Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart-Chapter 702

Chapter 702: We Can Start Again

***************

CHAPTER 702

As much as Ye Cheng tried to belittle the threat, he could not get his mind to calm down about it. It was already the weekend and the conversation he had with Chairman Zhang weighed n his mind.

Knowing his mother well, she would stop at nothing, until she got what she wanted.

For a long time had her silence been taken for granted. Now, no more.

He picked up his phone from the small side table by his couch and dialled his mother’s contact. If only he could talk to her, he knew his ache and trouble would be taken away.

“Mother,” he voiced out first when he heard the softness of her breathing through the phone.

.....

“Michael. How are you son?”

“Very well. You?”

“I am okay, mum. Umm where are you?” He did not know how best to start except by dfoing this. And he needed to cmose himself, lest she easily figured pout what was wrong.

“Tell me, anything the matter?”

‘No. I just do nt want you staying out too late, you know,” he tried to change the topic a bit.

Her brows furrowed at his words, causing her to let out a scoff. “Love, I am not a kid nor am I a teenager. I can move freely.”

“I know. I know,” he agreed. “But this si different. We have several of our enemies out there. I would not be happy should in case something happens to you. That is why I need you to be more cautious.”

“Awwn hasn’t my son just grown up to be a dashing young man.”

“Mother, I am serious, truly.”

“I know. I have guard watching out for me.” She placed both legs up on the table in her mini parlor at the side of her house while she drank her mint tea.

“I understand. But I would double it.”

“Okay, Ye Cheng. Hold it right there.’ She sat out on her chair, dropping her tea before relaxing again and crossing her free hand on her stomach.

“I would repeat, I am no child neither am I a celebrity. I do not need that much guard.”

“Mum please.”

“I understand you and your care but you need to understand me too. Rather than focusing on more guards for me, let us put in full time most of our resources to use and start again.”

‘What do you mean?” Ye Cheng asked, not quite understanding what his mother meant.

“Simple. I want us to start again. It is time to search out Sying.”

“Mother. The investigators have tried many times and got nothing. It has been so long,” Ye Cheng tried to deter her.

He did not want her digging in so far and getting her hopes up, only to have her hopes crashed again.

“Cheng, listen to me,” she sniffed before letting out a soft breath. “Things have changed, my son.”

“How so?” He released his own breath and reached up to massage his temples.

The wrinkles on his forehead when he frowned showed how stressed he was.

While he thought of her safety, she wanted to plunge him back into a sorry state. No, it wasn’t him. It was herself.

He knew how devastating this was before and yet again, another one?

“Mum.”

“Listen to me, son. I was recently informed by my investigator that someone is revisiting that case.”

His eyes widened at her reveal. His full focus was on her now. “Why? I do not understand. Tell me more.”

“Yes, dear. Someone is investigating the accident and if someone is doing so, meaning there is someone who knows her too.”

“No. I doubt because...” she swallowed down his saliva as he thought of a better way to explain this. “You said so yourself., she did not have anyone related to her. She never spoke of her family nor did he. They were independent beings living happily.”

“Well, I did say that, but it does not take the fact that she not speaking about it does not mean she did not have them.”

Her point rang a bell in his mind and he knew that it was about time for things to change.

“This is simple dear,” her voice broke him out from his train of thoughts. “I think we can fix it up. I would link up with my investigator and we would try to get the person digging the past.”

“That is a good idea,” Ye Cheng commented.

“Who knows? It might be a relative or...” her pitch rose up, giving Ye Cheng the feel of how excited she was about the news.

“I am sorry to burst your bubble mu, but please, I would love for you to be calm about this. We should not raise our hopes too much. The last thing I need and want is for you to have your heart broken when we cannot find something good.”

“Hmm. If I did not know better, I would say you are saying this to get me off your back in marrying Sying.”

He let out an exasperated sigh to her hearing. Women would always be women.

“I love Li Jing and that would never change mum. I would explore more ways to make our marriage even greater. No one can break us up.”

“That is good. It is just a shame that you and Sying broke paths.”

‘True but then, maybe this is all fate. She and I were not fated. Regardless, I would keep my promise and ensure that this time, we find her.”

“Thank you, son. Your words did lift up my spirit.”

“Yes. It has already been twenty years. Even if she changed her name and went to live elsewhere with her mother, I believe we can still get them, right?”

“Sure. But biometrics are not showing for my friend. Sying, however, was too young to have those. We can only hope and leave no stone, no matter how minute, unturned.”

“Got it. Anyways mum, please be safe and if possible, I would appreciate it if you came to live with us.”

“What?!”
