The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 499: Chapter 498 Family (4)
 

At this point in the conversation, the understanding between the two was clear and unspoken. Qin Baizhou quickly regained his usual composure, “Of course, if we are to cooperate, we will definitely come up with a complete proposal, a detailed plan. When the time comes, we will have a dedicated person to liaise with you, Miss Zhou. You are welcome to give us your feedback.”

That was the attitude required for a dedicated collaboration. Even when seeking venture capital, it wouldn’t work to just present a concept — a complete plan was necessary.

After Zhou Weiwei left, Qin Baizhou asked his subordinates. Generally, to investigate someone, using big data or personal connections to directly check with the police station could be very quick.

Over so many years, a person would usually have secondary accounts and couldn’t resist leaving comments or creating profiles on the internet using similar names across different apps.

But Xia Siyu was a special case. She didn’t return to China until her sophomore year of high school and entered the entertainment industry in her second year of university. After joining the industry, all her social media accounts were recorded by the company, so only her activities from sophomore year of high school to sophomore year of university could be investigated.

But with high school and college entrance exams, there was almost no time to use the internet during that year. It might have been possible to do so during university, but that was somewhat long ago, and she was low-profile. During those seven years, because Xia Siyu was frequently criticized online, there was a period when she hardly used the internet at all, making it difficult for Qin Baizhou to find anything about her.

Her household registration was no different. She had never been registered with the Xia Family’s household; in university, her registration was moved there. After university, it wasn’t hung up at home but at the company instead.

Upon checking the company’s records, he found that she hadn’t filled out the section for parents at all.

It seemed the trail ended there. But Qin Baizhou was not one to give up so easily and decided to look into Bo Yan’s background next.

Upon this investigation, some clues immediately surfaced.

Though Bo Yan was also low-profile, he had been the heartthrob of N University since his college days. He stayed at N University until he left three years ago.

Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, there would always be some “legends” surrounding him. Moreover, there were some people who had pursued him from their youth to the present, like Wu Di.

While Wu Di wouldn’t easily go around probing for information, following the connections between Bo Yan and Wu Di revealed some findings.

For example, during the time when blogs were still a thing, Wu Di mentioned a name “Xia Sicai” in one of his journal entries.

And within Wu Di’s writings, it could be discerned that this Xia Sicai seemed to come from a prominent family, and there was a palpable sense of envy in his words.

If this had been in the past, hearing the name Xia Sicai wouldn’t have sparked any thoughts. China is vast, and the rate of name duplication is high. There are many similar names in the entertainment industry, some so close that they resemble a game of matching look-alike siblings (like Zhang Yuxi, Zhang Xinyu, Zhang Xinyi, Zhang Yixing, Zhang Hanyu, and so on).

But after Zhou Weiwei’s prompting, he began to wonder if this person could be related to Xia Siyu?

Then he thought of the time not long ago when Grandpa Bo Yan celebrated his eightieth birthday, which had made the news. However, it was featured in the financial news because it was tangentially related to Bo Yan, with only a brief mention.

But Xia Siyu had attended the birthday banquet as well.

Of course, quite a few people from the entertainment circle had attended that banquet, like Shang Feifei, Li Yiru, and even Li Weiyi, who was now in custody.

Xia Siyu never liked attending such social engagements. She must have gone at Bo Yan’s invitation.

But that’s not the main point.

The main point was, he saw a report entitled “Bosch Corporation has a successor: Vice President Bo Qiliu Takes Over Full Management of Bosch Internal Affairs.”
