After staring at him for a long while, he slowly moved closer to him and squatted in front . Not once did his gaze leave the boy’s little face .
His features were especially similar to the woman in the picture .
He was a little skeptical when he first saw the young lad!
Thinking that it may just be a coincidence, he did not have many doubts about it .
Not until he saw this huge poster hanging on the wall of the boy’s office that his suspicions were evoked again; the woman’s facial features and gentle eyes seemed to look exactly as the figure in his memories .
That woman and the little lad were probably related in some way!
That was why he had hung her picture in his office . What was even more suspicious was that his features were especially alike to the woman’s .
They were very much like mother and son .
Could… the woman be his…
Gong Jie’s shoulders and fingers shuddered uncontrollably in agitation . A hint of mixed emotions rose on his face when his hands reached out for the boy and caressed every inch of his face with his long slender fingers .
“Actually, I had vague suspicions of your identity during our first encounter!”
As he calmly spoke, he slowly lifted his eyes to meet the boy’s surprised gaze .
“What suspicions?”
“Don’t you think we look a little alike?” His brow arched as his lips parted .
Youyou’s gaze landed on the man’s face again .

It was not just alike .
Being especially perceptive in nature, a seed of suspicion sprouted in his heart when they first met .
It was just that, at that time, he was worried about his mother; hence, he did not think much about it .
From his mother, he heard that she had a brother who had gone missing without a trace after the car crash, and she had no idea whether he was dead or alive!Read more chapter on our vipnovel . com
He could not help thinking along this line now; the man standing before him bore such resemblance to his mother .
However, his attitude was relatively conservative compared to that of the man .
“Yes, there’s a bit of resemblance . What do you want to say, though?”
As mommy’s identity was a sensitive issue, he did not get right to the point and tell him about the relationship between him and the woman in the poster .
Moreover, this man was the core figure of Hurricane Group, the number-one firearms empire in the world .
He was a pretty dangerous person!
What if he got it wrong?!
Under such uncertain circumstances, he would neither reveal his mother’s identity to him nor to anyone else .
It was a sort of protective measure for his mother!
The man frowned slightly as he took a deep look at the young lad . A trace of emotional struggle flickered in his eyes .
Although he was anxious to seek for an affirmation, he was afraid of being disappointed again .
It was utterly despairing to receive hope, only to be disappointed in the end!
Still, with a small wing of hope fluttering in his heart, he forced his words out . “I’m… looking for someone . ”
The boy stiffened slightly .
“A woman . ”
Rare tenderness appeared on his usually cold face when the man mentioned her . “Even though I don’t know if I can find her in this lifetime, I refuse to give up any hope regardless of whether she’s dead or alive . She’s very important to me!”
“A… woman?” the young lad asked tentatively .
His eyes flashed with pain before returning to its usual coldness .
