking up when it's dark and sleeping when it's light."

"Wait till I go to the capital city. Then you won't be able to sleep during the day," Xia Tian said somewhat unhappily; if his fairy wife’s skin got ruined from her irregular schedule, what would become of her beauty

"Then we'll talk about it when you get here. Good night!" The little fairy seemed still half-asleep.

"Don’t sleep just yet. I need your help with something," Xia Tian said; he hadn’t gotten down to business, so of course he couldn’t let the fairy off that easily.

The little fairy perked up immediately: "Husband, does this mean there's another computer for me to hack"

"Nope, not hacking. I need you to find someone," Xia Tian said quickly; "Find a guy named Yi Zhiyan—apparently he’s very wealthy and is the godfather of that hideous superstar Jiang XiaoYi."

“Oh, okay then! Husband, I’ll look for him after I wake up!” The little fairy clearly wasn’t as interested in finding someone as she was in hacking into computers. As soon as she said this, she hung up the call.

Summer wasn't in a rush either, so she didn't call the little fairy to催促.

Huo Yan saw that Summer actually wanted to deal with Yi Zhiyan first and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but hesitated and ended up not saying anything.

At this moment, Wu Anfeng hung up the phone, walked over with a look of joy on his face: "Mr. Xia, Miss Liu, I have already reached an initial agreement with Mr. Qiao. He will come to discuss specific cooperation and establish a contract as soon as tomorrow. We will quickly prepare for this, and I estimate that we can start filming right after the New Year."

"So it's only going to begin shooting after the New Year" Liu Meng sounded somewhat disappointed, "Then what should I do now"

Zhai Yuan hurriedly said: "Dreamy Sister, there are still a lot of things to do before formal filming starts such as selecting costumes and preparing scripts." If it's going to start shooting after the New Year, then we need to prepare right away!

"Oh, that sounds about right," Liu Meng immediately brightened up.

Summer asked at this moment: "Where are you planning to shoot this movie"

Summer asked this for a reason; he didn't want Liu Meng to be too far from him.

"Actually, our main filming locations are on Green Peak Mountain, which is why we're here. However, the current transportation and communication facilities there aren’t very convenient. We’re trying to find an appropriate location to set up a base camp. Once that’s ready, the production team can officially move in," Wu Anfeng explained.

Summer didn't ask any more questions. Green Peak Mountain wasn't far away, and he wouldn't mind Liu Meng going there to film.

"Honey, someone's calling..." Summer’s phone rang at this moment.

He looked at his phone and saw that it was Qiao Xiaoqiao who was calling. Instead of immediately answering the call, he asked, "Wife, what is it"

"Honey, can you come over here for a while Someone’s looking for you," Qiao Xiaoqiao said softly.

"Oh, okay, I’ll be right there." Summer agreed but felt a bit puzzled. Who could it be

Summer quickly returned to the Dongsheng Grand Hotel, but Liu Meng did not come back with him. She was still staying in the villa, as Zhai Yuan had invited her to read scripts together.

Qiao Xiaoqiao's room door was open, so Summer walked straight in and saw that Qiao Xiaoqiao, Qiao Feng'er, and Qiao Huang'er were all inside. Besides them, there was also a refined-looking man in his forties.

Upon seeing Summer enter, Qiao Feng'er instinctively shifted her gaze away, feeling somewhat awkward about recent events.

"Husband, you're back!" Qiao Feng'er greeted Summer softly and then introduced the gentleman to him, "This is Secretary Zhao Mingchao of Muyang County's Communist Party Committee. He says he has an important matter to discuss with you."

"County Party Secretary" Summer looked at Zhao Mingchao in puzzlement. "What important matter do you need to discuss with me Could it be that you're planning to sell Qingfeng Mountain to us"

At this moment, Zhao Mingchao stood up and did something that surprised Qiao Xiaoqiao and the other two women: he bowed deeply before Summer, a gesture rarely seen nowadays. "Greetings, Mr. Xia!"eriod of sleep, Xia Tian woke up due to the sound of his phone ringing.Picking up the phone, he saw that it was a call from Zhao Qingqing and hung up without hesitation—he was in bed with his wife and...
