After sending An An back, Mu Yan made an excuse about needing to return the car quickly, hoping Chu Qingqing would tell him about Zhou Wenwen and let him leave. Unfortunately, Chu Qingqing only agreed to take him to a place tomorrow but refused to explain the matter, leaving Mu Yan feeling helpless. Instead, she interrogated him and An An for a while.
Fortunately, before sending An An back, Mu Yan and she had agreed on a consistent story, deciding not to reveal what happened tonight, otherwise, who knows what tricks Chu Qingqing might play.
After escaping from Chu Qingqing's gossip attack, Mu Yan drove to Yulin Garden.
Chen Jiahui had a villa here, and he had been living there since coming to Donghai.
Yulin Garden had two areas, East Yulin and West Yulin. Chen Jiahui's villa was in West Yulin, while Yu Jing's home was in East Yulin.
He rang the doorbell, and a woman in her forties opened the door. She was likely Chen Jiahui's hired maid. Perhaps because she had been briefed beforehand, she let Mu Yan in as soon as he arrived.
As Mu Yan entered the living room, he saw a girl in her early twenties applying a face mask to Chen Jiahui. The two slaps he had given himself earlier were quite heavy, and applying the mask now might help it completely heal by tomorrow.
Mu Yan's gaze swept over the girl, who was very beautiful and familiar, seemingly the lead actress in a recent popular TV drama.
"This is Yan Ni, Brother Yan, you should know her, right?" Chen Jiahui said, patting Yan Ni's pert buttocks.
"Yeah, my mom has been watching the TV drama she's in when she has nothing to do at home!" Mu Yan said.
"Aunt Fang is quite relaxed. My mom is so busy she doesn't even have time to drink water. The last time I brought Yan Ni to meet her, she didn't recognize her at all. At first, she quite liked Yan Ni, but when she found out Yan Ni was a celebrity, she scolded me! I told her Yan Ni has never been with anyone else before me, but she still doesn't like it. In her eyes, celebrities are just actors, not suitable for the family!" Chen Jiahui said innocently.
Mu Yan looked at Yan Ni for a moment and saw her obediently making him a cup of tea. He asked, "Are you planning to marry her?"
Chen Jiahui shook his head and said, "My marriage is already arranged. A little princess from the Mi family. I heard she's not very pretty and has a bad temper. Her side has said I need to clear out all the women around me in the next two years. She's still in university in the capital, and we'll get married after she graduates. She doesn't want to see any other women around me when we get married. You know, someone from a big family is actually picky about this. Isn't she crazy? Sometimes I really think you did the right thing by not recognizing your father. Look how free you are!"
"Seeing you pour out your troubles to me, do you need me to help with something?" Mu Yan asked.
"I really like Yan Ni. I know she's sincere and not like other women. I can't bear to let her go. So, Brother Yan, if anything happens, you have to stand by me!" Chen Jiahui said.
"You, always with these things. Is there anyone else besides Yan Ni?" Mu Yan asked.
"No, do you think I'm that stupid? I can tell the difference between those who are after my status and money and those who genuinely love me. I just play around a bit," Chen Jiahui said.
Mu Yan smiled and didn't say anything more. He then asked, "What are you doing in Donghai now?"
"I've set up a film company here called Red Light Films. We're shooting a movie set in old Donghai, and Yan Ni is the lead actress!" Chen Jiahui said.
"You're shooting a movie here, so you must have some connections with the local powers?" Mu Yan asked.
"Of course. Even if I don't know them, they would still give the old Lin family some face!" Chen Jiahui said, patting his chest.
"I have something to do. I was planning to find that Director Zhang you met at the banquet, but he's helping me with something else now. If you know people, can you help me?" Mu Yan said.
"What is it?" Chen Jiahui asked.
"It's about An An!" Mu Yan said.
"Ah, it's about my little sister-in-law! Alright! I'll do my best. Consider it my apology for today!" Chen Jiahui said with a smile.
"I told you, An An and I are not like that!" Mu Yan said.
Chen Jiahui grinned and said, "Come on, Brother Yan. If you didn't like her, would you be so concerned about her? I noticed that when you said An An wasn't my sister-in-law, that little girl was quite disappointed."
"Stop talking nonsense. I haven't even spoken to her much before today. Don't make things up!" Mu Yan shook his head.
"Brother Yan, I'm not making things up. Today, even if there was nothing between you and her, after I scared her and you saved her, it's natural for her to develop feelings for you. She clearly has a thing for you. Such a fresh and tender little cabbage, don't you feel a bit attracted?" Chen Jiahui asked.
After Chen Jiahui's explanation, Mu Yan did feel there was a possibility. It's normal for a girl to develop feelings or even dependence after being helped in a desperate situation. However, he just felt sorry for her and wanted to make up for past regrets through her, not thinking of accepting her. He needed to wake her up before she got too deep.
"Alright, stop talking. Let's get to the point. I need you to help me find someone, An An's father, An Leisheng," Mu Yan said.
"What? An An's father is missing?" Chen Jiahui asked curiously.
Mu Yan then told Chen Jiahui everything he had learned from An An.
After listening, Chen Jiahui exclaimed, "An An's mother is sick! Why couldn't she just live a good life with her husband? She had to secretly take all the company's money and run off with someone. What a terrible woman! Brother Yan, don't worry, I'll handle this. I know a few big shots in Donghai. I'll get them to stop chasing the debt and find the man, then catch that woman and the fake foreigner."
"How you handle it is up to you, but don't get yourself into trouble, okay?" Mu Yan reminded him.
"Brother Yan, I, Chen Jiahui, only get slow-witted when it comes to women. Otherwise, I'm not that stupid!" Chen Jiahui said.
"Knowing your weakness is good. It's almost midnight, I need to go. Don't tell anyone at home about this. I just want to live a simple life! If there's a chance, I'll introduce you to my real sister-in-law!" Mu Yan said as he was leaving.
"Don't keep me waiting too long. I'm really looking forward to meeting your real sister-in-law!" Chen Jiahui said with a chuckle.
Mu Yan ignored Chen Jiahui's teasing and drove directly to East Yulin. As agreed, he parked the car near Yu Jing's villa and called her.
But just as he was about to call, Mu Yan suddenly saw a dark figure moving inside Yu Jing's villa.
