Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 847 - 705: Second Update

The gate slowly opened, and a low-profile black Infiniti slowly drove in.

Yi Luowa, Connie, Qiqi, and Jimo Shanshan stood at the entrance looking outside.

Tong Airui slightly frowned, "No wonder everyone loves being a celebrity. The treatment is different, huh!"

"Right? Even being a Prime Minister doesn’t get you this kind of welcome, does it?" Mai Zekai added fuel to the fire fearlessly.

Yi Luowa replied with a hint of annoyance, "Tong Airui, stop with the sarcastic remarks. After all, he’s my benefactor. Without him, I might not have found my parents by now."

Tong Airui pursed his lips, "I’ll go to the study to see if there’s any news from Lao Ba."

Yi Luowa quickly entered the hall, "At least meet him before you leave, right?"

Tong Airui, seeing his wife somewhat upset, immediately smiled apologetically: "Alright—I’ll meet the great film emperor before I go!"

Outside, a few youngsters were bowing respectfully to Ke Jingran, "Hello, teacher—"

"You don’t have to be so formal. I’m not a teacher; I’m your friend. I’m not here to teach you; I’m here to play with you!"

"Hooray!" Zibin was the first to clap his hands.

Ziheng covered his brother’s mouth, "It’s not hooray; it’s long live!"

"Haha..." Joyina laughed and said, "Should we invite the teacher inside?"

Yu Lin ran over and pulled Ke Jingran’s hand, heading to the hall, "Uncle, do you remember me?"

"You’re Yu Lin. I even held you when you were little!" Ke Jingran laughed and teasingly tapped Yu Lin’s little nose.

Connie saw them coming in and said with a smile, "Mr. Ke, please come in."

Qiqi and Jimo Shanshan were also busy greeting and making way.

Ke Jingran smiled amicably and followed Yu Lin into the hall.

Yi Luowa greeted him with a smile, "Great film emperor, it’s really difficult to invite you to our home. If it weren’t for asking your help, you probably wouldn’t have planned to visit us!"

Ke Jingran smiled awkwardly, "It’s because I don’t want to trouble everyone."

"There’s no trouble at all!" Yi Luowa laughed, "You’re here at the right time today, just in time for the weekend when everyone’s home."

Ke Jingran grew more hesitant, "Sorry to trouble everyone."

Tong Airui and the others stood up.

"Jingran, come sit over here." Mi Chenshuo called to him.

"Mr. Ke, hello!" Tong Airui reached out amicably.

"Prime Minister, hello!" Ke Jingran was so nervous his palm was sweaty.

"Am I that scary?" Tong Airui laughed and patted his shoulder, "Since you’re so afraid of me, I better avoid it! Just in time, I have other things to do."

"Then you should go ahead."

Tong Airui glanced around at everyone, "You guys chat. Honey, you need to help me with something."

Yi Luowa nodded, smiled at Ke Jingran, and said, "Feel free, I’ll come out once I’m done."

Ke Jingran nodded gentlemanly, "Alright."

Yi Luowa followed Tong Airui out to the RV, and after closing the door, she asked, "What do you want me to help with?"

"Go to sleep."

Yi Luowa slightly frowned, "You called me just to sleep?"

Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly, "Otherwise? Look at Ke Jingran so nervous, maybe without us, he’ll be better."

"I begrudgingly accept your explanation." Yi Luowa pouted, picked up the remote and tuned the screen to the footage of Youyou’s team, "Youyou’s team has already entered the first checkpoint."

Tong Airui turned to glance at the screen, "Youyou’s taking risks, and in just a few hours, they’ve rushed to the first checkpoint."

"If I couldn’t reach you, I’d go crazy too." Yi Luowa sighed.

Tong Airui slightly curled his lips, opened a satellite transmitter, and after several calls were unanswered, he threw the headset onto the table, "That punk, when he gets back, I’ll deal with him!"

"Don’t rush, maybe Lao Ba has already breached the base’s lair, can our satellite monitor the base’s situation?"

"It can monitor, but it’s useless, it’s all desert."

"Underground palace! This reminds me of the intricate underground passages at Hao Tian." Tong Airui was slightly stunned, "It’s indeed a bit like that."

Yi Luowa picked up a cushion, placed it aside, and lay down sideways, "Honey, are you sure this is their final lair?"

"For sure, the base people relocated to the Baghan Desert after that naval battle, and they’ve been silent for a long time. If not for the R country soldiers scattered across Fang Yao Continent gradually gathering here, no one would know there’s such a team in the Baghan Desert."

"I really hope Lao Ba can eliminate them in one fell swoop this time, and best solve their mastermind as well. Although they haven’t troubled us in the past few years, as long as they exist, we’re in danger."

Tong Airui frowned slightly, "The leader of the base is a mysterious woman, and she’s not that old. She can’t possibly be the mysterious person behind the scenes."

Yi Luowa furrowed her brows slightly, "A young woman? Honey, you’ve been researching for so many years and almost become an expert in the history of Country R. Do you have any clues about that person’s identity?"

"No. This person seems to have sprung out of nowhere."

"Doo doo..." Tong Airui was already feeling troubled, and seeing this number made him even more troubled.

"Hello! What’s up? I’m in a bad mood right now!"

"With that tone, are you planning to eat me alive?" Laughter came through the phone from Just.

"Speak up, I’m busy!"

"I’ve got two good pieces of news for you. First, my people have already gone to the Bagan base..."

"Why are you everywhere!"

"How could a thing like this happen without me involved?" Just laughed, "And another thing, I have a 101-year-old grandma staying in the palace."

"Shouldn’t your palace have some girls as beautiful as flowers?"

"With someone like you, I really don’t want to deal with you anymore!"

Tong Airui chuckled softly, "That suits me perfectly!"

Yi Luowa kicked him lightly and mouthed, "Talk properly!"

Tong Airui cleared his throat, "Why are you keeping a grandma around?"

"She’s from Country R and worked as a servant in the palace for over thirty years. She accidentally told me something, and I think you’ll be interested."

"Related to that person behind the scenes."

"Yes, the grandma said that when she was working there, a girl working alongside her suddenly got pregnant. Everyone rumored that the child belonged to King Sato. Later, Sato Hara’s mom took the girl away, and she never came back."

"So, this person might actually be Sato Hara’s sibling? Do you know the woman’s name?"

"Sato Shoko calls him uncle, so it’s likely. The woman was named Oshima Hoshi, and if she’s still alive, she’d be almost eighty now."

"I’ll have someone look for her. If you hear anything new, let me know." Tong Airui pinched his forehead, "Another troublesome thing, I can’t reach Mi Chenxuan now. If your people see him there, tell him to contact me immediately."

"Okay, where’s your second team right now?"

Tong Airui glanced at the screen, "Racing toward the second checkpoint."

"My folks have already passed the second line of defense. Want us to wait for you?"

Tong Airui’s eagle eyes shifted slightly, "Forget it, don’t wait, just find Mi Chenxuan for me quickly. That kid is driving me crazy."

"Alright, keep in touch anytime."

Tong Airui thanked him and hung up the phone.

Yi Luowa lazily sat up, "Now Youyou and Captain Xun are safe, someone is clearing the way for them."

Tong Airui chuckled, "He went to Bagan without consulting me. If we don’t let him do something for us, that would be too easy on him."

"Shameless... but I like it!" Yi Luowa smiled and pinched his chin, "All we can do now is wait patiently. I believe Lao Ba will have news soon too."

"Let’s hope so." Tong Airui sighed deeply, "I’m wondering who Sato Hara’s brother might be?"

Yi Luowa laughed, "Ask Sato Hara and Sato Shoko. They must know."

"If I wanted to ask them, I’d have to visit the underworld, and who knows if I could come back. Would you let me go?"

"Then don’t worry about it. This 101-year-old grandma just popped up; maybe one day a 101-year-old grandpa will show up, and then the truth will be clear."

"Then let’s wait for this old grandpa to appear." Tong Airui turned to look at the screen and picked up the headset, "Captain Xun, slow down. With the way you’re running, you’ll collapse before they even hit you."

"Prime Minister Airui, Princess Luo You, she..."

"Hand the headset to her."

"Yes."

"Fourth Brother... cough cough..." Youyou could only say one sentence before coughing.

Tong Airui said sternly, "Youyou, listen to me. The people from Beidi are clearing the way for you. You have to conserve energy, or you won’t be able to fight this battle."

"Beidi sent people too?"

"Yes, they’ve crossed the second checkpoint. Slow down and follow them to adjust."

"Got it." Youyou turned her head to Captain Xun, "My fourth brother says we should slow down."

Captain Xun nodded and ordered everyone to slow their pace.

Tong Airui finished arranging for Youyou and called Yuan Hang, "Send a few sharp people to investigate a woman named Oshima Hoshi."
