Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

Shen Jiyuan called the two little boys back into the house, and then had Chen Yang take them to wash their hands. Only then did he ask in a deep voice, "Peony, tell your uncle, who did you meet yesterday?"

Peony shook her head. "Uncle Shen, I don't know that person."

"Could you describe him to your uncle?" Shen Jiyuan frowned. "For example, what does he look like? Does he have any distinctive features?"

Peony thought for a moment and said, "I can't see what he looks like. He's wearing a hat and a mask."

Shen Jiyuan then asked, "How tall is he?"

Peony looked Shen Jiyuan up and down before saying, "He should be a bit shorter than Uncle Shen." She gestured with her hand above her ear, "He should be around Uncle Shen's height."

Shen Jiyuan is 189cm tall, and people at his height should be around 180cm.

Is he 180cm tall again?

Shen Jiyuan couldn't help but think of the person who had been following him and the brat at the hospital.

He had always thought that person was Lu Nian, but now he suddenly felt something was wrong. Was that person really Lu Nian?

"Any other characteristics?" Shen Jiyuan asked, frowning. "Whether it's something you can see or hear, any characteristics will do."

Peony blinked blankly, and after thinking for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah, that uncle seems to have a cold."

"Have you caught a cold?"

"His voice was hoarse when he spoke."

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback; his voice was hoarse.

However, he didn't believe that the person really had a cold as Peony had said.

"Anything else?"

Peony lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then shook her head apologetically.

Shen Jiyuan raised his hand and rubbed his head, smiling as he said, "Okay, thank you, Shaoyao. Uncle will treat you to a big meal tonight."

He had planned to take the brat out to eat yesterday, but he overslept, so he's making up for it today.

Peony: "..."

He is now extremely powerless.

His name isn't Peony!

Shen Jiyuan checked the time, then asked Chen Yang to wash a plate of fruit for the two little ones before going upstairs again.

He recounted what he had learned from Shaoyao to Zhao Tong, who exclaimed in surprise, "You mean... Lu Nian still has people on his side?"

Shen Jiyuan nodded. "Although it's just my guess, I think it's pretty close to the truth."

Zhao Tong suddenly remembered, "Hiss...didn't you say before that when Su Qian had the accident, she handed Xiao Ji over to a man and took him away?"

"Could it be him?"

Shen Jiyuan was also taken aback. His gaze darkened slightly. It was... quite possible.

Zhao Tong said, "I'll arrange for someone to investigate."

Shen Jiyuan hummed in agreement, paused, and then said, "Old Jiang... sent me an email."

Zhao Tong was taken aback for a moment, then reacted and said, "You want him to investigate something that happened four years ago?"

Shen Jiyuan nodded. "He said there's some progress."

Zhao Tong simply pulled up a stool and sat down, raising his chin as he said, "Let's take a look. His information might still be useful."

Shen Jiyuan did not refuse and opened his computer to access his email.

There are three documents.

One is a video file, which needs to be downloaded.

The other two are PDF files.

Shen Jiyuan first opened one of the documents. He glanced at it briefly and was surprised to find that it was actually Lu Nian's investigation report.

He and Zhao Tong exchanged a glance, and Zhao Tong said in a deep voice, "Lu Nian?"

"We also looked into this person, but the information in the database is pretty much the same as what we knew before; he's just a hoodlum."

Shen Jiyuan didn't speak, but quickly browsed through the information.

This document is quite detailed; it practically covers Lu Nian's entire life story.

Shen Jiyuan's gaze suddenly fell on a certain paragraph in the document: Lu Nian... does his family have a history of drug use?

Lu Shenping, Lu Nian's second uncle, had been imprisoned for drug use and illegal possession and sale of drugs. The drug he used was... Liejiao.

Shen Jiyuan frowned and continued reading. When Lu Shenping went in, Lu Nian was still a junior high school student.

But Lu Nian is not the same as the Lu Nian they know now. Lu Nian was not a bad boy in his youth. He had excellent grades and almost always ranked first in his grade.

He was considered an excellent student by all his teachers.

After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to the best high school in the province, which is how he met Su Qian.

Lu Nian actually had excellent grades at the beginning of high school, and was almost always first in his grade every semester.

However, starting in the second semester of his junior year, his grades inexplicably began to plummet. By his senior year, they had almost completely fallen, and he ultimately failed to get into university.

Shen Jiyuan frowned, his finger lightly tapping the last line, his gaze continuing to scan the text below.

However, the information below was almost the same as what he had learned before. Lu Nian, who failed to get into university, became a hoodlum, developed a gambling addiction, and lost nine out of ten times, accumulating a mountain of debt.

Later, he fell in love with Su Qian...

"Hmm?" Zhao Tong suddenly pointed to a line of text on the computer screen and said, "Four years ago, Lu Nian was at the Shengtian Hotel?"

Shen Jiyuan was taken aback and turned to look at the place Zhao Tong was pointing to.

October 18, four years ago?

Shengtian Hotel?

His dark eyes narrowed. Wasn't that the day four years ago when he was drugged and had sex with Su Qian?!

So, at that banquet four years ago, not only Su Qian was there, but Lu Nian was too?

But Lu Nian wasn't a rich man back then. Even Su Qian had to come with the Su family to get into such a banquet. How did Lu Nian, a small-time hoodlum, get in?

The information said he was working as a waiter at the time... but for a banquet like this, the waiters are all carefully selected, so there's absolutely no way Lu Nian could come!

But why were he and Su Qian both there?

Shen Jiyuan wanted to continue reading, but the next page was gone.

The information ends here.

Shen Jiyuan frowned and quickly opened another document, which, as expected, was Su Qian's information.

The presentation of the information was not much different from Lu Nian's information. It stated that Su Qian's mother passed away when he was ten years old.

Her father soon brought his mistress and his illegitimate child, who was older than her, into the house.

With a stepmother comes a stepfather, and Su Qian's childhood was not easy.

She met Lu Nian in high school.

However, the two didn't seem to be very close at that time. After Lu Nian failed the college entrance examination, Su Qian went to her ideal university.

The two fell in love later.

Their love story caused quite a stir back then, with many people wondering why Su Qian, a well-behaved girl, would fall for Lu Nian, a hoodlum.

What's strange is that no matter how much the outside world questioned her, Su Qian was determined to like Lu Nian.

Moreover, this well-behaved girl usually doesn't compete or fight for anything, but she is very persistent about getting into the Su family's company. Because of this, the Su family's mistress and illegitimate son, Su Luo, have been trying to get rid of her by any means possible.

If it weren't for her own excellence and ability, she might have really been kicked out of the Su family.

It's likely that the Su family saw her potential and wanted her to work for them, which is why they brought her into the Su family company.
