After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Chapter 726 Meeting Secretary Cheng

After Shen Lan heard what she said, she felt as if something had pierced her heart. The pain made her bend over and arch her back, unable to breathe.

How could this happen, why did it happen? !

Why would such a good girl have such an experience?

Shi Wei...

There was a strong hatred in her eyes, and she wished she could cut this despicable villain into pieces!

"Where did you hear this news?"

Jin Yu's heart was in a knot, but when she heard Shen Lan's tone calm down, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My dad and I were at a drinking party. When we came out for some fresh air, we heard Zhou Xinran and Shi Wei talking."

The last time Shen Lan heard from Zhou Xinran was when she had a miscarriage.

"I heard that Zhou Xinran was left infertile for life after her miscarriage. The Zhou family was suppressed by the Lu family, and it seems that the Chu, Xiao, and Liang families were all involved." Jin Yu said, lowering his voice, "My family also took the opportunity to snatch some of the Zhou family's business."

"The Zhou family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Zhou Xinran has been attending various drinking parties these days in an attempt to save the situation. However, several major families in J City have already taken action, and no one dares to take the risk to help her."

"I heard her using this to threaten Shi Wei, trying to force Shi Wei to persuade his family to cooperate with the Zhou family."

Shen Lan frowned when he heard this: "You mean, Zhou Xinran was also present when Cheng Wan was murdered?"

"Yes, she saw Cheng Wan being dragged away with her own eyes, and she didn't say anything when questioned by the Cheng family afterwards. I think she did it on purpose."

Shen Lan's eyes were red at this moment, and he was filled with hatred.

No wonder Shi Wei helped Zhou Xinran after she was drugged in the coffee shop and didn't tell Zhou Xinran about it afterwards.

So that’s it!

"Did you record their conversation?"

Jin Yu said proudly, "Of course I did. I recorded the video directly. It can be used as evidence."

When she saw the two people sneaking out, she turned on the video on her mobile phone, but she didn't expect to hear such a shocking secret.

"Send me the video." Shen Lan said as he got up and got dressed.

Xiao Yun has not returned from working overtime tonight. Yang Yan is worried about her going out alone, so he arranges for Li Hui to go with her.

Shen Lan did not refuse, and the two drove to Cheng's house.

When Cheng Wan was ill at school, she came to see her with gifts. After Cheng Wan disappeared, Shen Lan also visited her several times.

She never came back after she restored her appearance. She was not sure whether the Cheng family still remembered her.

Shen Lan and Li Hui had just gotten off the car when they happened to meet Secretary Cheng coming back from get off work.

Secretary Cheng used to be a refined gentleman with a graceful smile, but he has aged significantly in recent years. Half of his hair has turned white, his face has many wrinkles, and he looks weathered. But his back remains as straight as ever.

Secretary Cheng stared at the two of them in surprise for a moment, squinting his eyes as he looked at Shen Lan. After a long moment, he smiled gently, "It's Xiao Lan. It's been a long time since we last met."

Shen Lan looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he could recognize her.

Secretary Cheng saw what she was thinking and smiled. "I've seen your photo on trending searches and thought it was someone with the same name as you, but I didn't expect it to be you. Wan'er said before that you have good bone structure and are very beautiful. She's really good at judging people."

Shen Lan's eyes warmed when he heard this.

When she was called ugly, Cheng Wan said she was very beautiful.

Secretary Cheng smiled and invited her into the house, asking her what brought her so suddenly to his house.

Shen Lan wiped his eyes and handed over the phone: "Uncle Cheng, I know the whereabouts of my senior sister."

Secretary Cheng paused and looked at her suddenly: "Wan'er, have you found Wan'er?"

Shen Lan pursed her lips, unable to speak.

When Secretary Cheng saw her expression, he guessed something and his eyes suddenly turned red.

He took the phone tremblingly, and instead of watching the video immediately, he sat on the sofa before pressing the play button.

The sound of Zhou Xinran and Shi Wei arguing could be heard from inside.

The two of them talked back and forth until they told the truth about the crime.

Secretary Cheng watched the whole process and couldn't control his tears, which kept flowing down.

After reading it, he looked up at Shen Lan and wanted to say something, but the first thing he did was sob.

Secretary Cheng didn't want to cry in front of the child, but he couldn't help it. The daughter he had raised like a treasure had been murdered, and he couldn't control it.

Shen Lan looked at Secretary Cheng crying inconsolably, her eyes turning red. She was at a loss and didn't know what to say. She could only stand there stupidly and let Secretary Cheng vent his grief.

It was unknown how long it took before Secretary Cheng calmed down and smiled at Shen Lan, but the smile was a little forced.

"Sorry, I'm rude."

Shen Lan shook her head. She understood Secretary Cheng very well. She had been holding on to hope, but now that hope was shattered, the pain was unbearable.

She looked around and noticed that only Secretary Cheng was left at the Cheng family. Previously, there was a whole family bustling about, but now there was only one person left.

As if he could see what he was thinking, Secretary Cheng explained, "Wan'er's grandparents passed away a few years ago, and her mother fell ill and returned to her hometown to recuperate."

In the years since Wan'er's disappearance, her family has searched far and wide, even to the point where her grandparents were still talking about finding their granddaughter before their death. Her mother, yearning for her daughter, has become depressed, sometimes bursting into tears just looking at the flowers and plants outside.

He has been sticking to his job and climbing up the ladder over the years, and his biggest obsession is to find his daughter.

But now, the sudden bad news caught him off guard and all his hopes were shattered.

Secretary Cheng's eyes began to feel sore again.

He held back his tears, supported himself on the sofa and stood up, then bowed solemnly to Shen Lan to express his gratitude.

Shen Lan quickly dodged: "Secretary Cheng, this is not possible. Please don't do this."

She spoke incoherently about how Cheng Wan helped her and treated her well when they were in school.

Secretary Cheng's eyes became even more tearful after hearing this: "You are a good child. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. As long as I can help, I will do my best to help you."
