Chapter 38 - Find Her

Ah Hai wondered what had possessed him to give her the ring.Maybe he had been on too many painkillers then and his mind muddled.Keeping the picture back,he thought of how she would look now.He knew almost everything about her except what she looked like.This was because he had forbidden Mrs Wu from ever sending her photograph or any sort of communication directly.When Mrs Wu and Shi Ai had come to country A for the little girl's treatment,he had preceded them to make arrangements and stayed there until the treatment began and she had begun recovering.Once he had fulfilled the promise to himself to keep her safe,he had left country A,intending to never look back.But he had not expected to be back in this position.

Just before Ah Hai had met Shi Ai, they had been asked to finish off a terrorist camp where a trap had been set for them.From there,on Ah Hai begun investigating for the mole, and he realized that corruption among the agents ran deep.It took him and his team two years of risky covert operations to reach the traitor only to realize that the person they assumed to be a traitor was only a scapegoat.Trusting the wrong person had cost them their lives.Only two people had survived the guerilla warfare tactics of the people they had been sent to catch.Unluckily for that person,the two that survived were the ones who were loyal to their team and would not let their deaths go unavenged.

The first thing after escaping he had done was take Shot(their team leader) and go missing while they recovered.This had caused the man to assume that he had succeeded in finishing off the team and he had become careless.The moment the man was focused on something else,Knight came back with Shot and immediately both requested to be discharged on medical grounds.They were discharged honorably after a small investigations since no one wanted to did in deep.By the time the villain realized that there were survivors, Ah Hai had already reached his powerful family while Shot had already left the country.After spending some time with his family,Ah Hai had also moved here immediately.

He never understood the impulse to check on Shi Ai after he came here but he had contacted Mrs Wu to ask about her.That was when Mrs Wu had told him about her sickness and hospitalization.Subsequently,he had suggested that she approach Dr Zhang for guardianship.After knowing that she was well,he had left to kill some pests who liked to attack their own nation.And once again when he had come back,he had gone to see Mrs Wu,this time with the intention of seeing little Shi Ai and asking her for his ring back as well.It was not his intention to take back his promise but he didn't think he would live long enough to marry her.His only reason to live these days was to avenge his comrades.He had committed many sins in the past and had no right to taint the beautiful and innocent Shi Ai.But he had been shocked to know that Mrs Wu was already dead earlier than expected.And Shi Ai was living alone!

He had immediately gone to find her whereabouts,and only after the lawyer had informed him that she was safe and Dr Zhang was also unaware of Mrs Wu's death,he had been relieved.He had asked one of his guards in the Knight Security Service to keep an eye on her and the guard had informed him about the youngest Zhang boy taking her under his wing.Naturally the guard was unaware that he was spying for his boss and not for a client.And so having found a new protector for his Shi Ai he felt that he could now leave for his next mission..for now!

Ofcourse,Ah Hai did not wonder for long about his unexplainable care for Shi Ai
