My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

After dinner,

Shen Beishan did not linger any longer and quickly left the Liu family. Only Su Muchen could see through the old man's thoughts in his hurried manner; he was obviously rushing back to study the book "Complete Record of Medical Treatment".

"Mr. Su, we have the invitation now, but there's still a problem. I only have 50 million yuan at my disposal, which was left to me by my mother. Our Liu family's assets are tied to Liu's Jewelry. If we use the Liu family's funds, it will inevitably attract the attention of my uncle and his family. With just 50 million yuan, how is it possible to bid for a 300 million yuan rough stone at the rough stone auction? What do you suggest we do?"

Now that she has the invitation, Liu Ziyan faces another problem: insufficient funds. Obviously, it is impossible for her to use Liu's funds.

"Oh, I thought you were worried about something. Leave the funding to me. Fifty million is enough. Let's go. We'll head to Subei City tonight to avoid any unforeseen problems the next day."

"Well... okay!"

Although Liu Ziyan didn't know where Su Muchen got his confidence from, being able to auction off a raw stone worth 300 million with a mere 50 million, she trusted Su Muchen for some reason. She didn't know why, and she couldn't even explain this feeling to herself.

Liu Ziyan instructed the family driver to send her younger brother, Liu Zihao, to the home of a close friend for two or three days, so that she could pick him up after she resolved the matter with Liu's Jewelry.

Without informing anyone, Liu Ziyan drove herself, taking Su Muchen directly onto the highway leading to Subei City in Jiangnan Province.

Just one hour after Liu Ziyan and Su Muchen left the Liu family, in the servants' quarters, the housekeeper, Wang Ma, slowly woke up.

"Strange, how did I suddenly fall asleep? Oh no... something's wrong..."

Wang Ma, who had just woken up, seemed to have thought of something. She rushed out of the servants' room like the wind, searched the entire villa, and finally collapsed onto the living room floor.

Wang Ma shakily pulled her phone out of her pocket and reluctantly dialed a number.

"Mr. Liu... I'm sorry, I didn't keep a close eye on Miss Liu, and now I don't know where she is."

Wang Ma's voice trembled noticeably, clearly indicating that she was terrified of Mr. Liu on the other end of the phone.

"You can't even do this simple thing right, what use are you to me? Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"I don't know what happened either. After dinner, Miss asked the driver to take the young master away from the Liu family. I was afraid that Miss would suspect something, so I didn't go close to listen carefully. I thought I could ask the driver when he came back."

"After that, I kept an eye on Miss Liu and noticed that she seemed to be getting ready to go out. But for some reason, I suddenly fell asleep in my room. When I woke up, Miss Liu was no longer at home, one of the cars in the garage was missing, and the driver who took the young master was nowhere to be seen. His phone was switched off. Mr. Liu, do you think Miss Liu suspects me?"

"It seems that little girl Liu Ziyan has noticed something, and your identity must have been exposed. By the way, did the two siblings come back today with anything unusual?"

"I haven't noticed anything unusual, but this afternoon Miss brought back a man. I saw that Miss was very respectful to him, but he was dressed in rags and ate like a starving ghost at dinner, eating the food for several people by himself. He must be from the countryside."

"Why would Liu Ziyan bring a man home from the countryside? And what else?"

"Later, around dinner time, an old man came. It seemed like he knew that country bumpkin. But I felt like I'd seen him somewhere before, though I couldn't quite place him."

"You country bumpkin, old man, what exactly is Liu Ziyan trying to do? Does she still think she can turn the tables? Dream on... Alright, since you've already been exposed, you can leave now. I'll transfer the money to your account. Also, you should know what to say and what to do, otherwise, hmph..."

"I know, Mr. Liu. I'll pack my things and go back to my hometown right away. Don't worry, I definitely won't say anything."

"Okay, go ahead!"

The man referred to as Mr. Liu by Wang Ma was none other than Liu Ziyan's uncle, Liu Xianghong. Wang Ma, Liu Ziyan's housekeeper, was sent by Liu Xianghong to monitor the actions of Liu Ziyan and her brother so that she could report to him at any time.

"Useless thing, if it weren't for this crucial moment, I definitely wouldn't have kept you alive."

Liu Xianghong slammed his fist on the desk. He was furious. The shareholders' meeting of Liu's Jewelry was just one day away, at which time he would be able to take full control of Liu's Jewelry and become the true head of the Liu family.

But at this crucial moment, this incident occurred, which made him feel uneasy. Could it be that Liu Ziyan still had some trump cards up her sleeve?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. This little girl is just a clueless brat, and among the people she knows, no one has the ability to help her. Want to turn things around? Dream on. In just one more day, Liu's Jewelry will be mine, Liu Xianghong's."

Although he felt a little uneasy, Liu Xianghong firmly believed that Liu Ziyan had no chance of turning the tables. He kept a close eye on her, both in terms of money and connections. It was simply impossible for Liu Ziyan to rely on the resources of Liu's Jewelry to make a comeback.

Despite this thought, Liu Xianghong still called in his personal bodyguard just to be on the safe side.

"Ah Biao, immediately mobilize all manpower to investigate. I need to know Liu Ziyan's location and what she's planning to do. Also, find out where she sent her younger brother, Liu Zihao. Report back to me as soon as you find out."

"Yes, Master Liu!"

This Ah Biao was Liu Ziyan's father's former bodyguard. As soon as Liu Ziyan's father passed away, he immediately switched sides to Liu Xianghong's camp and has now become Liu Xianghong's loyal lackey.

"Hmph, a little girl who hasn't even grown her first hairs yet, dares to mess with me? She's still too green."

Urban area of ​​Subei City

After a long journey of more than six hours, Su Muchen and Liu Ziyan finally arrived in Subei City. To their dismay, they found that all the hotels in the city were fully booked and there was not a single available room.

"Miss Liu, this is already the ninth one. This can't go on forever."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Su Muchen couldn't help but complain. The two of them had spent more than an hour visiting nine hotels, all of which were fully booked.

"I didn't expect this auction to be so popular; every hotel was fully booked."

Liu Ziyan was also very frustrated. If they couldn't find a hotel to stay in, they might have to spend the night in the car.

"I don't believe it! Let's go, that hotel up ahead looks pretty upscale, and it's so high up, it can't be completely full!"

Su Muchen pointed to a hotel a few hundred meters ahead. The hotel did look very high-end. It was not only twenty or thirty stories high, but the exterior walls were also illuminated, making it look very luxurious at first glance.

Liu Ziyan stepped on the gas, and the car headed towards the hotel not far away. As the car got closer and closer to the hotel, the name of the hotel gradually became clearer.

"Wynn Grand Hotel"

This is an international brand chain hotel. Although this particular one is not a star-rated hotel, this brand has five-star and seven-star hotels in many major cities.
