Chapter 489: Starting Over Again (9)
As night fell, Sheng Jianan held a few thin sheets of paper in his hand, his eyes cold and piercing. Qiao Zi stood not far from him, and could clearly feel the chill emanating from her boss.
Qiao Zi shivered, opened her mouth feeling she ought to say something, but didn’t know what she could say.
Back then, they searched all over B City, and ultimately found that the last place she had appeared was the suburban cemetery, then there was no news of her anymore.
After that, there were no clues at all. But now, Sheng Jianan had Qiao Zi investigate "Su Anle," and they had much to show for it.
Su Anle graduated from the French High Translation Institute and now works at the translation institute, engaged in Chinese-French and French-English translation work.
She currently resides in Paris and has a two-year-old daughter.
There was information, but most of it was about how outstanding she was in her work, and colleagues and mentors praised her exceptional language talent.
As for how she changed from "Tang Yanqi" to "Su Anle," how she ended up in France, it all seemed like someone deliberately erased her traces, with no records at all.
Sheng Jianan put down the paper in his hand, and Qiao Zi suddenly thought of something, hurriedly speaking: "Also, CEO, according to your instructions, I also looked into Mr. Shen’s departure from B City. After attending the old gentleman’s funeral, Mr. Shen didn’t leave immediately but stayed in B City for a few days, then left B City by private jet."
Sheng Jianan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and it was unclear if he was listening to Qiao Zi’s words.
His fingers tapped on his knee repeatedly, and according to Qiao Zi’s understanding of him, this was Sheng Jianan calculating something.
But what was there to calculate now?
After a long while, Sheng Jianan suddenly spoke: "Daughter... two years old."
Qiao Zi was a little stunned, and then heard the man speak again: "Do you think, might this child be mine?"
Qiao Zi: "......!!!"
Flipping through Su Weiyi’s birth records, Qiao Zi also secretly calculated the time: Sheng Jianan had gone on a business trip to the United States back then, then returned for the funeral, there was more than a month in between, and considering the night before he left... if the timing was off, unless it was a late delivery, but for it to be so late... honestly, the likelihood was very small.
The most likely scenario was that she conceived the child after leaving B City for France.
Though unwilling to point it out, Qiao Zi couldn’t help but speak: "CEO, this... maybe... not possible... probably."
She rarely stammered like this, but at this moment, the words were truly hard to say smoothly.
Sheng Jianan suddenly stood up, went to the kitchen to pour a cup of milk and drank it, then went upstairs: "I’m going to rest. You have people watch them. If there’s even the slightest incident, I must know. Also, whether Shen Jiyan leaves or not is none of my concern, but she’s not allowed to leave. If she disappears from my sight again, you... understand."
With the last two words, Sheng Jianan turned to look at Qiao Zi, his eyes ice-cold, yet a hint of a smile played at the corner of his mouth, resembling the crows that are the standard in Western dark castles, making one shiver at the sight.
Qiao Zi immediately stood straight: "Yes, CEO."
Sheng Jianan returned to his room, leisurely took a shower, then lay on the bed. He needed to rest well, to maintain his best condition, compete with him for the woman?
Ha... ridiculous!
Judging from the woman’s instinctive reaction that day, he didn’t believe she had really been with another man. He was her first man, and her only one.
