Yang Fan said, "Miss Peng, what do you mean by that? Are you suspecting my loyalty?"
Since being kicked out of Shengshi, Yang Fan had been following Peng Shiyi around. Firstly, he had nowhere else to go, and secondly, only by staying with Peng Shiyi could he reclaim his position as soon as possible.
It was obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that Peng Shiyi was a bit simple - minded and no match for smart people like Lu Sheng and Fang Jiangyi.
Peng Shiyi said impatiently, "I don't believe she hasn't shown any flaws. As long as she's a fake, there must be evidence."
"Don't worry, Miss Peng. There's always a way. If this one doesn't work, we can just try another," Yang Fan comforted her.
"What other methods do you have?"
Yang Fan said, "Since we can't find out through normal means, we might as well take a risk and get her DNA. Then we can do a test and get the result."
Peng Shiyi had naturally thought of this, but now she couldn't even get close to Lu Sheng.
"Can you be sure to get Lu Sheng's DNA?"
Yang Fan said firmly, "I'll handle this, but it'll take some time."
Peng Shiyi didn't want to hear any more of this so - called nonsense. She interrupted Yang Fan impatiently.
"I don't care how long it takes or what methods you use. As long as you can get evidence to prove that Lu Sheng is actually Cheng Yanxia. I don't care about the process, only the result."
Troubles seemed to come overnight.
Lan Yuzhou had disappeared. After Yanxia met him, he was secretly transferred. The whole family had vanished without a trace, as if they had been deliberately hidden away.
When Fang Jiangyi heard this news from Assistant Sun, his hand holding the pen paused for a moment.
"Have you checked all the surveillance cameras? When did they disappear?"
Assistant Sun said, "The road surveillance cameras in that area had different degrees of data loss. We can't determine exactly when they left. But since our people have been keeping an eye on them, it was probably within a day."
Fang Jiangyi could almost guess who was capable of doing this.
He just didn't understand why that person had transferred Lan Yuzhou's family. What he was doing had nothing to do with them, and there were too many irreparable stakes involved.
Fang Jiangyi frowned and said, "Tell our people to keep watching and try their best to find them."
Assistant Sun nodded. "Understood."
At the same time, Fang Jiangyi received a message from Yuan Qiuping.
She said, "There's something you need to confirm personally. According to Peng Shiyi, Lu Sheng is very likely Cheng Yanxia."
Fang Jiangyi's pupils shrank sharply. When he saw this message, his eyebrows unconsciously knitted together.
He thought this was sheer nonsense, especially since it came from Peng Shiyi. He found it even less credible. It was just another way for Peng Shiyi to sow discord.
But Yuan Qiuping probably knew his temper well. So she continued.
"I had my suspicions when I first met Lu Sheng, but I've never found any evidence. If Lu Sheng is really Cheng Yanxia, it's very likely that she and Lu Qianzhou are in cahoots since they have the same goal."
Fang Jiangyi's gaze fell on the phone screen. He stared at the message for a long time without moving.
"Now you're the closest to Lu Sheng. You have the best chance to confirm her identity personally. Of course, you can also choose to protect your little girlfriend and believe that Peng Shiyi will soon find evidence to prove her words. But I still have to advise you not to be blinded by so - called feelings. Cheng Yanxia knows nothing and might pour all her hatred on you. Then you'll end up with nothing again."
Just dealing with Lu Qianzhou was already giving him a headache, let alone if Cheng Yanxia was added to the mix. Neither of them was easy to deal with.
Sometimes being too smart wasn't always a good thing.
Fang Jiangyi put his phone aside, and the screen gradually dimmed.
In the afternoon, Yanxia was summoned to the CEO's office. As soon as she entered, she heard Assistant Sun reporting to Fang Jiangyi.
"The police still have no news. We don't know if Miss Cheng has already sneaked out of the country with someone's help."
Yanxia's heart skipped a beat. She quietly closed the door and slowly walked over to a nearby place, waiting for Assistant Sun to finish his report.
She listened nervously as her name was mentioned. For so long, it was the first time someone had so blatantly mentioned her name in front of Fang Jiangyi.
Fang Jiangyi said calmly, "It's unlikely. She won't just run away. If she's still in the country, she'll do everything she can to find me."
Because her enemy was here.
He was now so high - profile that she could see him as long as she looked up. How could she let it go so easily?
Assistant Sun asked again, "Should we still tell our people to look for Miss Cheng?"
Fang Jiangyi's gaze fell on Yanxia. "Yes, look for her. No matter what, we must find her."
After Assistant Sun left the office, Yanxia put on a smile.
"You've been looking for Cheng Yanxia?"
Fang Jiangyi said, "Don't you know?"
Yes, she always knew. Fang Jiangyi had said in an interview at the very beginning that he would find her no matter where she was in the world.
Yanxia smiled and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fang Jiangyi reached out his hand to her, his black eyes calm and deep. "I missed you, so I called you up."
Yanxia laughed. "You, the great CEO, are so unserious."
He took her hand in his and gently pulled her towards him. Yanxia was soon in front of him.
Fang Jiangyi tilted his head and rested his chin on her shoulder, closing his eyes.
"Lu Sheng, have you ever thought about our future?"
Yanxia was confused. His face was right next to hers. She only needed to turn her head slightly to touch his cheek. His warm breath was on her shoulder, creating a very ambiguous atmosphere.
"Future?" She didn't know why Fang Jiangyi suddenly brought up this word. It was so far away that she couldn't even imagine it.
"Yes, our future." His tone was very sincere. He opened his eyes and looked at her face so close to his. "Do you know why I was so eager for you to meet my father last time? It's because I thought about a lot of things in the future, including marrying you."
Yanxia's eyes widened in shock.
Fang Jiangyi's words made her feel a suffocating sense of unease.
She didn't know what to say. "Are you joking with me?"
Fang Jiangyi smiled. "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Yanxia suddenly fell silent, unable to say a word.
Fang Jiangyi was acting very strangely today. He suddenly brought up marriage out of the blue. He was always a cautious person. They had only said they were together, and they hadn't even kissed. How could he suddenly jump to the topic of marriage?
Yanxia said seriously, "Marriage is a lifetime thing, not a casual joke. Both you and I need to think it over carefully before making a decision. Maybe one day, you'll find that I'm not suitable for you."
Moreover, with the relationship between her sister and Fang Jiangyi in between, even if the incident at the Cheng family hadn't happened, they were impossible from the very beginning.
