Chapter 14: Died with Babies in Her Belly (1/2)
Translator: Mia
It hurt so badly that Sheng Youting leaned against the wall and pressed his hand to his forehead.
It was after reading Yu Lan's love and hatred written in the letters before he knew that during the past 11 years, he wasn't a bystander of Yu Lan's love at all. He actually participated in it and had played an important role.
She spent all her time on him, from her girlhood to adulthood. At first, she was naive and looked at him with brightly shined eyes but later she distanced him gradually and began to act timidly. Finally his indifference was like sharp knives, dismembering her love and affection step by step. She turned into another him and became more and more indifferent.
He sent her himself to the guillotine of love.
However, with her once love in hands, his heart ached badly.
Sheng Youting left Lanlinyuan and drove to Number one, Nanfu.
He was here for Jing Shenxing. Sheng Youting went into the room and said to him directly, ”I want to thoroughly investigate Yu Lan's traces again.”
Jing Shenxing closed the door and frowned. He was puzzled and asked Sheng Youting, ”Haven't you investigated her last time? However, no record is found.”
Sheng Youting grabbed a cup, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it up, ”No. This time I want to investigate Meng Shaoqian. They disappear together. They must have changed their identities.”
”What?” Walked to Sheng Youting in quick steps, Jing Shenxing continued, ”Yu Lan has eloped with Meng Shaoqian?”
It was the last possible fact that would be admitted by Sheng Youting. His face turned sullen all at once, seeming to warn Jing Shenxing to mind his words.
Jing Shenxing got his message and waved his hand, ”I'm just joking. All know that Yu Lan loves you. How come she suddenly moved by Meng Shaoqian's honeyed words and went with him?”
Jing Shenxing knew that Sheng Youting had been like an active volcano throughout the year and was about to erupt at any time. It had a lot to do with Yu Lan's leave.
Or else how come he turned into another person? He rejected all friends reunion meetings. All that in his mind was to earn money. He was like a robot.
Sheng Youting replied, ”Inform me about your progresses and don't ignore any trivial clue.”
”OK. Be at ease. All detailed information from a person's birth to death can be found in our system. There must be traces.”
After leaving the Number one, Nanfu, Sheng Youting got very anxious and his anxiety grew as days went by.
It became a routine of Sheng Youting to look through Yu Lan's letters everyday.
A scene kept appearing in Sheng Youting's head. In the scene, Yu Lan kneed down in the ruins. She was moving rocks bare-handed while crying his name out...
Once those uncertain things confirmed, he became persistent.
What Sheng Youting wanted to do now was to find Yu Lan out. In the past 11 years, Yu Lan gradually became part of his body. She now stayed firmly besides his heart. Not a single error was allowed.
It was not until recently before Sheng Youting knew that he was afraid of pains. Therefore, the blood-shedding wound left by her would get better and recovered. As long as she was still there, he wouldn't ache again. He was a selfish person and was desperate to find her out!
One week later, Sheng Youting received a call from Jing Shenxing. Jing Shenxing said in a hurry, ”Youting! Come to number one, Nanfu! Be quick!”
Not a single moment was delayed after he had received the call. He knew Jing Shenxing must have found traces.
