“It’s me,” Wen Jin replied in a deep voice.

Xu Xiaoche raised an eyebrow upon hearing Wen Jin’s voice. “Are you waiting for my call?” he quipped.

Wen Jin eased off the car’s speed and remained composed. “Have you found anything?” he inquired.

He seemed to completely disregard Xu Xiaoche’s remarks, which amused Xu Xiaoche. It was as if Wen Jin believed Xu Xioache owed him millions of dollars because of his arrogant demeanor.

However, Xu Xiaoche didn’t engage in an argument. Instead, he swiftly responded, “Yes, I’ve found something. It took quite some effort, but it’s no surprise that this buyer has remained hidden for so many years. The Angel’s Tear has become extinct in the industry.”

Wen Jin continued to listen in silence.

“It was bought by the Lu family in the capital.” Xu Xiaoche quickly added, “Back then, Madam Lu, Xu Wan, was already pregnant with her youngest daughter. The Lu family treated this youngest daughter as a precious gem and had high expectations for her. Therefore, they spent a significant amount to purchase the Angel’s Tear as a gift for the newborn.”

Wen Jin remained silent.

“But you must have heard about the Lu family’s situation. The moment their youngest daughter was born, she disappeared, kidnapped from the hospital. The subsequent events aren’t the focus here. What’s crucial is that when the Lu family’s daughter was born, Angel’s Tear was already inside her bag. As a result, when the Lu family’s daughter had trouble, Angel’s Tear was also affected.

Xu Xiaoche connected the dots.

The disappearance of the Lu family’s youngest daughter had been a major news story at the time, but it was swiftly suppressed by the Lu family. The discovery of the Angel’s Tear was accidental, and no one knew it had been bought by the Lu family back then. So, when Xu Xiaoche learned this news, he was also shocked.

“Have you considered something?” Xu Xiaoche asked after a brief pause, turning the conversation to Wen Jin.

Wen Jin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His Adam’s apple moved subtly before he responded calmly, “Are you suggesting that you suspect Yu Anwan is connected to the Lu family?” “Have you ever seen a young Madam Lu?” Xu Xiaoche raised an eyebrow.

“No,” Wen Jin replied flatly.

Back in those days, the internet wasn’t as developed as it is now. The Lu family was a powerful force in the capital, and Xu Wan’s husband held a prominent position. As a result, Xu Wan had always maintained a low profile. She had never made public appearances in the media, not even at the Lu family’s banquets, to avoid causing trouble for the Lu family or her husband. Hence, very few people had seen Xu Wan. Moreover, Wen Jin and Xu Xiaoche were from a different generation than Xu Wan, so they had never had the opportunity to meet her.

“I’ll send you a picture,” Xu Xiaoche said promptly.

Wen Jin made a noise of agreement and opened his phone’s screen. Xu Xiaoche had already sent the photo. When Wen Jin saw the picture, he was momentarily stunned. For a long while, he remained silent, unable to find his words.

“Is she identical to your ex-wife?” Xu Xiaoche pointed out. “Over the years, Xu Wan has appeared in the media, but she’s changed. She looks completely different from her youth.”

After losing her daughter, Xu Wan never fully recovered. For a long period, she had relied on medication to cope. The prolonged use of medication had transformed Xu Wan’s appearance, erasing any trace of her former self.

“I had to put in some effort to find this photo. I nearly got caught in the Lu family’s security system,” Xu Xiaoche grumbled.

Wen Jin still didn’t say anything, as if he hadn’t fully processed the information.

“Madam Lu likely saw your ex-wife at some point. Otherwise, the Lu family wouldn’t have conducted a paternity test.”

“A paternity test between Yu Anwan and the Lu family?” Wen Jin’s voice finally emerged.

“Yes,” Xu Xiaoche confirmed. “The matter has been kept very discreet, so progress has been slow.”

Wen Jin remained pensive for a moment before stating, “Find a way to halt it.”

“Tsk, tsk…” Xu Xiaoche couldn’t help but tease Wen Jin. “President Wen, your words are making waves among everyone.”

“After it’s done, I’ll give you the land in the north of the city to build the Xu family’s jewelry base,” Wen Jin stated generously.

These words elicited a tongue-clicking sound from Xu Xiaoche. “Wen Jin, you’re going all-in,” he remarked.

Xu Xiaoche was well aware of the substantial profits that could be reaped from the land in the north of Jiang City. It was a coveted piece of real estate in the eyes of many. However, this land had always been firmly held by the Wen family, and no one else could lay claim to it.

Yet, Wen Jin was now willing to easily relinquish this prime piece of property because of this matter.

Xu Xiaoche couldn’t help but express his curiosity with a smirk. “Wen Jin, why do I have a feeling that you haven’t completely let go of Yu Anwan?”

Wen Jin chuckled in response. His demeanor was somewhat distant, but he didn’t directly address Xu Xiaoche’s question.

Given their many years of friendship, Xu Xiaoche could more or less discern Wen Jin’s emotions.

It wasn’t so clear-cut. Back then, Wen Jin had treated Yu Anwan with disdain, never acknowledging her, and they hadn’t even had a proper wedding. He had simply left her in the Wen family’s clutches to fend for herself against the vultures.

However, Xu Xiaoche had been present when Wen Jin and Yu Anwan registered their marriage.

Therefore, he had seen Yu Anwan. Perhaps she wasn’t as radiant as she was now, but her innate beauty was unmistakable.

Her petite face, large eyes, two dimples, and, most importantly, her doll-like face, were all captivating.

Otherwise, Wen Jin wouldn’t have kept sleeping with her, time and time again.

As a result, Xu Xiaoche had always felt that Wen Jin’s feelings toward Yu Anwan weren’t as simple as they appeared.

However, if Wen Jin refused to admit it, Xu Xiaoche wouldn’t press him to acknowledge it.

But Xu Xiaoche quickly changed the subject and posed a direct question, “What if, and I emphasize ‘if’, Yu Anwan is indeed the Lu family’s youngest daughter?” Wen Jin didn’t respond.

However, Wen Jin was acutely aware that he coveted the resources held by the Lu family. Aside from the Lu family, no one else had access to those patents.

It wasn’t that Wen Jin couldn’t achieve it, but it would require an immense amount of time. To someone like Wen Jin, for whom time equated to money, it was an utterly unfeasible option.

Therefore, if Yu Anwan truly turned out to be the Lu family’s daughter, all they needed was for her to return to Wen Jin’s side, and with only one child between them, many things would fall into place seamlessly.

He had never contemplated remarrying Yu Anwan. Even now, everything was just a game between adults.

Wen Jin wouldn’t backtrack on his decision, and he certainly wouldn’t return to a woman who had betrayed him.

However, Wen Jin couldn’t ignore the clamor within his own heart.

In the end, Wen Jin remained silent.

Xu Xiaoche deduced from Wen Jin’s demeanor, “What if Nanxin finds out about this? Don’t forget, Nanxin is also a member of the Lu family.”

“Keep it a secret,” Wen Jin replied coolly..
