The waiter turned out to be the owner of the restaurant. His father lived in a room at the back of the restaurant.
PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing went to the room to find an old man looking at them agitatedly.
Xiao Yaojing pa.s.sed her phone to the old man. The old man was holding a cigarette in one hand and took Xiao Yaojing’s phone with the other. His hands were s.h.i.+vering as he took the phone.
“Sir, do you know a man who looks like this girl? His name is…” asked PA Wen softly.
“Ye Shu, Ye Shu, is she Ye Shu’s daughter?” The old man interrupted PA Wen and asked in a trembling voice.
PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing looked at each other in shock. Was this what they called an unexpected gain?
The old man gestured for his son to bring him a small box and opened the box with shaking hands. He searched the box then took out a black and white photo and pa.s.sed it to them.
PA Wen took the photo and looked at it. It was a photo of five people who looked like a family. PA Wen recognized Ye Shu immediately. Ye Yuwei was standing at the far right with a little boy and a little girl.
“Is this Nalan Chunbo’s mother?” asked Xiao Yaojing. She remembered Ye Yuwei saying that Nalan Chunbo is the son of her aunt.
“I have sent someone to look for Ye Yuwei before this, sir, but no one seemed to have heard his name, is he…” PA Wen recalled the information his men gathered from their last visit.
The old man flicked the ash off his cigarette and let out a sigh. “Well, well. Even Ye Shu’s daughter is all grown up.”
Xiao Yaojing and PA Wen exchanged looks then turned to the old man. “Can you tell us about Ye Shu, sir?”
The old man waved at his son to dismiss him. “You are that girl’s friend?”
“Yes, yes! Your son saw me talking to her on the phone, we really are friends.” Xiao Yaojing quickly explained.
“Then tell that girl to come here,” said the old man as he flicked his cigarette again.
Xiao Yaojing turned to look at PA Wen. PA Wen patted her shoulder gently and they left together after thanking the old man.
Xiao Yaojing grabbed PA Wen’s arm after they left the restaurant. “Why didn’t you let me ask further?”
“I sent people to look for Ye Shu earlier and they all came back with nothing. No one had heard the name, it was like he never existed. But why is this old man telling us about Ye Shu now?”
“But the photo can’t be fake, that’s the photo of Ye Shu and his family,” said Xiao Yaojing.
“I should ask Mr. Gu, this could be the key to what we are looking for. I wonder if the chairman has found this place,” said PA Wen as they left the place.
They didn’t get to finish their dinner at the restaurant, so PA Wen bought some food for Xiao Yaojing along the street market.
“You should thank me. You wouldn’t have found that old man if it weren’t for me.”
PA Wen was drafting his message to Gu Juexi and said indifferently, “Thank you, heroine.”
“How insincere!” Xiao Yaojing raised her leg to kick PA Wen.
“I will treat you to a feast when we get back, is that sincere enough?” PA Wen asked after sending the message to Gu Juexi. As he looked up from his phone, he saw a few men standing in front of them.
