Chapter 618 Ruan Munan is Cheng Jinyu! (Second update)
At this time, at the headquarters of Shilan Jewelry.
Inside the top-floor office, diffused golden sunlight shone onto the cool-toned floor. Cheng Jinyan sat with his head bowed before his hard-lined black desk, his emotionless black eyes slowly scanning the documents in his hands.
The office was very quiet, with a playful light shining on his shoulders and face, adding a touch of softness to the man's indifferent and cold features.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the office door.
Cheng Jinyan said solemnly, "Come in," and a secretary in a suit pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Cheng, I found the license plate number you asked me to check last time."
Cheng Jinyan immediately raised his head.
A month ago, Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Qi met on a flight from Shanghai back to the capital. After landing at the capital airport, he encountered a black Cullinan on his way home.
The face that flashed by in the window of the black Cullinan was the person Cheng Jinyan had been thinking about for the past twenty years.
He immediately asked his secretary to investigate the license plate number of the Cullinan.
But what’s strange is that the license plate number is obviously very ordinary, but it took a month to find any clues.
Cheng Jinyan immediately asked his secretary to follow the clues and conduct an in-depth investigation, and finally found the real owner of the car today.
"Who is it?" Cheng Jinyan's voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.
The secretary pushed the information she had found in front of him and said, "The owner of that black Cullinan is Ruan Munan, the boss of Yunqi Group."
This survey result made Cheng Jinyan's eyes flash with surprise.
He pushed up his glasses, picked up the investigation materials and read through them at a glance, his handsome brows slightly wrinkled.
The owner of the black Cullinan was indeed Ruan Munan.
Ruan Munan had bought the car two months prior, paying in full. However, an investigation revealed he had never driven it since purchasing it, and Yunqi Group had no record of the car entering or leaving the vehicle.
When Cheng Jinyan saw the car on the way to the airport, the driver was not Ruan Munan, but... his deceased second uncle Cheng Boyan.
How could his second uncle drive Ruan Munan's car?
What is the connection between the two of them?
Cheng Jinyan's brows furrowed more and more. He stared at Ruan Munan's ID photo on the investigation materials. The more he looked, the more he felt that something seemed wrong.
Because of Ruan Qi, Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Munan had met several times, but each time they were just nodding acquaintances, and he never paid much attention to Ruan Munan.
But now, when he looked at Ruan Munan's ID photo, he inexplicably felt that the face looked familiar.
Where have you seen it before?
Cheng Jinyan had a good memory, and if he had seen Ruan Munan, he would definitely remember her. However, in his memory of the past twenty years or so, he was certain that he had never seen Ruan Munan.
But why does it look familiar?
When he first saw Ruan Qi, he inexplicably felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
What secrets are hidden behind this pair of brother and sister?
Cheng Jinyan pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He raised his hand and asked his secretary to come over.
"Look at Ruan Munan's photo. Have I seen him somewhere before?"
Cheng Jinyan's secretary has been following him since he turned eighteen. If Cheng Jinyan has really met Ruan Munan, the secretary should remember him.
The secretary walked over to Cheng Jinyan, stared at Ruan Munan's ID photo for a while, and shook his head hesitantly.
"I don't remember you meeting Ruan Munan. And Yunqi's headquarters used to be in Country M. We have never cooperated with Yunqi, and it's impossible for us to have met Ruan Munan. It's just..."
Cheng Jinyan: "Just what?"
The secretary hesitated to speak.
He picked up the information and stared at Ruan Munan's photo from a different angle for a while, then hesitantly asked, "Boss, have you noticed that Ruan Munan looks a bit like the old man and his first wife?"
Cheng Jinyan's mind suddenly seemed to be flashed by a white light.
He straightened up suddenly: "Who do you say he looks like? My grandfather or Liu Qiuyu?"
"That's right." The secretary pointed at Ruan Munan's photo. "Ruan Munan is too fair. If his skin were two shades darker, his facial features would be sculpted from the same mold as Old Master Cheng's. And Ruan Munan's mouth is very similar to that of the original wife, with thin, upturned smiling lips."
The more the secretary talked about it, the more he felt the resemblance grew, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's so similar. If you didn't know, you would think he was the son of the old man and his first wife."
The secretary seemed to say something afterwards, but Cheng Jinyan could no longer hear it clearly.
His head was buzzing, and his brain nerves seemed to be struck by lightning, and white light suddenly exploded.
Ruan Munan looks like Cheng Qi and Liu Qiuyu... He looks like Cheng Qi and Liu Qiuyu...
Cheng Jinyan seemed to have thought of something. He snatched the information from the secretary's hand and stared at Ruan Munan's ID photo with his black eyes.
Gradually, Ruan Munan's handsome facial features began to change in his eyes, and finally slowly overlapped with the childish face of an eight-year-old boy.
"...Cheng Jinyu..."
When the secretary heard the name Cheng Jinyan said, his face changed slightly: "Boss, who are you talking about?!"
Cheng Jinyan opened his mouth, and a hoarse voice came out of his throat with difficulty, "Cheng Jinyu... He is Cheng Jinyu..."
The secretary's face turned pale.
The Cheng family is a complicated place with constant infighting among the powerful and insidious people. Among them, there are four names that are taboo for everyone.
The four names are Cheng Qi’s original wife Liu Qiuyu, Liu Qiuyu’s son and daughter-in-law Cheng Boyan and Lin Yan, and their son Cheng Jinyu.
Twenty years ago, the mistress Xu Qingya took over, Liu Qiuyu jumped to her death, Cheng Boyan died of illness due to missing his mother, and Lin Yan committed suicide for love. Their eight-year-old son Cheng Jinyu was the only living person left in the original wife's family.
However, this living person's whereabouts became unknown after his parents and grandmother "died".
No one knew where eight-year-old Cheng Jinyu had gone. In the huge Cheng family with so many people, no one had ever asked about his whereabouts.
Everyone thought he was dead, just like Cheng Boyan and Lin Yan. It didn’t matter how he died, he was dead anyway.
As time passed, the name Cheng Jinyu ended its short life of only eight years and was lost in the real world of intrigue and debauchery.
——Until now, Cheng Jinyan mentioned this name again.
The cold sweat on the secretary's back soaked through his clothes.
"BOSS... Who are you talking about Ruan Munan? Cheng Jinyu?" He asked repeatedly in disbelief.
Cheng Jinyan didn't answer, but the way he tightly grasped the information proved everything.
The secretary's scalp was numb. "I, I remember Cheng Jinyu was very dark when he was a child, but Ruan Munan is so white. How can they be the same person?!"
The secretary was looking at photos of Cheng Jinyu when he was a child.
Eight-year-old Cheng Jinyu inherited his grandfather Cheng Qi's wheat-colored skin. Coupled with the fact that the little boy loves to run around and is exposed to the sun every day, over the years, Cheng Jinyu has become a small piece of charcoal.
Eight-year-old Cheng Jinyu and twenty-eight-year-old Ruan Munan have no similarities in skin color.
This is also the reason why Cheng Jinyan did not recognize his cousin when he met Ruan Munan.
