Chapter 2696

Seeing Song Wanting, An Chongqiu smiled very humbly and said: "Hello, Miss Song, we meet again. Thank you for sparing time to see me in your busy schedule."

Song Wanting smiled: "You are polite."

As she spoke, she invited An Chongqiu to sit down in the sofa area, while she sat opposite An Chongqiu and asked curiously: "I don't know why Mr. An came to find me this time?"

An Chongqiu said hurriedly: "It's like this, Miss Song. The last Rejuvenation Pill auction was indeed a bit abrupt, breaking the rules of the auction, so I have always been a bit embarrassed. Today, I came here specifically to apologize to you and the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill behind you."

Song Wanting smiled and said: "Mr. An doesn't need to apologize specifically for this. Regarding that incident, the auction has already made its own handling opinion on your behavior. You have already paid the corresponding price for your behavior at that time, so there is no need to apologize additionally for this."

An Chongqiu smacked his lips secretly, not expecting Song Wanting to be really hard to talk to. He wanted to take the initiative to apologize to show a lower attitude, but she didn't even give him the chance to lower his head.

In fact, Song Wanting respected An Chongqiu very much in her heart.

This respect had nothing to do with his status as the eldest son of the An family, only because he was Ye Chen's own eldest uncle.

For Ye Chen, Song Wanting had long felt that she couldn't repay him, and she naturally had to be extra respectful to Ye Chen's elders.

But the problem was, Ye Chen didn't intend to recognize the An family yet, so Song Wanting didn't dare to be polite to An Chongqiu. Because An Chongqiu knew that he had to lower his posture when he came to the door for the auction incident, if she was too polite to him, he would definitely detect some abnormalities.

At this moment, An Chongqiu didn't dare to have any anger or displeasure, and could only smile and ask carefully: "Miss Song, to tell you the truth, An has always admired the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill very much. Although I was a bit abrupt because my father was seriously ill and urgently needed good medicine to treat him, I hope Miss Song can help me explain to him and seek his forgiveness."

Song Wanting smiled: "Mr. An thinks too much. What you broke that day was the rules of the auction, which has nothing to do with him personally. This logic is like the traffic rules formulated by the traffic management department, but you scraped with others while driving, so you don't need to apologize to the traffic management department, nor do you need to get the forgiveness of the traffic management department."

An Chongqiu felt like he was being kicked back and forth to the original place like a ball.

Due to repeated considerations, he still summoned the courage and said: "Miss Song, I will tell you directly. I have some things I want to verify with the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill in person. I hope you can introduce me. Regardless of success or failure, the An family will remember this favor of Miss Song!"

Song Wanting pursed her lips and smiled, saying seriously: "Mr. An, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the gentleman you want to see has already left Jin Ling since the last auction."

"Left Jin Ling?" An Chongqiu asked hurriedly: "Then may I ask, does Miss Song know the name of this gentleman?"

Song Wanting shook her head: "I don't know."

An Chongqiu asked with confusion: "Miss Song, this gentleman cooperates with your Song Group, and your Song Group collects the huge funds from selling the Rejuvenation Pill. With such close cooperation, how can you not know his true identity? If Miss Song can reveal a little bit, the An family will definitely do their best to repay!"

Song Wanting replied: "The gentleman is like a dragon, seeing the head but not the tail. It is already a great honor for the Song family to be chosen by him to handle the Rejuvenation Pill auction for him, so how can we explore the gentleman's true identity? As for the auction funds you mentioned, if I tell you that this fund is still hanging on the auction account and the gentleman hasn't taken it away at all, do you believe it?"

An Chongqiu fell silent immediately.

He knew that this kind of thing couldn't be believed or not by himself. Whether he believed it or not, he had nowhere to verify it.

Helpless, he could only explain in an extremely sincere tone: "Miss Song, to tell you the truth, some time ago my An family suffered a devastating disaster, and fortunately, a mysterious person helped at a critical moment. Later, this mysterious person even saved a dying friend of mine. I came here this time to verify whether that life-saving benefactor is the same person as the gentleman you mentioned."

After saying that, he said with a pleading face: "Miss Song must have the contact information of that gentleman. An doesn't ask you to give me his contact information, only asks you to help me verify it..."

Song Wanting smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then she looked at An Chongqiu and said something shocking: "Mr. An is talking about the incident where the An family and Detective Li encountered danger in New York and were saved halfway, right?"

An Chongqiu's expression was suddenly shocked!

The incident of the An family encountering danger had never been revealed to the outside world, so no outsiders knew about it until now.

And when he mentioned this incident just now, he didn't explain any actual clues, didn't mention New York, and didn't mention why.

And Song Wanting not only accurately said the location of New York, but even mentioned Li Yalin's name. From this, it could be seen that she knew everything about the An family's encounter in New York that day.

Thus, he asked hurriedly: "Miss Song, how do you know about this?"

Song Wanting said indifferently: "Because the gentleman contacted me two days ago. The gentleman said that if the An family comes to find me, help him bring a word to you."

An Chongqiu was excited and asked hurriedly: "What words?"

Song Wanting said: "The gentleman asked me to tell you that he did save the lives of the An family and Li Yalin in New York that day, but this matter was just a small effort for him, so you don't have to take it to heart."

An Chongqiu widened his eyes, so excited that his voice trembled: "It's him! The benefactor is indeed him! This is really great! Great!!"

After saying that, he continued to ask happily: "Miss Song, may I ask what else the benefactor said?"

"Nothing else." Song Wanting shook her head and said: "The gentleman knew that Mr. An wanted to verify this matter, so it can be considered as resolving the doubt in Mr. An's heart. Are you satisfied now, Mr. An?"

An Chongqiu sighed: "The An family has no friendship with the gentleman, and I even talked nonsense at the gentleman's auction. But the gentleman not only didn't blame, but saved the lives of more than a dozen people in my An family and saved the life of my good friend Li Yalin. This kindness, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in a lifetime..."

Song Wanting said seriously: "Mr. An doesn't need to worry about this. The gentleman said that as long as you do good deeds, don't ask about the future. Saving you must also be because you are worth saving."

An Chongqiu clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Miss Song, if there is a chance, please convey the gratitude of the An family to the gentleman! In addition, the An family has one more thing to ask for help, please convey it for me. If he can agree, the An family is willing to hand over half of their assets!"

Song Wanting said: "Mr. An, tell me."

An Chongqiu said: "An has a nephew who has been missing for twenty years. His name is Ye Chen, and he is twenty-eight years old this year. He is the only son of my sister An Chengxi and my brother-in-law Ye Changying. The An family has searched the world for twenty years and couldn't find him. Since the gentleman is so supernatural, please help us find Chen'er's whereabouts for the sake of my parents' old age and their eagerness to see their grandson. Once Chen'er is found, the An family will definitely offer half of their assets!"

Song Wanting was stunned.

She didn't expect that the An family would even be willing to take out half of their assets to find Ye Chen.

However, for An Chongqiu and the entire An family, making such a promise was not empty talk.

Before An Chongqiu came, the An family had discussed in a family meeting that judging from the situation of the An family, if the Anti-Qing Society kept holding onto the An family, the An family would be safe for the time being, but in the future, they would probably be doomed. After all, the strength gap between the two sides was huge, and the An family had no chance of winning.

And in the eyes of the An family, the mysterious benefactor who saved more than a dozen people in the An family in New York that day was the most likely person to save the An family and keep the An family from being exterminated by the Anti-Qing Society.

As long as it could be confirmed that the benefactor was the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill, not only would the An family's crisis have a powerful guarantee, but the old master's illness would also have a great chance of being completely cured.

In that case, this person would be the key to the survival of the entire An family.

And he himself was supernatural. If he was willing to help find Ye Chen's whereabouts, it would definitely be a piece of cake.

Therefore, being able to guarantee their own safety and having a chance to let the old master be completely cured, if they could also find Ye Chen, for the An family, this was killing three birds with one stone. So what if they handed over half of their assets?

A moment later, Song Wanting recovered from the shock and said: "Since Mr. An said so, I will try my best to find a chance to help you convey it."

An Chongqiu stood up and clasped his fists: "Thank you, Miss Song!"

After saying that, he added hurriedly: "Miss Song, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your help!"

Song Wanting said: "Mr. An, tell me. If it's something I can do, I will definitely help."

An Chongqiu said seriously: "To tell you the truth, Miss Song, the An family has decided to stay in Jin Ling for a long time to develop, so the An family is currently planning to establish a new business center in Jin Ling. By then, more than half of the An family's business will be transferred from the United States to Jin Ling;"

"However, this process will take at least several years to gradually realize. The first stage is to take a large enough piece of land in Jin Ling and build an office center with a scale no less than Apple's headquarters building in California. The total investment budget is no less than 8 billion US dollars. I heard that the Song Group is strong in Jin Ling and has experience in commercial real estate development. If Miss Song doesn't mind, the An family's project will be entrusted to the Song Group for actual development!"

"8 billion US dollars?!" Song Wanting was extremely shocked and blurted out: "Mr. An... such a large investment scale is unheard of in the history of Jin Ling. The largest commercial real estate project the Song Group has undertaken so far, including a skyscraper plus several supporting buildings and a large shopping mall, has a total cost of no more than 500 million US dollars... The Song Group not only can't do an 8 billion US dollar project, but can't even think about it..."
