Bai Peng is innocent.

What he missed was the time when the three of them got together heartlessly.

He was not the one who broke this peace.

He gained nothing from this broken relationship.

Instead, he endured decades of unwarranted guilt.

When Bai Peng heard Wen Xiuyuan say this, he burst into tears.

This person, second only to the most powerful person in Region F, was crying like a baby at this moment.

"Old Wen..."

"Why is that..."

"Even if she didn't do these things, I would still help her..."

"We grew up together!"

"You two are my only friends!!"

Wen Xiuyuan listened to Bai Peng's words, covered his eyes, and his shoulders shook slightly.

"Old Wen, you are all smarter than me..."

Bai Peng cried breathlessly: "Is it because I'm too stupid that I can't figure it out?"

Wen Xiuyuan still covered his face.

After a long time, he replied in a hoarse voice.

"How much smarter am I than you?"

…

"The boy is good."

Xia Qing sat in the office chair and looked at Ning Fan: "No wonder Old Wen admires you so much."

"Director Xia is so kind."

Ning Fan sat on the sofa and responded with a smile, "I've been able to get to where I am today thanks to the support of the headquarters and Uncle Wen. I still have some gratitude in my heart."

"At this age, it's not easy to remain neither arrogant nor impatient."

Xia Qing praised again.

Ning Fan smiled and was about to continue the pleasantries, but Xia Qing changed the subject.

"Lao Wen and I have been friends since childhood."

Xia Qing suddenly became serious: "So, he also told me about your situation."

Ning Fan also got into the state.

Xia Qing picked up a document on the desk.

She shifted her gaze to the document and said slowly, "I heard your mother is missing, right?"

As she spoke, she looked at Ning Fan again, a smile on her lips.

"Any news about her?"
