Bai Lu stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Feng: "I just called Xiao Wan's father, and as soon as he heard that the child was only five years old, he hung up the phone. I was just about to explain when he disappeared!"
Bai Lu: "Since we can't make a phone call, how about we send a message? We can explain it properly and see!"
Lin Feng: "Okay, fine!"
He quickly edited a message, clearly explaining the whole story, and sent it over.
She also included a photo of Xiao Wan now.
While watching the news, Meng Zhe noticed a report about the opening of the Linfeng Ecological Base.
In a daze, I saw a little girl who looked a lot like Xiao Wan.
But then I thought, how could that be?
If Xiao Wan were still alive, she would be a grown woman by now. How come she's still a five-year-old child?
He chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued browsing the news.
Just then, my phone vibrated.
A text message from an unknown number.
Upon clicking, I found a picture of Xiao Wan on it.
The photo shows Xiao Wan wearing a purple fluffy nightgown given to her by Lin Feng, resting on the sofa with the snow leopard cubs.
They look very cute.
It's clearly not one of those blurry old photos.
It is a very high-resolution image.
This scene...
It looks somewhat familiar!
The background of the photo clearly indicates that it was taken at home, and the two sleeping snow leopard cubs in it—who would dare to keep wild and rare animals as pets at home?
Take another look at the name on it.
Lin Feng!!
This name sounds familiar!
Meng Zhe immediately called over Assistant Wang.
"You mentioned someone called you earlier, what was the caller's name?"
Assistant Wang was taken aback and tried hard to recall.
"His name is very ordinary. He said his name is Lin Feng!"
Lin Feng?
Assistant Wang suddenly remembered.
Meng Zhe had previously sent him to Lin Feng's base.
I bought a rare bee.
But that was a long time ago.
I didn't expect Lin Feng to send a message at this time.
Could it be...?
Assistant Wang quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.
If someone is trying to scam people out of information to make money.
Therefore, Lin Feng would never resort to such underhanded tactics.
Because he doesn't need to!
Besides, he's not short of money at all, so why would he waste time doing these things?
Meng Zhe quickly figured this out.
"Call them immediately and find out! I want to know more about Xiaowan!"
Although Lin Feng had already given a general explanation.
But Meng Zhe was inwardly excited.
I want to know more details.
When Assistant Wang returned after making the call, he had a happy look on his face.
"Mr. Meng, I've arranged to meet Mr. Lin tomorrow morning at nine o'clock! Let's talk in person then!"
"Would you like us to prepare something?"
Meng Zhe felt uneasy.
"Yes, yes, get things ready!"
He quickly got up, dressed, and rushed outside.
"Xiao Wang, don't come for the next two weeks!"
Xiao Wang chased after him, calling out, "President Meng, there's no need to be in such a hurry..."
Before he could even speak, Meng Zhe had already rushed out of the company.
The company staff looked at each other in bewilderment. What time was it? What was the boss rushing off to?
"Have you heard? It seems the boss is going to take half a month off this time!"
"What happened? Mr. Meng is always a model worker in the company, why would he take so long off?"
"Are they going on vacation?"
A young female employee covered her mouth and whispered mysteriously, "I bet she's on a date with some young lover!"
Someone immediately retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! President Meng is a good man! I believe he's definitely not that kind of person!"
The male employee scoffed, "You girls are so short-sighted! He's just an old man, what can't he do! Don't just look at his good looks! You're so superficial!"
"He's handsome and rich, he's already great!"
Assistant Wang coughed as he stood behind everyone.
Those with sharp eyes had already spotted Assistant Wang.
He immediately asked, "Assistant Wang, what did you think President Meng went to do?"
"Anyway, it's not a bad thing! President Meng has been in a good mood lately!"
Some people wanted to ask more details.
"Ahem, you guys are all so gossipy. Everyone just mind your own business, and you'll find out in a while!"
Assistant Wang returned to his office with a smile to handle his work.
...
Meng Zhe sped home.
He returned to the villa and went straight to the bedroom.
On the bedside table was a semi-circular transparent shell.
A beautifully crafted wooden mermaid.
That was a birthday gift he carved himself for Xiao Wan years ago.
But it's been so many years late, and it still hasn't been sent out.
He picked up the mermaid carving and gently stroked the smooth wood grain with his fingertips.
Open the safe hidden under the bed, and you'll find a thick scrapbook inside.
The yellowed photo album contains pictures of Xiao Wan from birth to adulthood.
Each photo captures a happy moment for the family of three.
Meng Zhe sat on the edge of the bed, tightly hugging the commemorative album.
In every photo, Xiao Wan is smiling happily.
"Xiao Wan, you're still alive?!"
His voice choked with emotion, and tears blurred his vision.
He wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and took a deep breath.
