Chapter 227: This Is Way Too Coincidental!

As soon as this familiar exclamation came out, the two people standing on Du An Rao’s left and right both straightened up at the same time, and their ears perked up.

It had already been said that Du Wei Shuai and his son were just targets dragged out into the open. Behind them, there was still a Lord pulling the strings from the shadows.

Yao Fang Jin was not that Lord, but he was the sharpest blade under that Lord’s hand.

Don’t be fooled by how young he looked. The things he had done were one crime after another.

Du Tian Ci and that Young Master Du only set traps to harm people. Whether it was tricking others into debt or isolating and bullying someone, they could only be counted as indirect offenders.

But this Young Master Yao was different. He had real lives on his hands, and more than one!

Du Bi Xiao’s face changed slightly. She almost could not stop herself from stepping forward and dragging him away in handcuffs right then and there.

The reason people said Yao Fang Jin was that man’s sharpest blade was because all the dirty, shameful, exhausting jobs were done through him.

Not only that, he also had a partner, said to be a mysterious boss from a small border country as turbulent as Emerald Country. The two of them worked hand in glove, and in just a few years they had basically done every crime listed in half of the criminal code.

[Huh, why does this description look so familiar? That foreign partner of his, could he just happen to have the surname Jia?]

Jia? What was so special about that surname?

The two who had missed out on the first round of gossip had no idea what shocking secret was sealed behind that name.

But Du An Rao reacted at once. She hurried to flip through the plot related to these two, and soon found that the mysterious partner first appeared when Yao Fang Jin asked him to help transport a batch of goods. The other party agreed and smoothly added a request of his own, asking Yao Fang Jin to help him find someone inside the country.

That part of the plot was not written in much detail. It did not say clearly what that person’s name was or if it was a man or a woman, but Du An Rao still immediately thought of that Miss Bai who had almost turned her brother into a poor sucker who had to take over someone else’s mess.

If it really was those two, it could explain why Jia Yunxiao’s business was clearly all overseas, yet he could still locate Bai Xiu Qing’s movements so quickly and so accurately, and even had the power to strike their family so precisely, to target her second brother.

Only, would that not be a little… too coincidental?

[No matter what, this guy is not a good person at all. He has hurt a lot of people. I should find a chance later to try to report him. I don’t know if it will work though.]

Du Bi Xiao thought to herself: “……” There was no need to bother with just reporting him. Once the evidence was collected, they could arrest all of them.

But now that she knew what kind of person he was, Du An Rao did not want Fu Rui Xiang and the others to get mixed up with such a mad dog because of her.

So she took the initiative to say: “Uncle Fu, it’s already mealtime. We’re all hungry, and the guests in the restaurant are waiting to eat too. Let’s not waste time on these small things.”

As soon as Fu Rui Xiang heard her tone, he knew she did not plan to pursue the matter. He let out a breath of relief, but he still felt a bit guilty.

“Alright, I’ll send you in first.”

Du An Rao and the group grandly entered a private room, leaving Yao Fang Jin with Du Tian Ci and the father and son standing in the hallway, looking at each other in confusion.

“Mr. Yao, what do you think about this…” Du Wei Shuai started carefully.

Watching the door of the private room close, Yao Fang Jin finally let the smile fade from his face. His gaze grew heavy as he stared at the three of them, making a chill run down their backs.

“What are you still standing around for? Are you waiting for them to throw you all out?”

Du Wei Shuai jolted awake as if from a dream. He bowed over and over and said: “Yes, yes, yes, you’re right. Mr. Yao, this way please. Our seats are over there.”

Yao Fang Jin gave him a light glance, then, as if sensing something, looked again in the direction of the private room. Only then did he turn to leave, under the tense eyes of the Du family.

Once they entered the private room, the atmosphere became lively at once.

Unlike last time, now that Fu Rui Xiang had helped his eldest brother and sister-in-law find their biological son, he really wished he could treat Du An Rao like an ancestor and worship her.

“You rarely come here, and you even had to run into such an annoying thing. That’s my fault as your uncle. You and your friend look at the menu first. Order whatever you want to eat. Today this meal is on me, to make it up to you. In a bit I’ll go into the kitchen myself and cook for you. I guarantee you’ll get to eat the best food in this restaurant.”

“Uncle Fu, if you’re willing to cook for us yourself, then we’re really lucky. But you don’t need to treat us. It wasn’t your fault in the first place. In the end I’m the one who brought trouble to you.”

“What are you talking about? It’s settled. Hurry up and order. If you wait too long, you’ll go hungry.”

Unable to refuse, Du An Rao and Xi Jing Yue each ordered a few dishes.

Du Bi Xiao and Fu Si Li also stayed. Afraid the food would not be enough, Du An Rao checked with them and added a few more dishes.

Fu Rui Xiang took the menu and left with the floor manager and the young waitress, and only then did Du An Rao quietly let out a breath.

Thinking of what Du Bi Xiao had said just now, she asked curiously: “Sis, you said you came here because you had a case to deal with. Is it done now?”

“More or less. Once I go back and sort through the information, we should be able to get a result for this case.”

“Ohhh…” Du An Rao remembered that Du Bi Xiao had also said this case needed Fu Si Li’s cooperation, and with his identity already confirmed, she guessed this case was probably about him being lost at the hospital back then.

Reason told her she should not ask more right now. But her restless curiosity still showed through her clear, bright eyes.

Fu Si Li saw it and could not help but smile.

“Speaking of this, I really have to thank Miss Du. If it wasn’t for you, I might never have found my real family in my whole life.”

It turned out that on that day, after Du An Rao told the three members of the Fu family that of the twins Old Master Fu’s eldest daughter-in-law had carried back then, one was still alive, and that this person was very likely Fu Si Li, who was now an entertainer signed under Li Zhao Yang’s agency, the three of them were all extremely excited.

With the elder couple’s permission, Fu Rui Xiang dropped everything he was doing and rushed to City B as fast as he could, taking along the DNA sample that his older brother and sister-in-law had specially left behind all those years ago when they were searching for their abducted child.

After he arrived in City B, he did not play any tricks. He went straight to find Fu Si Li and said openly: according to their investigation, Fu Si Li was very likely the Fu family’s lost child. He asked if Fu Si Li was willing to go with him to do a paternity test.

If this had happened half a year earlier, Fu Si Li would have definitely thought Fu Rui Xiang was a scammer. But half a year ago, his adoptive father had been diagnosed with uremia. In order to refuse treatment and not drag his son down with him, he had had no choice but to tell the truth: Fu Si Li was actually a baby he had picked up near the hospital. There was no blood relationship between them.

Because of that, after listening to Fu Rui Xiang’s explanation, Fu Si Li fell silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

To make sure the paternity test was accurate, they did seven or eight tests at different institutions in City J, and after they went back to City B, they did several more. The results were all the same without a single exception: Fu Si Li was the Fu family’s lost child.
