Chapter 102: A collision with the mystery man?

“What would not be possible?”

They raised their heads and both were surprised.

Liu Jinhai?

Huian got alarmed. Did he hear everything?

Nana’s heart skipped several beats. After their kiss on that rainy night, they hadn’t met each other since then. This was the first time in days where they are properly meeting face to face.

Jinhai stared at her silently. He saw Nana nervous and fidgeting.

“Jinhai…How are you here?”, Huian asked smiling nervously.

He looked at her and said, “I came to know that you are here to meet Nana. I came to check on as well.”, He raised his eyebrows, “What were you talking about?”

“N-no-“

“We were just talking how we could turn back time and save ourselves from those people especially Miss Tang…but that would never be possible.”, Nana said seeing Huian fumbling.

Huian secretly sighed in relief.

He gazed at Nana with unfathomable emotions and slowly said, “En. That would be a great power to have, wouldn’t it? Turning back time…and stopping our past selves from doing something we would regret in the future.”

Nana slightly stiffened. Is he hinting about our kiss?

She simply smiled back.

“So, how are you feeling now Nana?”

Nana? Since when did he start calling her by only her name?

“I’m much better now, Mr. Liu.”

He nodded.

Huian started feeling uncomfortable so she said, “Jinhai, let’s go. I think Nana would like some more rest.”

His gaze didn’t leave Nana and he said, “Take care.”

She nodded.

They left her ward and after walking a short distance Jinhai collided with somebody. He had worn a cap covering his face and a black leather jacket. Jinhai was going to apologize when that man suddenly stuffed something in his hand. Before he could say anything that unknown man disappeared.

Huian realized Jinhai wasn’t walking beside her. She looked back.

“Jinhai. Why did you stop?”

Jinhai opened his fist to find a small letter…with a light floral design.

Huian saw the letter in his hand and felt as if her heart was in her mouth. She got terrified. With the last night’s incident, she had forgotten about those letters but it came again, banging back into her world.

She felt like she was going to have a panic attack.

When did…wait. That man he bumped into was the one threatening me all this time!? He came this close to us…

“Guards.”, Jinhai called out. Immediately two guards came in front.

“Boss.”

“Catch the man wearing a cap and a black leather jacket.”

“Yes, sir!”

She was scared to death when he gave that order. If he is caught and he tells everything…

“Jinhai…”

He didn’t reply and opened the letter.

Always read a document before you sign it.

Huian dug her nails deep in her palm. This was the last letter Jinhai was supposed to get after which her blackmailer claimed that he would be able to know the truth if he investigated.

Huian tried to laugh it off. “I don’t know who is pulling out such pranks.”

He stared at her, “How many times should I tell you that this is not a prank?”

She was startled. She felt as if his stare could see through her.

“Why are you always so determined to make me believe that it is nothing serious? Do you…know something?”

“N-no. It’s not like that. You are misunderstanding… “

“And I remembered now that I wanted to ask you something. You told Han Ru that a friend of yours is doing these jokes. The friend whose birthday banquet you missed. Which friend? I know all your friends, and there was no birthday banquet in the past month.”

She froze.

Shit! That stupid man rattled everything!? Now what? What should I tell him now?

He was waiting for her answer when his phone rang. He picked up to see who it was and he was surprised.

“It’s Jing.”

“Jing?”, Huian was also surprised.

“En. You wait here. I will take his call. I think he came to know everything that happened last night.”

She couldn’t believe her luck.

Thank God! Although I hate you little brother, but today you called at the right time. You saved me from his suspicion.

—

In a dark narrow alley, the man who wore a cap and black leather jacket spoke to a mysterious person on the other end.

He smirked. “It’s done. When will I get my keys?”

“They are already delivered.”

“You don’t waste any time, do you? Well, call me again if you need me.”, and he hung up.

—

Huian saw Jinhai coming back and had already planned to divert his attention by asking about Jing.

“What did Jing say?”

Jinhai sighed. “Well, he is coming back from Paris. Jing had called Dad to know how’s everyone here and he couldn’t hide it. Anyways, his stay is over too. You know he was promoted a year forward for his excellent performance in fashion designing, so he has already completed his degree.”

“Oh…yeah I remember.”, that annoying brat is coming back. Gosh!

Before he remembers about her lie, she quickly wanted to leave.

“Alright, Jinhai. You go ahead with your work. I will be with my Mom and Dad.”, she meant by Mother and Father Xiang.

“En.”

She just walked a few steps ahead when she heard Assistant Xin say, “Sir. Here’s the information on Dr. Xie. Old Madam Liu’s heart attack reports are also in there, of two years back.”

“What!?”, Huian screamed.
