Chapter 822
A problem that had been nagging at Yang Fan finally had a preliminary answer.
He guessed that the reason must be related to Zhou Yingnan, but due to his lack of experience in handling such matters, he did not make the deep connections that Zong Zheng did.
In his view, Zhou Yingnan moving to live in the deep mountains was not something worth doubting.
Nowadays, living in seclusion is popular online, with many people leaving the city to return to the wilderness.
Unexpectedly, the root of the problem was right in this place.
"The other party influenced Miss Zhou’s parents through some means, leading Miss Zhou step by step into that big mountain. But why go to such lengths? What is their purpose?" Yang Fan asked in confusion.
"Wouldn’t it be more straightforward to just take her?"
"Indeed, taking her would be more direct and convenient," Zong Zheng nodded with a smile. "But plucking a flower before it fully blooms means it’s not the flower they’re after. Whatever they want from Miss Zhou, their intent is to let it happen naturally before harvesting it."
"To understand their purpose, we need to start with Miss Zhou herself. Perhaps she could think carefully about whether anything special has happened around her, anything connected to her life in the mountains or decisions she’s made."
Zhou Yingnan furrowed her brows, thought for a while, then shook her head.
"I can’t recall anything, there shouldn’t be," she said. "My social interactions are quite simple: collecting herbs, selling herbs, sometimes going to the city to watch a movie, have some coffee, buy a few books. That’s it, just a small circle."
