Xia Zhichu uttered an "ah," wiped her tears, and approached, "Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
Si Mochen shook his head, "No, come and keep me company."
Xia Zhichu moved closer and sat opposite him, and the two could clearly see each other's eyes.
"What did you want to tell me on the rooftop?"
As an elite figure in the business world, Si Mochen has an excellent memory. He has deeply engraved every word Xia Zhichu said in his heart.
When Shen Liang mentioned the jade pendant, Xia Zhichu clearly looked very interested, with a starlight in his eyes that he could not understand.
Six years ago, Si Mochen discovered that Mr. Si was investigating the jade pendant, so he asked Yan Sen to investigate the matter in depth. However, after he was injured, the matter was left unresolved.
If Chen Liang hadn't mentioned it again today, Si Mochen would have probably forgotten about it long ago.
He was very curious about the story behind this jade pendant that made Xia Zhichu value it so much.
Xia Zhichu pursed her lips and said, "Let me tell you a story."
Recently, she seems to have fallen in love with storytelling. She uses the story of the boat to enlighten Chu Tiantian, and uses the story to explain her childhood memories with Si Mochen.
Si Mochen said okay.
Xia Zhichu smiled and began to talk, "Once upon a time, there was a girl whose parents were arguing in the street and ignored her. It was raining heavily that day, and the girl was terrified as she stood in the silent and deserted sea of rain. She kept waiting for her mother to come and take her away, but she waited and waited, and her mother never came."
"The girl was afraid of being abandoned, so she squatted on the side of the road and cried. Then a car appeared in front of her, and a very handsome older brother got out. He held out his hand and asked her why she was crying. The girl said she was scared because she couldn't find her mother. The older brother asked her to get in the car and said he would help her find her mother."
"The girl followed her big brother away, but her mother never showed up. The girl stayed in a beautiful big villa to play with her big brother."
"The girl was so happy that she didn't even want to leave. She wanted to be with her big brother forever. But then her mother showed up and took the girl away. Before leaving, the big brother gave the girl a jade pendant with a dragon and phoenix pattern. The girl also made a grasshopper out of straw and gave it to her big brother."
"After that, the girl returned home. Her gambling-addicted father saw the jade pendant on her and snatched it away from her. The girl refused to give it to him, so he pushed her away. The girl hit her head on a rock and lost her memory."
"It wasn't until six years ago, when the girl was in danger on the mountain and on the verge of life and death, that she dreamt of her childhood and recalled this memory. She discovered that the big brother she had been looking for was actually her husband. Unfortunately, due to some unavoidable difficulties, the girl had already separated from her husband. Thanks to these memories, the girl survived, just to meet her husband again one day and say a few words to him in person."
"Big brother, I finally found you."
At this point, the story came to an end, and Xia Zhichu was already crying.
Si Mochen looked deeply at the woman in front of him. How could he not know that the heroine of the story Xia Zhichu was telling was herself.
As for the eldest brother, it was him.
Six years ago, while lying on the operating table, Si Mochen also frequently had the same dream, but the dream was very vague and he could not see the girl's face at all.
It turned out that the girl was Xia Zhichu.
Xia Zhichu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled. "I'm afraid you've forgotten all this, but I will remember it for the rest of my life. Si Mochen, the jade pendant that Chen Liang mentioned is the one you gave me that year."
Si Mochen knew that the jade pendant was a treasure that Grandpa Si discovered when he was serving in the army. He later gave it to his grandmother, who then gave it to Si Guangxu.
Later, Si Guangxu gave it to his mother, and his mother eventually gave it to him.
I didn't expect that the jade pendant was stolen by Xia Ganggang and traded in the casino.
Si Mochen felt that it was necessary to investigate the matter thoroughly and get the jade pendant back.
He couldn't wipe Xia Zhichu's tears, so he could only kiss them dry with his lips.
Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "Since it is something I gave you, I will definitely get it back with my own hands."
Xia Zhichu nodded.
This is a memory belonging to the two of them and must not be lost.
Si Mochen quickly called Yan Sen over. When Yan Sen heard that Si Mochen was looking for the jade pendant, he hurriedly reported his previous investigation.
"After you were injured and fell into a coma, I had people investigating this matter. The whereabouts of the jade pendant had actually been known for a long time, but you lost your memory later, so I forgot about it."
Xia Zhichu asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
Yan Sen: "At that time, many people were investigating the whereabouts of the jade pendant. In addition to Mr. Si, there was also Si Yunxiao. Later, we followed Si Yunxiao's people to trace back and found that the jade pendant was on an old man. As for that old man, you are not unfamiliar with him, it is Wei Jianfa.
Xia Zhichu didn't know who Wei Jianshefa was.
Si Mochen personally explained to her, "Wei Jianfa is Si Yunxiao's godfather, the leader of the most powerful dark organization in Jincheng, and the mortal enemy of Mr. Si when he was young."
Si Mochen explained the grievances and hatreds between the two old men, including Si Yunxiao's life experience. After hearing the end, Xia Zhichu realized that Si Yunxiao was also a poor man.
No wonder after returning to the Si family, he couldn't wait to snatch everything from Si Mochen and even pinned the identity of the illegitimate child on Si Mochen. It turned out that he had a twisted mind and wanted to use this method to retaliate against Si Mochen and let Si Mochen taste what he had experienced.
This kind of person is really despicable!
"Since we know the jade pendant is in Wei Jianfa's hands, find a way to get it back."
This is a token of trust given by Si Mochen to Xia Zhichu. Even if it is to be returned to the original owner, it belongs to the Si family. Wei Jianfa has no right to take it for himself.
Yan Sen nodded. "I'll find a way, but Wei Jianfa is not easy to deal with. He's been rampant in Jincheng these past few years. Unless we confront him head-on, it will be difficult to get him to hand over the jade pendant."
Si Mochen naturally knew it.
The reason why Si Yunxiao was able to gain a foothold in Jincheng so quickly in recent years was also due to the influence of Wei Jianfa.
It is simply impossible to make Wei Jianfa spit out the jade pendant easily.
Si Mochen thought for a moment and said, "Although Wei Jianfa is very powerful in Jincheng, he doesn't dare to act too openly. I suspect he's doing something shady behind the scenes. Follow this line of inquiry and see if you can find any evidence of Wei Jianfa's crime. As long as you have leverage, there's no need to worry about Wei Jianfa not handing over the jade pendant."
"Of course, if we take down Wei Jianfa, Si Yunxiao will be like losing his wings. We can keep him here and deal with him slowly."
As he said this, Si Mochen's eyes flashed with a cold light.
When Xia Zhichu saw Si Mochen's unfamiliar eyes, he had a strong premonition that Jincheng would not be peaceful in the future.
Yan Sen understood and replied, "I'll do it right away."
Si Mochen nodded.
