Feng An Yu tapped his fingers against his thigh as he looked at the documents in his hand.
A photo of a sunny boy stared back at him. His lips were curved into a lazy smile, and his eyes were bright. This boy gave Feng An Yu the impression that he was a carefree person. Someone who had no secrets from the world. However, Feng An Yu's investigation on Ning Wei said otherwise.
Not too long after Su Ming Yuan revealed the name of his rescuer, Feng An Yu had asked his assistant to investigate the young man further.
Ning Wei was raised in A City by his adoptive mother.
The young man became an orphan at a very young age. His origin was unknown. It was said that his adoptive mother found him on the roadside and decided to raise him.
The police attempted to locate his family but were unsuccessful. No one came forward to claim the child. The police suspected that Ning Wei might be kidnapped and sold somewhere. However, something happened along the way. Perhaps the kidnapper left Ning Wei by the roadside, or perhaps Ning Wei managed to run away but did not know how to get back home.
Ning Wei was too young. Back then, all he could remember was his name.. He did not know his parents' names or where they might live. With not so much information in hand and no one coming forward to claim him, the police could not do anything to help.
When Ning Wei entered the entertainment industry, he had hidden a lot of things from his childhood. His fans knew that he was an orphan and was raised by a single parent. They thought that his parents had died young, but no one knew that he had been kidnapped and separated from his family.
Feng An Yu continued to browse through the documents on his phone and stopped at the clip of Ning Wei singing.
Ning Wei's voice was soothing. Feng An Yu could hear Ning Wei telling him that he was safe and would be taken to the hospital. Or was that his imagination?
The car stopped on the roadside. Feng An Yu raised his head and frowned as he looked outside the window.
"Mr. Feng."
Feng An Yu retracted his gaze and found his assistant, Xiao Jin, looking at him.
"We have arrived." Xiao Jin announced.
"Hmm…." Feng An Yu nodded.
Xiao Jin continued to observe his boss. He wanted to ask if his boss planned to go out and look for his rescuer or stay in the car to observe the situation a little more. But seeing Feng An Yu's expression, Xiao Jin stayed silent. He could see that his boss was still contemplating meeting the young man.
After all, Feng An Yu was suspicious of his meeting with the young talent.
They met at the club where his boss was drugged with an aphrodisiac type drug. Ning Wei might have helped Feng An Yu out of a troublesome situation. But who knew if he had his own reason for helping him? It was said that Feng An Yu ran into Ning Wei as soon as he escaped the room. But what if Ning Wei's appearance might be part of someone else's plan?
Assistant Xiao Jin thought that there was a possibility that Ning Wei wanted to get close to someone with influence like Feng An Yu, to boost his career. It was said that those people who entered the entertainment industry were willing to do anything for money. They put aside their shame and dignity for money. Ning Wei might be the same.
The sound of the door opening snapped Xiao Jin out of his thoughts.
Assistant Xiao Jin could not hide his surprise when he saw his boss alighting from the vehicle. A few seconds ago, he thought that his boss was going to ask him to drive away without meeting that young man. Unexpectedly, his boss alighted from the vehicle.
"Mr. Feng?" Assistant Xiao Jin pursed his lips as he continued to observe the other man..
Feng An Yu paused briefly. "Wait here for a while. I'll go and take a look." Without waiting for his assistant to reply, Feng An Yu alighted from the vehicle. He walked further towards the building and stopped just before the entrance.
He stared at the apartment building for a long time. It was not known if he was planning to go in or not. After a while, he finally made his move.
Feng An Yu raised a hand to push the door leading to the lobby in front of him. However, someone else pushed the door from the inside before he could touch the handle.
The person seemed to be in a hurry to leave. In their haste, their bodies collided, making Feng An Yu's body shift slightly.
"Sorry." The person apologized.
Feng An Yu lowered his head to look at the person. His expression soured at the collision. A second later, the light in his eyes lit up the moment he saw the face of the other party..
It was the young man whom he had been looking for.
Ning Wei.
Their eyes met.
In that brief second, Feng An Yu noticed the change in the young man's eyes. He could tell that the young man recognized him as well.
Ning Wei could not hide her surprise when he saw Feng An Yu's face. Her heart raced. Ning Wei's instinct was telling her that the tall man had come to look for her. But Ning Wei quickly denied it the moment that thought came to her mind.
When she met this tall man at the club, she was wearing a mask to cover her face. When they dropped him off at the hospital, Fu Ming Shi had ensured that no one recognized him.
Too many thoughts came to her mind.
Ning Wei inhaled deeply to calm down before averting her eyes. She was planning to pretend as if she did not recognize Feng An Yu. She stepped aside and rushed out to leave.
However, after taking another step, someone tugged on her arm, forcing her to stop.
Ning Wei turned slowly to look at the hand holding her arms. She raised her head and looked at the man in puzzlement. "Sir?"
Feng An Yu narrowed his eyes.
He could see that Ning Wei had recognized him a few seconds ago. But now, this young man was pretending not to know him..
Ning Wei tried to struggle to get away from Feng An Yu, but the man was holding her arm tightly. "May I help you?" Ning Wei asked when Feng An Yu did not answer him for a long time. "I am actually in a hurry," Ning Wei said. She pointed a finger at the street. "If you had nothing to say, you should let me go. I have someplace to go. Otherwise, I will have to call the security."
Feng An Yu chuckled. His voice sounded deep and dangerous. "You recognized me," Feng An Yu pointed out as he leaned his body closer to Ning Wei's. "Then, why are you pretending as if you don't?"
