He naturally knew why the other party came looking for him, so he immediately replied, "Just saw the message. Tomorrow, I'll contact you tomorrow."

Whether the thing can be done or not, at least I should invite the person to dinner to express some gratitude.

After reading the message, he dialed Zhang Dayong's number, wanting to probe his opinion, as Zhang Dayong had once said that Zhou Hongchang was considered his confidant at the Shanshan County Bureau, it seemed likely this matter wouldn't be refused.

The phone rang twice then was picked up.

"Still busy?" Qi Yun asked.

"Just finished with work, getting ready to head back," Zhang Dayong responded, then countered, "Why, what's up?"

Qi Yun picked up the pack of cigarettes on the table and replied softly, "Has Zhou Hongchang been to see you?"

At the words, Zhang Dayong paused: "Yes, he contacted you?"

"Mhm, he wants to meet me, but I was held up by some things tonight," Qi Yun replied truthfully.

Zhang Dayong was silent for a moment and sighed: "He's a bit anxious."

Qi Yun picked up on the implication, pondered briefly, and made a rough guess, then tentatively asked, "Not easy to handle?"

"Yes, you know this period is very crucial for me, if you two meet, it would be great if you could help explain a bit to him," Zhang Dayong didn't hide anything.

"Okay, I understand." Qi Yun didn't say much more, answered, then hung up the phone.

He put down the phone and took a deep drag of his cigarette.

To make progress, you need not only people but also selecting the right timing...

A familiar deep blue screen appeared before his eyes.

[Current Intelligence Points: 36]

[Today's Intelligence 1 (Red): Descendant of a traditional Chinese medicine family, Pang Zefeng, found a strange description while flipping through a notebook left by his grandfather.

The note said that when his grandfather was young, he once accidentally saved an injured person, who seemed nearly in his sixties. The strange part was, his vital energies were extremely vigorous, and his physique was comparable to a robust middle-aged man, unlike ordinary people.]

"Hmm?"

Qi Yun couldn't help but exclaim, the recorded situation seemed quite similar to himself?

Could that person also have some prescription like the Inner Canon of Huangdi?

However, he immediately shook his head, feeling it unlikely... after all, treasures like the Inner Canon of Huangdi over five thousand years are extremely rare.

"Pang Zefeng..."

He softly uttered the name, threw this guy into Cao Yufei's pharmaceutical factory for a while now, wondered how the observation was going.

If this person is trustworthy, should his health product plan be pushed forward...

[Today's Intelligence 2 (Blue): A few hours ago, a super typhoon made landfall in Guangdong Province, severely damaging economic crops like lychees due to extreme weather, leading to a substantial reduction in yield, and prices are set to rise in the near future.]

Finally, there was some money-making intelligence, but the operation for this is a bit troublesome, requiring both buying and selling, and the intelligence is only of blue level, with limited profit, Qi Yun felt a bit reluctant to fuss over...

However, even small money is still money, earning some is better than none.

He immediately picked up the phone again to call Wei Yong, telling him to stock up on lychees tomorrow.

"Hmm? Why stock this stuff? The fruit store just got a few boxes today." Wei Yong said suspiciously.

"A typhoon hit Guangdong Province over there, the prices are likely to rise in a couple of days, get a few cold storages, stock up more, you can sell them to wholesalers then." Qi Yun explained patiently.

"Alright, how much should we stock?"

Qi Yun replied, "Go to the wholesale market in the morning, and buy up all the stock you can find."

"All... buy it all?"

Although lychees are a very popular fruit in Jiang Province, they always sell well, Wei Yong still felt a bit nervous with such a large volume to handle.

"Yes, I'll wire you two million first, if it's not enough just let me know," Qi Yun thought for a moment and added, "If you can't handle it alone, call Meng Ge to help you tomorrow."

Seeing how confident Qi Yun was, Wei Yong didn't say more; past experiences had proved that listening to him could never be wrong: "Alright, I got it, I'll handle it first thing in the morning."

"Okay, for now, let's split the profits fifty-fifty once we earn money."

After ending the call, Qi Yun put down the phone and continued checking the next piece of intelligence.

[Today's Intelligence 3 (Red): Half an hour ago, Yang Zhihao, who works as a server at the Good Luck Casino in Manila, witnessed a young Chinese couple being forced into a van and driven away at the casino's parking lot.

The identities of this young couple are significant, one of their fathers is Deputy Minister of the Z Department in Bird City, the other's uncle is chief of S Bureau.]

Qi Yun looked at this piece of intelligence in front of him, an expression of amazement surfaced on his face, it took him a long time to recover, recalling a small and slim figure in his mind.

Yang Zhihao was the kid who helped fetch gold bars from the subway locker on Hong Kong Island.

Later, when Ah Jiao and the others went to Hong Kong Island, he specifically asked them to check on this guy, learned that after Yang Zhihao's mother passed away, he went with someone to the Philippines.

Unexpected to see more news about him today...

And the latter part of this intelligence is shocking as well.

Manila is even more chaotic than Africa, with kidnappings happening nearly every day. Qi Yun once watched in a documentary that some gangs specifically targeted Chinese people.

What were these two second-generation kids thinking, going to such a chaotic place.

But... if I could rescue those two kids, could it also help establish new friendships with important figures?
