The next day, after Xi Xiaye washed up and went downstairs, the man was drinking tea on the sofa with Zhou Zimo, who had changed into a set of clean clothes. He was about the same size as Mu Yuchen, so Mu Yuchen's clothes fit him quite well.

"Su Chen's fine, isn't he? How did I end up being the one who drank too much instead? Why didn't you stop me?" Zhou Zimo sipped his tea as he looked up at Mu Yuchen who was flipping through the newspaper leisurely.

"If you really wanted to drink, could I have stopped you?" His deep voice was colored with a teasing note, yet Mu Yuchen did not even look up as he answered him directly.

Zhou Zimo shrugged. "This morning, I called Elder Su and the rest. You should find time to visit them. Sis Su misses you too. Right, when I saw Ah Mo a few days ago, I heard that they were inspecting people. It's about Lingshi's father, isn't it?" As he said this, he stopped what he was doing and looked at Mu Yuchen.

"Mmm, Lingshi has been trying to find out who he is, but we don't have many leads. Well, this is our only option and we hope that we get a clue."

Mu Yuchen did not hide anything, yet when he talked about this, he felt a faint bitterness inside.

Zhou Zimo nodded. "I know this is an unfulfilled wish of Lingshi all these years. Even Lingtian has been trying so hard to look for answers years ago, and what about now? Do you have any leads? Did you find any matches in the DNA bank?"

Mu Yuchen hesitated for a moment, then he said to Zhou Zimo, "If I could, my hands wouldn't be so tied up right now. You've got quite a wide network here too. Help me find out if there was someone named Mr. Wen in the circle around 30 years ago. This person should be someone of status, and may not be local. He's got some kind of friendship with the famous manager, Lu Xinlan. Once you've got any leads, do let me know."

"Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen?" Zhou Zimo softly muttered. He wanted to ask more, but seeing Mu Yuchen in deep thought, he decided against it. "Okay, I'll do my best, but it's been 30 years, so it's quite a distant memory now. We weren't all that old back then too. I can't be sure that I'll find out about anything."

"Just do your best. I've been quite occupied recently."

Work had been busy, and Fuhua needed him to personally handle matters too. At the same time, his mind was on Xiaye's health. Clearly, he felt a little fatigued from juggling everything.

"Okay, leave it to me. You should rest well too. Look at you. You've really lost weight. It's going to be the Mid-Autumn festival in two days. Let's meet up." Zhou Zimo patted Mu Yuchen on the shoulder.

"I'll have to make a trip back to the old residence then. Let's gather after that."

Zhou Zimo glanced at the clock and saw the time. Upon seeing that it was not that early anymore, he grabbed his phone as he said, "As you wish. I'll return to the company then since I have a morning meeting. Give me your car keys."

Mu Yuchen pointed to the drawer on the side, and Zhou Zimo swiftly took the keys out and got up.

"Have some breakfast before you go." Xi Xiaye just came downstairs at the same time.

"Morning! I'm rushing. Next time!" Zhou Zimo greeted cheerfully before heading out. The way he rushed out surprised Xi Xiaye a little. Meanwhile, at that moment, Mu Yuchen had already put away the newspapers and walked towards her.

Xi Xiaye watched as Zhou Zimo vanished out of the door as she muttered to herself, "He's in such a rush. Last night, he drank so much, but he looks quite sober this morning."
