He Hanwen safely sent Liu Wang back to the Liu family mansion, and before he could even take a break, he had to drive back to the Population Management Bureau for work.
Liu Wang leaned against the car window, trying to briefly pull the workaholic away from work, who could stay awake for twenty-four hours. "Since I was kidnapped, you've been busy until now. Can't you just take a simple rest?"
There has always been a room for He Hanwen in the Liu family mansion. Although He Hanwen is Liu Changsheng's assistant, everyone around him assumes he is Liu Changsheng's adopted son. Liu Changsheng takes He Hanwen with him to any event, nurturing him as if he were his own son, even leaving a place for him in the residence.
There are rumors that He Hanwen is actually the illegitimate child of Liu Changsheng, who is a father with a preference for sons over daughters and has a strained relationship with Liu Wang. He sees Liu Wang as a girl and believes that girls cannot achieve great things, so he has focused all his attention on his illegitimate child, even planning to leave all his assets to He Hanwen.
As for the various rumors, Liu Wang is not afraid. She just treats them as jokes. She has spent more than 20 years with her father and knows his character very well. After her mother died in childbirth, her father did not remarry and worked hard to raise her alone. From being a small employee to now being a bureau chief, Liu Wang has seen the hardships her father endured.
Liu Wang does not believe in the idea of favoring sons over daughters. Her father would do anything for her, and when she was looking for a job, he used his influence to get her into the best unit. Of course, Liu Wang was troubled by this for a while. Her ambition was to be an investigative journalist, but her father always thought it was a high-risk job and never agreed, wanting her to do something more leisurely and safe.
Therefore, the two of them have recently been somewhat unhappy. Before Liu Wang was tied up, the reason he got off Liu Changsheng's car in a huff was because they had a disagreement about their work choices.
As for He Hanwen, Liu Wang did not harbor any hostile feelings towards him because of the rumors. He Hanwen came to her house when he was young and has been living under the same roof with her ever since. He Hanwen is a few years older than her and usually takes good care of her, just like a caring older brother. Liu Wang remembers his kindness and naturally treats him with respect, showing concern for him as well.
"It's okay, I'm not tired yet, I can hold on. It's you who should go in and take a hot shower to relax, you've had a hard day." He Hanwen suddenly raised the hand holding the steering wheel towards Liu Wang, as if he was about to stroke her hair, but then immediately lowered it and pursed his lips slightly, as if he had thought of something.
"What's wrong, is my hair messy?" Liu Wang curiously touched her hair and immediately felt disgusted, "Oh, it feels a bit oily, I need to wash it properly."
"Go inside quickly, I also need to leave. Mr. Liu will be urging me later." Regardless of the time, He Hanwen always refers to Liu Changsheng as "Mr. Liu" and Liu Wang as "Miss Liu," always maintaining a polite sense of distance.
Liu Wang pouted, and with an innocent and playful expression on her face, she made a funny face, "Both of you are workaholics." After saying that, she straightened up and left from the car window, waving to He Hanwen with a smiling face.
When He Hanwen's car had completely disappeared from view, Liu Wang put away her innocent smile and a rare shadow appeared on her face.
Once in her room, Liu Wang immediately locked the door and took out a remittance slip from her phone case. She had found it at Wang Mingyang's house, when Wang Mingyang had gone to the kitchen to cook for her. Taking advantage of Wang Mingyang's distraction, she carefully searched through the drawers and cabinets in the room, ultimately finding only this remittance slip.
When questioned by Zheng Yi about her actions at Wang Mingyang's house, Liu Wang deliberately concealed the remittance slip. In order to prevent the police from finding this remittance slip, she specifically folded it to half the size of her phone case and tucked it behind her phone, successfully evading the police search during questioning.
Liu Wang went to great lengths to hide this remittance slip because she suspected... it might be related to her father... She trembled as she opened the remittance slip and carefully examined its contents. Even though she had repeated this action countless times since finding it. The amount on the remittance slip was not large, but it was exactly what Wang Mingyang had said he made from successfully trafficking a woman. The remitter was named Phoenix, and the payee was named Octopus, clearly both aliases. In addition to the amount and the two names, there was also a phoenix pattern seal pressed in the remitter's name position.
Liu Wang At first glance, she recognized the seal that she had carved for her father in her youth. Her father's favorite animal was the phoenix, and he even hung a painting of a phoenix in his office. Liu Wang had known about her father's preference since she was young, so she spent several months learning how to carve seals and personally carved a phoenix seal as a 50th birthday gift for her father.
Liu Changsheng cherished this seal very much. When Liu Wang was studying abroad, her father would often mail her letters and items from home, and each time he would stamp a phoenix seal on the package, signifying that he had personally sent it and that no one else had touched the contents of the package.
Because of this, Liu Wang developed a habit of seeing the seal as if she were seeing her father in person.
Liu Wang stared at the phoenix seal, hoping to find proof that it wasn't carved by her own hands, but her hopes were quickly dashed. Every detail of the phoenix was designed by her, so how could she be mistaken...
After realizing this, Liu Wang's hand holding the remittance slip went limp, and she collapsed as if drained of all strength. The remittance slip bearing the phoenix seal and the name of the phoenix was highly likely related to her father.
When the remittance slip appeared at the scene of the kidnapping, Liu Wang immediately sensed a deeper meaning behind it. After piecing together her thoughts, she couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, wishing for the first time that she wasn't so clever...
