Chapter 797: How Are You Related to Them?

The security guard froze in surprise and he stared at the huge wad of cash that seemed to weigh a ton in his hands.

He took a closer look at Mo Yixuan and noticed that this man looked like an important person and also seemed very rich. His clothes looked expensive and he guessed that they probably cost more than ten thousand dollars per piece.

He guessed that this man didn’t come bearing bad intentions; at the very least, he didn’t look like a criminal.

Thus, there wouldn’t be any harm revealing the address of a teacher since it wasn’t a major secret.

The security guard weighed his options and soon, he looked at Mo Yixuan and smiled warmly.

“Give me a minute, I’ll check for you,” he said as he made several calls.

He came back to the office around 10 minutes later, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and scribbled down an address.

Mo Yixuan thanked him after taking the slip of paper from him and quickly drove over to the address without a second’s hesitation.

The address stated was Unit 1902, Block 15, Lishuiwan South Court, East 4th Street, Mingshan District.

Mo Yixuan soon arrived at the address.

“Knock knock knock…” he knocked hard against unit 1902 and pressed the doorbell several times.

His heart raced as rapidly as the knocks on the door. He could even hear the beat of his heart as it thumped along to his knuckles against the door.

He prayed for the woman to be her; it had to be her.

He knocked a few more times when he saw that no one had come to open the door.

However, the door remained shut.

Mo Yixuan guessed that she was probably out or taking an afternoon nap.

It didn’t matter since he could wait for her to return if she was out; and would wake for her to awaken from her slumber if she was taking an afternoon nap.

One hour, two hours, then five hours pa.s.sed, but the door remained tightly shut.

The doors of the lift nearby slid open.

Mo Yixuan tensed and looked excitedly in the direction of the lift, his eyes full of hope.

However, he was disappointed when he saw who had been in the lift. It was an elderly couple and they seemed to be in their sixties.

Mo Yixuan watched as the elderly couple walked toward unit 1903 that was next to 1902.

Were they neighbors?

He paused for a moment and quickly frowned slightly at the thought of something. Then, he quickly rushed forward to approach the elderly couple.

“Aunty, could you know if your neighbor is a woman whose last name is Chen?” Mo Yixuan asked urgently.

He should have realized that the security guard might have given him a fake address. There might not even be anyone living here.

The elderly couple stopped in their tracks and looked at him in confusion. This man was completely unfamiliar to them and his accent marked him out as someone who wasn’t from Ming City. However, he seemed like a man who was making a decent living.

“Yes, we live beside a woman whose last name is Chen, but she isn’t the only person staying here. The occupants of this unit are a couple. Why, are you looking for them?” the elderly woman asked curiously.

She looked appraisingly at this man.

“A couple?” Mo Yixuan froze in shock.

His ears buzzed when he processed the elderly woman’s words and he felt like a rope had wrapped itself tightly around his heart.

“They’ve gone back to their hometown today and will probably only be back after the Lunar New Year. How are you related to them?” the elderly woman asked and he looked at Mo Yixuan with a mixture of suspicion and curiosity.

“I…” Mo Yixuan paused and he was suddenly at a loss for words because he was still unable to wrap his head around the fact that a couple occupied this unit.

“Oh yes, how are you related to them? Haven’t you got their phone number?” the elderly woman’s husband said and looked at Mo Yixuan in confusion.
