184 Remembering
“Great. I don’t know anything about my background, and you don’t know anything about yours either. Zhao Zhan, do you want to look for your family too?”
“For now… no.” Zhao Zhan shook his head slightly and his expression was cold. “Since he could write to me, it proves that he has always known where I was. He has never come to find me once, and I don’t want to go to him either. It will only cause more trouble.”
Yue Jiaojiao thought about it and agreed. She couldn’t help but laugh. Speaking of which, “Yang City seems to be Jiangnan as well. Could we be from the same place?”
“What a coincidence? I’ve already used up a few lifetimes of luck to be able to marry you.”
Zhao Zhan clenched his heart and could not help but ask, “Speaking of this, I just remembered that it has been more than a month since I asked Chen Xiaolang to help keep an eye on Qian Conreng’s family. There’s still nothing suspicious.”
“Sir Zhao! Madam Zhao!”
A familiar voice came from behind them. Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan stood still at the same time and turned to look at the person who had come. “Doctor Zhou?”
Doctor Zhou was panting. “I went to your shop and asked Fang Tianliu about you. He told me that you were in Willow Village, so I came all the way here.”
“Doctor Zhou, what’s the matter? Why don’t you come in and take a breather?”
“That’s good.”
The three of them returned home. Zhao Zhan made a cup of tea for Doctor Zhou and handed it to him. He then asked, “May I know why you’re looking for us?”
“A few days ago, I suddenly thought of why I felt that she looked familiar.”
Doctor Zhou took a sip of tea to calm his breathing. He stroked his beard and reminisced.
“It must have been seven or eight years ago. At that time, I was at the Heart Hall in Hekou County and I saw a woman who looked very similar to your wife.
“Speaking of which, if it wasn’t for two men holding a portrait of a ten-year-old child and asking me a few days ago, I wouldn’t have remembered this matter at all.
“At that time, the woman brought with her the ten-year-old child in the painting.”
Zhao Zhan looked nervous. “Did you tell the two of them anything about the child in the portrait?”
“Don’t worry. I didn’t mention anything. Those two people looked fierce. They said they were looking for their family members, but there was not a single trace of worry on their faces. How would I dare to speak rashly? If I were to bring disaster to Madam Zhao, wouldn’t I be at fault?”
Hearing this, Zhao Zhan’s high-strung heart slowly relaxed. “Doctor Zhou, please forgive me. I jumped to conclusions out of fear.”
“It’s fine, I understand.”
“Doctor Zhou,” Yue Jiaojiao, who had been silent the entire time, asked in a gentle voice, “I would like to ask, did that woman visit the Heart Hall frequently? If it happened frequently, we might be able to find some clues there.”
“I don’t know.” Doctor Zhou shook his head helplessly. “At that time, I only gave medical services in the Heart Hall for three months. When I was there, the lady would come there at the beginning of every month.”
Zhao Zhan turned his head and looked at his lover. He made a decision in his heart when he looked at her. “Doctor Zhou, may I know the address of the Heart Hall?”
“Of course.”
“Xiaolang knew that I was coming, so he asked me to bring this to you.” Doctor Zhou took out a note from his sleeve and placed it on the table. “I’ve told you everything I know. I still have a patient in the nearby village that needs to be checked. I’ll take my leave first.”
Zhao Zhan hurriedly got up to give him some food, but Doctor Zhou was determined and tactfully refused, so he had no choice but to let him leave.
After he left, Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao opened the letter.
