Everyone then came to their senses. Indeed, they shouldn't have panicked before things were clear.

Jing Li did not pressure him about this.

Because she knew that once the seed of doubt was planted, people would no longer trust her as they had before.

Nian En glanced at everyone and, seeing that they had quieted down, continued slowly, "Actually, I'm not completely clueless about my father's disappearance. Just last night, my subordinates photographed a suspect who is very likely to have kidnapped my father."

I was planning to bring this up in the meeting today, but since Miss is here, it saves me the trouble of notifying her.

Jing Li scoffed at his words.

If she hadn't used a scheme to force Nian'en, she probably wouldn't have taken this step.

She was quite curious about who he would use as a shield.

While thinking, Nian'en stood up and walked towards the projector. Soon, several photos of Chinese men appeared on the screen.

The moment Jing Li saw the photo, her brows furrowed tightly. This person was none other than Cui Yu, who had been missing for a long time!

She thought he had died in that civil war long ago, how could this be...?

Jing Yang's disappearance—is it related to him?!

"Before my father disappeared, he told me that he was going to see an old friend, but he didn't tell me who he was going to see. After my father disappeared, my initial suspects were always the Red Dragon Legion."

Because I was concerned about the person my father met before he disappeared, I investigated along two lines: keeping a close eye on the Red Dragon Legion on one hand, and searching for my father's so-called old friend on the other.

This person should be familiar to the young lady. His name is Cui Yu, a Chinese national, and the nephew of her father's lover, Cui Enqing. The relationship between the Cui family and her father is not good because of Cui Enqing.

I found out that not long ago, Cui Yu's younger sister, Cui Xueling, the fake heiress of the Cui family, died in the Red Dragon Legion's rebellion. Cui Yu went to Country D to find his sister and then disappeared. The Cui family went bankrupt shortly afterward.

Cui Xueling's death was caused by the young lady's boyfriend, Fei Mo. In order to rescue the young lady, he kidnapped her and took her to Country D, where he handed her over to the Red Dragon Legion.

Even the bankruptcy of the Cui family was orchestrated by his father and Fei Mo. Cui Yu and his father were sworn enemies.

This person was seen in the area where my father disappeared before he did, so I have reason to suspect that he is the mastermind behind my father's kidnapping!

Nian En's explanation is very clear and logical.

"Do you think it's possible for a penniless loser to kidnap his father, who is quite skilled?"

Jing Li retorted with a cold laugh.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is cooperating with others. The cooperating party may be someone from the Red Dragon Legion, or perhaps someone from EN's past enemies. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out yet."

With a regretful smile, Nian'en countered each move with a witty remark.

Everyone fell silent; things had gone far beyond their expectations.

In the past, EN offended quite a few people in its struggle to seize territory and win contracts.

It would be a real challenge to sift through the list of enemies, because EN has just too many enemies.

“I know that my father wants my brother Nian'en to inherit EN because he doesn’t want me to get involved in these complicated businesses. He just wants me to live a peaceful life.”

But you are not me, how could you know my heart? The path my father paved for me is not what I want. Rather than being a mediocre, wildly successful entertainer in China, I long to soar in a wider sky!

Jing Li smiled faintly and spoke again.
