Chapter 101
After the two went upstairs, the man who had been hiding behind the tree slowly came out.
The residential area was dimly lit, and as the gate automatically locked, the two figures disappeared from sight.
The man gestured with both hands as if taking a photo, his slightly gloomy eyes staring silently at the light in the hallway until he pinpointed the location, then he murmured something almost inaudibly.
"Found it..."
Meanwhile, his phone was vibrating incessantly in his hoodie pocket, but he seemed completely oblivious to it.
The patrolling security guard saw the strange man and shone his flashlight in their direction, but he could only see the man's back.
"Wrapped up so tightly in this heat...you're crazy..."
The security guard shook his head and only left after watching the man leave the residential area.
All of this happened without Kim Cho-wan's knowledge.
She was really tired today, and what made her even more tired was that Sung Soo Seung really started working in the kitchen.
She wanted to stop it, but somehow she was persuaded and ended up wearing an apron and working as Cheng Xiucheng's assistant.
To be precise, he just opened his mouth, while she did the work.
Looking at the oil pan in front of her, Jin Chuwan couldn't help but wonder how much longer she could endure it.
"It'll be fine in a little while. Don't just stand there, put on your heat-resistant gloves..."
Jin Chuwan did as instructed listlessly until dinner was fully prepared, at which point her resentment subsided somewhat.
Because it really looks good.
Jin Chuwan glanced at the beaming man beside her, shook her head, and went to get the bowls and chopsticks.
For the next period of time, Jin Chuwan's daily routine consisted of taking Cheng Xiucheng to work or to the hospital.
During this period, some minor incidents also occurred.
For example, some news websites began publishing news about the car accident involving the eldest son of the Cheng family.
It's mostly half-truths and half-lies, combined with some suspicions, making it sound plausible but without providing any real evidence.
Another point is about the concert that happened recently.
The popular singer disappeared from the Metro Radio after the concert. Although the company said that this was not the case, many fans insisted that the singer, who should have returned to China, did not go to the airport and inexplicably interrupted all his appearances and schedules during this period.
This incident originally had nothing to do with Kim Cho-wan, but someone happened to take photos of the star wandering near their agency before she disappeared.
It was a blurred image, and the man in the photo was clearly not in good condition. He was wearing a mask and sunglasses, making it almost impossible to see his face, but the fans insisted that he was their idol.
Kim Cho-wan was stunned for a long time when she saw the photo on her colleague's phone.
Isn't this the person who followed her and Cheng Xiucheng that day?
Moreover, his so-called poor condition was simply because he was too hot and was bending over to wipe away sweat.
Kim Cho-wan looked slightly confused.
Who is the singer mentioned in this news article?
As soon as she finished asking the question, her colleagues in the office all looked at her with exaggerated expressions.
"Seriously? This is Jin! The concert tickets we bought a few days ago sold so well because he was a guest performer. Are you sleepwalking...?"
Huang Ying waved her phone, and the others joined in the conversation with laughter for a while, but the topic quickly shifted again.
"That's how we lawyers are; we're completely focused on our work."
"But she's still attracting attention lately." LEE said, glancing at Cheng Xiucheng who was reading in the office. "Hey, which case is that client of? I saw you two leaving get off work together, don't tell me you didn't have anything going on..."
Jin Chuwan ignored the bunch of heads crowding around her and stared at the photo on the computer.
JIN……
Yin Zhihua.
Kim Cho-wan's heart suddenly started beating faster.
She seemed to have not heard the name for so long that when she came to her senses, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.
The teasing around her didn't subside because of her dazed state, but it didn't matter whether Jin Chuwan responded or not; as long as they were having fun chatting, that was fine.
Back in her office, Jin Chuwan was somewhat absent-minded. She stood by the window and glanced at the groups of fans downstairs.
To be honest, even though she didn't follow the entertainment industry closely, she had heard some news about Yin Zhihua. It was a mixed bag; on one hand, he was very famous, but on the other hand, he was very low-key, rarely participating in activities other than releasing songs or holding concerts in various places.
On the other hand, there have been rumors that he is being kept by a wealthy woman, and paparazzi photos have been leaked. Kim Cho-man knows that it is his mother, but he never comes out to clarify.
Jin Chuwan searched online for recent photos of Yin Zhihua. To be honest, he has changed a lot. The smiling silver-haired boy from back then now gives people a more gloomy and silent feeling.
And his recent photos...
Jin Chuwan watched for a while, then suddenly seemed to realize something.
She opened her phone app and scrolled back to the profile of the person who placed the order, Stray Dog.
There wasn't much information on it, but Jin Chuwan noticed YZH's personal profile and the figure of that person from that day.
Almost immediately, she held her head and sighed.
I didn't recognize him.
I didn't recognize him at all.
He has changed a lot. He has dyed his hair back and his body is much more muscular than before. He is like a completely different person compared to the thin boy he used to be.
Jin Chuwan stared at her phone screen, feeling utterly confused.
Cheng Xiucheng glanced at Jin Chuwan, who was pressing her temples, and looked up from her book.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"
"No, I'm reading your book."
"……oh."
Cheng Xiucheng's face flashed with a hint of grievance after being rebuffed, but he didn't say anything.
He told himself that he was in a bad mood because he was tired from work.
Jin Chuwan thought about it for a long time before submitting her annual leave application. After it was approved, she tidied up her recent work, said goodbye to her colleagues, and then left the company.
Cheng Xiucheng has been complaining of headaches these past two days. Jin Chuwan guessed that he might be regaining his memory, so she wanted to discuss with Cheng Ya whether to send him back to China for treatment. But strangely, she couldn't get through to him after calling him several times.
Afterwards, Jin Chuwan called Cheng Ya's assistant again. The assistant sounded tired, but still said not to worry, that President Cheng was just on a plane to go abroad and hadn't had time to answer, and that she would reply when she saw the call.
Jin Chuwan nodded and hung up the phone.
But the next second I opened the latest Business Times and checked the news about Cheng's Group.
At first glance, it seems like nothing, but the recent stock price has been a bit strange.
Jin Chuwan watched for a while. It seemed that shortly after Cheng Xiucheng's incident, the stock price suddenly surged by 5% and showed no signs of stopping. However, the problem was that Cheng's had already experienced a round of growth due to the acquisition case before this.
Something doesn't feel right.
Kim Chu-man really wanted to fly to Korea to check on Sung Ah's recent situation, but Sung Soo-seung's current condition made him very hesitant.
It would be bad if it didn't help at all and instead caused more trouble.
In any case, the priority now is to help Sung Soo-seung regain his memory as soon as possible.
But Cheng Xiucheng gave her the feeling that he didn't care at all. He seemed to be extremely used to this kind of relaxed home life, taking walks every day, looking at recipes, and putting away clothes. Yesterday, he even made a schedule for her on a whim.
They arrange exactly when to drink water, when to rest, and when to exercise.
Jin Chuwan had no choice but to take the opportunity to bring up the matter of regaining her memory with Cheng Xiucheng during dinner that evening.
Perhaps she had brought it up a lot lately, because Cheng Xiucheng became very resistant to it as soon as he heard it. He even put down his chopsticks and looked a little sad.
"Do you think I'm useless...?"
Kim Cho-man repeatedly denied it, but Sung Soo-seong persisted.
"If you don't like me, just kick me out."
Jin Chuwan was taken aback. She knew this man was a bit sensitive right now, but she didn't expect him to be so incredibly vulnerable.
"I didn't... I didn't mean that..."
Besides, this house is ultimately your family's property; if anyone's leaving, it should be her packing her bags and leaving...
"I was just asking, haven't you been having headaches lately? I was wondering if you're remembering something?"
Jin Chuwan pressed her forehead; this guy was getting harder and harder to coax.
"……No."
Cheng Xiucheng's eyes flickered as he spoke, and he seemed a little guilty.
He just felt that Jin Chuwan would pay special attention to him every time he said he had a headache, so he pretended to have one or two headaches.
Fortunately, Kim Cho-wan was thinking about something else and didn't notice his unusual behavior.
That evening, Kim Cho-wan suddenly received a call from the police, saying that they had caught the fugitive from before.
Jin Chuwan asked a few questions. She was initially worried that Cheng Xiucheng's accident was not a simple one, but after learning that it was just a regular drunk driving hit-and-run, she felt a little relieved but also a little worried.
There are still many things to deal with. Normally, the Cheng family would send someone over, but it's unusually quiet there now.
--
The next day, Kim Chu-wan and Sung Soo-seung went to the police force together. In Singapore, the punishment for first-time offenders and repeat offenders is different, but Sung Soo-seung's case was considered a first-time offender, so in the end he only received a 12-month prison sentence and some fines.
After Kim Cho-man helped Sung Soo-seung sign the papers, he immediately faxed the case results to Sung Ah.
Since last night, Cheng Ya has been unreachable. Considering that she might be jet-lagged, Jin Chuwan didn't bother her too much, only sending a few text messages.
She looked down at her phone screen and then subconsciously opened Carousell on her phone.
She still had the contact information from the previous order, and she hesitated.
But he still pressed the call button.
The continuous beeping sound in my ears.
Theoretically speaking, Yin Zhihua is now a big star, and they no longer have any contact. As for whether he is missing or not, it has nothing to do with her.
But why was he stalking her?
Kim Cho-man just wanted to figure this out.
After the start of summer, the island began to experience more rain. Kim Cho-wan stood under a beverage tent, while Sung Soo-seung took the money and went to a store to buy an umbrella.
It was sunny when I went out, but now it's suddenly raining.
There were many other pedestrians on the road who were also stranded by the rain.
The phone was still busy, and just as Jin Chuwan was about to give up, the call was suddenly connected.
There was no response from the other end, so quiet that Jin Chuwan felt somewhat at a loss.
She tried calling out.
"...Yin Zhihua?"
The man standing outside the apartment building paused, looking somewhat stiff, but he remained silent.
Uncertain, Kim Cho-wan asked another question.
"Yin Zhihua, is that you? I'm Jin Chuwan... You should still remember me, right?"
A soft laugh finally came from the other end.
Brief and ambiguous.
"That's the question I should be asking..."
"Attorney Jin, now that you have a mistress, do you still think we old friends are worthy of your attention?"
