Watching Jiang Li’s movements, Zhou Chao couldn’t help but smile. He pushed aside the thoughts in his mind. Eating was the priority for now; as for research, there was always time for that.

“Brother Chao, your cooking skills are truly amazing. Even when things go wrong, it still tastes delicious,” Jiang Li said as she noticed half of the steak in front of her had disappeared.

“Eat slowly, no one’s competing with you. If it’s not enough, I’ll make more for you.”

“Hehe, Brother Chao, I want a little more,” Jiang Li said, gesturing with her hand, though her idea of “a little more” was quite generous, about several centimeters more.

Zhou Chao smiled and stood up. “Take your time eating; I’ll go make some more for you!” With that, he headed back to the kitchen.

“Brother Chao, love you!” Jiang Li’s eyes squinted with a smile.

The next morning, Lin Wu arrived at the villa early. By the time Zhou Chao woke up, Lin Wu’s specialty porridge had been ready for a while.

“When did you get here? You didn’t make a sound!” Zhou Chao said while eating the porridge.

“Boss, you told me to come early yesterday. Who knew you’d still be sleeping.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao remembered that he had indeed instructed Lin Wu to come early yesterday, but it didn’t matter now. After all, what he said went.

“Oh, I must have forgotten.”

At that moment, Jiang Li came downstairs with a small suitcase. Lin Wu hurried over to help her.

“Lady Boss, let me put the suitcase in the car for you. You go ahead and have some breakfast.”

“Thankyou, Brother Lin Wu!” Jiang Li nodded and headed to the dining room, where Zhou Chao was already serving the porridge.

“Here, sit down and taste Lin Wu’s cooking. Even this simple porridge is worth bragging about,” Zhou Chao said as he scooped a bowl for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li took the bowl and started eating. It was already late morning, and she was quite hungry.

The two of them ate quickly, especially Jiang Li, who ended up eating three large bowls. Zhou Chao looked at her with some surprise.

Noticing Zhou Chao’s gaze, Jiang Li blushed. “I don’t know why I’ve been eating so much lately. I just feel like eating whenever I see food.”

“It’s okay; maybe it’s because the baby is developing. Do you want a bit more?”

Jiang Li nodded shyly and filled her bowl halfway again, mainly because the pot of porridge was almost empty.

After they finished eating, they didn’t delay any longer and headed outside.

Soon, two Rolls-Royces drove out of the neighborhood and headed towards Pudong Airport.

“Brother Chao, are you going back to Jingdu too?” Jiang Li’s eyes lit up when she heard Zhou Chao say he would accompany her.

Zhou Chao patted Jiang Li’s head. “Yes, I need to discuss some matters with Grandpa.”

“Oh,” Jiang Li had thought Zhou Chao was going back with her for her sake, but it turned out there was something to attend to.

Seeing Jiang Li’s disappointment, Zhou Chao hugged her and gently patted her arm. “I’ll come back to accompany you once I’m done with everything!”

“Mm,” Jiang Li didn’t dwell on it too much. After all, Zhou Chao indeed had a lot of things to attend to.

Soon, the car arrived at the airport. Passing through the internal fast lane, the car drove straight in, heading directly to the private airstrip. Many passengers also noticed cars entering the airport.

“What? How come there’s a car driving into the airport?”

“Nothing special. You can drive in there if you have the money.”

As soon as they got out of the car, Zhou Chao saw five or six bodyguards standing under the plane, among whom were the two female bodyguards arranged for Jiang Li.

“Did you arrange this?” Zhou Chao asked Lin Wu softly as he glanced at him.

“Yes, they’ll be on standby 24/7 from now on.”

Zhou Chao didn’t say anything, just nodded lightly, then walked towards the plane with the others following closely behind.

The plane took off quickly, and by the time they arrived in Jingdu, it was almost noon.

At the entrance of Jingdu Airport, Jiang Li looked at Zhou Chao and asked, “Brother Chao, are you going straight to Grandpa’s place?”

“Yes, it’s something important. I’ll come after I’m done.”

“Okay, then I’ll head back first,” Jiang Li said and got into the Rolls-Royce that had been waiting for her for some time. Lin Wu had arranged everything in advance. The cars were from the Hilton Hotel in Jingdu, three Rolls-Royce Phantoms in total.

Watching Jiang Li’s car leave, Zhou Chao also got into a car and left the airport.

Zhou Chao sat in the back seat with his eyes closed and softly said, “To Qianshihai Hutong!”

Half an hour later, the two cars stopped steadily at the entrance. “Lin Wu, you guys go eat first. I’ll call you after I finish my business.”

Lin Wu understood that the boss was going to meet someone and didn’t insist on accompanying him. “Got it, boss.”

Zhou Chao pushed open the car door and walked down, heading straight into the tunnel. Passing a corner, he looked around, seeing no one and no surveillance cameras. He then took out the items from the warehouse, precisely the relevant materials on controlled nuclear fusion, which he had specially packed in a briefcase.

After taking them out, Zhou Chao looked around again and continued walking into the tunnel.

After several turns, he arrived at the Xiao family’s mansion. At the entrance stood his old acquaintance, the same greenhorn who had stopped him last time. “Young Master Zhou!”

“Yes, is Old Master at home?”

“The Chief is at home!”

Zhou Chao nodded slightly and strode inside with the briefcase in hand.

As soon as he entered, he heard Old Master Xiao’s booming voice, loudly saying, “Xiao Yang, that little rascal, stole another bottle of wine from me. When he comes back, I’ll beat him to death! He’s really getting on my nerves.”
