Feng Wanshan was very happy: "Very good, come back to Yun City, letâs meet."
Anna replied: "Okay, Iâll go back to Yun City now. Should I go directly to the company to see you?"
Feng Wanshan said: "Iâm currently socializing outside, I donât plan to return to the company. Letâs meet at my house."
Anna said: "Okay."
Anna then left Hang City and headed straight to the Feng Family in Yun City.
Feng Family Mansion.
When Anna arrived, the Feng Familyâs butler greeted her; however, Feng Wanshan had not returned yet.
The butler welcomed Anna into the house, served her tea, and then went off to busy himself, leaving Anna to wait for Feng Wanshan to return on her own.
Anna waited in the house for a while, but Feng Wanshan did not come back. Suddenly, Anna noticed the door to Feng Wanshanâs study was open. With a curious mind, ensuring it was safe, she quietly snuck into the study.
Anna had wanted to do this for a long time, ever since Lin Fan told her that Feng Wanshan had deceived her. Over the years, Feng Wanshan hadnât looked for An Jinchengâs whereabouts at all; he had been lying to her, even going so far as to hire so-called private investigators to stage a performance.
Anna really wanted to know why Feng Wanshan would do such a thing?
Lin Fan suggested Anna go back to Feng Wanshanâs side, firstly for Lin Fan to cooperate with her from the outside, and secondly to get close to Feng Wanshan and look for an opportunity to investigate.
Now was a good opportunity, and Anna began to search through Feng Wanshanâs study.
But after hastily going through everything, she didnât find anything useful.
Suddenly, Anna noticed a computer nearby, so she walked over and sat in front of the computer, attempting to turn it on.
The computer required a password to log in and use. Anna tried several passwords, but they were all incorrect; the computer couldnât be logged into!
Anna frowned and, inspired, entered a string of numbers, and the computer actually turned on!
"Itâs dadâs birthday..." Anna murmured.
Feng Wanshanâs computer password was An Jinchengâs birthday. She was just trying it out, not expecting it to actually open.
It seemed that Feng Wanshan truly valued his friendship with An Jincheng, like brothers indeed. This friendship was unmatched; An Jincheng had been missing for so many years, yet Feng Wanshan still used An Jinchengâs birthday as his computer password.
Could she have misunderstood Feng Wanshan?
Anna couldnât help but feel a bit confused.
Feng Wanshan had indeed deceived her, but might there be any hidden reasons for this? Seeing how deeply Feng Wanshan cared for An Jincheng, he definitely couldnât be the person who harmed An Jincheng and caused his disappearance!
Once the computer was logged in, the desktop appeared.
The desktop background was surprisingly a photo of Feng Wanshan and An Jincheng together!
This photo had a vintage feel to it; both Feng Wanshan and An Jincheng looked like young men in their twenties.
It was the first time Anna had seen this photo; Feng Wanshan had used it as his computerâs desktop background, indicating how much he missed An Jincheng. They truly were good brothers.
Maybe she really had wronged Feng Wanshan, Anna sighed inwardly.
Just then, she heard movement outside. The butler seemed to be talking to someone.
Feng Wanshan was back!
Anna quickly turned off the computer, left Feng Wanshanâs study, and returned to the living room, pretending to drink tea.
Sure enough, just as she returned to the hall, Feng Wanshan walked in.
"Sorry, the dinner lasted a bit longer, have you waited long?" Feng Wanshan said with a smile.
Anna smiled: "No problem."
Feng Wanshan spoke as he sat down: "You said over the phone that the task is complete, tell me about it?"
Anna said: "Hmm, godfather asked me to gather dirt on Ning Xiaoyue. Iâve been around Ning Xiaoyue these days as her security, and Iâve secretly filmed a video of her."
Then Anna sent the video to Feng Wanshan, who opened it and was very pleased: "Great, Anna, you did well. With this video, I will definitely make Lin Fan pay double the price this time!"
Feng Wanshanâs schemes were all aimed at dealing with Lin Fan.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan was busy investigating An Jinchengâs missing case.
These days, the person Lin Fan saw most was Loli.
At this moment, Lin Fan and Loli were meeting in the car.
"Iâve checked it out, 15 years ago, Feng Wanshanâs company indeed encountered difficulties..." Loli said.
That day, from Zheng Yangâs words, they learned that An Jincheng had confided his concerns because a friend encountered difficulty, which An Jincheng could help resolve, but he didnât want to, leaving him conflicted.
Zheng Yang didnât know who the friend was or what the difficulty was.
Lin Fan and Loli only had this clue, so they began investigating.
Firstly, they investigated An Jinchengâs interpersonal relationships to determine who that "good friend" in trouble could be.
Feng Wanshan was undoubtedly at the top of An Jinchengâs list of friends, so their investigation started with Feng Wanshan.
Now, Loli discovered that Feng Wanshanâs company indeed faced trouble 15 years ago.
Lin Fan asked: "What kind of trouble?"
Loli said: "Feng Wanshanâs Shengshi Group was still a small company back then, and Feng Wanshan himself wasnât a rich kid. The money he used to establish the company was from investors. Because investors suddenly withdrew, the companyâs funding chain broke, and they couldnât solve the investment issue for a while, nearly leading to bankruptcy."
Lin Fan frowned: "Feng Wanshanâs companyâs funding chain break is indeed a difficulty, but what does it have to do with An Jincheng? An Jincheng was just a poor teacher from a humble background; he couldnât possibly help Feng Wanshan solve the money problem. This differs from what Zheng Yang said; An Jincheng wasnât unable to solve his friendâs difficulty, rather he didnât want to."
Loli asked: "Are you saying Feng Wanshan can be ruled out? An Jinchengâs good friend is someone else?"
Lin Fan said: "For now, it seems he can be ruled out, but I still donât understand why Feng Wanshan would deceive Anna. He clearly never searched for An Jincheng, so there must be some secret here."
Loli said: "An Jinchengâs social circle was simple; he was focused on work and didnât have many friends. Feng Wanshan was his closest buddy, and if ruling him out, there arenât many left to investigate."
Loli was somewhat concerned that the lead provided by Zheng Yang might ultimately be futile, that theyâd been working in vain.
Lin Fan comforted: "No worries, we have plenty of time to investigate slowly; eventually, the truth will come out."
Loli nodded: "Right. Oh, let me tell you something, do you remember what happened the day we hurried back from Zheng Yangâs house to Sanxue Townâs market?"
Lin Fan curiously asked: "I remember; it was the day a woman was holding her baby asking for help, right? We helped her and took them to the hospital; luckily, we arrived in time, and her child was saved."
The doctor said that if they had arrived one step later, the baby would have been gone.
That event had passed, and Lin Fan was curious why Loli suddenly brought it up.
Loli sighed and said: "Indeed, we made a good deed, but the driver Old Wang ended up in big trouble!"
