Chapter 470 - TRUE TO HIS WORDS: PART IV

It was late that evening on the day, Cris returned to the city when he woke up from an exhausting dream. He was covered in sweat and was breathing heavily whilst facing the ceiling. He did not move for a while until he calmed himself down. He then turned to the clock next to his bed which was on his bedside table. 

21:49

Cris sighs as he gets up off his bed and notices the pile of doc.u.ments spread all over. 'Ah, I must have fallen asleep.' He thought to himself as he gathered all the doc.u.ments together. 

As soon as he gathered all of them, he started scanning them again. The more he looked at them the more he found the girl to be the most unluckiest person in the world despite who she is. She is born with privilege, yet she does not have control over it. At the same time, some b*stard wants to make her life even worse. It has been troubling him who would go and kidnap the girl. They all have good connections so what led them to such an act to dare kidnap the girl. 

Cris went out of his room and headed to the kitchen when he noticed the room was empty. "Wasn't he?' For a second he thought his cousin was around which made him wonder if he was dreaming or not. 

He went to look for his phone and started calling the man. It didn't take long before the person to answer. 

"What now?" President Chen was not in the mood to be speaking with the man after what happened earlier. 

"Where are you? Did you come here earlier?" Cris ignored how rude the man spoke to him and instead asked what he needed to know. 

"Attending a party. Yeah, I was there and you kick me out you b*stard." 

"I did?" He asked as he drank the glass of water. 

"Yeah, we-well… Technically, you didn't, but you left me all alone. So, I left."

"What are you doing there?" 

"Doing what you asked me to." President Chen was getting annoyed that the man kept asking him so many questions when he was the one who order him to do all of it 

"What?" 

"Cris, g*ddamn it! Are you acting like an *ss or what? Have you forgotten already? You asked me to have that check by asking the girl's help." He spoke without revealing any of the details to avoid anyone from overhearing him. "Do you know how hard of a task this is. I mean, I freaking don't know where to look for the girl. Luckily, a friend of mine told me that the goddess is attending the banquet tonight, but strangely she left all of a sudden." 

"She left, why?" Cris was curious as to why she would suddenly leave. It made him wonder if something happened to the girl again. 

"Who knows, all I can think of it must have something to do with the girl."

Both of them weren't far from each other's way of thinking. It made, Cris ponder on things further as he wonders what could have happened. 

"She was really in a hurry as if it was something urgent."

"Could she have gone home…" Cris spoke in a faint voice making it hard for the person on the other end to understand him. 

"Did you say something." 

"No, don't bother about that. You better enjoy the party or go home. I'm sure she won't be there anyway." 

"Huh-"

Before the man could even react, Cris has once again ended the call without letting him say anything further. 

"She must have gone home then." Cris had this pleasing smile on his face. He couldn't explain it, but he was sure the girl was fine, but in a way he too found it kind of weird. 

Cris went to check the food in his fridge. He has not eaten anything at all… His last meal was the barbeque party by the beach with the girl. At the same time, he was too tired to even eat when he got home. He had stayed up all night keeping his promise to the girl. Then, he drove home early in the morning and when he reached by noon, he had to bother with the man and go over the investigation. By the time he fell asleep, he had completely forgotten he hadn't eaten anything at all. 

There was quite a lot of food prepared by President Chen. Since the man does not have any money on him, he made sure to stock up all the kinds of food the man would normally eat. But, in the end, Cris only grabbed an apple and went back to bed. 

Cris returned to his room and read through the files again as he finished his apple. It had been bothering him what happened to the girl ten years ago and does it have any connection with her second disappearance. 

Since the girl's father found her during the first disappearance, did he find her again during the second time? 

And, if he did, who is helping him? 

Which fool would dare challenge the underground society and help the man? 

"Guess I have no choice then." The fact that someone from the other side is getting involved. He felt like it was his job to protect the girl and help her recover what she had lost. Despite him having something important to look for, he thought he could push it back for now since the girl must have a limited time only. Her father is not the kind of man to let her lose so easily seeing the number of guards with her. 

…..

Early the next day, Cris headed to Global Star Entertainment in search of Wang Ji. With the help of his cousin, he was able to meet with the man without any hassle. 

"Mr. Wang, let me introduce my cousin Cris." 

"Cris?" Wang Ji looked confused as to why he was suddenly meeting such an important question. He was curious as to why the man only told him about his first name. 

"Mr. Wang, I heard you were Li Zi former manager, I was a big fan of hers and wish to know more about it. Would it be alright if you brought me to all the places she used to visit?"

Wang Ji didn't know what to say, but only nodded after he noticed President Chen's dumbfounded expression. 

As they headed out of the building, quite a lot of newbie stars gathered around Cris as they asked who he was. However, since President Chen was with him, they didn't even get an opportunity and were told to get back to work. 

"Mr. Cris, if you first." Wang Ji said as he opened the car door for the man. 

"No need to be so formal, I ain't someone important like this man." He said whilst looking at poor President Chen who felt like choking the man for lying. 

"Ah- then President Chen." Wang Ji turned to President Chen as he asked him to enter the car first all fl.u.s.tered that he actually ignored his company's president. 

"Wang Ji, you've been in the industry for too long yet you can't see the difference."

"Dear Chen, don't be harsh on the man." Cris continues to act innocent as he wink at the man signalling him to shut it or else…

"Whatever, let's go already." 

Wang Ji was lost and couldn't keep track of the situation. Instead, he stayed quiet and observed the man with President Chen. If he wasn't wrong, he looked somehow familiar, but he couldn't explain where and when he had met the man before. 

After President Chen and Cris entered the car, Wang Ji went to the driver seat. He turned to them and asked, "Where would you like to go visit?"

"Take me to the place where you met her?"

Wang Ji did not question as to why he was so curious about the girl. He started the car and drove to the place where he first met the girl. Along the way, he explained to him how he met the girl and how things became between them. He also explained that President Chen has met the girl, but maybe because he was drunk that time he forgot about it which brought such revelation to the man and indeed he has forgotten about it. 

Cris whispered, "Didn't you take a break during the time she started." 

As President Chen thought about he did, which is why he was not close to the girl. 

They finally arrived at the cafe, Cris looked at the place and examined it. He then prompted the man next to him about what to do which was to check the surveillance back then.

"Mr. Wang, if I'm not wrong, you must know where she lived before right?" 

"Ah- about that, I can show you the place but President Chen already gave the place to someone."

"Oh, take me." Cris was curious as to whether the man would take him to Knights Park or not. If he does, he just helped the idiotic man next to him confirmed the girl's identity since he looked so confused as to why they'll be heading there. When he was the one staying in the place. 

"Cris, aren't you the one staying there already." He whispered and asked all confused about the situation. 

"Think harder as to why I'm doing this. Maybe this will help you get in contact with her." Cris responded as he wished to hit the man in the head for being such a clueless person when a gold mine was next to him all those years.
