“We suspect that this is something your father left behind when he was teaching in a rural area, so he brought it back. This is also the only thing we can find that is related to your father so far.”
Mu Xiaocheng listened to Liu Qin's words and then looked down at the scraps of paper in her hand.
"But, it's also possible that it isn't, right?"
Liu Qin nodded, crossed his hands, and placed them on the table.
"Miss Mu, there are some things I know you understand."
"Your father's disappearance was not an accident. Someone did it on purpose. Moreover, someone has been secretly destroying traces so that you can't find him."
"So, Ms. Mu, we've been working together for over a year. As a friend, I want to advise you to give up. Continuing like this will put you in danger. As for what's behind this, I think it could be fatal for all of us."
After listening to Liu Qin's words, Mu Xiaocheng nodded and put the paper into her bag.
“I know. Many people have said similar things to me, but… for my mother, and to find an answer, I will continue to investigate.”
"Sigh~ Why did you do this to yourself!"
Liu Qin sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said seriously, "Since you insist, I won't try to persuade you anymore. But this investigation has encountered great resistance from my team and me, so, Ms. Mu, I'm sorry, we... are powerless to help with your case. Thank you for your trust in us all this time."
Mu Xiaocheng is a smart person. She also knows that the detective agencies that gave up cooperating with her in the past probably had the same concerns as Liu Qin.
Fortunately, Liu Qin persisted in working with her for so long.
Mu Xiaocheng forced a smile, still looking exceptionally beautiful.
"It's okay. I'll transfer the remaining balance to you in a bit."
Liu Qin nodded, then stood up: "Then, goodbye, Miss Mu."
"Hmm." Mu Xiaocheng nodded, staring at the water glass on the table, but her heart felt increasingly heavy.
She ordered a black coffee, sugar-free and milk-free.
Mu Xiaocheng picked up the cup, tilted her head back, and drank the coffee in one gulp.
My heart is filled with bitterness.
Yeah, it's really bitter.
The intense bitterness roused Mu Xiaocheng once again, and she got up to go to the bank next to the coffee shop.
After transferring the final payment to Liu Qin at the counter, Mu Xiaocheng had just stepped out of the bank when she noticed it was raining outside.
Winter rainfall is not plentiful, but there are often light drizzles that don't stop for a while.
And today's rain is quite heavy.
The temperature outside dropped suddenly.
Mu Xiaocheng wrapped her down jacket tighter around herself. Why did it start raining?
She was figuring out how to get to her car across the street when she received a text message.
It was sent by the bank.
"Your bank card ending in xxx has completed a transfer of xx, with a balance of 5210.99 yuan."
She already knew when I transferred the money, and now I have to remind her again. It's like...when it rains, it pours.
Mu Xiaocheng felt a little sad. After transferring hundreds of thousands of yuan for the final payment, she was poor again.
She puffed out her cheeks and took a deep breath.
It's okay, we'll have the money eventually.
Mu Xiaocheng looked at the rain and was about to run across the street to get her car in the rain.
But I saw it all through the hazy rain.
Among the passersby, a man in a black coat, holding a black armrest, was walking towards her step by step.
The man was tall and handsome, with long legs and a steady gait. Even in the rain, he showed no signs of dishevelment; he remained elegant and captivating, drawing all eyes to him.
At that moment, it was as if everything around us had stopped.
