Chapter 474 - ASSISTANCE: PART II

Elizabeth's cold and fake smile made Wang Ji impressed. When the girl was not happy about something back then, she would normally smile like that. Which only means, his suspicion about the man was not wrong. He must have been following them and this has something to do with the fact why he realized that Li Zi is Elizabeth. 

"So, again, what do you want?"

President Chen shakily took a seat at their table despite the unwelcoming feeling he was receiving at that moment. The girl might be showing such a charming and friendly smile yet he could only sense the cold aura she was emiting towards him. 

"First, let me apologize for my inappropriate approach and…"

"Following us." Elizabeth interrupted the man and spoke in such a sharp tone. She then drank her tea, as she turned her attention away from the man, pointing out the fact: She was no fool to have not noticed him at all. 

"Ah, that too." The man felt his throat dried up and he was having a hard time speaking. He couldn't put into words what he wanted to tell her at all. He didn't expect he'll be this intimidated by her and that he'll be tongue tied. 'That b*stard, why did he ask me to do something so hard. Does he not know feeding him is already a hard thing to do.' He felt so betrayed and upset that he couldn't say any of what he was thinking directly to the man. For, he is too afraid that he'll not only lose his tongue but also his life. 

"I don't have much time to waste with you. Tell me, what reason have you come for?" 

"President Chen?" Wang Ji called out the man's name, noticing how pale he looked. He knew the girl was being cold towards him, but it's the man's fault in the first place for acting so suspicious. If he knew who the girl is and curious about something, he could have directly approached him and he too will be honest about it. 

President Chen felt like he was about to faint. The situation was out of his control and he couldn't gather enough courage to speak at all. 

"If you have nothing to say, please leave." 

Again, Elizabeth expresses such intense declaration of disgust, hatred and indifference towards the man. She finds his presence right now irritating and that he can't even do a simple task. She somehow thought that Cris had asked him for something. But, why must he be so stupid and not be upfront about it. 

"Please, wait…" President Chen finally spoke up as he shakily took out something from his pocket. "He-he asked me to ask for your help. My cousin, his name is Cris. I don't know why, but he said you can help him." 

The man placed the plastic bag with the small white capsule inside. Both Wang Ji and Elizabeth looked at each other curiously what the medicine was for. 

"And?" 

'Why is she so hard to handle.' President Chen thought before he explained things further. "We don't know what it's for but he said, since he woke up, he's been drinking that, but does not know what's its true purpose."

"Are you saying his own family is…"

"Please, I don't know much. To be honest, I fear for the worse. I don't think you'll be able to get some answers as well. I know who you are and I know that you've also been in a cage at this moment." 

Elizabeth already knew all of those before he even mentioned it. What can he do with the medicine. If he asks a doctor to check it, they'll surely inform her father about it. Which will lead to even more trouble since her father will surely investigate on things. 

"But, we are out of options. I don't have much connection when it comes to that field and even if I do. They'll surely report it." The man didn't wish to mention to whom they'll be reporting to. He thought it best to keep things close between him and Cris for now. Since they still don't have proof, so it's best not to make false conclusions. 

"I'll do it." Elizabeth said as she grabbed the small plastic bag and placed it inside her purse. She was worried though that she should be doing something like this. The fact the identity of the man is too mysterious, she worries that she might be getting involved with a powerful family that can harm her. 

"Thank you." He replied with reddish watery eyes as if he was about to cry in joy that she actually agreed to help them. 

"But, tell me, how is he?" 

He looked shocked at the girl as if she was aware of his condition. 

Could it be that the two are already acquainted with each other. 

"Miss Knightley, are you too…" 

"I'm not sure if we are speaking about the same person, but a few days ago I met someone with the same name..." Elizabeth answered honestly and did not leave any details of where they've met. 

The man took out his phone and looked for a picture of the man and asked, "Does he look like him?"

Elizabeth nodded and was right. The man was indeed related to him, which means she already has a vague clue of who he could be. 

"For now, I can't tell you much about him, it's best if he explains everything to you. I am grateful though that you are willing to help. In regards to his condition, he's fine for now." 

"Let me guess, he has been avoiding taking the medicine for a while which means he's having withdrawal symptoms." 

The man did not deny it and nodded. 

"I'll have the result as soon as possible. If you have anything else to say, say it now. If not, contact Manager Wang if you need something." 

The man shook his head and bowed as he slowly got up. "That would be all. Once again, forgive me for my inappropriate actions earlier. I was-"

"It's fine, take care President Chen." 

The man left without saying anything further. He was already pleased that he was able to do what the man asked him. Now, all he needed to do was report back to him and with great news as well. They won't have a hard time reaching out to her nor do they need to follow her at all. They'll just contact Wang Ji and they'll be in reach with the girl. 

However, as the man left the restaurant. He walked out with a heavy weight on his shoulder. Since he was not honest about what they have found out about her. He thought, it's best if the man spoke to the girl about it rather than him mentioning it. It was something he has no right to tell. Especially, it has something to do with her life. 

Back in the restaurant. 

"Lizzy, are you sure about this." Wang Ji was concerned and felt unease about everything. 

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to figure things out. For now, help me remove the surveillance." 

"Hmm, no problem. The owner of this restaurant is my friend."

As the food arrived, Wang Ji and Elizabeth did not discuss things further and feast on the food instead. However, what happened earlier has not left their minds and as they continue to ponder on things.
