Chapter 469 - TRUE TO HIS WORDS: PART III

Cris has returned to his apartment with someone glaring intensely at him. 

"Did you enjoy your little vacation, j*rk?" President Chen was informed by the receptionist of his return. He was in a meeting but left without any words and headed straight to the man's house. 

"Yeah, I did. I even met a beauty." 

"You f*cking *sshole. Do you know how worried I was for you? G*ddamn it, Cris, please, I'm stepping on a landmine here already. Aren't you…"

"You don't need to investigate the girl."

President Chen was annoyed that Cris interrupted him, but he was confused as well as to what he meant. "Girl? Who?"

Cris looked disappointedly at him, he wondered how this man, even got his position. "Knigthley."

"Ah, why all of the sudden. I even got something interesting about her but since you no longer need them. I'll…"

"Hand them over." 

"Wait a minute, you already said not stop the investigation, which means any information I've found can…"

"Give it or else."

President Chen ran out of the building to get the file from his car. He returned to the apartment to witness the half n.a.k.e.d man who just freshly took a shower. 

"Can you at least put some clothes on."

"Why should I? Are you-"

"Motherf*cker, of course I'm not, I just find it annoying that someone like you, who cares nothing about himself looks like that while I have to spend hours in the gym just to keep myself…"

Cris ignored what the man was saying and started reading through the files. He found the information not useful at all until the information ten years ago. 

"She vanished?" 

"Hmm, that's right. This wasn't the first time the Knightley princess vanished."

"What happened when she was kidnapped?"

"Well, there was a part she was kidnapped, but she was found, but what happened back then no one knows apart from the man himself." 

"You mean, her father?"

"Yes, that's right."

Cris continued to read the file and the more he read, the more shock, he was to find out what the girl's been through. 

"She-she…"

"Yup, she is a miracle alright. Hundreds of doctors have tried their best to save the girl, but not a single one of them was able to bring her to life. But, her father didn't give up and miraculously was able to bring the girl back to life."

"Did you find out more about it?" 

"No, it was a dead end. It seems the person who helped Lord Knightley was someone powerful enough to block any information from leaking out. And, from my knowledge if the best doctor can't help this could only mean one thing."

"A black doctor." 

Black doctors are doctors who does all kinds of experience, whether it's legal or not. They also work for the best underground lords or the mafia. Some are just born in such a situation that they continue their family line. 

"There aren't a lot of black doctors that I know of who could bring the dead back to life." 

Cris ponders on things for a moment. Yes, in the underground world, everything is possible, but to bring a person back to life seems impossible. What method could they possibly use to bring the dead back to life. If such a method exists then…

"Then, Lord Knighltey must have offered that person something so valuable."

"That's what I'm curious about. What could the doctor have asked for and since the girl is alive and walking Lord Knightley must have agreed?"

"Is it money?" Cris wonder. 

"If it's wealth, then, don't you think Lord Knightley should not be in his seat right now. I mean, who would just settle for money and not wish for the whole fortune." 

"True." 

Both of them seated on the chair as they contemplated this more. The more they read through the file the more they became curious of the Knigthley family. 

"Do they have any connection with anyone from the other side?"

"Well, I did check on that as well since I thought you might ask about it. And what I found, he does have almost a connection with everyone on the other side. Including your family." 

"He does, but what?" Cris asked when he noticed the look on the man's expression that there is more to his everything.

"Somehow, Lord Knightey is distant to all of them since the day the princess vanished."

"You mean?" Cris couldn't say anything at all but knew it was something unspeakable. 

"I'm not sure, but I think the people from the other side could be the reason why she vanished. Since no one was able to find her at all." 

"Ah-"

Cris felt a sudden headache which caused quite a lot of pain. President Chen noticed this and asked.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, it's just…" 

The man couldn���t finish what he was saying until a flash of memory and different people's voices started popping into his mind. He was sure he was not delusional, which could only mean one thing. He was recalling his memory again…

After a few minutes of intense flashback, he suddenly felt out of breath as President Chen brought him a glass of water. 

"Man, are you alright? You're as pale as a ghost." 

"I'm fine." He said as he grabbed the glass of water and drank it. 

"What just happened?" 

"I think grandfather is trying to drugged me." 

President Chen's expression was stiff. He didn't know how to respond to something so extreme, especially relating to the head of their family. "Cris, I think you were just in too much heat."

"If you don't believe it," Cris got up from the chair and went to the room and returned with a capsule in his hand and placed it on the coffee table. "Take this and have it examined. But, once you do that, grandfather will be alerted." 

"Wait, what are you talking about?" 

"We are from the other side, which means, things or not impossible." 

His words felt so scary as if one was watching a horror movie and the ghost was about to appear. 

If what he said is true, President Chen didn't know what to do. He cannot go against the family and if he does have the medicine check it's already a sign of betrayal. "Then, what should I do?"

"Do me a favor, meet up with Miss Knightley." 

"What?" President Chen felt like a gun was being pointed at his head as he imagined the terrifying general and European King furiously glaring at him. "Cousin, you do know who she is right?"

"She is staying in the country looking for someone. I'm sure it's not impossible for you to bump into her…"

"Wait, you want me to stalk her?" 

"You can call it whatever you want. But, if you want things to be much easier for you. Find out who she's in connection within the company." 

"Wait, you mean she's in connection with someone in the company." 

"Did you forget that she came to visit the company."

"Cris, who sure are you about that." 

"Didn't I ask you to investigate the car?" 

"Ah, the car…" President Chen almost forgot about that. He quickly opened his phone to check if he already received a reply from the investigator he asked to check on the car. 

And there it was, a reply from the investigator. As soon as he opened the mail, his eyes, shook with shock from what he was reading. 

"So, am I right." 

"Yeah-"

"So, who does the car belong to?"

"You won't believe me even if I tell you."

"Just tell me." Cris said, showing disinterest and was in no mood for wasting time. 

"It belongs to Li Zi's manager."

"What?" Cris was shocked and didn't understand the connection at all. Yes, the Zhao family were close with the girl, but to the point that he even knew of the Young Princess's identity. 

"That's what the investigator said, that the car belongs to Wang Ji. What's worse, the car he was using was a company car. But, this does not make sense."

Cris too couldn't puzzle everything together. It does not make sense at all. It did state in the report that the girl was in China during the time that Li Zi became a star. She was the spitting image of Elizabeth which is why Lady Zhao showed favor towards her. But, it does not make sense that Elizabeth would even reveal herself to a person like that not unless. 

President Chen noticed the expression on the man's face as if he just discovered something so important that not the world must know about. "Please, tell me what you know?" 

Cris ignored the man and grabbed all the files together and headed to his room, leaving the man hanging to ponder on things on his own. As he arrived in his room, he locked the door and placed all the doc.u.ments by his bedside table. 

"Lady Zhao would indeed favor Li Zi, for the girl was her own daughter." 

He realized this when he recalled that Lady Zhao came out of retirement all of the sudden to do a movie with Li Zi. There have been so many offers for her to star in a movie, but she rejected all of them. A lot of people praised Li Zi for being able to star in a movie with the Goddess. The fact girl was also spotted spending time with the two generals. 

Cris continues to contemplate on things. Despite having his own problem, he was worried for the girl and thought she might be in trouble. The fact she vanished, which is related to the other side. He fears that she won't be able to find any clues before the other side finds out she've returned.
