Chapter 137 Climbing Mount Sumeru at Heyanxi Pavilion
If Charles could hear this at this moment, he would definitely say: My dear lady, it's not my doing. Your information was already well protected.

Indeed, this was the case. When Charles followed Song Zhining's instructions to keep her information confidential, he discovered that someone had already been keeping it a secret for her. If someone tried to investigate, they wouldn't find any information at all, not even that Song Zhining was a member of the Song family in Shaxi Village.

Anyone who tries to investigate will encounter various obstacles and ultimately fail.

Charles didn't know who was protecting Song Zhi Ning. He tried to investigate who this person was, but he couldn't find any information. He even felt a little uneasy, as if a voice in the dark was telling him something.

Song Zhining is an untraceable, taboo existence. Continuing to investigate will not only fail to uncover anything, but will also be detrimental to him.

So Charles stopped.

Anyway, as long as the result is what he wants, that's fine.

So who is this person protecting Song Zhining? If Song Zhining were to guess, she would undoubtedly guess that it is the Future Entrusted APP.

While Song Zhining was scrolling through her phone, she suddenly received an invitation from Yan Xiting to climb Mount Sumeru in Beijing the next day, and to talk about the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a hotel and supermarket on the outskirts of Shanghai.

Song Zhi Ning thought of the chaotic scene between Shen Xingyi and Yan Xiting tonight, and also of how Yan Xiting had asked her to meet before the New Year to discuss the ribbon-cutting ceremony. However, more than half a month had passed, and she still hadn't made an appointment with Yan Xiting. Instead, she came to Beijing to meet and have dinner with Li Jing and Shen Xingyi, and was caught by Yan Xiting again.

At this moment, Song Zhining inexplicably felt a little guilty.

So he couldn't refuse Yan Xiting any longer and agreed.

The Yan family also owns a hotel in the capital city of Jia Kingdom, a super five-star, high-end, light luxury hotel called Yanse.

At this time, Yanxi Pavilion was located on the 19th floor of Yanse Hotel, which was also the floor that Yanse Hotel had always reserved for the management.

Yan Xiting took off his well-tailored suit, seemingly having just taken a shower, and wore a white hotel bathrobe. He sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looking relaxed yet dignified. Outside the window, the city's skyscrapers and dazzling lights were reflected.

On the table, the laptop was displaying the same page that Song Zhining would have seen if she were here: the very article about her that she had just come across.

Yan Xiting saw Song Zhining's confirmed reply on her phone, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Suddenly remembering the man named Shen Xingyi she had just met at the restaurant, Yan Xiting's eyes darkened.

Shen Xingyi happened to know that the Yan Group sometimes needed to hire some good celebrities to endorse or become spokespeople for certain products.

Now that Yan Xiting has come to Jia Kingdom, she must want to understand the situation here.

Shen Xingyi was recommended to him by the company; he is currently the most influential and commercially valuable top star in the entertainment industry of Jiaguo.

After returning, Yan Xiting carefully investigated everything about Shen Xingyi and learned that this person had experienced some twists and turns to reach his current top position. The reason he was able to climb out of the trough of despair was because of Song Zhining.

It was only after Yan Xiting had someone conduct an in-depth investigation that he learned this.

How could someone who is deep in despair suddenly glimpse the salvation of the sun and let go?

Naturally, one would wish to keep the sunshine by their side for a lifetime.

Yan Xiting was no different. Therefore, the moment Yan Xiting saw Shen Xingyi, he knew that Shen Xingyi was one of his kind.

Yan Xiting had always known how outstanding Song Zhining was, and now Song Zhining was even more outstanding. However, he could only keep his feelings hidden even deeper, not daring to let her know.

Yan Xiting told himself not to rush, to work hard first, and that time would give him the best answer.

Looking forward to tomorrow's itinerary, Yan Xiting put down her phone and began typing on the computer keyboard with her long, slender fingers. She had already reported all the comments from people clamoring to be the young lady's boyfriend, male concubine, or posting photos of her...

The next morning, considering that she was going hiking, Song Zhi Ning specially wore a simple tracksuit. However, given the weather in Beijing, which was still quite cold, she added a light down jacket.

Thanks to the gene-modifying fluid, her health has improved significantly. Before, she would always have cold hands and feet in winter, but now she doesn't. Even in freezing weather, a light down jacket is enough to keep her warm.

After putting on a hat and mask, Song Zhi Ning went out.

At the foot of the Brilliant Entertainment building, Yan Xiting's car was already parked. After getting in, Yan Xiting drove towards Mount Sumeru.

"Aren't you cold wearing so little?" Yan Xiting frowned slightly when he saw Song Zhining's light clothing out of the corner of his eye, worried that she might be cold.

"No, I'm in great shape and can withstand the cold. Besides, I'll warm up when we climb the mountain later," Song Zhi Ning said.

Looking at Song Zhi Ning's rosy complexion, Yan Xi Ting didn't say anything more. He thought that if Song Zhi Ning got cold later, he would take off his coat and give it to her. After all, he was a man, so it wouldn't matter if he wore one less layer.

Soon, the car arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Mount Sumeru is a very famous mountain in Beijing. Almost everyone who comes to Beijing for tourism will climb Mount Sumeru.

Perhaps because it was past the Spring Festival, Mount Sumeru was not as lively as it is during other holidays.

Song Zhining thought this was fine. Too much noise would just be people looking at each other, which she didn't like.

As the two climbed the mountain, they chatted. Yan Xiting also mentioned the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Yanse Hotel and Yanse Supermarket in the suburbs of Shanghai. The area has been developing rapidly recently, with many places under construction. It's easy to predict what it will look like when it's fully developed.

Mount Sumeru is surrounded by green hills and the air is quite fresh. You can also hear the calls of unknown birds.

Along the way, there are many stalls selling various foods or trinkets, which has become a nice sight.

"Excuse me, would you like to take a sedan chair to climb the mountain?" As we were walking, several elderly people carried several bamboo sedan chairs over and asked cautiously.

Song Zhining looked them over; they were five elderly people, aged between forty and fifty.

Dressed in simple clothes, with a towel around her neck, and slightly hunched over, she looked at Song Zhi Ning and Yan Xi Ting with expectant yet timid eyes.

The sedan chair bearers who carried passengers up the mountain were someone Song Zhining had never traveled before; she had only ever seen such people on her phone. This was the first time she had ever encountered them in person.

Looking at these elderly people, she was instantly reminded of the simple and honest villagers of Shaxi Village, who worked diligently their whole lives, striving for their families.

However, many of the comments Song Zhining had seen before were negative about the sedan chair carriers.

"How much?" Song Zhining asked.
