When he saw the 103rd photo, he suddenly pointed at it and said, "Yes, that's the guy. The scar at the corner of his mouth is so distinctive and unique. I can't mistake him."
Upon seeing this, Zhan Beiyao immediately took out his phone and called Tan Ya: "The person has been confirmed. I'll give you half a day to bring him to me immediately."
…
Inside the Zhan family's old house.
Grandpa Zhan stayed in the study and didn't come out.
Seeing that Mr. Zhan had been inside for too long, the housekeeper couldn't help but knock on the door: "Mr. Zhan, are you still in there? Is everything okay?"
Unexpectedly, no one responded in the study.
The housekeeper suddenly became anxious, "Master Zhan, can you please say something?"
Still no response.
The housekeeper thought that something had happened to Mr. Zhan, so he didn't care about anything else and just opened the door and rushed in.
But what he never expected was that Mr. Zhan was standing in front of the window looking at the photo album, looking completely fine.
housekeeper:"???"
At the housekeeper's sudden intrusion, Mr. Zhan finally frowned and looked over: "What's the matter?"
The housekeeper smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Zhan, I called you from outside just now, but you didn't hear me, so I pushed the door open and came in."
"Is there something wrong?" Old Master Zhan seemed a little dissatisfied.
"Mr. Zhan," the butler said with a forced smile, "Dinner is ready. You can go downstairs and eat now."
Mr. Zhan said absentmindedly, "I understand. You can go down first."
The butler didn't dare to say anything more and quickly left the study.
Old Master Zhan continued to stare at a black and white photo of himself in military uniform in the album, muttering to himself, "All these years have passed, can't you still forget that incident? Are you determined to kill me completely, not even sparing my family?"
…
night.
Zhan family villa.
Qin Ya had already reached the old man named Zhang Tao and successfully sent him to the villa.
Inside the luxurious living room.
Zhang Tao, dressed simply, immediately became wary when he saw the unfamiliar Mr. Lu and Zhan Beiyao and Ran Xia. "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
Mr. Lu spoke first: "Mr. Zhang, do you still remember me?"
Zhang Tao stared at Mr. Lu in front of him for a long time, then shook his head: "Sorry, sir, I don't have much impression of you."
"Forty years ago, you were the general manager of the Shanghai Nightclub. We met in the nightclub," said Mr. Lu.
"Shanghai Nightclub?" Zhang Tao thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He immediately relaxed his guard and asked, "Who are you?"
"Forty years ago, a girl named Li Xinyu was molested in your nightclub. It was my friend and I who rescued Li Xinyu. I wonder if you still remember her?" Mr. Lu asked.
Zhang Tao thought about it, and suddenly realized: "I remember now, the soldier who rescued Li Xinyu with you was called Lucas, right?"
Mr. Lu nodded: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to still remember this."
Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Because Lucas's name sounded so foreign at the time, it left a deep impression on me."
"Do you still remember Li Xinyu?" Zhan Beiyao said in a low voice.
Zhang Tao looked at Zhan Beiyao and immediately showed a surprised expression: "You...you are Master Zhan?"
Zhan Beiyao nodded: "Yes, Grandpa Zhang, I am Zhan Beiyao. I am sorry to have asked you to come here. The reason we asked you to come here today is to learn from you about some of the things that happened to Li Xinyu back then."
"I'm particularly impressed by this little girl, Li Xinyu."
Zhang Tao seemed to be lost in memory: "She was very pretty and very popular in our nightclub. Many customers expressed their desire to pursue her, but she already had a husband, so those customers eventually let it go."
"Grandpa Zhang, do you mean that Li Xinyu was already married before entering your nightclub?" Ran Xia couldn't help but frowned when he heard that.
Zhang Tao nodded. "Yes, her husband came to pick her up from get off work every day, and they seemed to be in a very good relationship."
But at this point, he looked at Mr. Lu again: "But the strange thing is, after you and your foreign friend rescued Li Xinyu, her husband rarely appeared."
Zhan Beiyao asked, "Grandpa Zhang, do you know what her husband does for a living?"
Zhang Tao sighed, "Li Xinyu's husband seems to be a street thug. He doesn't work and just idles around every day. Apart from being handsome, he doesn't have any other advantages."
Ran Xia frowned: "So it has always been Li Xinyu who has been supporting her husband?"
Zhang Tao nodded: "That should be the case."
"Mr. Zhang, why didn't you tell us the truth earlier?" Mr. Lu finally couldn't help but ask, "That Li Xinyu told us she was single!"
"You didn't ask me." Zhang Tao smiled helplessly: "Besides, this is someone else's private matter, I can't say too much."
At this point, he seemed to remember something and added, "By the way, Li Xinyu and her husband have a son."
"She has a son?" Ran Xia was even more surprised.
How could such a smart person like Master be deceived by a woman for so long?
Zhang Tao nodded. "That's right. I remember when Li Xinyu first came to work at our nightclub, she would occasionally bring her child over, but later I heard that she left the child with her mother-in-law."
"What's her son's name?" Ran Xia asked.
Zhang Tao thought for a moment and said, "It seems his name is Wang Deming."
"Wang Deming?"
When Ran Xia heard the name, she frowned fiercely.
Four years ago, when she was in Class F of Jiangcheng Middle School, her homeroom teacher was Wang Deming. Could it be that Teacher Wang’s mother was Li Xinyu?
If this is true, then isn't this world too small?
"That's right!" Zhang Tao nodded. "Li Xinyu told me at the time that her son was very well-behaved and obedient. Come to think of it, I even bought her son some candy."
Next, Zhang Tao talked a lot about Li Xinyu.
But the closer he got to the truth, the more uneasy Ran Xia felt.
Finally, Zhan Beiyao said to Zhang Tao very politely, "Grandpa Zhang, thank you very much for telling us all this today, but we still have a favor to ask. I hope you can come and bear witness for us when the time comes."
Zhang Tao smiled and nodded: "No problem."
So, Zhan Beiyao immediately sent Qin Ya to send Zhang Tao back.
As for Mr. Lu, Zhan Beiyao sincerely invited him to stay the night here: "Grandpa Lu, why don't you stay at my place first? I believe that Grandpa and Lucas are very eager to see you."
