After returning, Lu Wanwan immediately changed clothes and took a shower.
She still felt uncomfortable when she came out and saw Gu Annan already in home attire, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window.
His perfect silhouette cast a shadow on the floor against the sunlight, dazzling to look at.
She bit her lip, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
But thinking of his pants, she felt a bit relieved.
Eventually, she simply stopped looking at his dangerously charming appearance and the incomprehensible look in his eyes, and she directly lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
She didn’t know how long she had slept when she felt something moving on her face.
It was ticklish, and she was slightly annoyed, slapping it without opening her eyes.
"Ah!" She suddenly opened her eyes, realizing she had slapped herself.
Sitting up, she saw someone standing by the bed.
Gu Annan looked down at her from above and said indifferently, "Get up."
Lu Wanwan felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to get up initially.
Looking at his expression, she also didn’t know if he wanted to say something.
She lifted the covers and struggled out of bed.
Once in the living room, she saw Aunt Li coming out of the kitchen.
"Young Madam, you’re awake. Have this bowl of soup first."
Lu Wanwan glanced at Gu Annan’s back. Did he call her to wake up just for this?
Before she could speak, she saw the man, who had changed into fresh clothes, opening the front door.
"Thank you, Aunt Li. I appreciate you making the trip."
"Young Madam, there’s no need for such words," Aunt Li said, placing the freshly prepared medicinal soup on the dining table. "It’s my duty."
In the office, Zhao Chen and Mu Xing stood in front of Gu Annan, their hearts pounding with fear.
Gu Annan had looked through all the materials.
Zhao Chen saw Mu Xing with his head lowered and took the initiative to say, "We’ve only found this much so far."
Gu Annan set down the materials, his cold gaze lifting towards them, "How many days has it been?"
Neither of them spoke.
"Manchester has so many resources at your disposal. After all these days, you still can’t identify the person!" he reprimanded sharply. "A severely injured person who can hardly move is taking up so much of your time."
"Zhao Chen." His voice was indifferent as he stood up from his seat, "You’ve been with me for years. You should know I particularly dislike it when my subordinates keep things from me. What’s your explanation for this?"
Zhao Chen composed himself, "Mr. Gu, I still feel there are some unexplained aspects of this matter. Lately, the company has had many backlogs, and I don’t think it’s a wise choice to distract you with unresolved matters. Regarding the severely injured person whose details we can’t find—I initially thought he was just an ordinary person, but no ordinary person has the capability to hide so well. Nonetheless, this is Manchester; he can’t hide for long."
"Did anyone from Song Clinic say anything?" Gu Annan raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Chen shook his head, "You should know, Mr. Gu. Song Clinic has a confidentiality clause for all patients; if they’re not supposed to talk, they won’t say anything. I tried using your influence, but Miss Song Ning was very firm in her stance."
Gu Annan clenched his fist, resting it on the edge of the table.
The connections between Song Ning and the Bai Family, Bai Lingyun’s appearance, as well as Lu Wanwan’s concealment.
"I know who it is," he said after a moment.
"Mr. Gu? You know?" Zhao Chen and Mu Xing were shocked.
"You don’t need to worry about who it is. Find out why he was injured and make sure no one notices."
When Mrs. Ye passed away, Bai Lingyun had personally visited, and he had also heard about the matters between Mrs. Bai and the Ye Family from Lu Wanwan.
The only person Song Ning would be under such pressure to hide was someone who had been declared missing years ago.
