Female Novel
Chapter 349 The Fang Family in Chengdu
“Yufei, you really have vast connections! Thank you so much!”
Hu Huimin said excitedly.
“You don’t need to thank me. It is I who should be grateful toward you. Originally, I planned to treat you
and your friends to a meal, but I have to rush back to the company now. How about I leave my contact
number with you? You can reach me using this number in the future for anything at all!”
Of course, Yang Yufei appreciated Hu Huimin’s gesture earlier.
Moreover, she was her true fan, so she felt obligated to express her concern.
After giving them her contact number, Yang Yufei left the place.
“Huimin, I am so envious of you to be able to interact so closely with your idol!” said Wang Wen.
“It’s nothing. Ahem, enough of this. Let’s go, otherwise it would be awkward if we happen to bump into
that bunch of people again!”
Although Hu Huimin appeared calm on the outside, she was actually thrilled deep down.
As they had not much interest in continuing the trip, they were ready to leave the place.
Just then, Hu Huimin turned around and looked at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao said, “All of you can leave first. I will stay here for the time being.”
Chen Hao assumed Hu Huimin was signaling him to leave.
“Hehe, why are you assuming that I’m asking you to leave? I’m just thinking about the change in your
personality. Back then, you were quite a decent guy with good results despite being rather mediocre.
However, you have such a questionable character now. You stick to us when there’s benefits and avoid
us once there’s potential harm. You’re outright despicable!” criticized Hu Huimin rudely.
Wang Wen said, “Don’t be too harsh on him, Huimin. We were all very terrified just now.”
“Exactly, we were all worried just now. However, I noticed that he was walking at a rather brisk pace
when he was following us in here earlier. But when we were in trouble, he hid himself and tried to avoid
getting involved. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Isn’t it infuriating?!” Hu Huimin spat angrily.
Chen Hao was not trying to sneak off. Instead, he went away to send a WeChat message to Li
Zhenguo.
Obviously, Hu Huimin got the wrong idea.
Chen Hao decided to keep mum instead and let her be.
“Let’s go and have a meal. Enough of talking already, Huimin.”
Wang Jian spoke up at the moment.
Thereafter, Liang Meng hauled Wang Wen away too.
Sigh. Chen Hao put on a bitter smile.
He checked his phone. Damn, he had done them a favor for them and got nothing in return but Hu
Huimin’s reproachful words.
At the moment, he was rather occupied by Su Ziyue’s matter.
Therefore, he did not take Hu Huimin’s words to heart.
He immediately ascended the mountain.
As he was about to enter the villa, an elderly man was walking out at the same time.
“Young Master Chen!”
The surname of this elderly man was Wu. He was a renowned collector of antiques and calligraphy art
from the Southwest region.
At the sight of Chen Hao, the elderly man greeted him with a smile.
“Good afternoon, Master Wu. Do you have an idea about the origins of the jade bracelet?” asked Chen
Hao.
Master Wu nodded his head before saying, “Yes, I do. I might have seen a jade bracelet of this kind
before, but I was not too sure about that. After some thorough checking, I can confirm that this jade
bracelet belongs exclusively to the Fang Family in Chengdu. Therefore, I suppose the owner of this
jade bracelet is Fang Mengxin, the eldest grandson of the Fang Family.”
“The Fang Family in Chengdu?” Chen Hao nodded his head before adding, “I have done some
research on every renowned family in Chengdu, but I’ve not come across a Fang Family.”
“Hehe, of course you found nothing, Young Master Chen. The Fang Family had been laying low for
decades already and no trace of the family could be found. Back then, the Fang Family used to be a
very prominent family in Chengdu and even the whole of China. However, they vanished into thin air
over night! There are no updates available on the family and gradually, no one talks about them
anymore.”
“Ah?”
Both Chen Hao and Su Ziyue were slightly disappointed.
Zhu Ming furrowed his brows and said, “Such an impressive family went unheard of in such a brief
period of time. I am sure something happened to them. Is it possible that the entire family went
bankrupt and had nothing left?”
“I don’t think so. If they were bankrupt, they wouldn’t have the ability to stop the media from reporting
news about them.”novelbin
Chen Hao shook his head.
Master Wu nodded his head and laughed. “Young Master Chen is right. All of us from the previous
generations believe that the Fang Family did not go bankrupt. On the contrary, we suspect that the
family is still going strong and they are still in Chengdu! Some people reckon that most of the
businesses owned by renowned families in Chengdu are subsidiaries of the Fang Family. However,
nothing fruitful came out from various investigations done on the family.”
“That’s strange. Why do the Fang Family need to lay low despite still going strong financially?
Combining all the clues gathered previously, some of the members of the Fang Family are still active.
From the previous investigation carried out by Li Zhenguo, Mr. Wei had come across a very brilliant
young man wearing this kind of jade bracelet in Liang City.”
Chen Hao thought of the girl he had come across at the resort. She came from a very prestigious
family, and she looked similar to Su Ziyue.
Hiss… Could she be someone from the Fang Family?
Chen Hao had a feeling that he was very close to finding out the truth.
After thanking Master Wu, Chen Hao went back together with Su Ziyue.
Of course, he had instructed Zhu Ming to carry out an investigation on that girl.
All Chen Hao said was that he would like to know the recent updates on the Fang Family. He did not
tell Zhu Ming any other details of the matter.
“Grandson, how’s the investigation going? Why are you so late?”
Mr. Qin walked out and asked as soon as they were back to the villa specially arranged for them.
Chen Hao reckoned that Mr. Qin might have some clues about the Fang Family since he originated
from Chengdu and he was quite a capable and reputable man here.
“Oh right, Mr. Qin, do you know if there’s a Fang Family in Chengdu back then?”
Chen Hao asked while eating some fruits handed to him by Su Ziyue.
“What? The Fang Family? Are you looking for someone from the family?”
Mr. Qin widened his eyes in surprise.
“Yes, do you know something about the family? asked Chen Hao.
Su Ziyue handed some fruits over to Mr. Qin and said, “Mr. Qin, please tell us everything you know
about the family. This is very important to us!”
“Ah? I-I know nothing! I’ve never heard of such a family after being in Chengdu for so many years.”
Mr. Qin shook his head.
He looked puzzled.
Chen Hao and Su Ziyue exchanged a glance.
“Do you really have no idea?”
“I really have no idea!”
Mr. Qin took a bite out of the apple.
However, the investigation had not come to a dead end yet.
In Chen Hao’s opinion, that girl at the resort might be his most important lead now.
It would be great if he was able to find out that girl’s background.
However, after various means carried out by Zhu Ming, nothing could be found on that girl still.
Disheartened, Su Ziyue said, “Chen Hao, what should we do now?”
Su Ziyue was desperate to find out the person who abandoned her back then as well as their reason
for doing so.
As for Chen Hao, he would like to know about the relationship between that person and his father, and
ascertain whether Su Ziyue was his birth sister.
After a short pause, an idea flashed across his mind. “Don’t panic, Ziyue, we still have a chance!”
