Jiang MingYuan frowned as he looked at the picture on his cellphone. He thought about it for a bit and sent a message to Li KangYi: [Where did you take the picture?]

Li KangYi happened to be home still mulling over how to look into this incident, tell his boss, and gain whatever benefits that he could when he received the text from his boss. He sat up in bed immediately, and his mouth cracked open as he read it.

Hah. And he was pretending that he didn't care. Now it's been revealed? He felt complacent but wasted no time in responding. Jiang MingYuan received his reply shortly.

[Li Kangyi: A BBQ stand at the night market over on 65 Zhang Ning Street. He should be 4 years old right now. His mother is the owner of the booth. Her cooking was quite good and she's pretty. She seemed to have gained some popularity recently.]

[Li Kangyi: Boss, I have the picture of the booth owner. Do you want it?]

He added the last sentence worrying that Jiang MingYuan wouldn't remember what she looked like because of all the women he had been with in the past.

Jiang MingYuan had, in fact, no idea what Cheng Huan looked like. He was under the influence that night. When the effect of the drug wore off, he was busy with taking care of the incident. By the time he was done, Zhou Heng had already taken care of the person.

[Jiang MingYuan: Mmm.]

Li KangYi was very efficient and quickly sent over the picture that he had prepared. He even sent him additional information like her name and age after the picture.

After the streams, many of the customers would ask a little bit about her when they went to have BBQ. Plus, a few of the original owner's former classmates also said that they've known her from the past. It wasn't difficult to find some information on Cheng Huan online.

But this information was very limited. Anything beyond that would be more difficult to find out.

After he had received the picture, Jiang MingYuan turned around and contacted another person.

The voice from the other end was slovenly. "Yo! What made this busy CEO think about me today?"

Jiang MingYuan didn't want to waste any time and cut straight to the chase. "Do you remember the girl from Yicheng five years ago?"

"What about her?" It had been a while, but Zhou Heng immediately realized who he was referring to. After all, he had been friends with Jiang MingYuan for years and that was the first and only time he had seen him in such an awkward situation. "What's the matter? You finally thought about how good she was after all these years and want to look her up again?"

Jiang MingYuan ignored his teasing.. This friend of his was never a serious person, but he was trustworthy. "Do you still remember her name?"

"If you don't even remember it, I certainly won't. I have only seen her that one time." Zhou Heng asked sluggishly, "Why do you ask?"

"I need to know." Jiang MingYuan didn't go into any details. "You have sent her some money. You should have her name, right?"

"Yeah, probably." As his good friend was asking, of course Zhou Heng would help him out. He walked over to his study, turned on his computer, and said to Jiang MingYuan, "Give me a minute."

The incident happened less than five years ago. Zhou Heng did some searches and finally was able to locate the details after going back a few months.

"Got it. Her name is Cheng Huan."

Hearing the name from his good friend, his hand tightened a bit. The speculation inside of him made it difficult to breathe. He suppressed his voice and forced out a, "Good. Thanks. I got it."

"Oh, c'mon. There's no need to thank me. All you have to do is tell me why you are looking for her." Zhou Heng refused to give up.

"There's something else I need to tend to. Talk later."
