Chapter 460 - COLLIDE: PART IV

Shen…

Elizabeth shouted the man's name within her as she stared at the man walking along the beach who seems to have the same physics as Yun Shen. 

A few hours before the beach encounter.

Elizabeth finally arrived at the beach house her father gave her. She recalls that the place she along with Jackie and their friends visited wasn't her private beach house, but her family beach house in the country. She was sure that she visited the place and hope she will find some clues as to why no one seems to recall the place at all. 

"Young Miss, we've arrived." 

"Hmm, I'll be heading out then." 

None of the guards followed her as she went along with her away. They have already installed surveillance all over the area, to ensure the girl's safety. 

Inside, everything was so familiar to the girl. From the furniture and all the items inside. 

"Young Miss, will be in our rooms then." Long stated as he carried all their stuff inside. 

"Hmm." 

Only Long and Chou were allowed to stay in the house with the girl. It would be awkwards if dozens of men were staying in one house with a single girl. Plus, the girl's father does not approve of the idea as well. Instead, they rented the house next to them in which the rest of the guards stayed at. 

Elizabeth first went upstairs and visited the different rooms. As she checked each of the rooms, a flash of memories she had in the place along with Yun Shen and his friends came back. She could clearly imagine them and yet it confused her as to why it all felt just like a dream.

As she reached her room, she rested by the bed for a while. She was exhausted and only had a few hours of sleep earlier. The fact she was busy earlier examining the painting, she was still pondering about them. She couldn't understand why she couldn't find the last painting she did. The painting of Yun Shen… 

It made her wonder if her father has something to do about it. Her father can't be trusted despite everything he'd done for her. 

Meanwhile, at the same time in the same place. 

Cris has also arrived at the beach house which was located a few houses next to Elizabeth. He wished to rent the beach house next to the girl's but sadly both the left and right were already booked by someone. He tried so hard to see who it was but in the end he gave up because it only could mean one thing. No matter how much effort he puts on things, in the end, he was a nobody without his family. 

He grabbed his stuff and went inside the house. The beach house he rented was in a modern style. It has its own private pool and everything was minimalist. There weren't a lot of ametis in the place. 

Cris decided to unpack his things in order to examine the place. He needed to check the place out before it gets dark. 

The man changed into a more casual holiday attire as if he was a tourist on his vacation. He grabbed his sunglasses and headed out to the beach. 

As he walked along the shoreline, the sun was slowly setting. It was a few more distance till he reached the house and he didn't have time on his watch left. He expected that by the time set the house would be full of guards at night. It it's a property owned by the Knightley family. 

Finally, he reached the house. But, as he expected, he was indeed too late. Outside by the lawn and pool area. A couple of guards were roaming around the area all high alert and surveilling the ground. 

"Darn it!" Cris cursed for being such a slowpoke and missing his chances to check the house out. 

Visiting another beach house would be natural as long as you don't go overboard and check what's inside the house. However, it would be strange if you visit the place late at night. 

Inside, Elizabeth was wide awake from her nap. The house taker went over to greet her and ask what she'll be having for dinner. 

"Anything will do. Please, inform Long I'll be at the beach."

The girl walked out and passed by a few guards. She greeted them with a smile as the guards reported to the team that they were with the girl. Of course, they didn't follow just. As long as they have a clear visual of her, it was not necessary to follow her around. 

She sat by the shoreland as she watched the sunset and the waves crashing along the shore. The sound of the waves was pleasing to listen to and brought such a relaxing feeling to the girl. 

"Darn it!" 

Suddenly, the girl heard an unfamiliar sound. She wondered what could be the problem. From the tone of the person's voice, he sounded disappointed. As she turned to see who it was, she was already too late and the man had turned his back and was walking away.

Elizabeth saw the man was heading his way back so did not bother about it. Instead, she went back to watch the waves and the sunset. 

Time passes as she continues to enjoy herself until she unexpectedly realizes something. 

YUN SHEN

Elizabeth turned to see if the man was still there but he was no longer around. But she was sure that the person she saw earlier had the same physics as Yun Shen. 

The girl quickly got up on her feet as she started running to chase the man. Her heart was pounding so fast as she could not explain the feeling she was feeling at the moment. 

It didn't take long for her to catch up since the man was walking at a slow pace. As Elizabeth slowly approached the man, she prepared herself to call out his name. 

Yun Shen.
