To pluck Shi Wang, the aloof flower of the legal world, Jiang Wannuan relentlessly pursued him for three years.
Hearing he liked gentle and virtuous girls, she was willing to hide her identit...
Chapter 327 Father's Whereabouts
"Hmm?" Qi Huaian raised his eyebrows at this time: "Then it seems that Mr. Jiang probably has some guesses in his mind at this moment."
"That's right."
Jiang Wanning nodded, not missing the fleeting strange look on Qi Huaian's face when he heard her affirmative answer.
Probably not long ago, when Jiang Wanning met Ai Heng for the first time, she always felt that he looked unusually familiar.
But this familiarity does not come from the similarity in appearance, but from the similarity in the aura in the gestures and movements.
Gentle, elegant and nonchalant.
At that time, Jiang Wanning searched her mind but could not find any person related to the incident who could match this description.
Until today, she met Qi Huaian.
Compared to Ai Heng, Qi Huaian is still younger.
But rather than saying that he imitated Ai Heng in this aura, it would be more accurate to say that Ai Heng looked very much like Qi Huaian.
This is an unconscious imitation of the person in a higher position due to his extreme admiration for him.
But if you really think about it, given the absolute superior-subordinate relationship between the two of them in the company, this shouldn't have been the case.
Unless all of this was fake from the beginning.
"Manager Qi, when you first joined Chuangtu, you probably had other motives, right?"
"From the very beginning, the Ai brothers and sisters came to Chuangtu because of you. They are your people from the beginning to the end."
This explains why an outstanding talent like Qi Huaian would willingly stay in a small company like Chuangtu to help others, and do this for many years.
And why would a moody guy like Pei Yufeng always give Qi Huaian extra face?
For some reason, this series of accidents became uncontrollable after she took over the management of Chuangtu.
"It's you who's controlling all this behind the scenes..."
Jiang Wanning paused, then continued as Qi Huaian's face turned completely cold, "Then if I'm not mistaken, the bullet that hit Ai Li in Pei Yufeng's villa in City S was also yours."
Thinking back to when Jiang Wanning came back from the fight with Chen Jingbai in the villa, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was something wrong with Ai Li's final state.
So later, after Ai Heng recovered from the great grief of Ai Li's death, she went to see her.
Perhaps because of the tragic fact of Ai Li's death, Ai Heng finally gave in and told Jiang Wanning the truth about everything.
It turned out that he and Ai Li were indeed two orphans in the Puying Welfare Home, just as Jiang Wanning had investigated before.
However, they were not taken in on their own initiative, but were brought there by someone.
The person who took them there was good friends with the dean and was an elder who was only slightly older than them.
The other party appeared in that winter when the two children had to live with garbage all day, were hungry and almost froze to death. To them, he was like a god.
So it was natural that later on, in order to repay the life-saving favor, the two of them became pawns under each other's command and did many shady things for each other.
I thought they were grasshoppers tied to a rope.
It wasn't until Ai Li got into trouble not long ago that Ai Heng finally came to his senses. He covered his face and cried out in pain, "I should have thought of it earlier."
"When they were testing drugs on the children in the orphanage, I should have thought about this. These people don't even consider us human. We are just tools they happen to use. When they are no longer useful, they can discard us at any time without any concern..."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanning was shocked beyond words.
When she and Xie Yanchuan went to investigate Ai Heng's whereabouts, they were indeed surprised as to why the Puying Welfare Home where the Ai brothers and sisters had stayed was now deserted.
It was as if everyone in the hospital had evaporated into thin air on the same day, disappearing completely.
However, other unexpected events occurred later and Jiang Wanning temporarily put this matter aside.
But what she didn't expect was that the people on Shen Zhixun's side were so cruel that they used that group of homeless and even underage children to test drugs.
He is really ambitious and cruel!
I didn't expect that Shen Zhixun, who looked so gentle and refined at the beginning, would actually have such a vicious face in private.
As for Ai Heng, when he talked about the past, he was in great pain and his voice choked up several times: "Back then, I couldn't protect everyone in the welfare home, and now I can't protect my own sister..."
But in the end, he did not mention Qi Huaian's name. No matter how Jiang Wanning tried to get him to explain, all she got was Ai Heng's words.
He said that the man was his and Ellie's savior, and no matter what, he must remember this kindness in his heart.
Being able to tell Jiang Wanning this much was already his limit.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning suddenly had an epiphany and finally figured out that the person who Ai Heng was unwilling to talk about was actually Qi Huaian.
Time between the two seemed to be silent at this moment.
It was a long time after Jiang Wanning finished her speculation, so long that she began to hear her own rapidly beating heart, and thought that Qi Huaian would not give her another answer.
Suddenly, the man opposite laughed heartily: "Mr. Jiang, I wonder if I have ever told you this?"
"You are a very smart and capable girl. I felt that way from the first time I saw you."
At this time, being praised by your enemies is not a pleasant experience.
Jiang Wanning slammed the table and stood up at this moment: "Qi Huaian! Why are you doing this?"
"Let's not even talk about the friendship you've had with Ellie over the years. She's still a living person! What gives you the right to kill someone just because you say so?!"
And those people in the welfare home, taking so many lives, how could they be so cruel?
Even at this point, Jiang Wanning, who was infinitely close to the whole truth, still couldn't believe it.
At this moment, she stared at Qi Huaian, as if she really couldn't connect the man in front of her with the Qi Huaian she knew.
"Is there any need to ask why, Mr. Jiang?"
Unlike Jiang Wanning's uncontrollable anger, Qi Huaian turned his head slightly when he heard this question, as if he was really confused for a moment.
"I have to admit that some of your intuitions are quite sharp, and your guesses are quite correct."
"I was indeed the mastermind behind these things, but I originally thought that someone of your class would be the most sympathetic to me. But now it seems that you are a little too naive."
Qi Huaian smiled at this time.
