In the blink of an eye, another afternoon passed. Along with the gradual increase in age, Tao Tian had already discovered some clues. Although this was only the first step in his journey of 10,000 miles, Tao Tian was already satisfied to be able to proceed so smoothly.

"An Xin, how are you doing?" When it was time to get off work, Sandy walked past her with her bag and asked, "It's time to get off work."

"Oh, I still have some things to take care of. Sis Sandy, you should leave first. I'll go back when I'm done." Tao Tian didn't even raise her head. She wanted to take advantage of everyone getting off work to memorize all the unusual places in the accounts and make adequate preparations for the next step.

"Young man, you really put your life on the line." Sandy nodded in satisfaction. "Then remember to go home early. I'll leave first." Sandy smiled, then turned and left.

"Oh, see you, Sister Sandy." In truth, the reason why Sandy had given her this job was just to test Tao Tian's true abilities. She hadn't thought that it would end up with 'Zhou Yu beating the weasels, one after the other, willing to take the risk'. On the other hand, Tao Yao was happy to do this unsubstantial job.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Tao Tian unexpectedly became braver as he fought. He did not feel the slightest bit tired.

"Miss, are you going to stay the night?" Unknowingly, Ning Zhiyuan had already quietly stood by her side and knocked on her table, smiling as he spoke.

"Manager Ning." Tao Tian narrowed his somewhat tired eyes, but he still didn't raise his head.

"Okay, there's no one else here. You call me strange this way? Furthermore, looking at your face, I also feel that it's strange." Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Brother Zhiyuan, I've probably found some problems. When you and Qing Qing come to my house for dinner one day, I'll explain in detail to you." Tao Tian looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. Only then did he relax and speak softly.

"Oh? "You really put in a lot of effort. Qingqing is also following suit. Don't worry." Ning Zhiyuan was gratified that Tao Tianyi was much more mature than his little sister from before, who could only rely on her brother.

"Then tell Qing Qing to be careful. Whether she can find anything, she has to ensure her own safety." Tao Tian was well aware of the dangers of the Tao Residence, so he naturally couldn't be at ease.

"Got it, I found out that you've been really long-winded ever since you became a mother." Ning Zhiyuan joked, "Alright, Sanlang, it's been a few hours since you got off work. Your baby is still waiting for you to come home, so I'll allow you to take the rest of your work home to do." Ning Zhiyuan knocked on the table, looking like a leader.

"Alright, Manager Ning." With a smile on his face, Tao Tian stood up and began organizing his things.

"How are you going to get home?" Do you want me to drive you? " Ning Zhiyuan turned around and asked Tao Tian while he helped him carry a large stack of documents.

"No need. Go back quickly and accompany Qing Qing. It's very convenient for me to take the subway. It's just ahead." Tao Tian raised his hand and pointed at the subway station not far away. He then took the documents from Ning Zhiyuan and was about to bid him farewell.

"It's really too late for that." Ning Zhiyuan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, if bad people meet me, she'll be the one to be in trouble." Tao Tian smiled and said.

"Alright, alright. I know you're amazing. Be careful then. I'll go back first." Ning Zhiyuan knew that he wouldn't be able to change Tao Tian's mind as long as he let her.

"Alright, goodbye. See you tomorrow." Tao Tian waved goodbye to Ning Zhiyuan before heading towards the subway station.

When she stepped out of the subway station, it was already dusk. She knew that Auntie Zhong and An An were already waiting for her at home for dinner. Fortunately, everything was filled with hope. She hoped that all her efforts would bear fruit.

"Aunt Hui, An An, I'm back." Tao Tian shouted as he pushed open the door.

"Mommy, why did you come back so late?" Hearing Mommy's voice, An An hastily ran over and threw herself into Tao Tian's arms.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mommy started work today, so much work." Tao Tian held An An's small face and gently kissed it.

"Come on, Yao, wash your hands and eat quickly." Auntie Zhong smiled as she stood up. "The food is getting cold."

"Oh, okay." Tao Tian put down the thick documents and walked into the bathroom with An An …

"Quick, let me see what delicious food there is today." After washing her hands, Tao Yao brought An An out of the bathroom and went straight to the dining table.

"Wow, it's actually so sumptuous!" Tao Tian looked at the table in surprise.

"Oh, the supermarket is down today." Auntie Zhong said unnaturally.

"Really?" Tao Tian couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true! Would I lie to you?" Auntie Zhong replied with a smile. She did not want Tao Tian to see what was so special about her.

"Since it's such a cheap thing, then I won't be polite." As Tao Tian spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to heartily eat. I have to eat faster. There are still some materials that I haven't finished processing, so I brought them all to my house. " Tao Tian mumbled as his mouth was filled with food.

"Good, good, good. I've never seen anyone fight as hard as you." Seeing Tao Tian happily eating without delving too deeply into the source of these ingredients, Auntie Zhong relaxed and looked at Tao Tian with concern.

"Oh yeah, Aunt Hui, I have a question to ask you." As Tao Tian ate, he loudly asked, "Don't mind me, I'm just … That is … I just want to know more. " Tao Tian timidly said.

"No problem, ask away." Hearing Tao Tian's opening remark, Auntie Zhong had already guessed a few things, so she replied with a face full of smiles.

"When you were at Tao's house, I meant that year." Tao Tian carefully worded his words, "Did you find any hidden traps in the Tao Family? Haven't you seen my grandfather once before?" Tao Tian asked the questions that had accumulated in his heart for a long time. Afterwards, he carefully waited for Auntie Zhong's reply.

"Is that so? Let me think." Auntie Zhong had expected Tao Yao to ask her questions about the Tao family, so she didn't feel displeased. After all, the Tao family had caused the death of her eldest son. Naturally, she hated them to the bones.

"If it's strange, it seems to be that study room. I remember one time when Tao Junting said he wanted to go to the study room to busy himself and tell me not to disturb him, I went to sleep first. Actually, I never had the habit of waking up at night, it's just that I ate a lot of ice cream that night, so I had a very uncomfortable feeling in my stomach when I slept. But when I came back from the toilet, I discovered that the light in the study was actually on. I curiously looked through the gap in the door and found Tao Junting was sitting at the desk and diligently reading the information. At that time, I thought I was seeing things.

"Also, I remember when Lei Haotian suppressed the Tao family to the point where they couldn't recover, but the Tao family still seemed to have a steady flow of funds that didn't come from their accounts. I really don't know where the funds came from," Auntie Zhong said as she meticulously tried to remember everything.

"Also, Tao Junting has two assistants, one called 'secretly' and the other called 'opium poppy'. They aren't helping in the company, but they seem to be working non-stop. Also, most of the people in the company don't know about this, so I heard about it while he was unaware of it." Auntie Zhong paused and thought for a while. "Yes, I can think of that for now."

"Then what about Grandfather? You never once told me about Tao Weiguang? " Tao Tian didn't give up and continued to ask. In this way, Tao Tian always felt that there was something strange about his grandfather.

"To be honest, the reason I was able to enter the Tao Clan was because of Tao Junting's extraordinary methods, so we didn't even have a wedding," Aunt Zhong unconsciously lamented her fate, "But in the few years I've lived in the Tao Clan Mansion, not only have I never seen your grandfather, I've never even heard of him from Tao Junting."

Auntie Zhong said confidently. Speaking of her grandfather, she was also very interested and wanted to get to know him.

"Eh, that's strange." Because in fact, when Tao Weiguang walked up to the stage, Tao Tian was still in his infancy. There were many things that he couldn't remember clearly.

Looking through the information from those years ago, Tao Yaodong discovered that at that time, Tao Junting had managed to run the entire Tao clan to the end of their road. A large number of debt cases and his wife's escape had put him in a dead end, and then, suddenly, behind the scenes appeared Tao Junting's father, who was also Tao Tian's grandfather, Tao Guang1. In other words, in the Tao Junting era, Tao Weiguang's identity as the Old Master was known to almost no one.

However, with his age, he indeed had some ability and courage. Under his guidance, he was able to sort out the previous accounts, and it was at this time that the desperate Tao family came back to life. Tao Tian and Tao Ran entered the Tao family, and were gradually trained to become Tao Weiguang's secret killer to help him become a tyrant.

In other words, in terms of time, Tao Junting and Tao Weiguang never appeared before everyone at the same time. This attracted Tao Tian's attention and suspicion.

"Aunt Hui, based on what you said, I started to doubt the authenticity of grandpa. Maybe he isn't Tao Junting's father at all." Tao Tian frowned. He always felt that there was something fishy when he combined Auntie Zhong's words with the information he had previously looked at.

"Indeed." Hearing Tao Tian's words, Auntie Zhong also felt that something was off.

"Forget it. I'll think about it slowly. I'll go and get the unfinished materials from today. Aunt Hui, these bowls and chopsticks …" Tao Tian looked somewhat embarrassedly at Auntie Zhong.

"Okay, okay. Got it. Go back to your work and leave it to me, my young lady." Auntie Zhong jokingly placed her hand on Tao Tian's shoulder from behind.

"Then I won't be polite." With that, Tao Tian rushed into his own room and began the unfinished business of the day …

"Grandma," little An An uneasily circled around the busy Auntie Zhong.

"What's the matter, An An?" Auntie Zhong lowered her head and asked.
