Chapter 157 - Briefcase
Upon arriving at the parking lot and Huang Li approached a black car and entered it.
"Let's go." He told the driver who was waiting for him since earlier.
The driver didn't say anything, he only started driving the moment Huang Li got in.
The ride was quiet until they reached the villa located in the West of the city.
Huang Li was led by a butler to a room and when he entered the room, he saw a woman sitting in a wheelchair.
"Aunt Mu." Huang Li greeted with a small smile. "I'm glad to see you alive."
Mu Xijiu smiled back, "I'm happy to have you here, willing to help me, Huang Li. I was worried that you might reject the invitation I sent you."
"How can I?" After what happened to Shi Enxi, he was not going to sit still. It's about time to go after those who wanted her dead.
Huang Li was actually surprised when he first learned that Mu Xijiu, Shi Enxi's mother, is alive. She contacted him not long after she visited Wang Hao.
The first he wanted to do when he found out about it was to tell Shi Enxi about her mother but Mu Xijiu was against it. She only gave him one reason. "It's not time." There were so many things to take care of first, she can't involve her pregnant daughter and she needed to focus on other things first.
"I heard what happened to my daughter." She lowered her head, her eyes filled with mixed emotions of sadness and pity, "Her child is dead?"
He clenched his fists upon remembering that day, "Yes. Poison. Someone tried to poison her."
"They tried to kill a pregnant woman... They really have no forgiveness, don't they?" Rage filled Mu Xijiu's eyes as she thought of what happened and her unborn grandchild.
"Do you know the person behind it?" Huang Li inquired.
Mu Xijiu became quiet, "I only have a list of names." Of course, she wasn't sure who was the person behind her daughter's case but she already has a hunch. "I want you to investigate them.*
"I know someone who can investigate better" Huang Li didn't want to involve but... He knew that the person in his mind will definitely be going to involve himself after what happened. "I think Lu Mello will be able to help us better. After what happened, I'm pretty sure that he'll be more than willing to help us." Huang Li suggested.
"Lu Mello..." She trailed off. Shi Enxi's husband?
"He has more experience when it comes to investigating someone. I don't really have to mention you to him if you don't want to let him know about you. He'll help because we're talking about Xiao Xi."
"Then let's do it that way."
...
The more Lu Mello hid things from Shi Enxi, the more he feared of being hated. He was only doing what he thought was right. Aside from that, he still has to find a good place on where to bury his dead son. He couldn't bring himself to look at the body. His c.h.e.s.t ached whenever he thought about what happened.
Days passed, he quietly watched Shi Enxi take care of the baby he adopted for her. He would always watch them whenever he was at home and as he did, he would quietly wish that his wife will not notice anything weird... Hoping that she will not notice that the baby wasn't hers.
Lu Mello had so many things in his mind and his thoughts were being lost at that moment, inside his office. He couldn't concentrate on the doc.u.ment he was holding. He was been staring at the same page for almost an hour.
While he was thinking of ways on how to find the person who killed his son, his phone lit up and vibrated. A message popped out of the screen.
He looked at it and saw that it was from an unknown number. He opened the message and the contents were only an address of a place.
Another message followed from the same number.
[I'm not your enemy.]
He furrowed his brows. What is this?
Lu Mello tried to call the number but his call didn't go through since the person on the other line has turned off his phone.
Of course, he was not stupid enough to just blindly believe the message. What if it's a trap?
Instead of going to the place himself, he decided to order his men to check the place out.
Later that day, Tang Luo, one of his men, called.
"Boss, we have arrived in the place. It's an abandoned warehouse, there's nothing inside except for a briefcase."
"A briefcase?"
"Yes... The thing is, it is only filled with photos." Tang Luo reported.
Photos?
Lu Mello suddenly remembered the message, 'I am not your enemy.'
Was someone actually trying to help him? He couldn't help but be curious.
"Bring it here." Lu Mello ordered.
"Yes sir."
...
Tang Luo arrived and showed the briefcase to his boss.
Lu Mello. Upon seeing the photos, his eyes widened in disbelief. He was so shocked when he saw the images.
Inside the briefcase, it was filled with photos of Shi Anhao, a doctor, and a baby.
The photos were obviously taken at a bad angle but the faces of Shi Anhao and the doctor were clearly seen. The other photos inside were the photos of a baby.
At first, Lu Mello was confused. What's with the photos?
Shi Anhao? Baby?
His heart raced the more he thought about it. Could it be...
It was until he saw a photo of Shi Anhao leaving the same hospital while carrying the baby.
A sudden thought entered his mind. Could the baby be...? Could it really be...? How could it be possible?
He was in a trance.
Lu Mello quickly took the photo of Shi Anhao with the doctor. His hand trembled upon looking at it. It was the same doctor who was in charge of Shi Enxi's surgery.
