Chu Zhaoyang went on a business trip first.
Hence, the meeting between the two families could only wait until Chu Zhaoyang came back from his business trip.
Yan Chuwei was sitting in the corner of the cafe, opposite a man in a gray shirt.
"Did you find out everything I asked you to check?" Yan Chuwei asked in a low voice.
The man opposite was the detective in J City.
Before becoming a detective, he was a policeman in J city.
More than fifty years old, if Gu Nian's father was still alive, he would be about the same age as her father.
According to what Gu Nian said, since Gu Licheng was a policeman in J City, the person in front of him should know him.
City J was a small city, and everyone belonged to the same system. Even if they didn't work in the same place, they usually interact in private and get to know each other.
Even if they were not familiar with it, they could find out by asking people they know.
When Yan Chuwei wanted to investigate Gu Licheng's affairs, she immediately thought of him.
How did she begin to suspect Gu Licheng?
In the past, whenever anyone asked about Gu Nian's father, Gu Nian would say without hesitation that his father was a policeman and had died.
But later, when someone asked again, Gu Nian said that he didn't know what his father did.
Did this make her suspicious?
Yan Chuwei wanted to catch Gu Nian in her dreams. She finally had such a suspicion. No matter whether it could be used or not, Yan Chuwei didn't want to let it go.
The fact did not disappoint her. In all the police systems in J City, there was no such person as Gu Licheng.
She still understood Gu Nian's character.
GU Nian did not like to lie.
She may have really felt that way before. Gu Licheng was a policeman who died in the mission.
According to what Gu Nian said, Gu Licheng died not long after she was born.
Then the only one who would tell Gu Nian like this was Mu Lanshu.
Under what circumstances would Mu Lanshu deceive her daughter?
Obviously he didn't die in the mission, and he wasn't even a policeman, but she still had to tell Gu Nian like this.
Could it be that speaking out about ordinary work would embarrass Gu Nian?
Unless...
Yan Chuwei tapped her fingertips on the table. Unless Gu Licheng's work was shady, speaking out would make Gu Nian look embarrassed and be discriminated against.
Therefore, she asked the detective to investigate Gu Licheng's work.
By chance, the other party came to City B for a business trip recently, so he asked her to meet him.
The other party nodded: "That's right."
Yan Chuwei frowned and said dissatisfied: "What do you mean?"
Without saying much, the other party took out a brown paper bag from his bag and handed it to Yan Chuwei: "You will understand after reading it."
Yan Chuwei glanced at the other party suspiciously, then opened the brown paper bag and took out the documents inside.
Inside, was the life of Gu Licheng. How he got into the police academy and met Mu Lanshu. Then he graduated but did not join the police force. Instead, he followed Mu Lanshu to Yucheng and later disappeared. Mu Lanshu claimed that Gu Licheng already dead.
No matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like he was a policeman and died.
Yan Chuwei frowned: "What's the use of these?"
"I'll send you another document. You'll know after reading it." The other party said and sent her a video on his phone.
Yan Chuwei received the video sent by the other party and clicked on it to watch it.
The more she looked, the wider her eyes opened, her face full of disbelief.
This video was exactly the video of Chu Zhaoyang being kidnapped as a child.
It was also the same video that Yan Lui anonymously sent to Chu Zhaoyang.
Although Yan Chuwei didn't know what Chu Zhaoyang looked like as a child, she could tell from the kidnapper's conversation in the video that the beautiful child in the picture was Chu Zhaoyang!
Nowadays, Chu Zhaoyang was always calm and reserved, with a cold look. No matter what happens, he didn't seem to change his attitude.
But it turned out that when he was a child, he would also be afraid and cry.
Only in the second half of the video, the young Chu Zhaoyang's face gradually became numb and stopped talking, but it overlapped with his current appearance.
Yan Chuwei turned off the video in disbelief. Her hands were cold, but she couldn't help but look excited on her face.
"Is this...are these all true?" Yan Chuwei trembled as she spoke excitedly, looking at the other person excitedly.
The other party nodded: "Absolutely reliable."
Yan Chuwei licked her lips and calmed down her mood, but a new wave of excitement surged up again.
She took a deep breath and asked, "Where did you get it?"
"You don't have to worry about it." The other party said casually, "I always have my own way. I open the door to do business, and someone wants to ask me to do research for her, so I do my best to meet the customer's requirements. But the customer doesn't come and inquire about my connections."
Yan Chuwei understood this.
This detective was very famous in his profession.
In addition to having a good mind, it was also because of a wide enough network of contacts, both black and white.
If he casually discloses the route to his guests, reveals it to his colleagues who were repeat customers, or went to find it by himself, this will be a loss for him.
Yan Chuwei nodded.
Looking at the picture in this video, it seemed to be quite old, and it didn't look like it could be synthesized using a computer.
Yan Chuwei immediately paid half of the money to the other party and said, "I will verify the authenticity of this video and make sure there was no manipulation in it. I will pay you the other half immediately."
The other party agreed, and Yan Chuwei left the money to pay the bill and left first.
Yan Chuwei didn't want to delay at all. She wished she could immediately prove that the video was true and stomp Gu Nian down.
So, she immediately went to a trusted computer expert to check the video.
After confirming that it had not been processed by a computer, Yan Chuwei kept her promise and paid the other half of the money.
