I Want a Lifetime with You

“What else do you want? I’ve just started the investigation, so I got little information. If you are curious, go ask Jiang Shizheng or Shi Yunsheng. You can get an answer faster that way.”

Li Heng had already told him everything he knew.

Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows, because this was indeed an arduous task. It had been years, so it was difficult to find out clues based on what they had. If someone deliberately withheld the truth, the investigation would take a long time.

“Jiang Yu and Jiang Shizheng seem to be at odds,” Fu Chengyan recalled he had once met Jiang Yu when he was Jiang Shizheng’s student, but Jiang Yu must’ve forgotten about it, since she didn’t know who he was. “Focus on Jiang Shizheng and Jiang Yu, then.”

“Okay, I’ll try that.” Li Heng shrugged. “Wanna play a round?”

Meanwhile, Lin Yu and George were chatting enthusiastically. Like attracts like, and both men were excellent in their field. George appreciated Lin Yu’s talents a lot. “Lin, if you didn’t choose to come back, you would’ve achieved a lot by now.”

Lin Yu’s eyes flickered, but the man’s lips curved up in a faint smile. “Not really. Back then, I had my own reasons to return. If I didn’t return, no matter how much I achieved, I wouldn’t be happy.”

Shi Nuan faltered upon hearing the man’s answer. She had been working under Lin Yu for only a short time, but she knew the man well. Lin Yu was a workaholic. Nothing could change his mind when it came work. If he had a great chance back then, why did he give up the chance to return?

Lin Yu said nothing when he saw Shi Nuan’s surprise. He merely smiled and said, “There was someone important to me.”

“Oh, then did you find that person?” George’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “Back then, you told me you were going back for her, but I thought you were lying to me. So this person exists, then?”

Lin Yu paused, and his eyes darkened. His lips curled up in a bitter smile. “Yes, I found her. But I think I’ve lost her again.”

Shi Nuan sighed wistfully when she saw Lin Yu’s expression. “Mr. Lin, you’re a great person. I believe you’ll meet someone better in the future.”

“Thank you!” Lin Yu grinned. “I believe she’s doing well now, so it doesn’t matter anymore. Come, let’s talk about something else.”

At night, Fu Chengyan treated both George and Lin Yu to dinner. Shi Nuan noticed Lin Yu was interested in Su Yian, so she dragged her friend along to accompany her under the pretense that she didn’t want to be the only female at the table.

Su Yian wanted to say no, because she only knew Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan among them. Actually, besides Shi Nuan, she wasn’t close to the others at all. But Shi Nuan kept begging her to come along, so she didn’t have the heart to reject her. In the end, all of them went to Shuchang Restaurant.
