That simple sentence seemed like a clap of thunder that rang loudly in her ears .
It was as if Nian Xiaomu was afraid she had heard it wrongly as the hand that was holding the cell phone tightened .
Even Yu Yuehan, who was still pretending to be drunk, had paused and turned around to look at her .
The look in his dark eyes was dense and complex .
This call had come at a bad time . He had thought that he would be able to reap his returns after acting for an entire night, but was in the end defeated by a mere phone call…
Annoying!
However, Tang Yuansi and himself had tag-teamed and even they could not find the person that Tan Bengbeng had mentioned . As such, now that they had some information they would have to settle this important matter first .
The night was still young, he could afford to wait .
As Yu Yuehan narrowed his eyes, he walked back to Nian Xiaomu’s side and drew her slightly stiff body into his embrace .
Nian Xiaomu only snapped back to her senses after he transmitted the warmth on his palms to her body .
“Where is Mr . Cardi? Send me the address, we will go and look for him now!”
“No need for that . ” Tan Bengbeng interrupted her and added on slowly in a tranquil tone, “He is dead, he passed away three years ago . ”
“Dead…”
Nian Xiaomu did not expect such an answer and her face turned a ghastly pale shade in an instant .
The only person who might know her family background was dead .
Nian Xiaomu pursed her lips and forced herself to calm down . “Bengbeng, could you have identified the wrong person? The members of the Xing Family had said that Mr . Cardi was in good health . You have seen photos of him, and you could see that he was only in his sixties…”
“I had already confirmed the identity so there shouldn’t be any errors . His cause of death is unknown at this point in time and I will email other relevant documents to you later on . Besides that, I have already checked out the school that you told me to investigate, and no one knew of a person named “Liuliu” . Could Shangxin have remembered your name wrongly?”
Tan Bengbeng spoke in the same calm tone that she would usually speak to her patients in the hospital .
Nian Xiaomu frowned disapprovingly and said, “Shangxin might have got it wrong, but she wasn’t the only one who said it . Even Fan Yu addressed me as Liuliu . This name must be real!”
“But I really did not hear of anyone named Liuliu in Angel . ” Tan Bengbeng replied with certainty .
Things could turn out to be a little tricky in this case .
The truth that was about to be revealed had gone back to square one in an instant .
Nian Xiaomu was originally full of hope, but her hopes had been dashed . She appeared to be a little disappointed when she hung up the call .
She had even forgotten to ask Tan Bengbeng when she returned to the country…
Instead, she received a text message from her on her cell phone after they ended the call .
[You can only better grasp the happiness you have now by not being stuck on past events . Do it slowly . ]
This was Tan Bengbeng—cold on the outside, full of warmth on the inside .
Nian Xiaomu swiftly sent her a text message before she looked up and looked at Yu Yuehan .
She was originally worried that he would not understand their conversation since he was drunk . However, the eyes that she met when she lifted her head were extremely sober and calm .
His naive and drunk look had disappeared without a trace .
He lowered his head slightly when he heard what Tan Bengbeng had said; he seemed to be pondering over something as he folded his arms…
He had a serious look on his face and his eyes were filled with a light that she did not understand .
After that, he seemed to have noticed Nian Xiaomu’s gaze as he paused slightly in his actions and he lifted his head .
Immediately, he got ready to activate his best actor mode…
“Yu Yuehan, if you dare to pretend that you are drunk now, I will press your head into the bathtub when you’re bathing and treat you to a serving of a sobering drink!”
