Based on the clues provided by Baby Chu, a vague outline of face appeared in Gu Jinglian’s mind. However, he could not recall interacting with such a woman before.

Short hair?

This alone eliminated any guesses he had.

None of the women he slept with had short hair!

He liked women with long black hair that reached their waists. Hence, none of the women he slept with sported short hair.

She was tall and skinny. If she worked as a police officer, it meant that she fought quite well.

However, to Baby Chu, she might not be as high as he thought. Comparatively speaking, the concept of “very tall” to a child was about 1.5 to 1.6 meters.

Most importantly…

Previously during the DNA testing at the police station, such a person did not show up in the DNA database.

This meant that this woman had not been registered in the system.

Those unregistered personnels shared a few characteristics.

Either she had been missing for too long and her household register had been revoked, or she had a special identity. For instance, she was an undercover soldier, an agent, a spy or an assassin.

Wait… A spy?

A thought suddenly flashed across Gu Jinglian’s mind. He furrowed his brows tightly. In his mind, the image of a woman’s cold expression briefly surfaced…

She had long black hair that draped over her shoulders. Her facial features were exquisite and her eyes were cold. Every single action of hers exuded a dignified aura that no other average women possessed.

She had no name, only a code name—Vermillion Bird.

Vermilion Bird was the highest-ranking counter-terrorist officer in the Interpol.

Could it be her?

Gu Jinglian no longer had a clear memory of what that woman looked like. However, he could vaguely tell that her exquisite facial features seemed to match Baby Chu’s child-like face.

Gu Jinglian fell into a momentary trance.

Six years ago, this woman was arranged to stay by his side as an undercover spy.

Back then, when he first stepped up to his role, he was extremely ambitious. In order to expand his territory, he was unscrupulous and ruthless, offending many major forces. The Gu family’s power continued to expand. Due to their transnational sale of military artillery, they even started to build two weapon factories in Vietnam and North America. In the end, their actions alerted the Interpol.

However, the Gu family had informants all over the capital back then. With the added protection of the government, the Interpol could not do anything to him.

At that time, Vermillion Bird worked in the counter-terrorism unit. She was sent on a mission to infiltrate the Gu family as an undercover agent. Through her methods, she got close to him and was about to carry out an an assassination plan.

However, as her identity was exposed, the assassination failed and the Gu family sent people to hunt her down. Eventually, she managed to escape and her subsequent whereabouts became a complete mystery.

At the thought of this, Gu Jinglian frowned. He mulled over his thoughts with a brooding gaze, while complex emotions flashed across his eyes.

He did not know that the woman was pregnant with his child.

She was an extremely capable woman.

When she was planted beside him, she did not reveal any loopholes. Even he did not discover anything strange about her.

However, five years ago, her whereabouts became unknown.

If his guesses were correct, everything matched Baby Chu’s description.

He did not expect it to be her!

He thought she was dead.

Interpol had also been secretly searching for her for a few months. In the end, they could only conclude that she was “dead”. Having suffered the agonizing loss of their beloved official, the Interpol secretly erased all her information from their database.

But she had lost her memory?

So, she doesn’t remember anything, including memories about me? 

Gu Jinglian narrowed his eyes slightly. A sharp and hostile look crept into his eyes.
