Chapter 162 - A Dilemma

Late in the evening,Yang Mei stood at the desk as she packed her belonging to finish her day for tonight. Though Yang Mei was here undercover,she never liked to leave her work on the next day. Thus it was late in the night by the time Yang Mei had finished her work and was ready to leave. The only other person present in the office was the Boss-CEO Knight.

Yang Mei stared thoughtfully at the closed door and compared in her mind what she had observed and investigated about the man versus what Xaio Ai had told her. The two people could have been completely different. She had seen for herself how he had spent money in the mall but then hebhad money to spend so she had paid no mind to it. But now she understood that Long Ah Hai was also invested in this relationship. This changed things. But, her face hardened as she decided,it made no difference. Getting to know Xaio Ai personally had instead strengthened her resolve to separate the couple. After all was said and done that man was still known to be a cold blooded killing machine. He would definitely someday harm her sister.

Just then,the door to his office opened and Ah Hai walked out. The two walked towards the elevator in silence and getting into he elevator,Ah Hai pressed the button for the parking while Yang Mei went to the ground floor as she would have to book a taxi.

Glancing at his watch,Ah Hai frowned and stopped Yang Mei before she could get off. "Miss Yang, it is very late already,going by a taxi is not safe. You should have ordered a company car for yourself. Please come with me."

Yang Mei was about to refuse but then thought better off it. She decided to use this chance to get to know more about this man. His gaze somehow gave her the chills. She always felt like he knew everything about her. This was not a comfortable feeling and she did not wish to prolong it.

As Yang Mei was about to open the door to the passenger side,Ah Hai's voice once again sounded,"Miss Yang. Please use the seat at the back."

Yang Mei felt her brows rise at this. She was actually amused when she thought that this tough man only allowed her sister to sit in the front with him. But still keeping her silence, Yang Mei got into the car. Only as the car drove for a while did Yang Mei realise that the CEO had not even asked for her address. Seeing he was going in the right direction,Yang Mei said nothng but continued to stare at the scenery outside the window.

Suddenly,the CEO's voice broke through the silence,shaking Yang Mei with the way he addressed her,"Shi Ai."

Nobody had called her that name in thelast so many years that suddenly hearing it had made her flinch. Eyes widening,she stared at the man in front.After looking at her through the rearview mirror,Ah Hai continued,"Miss Yang.You are already in your role.Well done. There is an envelope on the seat next to you. Please take that."

Yang Mei realized that she had been saved when Ah Hai thought that she was acting her role. Turning her head,she picked up the unassuming brown envelope but did not open it,just staring at it blankly. Finally,clutching the envelope in her hands,she asked,"What is this?"

Ah Hai was quiet at first but then after a while explained,"Miss Yang. Xaio Ai does not remember her sister or her past so you have no way of knowing anything. But this file will help you. This is a copy of the personal diary of my wife's late mother. This will give you a better understanding of the situation the sisters were in."

Yang Mei's hands started to tremble again. She had not expected this. Her mother's diary

She had not even known her mother used to write a diary. She was about to tear open the envelope when the car slowed to a sudden stop

Ah Hai  warched the girl safely enter the building before going on his way. Finally hebhad done all he could for the real Shi Ai,the rest was upto her.

Yang Mei ran into her home and throwing her purse on the couch,tore open the envelope. 

Seeing her mother's handwriting on the front gave her a feeling of happiness and nostalgia. Her fingers traced her mother's words and she read the pages while sitting on the floor. She cried at her mother's happy words and she cried at her mother's sadness.

Finally after a few hours,Yang Mei had finished reading the diary and simply sat there with her head leaning back against the couch.

Once again she was in a dilemma. Should she proceed with her own plan or not...

At another place,Shi Qinglan stood in the balcony as his assistant droned on,"Sir,the new social worker is a man called Si Ming.he has been in this field for approximately seven years and un jaded and cynical.I have done some investigation and he does have some small cases of bribery and corruption under his belt. He has already contacted our office and will be visiting tomorrow morning. The man can be easily bought off but there is a stumbling block.

He has recently been assigned an intern also. The problems with most interns is that they are idealistic and honestly zealous. But we may have this in our favor. The intern assigned to Mr Si is your niece miss Shi Xaio Ai. Since we have already investigated her background,it should be easy to divert her to get our file cleared."

But Shi Qinglan did not think that it was a good news. There was something off about the entire situation that was making him uneasy.

It seemed they had to take quick action. Taking out a pack if tablets from bis pocket,he passed it to his assistant.Start giving the girl these medicines from tonight.

The assistant looked down at the pack in his hands feeling uneasy. He wanted to ask his boss of this was necessary but knew that such a question would result in him being threatened. This medicine was a hallucinogen. Usually they would start giving this medicine to someone who was way too out of control or someone who was threatening but the girl currently in the master's hand had already given up in escape and thus he felt bad giving the medicine to her. But he would do what he had to do because a threat to Mr Shi meant a threat to him. Bowing to his boss,the assistant went out and mixed the tablet in a glass of milk before sending it off to the girl's room with a maid instructed to make the girl finish the milk.

Shi Qinglan stared at the dark night sky and though his expression remained unchanged,his eyes glimmered in the darkness. Finally the ancient key held in that jewellery set was going to be his. Those youngsters thought that they could fool him by creating these minor obstructions in his path. Xaio Ai,orphan and had no memory. What a laugh worthy joke. The moment that bracelet came to the auction, it had been an open challenge to him. They wanted to play games the  he would indulge them. He liked to play with his prey as well.

But he had to admit to himself that his dear niece was a very good actor. He,himself had believed her to be completely innocent and guileless if someone had not sent him that video of her in a fight. Shi Xaio Ai was no simpering innocent girl. She was a trained fighter. Also sometimes past records could be faked but people's memories could not. Someone had recognized her at the night of the auction. Someone who held a deep grudge against the girl for ruining his son's life and now that man would be a useful tool in bringing an end to the last blood related member of Elder Shi. And Shi Qinglan would have finally finished off his revenge of over three decades. With the death of Shi Xaio Ai, Elder Shi's unexpected hope,he would crush that man beneath his feet.
