Chapter 220: Chapter 220

Anna looked at Lin Fan in astonishment.

Lin Fan’s sudden words shocked her: "How did you..."

Lin Fan said, "I knew from the very beginning, even before you started applying for the position of a housekeeper at Yunding Manor."

Back when Lin Fan was still a delivery man, one day he delivered food to Shengshi Group and met Feng Wanshan and Anna. Afterward, Anna surprisingly appeared on the list of applicants for Yunding Manor.

Lin Fan knew then that Anna was an undercover sent by Feng Wanshan, but he never knew the purpose behind Feng Wanshan’s actions.

Anna controlled him and interrogated his background.

So, Feng Wanshan’s elaborate plan was just to find out about his background?

On that day, Zhang Dafu represented Lin Fan to bid for Yunding Manor. To keep a low profile, he participated under the name "Mr. Lin," and thus the name of the mysterious tycoon Mr. Lin shocked Yun City.

After Feng Wanshan failed, he was unwilling to give up and was determined to find out Mr. Lin’s identity. Later, learning that Yunding Manor was hiring a housekeeper, he sent Anna to apply. After entering Yunding Manor, Anna discovered that Lin Fan was the master of the manor.

However, Feng Wanshan, seeing Lin Fan’s young age, did not believe that Lin Fan was Mr. Lin, thinking Lin Fan was just a facade, and Mr. Lin was someone else.

Later, Su Jinjin asked Lin Fan where his wealth came from, and to deflect, Lin Fan fabricated an uncle named Lin Beixuan.

Upon learning of "Lin Beixuan’s" existence, Feng Wanshan concluded that Lin Beixuan was Mr. Lin, the person behind Lin Fan.

Feng Wanshan wanted to find Lin Beixuan to better deal with Lin Fan.

And Lin Beixuan was actually the system, and Feng Wanshan knew nothing about the power of the system. To deal with Lin Fan was to go against the system.

Anna was astonished: "You knew from the start that I was sent by my foster father, so why did you still let me succeed?"

Because the system gave Lin Fan a task to win over Anna, he had no choice but to let her succeed.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Because I wanted to know what Feng Wanshan really wanted, but that wasn’t the main reason. The main reason is that your resume was so outstanding, far surpassing others, that I found it hard to refuse."

Even someone as aloof as Anna couldn’t help but feel a bit proud at such straightforward praise.

Anna bit her lip: "Stop with the sweet talk, do you think I’ll let you go? Even if you knew my identity from the start, so what? You’re still under my control now, so we can speak freely."

Lin Fan sighed and said, "Everything I told you is true, there’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me."

Anna said, "I’ll ask you one more time, what is Lin Beixuan’s identity and where is he now?"

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "I’ve already told you, I don’t know."

Anna clenched her teeth: "If you won’t tell, don’t blame me!"

Anna drew a small knife from her waist.

Lin Fan was taken aback: "What do you intend to do?"

Anna said, "If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll cut your leg, sever your artery, and let you bleed. If I don’t stop the bleeding, you’ll die within half an hour, so you’d better be prepared to reveal the truth quickly after I do it!"

Lin Fan sweated: "That’s too harsh, can you really bring yourself to do something so cruel?"

Anna coldly said, "Are you testing my patience?"

Lin Fan said, "I am your master after all, haven’t I treated you well since you arrived? Don’t you feel even a little moved? Besides, as handsome as I am, can you really bear to hurt me?"

Anna’s heart seemed to take a hit, her gaze became somewhat different.

Scenes of her interactions with Lin Fan flashed through her mind: that night at the charity ball when she got drunk and Lin Fan drove her back to the manor, sitting on the sofa with her all night, and the night of the challenge when she was hurt by Muay Thai Li San, and Lin Fan helped her heal... and again at the charity ball, when Lin Fan donned a custom top-tier suit, she instantly fell for him...

How could she forget, she even found it unbelievable herself, that she would have such shy feelings for Lin Fan.

But, at the thought of her father, at the thought of needing Feng Wanshan’s help to find her father...

The strange look in Anna’s eyes gradually disappeared.

"No, if you won’t speak, I won’t hesitate to hurt you!" Anna gritted her teeth, her eyes now only cold.

Seeing this, Lin Fan shook his head: "Is Feng Wanshan worth you doing this for him?"

Anna coldly said, "I’m not doing it for him."

Lin Fan said, "It’s for your father, right?"

Anna’s face changed as she stared at Lin Fan: "What did you say?"

Lin Fan actually knew about her father too?

Damn, how does Lin Fan seem to know everything, how does he do it?

Lin Fan smiled slightly and said, "15 years ago, your father, An Jincheng, mysteriously disappeared, and you’ve been looking for him with no leads. After your father’s disappearance, Feng Wanshan, a friend of your father, took you in as his adopted daughter, sponsored your education, and even spent a lot of money hiring private investigators to search for your father. Am I right?"

Anna couldn’t help but be surprised: "How do you know this?"

Lin Fan said, "By coincidence, on the day you took leave, I happened to go to Shengshi Mansion again, and I saw Feng Wanshan and Qian Wu. You went to see them that day, right? They told you they had a lead on your father."

Anna was stunned, Lin Fan really knew everything.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Not only do I know what you know, I also know things you don’t. Feng Wanshan and Qian Wu have been lying to you all along!"

Anna was shocked: "Stop trying to sow discord here, how could my foster father deceive me?"

Lin Fan said, "Qian Wu told me personally, believe it or not. Feng Wanshan has been pretending to help you find your father, but in reality, Qian Wu hasn’t done anything because there’s no lead on this matter, you’re the only one kept in the dark."

Anna angrily said, "You’re lying, my foster father wouldn’t treat me , Qian Wu recently traced my father to possibly being in Southeast Asia, and my foster father just gave him 5 million to buy information!"

Lin Fan said, "That’s fake."

Anna excitedly said, "Why would my foster father do this?"

Lin Fan said, "Because he needs you to work for him, and your father is your weakness. That’s the only way he can grasp your weakness, and for your father, you have no choice but to obey his commands. If I’m not mistaken, tonight’s action was something he forced you to do, right? I can tell you don’t want to hurt me."

Anna calmed down and coldly said, "Do you have any evidence for what you’re saying?"

Lin Fan said, "The evidence is on my phone, I recorded my entire conversation with Qian Wu."

Recording is a good habit, and Lin Fan is a master at it.

Anna then took Lin Fan’s phone, found a recording, and it was exactly the conversation when Lin Fan, in disguise, interrogated Qian Wu.

Anna naturally recognized Qian Wu’s voice.

After listening to their conversation, Anna collapsed weakly into a nearby chair.

Lin Fan’s words she could choose not to believe, but Qian Wu’s words in the recording, she had no choice but to believe!

All these years, her foster father had been seemingly spending money to help her find her father An Jincheng, but in reality, he hadn’t been searching at all, and he and Qian Wu had been deceiving her all along!

And she, like a fool, was played by them!
