Chapter 105 Returning like an arrow
A week later, Yan Changye finally got a moment to catch his breath.

He was invited to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and took a seat in the VIP booth specially prepared for him by the organizers. Amidst the elegant attire, beautiful women, and fine wine, Yan Changye sipped his wine leisurely and flipped through the Victoria's Secret catalog, ignoring the enthusiastic stares around him.

The show's manager personally poured him a drink and respectfully introduced him in English:
"Dear Mr. Xie, today's show brings together the world's top models and designers, and the style is all based on your usual preferences. I believe you will enjoy it."

This was a top-tier show specially arranged for Xie Yunxi, the CEO of the Xie conglomerate.

The recent feud between the Sherlock Holmes and BlackRock has been making headlines. The Sherlock Holmes CEO used extremely ruthless methods to expel BlackRock's capital from the country, gaining immense popularity. Countless international conglomerates are eager to curry favor with him, and this Victoria's Secret fashion show is one of their methods of currying favor.

There are many rumors about Xie Yunxi, a member of the Xie family tycoon. It is said that he is handsome, only likes Eastern beauties, and is a womanizer.

The person in charge saw this person today and made no comment on anything else, but his face was so striking that even this Western man, who is usually insensitive to East Asian faces, couldn't take his eyes off him.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly: This Mr. Xie himself is such a disgrace to the country, no matter how beautiful the oriental models he prepares are, they probably won't catch his eye...

really.

For nearly an hour, the beauties walked the dazzling catwalk in sexy lingerie, but Yan Changye only glanced at them briefly before looking away.

Instead, she picked up her phone and took pictures of each item in the album, not even knowing who she sent them to.

imperial capital.

Jiang Manman stared at the pile of sexy lingerie pictures that Yan Changye had sent her on her phone, and remained silent for a few seconds.

Jiang Manman: [I've seen you guys and that foreign conglomerate trending on social media every day lately, and you still have the leisure to watch fashion shows?]

Y: [I only have two hours of free time, so I came out for a quick look around. I have a negotiation meeting this afternoon.]

Y: [Honey, pick out a few sets. Your husband will bring them back to you in a few days.]

Jiang Manman: 【…You still have the mind to think about these things?】

Y: [Of course I want to, otherwise why would I send you photos every day?]

Jiang Manman: [I don't want to choose, just pick a few items.]

Y: [Hmm]

Y: [Thank you for being good today?]

Jiang Manman: [You ask him two or three times a day if he's being good. Why are you suddenly so concerned?]

Y: [Heh]

Jiang Manman: [She's very well-behaved every day. I don't have time to take care of her during the day, so I've left her with my younger brother.]

Y: [Okay, make sure he behaves. I'll head back after the negotiation meeting, which will probably take about three more days.]

Jiang Manman: [Okay]

Yan Changye sent another selfie from the fashion show and ended the chat.

Beside him, Shen Zongqian had just finished a private conversation with the bodyguards of Villa No. 2 in the capital and began his routine report to Yan Changye:

"Boss, today was another peaceful day. Young Master Yan spent two hours streaming live at the villa, spending over a million yuan on virtual gifts. In the afternoon, he had his bodyguards take him around the capital without disturbing the peace or causing any disturbances, and strictly followed traffic rules."

"Young Master Xie and Jiang Che attended a class reunion, where they were favored by all the girls and received a lot of snacks. They had a blast at the amusement park in the afternoon, without causing any trouble or doing anything reckless."

Yan Changye gave a relaxed "hmm".

Shen Zongqian also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he learned that the two young masters had gone to the capital, Yan Changye had Shen Zongqian keep a close watch on them. Fortunately, the two young masters have been behaving themselves these past few days, which has kept Yan Changye in check.

Shen Zongqian's only prayer now is that the two young masters continue to behave themselves, so that Yan Changye can focus on completing the negotiation process in the last few days.

The fashion show ended. Yan Changye handed the catalog to the person in charge: "Pack up the outfits I just circled. I've marked the sizes in the catalog—they must be brand new and untouched."

After saying that, he ignored the eager looks around him and left without looking back.

The capital city, Shenghe Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

This private hospital, owned by the Liu family in Beijing, has been established for over ten years and enjoys a considerable reputation in the capital.

Ning Xinyue sat in the director's office with a cold expression, asking the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department to prescribe medicine for her.

"Madam, we need the Second Young Master's permission to prescribe birth control pills for you," the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department said somewhat awkwardly. "Could you please allow me to call the Second Young Master first?"

"It's fine, go ahead and hit me. Liu Zhi is just hoping I won't have children," Ning Xinyue sneered.

While the head of obstetrics and gynecology was on the phone, she got up and slowly strolled around the office, her eyes sweeping over the various documents.

Yet, I felt an indescribable anxiety in my heart.

For a whole week, she wandered around the Liu family's various businesses, but aside from a few minor, harmless incidents, she found almost nothing of value. She also vaguely heard rumors that the Liu family's young masters had been very cautious lately, secretly transferring various documents, treating her like a thief. She tried everything, but couldn't even get close to them.

Today, under the pretext of coming to the hospital to get medicine, she wandered around the various departments again, spending two whole hours without getting anything.

Undeterred, she even sat in on several supposedly private high-level meetings as a shareholder and young mistress. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, she keenly noticed that as soon as she sat down, the third young master of the Liu family, who was presiding over the meeting, immediately changed the agenda.

It's not just ordinary defense against her.

Ning Xinyue was inwardly furious, but she had to pretend to be nonchalant. After the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department finished his phone call and prescribed her medicine, she got up to leave.

A medical worker from the publicity department walked in carrying a large stack of documents:
"Director, these are the original medical records for next month's promotional materials. We've obtained consent from all the other patients, but we can't reach this most unusual case by phone."

The head of the obstetrics and gynecology department nodded and said, "Many patients don't want their personal information to be made public. If we can't contact them, we just let it go."

The medical staff were unwilling to accept this: "But that case almost exhausted all the resources of our department at the time, and we even brought in experts and professors from the top hospitals in the capital. It should be considered the most typical of our rescue cases."

“There’s nothing we can do about that; we have to respect the patient’s privacy,” the obstetrician said. “Let’s change the case.”

The medical staff quietly took out the top case file separately: "Then I will archive this special case."

Ning Xinyue glanced at it casually out of curiosity.

But on that thin medical record, I saw a familiar name.

She suddenly froze!

Then, they followed the medical staff out one after the other.

When they were alone, Ning Xinyue coughed lightly: "Could I take a look at your medical records?"

The medical staff hesitated: "Young Madam, this..."

“I’m a shareholder in the hospital, so I’m not exactly an outsider,” Ning Xinyue smiled. “Besides, I’m still a member of the Liu family, so there’s no reason for me to harm my own hospital. I have a wide network of connections; perhaps I can contact the patient you’re looking for. How about I give it a try?”

The medical staff thought for a moment, then covered the bottom half of the medical record, leaving only the top contact section visible:

"Young Madam, I can only show you the name and phone number, please forgive me."

Ning Xinyue said gently, "Of course."

Her gaze fell on the medical record once again.

That was a production record—

Jiang Manman.
