4 I Have Concentrated Sulphuric Acid In My Hand (1/2)

The girl sitting beside them kept quiet. She listened to their entire conversation in silence.

Mo Han looked at this pale girl, still clothed in her hospital gown. Clearly, she had just escaped from the hospital. In a diplomatic fashion, he smiled at her. ”Miss, you now know the truth. Even though you could say it comes down to our staff's oversight, but really, I'm sorry. I honestly do not know you.”

”Where's your family? You can give them a call, or, if you know their address, I can get him to send you there.” Mo Han looked at her pale face and her skinny body. He felt sympathy for her; she was likely still a student.

The girl replied, ”I've lost my memory. When I woke up in the hospital, I didn't know anything. I've asked the nurses, but they said that you were the only person who I've been in contact with at the hospital.”

Her voice was raspy and low. When she said that, her face appeared calm and expressionless.

Maybe it was the fact she remembered him, and knew nothing else, that resulted in such a silence.

Mo Han felt somewhat moved. He could not help but be curious about her. He pointed to Liu Zhiyuan who was standing, dazed, in the doorway. ”In a little while, let him send you to the police station. The police should be able to help you find your family.

”You seem quite young so I figure you must be a student. We'll check with the different high schools and universities in the city. I believe we should be able to figure out who you are.”

Mo Han's sentence was abruptly interrupted. ”I don't want to go to the police station. Can you temporarily... take me in?”

He froze, along with Liu Zhiyuan, who was feebly attempting to hide his presence. They both stared at the girl in shock.

Had he heard things correctly? She was actually going to ask the venomous-tongued Barrister Mo to take her in? When had his boss ever been so kind!?

As he had expected, Mo Yan laughed and told her, ”Sorry, young lady. I don't have any special desire to take in a stranger who has nothing to do with me.”

As Liu Zhiyuan was about to lead the young lady of unknown origin out, there was a sudden commotion outside the door. It sounded like many people shrieking in a noisy commotion. Mo Han heard Anna's anxious voice.
