Chapter 164: Jeeves Secret
In the Moonlit Mirage Hotel’s presidential suite, Zhu Fengrui and Jeeves sat together, enjoying a quiet moment with cups of tea. Jeeves, ever the attentive aide, began, "According to this information, it’s possible that it’s him."
Zhu Fengrui contemplated the revelation, his thoughts reflecting a mix of determination and relief. "Can you arrange a meeting for me?" he asked Jeeves.
"Of course, young master," Jeeves replied dutifully. Zhu Fengrui, sipping his tea, remarked, "If it’s really him, that means the search is finally over. I can finally rest, knowing I achieved what Grandpa entrusted upon me."
Jeeves, with a genuine smile, acknowledged Zhu Fengrui’s efforts. "You have done a very good job. I am sure your grandpa is proud of you."
Zhu Fengrui’s expression shifted, a touch of melancholy clouding his face. "If only Mom was here," he mused.
Jeeves, whose eyes momentarily revealed a deeper understanding, assured, "I am sure she would also be proud."
As Zhu Fengrui expressed his gratitude, Jeeves excused himself, stating, "Let me get the arrangements ready, sir."
"Okay, thank you," Zhu Fengrui acknowledged. Jeeves left the room, closing the door behind him, and sighed. The weight of the past and the complexities of their mission lingered in the air, even as Zhu Fengrui prepared for the meeting that might unveil the answers he sought.
Jeeves sat on his bed, dialing a number. After a few rings, Li Yanyan answered, "Uncle Jeeves, how are you?"
Jeeves replied, "Miss, we are both good. How about you?"
Li Yanyan sighed, "A lot is going on, but it will be fine. How is my boy?"
Jeeves empathized, "Miss, I don’t mean to intrude, but he really misses you."
Li Yanyan confessed, "It’s just that... I’m scared for his safety."
Jeeves reassured her, "He’s old enough now. Shielding him from physical harm while he gets emotional harm is not helping him."
Li Yanyan admitted, "I know. I’m just scared for his safety."
Jeeves dropped a significant piece of information, "He has seen Li Chen."
Li Yanyan paused for a moment, and Jeeves asked, "Are you still there, miss?"
Li Yanyan sighed, "Yes, I am here. When was that?"
"Two days ago," Jeeves answered.
Li Yanyan reflected, "I see. Did he recognize him?"
Jeeves explained, "Miss, Li Chen looks like your brother. Of course, he saw the similarities."
Li Yanyan chuckled, "You’re right. Li Chen is a mini version of Li Xiaojun."
Jeeves revealed, "He has asked me to arrange a meeting with Li Chen."
Li Yanyan excitedly responded, "Arrange it. Time for me to give my boy a surprise."
Jeeves smiled, "I am glad, miss. He will have so much lifted from his shoulders."
Li Yanyan questioned her parenting, "Uncle Jeeves, am I a bad mother?"
Jeeves reassured her, "No, miss. I am sure he will also understand."
Li Yanyan confided, "There is so much going on, but I will update you when we meet. Keep my boy safe."
Jeeves promised, "Until I die, miss."
Li Yanyan expressed her gratitude, "Thank you." Jeeves hung up, a smile on his face. He had been keeping a secret from Zhu Fengrui about knowing the whereabouts of his mother, and it weighed on him every time Zhu Fengrui mentioned her.
Jeeves then checked the file for Mega Diversity Group, Li Chen’s company, and dialed a number. The phone rang twice before Li Chen answered, saying, "Hello."
Jeeves, maintaining professionalism, said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Li Chen. I am calling regarding your application for the project."
Li Chen inquired, "Yes, is there something wrong?"
Jeeves explained, "There is something that the superiors would like to discuss with you face to face."
Li Chen agreed, "Oh, okay."
Jeeves continued, "When will you be available for a meeting?"
Li Chen suggested, "Saturday is perfect."
Jeeves proposed, "Okay, how about lunch on Saturday?"
Li Chen agreed, "That is okay."
Jeeves concluded, "Thank you. We will meet there."
Li Chen expressed his gratitude, "Thank you," and hung up.
Jeeves then walked out of his room and found Zhu Fengrui sitting on the couch with his eyes closed. Jeeves cleared his throat, and Zhu Fengrui opened his eyes, asking, "And?"
Jeeves reported, "I have arranged a meeting for Saturday, sir."
Zhu Fengrui expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you. I don’t know what I would do without you."
Jeeves responded modestly, "I am doing my job, sir."
Zhu Fengrui acknowledged, "You go above and beyond, and I am grateful."
Jeeves smiled and poured Zhu Fengrui a cup of tea.
Zhu Fengrui sat in the quietness of the room, his fingers gently tapping against the ceramic surface of the teacup. The fragrant aroma of the tea filled the air, but his mind was preoccupied with a whirlwind of thoughts. As he sipped the tea, his gaze was distant, lost in the labyrinth of possibilities.
For ten long years, Zhu Fengrui had tirelessly searched for someone, someone he believed could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of his past. Li Chen’s uncanny resemblance had ignited a spark of anticipation within him, an ember of hope long buried beneath the weight of the unknown.
With every sip, he contemplated the forthcoming meeting on Saturday. A subtle excitement danced in his eyes, yet his expression was layered with a solemn curiosity. What if Li Chen was indeed the person he had been seeking?
Zhu Fengrui’s thoughts swirled in the fragrant steam rising from the teacup. The delicate clinking of the spoon against porcelain echoed in the room, creating a rhythmic backdrop to the anticipation building within him. Saturday seemed both distant and imminent—a day that could potentially unveil the long-buried truths of his existence.
As he continued to drink the tea, Zhu Fengrui’s mind traversed the corridors of speculation. The quiet determination in his eyes mirrored the silent resolve that had fueled his decade-long quest. The cup cradled in his hands became a vessel not only for tea but also for the dreams, doubts, and hopes that swirled within him. And so, in that tranquil moment, Zhu Fengrui immersed himself in contemplation, awaiting the fateful Saturday that held the promise of answers.
Jeeves observed Zhu Fengrui with a subtle smile, a knowing glint in his eyes. In the quiet ambiance of the room, he carried a secret, a piece of information that promised to unveil a Chapter of happiness in his young master’s life. The anticipation and joy that radiated from Zhu Fengrui were not lost on Jeeves, and he relished the prospect of witnessing the transformation that awaited.
For years, Zhu Fengrui had carried the weight of unanswered questions, his journey marked by relentless pursuit and stoic determination. Jeeves, the ever-watchful guardian, had supported him through the highs and lows, understanding the complexities that shaped his young master’s life.
As Saturday loomed on the horizon, Jeeves couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement. The forthcoming meeting held the potential to liberate Zhu Fengrui from the shadows of uncertainty. The knowledge he possessed about the nature of this meeting, the possibility of a long-awaited reunion, added a layer of satisfaction to Jeeves’ demeanor.
With his slight smile, Jeeves acknowledged the resilience of his young master. Zhu Fengrui, who had been forced into premature maturity, was now on the verge of reclaiming a part of his lost youth. The burdens that had shaped him were about to be lifted, and the prospect of witnessing Zhu Fengrui’s happiness brought a warm sense of fulfillment to Jeeves.
As they sat in the room, the air pregnant with unspoken revelations, Jeeves silently wished for the impending Saturday to unfold as a day of joy and clarity. The bond between servant and master transcended the ordinary, and Jeeves took solace in being a part of the transformative journey that lay ahead for Zhu Fengrui.
