Ding Haijing insists on returning after three days, despite Jiang Xiao's attempt to keep him at the factory. Jiang Xiao then visits Old Zhang, a driver, with Guan Tiezhu and Luo Yongsheng. She asks him if he remembers delivering goods to the Hongfeng Welfare Institute ten years ago, but Old Zhang struggles to recall the specific name, which worries Jiang Xiao.

She also attempted to look up locations, specifically the Hongfeng Welfare Institute, but had no idea where to commence. Although that place was theoretically situated within the Capital City's jurisdiction, it was, in reality, exceedingly distant.

The earlier records lacked detail, and with no internet like today, locating a place proved quite challenging.

All her hopes were now placed upon this Old Zhang.

It would be ideal if Old Zhang could recall it, allowing her to proceed directly to the address. However, if he couldn't, she would have to continue her search.

She pondered if anyone else might know the address of that place.

Considering this, she realized she would need to inquire with Mrs. Jin’s former colleagues from that era.

Old Zhang contemplated for a considerable time before suddenly slapping his forehead and exclaiming, "Hongfeng! Now I recall, you must travel along a Panshan Road to reach it. That road was notoriously difficult to traverse; later, we heard plans were made to repair it. I've no idea if they ever followed through."

That Panshan Road left a profound impression on him; otherwise, he genuinely wouldn't have remembered.

"Master Zhang, you've recalled it?"

"Ah, indeed I have remembered it. I shall write down the address for you."

"Thank you, Master Zhang, thank you so very much!"

Jiang Xiao could barely contain her excitement, nearly leaping into the air.

The journey to obtain an address, involving such a long drive, was not easy, and she still had to drive back.

With the address secured, Jiang Xiao felt a surge of energy.

Qingshuang.

She still couldn't definitively confirm if this person was Shi Xiaoching, but the possibility remained.

Upon her return, she promptly contacted Jiang Shiheng to inform him that she had acquired Qingshuang's address. She also shared the news that Ding Haijing and his son had departed for D State.

"Is it quite far?" Jiang Shiheng inquired, his voice laced with a hint of concern upon hearing this. "Very well, I shall discuss with your aunt about dispatching more personnel to accompany you."

Hearing mention of a Panshan Road, Jiang Shiheng felt a sense of unease.

No one could predict what might transpire on the road if Jiang Xiao were to travel with only two bodyguards.

"There's no need, Dad. We're sneaking out; we simply need to be discreet and avoid being followed once we leave the city. A larger group would only make us a more prominent target, drawing unwanted attention."

Jiang Shiheng was about to voice further objections, but Jiang Xiao let out a helpless sigh, "Dad, I assure you, I am far more cautious than any of you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiheng felt a touch of awkwardness.

Standing nearby, Cheng Cheng could surmise the situation merely by observing his father's expression and couldn't help but suppress a chuckle.

It appeared his foster father had received a mild rebuke from Jiang Xiao once again.

That girl could harbor a grudge indefinitely if they were even slightly careless, occasionally bringing it up to playfully tease them.

Today, after concluding some pressing matters, he finally arrived at the Jiang Family's residence, only to discover that a fierce confrontation had occurred between the Jiang Family and the Lu Family in recent days, with sparks flying.

Furthermore, Jiang Xiao had actually made her way to D State.

She had arrived without informing him or even considering a visit, showing such heartlessness!

"Understood. You take care as well." Jiang Shiheng ended the call and, addressing Cheng Cheng, who was struggling to contain his laughter, stated plainly, "I've heard there's a daughter of Vice Commander Wu in your vicinity who seems quite taken with you? I made some inquiries, and Vice Commander Wu appears to be a respectable individual. Would you consider it?"

Cheng Cheng immediately pressed his lips together, no longer daring to laugh.

What a preposterous notion!

Vice Commander Wu's daughter was far too forward; he had genuinely never encountered someone who, after a single meeting, penned a letter the following day and slipped it under his door, boldly declaring her desire to become his wife!

"That Xiao Wu, I've heard she's quite sincere and also rather attractive? You're not getting any younger; perhaps it's time you contemplated a lifelong commitment," Jiang Shiheng added.
