"What's wrong with that girl? She's quite beautiful; you can like her at first glance."

Wang Liwen rubbed her aching lower back and walked into the rest room.

"It's nothing... I also think she's quite pretty."

Zhang Mingxia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said with a dry laugh.

"Hey, why are you trying to set your Junguang up on blind dates again?"

Wang Liwen joked.

Zhang Mingxia was preoccupied with something on her mind, so when she heard this, she just smiled and didn't refute it.

For so many years... she has actually been keeping a secret in her heart.

to this end.

She had been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Nan family in Hangzhou.

Just six months ago, she overheard from a nouveau riche relative who was somewhat well-informed that there was a case of a 'real and fake heiress' in the Nan family of Hangzhou.

But this matter only spread within the circle, and there was still no news about it outside.

Logically speaking, if the child was mistakenly identified, the hospital should be the most at fault.

However, Zhang Mingxia didn't hear a word about it at the hospital.

She was anxious for more than half a month because of this, but she was relieved when she saw that the Nan family really didn't intend to pursue the matter.

Thinking.

Perhaps the other person is a big shot, broad-minded and forgiving, and feels that it's good that the child has been found, so it's not impossible that they don't intend to hold a grudge against the hospital.

When she saw Nan Shu today, she recognized her at a glance. This was the Nan family's 'fake heiress'. She had seen photos of Nan Shu attending banquets at a relative's house before.

It instantly stirred up the secrets and memories hidden deep in her heart.

If she truly didn't know anything about the missing child case, then the mix-up at birth...

Zhang Mingxia lowered her eyes and ate her boxed lunch absentmindedly.

It's okay, she thought.

Since Mr. Nan didn't hold it against it, no one else will likely hold it against it either.

This secret is best kept to yourself.

……

After some investigation, it seemed like things were stagnating, but in reality, there hadn't been much progress.

Fortunately, the name 'Liu Huanhuan' came into view, and the case, which had been stalled for 22 years, finally had a direction for investigation.

corridor.

Nan Punian made a phone call.

"A Nian?"

A clear, cool voice rang out, tinged with a hint of doubt.

after all.

The two brothers don't communicate much, and they are both very busy. Basically, a few words on WeChat are enough for them.

The number of times we chatted by phone was very few.

"Brother, I've found a clue related to Xi Nian."

Nanpu gets straight to the point.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he heard the sound of a pen rolling to the ground from the other side.

A dull 'thud'.

Nan Punian had visited his elder brother's office three years ago. He remembered that it had wooden floors, and judging from the sound, there was probably a blanket on the wooden floor now.

This sound also struck the elder brother's heart hard.

It's clear that this news had a significant impact on the eldest brother.

Nanpu thought.

He briefly recounted the findings of today's investigation to his elder brother.

More than 20 years ago, the Nan family was not as prosperous and glorious as it is today, but it was still quite well-known throughout the country.

At most, they could be considered one of the prominent families in the capital.

after that.

With his keen business acumen and insightful analysis of policies, Grandpa almost always managed to ride every wave of opportunity, accumulating wealth rapidly. After his eldest brother took office, he directly led the Nan family to its current position.

Therefore, he believed that his elder brother must have other ideas.

There might be unconventional ways to find Liu Huanhuan outside of the system.

Years of criminal investigation experience told Nan Punian that this 'Liu Huanhuan' was very likely the key to finding Xi Nian.

"Okay, I understand. I'll send someone to look for it. Don't tell Grandpa about this yet; he hasn't been feeling well lately."

After a long silence, Nan Yannian slowly spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Um……"

He thought so too.

Nan Punian pursed his lips. "Grandpa's health... is it not good again?"

Sensing the concern and worry in his third brother's words, Nan Yannian's expression softened a bit. "Yes, it's an old problem, but don't worry, I'll take care of everything at home."

Upon hearing this, Nan Punian's eyes suddenly stung with tears.

After talking with his second brother, Nan Punian suddenly realized that over the years, he had thought he had sacrificed a lot: coming to Hangzhou alone, being wounded, being shot, and rising step by step to become the detachment leader...

Looking back, I realized that the eldest brother chose to inherit the family business, while the second brother, although he became an actor, mainly took on roles and variety shows in Beijing.

This allowed him to do whatever he wanted without any worries.

"elder brother…"

Nan Punian's voice became hoarse.

The sentimental words were almost on the tip of his tongue, but he caught them in his throat after hearing his older brother chuckle.

"A-Nian, are you going to cry? You're almost thirty, but you still think you're fifteen."

Fifteen-year-old Nan Punian got into a fight with some local thugs while at school to protect his brother, but he lost.

He returned home bruised and battered, crying his heart out in utter despair.

After seeing this, Nan Yannian didn't say anything, but went to fight someone that very night and won.

From then on, being fifteen years old became an unspeakable 'dark history' in Nan Punian's mind.

Upon hearing this, Nanpu's swollen heart felt as if it had been punctured.

"Bye."

Nan Punian slammed the screen, threw the phone into his pocket, and took a deep breath.

This conversation and banter helped Nan Punian recover his composure considerably.

It's okay, don't rush, take your time. They've already waited for so many years, there's no need to rush.

……

For three days in a row, there was still no news from Liu Huanhuan. Pi Ming did mention a kidnapping case, but it was something he had heard secondhand and involved several people.

No one knows whether this actually happened or if it was just Pim or his friends bragging.

The detachment returned to its peaceful yet busy days.

Nan Shu has been staying in her small apartment for the past few days, focusing on preparing her thesis proposal after finalizing the topic with her thesis advisor.

Nan Shu was no stranger to academic papers; she had written quite a few in her previous life. However, since her major was different, it still took her a lot of effort.

Simultaneously.

'bite'--

A message alert sounds.

The assistant paused in his report, glancing subconsciously at the phone beside his boss.

Nan Yannian glanced at him, raised his hand, and gestured for him to go out first.

The assistant immediately understood, turned and left the office, glancing back curiously before leaving.

This is the first time that General Manager Nan has interrupted his report... Just who sent the message that made General Manager Nan take it so seriously?
01: [Seeing someone through to the end, you're welcome.]

It was followed by an incredibly flamboyant emoji, which Zero One created using his own selfie.

Nan Yannian simply ignored it.

Instead of immediately opening her email, she picked up her phone and tapped the screen with her fingertips.

Nan Yannian: [Urgent order, help me find someone] (End of this chapter)
