Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Quan Zhisui stayed up all night.

From her conversation with her uncle and aunt, she learned some things that Wei Shixu had never told her.

The inheritance was originally hers, but...

The Wei Corporation had expedited the process of recognition. Given the distance and inconvenience of being overseas, her uncle and aunt had wanted to thoroughly investigate Quan Zhisui's identity and background, which would have taken a long time.

Without the Wei Corporation's proactive involvement, her uncle and aunt might not have even known of her existence, thinking she had already passed away.

At that time, the original team of Mu You Venture Capital had all moved overseas, while her mother, pregnant, had stayed behind to lay the groundwork domestically.

The flow of information and the ability to conceal it eighteen years ago were vastly different from today. There might still be some secrets buried in the past that can no longer be uncovered.

If it weren’t for Wei Shixu...

She would have been controlled by Zuo Zhiyu, or even Yan Guanghua.

Wei Shixu had shielded her from Zuo Zhiyu and blocked Yan Guanghua, bringing everything to Quan Zhisui ahead of time.

It must have taken considerable effort and time to gain the trust of the highly cautious overseas venture capital firm.

In the end, he ensured she inherited the estate safely and securely.

That’s why he had said it was a birthday gift.

She no longer had to live frugally, nor did she have to fight tearfully with Wei Shixu over a sweater. The money she had painstakingly saved now seemed like a joke compared to the balances in those three bank cards.

Quan Zhisui felt not only emotionally fulfilled but also financially secure.

This gift was immense!

As ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‍dawn broke, the birds chirped outside the window.

Quan Zhisui put away the three bank cards, untouched, exactly as they were.

Then she took out the small box containing the key, held it close, and lay down to sleep.

Her future had become much clearer.

The college entrance exam, and revenge.

...

The next day.

A car from the Wei family took Quan Zhisui to the bank.

Wei Shixu still didn’t accompany her inside, staying in the car instead. "Judging from Zuo Zhiyu’s reaction, it’s probably gold bars inside, along with shares in the overseas company. Congratulations, little heiress."

Before getting out of the car, Quan Zhisui glanced at him and said, "Thank you."

Wei Shixu didn’t look up from his phone, seemingly very busy lately. "I don’t want verbal thanks. I want a birthday gift."

Quan Zhisui nodded. "Okay."

Wei Shixu paused and looked up at her, his gaze steady. "I want something unique."

Quan Zhisui nodded again. "Okay."

With the specific information, Quan Zhisui was quickly escorted into the bank by the staff to locate the safety deposit box her mother had rented years ago.

It was the largest one.

The staff left after bringing her in, respecting the client’s privacy.

Quan Zhisui stood still, took a deep breath, and then took out the key to open it.

It was heavy!

The box was filled to the brim!

As she pulled it out...

Quan Zhisui immediately covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face as she slowly knelt on the ground.

It wasn’t gold bars.

It was books!

Books on traditional Chinese medicine, rare editions, and prescriptions!

A vast collection of medical texts that had been lost overseas during the war!!!

Zuo Zhiyu had been completely wrong. Of course, with his narrow perspective, how could he have guessed this?

Quan Feng had done two things: one was to venture into overseas investment, and the other was to acquire these traditional Chinese medicine texts.

Perhaps because they were hard to obtain, or perhaps because they were truly invaluable, Quan Feng had placed each book in a sealed vacuum bag for preservation.

Even after eighteen years, they were still in impeccable condition!

Quan Zhisui could even see the traces of history on the surfaces of these books.

Every single one was an ancient text!

An entire large box full of them!

She had never met her mother, and everything she knew about Quan Feng came from others or the internet.

But at this moment, Quan Zhisui’s feelings for her mother soared to their peak!

What kind of vision and foresight had Quan Feng possessed to do something like this in that era?

Having grown up under her master’s guidance, no one understood the value of these books better than Quan Zhisui.

She stayed there for a long, long time, calming her emotions, her sleeves soaked with tears.

An hour later.

She walked out of the bank and got back into the Wei family car.

Wei Shixu looked surprised and reached out to wipe a tear from the corner of her eye. "You were in there for so long. Why are you crying?"

Quan Zhisui sniffled and asked, "Do you understand finance and venture capital?"

Wei Shixu raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to do?"

Quan Zhisui: "Kill Zuo Zhiyu."

Wei Shixu: "..."

-----------------

Her uncle and aunt stayed in Liangxi Town for several days. Having been away for eighteen years, they were deeply moved to be back in their hometown.

After handling their affairs, the four of them wanted to throw a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Quan Zhisui.

But she declined.

She saw them off at the airport, knowing how busy her uncle and aunt were with their overseas business. Every minute meant significant financial transactions, and their extended stay in the country had already caused considerable delays.

The four of them were reluctant to leave, and the three aunts even had tears in their eyes as they said goodbye.

"You child, it’s so cold, yet you don’t even buy yourself new clothes."

"Do you wear your school uniform every day?"

"Your mother’s money has been accumulating interest all these years. It’s far more than what’s in those cards! Spend it! Buy something expensive!"

Quan Zhisui shook her head. "I’ll spend it after the college entrance exams. Right now, my focus is on studying."

Xie Yu asked, "Are you sure you don’t want us to stay and celebrate your birthday with you?"

Quan Zhisui smiled. "My boyfriend will be with me."

The four of them paused for a moment.

"Thank goodness for Young Master Wei."

"Thankfully, Young Master Wei was there to help."

"With him around, we feel at ease."

Xie Yu patted her shoulder again. "Take care! See you next year!"

Quan Zhisui smiled.

As she watched their figures grow smaller in the distance, her smile slowly faded.

She took out her phone and called Zi Yin. "Senior Brother, come to Liangxi Town... It’s ancient texts. Give them to Master..."

After hanging up, Quan Zhisui strode out of the airport, fiddling with six coins in her hand.

Wei Shixu was waiting for her in the car. As soon as she got in, he spoke. "I’ve prepared what you asked for. Ten venture capital projects. Nine will fail, one will profit."

Quan Zhisui took the documents and glanced at them, tilting her head. "Wei Shixu, what do you think the next big trend will be?"

Wei Shixu: "Food and beverage, the internet?"

Quan Zhisui: "The Fire Element Fortune..."

Wei Shixu was taken aback. "What?"

Quan Zhisui smiled at him. "I used divination to analyze your venture capital projects. The only profitable one aligns with the Fire Element Fortune."

A flicker of admiration appeared in Wei Shixu’s eyes. "You can do that?"

Quan Zhisui: "But it’s marginal, the least profitable one. How’s Yan Guanghua doing?"

Wei Shixu: "Don’t worry about him. He won’t have time to deal with you for the next year. My grandfather is still sharp and caught him off guard. He’s quite nervous now."

Quan Zhisui thanked him again. "Thank you."

Wei Shixu: "Hmm, how do you plan to thank me?"

Quan Zhisui: "..."

Wei Shixu took a deep breath and changed the subject. "What’s your plan for these ten projects?"

Quan Zhisui: "I need to go to the bank again, this time without hiding it. I want Zuo Zhiyu to know I went."

Wei Shixu: "Tomorrow?"

Quan Zhisui: "Yes, tomorrow. Our birthday."
