Chapter 472: Even Owing Hundreds of Millions is Not a Problem
Sanxue Town, it's a small town located in Jiangnan City, economically quite underdeveloped, and appears to be a rather rundown place.
The marketplace, however, is bustling with people coming and going; today is a market day, and villagers from ten miles around have come here. At a glance, most are older uncles and aunties.
On both sides of the street, there are numerous simple stalls selling vegetables, fruits, poultry, with sellers shouting loudly and buyers haggling, full of the breath of life.
There are also discordant noises.
At a corner of the street, a man in his fifties got into a conflict with someone; the man is a vendor selling fruits. Just arriving on a tricycle, he accidentally knocked over the cart of the adjacent vendor while parking, and they began to argue.
The other person seized the man, demanding that he compensate for a new cart.
"Look, you broke my cart handle, it can't work anymore, you need to compensate me with a new cart!" yelled the other person.
The man argued, "It was my fault for crashing into your cart, I'm willing to help you repair it, but it's impossible for me to buy you a new cart, you're extorting me."
The two were arguing.
Suddenly, a very pleasant female voice came from beside, "Zheng Yang!"
Upon hearing it, the man shivered all over and instinctively turned his head to see a pair of young man and woman, the man was strikingly handsome, and the woman was inexplicably beautiful.
The man, however, looked as if he'd seen a ghost, immediately ran off.
The person who was arguing with him yelled angrily, "You still owe me a cart, don't you dare run!"
But where did the man have time to care, as he ran faster and faster, turning into the crowd on the street.
The young couple exchanged a glance and immediately went after him.
These young people were naturally Lin Fan and Loli.
They came all the way to Sanxue Town to find this man, who was precisely a colleague of An Jincheng named Zheng Yang back then.
Almost every day at this time, Zheng Yang would come to sell fruits, and they managed to encounter Zheng Yang by timing their visit precisely.
But upon seeing them, Zheng Yang fled, making them both a bit surprised.
Speaking of Zheng Yang running away, under the cover of the crowd on the street, he entered a narrow alley, wandered in the complex alleys for a while, and felt nobody chasing him anymore, then heaved a sigh of relief.
"Luckily I moved fast, that was too close!" Zheng Yang patted his chest, fearful.
However, in the next second.
"Teacher Zheng, why are you running, we mean no harm."
Lin Fan spoke while emerging from the front, blocking Zheng Yang's way.
It startled Zheng Yang greatly, he immediately turned to escape, but upon turning back, he saw Loli coming over. With both the front and back blocked, he couldn't escape.
"Don't come near, I don't have money, I really have no money, no point forcing me!" Zheng Yang said in a panic.
Loli frowned and said, "Zheng Yang, you might have misunderstood something, we are not here to ask you for money."
Zheng Yang yelled, "Not? Don't lie to me, I'm not called Zheng Yang here at all, if you know my real name, it can only be those people!"
Lin Fan smiled, "Teacher Zheng, calm down for a moment, we're definitely not here for money, we're not those people you're talking about, we're here because of someone."
Zheng Yang was momentarily taken aback and said, "You really aren't those people? Then who are you?"
Lin Fan said, "My name is Lin Fan, she is Officer Luo."
Zheng Yang was stunned, sized up Loli, "You're a police officer?"
Loli took out her credentials from her pocket, "My name is Loli, I'm an officer from the Yun City Police Department. We're here to ask you to assist in investigating the case of An Jincheng's disappearance."
"An Jincheng!"
Zheng Yang's face changed, then he said, "What's that got to do with me? I don't know anything about it. Back then I gave a full statement, finding me is useless! Since you're not here for debts, I'll go back to selling fruits."
Zheng Yang intended to leave.
Lin Fan said, "Teacher Zheng, hold on!"
Through his supreme insight, Lin Fan had discerned from Zheng Yang's micro-expressions that he was just lying, this Zheng Yang definitely knows something!
"Teacher Zheng, we really need your help, An Jincheng disappeared 15 years ago under strange circumstances; her daughter has been searching for her for 15 years without any trace, it's truly tragic. She simply wants to know her father's whereabouts, you used to be a teacher, believe you can understand a child's feeling." Lin Fan said.
He attempted to persuade Zheng Yang, his voice truly moving and tear-jerking.
But Zheng Yang was not moved, shaking his head, "I really know nothing, I haven't been a teacher for many years now, I'm just a fruit vendor, I want to live my life quietly, please leave me alone!"
Loli glanced at Lin Fan, somewhat puzzled; she had worked hard to find this Zheng Yang, could Lin Fan have made a mistake, does this Zheng Yang really know nothing?
If that's the case, they're just busy for nothing.
Lin Fan said, "Teacher Zheng, you want a peaceful life, probably not that easy, right? Just now we merely called your name, and you fled startled like a frightened bird, why is that?"
Zheng Yang felt offended, somewhat angry, "It's none of your business! Officer Luo, I haven't broken the law, have I, you can't restrict my freedom, I'm leaving now."
Zheng Yang bypassed Loli, wanting to leave.
Loli indeed couldn't do anything to Zheng Yang as a police officer since he hadn't committed any crime and claimed ignorance about An Jincheng's case, she couldn't force him.
Seeing Zheng Yang about to leave.
Lin Fan said, "Teacher Zheng, help us, and I'll reward you. How much money do you owe, I'll help you repay it."
Zheng Yang already intended to leave, hearing this, his steps abruptly halted, while he wanted to leave, Lin Fan's words seemed magical, making it hard for him to move.
To be precise, the money made it hard for him to move.
"What did you say, you'll pay my debt?" Zheng Yang turned back to look at Lin Fan, his voice somewhat trembling.
Lin Fan said, "Exactly."
Zheng Yang felt Lin Fan agreed too easily, somewhat disbelieving, "You'll pay my debt, do you know how much I owe, speaking so boldly!"
Lin Fan said, "Tell me then?"
Loli laughed, "Zheng Yang, just speak freely, even if you owe billions, he can pay it off."
"What?" Zheng Yang looked at Lin Fan in surprise, paying off billions, is this young man so rich?
"Are you kidding!" Zheng Yang unconvincingly said.
Loli said, "I'm a police officer, I won't deceive you, standing before you is the richest man in Yun City, if you don't believe, come back to Yun City with me, he can prove it."
Zheng Yang was dumbfounded, the richest man in Yun City? This young man in front of him, actually Yun City's richest man, is this possible?
Zheng Yang suddenly remembered something, exclaimed, "Could you be Mr. Lin?"
