Chapter 105: The Requirements of the Little Black Book

  After hanging up Fang Xinyi's phone, Liu Siyuan wandered aimlessly on the streets of Ziwai City for several laps, carefully recalling his journey with Ouyang Qian from acquaintance to today.

  The more I think about it, the more I feel that I owe her an apology. Looking back, she seemed to have had a crush on me for a long time, but I was too blind to notice, always thinking about Fang Xinyi while coincidentally having multiple encounters with her. Although it wasn't my intention, I still ended up wasting the innocence of a good girl.

  The more I think about it, the more I feel that Fang Xinyu is right. Ou Yang Qian, a good organization department head and a rich girl, was ruined by him so many times, and in the end, she couldn't even get a name, let alone a position, and had to be his subordinate. Who would be happy about this?

  Even so, he still had to find her first, otherwise, with her being alone and not knowing where to go, the unease and worry in his heart would be unbearable.

  Liu Siyuan had been racking his brains for half a day and couldn't think of where she would go, fortunately he had a trick up his sleeve.

  When he tried to communicate with the notebook, it unexpectedly started playing tricks on him. What's meant by "playing tricks" isn't that it ignored him, but rather it clearly received his questions and yet intentionally flashed a faint blue light in his hand, flashing for half a day without answering his questions. This thing is getting worse and worse, leaving Liu Siyuan at a loss as to what to do with it.

  The little black book had been messing around for a long time, and suddenly a picture appeared in his mind, with several things appearing inside, including a ring, earrings, a long sword, and a necklace. All of these put together could make a costume drama. Anyway, they were all unfamiliar... Wait! That ring seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but it couldn't be remembered for the time being.

  Liu Siyuan thought for a moment and then wondered why he was showing me that notebook, and for a while, he didn't understand what the notebook wanted to do. After a while, suddenly an idea struck him, could it be that this guy wants to find those things himself?

  Just as he thought of this, the notebook suddenly flashed brightly, apparently indicating strong agreement. Liu Siyuan was shocked and didn't mention that he had never seen those things before, nor did he have any clue about them. Moreover, those accessories seemed to be antiques, extremely valuable, and even if he searched for them at his own price, he wouldn't be able to find them.

  After another deliberation, he suddenly realized that the true meaning of this notebook was to say that its goal was these things, and other things, including helping Ou Yang Qian, were not what it sought after all.

  Just thinking about it made him anxious. He had already lost Ting Hui and Chen Jun was also in a precarious situation. He really didn't want to lose Ouyang Qian again. Even if he had to lose Ouyang Qian, he wanted to have a face-to-face conversation to clear things up.

  So he immediately used his mind to tell it that he would cooperate with it to find those accessories, but in exchange, it could also help him find Ouyang Qian.

  For a long time, there was no response from the notebook, and Liu Siyuan didn't say a word either. This was a contest of wills.

  At last, after a stalemate of over ten minutes, an address line appeared in his mind. Liu Siyuan let out a sigh of relief, recalling that it was the first time he had a conflict with his laptop, fortunately ending with his victory.

  That address on top of the town name looked a bit familiar, and suddenly he remembered that wasn't Ouyang Qian's hometown that she mentioned when she came back last time? Liu Siyuan finally realized that she had run back to her hometown alone.

  Ouyang Qian's hometown is in the northeast of Qián Hú province, a small town under Jiǔ Zhài city. It was from this town that Ouyang Xinghua made his fortune, and later caught the eye of Yan Rántiān, becoming his personal secretary, before eventually rising to where he is today.

  Liu Siyuan immediately began preparing for the trip, anyway, Zhang Mingduan's problem would have to wait for Fang Xinyu to deal with it, he had done everything he could, and could only quietly await the outcome.

  It's okay, Jiuzhai City is just east of Ziwai City, not far away. Although there was some suspicion that the public bus was being used privately, for convenience, he didn't bother with trivial matters and had the driver take him all the way to his destination.

  The road was quite smooth, and after asking a few people, he finally found the old mansion of the Ouyang family in the town according to the address on the small notebook. After arriving at the place, Liu Siyuan didn't dare to use the public car for private purposes too much, so he let the driver go back by himself and stayed there alone.

  The old residence of the Ou Yang family is a two-story self-built small building, with a narrow alley paved with green tiles in front of the door, so narrow that only two people can walk side by side. If you're unlucky enough to encounter someone pushing a bicycle, you'll have to squeeze through sideways.

  The black gate was newly painted and looked like it had been repaired recently. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. Trusting his notebook, he didn't leave immediately, as he had nowhere to go temporarily, so he simply sat down on the steps in front of the door and waited, thinking that Ouyang Qian was probably just out for a short while and would be back soon.

  Once he sat down, his heart suddenly calmed down. Liu Siyuan felt that his life in the past few years was a bit unreal. He didn't know when he, an ordinary young man, had become a county committee standing member and deputy department-level official. At the same time, there were several beautiful women around him who had a crush on him.

  Lost in thought, time passed quickly without him realizing it. More than an hour had passed and Ouyang Qian still hadn't returned. Instead, several neighbors came one after another, looking at him with curious eyes.

  After a while, a middle-aged woman living next door couldn't help but satisfy her curiosity and came over to ask who he was looking for. Liu Siyuan forced a smile and said he was looking for someone from the Ouyang family.

  That middle-aged woman immediately whispered, "Isn't she definitely looking for the young lady from the Ouyang family? After their old man passed away last year, the house has been empty all along. A few days ago, that girl came back alone and lived inside. Did the young man have a fight with someone and chased her all the way here?"

  Liu Siyuan smiled bitterly and said: "You understand it this way too, I've done some things that wronged others."

  The middle-aged woman was apparently delighted with her own cleverness, but also embarrassed to reveal too much, so she deliberately sighed and said, "Young man, it's not easy for you to chase all the way here. However, the girl from the Ouyang family is from a good family background, and her father is now a high-ranking official. You must cherish her."

  Liu Siyuan couldn't remember how many people had reminded him to cherish Ouyang Qian, he could only smile wryly and nod repeatedly.

  By the fourth hour, he was not only tired but also seemed to have an empty stomach. Fortunately, the middle-aged woman who had just turned around said with concern: "Young man, you must be hungry, here's a sweet potato, take it and eat it first." The young man thanked her repeatedly. The middle-aged woman then said: "The girl left early in the morning but still hasn't come back, now that the sky is getting dark, it really makes one worry."

  At this time, an old man also came over and whispered, "Will the girl go back to the provincial city?" Liu Sanyuan's heart was chilled when he heard it, thinking that he shouldn't have written a note to deceive himself. Unexpectedly, the guy suddenly shook violently, obviously very dissatisfied with his slander.

  Liu Siyuan had been waiting for an unknown number of hours, and all he knew was that the sky had completely darkened. Thanks to the dim, flickering light emanating from the windows of the houses on both sides of the alley, he managed to avoid the darkness that made it impossible to see his own hand in front of him.

  Liu Siyuan has been working extremely hard recently, physically running around all day between Beixi Town, Cheng'en County, Ziwai City and even the provincial capital of Hanjiang. The journey was exhausting, but mentally he was even more drained, constantly scheming and plotting with others without a moment's rest. Exhausted in body and mind, he unknowingly leaned against the gate and fell asleep.

  He had a dream, in which he was sitting in a palace, with a group of women dancing in front of him, and an extremely beautiful woman whispering to him beside him, with a table full of delicious food in front of him. The beauty of this extremely beautiful woman was quite astonishing, estimated to be S-class, but it's unknown why he would have such a vivid image.

  Having a nice dream, I was suddenly knocked on the head and my whole body trembled with instinct, and I woke up. In a daze, I heard a familiar voice scolding: "Big fool, what are you dreaming about? Your saliva is all over the floor!"

  With great difficulty, he opened his eyes to find Ouyang Qian standing with her left hand on her hip, looking down at him with a sly smile in her eyes...
