Wu Juemin knew his nephew would speak up, which suggested he must have some connection with that friend.
He thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you go ask Yueyue?"
"Does Second Uncle mean I should ask Yan for help?" Wu Cunxu quickly realized, meeting Wu Juemin's affirmative gaze. He recalled what Xiaoyue had said about the Yan family at Guojin Pavilion that day.
He nodded and turned to leave.
After Wu Cunxu left, Wu's mother, who had been sitting silently on the green sofa, spoke up with some concern: "Honey, Yueyue's friend is still a student. Is it really appropriate to let him do something so dangerous? How can you let a child handle something that adults can't solve? What will Yueyue think of you in the future?"
Wu Juemin shook his head with a sullen face. His wife's worries were unnecessary. After Yueyue told him about Yan Chiyu's identity that day, he contacted the special network to investigate.
[Tianyan] is a special website. As long as you can afford a huge fee, you can find a lot of information that ordinary people cannot know. It can even dig up the ancestors of those in high positions for eighteen generations.
But that evening, Tianyan's customer service replied that they could not find any relevant information and refunded the two million yuan he had paid in full.
Yan Chiyu's background was far more enigmatic than he had imagined. Wu Cunxu even hesitated, wondering whether he should allow his daughter to continue being friends with him.
The Song family praised Yan Chiyu highly, and upon closer examination, their words revealed an undisguised respect.
Thinking about it this way, his heart sank even further. Too weak, too strong—that would be best. Ah, the ancients' saying about marrying someone of equal social standing doesn't seem so unreasonable after all.
His wife looked worried, so Wu Juemin patted her hand and comforted her, "The Yan family is far more powerful than we imagined, so you don't need to worry. Besides, I only asked Cunxu to inquire; I didn't force them to help. If they're not capable or willing, they'll naturally refuse. Don't worry about it."
"Hmm..." Mother Wu nodded absentmindedly. She wasn't really worried about Yan Chiyu; what she was most worried about was her precious daughter.

Around 8 PM, the Municipal Bureau.
Chu Xiao, carrying a thermos filled with goji berries and red dates in one hand and shoving the other in his pocket, drifted into the criminal investigation team's office like a wandering ghost.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you walking unsteadily? What have you been doing at home...?" Criminal Investigation Team member Yang Lianhai winked and looked Chu Xiao up and down, his smile hiding a sly motive.
Wang Yaobei, who was sitting opposite Yang Lianhai, stopped what he was doing and looked up: "Boss, weren't you on vacation these past few days? Why did you suddenly come over?"
Putting the thermos on his desk, Chu Xiao took a lollipop out of his pocket and popped it into his mouth, saying indistinctly, "There have been two cases in Beijing recently, where people have disappeared without a trace... This time, the girl who disappeared is the daughter of someone who has important cooperation with the country, and things are in complete chaos at home. I was assigned by my superiors to investigate this thoroughly."
Chu Xiao, captain of the city's criminal investigation team. He has a healthy tan, handsome features, and a slightly roguish air. Behind his back, everyone secretly calls him "the grass of the criminal investigation team."
Chu Xiao leaned against his desk, glancing at the case out of the corner of his eye: "How's your follow-up on this case going?"
“Boss, you finally got three days off, and we didn’t dare bother you.” Wang Yaobei said with a long face, looking very frustrated. “We’ve been investigating for a long time, but we haven’t found a single clue. I’m starting to wonder if I was dreaming when I got a perfect score on the police exam back then.”
Yang Lianhai looked at the man opposite him, hesitating for a long time before stammering, "Boss, I think... ah, you might hit me if I say this, but first of all, I want to declare that I am a materialist, my mind is full of science and the core socialist values!"
Chu Xiao glanced at him sideways, her peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, the corners of her eyes tinged with red, adding a touch of allure to her masculine charm.
