An Xin glanced at the documents on the desk.
They were all about the matters concerning Wen Ang's group.
Seeing that An Jingsheng was talking about this, An Xin shook her head. "What happened to him wasn't my doing."
An Jingsheng looked at An Xin with a complicated expression and then said, "I obviously know it wasn't you who did it. I'm asking if you knew all along that he would have such a day."
An Xin shook her head again. "I didn't know. I only found out after it happened."
"Weren't you at the auction last night too? I heard Wen Ang was with you at the banquet before he got off the ship."
Hearing this, An Xin said helplessly, "Haven't the Police already looked into all of this? There's surveillance footage too. We were just chatting the whole time, and then he left the cruise ship."
"Then what is your relationship with that man? What exactly is going on between you two?"
An Xin understood what he meant and immediately explained, "Dad, we're just friends."
An Jingsheng clearly didn't believe her and looked at An Xin again. "Friends? Is that all there is between you?"
"Of course. He already... has a girlfriend."
Seeing a flash of bitterness on An Xin's face, An Jingsheng's brow furrowed involuntarily.
"You like him?? He's several years younger than you."
An Xin knew she couldn't hide her feelings from An Jingsheng, but she still refused to admit it. "I don't. He saved An Xin; I'm just grateful."
"Do you know what kind of person he is?"
Seeing An Jingsheng's stern face, An Xin couldn't help but ask, "I haven't investigated him. I only know he has considerable influence in Tyrande."
"You know about the matters in Tyrande too?"
An Xin patiently explained how Jiang Cheng had saved Anni, then added, "I didn't dare investigate the specifics for fear of being discovered. However, I'm fluent in Thai and understood their conversations. Anyone who can settle someone directly in Tyrande must have a local underworld background."
An Jingsheng nodded. "Heng Cheng's influence isn't just in Tyrande; it's massive across Southeast Asia. As a shareholder of Heng Cheng, Jiang Cheng is very close with Mario. Mario has even publicly announced that Jiang Cheng is like his own brother, and their bond is unbreakable."
An Jingsheng continued, "The key point isn't even that, but his background within the country. He's a very strange person. No matter how much I check, I only find a background in Chengdu—the son of a construction company owner. But there are so many suspicious points about him, and even his father."
"I've used a lot of connections, but I can't dig up the background behind those two. It's as if someone is cutting off all the links behind the scenes. This man is not simple."
An Xin's brow furrowed upon hearing this, and she said, "No matter how complex he is, it has nothing to do with An Sheng Group. Dad, don't investigate him anymore."
An Jingsheng understood what An Xin meant.
It was better not to take the initiative to approach such a complex and terrifying opponent.
He sighed with regret and said, "Wen Ang was exceptionally talented and his methods were decent. Although he was a bit impatient at times, with a few more years of experience, his ability would have been no less than mine. I originally thought very highly of him."
"Furthermore, his family background is a level below our An Sheng Group, so he wouldn't have been able to bully you after marriage. With him around, he could have helped you manage An Sheng Group. I showed them the prenuptial agreement and he agreed; that was the main reason I favored him. But now, for things to turn out like this, sigh..."
An Xin understood An Jingsheng's intentions.
In truth, An Jingsheng was a good father, which was why An Xin had never openly gone against him.
Her mother had been gone for many years, and instead of remarrying, he had focused entirely on raising her.
The reason he constantly arranged blind dates for An Xin was because he was afraid of what would happen once he grew old and passed away.
An Xin would be all alone in the world without any relatives to rely on, so he always wanted to find a man who could support her.
And it was precisely because An Xin understood An Jingsheng's painstaking care that she hadn't resisted and had obediently accepted the blind dates he arranged.
An Xin sighed helplessly. "Dad, look at this first..."
Taking the phone An Xin handed over, An Jingsheng clicked on the video to watch.
When he saw Wen Ang unbuckle his belt and pin that woman down, An Jingsheng's expression turned cold.
An Xin, on the other hand, said very calmly, "This is video from inside Wen Ang's yacht last night. Originally, this video was taken away by Wen Ang's father, but the person in charge secretly kept a copy."
After watching it, An Jingsheng was so angry that his temples throbbed. "This bastard is truly inhuman. He looked so refined and scholarly, but I didn't expect that behind the scenes... delete this video, don't let it dirty your eyes."
An Xin smiled and patted his back. "Dad, why get angry over someone like that? Let's just stay out of Wen Ang's business and act like we don't know anything."
An Jingsheng understood An Xin's words. "Even though Anni isn't your biological child, over all these years—aside from my initial opposition—I've come to treat her as my own granddaughter. But you have to understand, it's better to have your own child. Dad will find you someone even better..."
Hearing this, An Xin was once again reluctant. "Dad, can't I just be on my own? If you want a grandson, I can go abroad and have one for you."
Seeing An Xin say this again, An Jingsheng shook his head. "A child needs a father. If you're a single mother and I'm gone one day, do you know how hard it will be for you?"
Seeing An Jingsheng about to lecture her again, An Xin stood up indignantly. "I've already decided. I'm not going on any more blind dates. In a couple of years, I'll go abroad and have a few grandsons for you. You can have as many as you want."
"You... are you trying to infuriate me to death??"
Seeing An Jingsheng pointing at her and about to blow his top, An Xin ignored him and turned to walk up the stairs.
