Alex's arrival brought a different atmosphere to the southern suburban villa. Although he only had Xuanxuan as his student, he also liked the cute and mischievous Xuxu very much. Soon, he was playing with the two kids.
First, he showed the two kids his magic skills in front of them. Then, he demonstrated his voice - changing ability, dubbing for an animated cartoon by playing several roles alone, which really amazed the two kids.
Xu Zixi shifted her gaze away from the figures playing in the middle of the living - room and asked Yan Yincheng in a low voice, "Brother Cheng, what's Alex's background exactly? Isn't he a military doctor? How can he change his voice? How did you get to know him? Do you think it's appropriate to let him teach Xuanxuan?"
She had so many questions in her heart that she just blurted them out all at once.
Yan Yincheng comfortingly ruffled her hair and said,
"Alex's parents were both subordinates who followed my godfather to immigrate to Texas in the early years. Because he has considerable medical talent and was a playmate of my godfather's biological son, he got my godfather's cultivation. After he completed his studies, he served as a military doctor. However, after he retired from the army, instead of staying in Texas, he came to Country C to find me."
"As for his voice - changing ability, it's a life - saving skill he learned on the battlefield."
"I know what you're worried about. He may seem a bit unreliable, but in fact, his personality is just suitable for Xuanxuan. This child is too sensitive and precocious. With Alex around, I believe he can become more active and be more like a three - year - old child."
Xuanxuan did finally show some naivety and childlike fun appropriate for his age because of Alex's arrival. This was something that she and Yan Yincheng, as his parents, couldn't bring to him.
However, she didn't expect that Alex was actually related to Yan Yincheng's godfather. Xu Zixi was now becoming more and more interested in this mysterious ophthalmologist. What kind of person was he exactly?
"Moreover, I had another purpose for inviting him here," Yan Yincheng said.
Xu Zixi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What else could it be for?"
"For you," Yan Yincheng replied.
In the afternoon, when Zhang Ma and Li Shen returned home from outside and saw a new person in the house, at first glance, they didn't recognize that he was a male. They even praised him for having good skin and looking good. When Alex said "Thank you" in a deep male bass, Zhang Ma and Li Shen were so scared that they fled in a hurry.
Alex was so amused that he slapped his thigh.
The sun was gradually setting in the west. In a blink of an eye, it was dinner time. Alex finally ended his game with the two kids and was dawdling, planning to leave. Xu Zixi saw him looking back again and again. Out of politeness, she asked, "Why don't you stay for dinner before you go?"
Before Yan Yincheng could stop her, he heard Alex cheerfully reply, "Sure!"
At the dinner table, Alex was full of amazement at the table full of dishes cooked by Li Shen. While eating, he praised each bite, constantly complimenting Li Shen on her excellent cooking skills. He even said that she was a culinary god, which made Li Shen blush and say shyly:
"Actually, I can cook so well thanks to the young mistress's guidance."
After figuring out that the "young mistress" referred to Xu Zixi, Alex looked at her with burning enthusiasm. If it weren't for the dining table in between, he would definitely have rushed over to hold her hand and say "I want to marry you"!
Twenty minutes later...
A figure was mercilessly kicked out of the villa by Third Master Yan. Alex rolled on the ground. Although there were grass clippings on his head, his posture when getting up from the ground was extremely elegant.
"You tyrant! You're just good at burning your bridges. Be careful that I'll lead your son astray!" he said indignantly.
"Come on, stop fooling around. I have something important to tell you," Yan Yincheng said calmly. "I'm sure you'll be very interested in this."
Alex twirled his messy hair with his little finger and asked, "What is it?"
"There's a 'Rengkang Hospital' in Haicheng. I want you to find a way to get in there, obtain the layout map of the whole hospital, find out the shift - changing time of each department, and closely monitor a patient named 'Fang Ling'. Fifteen days later, she will 'die' of an illness in that hospital and be transferred to the funeral parlor. At that time, Zixi will cooperate with you to complete all this."
The long - term cooperation and tacit understanding made Alex immediately understand Yan Yincheng's intention, and this matter did arouse his great interest.
Excitement and fanaticism appeared on Alex's face. "OK, OK. Just wait and see me show my prowess!"
After bidding farewell to Yan Yincheng, he turned around and left. As soon as he got out of the gate, he saw a tall figure on patrol. Alex's eyes lit up and he rushed over. "Brother Ameng!"
Ameng in the night wind shivered. He looked back and found it was Alex. Rarely did a look of panic appear on his usually stern face.
Why is this guy here!
...
Since Fang Ruiyang installed that positioning tracker on Zhao Quanjing, Xu Zixi had been closely monitoring Zhao Quanjing's movements every day. At the same time, she also got to know his daily routine through that tracker.
The Zhao family's residence was located in the northern suburb of the city, not far from the place where Xu Zixi and the kids used to live. Every morning after getting up, he would run around his residence for a few laps. After going back home and resting for a while, he would go to the Zhao Group's headquarters to inspect the company's operations, and then he would go to various scenic spots.
If there was a business dinner, after the dinner, he would definitely take the other person to a nightclub called "Roses and Wine" for further entertainment. If there was no business dinner, he would go home for dinner, but he would also go to the nightclub for a while after dinner.
This phenomenon caught Xu Zixi's attention. She found that Zhao Quanjing went to that nightclub very frequently, almost every day. The most times he went was three times a day, once in the afternoon and twice in the evening, and each time he took different people. Besides that, he didn't go anywhere else.
So Xu Zixi investigated this nightclub and found that it had a great connection with him. There were two co - owners of this nightclub. One was the biggest wine merchant in Haicheng, who controlled the wine sales channels in Haicheng. The other one had the surname Ran. Judging from the name, she was a woman, and she owned several entertainment venues. "Roses and Wine" was just one of them.
Zhao Quanjing and this woman with the surname Ran were cousins.
From this, Xu Zixi knew why Zhao Quanjing could meet all kinds of people in this nightclub unscrupulously. No matter what shady deals he made with others inside, with the relationship network and influence of these two people, they could cover everything up for him.
However, this also clearly told the world that this nightclub was the Zhao family's territory. Since the Zhao family was secretly planning to deal with the Pei family, they would definitely not choose this place to meet the mole they had planted in the Pei family.
Xu Zixi patiently waited.
Finally, one late night, Zhao Quanjing made a move.
