"It doesn't exist?" Anna immediately retorted after hearing this: "If I say it exists, it must exist. Keep looking for it."
"Ms. Anna, this is the strongest effort we can make. I have asked someone to use your target as a model for helping child traffickers. We have filled out all the channels, including newspapers and the internet."
"Do you know what people are saying about me now? They say I am making such a fuss because this child is my illegitimate child!"
Anna leaned back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest, looking coldly at Wang Jianshe in front of her. "Keep looking. Only when you find that person can your son come back."
Hearing this, Wang Jianshe's face turned extremely bad. "I can continue to look for it, but you have to provide more details. But how can I increase my efforts with just a portrait?"
Anna didn't answer. She put on her mask and her trembling body gradually sank into the ceiling. "Keep looking."
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Wang Jianshe raised his hand to stop Anna.
Anna, half of her body stuck in the floor, stopped and looked up at him.
Wang Jianshe, with an unpleasant expression, inserted ten fingers into his graying hair and scratched it vigorously, then put it down roughly and said, "Are you sure that person really exists?"
"Of course I am sure. Do you think I am boring and made up a hypocritical person to play a trick on you?"
Wang Jianshe made up his mind. "You know I am just a businessman. My social status is the lowest among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Anna frowned slightly.
"I mean, I have a way to contact the people in front of me. Do you understand what I mean? If you can show your strength to them, they can definitely help you."
"No!" Anna refused decisively. The most important reason why she looked for Wang Jianshe was because he was just a simple businessman.
Of course he knew about Wang Jianshe's proposal, but the higher he went, the more dangerous it became. No one knew how close the ties between the IMF and other governments were. If he got involved in too many other things, he was afraid that all kinds of IMF spies would appear around him.
"Keep looking, even if it means losing everything you have. If you find it, everything will be fine. If you can't find it, you can handle it yourself."
On the way home, Anna walked silently with her head slightly lowered, thinking about everything Wang Jianshe had said before.
"Charles really doesn't exist?" Anna's eyes showed a hint of confusion.
She was just pretending to be so firm for Wang Jianshe to see, but Anna knew in her heart that she couldn't be completely sure whether he really existed.
The time, environment and city all matched, but their family was the only one missing, and no one knew what was going on.
Tuba's assumptions, 005's wishes, there are too many things that change that will affect the final result.
But that confusion only lasted for a few seconds, and Anna's eyes instantly became firm.
No matter whether he is in Charles' original plane or not, no matter whether he is caught in someone's conspiracy at this moment.
I must go back and take back my own power.
————————
In the academy of Hope Island, Lily's legs were slightly pressed together under her skirt, and she was quietly looking at a gray old book in her hands.
A fountain pen was handed over and tapped lightly on Lily's paper. "Look, there are two boys on the right peeking at you."
That was Maya, who had talked to Lily once before, and the two were now friends.
Lily, who was immersed in the sea of books, was interrupted. She looked up subconsciously and saw two boys quickly covering their faces with books.
"Maya, stop it." Lily grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction and started reading the book again.
Lily looked up at the clock on the wall next to her and found that it was actually twelve o'clock.
She grabbed the small bag beside her and followed her friend out of the library.
Lily's outstanding appearance attracted a lot of attention as she walked on the campus.
Lily's sweetness and cuteness have quietly spread among the boys in the school, and she is the dream lover in many people's hearts.
It's been a while since Lily came to this place, but she still hasn't gotten used to the feeling.
She didn't know if it was a side effect of being a mouse, but when they stared at her, Lily felt uncomfortable all over.
"I don't like these two, and I don't like the ones from a few days ago. So what kind do you like?" Maya asked jokingly.
"At least I don't like them. Mr. Bandage gave them this school for free, but they're wasting their time on things like this. Humph! Not doing their job properly!"
Lily was very dissatisfied, as if this waste of resources was taking money out of her pocket.
"Don't blame them. It's because you are so beautiful." Maya took Lily's arm and chuckled.
"But, Lily, I find that you are very different now."
“Before you gave me the feeling of a ten-year-old child, but now you give me the feeling of being a little more grown up.
Lily did not deny anything. "I was too naive at the time. I always thought some things were too simple."
Now thinking about the childish decisions she made, Lily couldn't help but blush.
Perhaps the moment he turned into a mouse, his mental age was frozen at ten, which is why he did such a thing.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the cafeteria. They went in and got their plates.
As the talent training center of Hope Island, the food here is completely free. The Governor's Office has already paid so much so this little bit is not a big deal.
The two of them sat down at a corner of the long dining table with their plates in hand. Lily said again, "Maybe it's because there was always someone helping me to shoulder everything. There was a long period of time when I didn't have to think about anything because I knew that no matter how troublesome the problem was, he would always solve it."
When Maya heard this, a hint of envy appeared on her face. As a child from a poor family, she knew what responsibility was since childhood.
"Lily, have you thought about what kind of person you plan to marry in the future?"
"If the governor of our island had no interest in this, it might be possible for you to marry him given your status,"
Lily seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned slightly red. "I haven't thought about these things. I just want to learn more knowledge now."
"What you said before is right. Knowledge can make a person no longer ignorant. I feel that I was lacking in this aspect before, so I need to make up for it. I feel that I am not adult enough now."
"Hey, it's good to be a kid from a rich family. Even their reasons for studying are so exquisite."
Lily nudged her gently with her shoulder and said, "Eat quickly, or you won't have a good seat when you go back later."
Just as Lily rolled up the noodles with the iron fork and put them towards her mouth, someone knocked lightly on the table in front of her.
