There was nothing else to do while waiting, so Wei Yumeng opened her laptop, preparing to report the current situation to Zhan Yichen and the others.
This way, they could be reassured, and she could also ask if they had made any other discoveries.
So, Wei Yumeng proactively initiated a group video call.
This time, even Chen Yutong participated, but Chai Yanyu was nowhere to be seen.
“Yumeng, how are you? Are you in any danger?” Mu Linjing was the first to ask.
Wei Yumeng shook her head. “Although I encountered some trouble this morning, I’m fine now.”
As she spoke, she deliberately said to Zhan Yichen, “It’s also thanks to Kevin, he’s indeed a very good guide.”
When Zhan Yichen heard the name Kevin, he seemed a little unnatural.
“Yes, he is indeed very capable. If not, he wouldn’t have lived in such a place for so long.”
Wei Yumeng nodded in agreement.
Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong were still full of worry. Chen Yutong even advised, “Yumeng, that place is too dangerous. You must not force it, for your own sake and for the safety of the child.”
“I will.”
Wei Yumeng would not bear to let her child be in danger, so she would definitely ensure her own safety during the investigation.
“By the way, Big Brother, why don’t I see A Yu?”
Zhan Yangyi was a bit embarrassed. “After you went missing that day, he also disappeared. Although Yichen told me your whereabouts, and I planned to tell him then, I haven’t been able to contact him yet.”
Wei Yumeng felt a pang of guilt. After all, she had used Chai Yanyu’s trust to escape from the hospital.
If she had the chance to see Chai Yanyu again, she would apologize to him in person.
Chen Yutong nudged Zhan Yangyi with her elbow, which made Zhan Yangyi remember.
“I almost forgot, we went to the police station again this morning. Huo Ping told us some more information. I don’t know if it’s useful.”
Upon hearing this, the others shifted their attention to Zhan Yangyi.
“He said that Zhan Mohan should still be alive and somewhere in the Black Street, but we can’t determine the exact location.”
Wei Yumeng had expected some definite news, but it seemed to be something they already knew.
“There’s one more thing, and I’m not sure if it’s related to Mohan,” Zhan Yangyi continued. “Huo Ping said that when he escaped back to the country, he still had contact with people there. I heard that the daughter of the well-known gang leader in Black Street is planning to get married.”
This news surprised the others slightly. They seemed to have thought of the same possibility.
Could it be that the person the gang leader’s daughter was going to marry was…
But soon, they dismissed the idea. After all, they didn’t believe that Zhan Mohan would be the kind of person who would abandon his wife and child and remarry outside.
Therefore, the extent of Zhan Mohan’s involvement in this matter would likely require them to investigate further.
The few of them chatted for a while longer and analyzed the direction of their next investigation. Thus, half the day passed.
When Wei Yumeng closed her laptop, she realized that Kevin had not yet returned.
Thinking about what happened this morning made Wei Yumeng a little worried that Kevin might have encountered something again.
She paced nervously in the room. She absolutely couldn’t let Kevin get into danger because of her.
With a determined look, she decided to go out and see. At most, she would just look around the vicinity and flee back if things seemed wrong.
Just as Wei Yumeng reached the door, it opened, and Kevin walked in from outside.
“You’re going out?” Kevin frowned, clearly displeased.
Wei Yumeng quickly explained, “I saw you hadn’t returned for so long, so I was a little worried. I wasn’t planning to go far, just to look outside.”
Kevin simply walked into the kitchen with what he was holding.
“Wait a moment, after you eat, I’ll take you out.”
“Out?” Wei Yumeng was surprised. “Won’t I be causing you trouble if I go out like this?”
Kevin said indifferently, “Aren’t you looking for someone? I’ll take you to find them.”
Wei Yumeng just nodded, feeling that since Kevin said so, it was likely he had gone out earlier to make arrangements for this matter.
She watched Kevin busy himself in the kitchen while she just waited to eat, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Kevin was found by Zhan Yichen to help her, but now he was providing her with full room and board, and even cooking.
“Kevin, how about I cook?” Wei Yumeng walked over.
But Kevin glanced at her belly and continued with his work, “Don’t worry about anything, just wait.”
This made Wei Yumeng even more curious. Kevin clearly knew she was pregnant.
Was it also arranged by Zhan Yichen?
But Kevin insisted she not interfere, so she had to sit back down.
Since she had nothing to do, she stared at Kevin’s busy back, feeling that he looked more and more like someone familiar.
Although a person’s face could be hidden and their voice could be deliberately altered, their build would not change.
Kevin sensed Wei Yumeng’s gaze and turned slightly. Wei Yumeng quickly looked away.
A moment later, Kevin placed food in front of Wei Yumeng.
Indeed, he still didn’t eat, or rather, he didn’t eat in front of Wei Yumeng.
As Wei Yumeng ate, she started chatting with Kevin.
“Kevin, how long have you lived here?”
“Seventeen years.”
“So you’ve been in this place since you were very young?” Wei Yumeng was surprised.
Kevin nodded. “My parents are from here.”
However, Wei Yumeng felt something was not quite right. She remembered that Zhan Yichen had briefly told her about Kevin before.
The reason he came to this place was due to a wrongful conviction.
And the so-called wrongful conviction was that the police here believed he had committed a certain crime, so he had no choice but to flee here.
How did this differ from what Kevin said?
Wei Yumeng continued to ask, “Haven’t you ever thought about leaving this place?”
“No,” Kevin answered very firmly. “A person like me, what can I do even if I leave here?”
Wei Yumeng, on the other hand, said earnestly, “I don’t think so. I know many capable people. As long as you’re willing to come out, I can introduce you to a friend of mine. I believe he can arrange a good job for you.”
Kevin showed no reaction to this.
Wei Yumeng continued, “His name is Chai Yanyu. You might not know this name, but he is the CEO of our country’s Chai Group. If you’re willing, I can introduce you to him after things are settled.”
As expected, there was a flicker of hesitation in Kevin’s eyes.
“Why don’t you tell me what you’re good at and what you like? I’m very close to him, and I can ask him to arrange the best job for you then,” Wei Yumeng said, smiling at Kevin.
