Chapter 249 - Do You Still Remember Me?

A man burly man sent by Qi Ming Wei came to pick up the couple from the hotel after breakfast. The couple entered into the BMW and soon was brought over to a dilapidated residential area. 

When they arrived, Qi Ming Wei stepped out to greet them. Zhang Yu Han exchanged a few words with the man before Qi Ming Wei turned to Li Qin Yao with a polite smile on his face. 

"When we brought him over, Mister Guo had no knowledge who we are and why we took him away," Qi Ming Wei said. "So, he may appear a bit angry when you see him. But don't worry. He won't harm you."

Her eyes widened when she heard his warning. Li Qin Yao turned to her husband and felt a bit more at ease once she saw the way he smiled at her.

"Come in," Qi Ming Wei said as he led the couple inside. He stopped once in front of a room and glanced once at the couple before he entered the room without warning. 

Just as he swung the door open, Li Qin Yao could hear a muffled scream from the inside.

Li Qin Yao took a deep breath before she followed Qi Ming Wei inside the room. The scream that she heard earlier stopped once her gaze met with the person who was tied to a chair.

It was not hard for her to recognize Manager Guo. Although that man looked a few years older than the last time, Li Qin Yao could still recognize him. After all, it was not long ago that she had seen this man in the shopping mall in Y City. 

Guo Jun Shen tried to stand up from his seat, but because he was tied to a chair, he then fell with his face on the ground. Even so, he did not tear away from his gaze from Li Qin Yao. 

Qi Ming Wei stepped forward and helped the elder man to sit up properly. Then, he untied the clothes around his mouth and cleaned up his hands with an anti-bacterial wet tissue. He looked at both Zhang Yu Han and Li Qin Yao and smiled. 

"Then, I will leave give you two some privacy," Qi Ming Wei said. "Take as long as you want. If you need anything, I will be outside."

Zhang Yu Han nodded and watched as his second cousin stepped out of the room. Then, his gaze went to his wife. He watched both Li Qin Yao and Guo Jun Shan continued to stare at each other without saying anything. 

There was an apparent shock on Guo Jun Shan's face. He knew that he had made his escape once he saw Li Qin Yao at the shopping mall not too long ago. He was sure that he had hidden his trail very well, but, how did she come and find him again?

Guo Jun Shan flinched as he watched Li Qin Yao took a step forward to him. He wanted to move and run away, but with his condition, it was an impossible thing to do.

Li Qin Yao looked around her surroundings and noted that the bedroom was turned into a makeshift interrogation room.

"Manager Guo, do you still remember me?" Li Qin Yao was the first to break the silence. "The last time we speak to each other, we were in Capital City."

Guo Jun Shan tilted his head down to avoid her gaze. "I don't know who you are talking about."

"I just need you to tell me what happened," Li Qin Yao said. "Why did you suddenly disappear? Manager Guo if you're facing some difficulties, you can tell me. I will do my best to help you."

"Miss, I am afraid that perhaps you had got the wrong person. My surname is not Guo, but Sun."

Seeing the way he continued to act dumb, Li Qin Yao was suddenly furious. "Manager Guo, you have promised me two years ago that you will testify to help me clear my name."

"Miss, I am telling you that you got the wrong—"

BANG!

Manager Guo's words were left unfinished as there was suddenly a loud sound coming from his side. As he turned towards the noise, Manager Guo was surprised to see that his bed was broken into two. It was then that he realized that Li Qin Yao did not come to meet him alone.

"Sorry for that," Zhang Yu Han smiled as he turned to Guo Jun Shan. "Mister Guo, if you refuse to cooperate, I'm afraid that I might accidentally break something else," 

The elder man swallowed as he could not look away from the broken furniture. He wanted to say something but found that his words were stuck in his throat.

Once he met the tall man's dangerous gaze, Guo Jun Shan started to tremble. He turned to Li Qin Yao and started to cry from fear and stress from being locked with those burly men for a day. The sobbing sound coming from an ȧduŀt man like him sounded so ugly.

"Miss Li, please, just let me go, alright?" Guo Jun Shan tried to plead between his cry. "The incident has passed for years. Let's just forget everything."

His request only cause her anger to rise. She stepped forward and put both hands on the table that separated both of them. "Forget everything? Manager Guo, did you know that because of your action, how many people have suffered? Some people have lost their life. There are people who have lost their family members."

"I know! I know all that! But it has been years. Let's just forget everything alright? Isn't everything going on fine the way it is now? Isn't everyone living well now? Why must you dwell on the past?"

Li Qin Yao was surprised at Manager Guo's shameless words. 

"No. I just cannot forget it. Everything and everyone who was involved in the incident might have seen fine. But things could never be the same for us again. Manager Guo, do you know how we had to live our life because of your action?"

Because of that incident, her relationship with her grandfather had changed. Every time someone was reminded of that case, they would give her an accusing gaze. She had to live with the pressure that at one point it almost drove her insane.

She remembered meeting the family members of the worker who died in the incident and how they were looking back at her in anger.

"Didn't I have received my retribution?" Guo Jun Shan suddenly shouted. "I have to live on the run like this away from my family! I could not even contact my wife or daughter! Why can't both of you just let me go?"

Li Qin Yao took a step back when he suddenly screamed at her But once she felt her husband's warm hand on her back, the fear quickly dissipated. "Manager Guo, I am not asking you to do much. I only need you to explain everything to Chairman Li. That's all I am asking."
