Chapter 476 - ASSISTANCE: PART IV

That evening, Elizabeth was picked up by Long and Chou since Wang Ji suddenly needed to go somewhere. 

"Don't worry, I'll try to find someone who can help us." 

"Don't worry Manager Wang, I already have a plan." She smiled at him and bid him goodbye. 

"Fine, just be careful." Wang Ji stated as he closed the car door slowly as he watched the girl vanish in front of him. 

Elizabeth was on her phone scanning her contact list. She has so many friends who can help her but to get them involved was too risky. She doesn't want them to be involved with things with her and for her to put their life at risk for someone else was involved too much. 

What worse was the fact her father must have already warned everyone. If ever she asks for their assistance they'll surely inform the man without her knowing they have turned their faik on her.It can't be helped since the girl's father is quite powerful and holds control of almost all her friend's lives. If they dare disobey the man they will surely not only their doom but also their own family as well. That is why it was hard for her to get some answer in regards to what happened to her since she's too afraid of causing harm to others.

When they arrived at the residence Elizabeth quickly went to search for the old man. Since the old man has a soft side for her Surely he will help her without informing her father nor mother.Old man has a soft side for her. Surely he will help her without informing her father nor mother. 

"Mr. Yan is grandpa in his office?" She asked when she noticed the man walking out from the direction of the office. 

"young Princess, you're home. Yes, the old master is in his office checking on some doc.u.ments." he replied as he respectfully bowed and greeted the girl.

"Oh-"

"Young Miss, if you wish to see him go ahead. He'll be happy if you do so. Since you arrived you have been too busy and the old master has missed you so much."

"Then, I'll go see him." 

Mr. Yan was pleased that the girl decided to go ahead and visit the old man. But little did he know that it was all the girl's plan in the first place. She needed someone to initiate and bring up to her the idea of visiting her grandfather. So, people won't suspect she has something else up her sleeves. 

Knock Knock Knock

"Who is it?" 

"Grandpa, are you busy? Mr. Yan to me your not and said to visit you." 

The old man who was busy reading through the different doc.u.ments placed it down as soon as he heard the girl's sweet voice and ran to the door. He quickly opened it and welcomed the girl in.

"Come darling, I am never busy for you. Come, have a sit." Elder Chief Zhao was leaping in glee as he was thinking of giving a bonus to Mr. Yan for speaking to the girl to visit him. He was so happy he could contain his joy and was smiling from ear to ear. "Darling, would you like something to drink?"

"Tea will do."

"Ah, then, wait a minute." The old man went to call the kitchen staff and order what the girl requested and some snacks as well. He knows what his granddaughter likes best so he wishes to put some effort into it since he hardly gets to spend time with her. 

A few minutes later. 

A few kitchen staff arrived with all sorts of desserts and snacks along with the tea the girl requested. They were all smiling as they served the old master and girl since it was the first time both of them had spent time together since she arrived. Plsu, it's always a blessing for them if she does since it lowers the chances the old man will be high tempered. 

"So, darling, is something wrong?" 

"Nothing, I went shopping with Manager Wang as well and had dinner with him."

"Good, good… Anything else?" 

"Well, actually, I was thinking of inviting grandfather out."

The old man shook in delight as his eyes were all sparkling like the stars as he looked at the girl. "Sure, sure, anywhere, where do you want to go." 

"I wish to go to the university and afterwards the military academy then we can have dinner outside. Just the two of us." 

"No problem, I'll have Mr. Yan schedules everything. I was intending to visit the military academy anyways. But it's even more exciting since you'll be coming with me." 

"Alright then grandpa."

"Where do you want to have dinner?"

The two continued their conversation without noticing the time. It was not until General Zhao came in and noticed both of them chatting and eating together thay the two noticed it was quite late already. Of course, the old man was upset by his son's sudden appearance and glared furiously at him since it ended the good time he had with the girl. He did not share what he and the girl talked about including their plan to go out tomorrow. Which was what Elizabeth already expected. Since the old man would not want to share his moment with the girl. 

Elizabeh felt guilty as she walked out of the office to her room. She didn't notice that from a distance someone was observing her. 

"Something not right." Lady Zhao said as she watched her daughter head upstairs without noticing her at all. 

That night, Lady Zhao made a choice which she knows will not end well and that the consequence could be unbelievable. But, she had no choice. The girl was acting strange and she needed to know what could be causing this. 

Finally, someone answered her call. "Keep a close eye on my daughter." 

"Isn't Lord Knightley's men doing that already."

"I know my husband but I know you can do better. Just make sure she does not notice you or else she'll…" 

"I know, I know, you don't have to tell me."

What both of them are worried about is the fact the identity of the person on the other end might trigger the girl's memory of the past. Even her husband does not know about the person whom Lady Zhao was speaking to. 

Well, that's what she thinks. 

…..

Early the next morning, Elizabeth woke up and went for a run with her brother. Afterwards, she got ready to head out with her grandfather. Both of them secretly sneak out of the house without being noticed by the others. If they do know about it, they'll surely come as well. 

"Grandpa, are you sure it's alright to not invite mother?" She acted like an innocent child. 

"Hush now, don't worry. She's still fast asleep and it's best we don't bother them." He comforted the girl stating the fact she has not done anything wrong as if he will be there to protect her. 

"Oh, grandpa, how about we invite your friends for dinner."

"no, no need to do that. They'll all be busy."

Elizabeth was delighted that the old man was easily fooled by her acting. However, deep down she felt so disgusted of herself and couldn't bear the thought of fooling the old man who cared so much for her. 'Grandpa, I'm sorry. But I have no choice.'

Actually, she still had another option and that was to ask for her brother's help. But he was away and she thought informing him about her plans through the phone was dangerous since her father could have tapped through the lines already and monitoring all her calls. 

When they arrived at the academy. Elizabeth old dreams about the academy pop into mind. "Grandpa, I studied her for a bit right?"

"That's right and all your friends back then are all doing well now."

"I know." 

Elizabeth already went ahead and checked them out. She was pleased to know they weren't part of her imagination and were actually a part of her memory. It would have been such a disappointment if they were. Since, she was able to make friends just because of who she was. Well, they partly because of who she was since they knew her as a star back then. 

And till now, she has been bothered by whether she should tell those whom she met in the past her true identity. Since, she thought maybe they'll be able to help her solve the mystery of Yun Shen's identity. 

Elizabeth went around the university and checked on things. They visit all the different departments and she particularly wishes to visit the laboratory. As they went to check the labs, she examined the area as if she was checking for a safe zone. 

The reason for this was if she can't find someone to do the lab test then she herself has to do it. She may know much about it but at least she can try. 

Which is why she also needed to visit the military academy since they have the best laboratories there as well. And since he grandfather and uncle runs the place. Her father had no control of it and she can find someone to help her. Then, she doesn't need to take the risk and do it herself. 

Which leads us to the reason why she wishes to have dinner with her grandfather's friends. For she recalls one of them has a grandson who is a doctor and she hopes that the person is not an imagination and real as well. For maybe, he could help him find what the medicine is for.
