Two months after Fu Zhixing did not come to the alley to fulfill her promise, Min Yunwen initially thought she had simply forgotten him. In his teen years, Min Yunwen harbored a sense of pride and was unwilling to be stood up just like that.
Using the excuse of still not having returned the money for the camera, Min Yunwen spent all his spare time after classes trying to gather information about Fu Zhixing.
Back then, Fu Zhixing was quite famous, and as long as one put in a bit of effort, it was easy to find out her identity as a journalist.
Min Yunwen had visited the TV station and asked Fu Zhixing’s colleagues. Being young at that time and calling Fu Zhixing "sister," the colleagues at the TV station didn’t hide too much and told him many stories about her.
It was also in those conversations that Min Yunwen learned that the work Fu Zhixing did was dangerous.
She hadn’t come back in two months, and her colleagues couldn’t possibly be completely in the dark.
That sister had a good relationship with Fu Zhixing, so she knew that Fu Zhixing had gone to a small town for undercover observation, but she didn’t know anything else.
She didn’t know the target, the location, or how long Fu Zhixing would be gone.
And with Fu Zhixing’s temperament, being gone for several months was not out of the ordinary.
However, Min Yunwen shrewdly sensed something fishy; if they had a good relationship, it was impossible not to receive any signal for two months. It’s just that at the time, Min Yunwen did not have the ability to do something even the Fu Family couldn’t manage.
All he could do was remember to take a photograph every week, keep it, and wait for Fu Zhixing to come back and see it.
In university, he had long been able to repay the money for the camera, but he had maintained the habit of taking a photograph every week.
Later, information about Fu Zhixing could no longer be found online.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Min Yunwen.
Why couldn’t it be found?
How could a living person, such a sharp and famous journalist, suddenly become unsearchable?
During that period, Min Yunwen visited many places just to investigate this matter.
He even found Fu Zhixing’s college roommate.
That’s when he learned that Fu Zhixing was the young lady of the very esteemed Fu Family in S city.
After learning this news, Min Yunwen felt a mix of emotions.
Relieved because she was the young lady of the Fu Family, the likelihood of an accident was very small; with such a powerful family, she would definitely be safe.
But what was lost again was the vast difference between them; the little thoughts hidden deep in his heart that hadn’t had the chance to sprout and grow would have to be suppressed.
It was unfortunate that at that time, Min Yunwen thought the Fu Family would be a guarantee, thinking that Fu Zhixing was still fine, not knowing that even the Fu Family couldn’t find her.
It was only two years ago that he happened upon the person from the TV station who had a good relationship with Fu Zhixing, and from her, he learned that Fu Zhixing hadn’t just resigned from the TV station—it was something that had happened.
She didn’t know the specifics, but she told Min Yunwen to go find Lu Ming.
Because Lu Ming was the only person who might know where Fu Zhixing had really gone.
As for the TV station director at that time, he was already a black-hearted person.
Min Yunwen went to find Lu Ming and straightforwardly stated his purpose. At first, Lu Ming was not willing to discuss Fu Zhixing’s matter with him, until Min Yunwen said a phrase:
"No matter what has happened, I want a truth. If she has suffered misfortune, I want to vindicate her."
This was Fu Zhixing’s professional creed.
