Back to 49 days before death

"Daoxiang Tea House" is on the edge of the West Third Ring Road, not far from the business district where Zheng's family is located. The environment there is beautiful, not to mention confidential, and it is a place where Zheng Ze often goes to discuss business.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the traffic was smooth. Zheng Ze drove out of the most congested commercial center, and arrived at the tea house at just the right time.

He came to the small private room on the second floor familiarly, opened the door and saw that old K was already waiting.

Old K is a man in his forties. I heard that he was a soldier in the north in his early years, and he was a reconnaissance officer. He was very alert.He is not tall, thin, with a half-slap scar on his face, and looks a bit fierce.

"It seems that I'm still late." Zheng Ze nodded politely, and offered to extend his hand, "Hi, I'm Zheng Ze."

"Hello Mr. Zheng." Old K stood up and shook hands with him. Although there was no expression on his face, anyone who knew him knew that his expression at the moment should be quite gentle.

Zheng Ze actually met Old K when he was a child, but he was too young at that time, and Mr. Zheng didn't allow him to contact those people, so he could only watch from a distance and recognized his familiarity.In addition, when Dad Zheng broke up with Old K, he happened to be abroad, so Zheng Ze hadn't actually had direct contact with Old K, and this time it was almost the first time they met.

Since Zheng Ze had to return to the company later, the two of them were unambiguous, and they went straight to the topic and talked about the business after they were seated.

"Mr. Zheng, I want to show you this first." The old K took out an ipad and handed it to Zheng Ze, explaining: "These are the life experiences I found based on the information you provided, from birth to work, Everything that is recorded on file is here."

"Okay." Zheng Ze didn't rush to ask the old K why he called him here, and took the ipad to look carefully.

Old K is indeed one of the best skilled hands in the industry. He is not only fast but also comprehensive in his work.The information he checked was arranged according to the timeline, and the regulations were clear and detailed. Zheng Ze could understand at a glance, and quickly found the information he wanted.

The first page of the information is the personal profile of the person being investigated, and at the beginning is a personal photo of Zhang Yuyixin, with a blue background, which was taken around the time of college admission.

In the photo, Yu Yixin still looks very young, his eyebrows and eyes are not opened, and his hair is short and close to his scalp.Looking at the camera, he didn't know what he thought of at the time, and he was even a little lost in the moment when he took the photo, but when he recorded it, he became a wandering look.

But it was just such a photo that was taken inadvertently, but Zheng Ze couldn't help laughing when he saw it.He always thought that Yu Yixin was young and mature, and since he met him, he always had a stern face, as if the whole world owed me a dollar, but he didn't expect that Yu Yixin was so harmless to humans and animals a few years ago.Not to mention, Yu Yixin, who is young and soft, with two pimples on his forehead, looks much cuter than now.Looking at that pink face, Zheng Ze's thumb was about to move, and he couldn't help but want to pinch it.

It's a pity that that person is Yu Yixin, let alone pinching it now, it's fine for the two of them to meet without arguing and getting red-faced, and tit-for-tat is even more common.But it’s not right to say it carefully, it’s all about the last life, the two people met in this life were very polite, Zheng Ze no longer pressed every step of the way, and Yu Yixin no longer avoided deliberately, but the two met each other. Often speechless, truly become a familiar stranger.

After Zheng Ze stayed on the cover photo for a while, he looked behind him.In fact, his expression was quite calm at the beginning, but the more he saw behind him, the more tightly his brows were furrowed.

Zheng Ze used to only know that Yu Yixin was very good. He didn't know until he saw the row of award-winning experience on his resume. What he knew before to please that person was just a drop in the bucket. He had never seen the real Yu Yixin clearly.

Compared with ordinary graduates, Yu Yixin's resume is quite luxurious.Born in a small county in Northwest China, he has been a frequent visitor to the list of winners in various competitions since high school, and his record is even more brilliant when he comes to university. He has almost won the first prizes in all competitions in his major, and even won scholarships.Zheng Ze knew that Yu Yixin was actually very suitable to be a leader, so it was not surprising to see the experience of various clubs and student unions during school.

It's just that with Yu Yixin's grades, it's easy to get a postgraduate study, and it's not difficult to go to a better company, but at that time he gave up his qualifications for postgraduate study, and he wholeheartedly wanted to enter Zheng's.Zheng Ze didn't understand it before, but now thinking about it, it's a little subtle.

But this is not the focus of Zheng Ze's attention. He lingered on the column of Yu Yixin's family composition for a long time. After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Is Yu Yixin an orphan?"

"Yes." Old K nodded and added: "To be precise, his family should be counted as a single-parent family. Only his mother's information was found in the household registration file, and the father's column was blank from the beginning. And , his mother also passed away a few years ago."

"When did it happen?" Zheng Ze calculated according to the date of death in the column of his mother, and the answer he got was...

"It's not long since I just started college." Old K replied.

"No wonder..." Zheng Ze murmured in a low voice, no wonder Yu Yixin was so absent-minded when taking that entrance photo, it turned out that something happened to his mother.

Zheng Ze suddenly understood how Yu Yixin had changed over the years, because like Yu Yixin, his mentality had undergone a huge change after losing his mother.During that time, he was lonely and helpless. He was clamoring all day long to see his mother, but he was only told time and time again that his mother was dead and would never come back.

He had actually grown up at that time and knew the meaning of death. His hoarse calls were actually just to vent the pain in his heart, but every time it backfired.The adults told him to be sensible, well-behaved, and independent, but no one told him what to do in the future.

But fortunately, he still has a father. Although Old Zheng is very incompetent, he still gave him a family. He grew up under the protection of his father until he was completely independent.But Yu Yixin was not as lucky as him. He lost his mother when he lost his mother. Since then, he has been alone and has no home anymore.

At this moment, Zheng Ze felt a subtle feeling in his heart. He suddenly felt sorry for Yu Yixin, the boy who once had a bright smile.However, when he returned to reality and thought about the current situation of the two of them, he seemed to have been poured cold water, and his heart was completely chilled.

Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. How could he be soft-hearted for a moment and forget what Yu Yixin did in his previous life?He would never forget those injuries and betrayals until his death, there was no retreat between them, and there was only one dead end left.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Ze closed the ipad and looked up at Old K and said in a deep voice, "So... you asked me to come to tell me this?"

"Of course it's more than that." Old K shook his head and took out a notebook from his bag.The book is obviously old, and the outer shell is mottled and peeled off a lot, but the good thing is that it is still intact when opened.

Old K unfolded the book, turned to a certain page, and then turned to Zheng Ze and said, "Mr. Zheng, you should know that I have known your father for many years. Although I seldom appear in front of you in recent years, In fact, I have always been in touch with your father. I have never slacked off on the tasks that Mr. Zheng entrusted to me. Although I have not been able to complete the task before, fortunately, Huangtian pays off."

"My dad entrusted you to do it?" Zheng Ze looked over in confusion, full of doubts.His father has already traveled around the world and set himself free, so why would he entrust old K to do things, and it has been so many years?

But old K's answer is yes: "Yes, in fact, Mr. Zheng has entrusted the task to me more than 20 years ago."

Old K is already old, his eyes are a little cloudy, but at this moment his eyes are so bright: "He hopes that I can find someone for him, a woman named Cai Qing. It's just that the information provided by your father is limited, except for the address and There is nothing else in the name, so for so many years, although I have never given up searching, I have always found nothing. I never thought that things in the world are so wonderful, and people who have not been able to find them for so many years will be found because of you, Mr. Zheng. Fate, It's really destiny..."

Old K was still happy because of the completion of the task, but when Zheng Ze heard the name, there was a buzzing sound in his mind, and he suddenly lost the ability to think.

Cai Qing, Cai Qing...

How could it be her?

Zheng Zeru was struck by lightning because Yu Yixin's deceased mother's name was Cai Qing.
