Chapter 659: This is a treasure dad will leave for you.

With his mind and heart on her and in his desperation to see her, he sped so fast without him noticing it.

Alas, just as he was about to reach his destination, his phone rang.

Of course, he was in no mood to pick it up, so he ignored its ringing.

The caller was persistent, though, as the phone rang incessantly. Finally, he was so annoyed by it he switched on his Bluetooth earphone and picked up the call.

“Hello.” His voice was laced with coldness and anger, inciting fear in the listener.

“C-CEO Ji… th-that…”

The anger in his heart blazed further at the caller’s hesitance.

“What’s the matter? Speak clearly.”

“CEO Ji… y-you don’t need to come over anymore… The people be-below… made a mistake; the person they saw isn’t Miss Pei…”

Upon hearing this, the anger and displeasure in his heart dissipated.

Screech!

The speeding car came to a screeching halt at once.

Luckily, few cars were on this road, so he did not cause a traffic accident.

“What did you say?” he coldly asked.

“CEO Ji, I sincerely apologize. The people below mistook the person. Right now, we haven’t found any traces of Miss—”

Before the person could finish the explanation, he cut off the call and yanked the Bluetooth earphone out of his ear in frustration.

“D*mn it!”

He punched the steering wheel hard and growled.

His growl was filled with helplessness and anger.

The amount of anticipation he had just felt was equivalent to the disappointment he was now experiencing. It was the first time he had experienced this so-called helplessness.

Pei Ge, you stupid woman, where did you go?!

Sitting in the driver’s seat dazedly, gloomily, and exasperatedly, he heard someone knock on his window.

Knock, knock, knock!

He turned to look out the window at the noise, only to find Mu Heng peering inside.

“Why are you here?” He rolled down the window and looked at him with his displeased eyes.

“He he! I was on the way.” The other casually lied while sizing him up. He only relaxed when he saw that he looked okay.

As he and Liao Gaofei followed him, they saw him stop suddenly and thought that something might have happened.

“Ziming, are you okay?”

“Did not… find Pei Ge.”

In an exceptionally bad mood, before his friend asked, he told him what had happened.

“Ah…” Hearing this, Mu Heng paused for a moment and inadvertently recalled Fu Mingxuan, who was following Ji Ziming, suddenly changing directions.

Don’t tell me… that he realized that this is a false tip, so he left midway?

Still, how could he know about this? I must be thinking too much… I must be thinking too much…

Alas, sometimes, such ridiculous thoughts were actually closer to the truth.

He was spot on, indeed. Fu Mingxuan did realize that Ji Ziming’s lead was wrong and, upon spotting Mu Heng and Liao Gaofei tailing him, quickly decided to leave.

It was not because he was coincidentally going in the same direction but because he knew that Pei Ge was home and would not be anywhere else. Ji Ziming still did not know her whereabouts…

Meanwhile, Pei Ge, who was clueless on all this, was currently chatting with her mother in the living room sofa after dinner.

“Ge Ge, since your boss highly regards you, you must work hard.”

Learning that her daughter had become a ‘big boss’, Zhang Manhua felt proud and nervous. Hence, she reminded her thusly.

“I know, mom. Trust me.” She helplessly smiled when her mother mentioned this again.

“You must properly go through your dad’s work notes. He started from scratch and slowly grew his company; it’s just a pity that…”

Zhang Manhua sighed lightly and, not wanting to bring up this sorrowful topic, quickly stood up from the sofa.

“Mom will go get your dad’s work notes.”

Pei Ge also stood up when she saw her mother did so.

“Mom, I’ll go with you!”

Hence, the mother-daughter pair made a beeline for the small study room, which they used as storage.

However, although it served as storage, the area was actually really neat.

Zhang Manhua opened a cupboard and, without needing to look around, opened the drawer at the bottom right corner.

“Here. These are the work notes your dad left behind.”

She eyed the paper box she had kept with nostalgia as she spoke to her daughter softly.

Pei Ge’s eyes slowly turned hazy with nostalgia, too, at the sight of the paper box.

‘Dad, why are you writing on this every day?! It feels as if writing a diary!’

‘Dad’s little princess, this is not a diary but a wealth of treasure.’

‘Treasure?’

‘Yes, a treasure dad will leave for you.’

‘Dad, you’re lying. You’re writing words, and it’s not a map for treasure-seeking! Where will the treasure come?’

‘Silly child, knowledge is the only treasure dad can leave for you to use for a lifetime. Money and the company may disappear because of various reasons; only knowledge can accompany you for a lifetime, and this is the treasure that dad is leaving you…’

“Dad…” She hugged the paper box and beads of crystal-like tears shone in her eyes.

Dad, your words have come true. Money and the company are gone. Now, only this ‘treasure’ you left me is truly left.

Dad, rest assured; I’ll properly study it! I’ll carefully study the treasure that you spent so much time and effort leaving for me!

Unexpectedly, when she flipped open this book of ‘treasure’, she would uncover an astonishing secret…
