"I found it." Yan Junting paused for a moment before speaking.
"It must have been three years ago, during the mission I took on at the largest jewelry store in Kyoto. A couple of habitual thieves stole a lot of jewelry and valuables in just six months. They committed their crimes in a wide range of locations, including banks and large department stores. Each theft involved a considerable amount of money. The police station tried their best but couldn't catch them, so they had to ask us to come and arrest them."
“We followed them for three months, and they escaped several times. They were very cunning and intelligent. It was as if they could predict what we would do every time, and even seemed to be provoking us. They refused to give up. The superiors were very dissatisfied and gave orders that we must catch these two people, alive or dead, and they must not escape.”
At this point, Yan Junting glanced at Li Yunjun.
Li Yunjun nodded, because he had been part of that mission as well.
At that time, Li Yunjun had not yet been promoted, and he would always go on missions with him.
Li Yunjun continued Yan Junting's words, "That time, we did indeed lay a trap to surround them. In the end, we caught the man on the rooftop. We asked him to turn himself in and confess, but he refused and jumped off the rooftop, dying on the spot."
"Later, while we were chasing his accomplices, the mall suddenly caught fire, and the woman escaped. We haven't been able to find her since, and we suspect that Jian Dan is the woman who escaped."
Thinking of this, Yun Duoduo's expression changed. She remembered the scars on Jian Dan's neck and face, and realized that it was probably them.
This surprised Yun Duoduo greatly. With her simple skills, did she really need to do all these things?
She was reborn; why would she take this risk when she could make money doing anything?
Seeing Yun Duoduo's expression, Yan Junting nodded, "That's right, you said Jian Dan had burn scars, that matches up."
"We suspected that the woman started the fire, but she must have been burned as well. So we sent people to search Kyoto. Strangely, we conducted a thorough search in Kyoto but couldn't find her. We didn't have any other clues, so we had to give up."
Although it's not yet certain whether Jian Dan is the woman who ran away, it's probably true.
Yan Junting shook his head and said, "If it's her, then it's not our responsibility. If it happened again, I would still do my best to catch her. It's our job."
That's right. If you break the law, you should be arrested. Yan Junting was a law enforcement officer at the time, and he did nothing wrong.
However, this only proves that Jian Dan really hates Yan Junting, and she believes that Yan Junting killed her husband.
Li Yunjun also thought of this. He shook his head helplessly, "It's obvious that Jian Dan is a very persistent person. She probably blames her husband's death on you because you were the leader at the time, so she's been trying to get close to the people around you."
Yun Duoduo nodded. "So, the reason I let her get close to me was because she knew my identity."
Yan Junting and Li Yunjun both nodded; it was obvious.
After understanding the whole story, the elderly people were extremely anxious.
Because the matter had escalated so much, there was a concern that Jian Dan might become ruthless and kill Lao San and Yan Honglan.
Having exhausted all other options, Song Qinglian asked Yan Junting with a sliver of hope, "In that case, if we go directly to her and talk things out, offer her compensation—we'll give her whatever amount she asks for—would she be willing to let the child go?"
"No," Yun Duoduo shook her head. "She's been scheming for so many years; it's impossible for us to persuade her with just a few words."
Yun Duoduo knew very well that with her simple skills, she wasn't afraid of not making money.
Her goal was to make Yan Junting suffer as much as she did.
Yun Duoduo even suspected that Jian Dan probably wanted to capture her back then, so as to achieve her revenge. Yan Junting killed the person she loved most, so she wanted to kill the person Yan Junting loved most in return.
However, Jian Dan could also see that she was not easy to deal with, so she gave up.
Then, they chose the simplest way: to take away Yan Junting's most beloved daughter.
As for Honglan, Yun Duoduo suspected that Honglan might have overheard something she shouldn't have when she went to see Wang Weicheng, which is why she was locked up.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have kidnapped Yan Honglan. She probably only wanted Wang Weicheng to date Yan Honglan because she wanted to know more about the Yan family.
Therefore, she would never give up her hatred for money.
Yan Junting thought the same thing, "If we delay a little longer, it would be best if we could find the child and Honglan."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent again; this seemed even more difficult to handle.
Li Yunfeng then remembered something else and asked, "What about Wang Weicheng? Was he an accomplice of Jian Dan and his wife back then?"
“It shouldn’t be,” Yan Junting shook his head. “I’ve investigated very thoroughly. Jian Dan only moved here three years ago, which means they must have known each other after Jian Dan was injured.”
"Then why would Wang Weicheng help her like this, even willing to help her commit crimes?" Li Yunfeng wondered. If it was simply to avenge her dead husband, then what was Wang Weicheng's motive?
After hearing this, Yun Duoduo said with certainty, "Wang Weicheng likes simplicity, and he's willing to do anything for her."
Yun Duoduo recalled the way Wang Weicheng and Jian Dan interacted that she had seen before.
It's quite obvious that Jian Dan has no feelings for Wang Weicheng; she only sees him as a business partner, or to put it bluntly, someone who can run errands for her. However, Wang Weicheng's eyes are full of love when he looks at Jian Dan, and he helps her with her affairs without any complaints.
Wang Weicheng likes simplicity, and he really, really likes it.
It's estimated that Wang Weicheng and Yan Honglan's relationship was arranged simply.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunfeng suddenly suggested, "If that's the case, I think we could start with Wang Weicheng. Doesn't he like Jian Dan? If we can make him realize that Jian Dan is just using him and doesn't like him, he might let go."
This suggestion caught everyone's attention.
Li Yunjun nodded in agreement, analyzing, "After all, kidnapping two people is a serious crime, and could very well mean a lifetime in prison."
Li Yunfeng nodded hurriedly, "Furthermore, Jian Dan did this to avenge her ex-husband, so why would Wang Weicheng do it?"
Yun Duoduo and Yan Junting exchanged a glance, both feeling that this might be a breakthrough.
Regardless, Yan Junting decided to give it a try. "I'll find an opportunity to talk to Wang Weicheng privately."
Yun Duoduo shook her head at Yan Junting, "Wow, besides Honglan, only Wang Weicheng and I have any real relationship here."
