143 Investigation (1/2)

Seeing that her daughter was still trying to flip pancakes but ends up either burning it or destroying the pancake, Guan Mei couldn't help but stop her as she asked, ”Dongmei… How about we will go to sleep already? You have been trying the whole evening. Why not attempt once again tomorrow? You already made quite nice progress.”

Dongmei put the pan to the side with an another burned pancake as she turned off the power of the electric cooker and looked sadly at her mother, saying while exhaling deeply, ”Sigh, but I really want to at least learn the basics…” Her goal was to make Wuxing impressed with her improvement but nothing was working the way she wanted.

She quickly received a pat from mother as Guan Mei assured her, ”Don't worry, this is not a skill that is required to join the Seven Stars Special Forces. Once you need it after you plan to settle with Wuxing, you can then find time to study it. I will explain the basics to you but it's not possible to master cooking in three days.” She knew it was important for her daughter but there was nothing she could do other than polishing her daughter's skills.

Dongmei could only change the strategy, quite bored with pancakes and asked, ”Alright… How about we learn how to make chocolate cookies tomorrow instead? I wish to make some for him one day… Maybe those are easier to make...”

”Uhmm, sure.” Guan Mei agreed hesitantly but seeing all the burned pancakes in the kitchen, she got a little worried for Wuxing. She didn't mind teasing her daughter as she added, ”If you hate him so much and you want to kill him, you should definitely do it.”

”Mom~! I'm not that bad okay…? Just inexperienced…” Dongmei pouted right away but seeing the mess she did in the kitchen even though her mom was instructing her nicely, she felt embarrassed and admitted, ”Well… Maybe a little… But I'm trying!”

Guan Mei smiled helplessly and hugged her daughter before comforting her again, ”Don't worry, I care about my future son-in-law. I will teach you so that you at least don't accidentally kill him.”

Dongmei this time didn't argue as she knew she was horrible with cooking and said with appreciation, ”Thank you… I only have two days as I want to travel earlier to the selection… I think that is the time Wuxing will arrive as well. I can't wait to meet him…”

”Do you even know how will he look like? Cause he is bound to change his appearance.” Guan Mei asked curiously, not knowing if they already settled it.

Falling on the sofa, tired from cooking, Dongmei shrugged and admitted with the truth, ”Actually, no, I don't know. He is supposed to find me. I can confirm if anyone is him with just a few questions so I should be good. I think he will surprise me on there.”

Guan Mei grinned when she heard that and picking up the laptop from the coffee table, she asked, ”How about we find him then?”

”Huh? How?” Dongmei asked confused but then saw her mother sit next to her and quickly open a special program with a logo of a Police in the login screen. With a smug on her face, Guan Mei logged into with her own passes and asked back, ”You think I wouldn't have the access to the Police's Database at such high position? If you want, I can even get Seven Stars information if needed. We should be able to find him quickly if he was active in the last few days.”

Dongmei's eyes brightened momentarily and she hugged onto her mother to see more of the screen and starred with her almond coloured eyes at it. ”Oh! Let's check it then. He should still be in Badu City. Maybe he did something naughty there. I doubt he would stay in one place for the whole four full days.” She called out hurriedly, excited to find her love which she missed so much.
