Even though Xiao An had already guessed what the deep-seated hatred between Sun Xingchao and Fang Wei was, he was still somewhat shocked to hear Sun Xingchao say it out loud.

Fang Wei's audacity was evident from a young age. Over the years, many of those he had harmed had sought revenge or petitioned for justice, but Du Fangyun had suppressed them all before they even began.

Du Fangyun is Fang Wei's protector. The old saying "a doting mother often spoils her son" is perfectly illustrated in the case of Du Fangyun and Fang Wei.

As for Fang Min, although she seems to hold a high position and great power, she can't even lift her head in front of Du Fangyun. As for Fang Wei's education, she just lets him develop unchecked.

"Because your father's petitions were not only useless, but he was also falsely accused of having mental problems and locked up in a mental hospital. This made you see a truth, a truth that has been passed down since ancient times: officials protect each other. You can't leave your sister's blood feud unpunished. So, you secretly investigated my relationship with the Fang family and found it wasn't so harmonious. You wanted to join forces with me to deal with Fang Wei."

Xiao Anhe finished speaking in one breath, picked up his coffee and took a small sip, "So, you weren't surprised at all when I called you today, and you gladly accepted the invitation."

Without the slightest hesitation or embarrassment, Sun Xingchao nodded directly, "Yes, I want to join forces with you."

"So," Xiao Anhe said calmly, "even the reason I ran into Ranran on the inner ring elevated highway that day was something you deliberately arranged?"

Sun Xingchao nodded again, "Yes."

Xiao Anhe's dark eyes flashed with an unfathomable emotion. "No wonder I was able to escape even though Qian Yue'e had arranged assassins at every exit at my father's memorial service that day. It wasn't that my people were capable, but that Captain Sun's men were behind me."

Sun Xingchao looked at Xiao Anhe's face, remaining noncommittal. His silence was tantamount to confirming Xiao Anhe's statement.

Xiao Anhe put down his coffee cup and looked at Sun Xingchao. "One last question."

Sun Xingchao spread his hands. "Mr. Xiao, may I ask you?"

"How did you find out about Ranran's true background?" He had also investigated Xu Moran's true background carefully and was curious how Sun Xingchao, who had only been transferred from X City to B City for a short time, knew about it.

"A year ago, before I applied to be transferred to City B, I saw a photo of a girl. She was the only niece of a deputy... high-ranking official. I heard people gossiping that the deputy... found her at an orphanage in City B when she was five years old. Later, when I arrived in City B, I was surprised to find that there was a girl in the City B police station who looked very much like the deputy...'s niece. I became suspicious and had someone find her information. I was surprised to find that the two girls were not only the same age, but also from the same orphanage. My first thought was that the deputy...'s niece might be a twin, and she didn't know it. Later, I went to the orphanage and, based on the clues, found out about the switch. The orphanage director at the time didn't expect that Xiao Xu's maternal grandmother was a deputy... high-ranking official. Once she found out, and knew that she was coming to claim her relative, she had a wicked idea. She wanted her granddaughter to live that kind of life of the elite, so she arranged for the baby to be switched, so that the deputy...'s niece could grow up in the orphanage."

At this point, the question Xiao Anhe asked him—how he discovered that Xu Moran was actually the vice... his biological niece—has been answered.

Then he thought of something and said to Xiao Anhe, "I just don't understand why two people who are not related by blood can look so alike. If you don't look at their inner qualities, just by standing there, their similarity is ninety percent."

Xiao Anhe listened patiently as he finished speaking, then took out his phone and opened a photo he had just received.

The photo shows a young woman in her early twenties. Judging from her features, she is indeed very pretty. However, considering the environment around her and the expression on her face, it just doesn't feel right.

It was obvious that she was having a great time at some kind of club, and there was no limit to how far she went. Her disheveled clothes and abnormal flush on her face were enough to tell that she was on drugs.

Sun Xingchao's father was a doctor who always raised his children in a very conventional way, so he couldn't stand the licentiousness and extravagance of so-called wealthy or prestigious families.

After Xiao Anhe retrieved his phone and quickly deleted the photo, he asked Sun Xingchao, "Captain Sun, after seeing this photo, do you still think she looks like Ranran?"

Sun Xingchao shook his head without hesitation, "Not at all."

Xiao Anhe took out some money from his wallet and put it on the table. “Captain Sun, if you don’t like the coffee, just say so next time. Also, there’s something else I need to tell you. The Fang family isn’t as easy to deal with as you think, especially Du Fangyun. Her relationships are more complicated than you think. We men shouldn’t involve women in our affairs. It’s pointless to do so.”

After saying that, he got up and left.

Sun Xingchao suddenly remembered something and called out to Xiao Anhe, "Mr. Xiao!"

Xiao Anhe stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Sun Xingchao. "Captain Sun, is there anything else?"

Sun Xingchao avoided Xiao Anhe's gaze and said in a low voice, "I absolutely never intended to harm Xiao Xu."

Xiao Anhe smiled. "I believe that."

He had no intention of harming Xu Moran, nor did he intend to help him. In other words, if Sun Xingchao had wanted to harm Xu Moran, or had already done so, do you think he would still be sitting there calmly talking to Sun Xingchao like he was just now?!

Xiao Anhe withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at Sun Xingchao. "Tomorrow, I will take Ranran to X City, but it will only be a trip for her to have fun."

Xu Moran had told him that she had rarely left B City in her life, and she had never had time to go to the capital city X City. He felt extremely sorry for her when he heard this and insisted on taking her around.
