Being watched by Jiang Ning like that, Fu Fangzhou seemed to know exactly what Jiang Ning was thinking and said solemnly, "I’ve had someone investigate what you’ve been up to since leaving the variety show..."
He wanted Jiang Ning’s help, not out of a whim, but as a decision made after careful thought.
From the information he obtained, although there was no direct evidence to show that the things Jiang Ning did were not initiated by her actively seeking out those criminals.
But these countless times of incredibly coincidental events without leaving evidence only further proved that Jiang Ning is quite capable.
This was also why Fu Fangzhou specially held this class reunion.
He wanted to meet Jiang Ning.
Fu Fangzhou thought that after hearing his words, Jiang Ning would be angry about him investigating her affairs, but unexpectedly Jiang Ning directly asked, "What do you need my help with?"
Her straightforwardness nearly caught Fu Fangzhou off guard.
He froze for a moment and said, "It’s inconvenient to talk here. Let’s go to another private room."
As he spoke, Fu Fangzhou paused and then turned his head to look at Qi Xingzhou, who had been paying attention to the movement here, and said amiably, "Young Master Qi, please join us too."
From the way he addressed him, it was clear he already understood Qi Xingzhou’s identity.
Jiang Ning was not too surprised by this.
Qi Xingzhou placed the cue stick aside and walked over silently.
The two followed Fu Fangzhou, took the elevator, and entered a separate, private room.
Fu Fangzhou closed the door and joked while looking at the composed Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou, "Why don’t you ask anything? Just follow along, aren’t you afraid I’m a bad guy?"
"Bad guy?" Jiang Ning immediately became interested upon hearing these words.
Not only her, but even Qi Xingzhou standing beside also turned his head swiftly, his gaze firmly locked onto Fu Fangzhou like a silent lion discovering its prey.
Fu Fangzhou originally just wanted to break the silence among the three, but seeing their reaction, he immediately squatted on his knees, "No no no, it was a joke! I’m not one of those criminals you caught before, nor have I ever done anything against humanity or crossed the legal line!"
"Oh." Jiang Ning responded, her tone indifferent yet carrying a trace of regret.
Fu Fangzhou twitched his ear, feeling as if he must have heard wrong.
Actually, as soon as entering the private room, Jiang Ning was already aware that these old classmates had behaved appropriately and had not committed any illegal or criminal acts as of now.
Otherwise, the System wouldn’t have remained silent without any sign of issuing tasks until now.
Jiang Ning sat on the sofa and spoke, "What do you want to discuss? Let me just say, I can’t guarantee I’ll agree to help you."
Fu Fangzhou only dared to talk here after bringing her and Qi Xingzhou into such a private room, which clearly showed what he was about to say was particularly important to him.
Jiang Ning gave him space to consider.
Fu Fangzhou nodded earnestly, "I understand."
The three sat on the sofa, and Fu Fangzhou dropped a bomb with his first sentence to Jiang Ning, "I’m not the biological son of the Fu Family. I want to seek your help to find my real family."
Jiang Ning’s eyebrows moved slightly as she looked at Fu Fangzhou, "Were you adopted by the Fu Family?"
"No." Fu Fangzhou categorically denied.
In his expectation, he thought Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou would look shocked by his statement just now.
After all, the Fu family’s assets are spread across the country; although they are not the richest nationwide, they are among the top groups domestically.
His current father even ranks in the top five on the national rich list.
If the media knew he was not the biological son, it would definitely become explosive news trending online the same day.
However, the expressions of the two across from him were surprisingly calm.
Yet, he had to admit that Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou’s composed reactions made Fu Fangzhou feel much more relaxed inside and begin to have the desire to confide.
"From the time I can remember, I’ve always lived in the Fu Family. Parents treated me well, and relatives cared for me a lot. Although parents were often busy with work and needed to travel, there were still a housekeeper and maids in the villa, and they treated me very well too. If not for having two brothers for comparison..."
Fu Fangzhou’s thoughts drifted far away, his years of growing up flashed as frame by frame pictures in his mind.
