She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Fu Xiuheng took a deep breath and recounted Lin Qingran's analysis one by one.

"She suspected that Xingze was likely being used as an experiment, just like me, and that Lin Yuyan was deliberately provoking me to drive me insane so that the Lin family could profit from it."

Lu An's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.

"How is this possible? Lin Yuyan... she... she harmed the young master?"

Fu Xiuheng interrupted with a wry smile, "I didn't believe it at first either, but thinking about it carefully, many of the doubts are indeed hard to explain. Just like when I was kidnapped, Lin Yuyan's so-called rescue seems too suspicious now."

Lu An nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said.

"President, speaking of this, I remember the first time I noticed that you were not in a good condition. I was really panicked. I only knew that your condition was very serious, but I knew very little about your kidnapping. I was really at a loss, so I thought of Miss Jiang."

Fu Xiuheng raised his head and looked at Lu An.

Why did you suddenly decide to look for her?

Lu An scratched his head helplessly, "President, after all, you and she were once husband and wife. I thought she might know something about your past, even if it's just a little clue, it might be helpful to you back then, so I took the liberty of calling her."

Fu Xiuheng's eyes held a hint of inquiry. "What did she say to you on the phone?"

Lu An recalled the scene and said, "Her tone was very calm at the time, but what she said seems very strange to me now. She didn't ask you about the specific situation at the time, but just gave me a hint, telling me to pay attention to the Lin family and to investigate further. It was because of Miss Jiang's reminder that I vaguely felt there was something wrong with the Lin family. However..."

Lu An frowned. "At the time, Miss Jiang only gave a reminder and didn't say much. I guessed what happened later myself. But now, combined with what she said today about the Lin family's conspiracy, I feel that she seems to have been certain all along that Lin Yuyan didn't save you back then, and that the Lin family has been scheming against you and the Fu family from the beginning... Why is she so sure?"

After hearing Lu An's words, Fu Xiuheng frowned and fell into deep thought.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his mind replaying various details.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, startled, as a possibility came to mind.

If Lin Qingran could think of this possibility without any prompting from Lu An, it can only mean that she knew in advance that Lin Yuyan had not saved her at all.

According to Lu An, he himself was not very clear about the details of the kidnapping, so naturally he could not explain it to Lin Qingran in detail. So why was she so sure?

An answer gradually became clear in Fu Xiuheng's mind, and his heart suddenly started beating faster.

Perhaps... the person who saved me back then was Lin Qingran!

Lu An's gaze was fixed on Fu Xiuheng's face, taking in his series of changes in expression. He gradually understood what was going on and couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he was speechless for a moment, his mind filled with the astonishing conjecture—Lin Qingran might actually be the one who saved Fu Xiuheng.

He began to think about it carefully in his mind.

Lin Qingran had a tragic experience of being trafficked to a mountainous area from a young age, and was even moved from one household to another.

If she and Fu Xiuheng had happened to be in the same place at the time, the probability of them meeting would have been quite high.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Qingran is very likely the person who saved my life back then.

Fu Xiuheng's emotions were like surging waves, rising and falling violently, yet his face also showed an uncontrollable joy.

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had suddenly caught a glimmer of light in the darkness, and he turned to Lu An eagerly.

"Lu An, you must quickly investigate where Qing Ran was abducted and sold to, and whether she ever went to the mountain village where I was stranded back then. I have to find out!"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, he spoke very quickly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he leaned forward, as if he were about to rush out to find out the truth himself.

However, Lu An stood there silently like a statue, showing no intention of taking any action.

Fu Xiuheng sensed something was wrong and was filled with doubt. He turned his head and looked at Lu An with surprise and questioning in his eyes.

"Lu An, why aren't you going?"

Lu An lowered his head slightly, remained silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, met Fu Xiuheng's gaze, and spoke with a complex emotion in his eyes.

"President, you didn't care where Miss Jiang was trafficked to back then, so what's the point of investigating now?"

His voice was soft and calm, like a bucket of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing the burning flame in Fu Xiuheng's heart.

Fu Xiuheng felt as if his heart had been struck hard, and he stood there dumbfounded.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and memories of his past interactions with Lin Qingran involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Yes, he was blinded by his obsession and never truly cared about Lin Qingran's plight.

Those situations that he could easily find out with just a little bit of resources at the time, he never even considered instructing Lu An to do.

Now, what can I do, given my eagerness to find the truth?

Even if it is confirmed that Lin Qingran saved him, it only proves that she has been upright and kind since childhood, but it cannot prove that she still loves him, nor can it be a reason for them to get back together.

Seeing Fu Xiuheng's dejected appearance and his obvious low spirits, Lu An knew that it was not advisable to provoke him with words at this moment.

But seeing Fu Xiuheng so immersed in the past and unable to extricate himself, he couldn't help but speak up.

"President, Miss Jiang has already moved on. She is now married to Bo Ye, and the two have a deep and abiding love. Bo Ye is even willing to accept Lin Qingran's two children, which is enough to show that his love for Miss Jiang is sincere and cannot be easily shaken or changed by others. Under such circumstances, how could Miss Jiang be willing to turn back?"

Fu Xiuheng's face grew paler and paler, and his mood became even more depressed. His heart felt as if it were being deeply pierced by countless fine needles, causing him great pain.

He was filled with regret and kept blaming himself for not realizing sooner that he had fallen in love with Lin Qingran.

Why are you so stubborn and unwilling to cherish her kindness?

It's only when you lose something that you taste the bitterness of regret.

Seeing that Fu Xiuheng was no longer resistant to his words as he usually was, and was even showing signs of softening, Lu An pressed his advantage and continued speaking.
