Chapter 422 - Its The Same Place (1/2)

An Guoting pursed his lips. ”I know that it's unbelievable. Even now, I feel as if I was mistaken…”

Zizi hastily waved her hands. ”Wait, wait, wait! Let's start from the beginning. Where did you see her?”

He sighed. ”It's okay. I don't think there is any point of talking about this. Maybe, I am missing her too much these days, so my eyes played tricks on me.”

”Oof. Why are you already being so depressed about this? In all these years, you never hallucinated about her before, but now you feel as if you saw her. If I was in your place, I would have dug the whole history and geography of that place,” she harrumphed.

An Guoting couldn't help but laugh. But soon, his gaze slightly dimmed. ”It's impossible, Zizi. Yueqin... Yueqin is no more…”

He subconsciously clenched his fists in pain. He felt as if his heart was stabbed with a million pieces.

Zizi said, ”I understand that it seems impossible. But if it's really a hallucination, then why is it troubling you so much? Why can't you just forget about it?”

An Guoting could say nothing to that.

”Because somewhere in your heart, you still feel that you weren't mistaken. So, you cannot get it out of your mind. Just tell me. Maybe we can do something about it. Yunru can help you in investigating too! He is an awesome cop!”

Zizi didn't forget to praise her fiance at this chance.

An Guoting softly chuckled.

”Did you tell Caihong about this?”

”No, no. She is already occupied with Xiaosi and taking care of Chyou. I don't want to trouble her over something which might turn out to be just my misunderstanding.”

Zizi nodded in understanding.

”Shuang?”

”Not her either.”

”Then why are you letting everything in your heart?” She complained. ”If it's really a misunderstanding, then so be it. But at least, your heart would be at peace.”

An Guoting thought about it and concluded that Zizi's words made sense.

”Okay. It was a few days ago. Exactly ten days back. I was in my car, and I saw Yueqin exiting a building.”

”Did you clearly see her face? Or was it covered in some hoodie or scarf?”

”I clearly saw her face. I admit my car was a little far, but... but there is no way I won't recognize her. How should I explain...I felt as if the earth swallowed me. She just suddenly came into my sight, and I could only just stare at her in a daze. She looked left and then right and walked away. When I came into my senses, she was already far away. I dashed out of my car without a second thought and chased after her. But I couldn't find her. I ran far enough in the direction in which she went, but I never saw her again.”

Zizi asked, ”Did you ask the people around the area if they saw her?”

”I did. I showed some of them her picture, but everybody said the same thing. They never saw such a woman.”

There was a long beat of silence.

”I did ask my assistant to investigate, but he too came up with nothing. That's why I thought... Maybe I was really mistaken. But the scene of her exiting the building is still etched into my mind so clearly that I cannot shake it off.”

Zizi now noticed the faint dark circles under his eyes. She could see that he didn't have a decent sleep in days now.

”What about the building from where she came out? Somebody from inside that building would have definitely seen her.”
