90 My Story (1/2)
”leaving q city wasn't all because of escaping han family. i also wanted to find my mother. she left me a month after we left the han family main house.” she started. she mentioned what she remembered on that particular night when her mother left her and promised to be back.
”xiao xiao got some information that she's here in k country though the information was a stolen one from her brother, i think.”
”i visited her secretly but...the woman i saw wasn't her. i also joined emerald to search information about her. the time when you saw me alone in that office, i was looking for some details.”
liu zijian remembered that time. it was the first time he saw her sneakily doing something alone in the c&e office. she looked so engrossed in what she was doing that didn't even notice him when he came in.
initially he wanted to threaten her but changed his mind when he saw her. she probably could not stand his interrogation thus he opt to choose to do the same thing she did to him.
since han meixiu was leaning on his shoulder, she didn't see the subtle smile visibly plastered on his face.
that was their first contact that he was fully aware.
she continued to tell him what she did together with li xiaozhi and the missing crime map in her apartment. she also mentioned the moment she met her father but when she did so, she looked at liu zijian who was listening casually as if he already knew.
”you knew it was my father?” she wanted to confirm.
”mmm.” he answered and looked at her.
she pouted a little thinking she's been fooling herself the entire time.
”so you basically know.”
”i was waiting for you to tell me.” he felt that she became somewhat down after she found out that he knew. but why?
”he's missing now.”
”wasn't he hiding?” liu zijian didn't actually further investigate her father after she said not to ask anymore about it. besides the man was clearly didn't want to be found.
han meixiu shook her head before she answered.
”mingxia visited me to ask me something. it's related to my parents. the woman i visited in a hospital before died. she wrote something that my father recognized and then after that, he disappeared.”
”why did you think she was your mother in the first place?”
”they look exactly the same. considering the age, i think she's younger. her name is wang jinyi. she was the one who worked in emerald whom i thought was my mother using a different name.”
”wang jinyi?” liu zijian pondered about the information his wife got. although he knew about wang jinyi but the fact that her father was hiding this woman was something he's not aware of.
”yeah. she drew an image using her own blood. it was as if the last message for my father.”
”how did you know it's her own?”
”mingxia told me...” realizing liu zijian's question she started to doubt. unless both han mingxia and her father tested the blood, they couldn't be 100% sure it was wang jinyi's.
what if the two were deliberately mislead? would it mean her father was really in grave danger? her cousin was also chasing the answers using the image that was drawn on the wall. would it mean she might encounter a mishap, too?
feeling the slight tremor in his wife's body, liu zijian knew she's scared and worried at the same time.
”zijian... what should we do?”
he liked what he heard.
'we'
