Chapter 192: Chapter 192

Shengshi Group Mansion.

Anna hurriedly walked into the meeting room. Despite still being injured and having difficulty moving, her footsteps seemed somewhat urgent.

In the meeting room sat Feng Wanshan and a thin man.

"Godfather, Qian Wu, is the news about my father true?" Anna asked directly.

The thin man, named Qian Wu, was the one who brought back the news about her father.

Feng Wanshan nodded solemnly, "I spent a fortune on this clue, it shouldn’t be false."

Qian Wu also nodded, "Based on the clues Mr. Feng provided, I investigated and found traces leading all the way to Southeast Asia. I am sure that your father appeared there."

Anna was emotionally agitated, "This means there’s a good chance my father is still alive, and we might be able to find him!"

Qian Wu said, "Yes, there is indeed hope, but..."

Anna pressed, "But what?"

Qian Wu sighed, "Now the price of information is getting more expensive. To get more news, we need more funds. I just discussed this with Mr. Feng, I got a lead, but the other party wants 5 million cash to provide the information."

That’s too expensive!

She simply couldn’t afford that kind of money!

She felt a sudden sadness.

When she was still a little girl, 15 years ago, at the tender age of 10, her father An Jincheng disappeared.

Neither dead nor alive.

No one knew if An Jincheng was still alive.

She lost her mother when she was young and lived with her father. After his disappearance, she became an orphan.

Feng Wanshan, who was like a brother to An Jincheng, took Anna in as his goddaughter after An Jincheng disappeared and supported her education.

Ever since she learned of her father’s disappearance, Anna never stopped thinking about finding him. To search for her father’s whereabouts, she learned a variety of skills, later joining the military, becoming a mercenary, and working in a security company—all to make herself stronger.

But fifteen years passed, and she still hadn’t found An Jincheng.

Feng Wanshan had always supported her and even spent heavily to arrange for Qian Wu to pursue An Jincheng’s trail.

Just yesterday, Anna heard the news and hoped to find An Jincheng, so she arranged to meet here today.

Having news of her father, Anna was naturally happy, but hearing that she needed 5 million to buy the news left her troubled.

She couldn’t come up with that money herself!

Feng Wanshan said, "Isn’t it just 5 million? As long as we can find Brother Cheng, money isn’t a problem. Little Na, you don’t have to worry; I’ll provide the money. Qian Wu, I’ll write you a check right away!"

Qian Wu smiled, "Alright, thanks to Mr. Feng, this time we might find Mr. An."

Anna looked a bit conflicted and said, "Godfather, I want to follow this lead myself."

Feng Wanshan said, "You know I don’t want you to take risks. I’ve already lost a good brother; I don’t want to lose you too!"

Anna bit her lip, "I’ve been honing my skills all these years to protect myself. Godfather, I really want to go."

Feng Wanshan, although always providing funds to help find An Jincheng, had one request for Anna: he didn’t want her to get involved, arguing that he didn’t want her to risk herself.

This time, however, Anna really wanted to get involved.

Feng Wanshan said, "It’s not that I’m not letting you go, but you’re a girl, and I can’t be at ease. Besides, you have a task now; you need to help me find Lin Beixuan!"

Feng Wanshan smiled, "How about this? You know Qian Wu’s capabilities. Let him continue the investigation for now, and you keep helping me with Lin Fan. Once you complete this task, I’ll consider letting you follow up. How does that sound?"

With Feng Wanshan saying this much, Anna couldn’t say anything more.

After all, Feng Wanshan was providing the money!

She couldn’t go against him.

"Alright." Anna had to nod, suppressing her inner urgency.

Qian Wu smiled, "Miss Anna, don’t worry, I’ll do my best and inform both of you as soon as I have any news."

Feng Wanshan said, "Let’s settle it , Anna. You should hurry back so Lin Fan doesn’t get suspicious. By the way, has Lin Fan shown any signs of activity these past few days?"

Anna said, "He leaves in the morning and returns at night; I haven’t noticed anything suspicious for now."

Feng Wanshan said, "Think carefully; is there anything you haven’t told me? Don’t miss anything. I need to know his every move!"

Anna had indeed hidden a few things. Last night, Lin Fan brought Liu Bing’er home for the night, and Liu Bing’er was actually Liu Tingshan’s granddaughter!

Anna appeared to be in deep thought before decisively shaking her head, "No."

Feng Wanshan was visibly a bit dissatisfied but could only say, "Alright then, in any case, remember your task. I know your abilities; you won’t let me down. I’ll follow up on your father’s matter with Qian Wu."

Anna responded, "Godfather, I’ll leave now."

Anna turned and walked out, frowning slightly.

Feng Wanshan’s words earlier felt somewhat threatening. This meeting today didn’t seem so simple, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it at the moment.

This meeting added a sense of pressure. She needed to quickly complete her undercover mission at Yunding Manor, find Lin Beixuan swiftly, and personally pursue her father’s whereabouts!

Anna walked out of Shengshi Group Mansion and immediately got on her motorcycle parked by the roadside and left.

Yet Anna didn’t notice a Rolls-Royce Cullinan not far off.

Lin Fan, dressed in a courier uniform, had just retrieved a package from the trunk and came around the car, catching a glimpse of Anna leaving.

Lin Fan frowned, "Anna? She took half a day off, so she did come to see Feng Wanshan? Could she be reporting on me?"

He was a bit curious; Anna could have easily reported to Feng Wanshan over the phone, especially since she was injured, so why did she need to come in person?

Things seemed more complicated than they appeared.

Lin Fan, carrying the package, arrived at Shengshi Company’s front desk.

"Delivery," Lin Fan said to the receptionist.

The receptionist said, "Whose phone is it? You call them yourself to come out and pick it up."

Lin Fan made the call and then waited at the front desk, stealing glances inside.

He saw Feng Wanshan standing at the meeting room door, talking to a thin man.

Since he was far away, Lin Fan couldn’t hear what they were saying. However, having gained top-notch insight, he was no ordinary person and could decipher their conversation through lip-reading!

The thin man said, "Rest assured, Mr. Feng, Anna won’t find out. I’m leaving now."

He actually mentioned Anna’s name!

The two exchanged a few brief words before parting, and the thin man walked towards the door.

Feng Wanshan also glanced over.

Lin Fan had already conspicuously turned his head to cover his face.

Feng Wanshan probably never dreamed that this delivery man was actually Lin Fan!
