Chapter 157 - Cracking Linda's mystery..

Liam sighed and he extended his hand upwards. "She is in contact with me too and it's been two week or so" he said. 

He is the first one with whom Linda came into contact with. 

"And, you didn't even think of telling me?" Alex asked angrily. 

Jasper sighed looking at his friends who are quarrelling again. 

"Alex, he would have been confused whether to tell or not. How can we expect them to act as if nothing happened and tell us without any hesitation? The woman we thought dead is not dead and she came back to seek revenge. In order to do that, she contacted Liam, Eve and Mei. And, none of us would have expected this outcome so, naturally they needed time to comprehend what happening and how it's happening. We cant just blame them all right" Jasper chided Alex while comforting his woman in his arms. 

"Jasper is right. Instead of fighting among ourselves we must work together to find our who Linda is and how she is doing all this stuff" Feng supported as he smiled warmly at Ye Mei. 

Such a caring boyfriends!! 

"That's right. Now, let's discuss how Linda managed to do all this. Even if she is so professional and cautious while contacting us using her own means, she would have left some loose ends for us to figure it out" Mingyu told. 

"The most creepiest thing is when I got my first two letters from her, they were placed on my vanity table. I am so sure that no one entered the house and even if they would have did, how can they just vanish in seconds of time. One minute before it was not there and after I came back from washing my hands the letter is placed on the table" Biyu recalled. 

"Did you check the CCTV footage of the house" Feng asked and Biyu nodded her head. 

"Nothing. It was almost like she is invisible" Bity told. 

Alex who was listening it quietly frowned and suddenly she looked at Biyu. "Did you just say vanity table? I remembered something when you were telling this" she said. 

"Biyu, how can you be sure that someone came inside and placed it? The letters would have been placed inside the table long back and would have surfaced up when Linda needed them to appear" she excitedly said. 

"How can that be even possible, Alex? It's totally fictional" Su Jun told. 

"No, Jun. You don't know Linda and that is the reason you are thinking like this" Liam said. 

Biyu nodded her agreeing with Liam and Alex. 

"Even I thought the same. Nothing is impossible if you use proper technique along with the technology we have" Biyu said. 

"Yes. When me, Liam, Jasper and Linda are in teenage we used to think of various ideas to start a start up company and that is how ADORN was started." Alex said. 

"Before Linda disappeared, we thought of extending our products to furniture too. At that time Linda has same type of idea on her mind" 

"A table which would also act like a message box. For example, let's take a vanity table itself. The surface might look like it is made of one whole wood surface and we can't open it, or slide it down or up. 

But there will be a secret chamber beneath the surface of the table and Linda call it as message box. Many pieces of papers with various messages would be filled inside and there will be an arm connected in it."

"Whenever a person wants to tell anything or make others remember something, he or she can just take the remote controller and select the number on it. This number will be also engraved on the paper inside the message box. Depending on the number we selected, the arm inside the message box finds the letter with same number on it and takes hold of it."

"As soon as arm finds that paper with the number we selected, the surface of the table will be pulled down a little and the arm will placed that paper on to the surface and sends it back to the previous position" Alex told. 

She can tell that some understood and some didn't. So, she decided to tell again. 

"Think that Linda has many letters hid in message box, the secret chamber in the vanity table. If Linda wants Biyu to find some 'xyz' information, Linda will simply check the number she engraved on that paper using history saved in the remote controller. Think that the letter which is labeled 23 has that 'xyz' information, so, when Linda presses number 23 on remote controller, the arm fixed inside the secret chamber finds that letter using the scanner and as soon as it finds the letter numbered 23, the surface of the vanity table will be pulled inside, so that the arm can place it on the surface of the table. Later, it will come back to previous position. So, when Biyu saw this she thought someone came inside and kept it" Alex told. 

Linda wanted it to create for family purposes. If wife was out somewhere and she wanted her husband to take the tablet, she can simply press the number with that message and it would appear on husband's study table, making him notice it. 

If a child has to take his or her milk and snacks but he doesn't know where they are, his parents can simply press the button in remote and it would appear on his table, letting him know it. 

This was unique idea of Linda and it seems like Linda used this here. 

After everyone heard what Alex has told they are truly flabbergasted by this. Who could expect this seriously? 

Alex knew this because Linda has told her once!! 

"So, Uhmm…..can, we break the surface and look into the secret message box" Su Jun, who previously declined, asked in total shock. 

Alex smiled and nodded no. You need remote or the password to do it. If we tried to open it with force, the arm will morph into paper cutting machine and it will destroy all the papers into thin pieces so that no one can even recognize what we wrote" Alex told. 

"So, how can we open table's  surface" Mingyu asked. 

"We can reprogram it and open it using new password" Jasper said out of nowhere. 

"But we don't have code she used for it" Su Ming pouted. 

"No, we actually have!! We were the one who helped her back then and we still have knowledge how to do it" Liam said and Alex nodded their heads. 

"All right. So, we can ask them to go and work on it while we discuss about remaining matters" Mingyu told but Biyu disagreed with him. 

"Team work is far efficient bro. We need everyone of us to participate in this" she told. 

"Yep, I agree" Jasper agreed. 

"So, what would be our next weird encounter?" Su Ming asked. 

"It happened when I went to select my dress for Jasper's banquet" Biyu replied. 

"Linda ordered my dress which I designed when I was child. I always dreamt to wear it in my first appearance as model and Linda fulfilled it for me" Biyu told. 

"I think that she did it as a small token to show her support and approval." Biyu added. 

"Uhmm…..baby girl, did she leave you any message or something back then?" Jasper asked gently hugging her by her waist as she sat on his lap. 

"She left me a letter and necklace" Biyu told. "I still have it in my wardrobe" 

"We should go and look at them" Feng told and he is about to stand up but Ye Mei tugged him down. 

"Let's discuss everyone's encounter with Linda. What if all these are connected to one another?" she asked.

"All right. Continue sis" Feng told and Biyu continued sharing what all happened. 

After hearing her out, each and everyone of them ended up with different thoughts in their minds but decoded to hear out Liam and Ye Mei as well. 

Ye Mei sighed and she started discussing her own experiences with Linda. 

It started during the banquet when she took the envelope Linda left for her to take. 

"After banquet, we all flew to country X to celebrate Jasper's and Biyu's engagement right, at that time, all Linda has asked me is to inform her what all had happened in country X" Ye Mei told. 

"This means, her connections are almost nil when it comes to country X. So, she has limited network which is mostly concentrated in here. So, she should be someone famous and powerful person here" Jasper told. 

"Her connections are too weak in country X right? Can it be because she reincarnated into someone who is actually against council?" Biyu asked. 

"Hmm….its a point. Otherwise she would have taken some chances all by herself, rather than asking help from someone. She never trust any person so soon" Liam told. 

He is after all her best friend who is like a brother to her. If there is someone who understands her it would him.
