Chapter 183: Chapter 183

Lei Mingjun's heart skipped a beat as a flash of shock passed through his eyes. The child had brought the jade piece to find someone, and the Feng family was also looking for someone. Could it be that she is...?

 

Lei Mingjun recalled an incident from long ago, over a decade ago, when the eldest branch of the Feng family seemed to have lost a child. No wonder Nolan was so anxious about this matter; they must have been searching for many years. If this child really is the one the Feng family lost, and if they want to reclaim her, it might not be so easy.

 

Even though it was his first time meeting the girl, Lei Mingjun could sense that she had little interest in family matters. It seemed she was just looking for answers, nothing more. Of course, this might just be his own impression.

 

"Mr. Feng's carving skills are truly impressive," Lei Mingjun remarked, conveniently forgetting his earlier disdain for the crude craftsmanship.

 

After leaving Lei Mingjun's company, Nolan's expression remained tense, his brow furrowed. He gave a stern order, "Look into who he's been in contact with recently."

 

Grayson nodded. "Yes, BOSS."

 

Once Nolan was gone, Lei Mingjun pulled out a slip of paper with a string of numbers written on it.

 

"Uncle Lei," Zuri's voice came through the receiver.

 

Lei Mingjun's feelings were mixed as he suddenly heard the girl's voice again. It was a strange sensation. "I found something," he said.

 

Zuri's heart tightened. "Who is it?"

 

"The person who carved that jade pendant is Feng An, the head of the Feng family in the Imperial Capital," Lei Mingjun said, not hiding anything. There was no point in doing so. It wouldn't take long for Nolan to figure out who he had been in contact with, and with the Feng family's power, finding Zuri would be easy. It was better to tell her now, so she could prepare herself mentally.

 

The Feng family of the Imperial Capital... Zuri whispered the name to herself.

 

"Thank you, Uncle Lei," Zuri said, expressing her gratitude.

 

"You're welcome," Lei Mingjun replied, though he had more to say, he ultimately held back. Affairs of large families were not something a small fry like him should get involved in.

 

After hanging up the phone, Zuri logged onto the internet to search for information about the Feng family in the Imperial Capital but found nothing. It was as if there was no such family.

 

The Feng family! Zuri suddenly thought of Owen, who was a member of the Feng family. During her birthday recognition ceremony, he had sent Carlos to support her, a kindness she had not forgotten.

 

Zuri closed her laptop and knocked on the door next to hers.

 

Azura opened the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. "What's up?"

 

"Let's go visit the set," Zuri said.

 

Azura's spirit immediately lifted. Visiting the set was exciting!

 

"I'll get ready right away," she said as she rushed back into her room to freshen up and get dressed. Moments later, she emerged, eager to go.

 

"Let's go," Zuri said, noticing the thin layer of sweat on Azura's forehead. She smiled and asked, "Not wearing makeup today?"

 

She had grown accustomed to seeing Azura with her signature smoky eye makeup.

 

"No time. I can't wait to meet my idol up close. Let's go!" Azura grabbed Zuri's arm and dragged her outside.

 

On the way to the set, Zuri called Owen, but when he didn't answer, she sent a text instead.

 

"Azura, do you know anything about the Feng family in the Imperial Capital?" Zuri asked.

 

Azura, still thinking about Owen, didn't overthink the question and assumed Zuri wanted to know more about him. Smiling, she replied, "About that, I think you should ask Owen himself. He's from the Feng family, though not many people in the entertainment industry know about it."

 

"Why don't you tell me what you know about the Feng family?" Zuri pressed.

 

Azura thought for a moment. "I don't live in the Imperial Capital much, and I only go back once or twice a year, so I don't know too much. The Feng family is a large family, and the current head is from the eldest branch. Owen is from that branch, and my idol has three brothers and one sister."

 

"Are all four of them still around?" Zuri asked.

 

Azura nodded. "Yes, but I've never seen the eldest daughter. I hear she's not in good health and rarely makes public appearances, quite mysterious, really."

 

"And what about the other branches of the family?" Zuri inquired.

 

"They're all about the same, I guess. Big families are all like that," Azura said, suddenly realizing something. She looked at Zuri in surprise. "Zuri, could it be that...?"

 

Zuri didn't hide anything. "Uncle Lei just called. He found out the jade pendant was carved by Feng An, the head of the Feng family in the Imperial Capital."

 

"Feng An? That's Owen's father," Azura said.

 

If the eldest branch of the Feng family hadn't lost a child, then it couldn't be them. Perhaps the pendant was a gift from Feng An to someone else. Something personally carved would surely be for someone close.

 

"The blood jade might have been a gift from the Feng family head to a beloved younger relative," Azura mused.

 

Understanding dawned on Azura—Zuri wasn't just visiting the set; she was going there to get information.

 

When they arrived at the filming location, they were quickly shooed away by the crew. "We're filming here, no unauthorized personnel allowed."

 

"We're here to visit someone," Azura explained.

 

The staff were used to this and pointed to a shaded area where a group of people was either squatting, sitting, or standing. "Go over there. Those are the other fans here to visit the set."

 

Azura glanced at the fan group and felt a twinge of annoyance. "No, we're here to see Owen. He asked us to visit."

 

The staff member rolled their eyes. "Why don't you just say you're Owen's girlfriend?"

 

"I wish I could," Azura muttered under her breath.

 

While Azura negotiated with the staff, Zuri tried calling Owen again. After two attempts, someone finally answered. "Owen, I'm at the set," Zuri said.

 

But the voice on the other end belonged to Rhett, Owen's assistant. "Miss Zuri, you've arrived? I'll send someone to meet you."

 

"Okay," Zuri replied.

 

Ten minutes later, a crew member hurried over, easily spotting the two women who had been stopped at the gate.

 

"Which one of you is Miss Zuri?" they asked.

 

"That would be me," Zuri stepped forward.

 

The staff member smiled. "Rhett asked me to bring you inside."

 

After exchanging a few words with the gate staff, they were allowed through.

 

As they walked away, the group of fans who had been watching from the shade was dumbfounded. They had just been saying that it was impossible for those two to get in, but here they were, being let in after all.

 

An Ruo Xi, Owen's top fan and a minor celebrity among his followers, couldn't let it go. She marched up to the staff member, determined to get some answers.

 

The staff member, already annoyed, snapped, "If you have the ability, get Owen to send someone to bring you in too."

 

"Did Owen really send someone to bring them in?!" An Ruo Xi felt like her world was crumbling around her.

Chapter 184: Chapter 184

Under the shade of the trees, the fan club was in an uproar, all buzzing about the identities of those two individuals.

 

An Ruoxi turned to her friends beside her. "Go into the club and ask around. See if anyone knows who they are."

 

Regardless of the fans outside, Zuri and Azura successfully entered the film set. Everyone on set was busy with their respective tasks, accustomed to people coming and going, without batting an eye.

 

The two were led into the studio, where they saw Owen in the middle of filming. His scene partner was none other than the actress Xiao Yun, whom they had encountered before.

 

"Xiao Yun, is your body really recovered so quickly?" Azura asked in surprise.

 

Rhett, the assistant, gestured for them to step aside and lowered his voice. "She's filming with injuries. Fortunately, it's all dialogue scenes, nothing too physical. This production has already been delayed long enough, and the crew can't afford further delays."

 

"The director originally wanted to replace the female lead, but Xiao Yun refused. After two months of back-and-forth, they finally resumed filming. Now, they're close to wrapping up."

 

"Because of her, Ah Jing had to take on extra scenes," Rhett said, both frustrated and resigned.

 

Having been through the filming process themselves, Zuri and Azura had lost the novelty of it. The three of them sat quietly on the sidelines, waiting.

 

Ten minutes later, Owen walked off set, heading straight for the rest area. Just as Xiao Yun was about to call him to rehearse the next scene, he darted off.

 

Xiao Yun watched him leave in haste, puzzled, and followed his gaze, spotting the two young women seated not far away.

 

Xiao Yun recognized Zuri instantly—she was simply too striking. Even in the entertainment industry, her looks were of top-tier beauty.

 

What is she doing here?

 

What exactly is Owen's relationship with that woman?!

 

Seeing how close Owen seemed with that woman, Xiao Yun felt a pang of jealousy. She had tried to get close to him, but he remained distant, like a cold, hard stone.

 

She had always comforted herself, thinking that this was just his aloof nature. But in front of another woman, she saw a different side of Owen.

 

"Yun Jie, be careful with your health," her assistant cautioned as she helped Xiao Yun down.

 

No matter what Xiao Yun was thinking, Owen was in a great mood.

 

"Zuri, you finally came to visit!" Owen exclaimed, happily plopping down beside her. "I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you on your graduation. Are you planning to study domestically or abroad?"

 

"Domestically, in the Imperial Capital."

 

"That's great! My home is in the Imperial Capital too. I can take you out for barbecue anytime. I know some great spots."

 

Azura, who had been quietly listening, suddenly felt a sense of disillusionment. How could her cool and aloof idol be talking about barbecue?

 

Oh no, she thought, idols are best admired from afar.

 

"Sounds good," Zuri replied. "Owen, do you know anything about jade? Like blood jade?"

 

"Blood jade?" Owen was momentarily taken aback, then smiled. "I don't know much about jade, but I do have a piece of blood jade."

 

Zuri's heart skipped a beat. "Can I see it?"

 

"I don't have it on me during filming; it's in my trailer. Rhett, could you fetch the box for me?"

 

Rhett brought the box, and Owen opened it, revealing a piece of blood jade inside.

 

Azura and Zuri exchanged a glance as they saw the blood jade. It looked very much like Zuri's own piece.

 

Zuri picked up the jade, examining it closely, and noticed an engraving on the inside—one character, "Jing."

 

"This pendant is beautiful. Where did you get it?" Zuri asked calmly.

 

"This pendant isn't for sale. Normally, if you liked it, I would give it to you, but this one is special, so I can't."

 

Zuri raised an eyebrow and asked, feigning curiosity, "Does it have some special significance? Don't tell me it's from your girlfriend?"

 

"I don't have a girlfriend," Owen quickly dismissed the idea before continuing, "This was carved by my father for my siblings and me. The meaning behind it is unique. All four pendants were cut from the same piece of blood jade."

 

"Did your father carve any other pieces from the leftover jade?" Zuri asked nonchalantly.

 

Azura's heart was in her throat as she listened.

 

"No. After making a set of jewelry for my mother, there was only enough jade left to carve four pendants. There was no extra jade to give to anyone else."

 

Owen finished speaking and looked at her quizzically. "Why are you so interested in this?"

 

"Oh, nothing, just asking." Zuri smiled serenely. "By the way, what's your sister's name?"

 

"Feng Yin."

 

When he mentioned this name, Owen's eyes darkened, and even his tone changed.

 

"That's a beautiful name," Zuri murmured.

 

"I've never met Miss Feng," Azura said. "I heard she's not in good health."

 

"That person is not my sister," Owen's voice turned cold.

 

Azura and Zuri were both taken aback.

 

"Enough about that. If you want to buy jade, I can introduce you to some experts who won't let you get ripped off," Owen offered, patting his chest.

 

"No, that's okay," Zuri declined with a smile. "Is filming tiring?"

 

Zuri changed the subject.

 

"It's manageable. It's not a period drama, just a modern workplace show, so it's relatively easy."

 

After chatting for a while, Owen had to return to filming. Zuri told Rhett they were leaving, and she and Azura left the set.

 

Azura couldn't help but say, "Did I hear Owen right? The current Miss Feng isn't his sister?"

 

As soon as she said it, she smacked her forehead. "Oh my gosh! I almost forgot. The Feng family's fourth daughter is named Feng Yunyao, not Feng Yin. So, does that mean… Feng Yunyao isn't really the Feng family's daughter?"

 

After speaking, Azura looked at Zuri with wide eyes. "Zuri, could it be that you're the real Miss Feng?"

 

Zuri shook her head. She wasn't sure herself.

 

"Should we tell Owen and do a DNA test or something?" Azura suggested.

 

"No need," Zuri declined.

 

"Then how will we find out the truth?"

 

Zuri raised the items in her hand. At first, Azura didn't see them clearly, but upon closer inspection, she realized Zuri was holding several strands of hair.

 

"When did you pull out so many strands of my idol's hair?" Azura was both shocked and impressed.

 

"Let's do a DNA test and find out. Azura, don't tell anyone, okay?" Zuri said solemnly.

 

Azura nodded firmly. "Don't worry, I won't say a word."

 

That night, Azura and Zuri returned to Oceanic City.

 

At the same time, Nolan finally discovered who had provided the blood jade.

 

"BOSS, I found out. That person is… Zuri."

 

Grayson was astonished as he mentioned Zuri's name.

 

He never would have guessed that the person holding the blood jade was Zuri, that little girl.
