Chapter 456 - BACK TO WHERE IT ALL BEGIN: PART V

As Elizabeth and Wang Ji slowly approached the company. Another car was parked in front of them. It was still a distance away but the people coming out must be someone important seeing quite some staff of the company was there to welcome them. They were all lined up as well which could only mean one thing. 

"It seems someone important came to visit today." Elizabeth said as she noticed the man coming out who seems to resemble the president of the company. 'Ah- so that's what he really looked like now. He doesn't look like Xiaotong at all so that part wasn't true then. He looks more like one of Shen's friends. Who was it again? Hmmm, at least I know for sure that those people I met in my dreams were real but how did they suddenly change. Could it be-" 

The girl was in deep thought of how her memory could have been altered. Has science advanced so much that such a thing is possible. There have been loads of movies about altering memories and all but modern science haven't quite caught up to it. Also, there was no such thing as witchcraft and if there was then she must have been cursed then. 

As she was about to turn her gaze away from the man, her eyes shook wide open when she noticed another person coming out which brought her some strange feeling. She continued to watch as the man walked away but could not figure out who he was yet he seemed so familiar. But why?

"Manager Wang, that was the real president right?" She confirmed and asked the man. 

"Yes, that was him. Have you recovered your memory about the president?" He looked concernedly at her. 

She smiled slightly and responded. "Some of it, the person he was with who was that?" 

"I don't know, I didn't really get a clear vision of him. But he did look quite familiar as if you've met him before. What was his name again?" 

Elizabeth was surprised by what she just heard. "What? I've met him?"

"Hmm, if I'm not wrong, that person looked like the person who helped you once." 

"When?" 

"Ah- do you remember the Long's birthday party. All the aristocrats and big time celebrities were invited. He looked like the person who saved you. But I can't remember his name since we only meet once." 

Elizabeth was not hearing what Wang Ji was saying, her mind was pondering what he was saying. So, that person could be Yun Shen. But as she was about to confirm her thought.

"Well- I'm not sure about that. Now that I look at him, he looks different. Maybe that's a relative of the person who saved you, or maybe I just can't recall him and seeing things."

With those words Elizabeth pushed back her thoughts that the person could be Yun Shen. Who knows, that person could be someone else and by chance did save her seeing that Wang Ji mentioned they've only met each other once but in her memory they've spent quite some time together. 

"Li Zi, you better put your mask on."

Wang Ji got down of the car first as he secured the area. Before they got down, he confirmed from his assistant that it was indeed the president who visited along with his relatives. 

Elizabeth was now sure that the person was not Yun Shen for he was not related to his friends nor to the president. 

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, let's go." 

As she stepped out of the car, she took in the familiar feeling she gets just by standing in front of the building. "It hasn't changed at all."

"Well, nothing really changed as you see it's still the same. Maybe some of the offices have changed in color and decor but everything was as it was before you left."

As they visited the building, they checked all the familiar rooms which Elizabeht had stayed in. 

"I made a song in this room."

"That's correct and the song is still quite well known. A lot of people listen to the song during their holidays, it's really a catchy song which brought Lu Han quite a big leap in his career. Do you know how many number one hits he has because of you? But, he did have his bad times as well."

"Was it because I left?"

"Hmm, to him you were really like his big sister and he did dedicate quite a lot of his song to you. But, it didn't really cause him that much. The songs weren't what they'll usually do."

"They, you mean, there's still a group up until now?"

"Yes, there in Japan I think right now for their concert."

Elizabeth smiled as bright as the sun, she was pleased to know something good came out of her disappearance. She thought she'd only hear bad news but this was no bad news at all. 

Wang Ji also told her stories of the people she worked with. It surprised the girl to find out Huang Ming actually is now married and has a daughter. He did tell her that he was one of the people who almost left the industry just to look for her. But, thanks to that search he met his wife now. 

Whilst the director he worked with are all top directors now and are busy working on their current movies. 

"Manager Wang, are you busy?"

"No, why is there somewhere else you liked to go?"

"Yes, and I hope you can accompany me."

"Sure, for you I'm always free." 

Elizabeth chuckled from what Wang Ji said. It brought such a smile on the man's face seeing the familiar glow on the girl's face. Since earlier, he has been feeling down seeing the girl does not recall most of her memories. While he was explaining things to her, he was having a hard time not to shed a tear for her. He knows that the girl is trying her best not to act weak so he too must act like her.

As they were heading out of the building…

Could it be a coincidence or fate that both president and his cousin were leaving at the same time as them. However, Elizabeth was a few steps ahead and was about to enter his car. 

As the man stood frozen by the entrance his gaze was fixed on the girl who was covering his face with a mask and entering her car. However, her beautiful hair could not be hidden as he turned his attention to his cousin and asked. "Chen, isn't that the Young Princess? What business does she have with the company?" 

President Chen was surprised from what his cousin stated. He scanned the area around but couldn't see that girl at all. He panickedly responded to him, "WHAT? THE YOUNG PRINCESS? WHERE?" 

"There." The man pointed at the girl before she entered the car and completely vanished at their sight. 

President Chen was so disappointed from not meeting the girl at all, he turned to his cousins and asked, "How sure are you that it was her?" 

"I'm sure, that was her." He looked at him with a serious and cold expression stating. 'When have I ever been wrong?'

He couldn't say anything further and only complained. Seeing the expression his cousin was giving him made him worried of what the man would do. "Why didn't you say anything earlier, if you said something I could have greeted her."

The man said nothing and only wondered why someone like her would visit the entertainment industry. Yes, her mother was a famous actress but she has long retired and hardly shows up herself as well since her daughter was missing. Also, the Young Princess does not even get involved with the media so what reason would she have to come here. So many questions and yet they can never be answered by him. 

Since the day he encountered her at the airport, he's been curious as to why she disappeared. He searched about her online but nothing interesting was found. He even tried all means to find something juicy but in the end it was useless. The girl's identity was completely sealed that even he couldn't access it. 

"Didn't you mention earlier that one of your actresses vanished?"

"Ah- you mean Li Zi." President Chen's expression turned sour as he explained to the man. "Yeah, until now we have no news from her. I've asked Wang Ji about her but he too has no news at all." 

"How long has it since she left?"

"If I'm not wrong, it'll be fours years." 

"Could it be-" 

"What, what, did you figure out something?" 

Cris stood quietly next to his cousin and said nothing. It suddenly struck him of the possibility that Li Zi and the Young Princess could be one. The fact both of them disappeared at the same time and now the Young Princess is back yet the actress isn't. At the same time, he was curious about the reason why she kept her identity a secret. 

"Hey, Cris, you figured something out didn't you. If it has something to do with Li Zi tell me. Do you know that she's a swan laying gold? The company is doing well but with her the company will surely be back on the top again." 

"Do you only see people as money?"

The man started walking away from his cousin disappointedly as he entered the car. He ignored his cousin and didn't even let him inside the car. 

"Drive." 

'Could it all be a coincidence?'
