In the office on the top floor, the golden sunlight spreads on the cold-toned floor. In front of the black desk with cold lines, Cheng Jinyan sits with his head bowed, slowly reading the documents in his hand with a pair of emotionless black eyes.
The office was extremely quiet, and a mischievous light shone on his shoulders and face, adding a softness to the man's cold and cold features.
Tuk tuk tuk.
There was a knock on the office door.
Cheng Jinyan said in a deep voice, "Please come in," and a secretary in an elite suit opened the door and walked in.
"Mr. Cheng, I found the license plate number you asked me to check last time."
Cheng Jinyan immediately raised his head.
A month ago, Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Qi met on a flight from Shanghai to the Imperial Capital. After landing at the Imperial Capital Airport, he encountered a black Cullinan on the way home.
The face flashing through the window of the black Cullinan is the person Cheng Jinyan has been thinking about for more than 20 years.
He immediately asked his secretary to investigate the license plate number of the Cullinan.
But the strange thing is that the license plate number is obviously very common, but it took a month of checking to find any clues.
Cheng Jinyan immediately asked his secretary to follow the clues and conduct an in-depth investigation, and finally found out the real owner of the car today.
"Who is it?" Cheng Jinyan's voice was calm, with no emotion audible.
The secretary pushed the found information in front of him, "The owner of the black Cullinan is the boss of Cloud Seven Group, Ruan Munan."
This survey result made Cheng Jinyan look a little surprised.
He pushed up his glasses, picked up the survey information and read through the lines at a glance, his handsome eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
The owner of the black Cullinan is indeed Ruan Munan.
The car was bought two months ago, and Ruan Munan paid the full price. However, the investigation results showed that he had never driven the car after buying it, and Yunqi Group had no records of the car's entry and exit.
When Cheng Jinyan saw the car on the airport road, the driver was not Ruan Munan, but... his deceased second uncle Cheng Bainian.
How could his second uncle drive Ruan Munan’s car?
What is the connection between the two of them?
Cheng Jinyan's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly. He stared at Ruan Munan's ID photo on the investigation materials. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was not right.
Because of Ruan Qi, Cheng Jinyan and Ruan Munan met several times. But each time they were just acquaintances, and they never paid too much attention to Ruan Munan.
But now, when he looked at Ruan Munan's ID photo, he felt that this face looked familiar.
Where have you seen it?
Cheng Jinyan has a very good memory. With an appearance of Ruan Munan's level, he would never forget it if he saw it. But in his memory of the past twenty years, he has definitely never seen Ruan Munan.
But why does it look familiar?
When he saw Ruan Qi for the first time, he felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
What secrets are hidden behind these brothers and sisters?
Cheng Jinyan thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He raised his hand and asked his secretary to come over.
"Look at Ruan Munan's photo. Have I seen him somewhere before?"
Cheng Jinyan's secretary has been following him since he reached adulthood at the age of eighteen. If Cheng Jinyan really met Ruan Munan, the secretary would probably remember it.
The secretary walked up to Cheng Jinyan, stared at Ruan Munan's ID photo for a while, and shook his head hesitantly.
"I don't remember that you have met Ruan Munan. Moreover, Cloud Seven's headquarters used to be in Country M. We have never cooperated with Cloud Seven, and it is impossible to meet Ruan Munan. It's just..."
Cheng Jinyan: "Just what?"
The secretary hesitated to speak.
He picked up the document and stared at Ruan Munan's photo from a different angle for a while, then hesitantly said: "BOSS, have you noticed that Ruan Munan looks a bit like the old man and his first wife?"
Cheng Jinyan's mind suddenly seemed to be flashed by a white light.
He straightened up suddenly: "Who do you think he looks like? My grandfather and Liu Qiuyu?"
"That's right." The secretary pointed to Ruan Munan's photo, "Ruan Munan is too fair. If his skin were two shades darker, then his facial features would be exactly the same as Mr. Cheng's. And Ruan Munan's mouth, and that
The original wife, the old lady, looks very much like her, both have thin upward smiling lips."
The more the secretary talked about it, the more he felt like it. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's so similar. Those who didn't know better thought he was the son of the old man and his first wife."
The secretary seemed to have said something behind him, but Cheng Jinyan could no longer hear clearly.
His brain was buzzing, and his brain nerves seemed to be struck by lightning, and white lights suddenly exploded.
Ruan Munan looks like Cheng Qi and Liu Qiuyu... He looks like Cheng Qi and Liu Qiuyu...
Cheng Jinyan seemed to have thought of something, and snatched the information from the secretary's hand, staring at Ruan Munan's ID photo with his dark eyes.
Gradually, Ruan Munan's handsome facial features gradually changed in his eyes, and finally slowly overlapped with the childish face of an eight-year-old boy.
"...Cheng Jinyu..."
When the secretary heard the name coming from Cheng Jinyan's mouth, his face changed slightly: "BOSS, who are you talking about?!"
Cheng Jinyan opened his mouth, and the hoarse voice was forced out of his throat, "Cheng Jinyu... He is Cheng Jinyu..."
The secretary's face suddenly turned pale.
The Cheng family is complicated and internal, and there are constant internal fights in the dragon's pond and tiger's den. Among them, there are four names that are taboo for everyone.
These four names are Cheng Qi’s first wife Liu Qiuyu, Liu Qiuyu’s sons and daughters-in-law Cheng Bainian and Lin Yan, and their son Cheng Jinyu.
Twenty years ago, the mistress Xu Qingya came to power, Liu Qiuyu jumped to his death from a building, Cheng Bainian died of illness due to longing for his mother, and Lin Yan died in love. Their eight-year-old son Cheng Jinyu is the only living person left in the same room as his original wife.
But this living person’s whereabouts are unknown after his parents and grandmother were ‘passed away’.
No one knows where eight-year-old Cheng Jinyu has gone. There are so many people in the huge Cheng family, but no one has asked where he is.
Everyone thought he was dead, just like Cheng Bainian and Lin Yan. It didn't matter how he died, he was dead anyway.
With the passage of time, the name Cheng Jinyu ended its short career of only eight years, and was lost in the real world of intrigue and deceit.
——Until now, Cheng Jinyan mentioned this name again.
The cold sweat on the secretary's back suddenly soaked through his clothes.
"BOSS... Who do you think Ruan Munan is? Cheng Jinyu?" He asked repeatedly in disbelief.
Cheng Jinyan didn't answer, but his hand holding the information tightly proved everything.
The secretary's scalp was numb, "I, I remember Cheng Jinyu was very dark when he was a child, but Ruan Munan is so fair, how could they be the same person?!"
The secretary looked at photos of Cheng Jinyu when she was a child.
Eight-year-old Cheng Jinyu's skin color is wheat-colored, which she inherited from her grandfather Cheng Qi. In addition, the little boy loves to run around and is exposed to the sun every day. Over the years, Cheng Jinyu has turned into a piece of black coal.
There is no similarity in skin color between eight-year-old Cheng Jinyu and 28-year-old Ruan Munan.
This is also the reason why Cheng Jinyan met Ruan Munan but did not recognize his cousin.
