Shattered by Fate, Restored by Truth

Chapter 1160: Playing Dirty

"So, you mean Cheng Yao was also one of the children from the orphanage?"

Su Wanxin tried hard to recall, but no matter what, she couldn’t find even a trace of memory of knowing this person before.

"Cheng Yao still needs to be confirmed, but there’s one person I’m very sure about; she was sold not long after you left the orphanage."

Su Wanxin’s eyes darkened slightly as an image of a person surfaced in her mind.

"It’s just as you thought, that child was bought in the second month after you left."

The girl who shared the same birth date as Su Wanxin, came so close to escaping hell, yet ultimately fell short and couldn’t get out.

"Then..." Su Wanxin gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and struggled to calm her emotions. "Where is she now?"

"Dead." Unfortunately, things didn’t go as hoped, and Fu Shihan didn’t give her the answer she wanted. "She died many years ago."

Her heart suddenly felt like it was being harshly gripped, making it hard to breathe. Su Wanxin looked at Fu Shihan with sadness, trying to find the slightest indication of a lie on his face.

But she knew very well that he wasn’t the kind to joke about such things.

She was silent for a long time, then spoke again, "How did you find all this out?"

"It’s actually quite a coincidence."

Fu Shihan was not the type to meddle in idle matters. With an organization this vast, if there wasn’t a special reason, he, as a cunning businessman, would never confront them directly and bring trouble upon himself.

But since it concerned Su Wanxin, and since someone in that organization seemed to have taken an interest in his son, he couldn’t ignore it.

Since conventional methods couldn’t uncover much, he decided to use some dirty tactics. Sometimes choosing a dirty approach isn’t the best, but sometimes it is the most direct and effective.

Fu Shihan’s heart and hands were both dirty. As soon as he discovered the organization’s connection to Alex, that fat deadbeat, he immediately sent people to Alex’s side.

This group of heartless beasts, masquerading in human skin, would do anything, so there’s one thing they would never refuse, and that is money.

And coincidently, money was something Fu Shihan had in abundance.

He spent a lot of money, used various tricks, and employed a divide-and-conquer strategy. Finally, he successfully bribed someone who had been by Alex’s side for many years, someone who ran errands for Alex.

This person had worked for Alex for many years and knew many of Alex’s secrets.

Logically, Alex shouldn’t be stingy with someone like this. But the fact is, the Young Master of Vedis Royal Bank was indeed stingy to an extreme in some matters.

The money he gave his subordinates couldn’t be said to be little, but it certainly wasn’t much.

So, after experiencing Fu Shihan’s straightforward and brutal enticement, directly throwing money in his face, that person was tempted.

Fu Shihan initially just wanted a confession from him, but unexpectedly, he gained an unexpected reward. And this reward, he thought, was something Alex could never have anticipated.

The dog Alex kept had a list.

Perhaps he saw Alex’s true nature too clearly, so he went out of his way to prepare a life-saving backup plan for himself.

The list included clients who had close dealings with Alex, as well as information on some children Alex had bought and abused to death.

And Fu Shihan, it was on this list where he saw the photo and information of that girl.

"If back then, I chose her, would the one chosen by Alex have been you?"

Fu Shihan reached out to gently caress her cheek and asked her softly, as well as asking himself.
