章 12: cheap schemes!
"Luna! You bitch! What did you do?" Zuni had an urge to cry as she sat on the floor of the living room of her husband's penthouse while she was on the call with Luna.
"I'm helping you seduce your husband, alright, "Luna gave her a dissatisfied look on her face. "As long as you win the heart of his employees, they will give you all the gossip of the office and even give you a free pass to the office. No one would be able to seduce your Baobei."
"I asked you for a cheap scheme, "Zuni cried with no tears. "You spent almost fifty thousand yuans on the scheme. How am I supposed to run our household now?"
"I asked you for a card and you gave me your husband's card. Why are you crying for money? Is money something that Long Reine lacks?" Luna said with a huff. Her Miss was known as one of the craziest spendthrifts of the family.
"My Baobei gave me a budget. What am I going to do?" Zuni asked her.
"I can give you a small loan, "Luna offered.
"You ran away from your house. I have been raising you for two years. How will you give me a loan?" Zuni gave her a dirty look.
"Isn't your husband a billionaire?" Luna asked with a frown. "Why is he being such a miser?"
"My husband is not a miser, okay!" Zuni snapped. "He is just being economical to save for our old age."
"Whatever keeps your boat afloat, " Luna scoffed.

A couple of hours later.
Song Jingren was in a restaurant waiting for someone while his special assistant was reading out the contents of the new contract that they would be signing with a new company. His gaze fell on the door of the private room that he had booked for the lunch and gestured to his assistant to stop as he stood up to push the wheelchair of the man entering the room.
"You didn't bring your caretaker, " Song Jingren said in dissatisfaction.
"Happy birthday, " The man sitting in the wheelchair wished him and passed the birthday gift that he had prepared as Some Jingren took his place.
"Did you only call me out for such a small matter?" Song Jingren asked as he looked at the young man.
"Small matter? It's your birthday, " Song Zhilan, his cousin said with a huff. Her stern face softened as he looked at his cousin-slash-best friend. "You didn't even bring your wife with you. Grandfather has been sending people to your penthouse to get information on your married life."
"Are you taking pleasure in my misery?" Song Jingren sneered.
"Always, " Song Zhilan smirked.
What are best friends for?
"How is your leg?" Song Jingren asked instead.
"Healing, " Song Zhilan grunted.
"How is your investigation going?" Song Jingren asked after a while.
"Same."
Song Jingren sighed. His cousin had been running after a ghost for months now but he couldn't find her. He couldn't understand what was the point of finding a woman who never existed. "Why don't you stop it? It has been months, Zhilan. Even the government has closed the case. What can you possibly do now?"
"Hell if I know, " Song Zhilan muttered. He knew that everyone believed that the girl he was looking for all over the globe was a filament of his imagination that his near-death accident had caused. He could swear in his life that the girl existed. Once again he told his best friend, "That day, someone saved my life along with the honour of our country. I just can't stop looking for her. She betrayed her people just to save our life. I just want to know if she is alive or if they killed her too. "
Song Zhilan or Major General Song Zhilan went to the army at a young age just like any other child of the Song family. It was around ten months ago when he was bestowed with the responsibility of the President's security as they would be touring the office of the World Research Organisation in Switzerland.
[It is a fictional organisation]
The security team didn't realize that the higher-ups in the organization had weaved a perfect plot to get rid of the current president who they had been seeing as a danger to them.
While he was watching the security of the President, he was delivered the news to save the President by a mysterious Chinese woman who he later found out was a member of researchers time. He acted on time and with his team, the president was saved but he was heavily injured along with several other soldiers. Many soldiers also lost their lives in that incident.
Before they could make this matter known to the world and demand compensation along with a public apology from the organisation, the headquarters of WRO was bombed and it was said that many people lost their lives in the bombing incident. The responsibility for the bombing attack by taken by a terrorist organisation and the armies of big countries were trying to get hold of those terrorists.
Song Zhilan knew that the matter was more serious and deeper than it looked on the surface. He didn't blame someone like Song Jingren who hadn't seen the world like he did while being in the Army. After all, becoming the youngest Major General in the army at the age of thirty was not an easy feat.
"Didn't you say she was a Chinese woman? She could be a nationalist, " Song Jingren said. "She saved the president of her country and that's it. Move on brother. It has been ten months."
"I wish the matter was this simple, " Song Zhilan said with a sigh. "In the list of the people that died in WRO, she wasn't one of them." Taking a deep breath, he said, "Nevermind, when do I get to meet your wife?"
