The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

An Jun immediately tensed up upon hearing this, but before he could ask any questions, An Chong continued speaking.

"Following Xiaoling's suggestion, I sent someone to Mingliu Middle School to inquire. They did indeed accept a transfer student named Tu Lan thirteen years ago, and the registered address matches."

"And then what happened?" An Yun asked anxiously.

According to An Ling's inner thoughts, Ye Lishan should have kicked Tu Lan out a year after she came to Haicheng, and it is unknown whether Tu Lan continued her studies afterward.

"Don't worry, the situation isn't as bad as you think. Tu Lan didn't drop out of school back then and successfully finished high school. She even got into Haicheng Normal University."

Her homeroom teacher back then was a good teacher. After learning about Tu Lan's situation, he helped her apply for a corporate scholarship that would support her until she graduated from university.

The An family members breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Fortunately, even in such a desperate situation, there was a teacher willing to lend a helping hand.

"Where is she now? Did she stay in Haicheng to work after graduation?"

An Chong shook his head. "She went back to her hometown."

He handed a file folder to An Jun.

“We found Tu Lan’s former homeroom teacher. Fortunately, they have kept in touch. After graduating from university, Tu Lan returned to Huailin Town and became a teacher at the town’s middle school.”

An Jun took the file bag and took a deep breath before daring to open it.

An Chong said that this was given to them by Tu Lan's homeroom teacher after they explained their purpose. It contained some information about Tu Lan when she was in high school at Mingliu Middle School, as well as her current address.

The most eye-catching one was an ID photo. An Jun had imagined countless times what the girl who saved him would look like.

Later, Tu Mumu's appearance made him think that his imagination had become reality, but in the end, it was all proven to be a scam.

After learning about Tu Lan's true experiences, An Jun thought she would be a girl who had suffered so much hardship and was worn down by life, making her somewhat melancholic and fragile.

But it wasn't until she saw this photo that An Yun realized she was completely wrong.

The girl in the photo is wearing a school uniform with a simple ponytail and a bright smile on her face.

Her smiling eyes curved into crescent moons, and her clear eyes flowed with vitality and energy, completely devoid of the melancholy that An Yun might have imagined.

An Yun stared at the photo for a long time, then said softly, "I want to go to Huailin Town to see her."

An's parents originally wanted to go with them, but An Jun refused them without hesitation.

"I just want to thank Tu Lan in person. It would put pressure on her if you two elders came along! Besides, right now only Xiaoling and I are temporarily unemployed, so Xiaoling can come with me."

"We'd like to thank her properly too," Pei Yuning argued. "If all else fails, we can just secretly follow her without showing our faces, right?"

“You’re not allowed to go,” An Chong directly rejected her suggestion. “If you go, are you sure you can arrive in Huailin Town quietly and without attracting attention?”

The two fell silent instantly.

An entrepreneur like An's father is likely to attract the attention of local businessmen wherever he goes, who will then begin to speculate about his intentions. If people find out that he went to a remote middle school specifically to look for someone, it could bring unnecessary trouble to Tu Lan.

As for Pei Yuning, although she has retired from acting now, the title of Best Actress in her era was much more prestigious than An Ling's current Best Actress title. She had genuine national recognition, and even in the most remote areas, she could still be recognized.

Therefore, considering all factors, it would be more suitable for An Yun and An Ling to go.

“An Jun, when you and Xiao Ling go, make sure you cover yourselves up properly so that no one takes pictures and posts them online,” An Chong added.

An Chong and An Ling nodded in agreement.

An Chong's concerns were not without merit, especially since An Yun was currently trending online because of yesterday's events. If people found out that Tu Lan was the person he had been looking for, many people online who would do anything for a bit of traffic might flock there, bringing negative impacts to the local area and Tu Lan.

An Ling also considered this, so she deliberately muted Tu Lan's name when editing the video.

An Jun didn't want to wait any longer, so she bought the nearest plane ticket and prepared to set off with An Ling that very night.

Only after repeated requests from An's parents did An Jun reluctantly bring along a bodyguard.

Tu Lan's town, Huailin, requires them to take a one-hour train ride and a two-hour bus ride after landing, then to the city where Huailin is located, and finally take a bus to the county to catch the local bus that only runs twice a day, or hire a private car to get there.

An Yun set off in such a hurry that she didn't carefully consider how to get to Huailin Town. It was Zhao Niannian's bodyguard, who was with them, who told her all this.

It turns out that Zhao Niannian is a local from Huailin Town, no wonder An's parents insisted that An Jun bring him along.

To get there faster, they didn't take the bus, but instead hired a taxi after getting off the train. However, the driver was only willing to take them to the city center, as he wasn't a local and didn't dare go to places that were too remote.

They arrived in the city at 10 a.m., having missed the morning bus, but there was still plenty of time before the 5 p.m. bus. Zhao Niannian suggested:

"Young Master An, Miss An, my family moved from the countryside to the city a few years ago. Otherwise, I'll call my brother and have him drive over so I can borrow his car for a while."

"Of course!" An Yun was worried. If they waited until five o'clock to set off for Huailin Town, it would be dark by the time they arrived.

However, I didn't realize it before, but now I find that while it's okay to hear "young master" and "young lady" at home, hearing them outside makes An Yun and An Ling feel so ashamed.

An Yun quickly told Zhao Niannian to stop calling her, "Niannian, you can just call me An Yun."

"How can that be!" Zhao Niannian, a tall and strong man, was a little shy and shook his head repeatedly in refusal.

“Why not? You and Xiaoling are the same age, or you can just call me Brother Anjun.”

An Ling nodded, "You can call me Xiao Ling or An Ling, it's fine."

After much persuasion from An Yun and An Ling, Zhao Niannian finally agreed.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a van stopped in front of the three of them, and a middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Zhao Niannian got out of the driver's seat.

Zhao Niannian happily went over and chatted with him for a few words. The man nodded, smiled and greeted An Yun and An Ling before leaving.

"Brother Anjun, let's go." Zhao Niannian opened the car door.

"Don't you need to send your brother back?" An Ling asked, puzzled.

“No need,” Zhao Niannian replied. “My home is not far from here, just a short walk away. On the contrary, we need to hurry. My brother said that it rained a couple of days ago and the road conditions are not good. There is no place to stay in Huailin Town, so it would be best to get back to the city before dark.”

Upon hearing this, An Ling and An Jun didn't delay any longer and quickly climbed into the car.

Zhao Niannian said that it takes about two hours to get to Huailin Town from here, and there might be some fallen rocks on the road due to the rain a few days ago.

As the van moved forward, they gradually moved away from the city and deeper into the mountains. An Jun looked at the scenery outside the window and felt increasingly uneasy.
