314: Horrifying Speculations
"What's wrong with him?"
Gu Jun wasn't too surprised.
Jason said that An Yongmao was the "uncle" who had been taking care of the mother and son for so many years, but the neighbor, Ms. Tan, said that An Yongmao was not the lover she had seen.
There was no need for either of them to lie.
So either Jason didn't know that Fu Hong had other men besides An Yongmao, or... there was something wrong with this An Yongmao.
What really made Gu Jun suspicious was the way An Yongmao and Fu Hong got along.
When An Yongmao first returned to South City, Fu Hong was very obedient to this man. Later, Fu Hong suddenly changed. An Yongmao agreed to let Jason stay in South City, but Fu Hong insisted on taking Jason with him. Mrs. Jiang couldn't be Fu Hong's lifelong support. How could Fu Hong have the confidence to go against An Yongmao, the financial sponsor?
This inverted relationship is very wrong. It seems that Fu Hong has something on An Yongmao.
The assistant doesn't need to know Gu Jun's thoughts. He just does whatever Gu Jun tells him to do.
"He has some money problems."
The assistant carefully considered his words. "On the surface, it appears that An Yongmao immigrated abroad through investment. He hasn't done anything illegal while abroad and is an honest businessman. However, based on his life trajectory, it seems he doesn't have the financial resources to qualify for investment immigration."
The assistant gave Gu Jun a document containing all the information about An Yongmao.
An Yongmao, a resident of Nancheng demolition project.
He became rich overnight after his ancestral home was demolished 20 years ago.
After becoming rich from demolition, An Yongmao lived a prosperous life for a while until he became addicted to gambling.
First, he lost the cash compensation for the demolition, then lost the housing he was allocated after the demolition. In just a few years, An Yongmao had squandered all his family fortune. During this period, An Yongmao's parents passed away one after another, and An Yongmao's wife was driven away by anger. Everyone who mentioned An Yongmao would call him a prodigal son.
Without the restraint of his family, An Yongmao gambled even more unscrupulously.
"Ten years ago, An Yongmao was rarely seen by the An family's relatives. They only knew that he would be away frequently, and sometimes he would come back to spend lavishly and enjoy himself for a few days, and sometimes he would come back without even money for food. About four or five years ago, An Yongmao last appeared at his relatives' home. His relatives advised him to stop gambling and find a class. An Yongmao had a big argument with his relatives and left Nancheng again. This time, he was away for a longer time, and he didn't return to Nancheng until over a year later. As soon as he returned, he went through the immigration procedures."
Gu Jun silently flipped through An Yongmao's information. His assistant added quietly, "Some say he won the money he used to immigrate, but—"
"But even if a gambling addict wins a large sum of money, how can he possibly stop? If he really had such a strong tolerance, he wouldn't have driven his parents to death and forced his wife to leave him in the first place."
Gu Jun took over the assistant's words with a sarcastic look on his face.
It is impossible for a person without background to take away a large sum of money from the casino. Winning is only temporary. The casino has countless ways to lure winners to gamble again. The money that An Yongmao won from the casino will not last long enough for immigration and will be returned to the casino.
Gu Jun didn't know what kind of person could successfully quit gambling, but it definitely wouldn't be someone like An Yongmao.
Besides, this gambler who could drive his parents to death and force his wife away, yet he has been supporting Fu Hong without any regrets for so many years, and even raised Jason, who is not related to him by blood, as his own son. Is it possible?
An Yongmao became rich from the demolition, but he lost all his property a few years after the demolition. He was in poverty for most of the next decade or so. How could he have the money to provide Fu Hong with a good life?
The townhouse where Fu Hong lived before going abroad was worth a lot of money.
Jason's painting and other educational expenses from childhood to university were not a small amount of money.
An Yongmao simply can't afford it!
The An Yongmao in the information and the "Mr. An" that Gu Jun had met were simply... like two different people.
The information about An Yongmao shows that he is a gambler who is not presentable.
Judging from the words and actions of the "Mr. An" that Gu Jun had met, he was a businessman who had seen the world.
While the assistant only suspected problems with An Yongmao's immigration funds, Gu Jun felt something was amiss with An Yongmao himself. An Yongmao was Fu Hong's lover, and Gu Jun had no fondness for him. A respectable man wouldn't have spent so many years with Fu Hong. But insisting that Fu Hong abandoned her husband and children and left the Gu family for a gambler seemed to belittle her character.
Fu Hong thinks highly of herself and is unwilling to live an ordinary life. She looks down on Gu Wenting, a teacher with a meager salary, so how could she fall for a gambler!
The assistant didn't know what Gu Jun had concluded, so she could only continue to explain what she had found. "...Anyway, this An Yongmao actually started a legitimate business after immigrating. He's made quite a bit of money in the past two years, and he even funded Ms. Fu to open a gallery."
Fu Hong was determined to break into the art circle. An Yongmao supported Fu Hong's dream very much. He funded Fu Hong to open a gallery and even paid out of his own pocket to organize a traveling art exhibition to help Jason build momentum.
"Even though he loves her so much, he still doesn't give Ms. Fu a legitimate status?"
The two had no name or status in China, and they still had no name or status after immigration, and they did not register their marriage!
This is also the reason why Gu Jun dug out Fu Hong but failed to find An Yongmao when he first investigated Jason. There was no legal relationship between them, and the two were not together all day long, so it was indeed difficult to investigate!
The assistant didn't dare to respond to Gu Jun's ridicule.
Gu Jun can criticize Fu Hong, but the assistant cannot agree with him. Who knows what game Fu Hong and An Yongmao are playing? Could it be that they both like the excitement that is not justified?
Gu Jun didn't expect the assistant to answer anything. He read An Yongmao's information again, and the more he read, the more uncomfortable it seemed.
The Mr. An he had met and the Mr. An Yongmao in the information were clearly two different people!
It's not the appearance that's the problem, it's the inner qualities and the feeling, as well as the details that are full of mistakes and omissions and can't be matched.
The assistant was surprised by Gu Jun's conclusion. "If it's not An Yongmao, then who is he?"
The assistant just suspected that there was something wrong with An Yongmao's funds, but Gu Jun's suspicion rose to a new angle, which made the assistant feel terrified.
"I want to know who he is, too."
Gu Jun closed the information about An Yongmao in his hand.
Now that I know who "Mr. An" is, I understand why Jason agreed to leave South City with Fu Hong.
Fu Hong had the leverage over Mr. An, and also over Jason.
"That--"
The assistant wanted to ask Gu Jun which direction to continue the investigation, but Gu Jun looked at his watch and waved his hand to signal the assistant to go out first.
Before the assistant could react, he saw the wise Mr. Gu skillfully open the competitor's app and enter the live broadcast room page.
The assistant suddenly understood.
There is a time difference between abroad and China. It turns out that Miss Xu’s live broadcast has started.
Mr. Gu really loves Miss Xu. Ever since Miss Xu switched to Orca, Mr. Gu has to check the Orca App many times every day. If the boss of Orca knew about this, he would probably laugh his ass off!
