Chapter 129: I’ve decided

“I’m….Grandmother Meng’s client! As for what happened here, I don’t know. It was already a mess when I came.”

“Grandmother’s client?” Suyang narrowed his eyes to indicate his lack of trust towards me.

“Hi! You must be Suyang?” I lightly punched Suyang on the shoulder. That was how guys say hi, right?

“Grandmother Meng often brings you up. You’re his wonderful grandson, eh? Hahaha! I think she’s busy today so I guess I’m going to go too! Bye!”

Just as I was about to leave, Suyang blocked me.

“Wait!”

“Wait...what…?” Suyang grabbed my arm and wouldn’t let go. Then, with his other hand, he dialed a number.

Grandmother Meng’s cell phone began to ring on the table.

Alright, I admit...Grandmother Meng is missing and there’s a mysterious man in her apartment. I’m definitely very suspicious…. But what could I say? Directly tell Suyang I’m Lin Yixin? He’s going to think I’m insane! Plus, earlier I was already planning to tell Xialing I’ll leave so that everyone could remain safe…

“Have I seen you from somewhere before?”

My heart thumped. Could Suyang recognize me? No way!? We aren’t at the stage where we could see through each others’ souls yet!

“You look very familiar to me…”

Oh yeah! I am Anson now. “We” used to be childhood playmates. Although that happened years ago, there must still be some sort of resemblance. It wasn’t all that weird Suyang thought my face looked familiar.

“Most people often say I look like someone they know. Maybe I just have a face catered to the mass? Haha…” I pulled my arm out of Suyang’s grasp.

Suyang went over to Grandmother Meng’s desk and picked up her phone. Based on his expression, I could tell his brain was speculating. I wanted to silently slip out while he was focused.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Suyang’s voice rang from behind me.

“I...er… Grandmother Meng isn’t here right now. There’s no reason for me to remain here.”

“My grandma is missing and you are at the scene of the crime. You cannot leave!”

Darn it. I couldn’t even escape if I wanted to. “So what do you want?”

“Go to the police station with me! We are reporting the case to the authorities.” Suyang grabbed my collar and dragged me. He was totally treating me like a man. He was so rough!

Seeing how aggressive Suyang was acting, Xialing instantly knew I did not tell him the truth. She ran and blocked us, “What do you think you’re doing?”

I was trying to use my eyes to seek for help. I wanted her to think of a solution for us.

“Oh yes. You’re also a suspect. You must go to the police station with us.” With his other hand, Suyang grabbed onto Xialing’s pigtails and dragged us both with him.

“Think of a plan! You’re a man right now….”

“Wait! Wait! We can’t go to the police station. Let me go and let’s have a civilized chat!” I yelled. However, Suyang ignored me. I had no choice but to shout, “I -I know how to find Grandmother Meng!”

As expected, Suyang halted his steps, “What did you say?”

“Lend me your cell phone! I can find Grandmother Meng.”

I ignored Suyang’s suspicious glance as I repeated, “Give me your cell phone for a moment.”

“What are you going to do with it?”

“Don’t worry. I won’t run off with it. If you want to find Grandmother Meng, just listen to me!”

“You better tell me what you know. Or else, I swear to God you’re going to die a pitiful death!” Suyang glared at me. This was the first time he had ever threatened me so cruelly before. I was annoyed.

If you know I’m Lin Yixin, you wouldn’t behave like this! Humph!

“Alright, how about I give my phone to you, and you give me yours to make a call. Ok?” I involuntarily pushed Xialing and made her help me and Suyang exchange phones.

“You better remain in an area I could see you. If you plan to run, you’re dead! You’re a suspect!” Suyang warned.

I turned around and rolled my eyes. Then, I took Suyang’s phone and went over to a far corner where he could still see me but not hear me as I dialed my number.

Since Anson was acting as me, he must be using my phone.

“What is it, Suyang?” Anson picked up almost instantaneously. Clearly, Suyang was top priority for him.

“I’m not Suyang. Can you guess who I am? I’m the woman whom you almost sent to a mental institution. Actually, I’m a man now….” I threatened.

“You have Suyang’s phone? You went to find him?” Even through the phone, I could hear Anson gritting his teeth.

It was definitely not a good idea to piss him off. So, I decided to calm him down, “Don’t worry, I haven’t said anything to Suyang. I am making a call because I wanted to let you know I’ve made my decision.”

“You want to negotiate with me?”

“Yes. Grandmother Meng is in your hands, right?”

“Yup. That old woman is very against your relationship with Suyang. I was just lectured a big deal. She talked too much so I’m letting her sleep for a bit.”

“You can’t hurt her!”

“You think it’s up to you to decide?”
