Chapter 471 - TRUE TO HIS WORDS: PART V

When they arrived at the apartment complex, President Chen looked blankly at the man beside him, curious as to why they were there. It's already a given fact that the apartment belongs to Li Zi and now under the company's care so he allowed the man to stay there. 

So, what was his point in coming to the place anyways?

Cris notices the expression on the man's face. It made him wonder how he became who he is now. He was sure he passed the family trial in order to get the position, but why is he so stupid sometimes. 

"President Chen, Mr. Cris, we're here." Wang Ji stated as he parked the car in front of the apartment. 

All of the sudden, Cris blurted out something which took Wang Ji by surprise, "How is she?"

"Oh, she's doing…" Wang Ji bit his tongue and looked baffled by the situation. He was so furious at himself for not being mentally prepared at all. "I'm sorry, Mr. Cris, I don't understand what you mean?" 

"Wait,Wang Ji, you just said…"

Before President Chen could continue to interrogate the man, Cris opened the car door and pulled him out. Then, he went back to check on Wang Ji and said, "That will be all, thanks for everything."

Both men stood outside the building, President Chen continued to shout at the man, which Wang Ji could hear despite being inside the car already. Wang Ji was a bit hesitant to get out of the car, he feared that the man might have known already. He dared not look back and left without saying any further words. 

"Cris, what the heck are you doing? Didn't you just hear what the man said? He mentioned Li Zi been doing well. Oh, the man kept it a secret from me. How dare he-" 

"Only an idiot like you won't notice things." 

"Huh?" 

"She's been back for a while now, but to think it looks you years to realize who she is." 

"Huh, what are you talking about?" 

"Let me ask you this, the Knightley girl, what's her name?" 

"What does it have to do with Li Zi?" President Chen was not in the mood to play games with Cris. All he wanted to do was go after Wang Ji and choke him to death for keeping Li Zi's return a secret. 

"Just answer." 

"Fine, fine, Elizabeth." He answered without any further complaining noticing the cold stare the man was giving off as they headed inside the building. 

"Do you know her nickname?" Cris innocently asked as if he does not know. 

"How should I know, I ain't acquainted with the girl." 

"Hmm, then what do you think it could be."

"Well, if it's me, I guess, Eli, Liz, Beth…" President Chen continued to ponder and blurt out different name combinations he could think of using the girl's name. He blurted out so many names until, "Lizzy." 

His face said it all, his eyes, shook wide open in shock from what he just realized. Cris didn't even bother explaining things to the man and headed straight inside his apartment. 

"Cris, wait, did you know already that Lizzy and Li Zi are the same?" The man chased after Cris who was inside the apartment already.

"Like I said, only an idiot will take years to notice it." 

"Ah-" President Chen felt annoyed by the man's rude comment, but he too admitted that he is an idiot for just realizing the girl's secret. Who would have thought that the daughter of the Knightley would be working under him? So much opportunity yet he failed to grab it. 

"Cris, does that mean, Li Zi's disappearance was related to the Young Princess?" 

"Aren't they just one person, idiot?" Cris sighs as he feels a headache from talking with the man. He didn't think he'll be this stupid to even ask something like that. 

"I'm just making sure." President Chen quickly answered back as if he was just making sure yet truly he was still confused by everything. 

"Now you know who she is, find a way to get in touch with her." 

"Wait, wait, does this still have something to do with the medicine, I mean?" 

"No, worse." His expression was cold and lonely as if something terrible is about to happen which brought such shivering feeling to the man as well. 

"WHAT?" President Chen worried that his life is about to go through a rough journey. The smooth life he has always had is now going to hell. "Do you mean?" 

"Since we already expect the people from the other side might be involved, I think it won't be long till they'll find the girl." 

"Cris, what makes you so sure that they are involved?" 

That's right, till now Cris has been pondering on that same question for days. He couldn't find a good reason for someone from the other side to break a good relationship with the Knightley. Both business and politics are both in their family's grasp which means good opportunities to come. 

"So, you too still don't know then." 

"Hmm, I'm still curious as well. And, which family broke the relationship with them." 

"Do you think it has something to do with the major clans?" 

"I'm a hundred percent sure it has something to do with those b*stard. As you know, succession between the clans is happening."

"I almost forgot about that." 

"Do you think?" 

Cris didn't bother to answer, but he already expected what the man was thinking. He too thought the possibility that one of the major clans might have purposely made a marriage contract with the family, but maybe the girl was against it or since the fact she was unaware she might have fallen in love and this resulted in her running away. But, this could only mean that the man is a part of the major family as well since the girl returns in one piece. 

"Cris, isn't it better for you to go home and find out more about this." 

"I can't do that, grandfather is nowhere to be found." 

"Wait, could it be?" 

He has already thought of the possibility his grandfather might be involved with the Knigthley situation. But, he pushed that thought aside from the true reason his grandfather vanished has something to do with his mother. Till now, he's been wondering why his mother vanished all of the sudden and as to why he does not recall it at all.
