Chapter 246: Chapter 247

The following day was Friday. Ryan suggested that he take Tammy to school later during breakfast.

“May I, Anna? I’d like to do something for you. You know, maybe I’ll be staying at your house for a while.”

Anna handed him a cup of black coffee and said, “Well, you’re welcome to stay at my house forever. I still feel bad about hitting you with a car, you know. Additionally, appreciate everything you did for me. You can stay at my home as long as you like, and I’ll help you find your family later.”

Anna asked, “By the way, have you checked out any of those nearby universities? Have you visited all of them?”

Ryan froze for a moment after hearing her words. He said, lowering his head to conceal his intense feelings, “I’ve been to almost all the schools, except two art schools. It is easier than I thought.”

“Okay, I’ll go there with you this weekend.”

Ryan said while looking composed, “You don’t have to do that, Anna. I can handle those things by myself.”

Anna chose to remain silent after realizing how firm he was. However, she was still somewhat worried.

In fact, she had asked Wayne to help her investigate Ryan’s identity before. They could therefore access Ryan’s information from the database if they provided the police with his photograph and fingerprint.

However, Anna didn’t bring this up after she split up with Wayne. Ryan dropped Tammy off at school after breakfast.

The Joan Group made that afternoon the deadline for submitting bids. Anna didn’t drop Tammy off with Ryan and instead went directly to the office because it was more urgent.

In the office, Oscar, the manager of Lemon’s administration department, handed Anna the final version of the bid document and asked her to sign it.

He said, “Miss Gabriel, please take a look at that. I just had it revised.”

Anna read it carefully and found that it was excellent. She signed the document and handed it to Oscar, saying, “Well, thanks.

Can you deliver it to the Joan Group later?”

Oscar agreed right away and then said, “By the way, you mentioned earlier that you wanted someone to monitor the voting of the Joan Group. So, have you managed to find someone?”

“Well, I’ve found one.” Anna nodded as she spoke. Oscar warily asked as he observed Anna’s facial expression, “Oh! So, who is that guy?

TP HIS ‘!!! ! 49!!!Fully in Anna looked at Oscar as she scribbled a few words on the page and stated, “Oh, no, he’s a professional one. You don’t have to worry about this, Oscar. All you need to do is to get the bidding done. If the Joan Group has any input for us, please let me know.”

Oscar nodded and said awkwardly, “Okay, got it.” Anna took one more look at the door after Oscar left.

Lemon was in a critical development period, so all Anna had to do was hold on. She believed that if she made a mistake now and trusted the wrong person, it would lead to severe repercussions.

Matthew said he wanted to wait for Tammy and get to the school with her when Wayne left him off at the kindergarten. So, Wayne had to stand with him and wait for her at the door.

When Tammy arrived at the school, it was almost nine in the morning.

“Ryan! What are you doing here? Where’s Anna?” Wayne inquired unhappily after realizing that Ryan had sent Tammy here.

Ryan looked at Wayne with a fake smile and asked, “Why can’t I take her to school? I remember that you and Anna have broken up. But why are you acting like you’re still intimate with her? People might misunderstand you guys, and it’s not good for the kids.”

Wayne gave him a casual glance and replied, “I don’t think this has anything to do with you at all! By the way, why did you leave my hotel so soon? I almost called the police because I thought brain surgeons had taken you back to the hospital. Now, it appears I will have to check you back into a mental hospital, doesn’t it?”

Ryan had an imposing smirk on his face. He spoke disdainfully, “I’m currently staying at Anna’s place, and things are going well.

So, you don’t have to do anything for me.”

Wayne’s face darkened even more at that point.

Ryan left the school after he saw Tammy enter the school since he didn’t want to chat with Wayne any longer.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Wayne say to him in a gloomy voice, “I know who you are. You’re Ryan Tyler, a student majoring in detective and counter-surveillance at Military Academy, right?”

Ryan froze. He slowly turned around and saw Wayne giving him a cold glare as he surveyed him.

“Apparently, you remembered who you are. So, why did you pretend to be an amnesiac to gain everyone’s sympathy? Why didn’t you tell everyone the truth? I’m sure you’ve been staying in Anna’s house for a reason. Ryan Tyler, what do you want to do?”

Ryan laughed contemptuously again and said, “Oh, Wayne, unlike you, I don’t necessarily do everything to gain profit. Honestly, I’m by Anna’s side because I like her.”

Wayne asked more somberly, “By hiding the truth from everyone? I believe that the jail would be a better option for you.”

Ryan remained calm and said slowly, “You know someone is always keeping an eye on you. So, do you think it would do you any good to send me to the police? If I were you, I would have let me stay by Anna’s side. That way, I’ll not only protect her, but also find out what Richard did to you. Are you also wondering how he managed to take your job? He’s only been president for half a month, yet, he already doubled the group’s profit.”

Hearing his words, Wayne’s gaze became meaningful. Actually, he was well aware that Ryan was not an ordinary student. When he found out that Ryan was a student of Military Academy, he also found out the subjects he participated in and his transcripts.

As a result, he was aware of Ryan’s exceptional and highly unusual talent.

Gabe once met one of Ryan’s professors at the university. This professor said, “Ryan is a gifted investigative genius. If he puts his focus in the right place, he will be a brilliant detective. If not, he will be the best criminal ever.”

In a crime-solving contest held by his school and the criminal investigation unit, Ryan was once the first to apprehend a suspect.

He committed another crime simultaneously, making himself appear even more innocent. He got warned by his school due to this “crime.” But he also earned the credentials necessary to pursue his master’s and Ph.D. there.

“Why should I believe you?” Looking into Ryan’s eyes, Wayne searched for any hint that the man was making up stories to mislead him.

To his surprise, Ryan smiled at ease and said, “Wayne, you can choose not to believe me. Even if Anna finds out who I am, she has no reason to put me in jail. But Anna will think you’re making a big deal out of it for no reason if you put me in jail.”

Hearing this, Wayne’s expression became even more annoyed. After they remained locked in a stalemate for a while, Wayne asked indifferently, “Did you just say that Anna will be in danger? Why did you say that?”

Ryan said grimly, “I know what a man Richard is. But, you seem to know more about him than I do. He is an evil person who will do anything to achieve his goals. So, if you piss him off, he’ll do anything to get back at you. This is a matter between your family, and it has nothing to do with me. However, you can’t involve Anna in it and hurt her.”
