Chapter 147: The Strange Investigation Outcome

Hua Tianyu smiled faintly and said, "It was just a little matter of friendship—a brief exchange using actions rather than words."

"Heh, you've offended her. That’s even more troublesome than offending both me and Xueying combined! You’d better watch out for yourself!" Shuyu seemed to be both warning him and taking a bit of pleasure in his predicament. After saying this, she stuck out her tongue at Hua Tianyu and then turned into Building No. 3, ending her workout for the day.

After running two more laps, Hua Tianyu went upstairs to shower, bought breakfast, and then drove Wei Xueying to the company.

Just as they arrived at the company entrance, Hua Tianyu saw a car parked right at the main gate of Swan Tower. Han Yan stood alone beside the vehicle. Today, she wasn’t driving a law enforcement vehicle, nor was she dressed as an agent.

Because of her natural beauty, Han Yan’s poised and commanding presence by the entrance caught the eyes of the young employees coming and going from Swan Tower, who all gave her respectful glances.

However, her cold expression and an aura that kept others at a distance meant no one dared approach her to chat.

Is this girl really so vengeful? Has she come today to get revenge? Hua Tianyu thought to himself.

Though suspecting that she might be here for revenge, Han Yan’s presence had no effect on Hua Tianyu.

Curiously, after getting out of the car, Hua Tianyu opened the door for Wei Xueying and watched her walk over to Han Yan before returning to the car and starting the engine again. Throughout this, Han Yan remained motionless.

Not only did she not move, but she fixed him with a very strange gaze.

Being stared at like that made Hua Tianyu feel uneasy all over. He wondered silently: Could it be that the kiss he planted on her yesterday had secretly won her heart?

No, her demeanor was beyond just a hidden affection now—was she preparing to come and claim him?

If she really made a move to claim me, should I pretend to resist at first and then relent? Or should I just give in to her outright?

While torn between these choices, Hua Tianyu drove the car into the garage.

Han Yan watched until Hua Tianyu disappeared from sight before speaking: "Xueying, you asked me to investigate Hua Tianyu yesterday. I’ve done it."

"Oh? So soon?" Though Wei Xueying knew Han Yan’s family background—almost omniscient in their reach—she hadn’t expected such a quick result, especially with Han Yan coming to inform her personally.

Han Yan nodded. That man had kissed her yesterday—how could she not dig deep into his background?

The first thing she did upon returning home was call her family and ask them to investigate thoroughly.

She told them to use all their speed and power to uncover every detail about Hua Tianyu.

By early morning, the family’s response came back.

The reply was blunt: No Comment.

Han Yan was stunned. How could that be “No Comment”? She had never encountered such a result with investigations by the Han family. When they investigated someone, they always got answers.

Thinking her family was just brushing her off, she harshly scolded the person who gave her the feedback and then called her father.

Unexpectedly, her father told her directly that the result on Hua Tianyu was indeed “No Comment.”

At first, even her father doubted it and used another connection to confirm—but the answer was the same: No Comment.

Still, the Han family was the Han family. Someone discreetly leaked a bit of information: Hua Tianyu was indeed a former soldier, but beyond that, they refused to say another word.

What was going on? After that phone call with her father, Han Yan sat in a daze for a long time, utterly baffled by who Hua Tianyu really was that even the powerful Han family couldn’t uncover his past.

So, early that morning, she simply took a leave from work, drove her private car to Swan Tower, and told Wei Xueying about the situation.

"We only found out that Hua Tianyu is a veteran," Han Yan said apologetically to her close friend, "but with all our resources, we couldn’t find out anything else about him."

"You mean even the Han family couldn’t find anything on him?" Wei Xueying was surprised. She knew the strength of the Han family. If even they couldn’t get info on Hua Tianyu, then who was he really?

At least there was some good news: Hua Tianyu hadn’t lied. He was indeed a veteran.

"Yes, sorry about that," Han Yan gave a small bow.

Wei Xueying smiled and said, "Sorry? Why? You’ve already helped me solve a big question. You confirmed he’s a veteran—that’s enough for our group."

"Actually, our group doesn’t care much about his past. As long as I know he served in the military and didn’t lie to me, that’s enough. Under these circumstances, I can confidently entrust him with the position of Security Department Manager."

Wei Xueying spoke softly. Though Han Yan’s investigation had yielded unexpected results, they were sufficient to reassure her about Hua Tianyu.

"That’s good. I was worried you’d think I was hiding something from you," Han Yan smiled.

"How could I?" Wei Xueying laughed. With Han Yan’s fiery personality, once she found out about Hua Tianyu, she’d be restless if she wasn’t allowed to share it—not to mention keeping it secret.

"Want to come to my office for a bit? Lunch is on me," Wei Xueying invited. Seeing Han Yan’s private car, she knew she must have taken the day off on purpose.

"Sure!" Hearing about lunch lifted Han Yan’s spirits immediately, wiping away the earlier gloom from investigating Hua Tianyu.

As Han Yan drove toward the garage, Wei Xueying shook her head with some helplessness. Her best friend was sometimes just like a child...

At this moment, Wan Rong was walking toward the garage with his two confidants, Xiong Junhai and Bi Jinzhou, to pick up their cars.

After a night and a morning, Wan Rong had finally cleared all opposition within the Yongxing branch.

Though Yongxing Hall suddenly lost nearly a third of its members overnight, Wan Rong was thrilled. Yongxing Hall was finally his—he had his own territory.

Despite not having slept all night, he was wide awake now. He was taking two trusted men to the hospital to personally handle Jiang Liliang’s final arrangements.

Because...
