Time was running out before midnight, so Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen returned to their temporary residence and began to investigate Cheng Yuan's background.

"Zhang Lin, retrieve all the records of Cheng Yuan's business activities over the past fifteen years." Huo Yanshen opened his laptop, "Pay special attention to his transactions with the Su Group."

"Got it." Zhang Lin quickly operated the computer.

Su Wanwan took out the notebook left by her father and carefully checked the timeline: "According to my father's records, he and Cheng Yuan first came into contact during a business cooperation fifteen years ago."

"Interesting." Huo Yanshen looked at the screen, "That was exactly when Cheng Yuan founded the Chenguang Group."

The retrieved data showed that Cheng Yuan was just the boss of a small trading company fifteen years ago. But after cooperating with the Su Group, his business began to develop rapidly.

"There is a suspicious record here." Zhang Lin pointed to a transaction, "Three months after the cooperation began, Cheng Yuan's company suddenly received a mysterious investment of up to 1 billion."

"One billion..." Su Wanwan thought, "Wait!"

She quickly flipped through the notebook and found a page that was blacked out. After special processing, she could vaguely see a string of numbers:

"1,000,000,000 - Warning! Source of funds is questionable..."

"The timing matches perfectly!" Su Wanwan said excitedly, "Father must have discovered something."

"That's not all." Huo Yanshen pulled up more documents, "Look here, after Cheng Yuan's company received this investment, it began to acquire various assets on a large scale. Many of them are partners of the Su Group."

"He is..."

"Eroding the supply chain of the Su Group." Huo Yanshen said coldly, "And what's even more bizarre is that the source of these acquisition funds all points to overseas offshore accounts."

As he was speaking, Zhang Lin suddenly shouted, "Sir, an abnormal message was found!"

An encrypted file was displayed on the screen, titled "Feasibility Report on Project XX". Although the core content was encrypted, the file attributes showed that the creator was "William Chen"!

"William?!" Su Wanwan's eyes widened. "Didn't he say before that he was hiding from his debts? Why did he appear in Cheng Yuan's file?"

"There are two possibilities." Huo Yanshen analyzed, "Either he is lying, or..."

"Either this document is forged." Zhang Lin continued, "But no matter which one it is, it means William knows more inside information."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. It was an encrypted text message:

"Do you want to know Cheng Yuan's true identity?

At 12 o'clock midnight, I'll wait for you at the old place.

But be careful, he has people following you.

——W"

"William?" Huo Yan frowned, "What a coincidence?"

"Something's wrong..." Su Wanwan checked the properties of the text message, "The address this message was sent to is..."

Before she finished her words, there was a sudden sound outside the window!

Huo Yanshen quickly turned off the lights and quietly approached the window. In the moonlight, he could vaguely see a figure swaying on the rooftop of the opposite building.

"He's been following us all the way." He sneered, "It seems that Cheng Yuan is very concerned about our investigation."

"Then William's appointment..."

"It's probably a trap." Huo Yanshen said, "But it may also be our only chance."

At this moment, Zhang Lin suddenly found shocking information from the computer!

It was a deleted email, the sender was "W" and the recipient was Cheng Yuan. The content of the email was blurred, but the title was still clear:

"Final report on the bankruptcy plan of Su Group"

"This..." Su Wanwan took a breath.

Even more shocking is the time when the email was sent - the day before his father committed suicide!

"So William is really involved?" Su Wanwan was incredulous, "But why would he help us?"

"Unless..." Huo Yanshen thought thoughtfully, "He is also a chess piece."

As he was talking, the computer screen suddenly flashed! All the files disappeared in the blink of an eye, and a video appeared in their place.

In the picture, a man is burning documents. Although his face is not clearly visible, his iconic red handkerchief is clearly visible!

"Isn't this the video taken in Cheng Yuan's office?" Zhang Lin asked in surprise.

But they soon discovered something was wrong - the video was shot fifteen years ago! On the burned document, the words "Su Group" could be vaguely seen.

"Interesting." Huo Yan stared at the screen, "It seems someone is giving us clues."

Su Wanwan carefully observed the details of the video and suddenly noticed a key piece of information: there was a clock hanging on the wall of the office, and the time was frozen at 12 o'clock midnight!

"This can't be a coincidence..." she muttered.

At this moment, the phone received another text message:

"clever.

Remember this time, and that clock.

It has witnessed many things.

Including…your father’s final moments.

——W"

"It seems that William wants us to find the clock." Huo Yanshen said.

“But where is the problem?”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lin suddenly found new information: "Wait, I found an address in Cheng Yuan's recent itinerary..."

It was an old building located in the suburbs, which had been secretly owned by Cheng Yuan for fifteen years. What was even more coincidental was that it had once been an office of the Su Group!

"Interesting." Huo Yanshen opened the map, "Judging from the orientation of the building, that place can be covered by moonlight."

Su Wanwan's heartbeat quickened: "So this is where the moonlight leads?"

"There is only one way to verify it." Huo Yanshen looked at his watch, "There are still two hours until midnight."

But just as they were about to act, an encrypted compressed package suddenly popped up on Zhang Lin's computer!

The file name is simple: "The Whole Truth About Cheng Yuan".

And the sender was: Klaus!
