Liu Yifeng and Lu Fei were instantly stunned. They exchanged glances as the voice outside the door sounded again. Only then did Lu Fei get up to open it.
To their surprise, it was Su Wanru who stood there. Both their faces fell with disappointment.
"What? You're that disappointed to see me?" Su Wanru was dressed mysteriously. While an ordinary person might not notice, the disappointment in their eyes was evident when she took off her scarf.
Liu Yifeng shook his head. "No, I just didn't expect you to come."
"So it seems someone you were expecting is about to arrive? Who is it?" As a businesswoman, she could easily discern the subtle changes in people's expressions.
Liu Yifeng knew he couldn't keep it from her. "It's like this, we found the man who posted the photos. We only found his lair and left a few clues, hoping he would come to us."
Hearing this, Su Wanru seemed to understand. She had taken a risk coming here today for the same reason.
"It seems you've investigated. I also have new developments," she said, pulling out her phone and showing Liu Yifeng an anonymous text message she had received.
It was a threatening message, telling her to stay away from Liu Yifeng, or more trouble would follow.
"Yifeng? Could this be one of your old flames doing this deliberately?" Lu Fei exclaimed from beside them, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Liu Yifeng rolled his eyes speechlessly. Su Wanru, meanwhile, smiled. "But I don't think so. Although it's anonymous, the tone does suggest it's a woman's warning."
Su Wanru harbored a bold thought, but she dared not believe it and told herself to stop thinking in that direction.
"Let's wait and see if that man shows up," Liu Yifeng said, not elaborating further. After all, such messages could also be from people who saw the news and felt displeased with one party, leading them to act excessively. Thus, he didn't take it too seriously, believing that once the truth was revealed, everyone would understand.
Su Wanru didn't say anything more. She stayed for a while longer, and when she felt it was no longer dangerous outside, she left.
The day had passed, and clearly, the man had not appeared. Just as Liu Yifeng was deciding to go again, photos of Su Wanru visiting him that day were leaked again.
It was evident that the person was currently very close to them and was not deterred by Liu Yifeng's business card.
"What is this all about? Why would she go looking for you again when things were almost over?" Liu Chunsheng also saw the new news and looked visibly annoyed.
The matter had seemed to be fading with time, but this new development was slowly solidifying it.
"Don't worry, I'll handle it." Liu Yifeng was also frustrated. He went to Tongtong, who was diligently typing code, also wanting to help Liu Yifeng find out who was behind it.
Seeing Tongtong's serious expression, he felt even more guilty. Not only had he failed to protect him, but now he had to rely on him for help.
"Daddy, the situation might not be as simple as it seems. This isn't being spread from the same ID, which means it's not one person operating."
Tongtong only wanted to check where the photos were being sent from. But upon investigation, he discovered it was a different person, from a different location than the day before.
"Do so many people have a grudge against me?" Liu Yifeng began to doubt himself. Who was intentionally doing this, making his life so miserable?
Tongtong furrowed his brows tightly. "Daddy, don't worry, Tongtong has a way." With that, he began typing furiously on his keyboard, posting about these two pieces of information on his private account.
He utilized other computer experts in his account to help trace the source, penetrate the network monitoring, and find the closest surveillance camera to the publisher at the time of posting, making it easier to identify them.
When those people sent him a string of code, Tongtong began operating his keyboard even faster. Lines of code appeared on the screen, which Liu Yifeng couldn't understand at all.
About three minutes later, Tongtong hit Enter, and surveillance footage appeared on the computer screen.
"Where... where is this surveillance from?" It was clear that this was surveillance footage, and Liu Yifeng was shocked. Could they access surveillance so easily?
Tongtong let out a sigh of relief, looking as if the problem was solved. "This is the surveillance closest to the publisher. Look, Daddy, the internet cafe next door. It seems the information was sent from machine number 16 in this internet cafe."
Liu Yifeng gave him a thumbs-up. He wanted to see what kind of person would dare to provoke him so fearlessly. Perhaps they didn't know they had such a capable son.
Unfortunately, the person's location was a blind spot for the surveillance camera. They could only investigate people passing by one by one.
After two hours of watching the video back and forth, they did manage to identify a young man, around the same age as the first person who posted the information.
They then secretly took a screenshot of this man. Although his face was blurry, it was still enough to find all his information.
"He's just an ordinary office worker, Daddy. Do you know him?" Tongtong seemed a bit puzzled. He looked at the information, which was very simple, describing him as an ordinary citizen.
Liu Yifeng also didn't recognize the man. He couldn't recall anyone he might have wronged, which was truly strange. Even stranger was why the information was being posted by two completely different people.
It was no wonder they were father and son. Even when they were thinking seriously, they looked exactly the same, like a copy-paste.
"Don't think about it for now. You need to rest. Daddy will handle this. I plan to discuss it with your aunt. You should go back to school soon."
Liu Yifeng had actually had this idea for a long time. If it weren't for the exposure of his and Su Wanru's situation, Tongtong might already be in school. Indeed, plans often couldn't keep up with changes.
He glanced at the time. It was indeed very late. This boy had been with him for a long time these past few days. He was in a growth spurt and needed plenty of sleep.
Tongtong wanted to help him investigate further, but seeing Liu Yifeng's determined gaze, he could only obediently go to bed.
After watching Tongtong fall asleep, he found himself completely unable to sleep.
Liu Yifeng sat at the computer, staring at the blurry face before him, truly unable to understand why this man harbored such animosity towards him.
