Chapter 282 Whoever reaps the greatest benefit is the culprit.
Xu Fan was Ouyang Jing's first boyfriend.
Fang Ke had seen in the records that Xu Fan had appeared in his hometown 6 years ago, but he disappeared after that.
Fang Ke found Xu Fan's photo and showed it to Yan Nuo.
"Do you know this man?"
Yan Nuo frowned, still having a strong impression of this person. "I've seen him before."
Fang Ke revealed a knowing look and suddenly asked, "If I'm not mistaken, was this person present at your house six years ago, and then not long after, you were sent abroad?"
Yan Nuo was surprised, "How did you know?"
That's why Yan Nuocai left a deep impression on him.
That day, when he returned home, he saw this man. He was dressed simply but was very clean and tidy. Surprisingly, Yan Zhengfeng and Ouyang Yue, two people who were fond of the rich and powerful, treated him as an honored guest and even chatted and ate with him warmly.
Yan Nuo was also at the dinner table that day. The man asked him some questions, but he wasn't very interested and just gave them perfunctory answers.
Later he learned that the man was looking for someone, saying he wanted to inquire about Yan Zhengfeng and Ouyang Yue's whereabouts, but both of them regretfully said that they had no further contact.
Yan Nuo was sitting in the living room, playing a game with his headphones on. He was completely absorbed in the game, oblivious to everything else.
Until this person suddenly came over excitedly and grabbed the wooden carving pendant from his keychain.
He asked him, "Who did this?"
Yan Nuo glanced at Ouyang Yue, but she showed no expression. Yan Nuo assumed that Ouyang Yue had forgotten, so he said sullenly, "I just bought it from a roadside stall."
But the man was very excited, holding his wooden carving and saying repeatedly, "No! Impossible! This must be Ah-Qing's work!"
He looked at Yan Nuo with intense emotion and asked, "Who are you?"
Yan Nuo was startled by his excited appearance. In addition, because of the incident with the fat man, he was already averse to adult men. He pushed the other man away and ran away.
Yan Nuo was unaware of what happened next. The next day, he asked Yan Zhengfeng if the person from yesterday was still there.
Yan Zhengfeng simply said naturally, "He left last night."
Yan Nuo simply said "Oh," but in reality, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, Yan Zhengfeng asked him if he would like to study abroad, saying he could help him apply.
Yan Nuo found it strange at the time. Why would Yan Zhengfeng be so kind?
But he seized the opportunity and said directly, "I'm going."
When Ouyang Jing heard the name "Xu Fan," she began to convulse, her hand outstretched as if she wanted to grasp someone's hand.
"...Fan...Xu Fan...save him..."
She repeated herself over and over, almost out of breath, before finally saying, "Yan Nuo, lay your mother down flat first."
Yan Nuo did as she was told, her eyes filled with heartache.
He still didn't understand. "What happened? Who is Xu Fan?"
Fang Ke's face darkened. "Yan Nuo, at this point, you should just call the police."
“Xu Fan is the man you met 6 years ago. He was also Auntie’s first love, and he has been looking for her. The time he disappeared coincides with the time you went abroad to study. I suspect that he has been dealt with by Yan Zhengfeng.”
"…………"
“This is just my speculation. Auntie has been imprisoned here for so long, she may have been mentally unstable. On the day Xu Fan came, Auntie met him under some circumstances, and perhaps even watched him being killed... The shock made her condition worse, and then Yan Zhengfeng completely abandoned her, leaving her to fend for herself underground. That’s why we see that the tunnel is covered with cobwebs, and no one has been here for a long time.”
"But I just saw a lift conveyor in the kitchen here, probably used to deliver food to her."
"She lived alone for another six years until recently, when she could no longer eat, and the food delivery service stopped. They probably all hoped she would die quietly."
"Yan Nuo, your aunt is really amazing. She persevered until you arrived."
Yan Nuo could no longer cry; his eyes were swollen and painful. He gripped Ouyang Jing's hand tighter, hoping to gain courage and energy from her.
At that moment, Yan Nuo felt that he had grown a lot in an instant.
He sincerely thanked Fang Ke, "Senior, I am really grateful to you. The thing that has troubled me for more than 20 years, the biggest problem in my life, you came to my rescue and solved it all in one go... But don't worry about what happens after this. It is my responsibility to take care of all of this."
"I want justice for my mother and for that uncle."
"I often fantasize about stabbing all of them to death with a knife, and then setting a fire to take them all down with me."
“But I’m not alone now, taking care of my mother is more important… I don’t want to become a criminal like Yan Zhengfeng.”
"It's time to expose the bedsores of the Yan family to the public and let everyone see just how ugly they are."
Fang Ke felt a little relieved. She had really thought about whether she would support or oppose Yan Nuo keeping Yan Zhengfeng and Ouyang Yue locked in the basement for decades.
However, "Don't worry, you can use the Fang family's legal team as you please. I guarantee they'll be locked up in prison for decades."
If Xu Fan really died at Yan Zhengfeng's hands, his crime would be even greater, and no matter how much money Yan Zhengfeng has, he will not escape legal punishment.
Zhao Qi pressed down on Yan Nuo's shoulder from the other side, "You can use the Zhao family's legal team too. If you need money for a lawsuit, come to me."
Yan Nuo finally smiled and started arguing with him.
"I still have that much money."
The incident was reported to the police that day, made the local news, and caused a sensation throughout the city.
Police indeed unearthed a skeleton under a pear tree on the back hill, and discovered a basement beneath a wine cellar on the back hill where the missing person had been imprisoned for 30 years.
The veteran detectives who came to handle the case fell silent. They immediately ordered everyone in the Yan family to be handcuffed and taken away. Before the Yan family members got into the car, they were shouting and hurling insults, but the impartial police officers gave them a good talking-to on the spot with batons.
Yan Qiao and Yan Shang, who were howling from the beating, saw Yan Nuo come out and both shouted, "Yan Nuo! Did you do this on purpose? You put on such a big show just so you could take all the family fortune for yourself!"
"You're so vicious! We can't compare to you! You're the truly vicious one, you fucking deserve to die!"
Yan Nuo just looked at them coldly, "Unfortunately, it's you who are going to die now."
Ouyang Yue was also struggling frantically, yelling, "Yan Nuo! You little beast, you're just as shameless as your mother! Your mother is dead, why aren't you dead yet!"
Yan Nuo stood at the car door with a gloomy face and looked at her. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, Auntie. My mother is not dead. She has finally seen the light of day again. Now it's your turn to taste what it's like to be locked up for decades."
Ouyang Yue trembled violently, "Impossible! Impossible! She's dead! How can she still be alive? Impossible! She's already dead..."
Yan Nuo knew she had gone mad, and gave her a cold look without any sympathy.
He looked at Yan Zhengfeng one last time, and Yan Zhengfeng, who seemed to still have some sense, asked him, "Is your mother really still alive?"
"..."
Is she alright?
"..."
"...Please tell her I'm sorry for me."
Yan Nuo sneered, didn't answer a word, and turned to leave.
Yan Zhengfeng couldn't help but call out to him, "Yan Nuo! The Yan family is now in your hands!"
Yan Nuo had her back to him, and after a long while, she suppressed her nausea and said coldly, "The Yan family is so disgusting, whoever wants it can have it."
After saying that, he strode away into the distance, but Yan Zhengfeng knew that he would never see this mother and son again in this lifetime.
Yan Zhengfeng suddenly clutched his heart, his chest clenching painfully. The intense pain made it hard for him to breathe, and he collapsed to the ground. Yan Nuo, however, never looked back at him again.
Only the paramedics who had gathered around were shouting something.
Yan Zhengfeng lay on the ground, looking at the gloomy sky above. He suddenly thought that he should have refused that person's offer back then.
Why did I become so bewitched? It's like opening Pandora's box, and now there's no stopping me.
The seeds of evil were sown in his blood the moment he made a deal with the devil, and they blossomed.
"Boss, we detected a very faint amount of artifact energy on Yan Zhengfeng as well. He was also manipulated!"
Fang Ke came to his senses and asked, "You're back?"
"Yes, boss! After the upgrade, I feel like I'm the number one invincible ruler in the universe! (Hands on hips)"
“.
"Boss, do you have any suspects? Who exactly used the tool on these two people 30 years ago?"
Fang Ke coldly looked at the mess on the scene. "It's easy to guess, isn't it? Whoever gets the biggest benefit in the end is the culprit."
"Yi Mohan's father, my senior's enemy, and the mysterious man who almost became my father-in-law... all these information points to one person, and I have overlooked them for so long."
"Yi Xiuyong".
