Chapter 379 - The Life She Took (1/2)

The race was on… Who would be the first to find Professor Petrovich. Will it be Lord Knightley who has all the resources, Yun Shen who Professor Petrovich promised to help or Elizabeth, who has gained some of her memories about the man. However, will the memories she recovers be enough for her to find his current whereabouts or will it only lead her to a dead-end?

Yun Shen was on his way back to China hoping that the girl has return home as well. She has no identification and even if she does forge one, it will only make it easier for them to find her and catch her. This means; she'll return home and look for one of her friends, who can help her make a fake identification for her… That is why Yun Shen thought she would return to China since her current friends are her. Plus, Lord Knightley will surely have gained control over her friends in the west.

However, Yun Shen found everything a bit suspicious. Lord Knightley has not done anything to intervene as if he already knows the girl's current location.

”Tell me, has there been any news of Li Zi contacting her friends?”

”Chairman Yun, I've sent men to follow Miss Li Zi's classmates and family. It's been days and I don't see Miss Li Zi ever planning to contact them.”

”Are you sure?” Yun Shen frowned confused as to why things aren't going according to his plans. ”She needs money, she needs her identification…”

”Chairman Yun, I really don't know what Miss Li Zi is thinking. Maybe she is still back on the island and has not made her way out.”

”Impossible, someone like Li Zi could fool any man and they would pity her. With a face like that, who wouldn't pity her.”

”Then… Chairman Yun, what should we do?”

”Continue to observe her friends. I'm sure she'll contact them soon.”

As his subordinate left his office, he came walking in was Li Yefeng who seems upset about something.

”First Bro-”

Without any warning, Li Yefeng punches Yun Shen in the face causing him to lose balance and fall back a few steps.

”F***! You Shen! I mean, was all of this necessary? We thought you and Li Zi were dead, I didn't expect you'll go this far just for what? Shen, she's not by your side still and she'll never be… Have you really lost your mind for a woman? Shen, your mother has been crying in her bed for months, she is in the hospital now because of you! Chairman Yun has been searching all over the country for you! G** D*** it! Weren't you upset that your grandfather is wasting his time looking for a dead person whom you can't find? Yet here you are adding to your grandfather's pain. What the hell were you thinking?!”

Those cold words coming out of Li Yefeng mean nothing to Yun Shen. His heart has turned into stone and has gone blind because of love. He does not care what others think all he wants is to be with the girl.

What they said about love can make a person blind and do crazy things. That is what Yun Shen is currently experiencing. He was willing to do crazy things for a woman whom he loves but is unsure if the woman still loves him back.

”Shen, did you even think of how Xiaotong will feel? Shen, he let you have Li Zi but why must you let him suffer as well. He left you to go with her and he gave Li Zi her freedom to go with you but you didn't have to make him suffer. You can even cause the Zhao family to go insane. I know Lord Knightley knows where Li Zi is and is keeping a blind eye and ears on everyone including his family because of you. But, why? Was it all that necessary?”

”You don't understand?” Yun Shen responded blankly as if his soul was not intact with his body.

”What don't I understand? Are you saying I don't know what it means to love someone so badly? Shen, we have all been there… We all have loved someone so much that we are willing to do all sorts of crazy sh*t! But, to even cause so much pain to your own family and best friend… B***S***! You've gone too far!”

”It's because she needs to pay for the life she took from me!!!” Yun Shen went wild and pushed Li Yefeng aside.

”What are you talking about? Li Zi saved Little Yan before, she saved Little Yan more than we can even think of. Yet, you're saying she needs to pay the life she took from you. Li Zi has not done anything like that. Shen, Li Zi did but Little Yan in danger before but she saved Little Yan and nothing happened. So, why must you do something so extreme?”
