CHAPTER 487: CHAPTER 487: GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR TO ARREST PEOPLE

"You don’t need to argue. That day you were rummaging through my study, quite pleased with yourself, huh? What were you looking for?" Feng Wanshan sneered.

So, he knew about Anna searching through his study that day. Anna’s betrayal was already a matter of certainty.

"The fact that you betrayed me isn’t really it; what angers me the most is that you actually sided with Lin Fan. Do you know Lin Fan is my arch-nemesis? He’s the person I hate the most, and you actually teamed up with the person I despise against me!"

Anna rummaging through his study indicated that she already had a change of heart, but that wasn’t the most serious part yet.

He sent Anna to get close to Ning Xiaoyue to deal with Lin Fan, but Anna used false information to deceive him, leading him to lose to Lin Fan again.

This was the most serious situation, suggesting that Anna actually sided with Lin Fan; otherwise, how could she help Ning Xiaoyue? Helping Ning Xiaoyue means helping Lin Fan!

"Why? I’ve been so good to you, why would you betray me and side with that Lin Fan? You better explain it to me right away!" Feng Wanshan roared.

Feng Wanshan stared at Anna, waiting for her response. The evidence was irrefutable, leaving Anna no room to argue. She could only answer the questions.

"Where did my father go?"

After a moment’s silence, Anna asked word by word, lifting her eyes to look at Feng Wanshan.

Feng Wanshan was taken aback: "Your father? You’re asking about your father’s whereabouts? Is there a situation you aren’t clear about? I’ve been helping you search for 15 years..."

"Shut up!"

Anna interrupted Feng Wanshan with a cold tone: "You don’t need to pretend here anymore. I already know that for the past 15 years, you’ve never really helped me find my father. You were just deceiving me, and you even meticulously found people to cooperate in your act to deceive me."

Feng Wanshan’s face changed. No way, Anna actually knew about this. Impossible!

"Anna, don’t say such nonsense. How could it be fake? I’ve been here for years, and throughout these years, I haven’t given up searching for your father. Qian Wu is indeed a private detective, so how could it be fake? You’ve overthought it or been influenced by others; it’s Lin Fan who influenced you, right?" Feng Wanshan chuckled.

Anna sneered: "Do you still think I’m that little girl from 15 years ago, so easy to fool? The truth is just as Qian Wu said. Lin Fan subdued Qian Wu that day and learned the truth from him. He even recorded it—do you want to hear it?"

Feng Wanshan’s face turned pale.

Damn, Qian Wu actually said that.

It’s Lin Fan again!

How did Lin Fan manage to subdue Qian Wu? Logically, Lin Fan shouldn’t have known Qian Wu at all!

Feng Wanshan was perplexed.

"Feng Wanshan, why don’t you just tell me the truth? You haven’t searched for my dad at all for 15 years. Why did you deceive me? You’d better have a clear explanation!" Anna said coldly.

Feng Wanshan’s eyes shifted, and he suddenly sighed: "Well... it was for your own good. I did search in the initial few years, but eventually, I lost hope. I realized I’d never find your father. Continuing would just be a waste of manpower and resources. But I didn’t dare tell you; I feared it would break your heart, so I continued pretending to search for your father each year."

Anna was stunned. Is that really the case?

If that’s really the case, then she has seriously misunderstood Feng Wanshan. If that’s true, Feng Wanshan is practically a warm-hearted angel, telling a benevolent lie to protect her.

Feng Wanshan seemed to have convinced Anna, and felt joy in his heart as he continued: "Anna, also think about it; what was my relationship with your father? Our friendship was closer than biological brothers. I hope you won’t misunderstand me further about this."

Anna couldn’t help but tremble: "Is that really the truth?"

What Feng Wanshan said could be plausible. For so many years, Feng Wanshan has been taking care of her. She wouldn’t have suspected him at all before, until Lin Fan let her hear Qian Wu’s recording, revealing that Feng Wanshan had been deceiving her all along!

However, Feng Wanshan just explained that as well and made a logical case. She felt a bit confused for a moment.

If Feng Wanshan had only been telling a benevolent lie, then she truly wronged him.

Perhaps... she shouldn’t have trusted Lin Fan from the start. After all, compared to Feng Wanshan, Lin Fan is an outsider...

While Anna was caught in uncertainty.

Suddenly, the door to Feng Wanshan’s office was pushed open. A beautiful female officer, accompanied by two policemen, walked in.

This left both Feng Wanshan and Anna puzzled. What was going on?

"Mr. Feng, hello, I’m Loli from the Yun City Police Station. I ask that you come back with us to assist in an investigation regarding the 15-year-old disappearance case of An Jincheng. Here is the court’s warrant. We hope Mr. Feng will cooperate," the beautiful officer said straight to the point.

Feng Wanshan and Anna were both stunned.

The Yun City Police Station came directly to arrest someone?

This was too sudden!

Feng Wanshan said: "Officer, what mistake have I made that you’re taking me back? I had already given a statement for the disappearance case 15 years ago. I know nothing about it. Why are you arresting me now?"

Loli chuckled: "Feng Wanshan, I advise you to surrender willingly. Based on current evidence, we have reason to believe you are involved in the disappearance of An Jincheng 15 years ago. Our initial findings suggest you are the perpetrator."

"What?" Anna’s face changed, looking at Feng Wanshan in shock.

She was almost convinced by Feng Wanshan just moments ago. This turn was too abrupt, and she wasn’t prepared for it at all!

"Officer Luo, what’s happening? Since when have the police been following up on my father’s case?" Anna asked curiously.

Loli replied: "The police station conducts investigations into cold cases every year. Each year, a batch of old cases gets solved, some even dating back 30 years. These cases were hard to solve before, but now with technological advancements, unsolved cases can be cracked. Your father’s case is one of the old cases I’ve been following up on recently."

Anna was pleasantly surprised: "So does that mean, Officer Luo, with the help of high technology, you can solve this case? Can my father be found?"

Loli shook her head: "No, your father hasn’t been found yet. This breakthrough wasn’t due to high technology, but because of one person."

Anna asked in surprise: "One person?"

Loli answered: "Lin Fan."

Anna was stunned, it’s Lin Fan!

This answer was both unexpected and expected because Lin Fan had promised to help her solve the case. She just didn’t expect Lin Fan to work alongside this beautiful female officer.

Lin Fan again!

Feng Wanshan was furious, deeply hating Lin Fan; this Lin Fan was practically his nemesis!

Loli continued: "With Lin Fan’s help, we’ve gradually found some clues. Following those clues led us to some evidence. All evidence points to one person, and that’s you, Feng Wanshan!"
