528 Willing To Help (2/2)

With that statement, she went out of the private room leaving Ying gaping in disbelief. She looked at Zhou Jinhai and said, ”You really know how to ask for a favor, eh?”

”Last time, you said that if I asked for it, you won't be able to help. But I believe you can't refuse your grandmother.”

Ying sighed before taking the seat which was originally occupied by her grandmother and faced Zhou Jinhai. ”It's weird that when you have the favor of my grandmother, you're still looking for me? Don't you think Shania Chuan is more resourceful than her rebellious and useless granddaughter?”

”The world might not know but I certainly know how resourceful you are.”

Ying poured herself a cup of tea and drank it one go as if she was drinking water. As she eased her parched throat, she looked at Zhou Jinhai and asked, ”Alright then Jini, what's up? How is it that I'm more useful than my own grandmother. I'm very curious to hear this favor of yours.”

As Ying listened to his request, her brows couldn't help knitting up. Her fingers were tapping on the tabletop while her eyes looked at him with a complicated expression.

”Do you have to go this far?” questioned Ying after she heard him clearly. ”She is already dead. Why are you...” She hadn't yet completed her sentence when Zhou Jinhai placed a velvet pouch on the table. Ying eyed it before she took it and spilled out the content. But as soon as she looked at the content, her eyes widened. ”This... Is this a coincidence?”

Zhou Jinhai turned the bracelet and showed her the carving saying, ”Can this also be just a coincidence?”

Ying's whole world view suddenly shook violently. Looking at that very familiar bracelet, Ying was left speechless for a long while. Zhou Jinhai didn't disturb her since he had expected this reaction. He could tell she needed time to accept this situation.

”Jini...” she started in a low voice. ”Are you sure this belongs to Chen Xiu?”

Zhou Jinhai shook his head, ”I'm not sure. But the only way to be sure is to find her mother. I can't find her, that's why I need your help. Because, if this really leads to what I have in mind, then...” He didn't complete his sentence and Ying didn't want him to either.

”You should have gone to Zizi,” said Ying.

”I don't want to poke Uncle Zimen right where it hurts him the most.” Ying nodded in reply and stayed quiet. ”So? Are you willing to help now?”

Ying lifted her eyes and said, ”Now, this is something related to me very closely. There is no way I'm gonna back off.”

”That's what I thought,” stated Zhou Jinhai before taking another sip of his tea.
