my hero
eps 59s

After returning to the room, I immediately read the agreement carefully, I finally found out what really happened.

On top of the agreement letter had been written, after going to Imperial, Chris' family would hold an engagement event, and I was present as Chris' fiancee.

You could say, my identity will be Chris' fiancee.

Since this agreement was written in the middle of the page, I only read it at a glance, so did not see it clearly.

I stared at the writing that read the word fiancee, long enough I lost consciousness.

It was only fitting that he would give me so much money, because my identity had also changed.

Then why did he say that our relationship had not changed?

However, no matter the lovers, or fiancee, we were just pretending.

What he said is true.

But I don't care about the pain, all I care about is that after going to the imperial, it won't be as easy as congratulating Chris' grandfather.

If not why would Chris want to have an engagement?

Is it to show this game to Jade?

He can even poison me in Hualin city, Imperial is his area of power, he will definitely act more than usual.

I'm starting to get worried.

Plus maybe the Shen family was watching me as well, as I felt, the departure this time to the imperial, was like going into a tiger cage.

And again I don't know when I'm going back to the city of Hualin......

Chris wants me to stop.

I breathe out slowly.

This agreement, I signed it myself, it is too late to regret.

Moreover...... Although I knew before that Chris only wanted us to pretend to be fiancees, I didn't think I could resist either......

I too can only repay his kindness in this way.

I put down the covenant letter silently, pensively staring out the window at the clear sky.

Ever since my mother died, my life had changed by one hundred and eighty degrees, once only needing to study hard, but now living by force and dealing with a wide variety of people.

I don't know after going to Imperial, what kind of situation will I face again.

But life has to go on, I have to be excited.

As for my bad thoughts on Chris, it seemed to change slowly.

Honestly, first time for me, it's really important.

Yet she has no feelings for me, nor can I possibly not let go.

Can only keep a distance with her, and hold back this feeling of love.

To avoid awkward circumstances, as well as time to protect myself, in the evening I made excuses to stay in the room, and Elena's aunt would deliver dinner to the room.

Chris didn't come looking for me either.

In the middle of the night I woke up from my dream, maybe because the air conditioning temperature was too low, or because there was no warmth of Chris by my side, my heart felt cold.

Last night Chris was still hugging me, coaxing me.

I was locked in his warm embrace, inhaling the smell of mint emanating from his body, I fell asleep so soundly all night.

But today I slept alone, woke up alone.

I hugged the blanket, stared at the dim backyard lights, pensive long enough, to finally lie back into the room, and fell asleep again.

……

The next day early in the morning I had woken up, planning after breakfast to go to the investigation team.

After descending down, it turns out that Anin is waiting for me, but there is no shadow of Chris.

Anin looked up, saying: Miss Viona, Chris told me to follow you today.

I nodded my head, saying: Then please help her.

At first I thought I was going to meet Chris, but Chris didn't show up at all.

I also don't understand having to feel relieved, or feeling lost.

Anin glimpsed me, saying: Chris didn't come home last night.

I'm dumbfounded.

Did Chris not come home yesterday?

I wanted to ask him where he was going, but I didn't seem to have the right to ask that.

After that I felt confused, why did Anin say that to me?

Looking at me who was looking at him, Anin with her calm face, said: Chris is afraid that you misunderstand, then told me to explain it to you.

I: ...... It's actually better that you don't talk about this with me.

Anin, who was rarely seen laughing, laughed for a moment.

My feelings somehow got better, probably because Chris was worried about me.

Then Anin and I ate together, then went to the investigation team.

Just after work, all the workmates had gathered, Steven Shen had even earlier walked into the office.

I knocked on the door, calling: Brother Steven.

Steven was looking at a document, hearing a voice, he immediately raised his head..

He looked at me from top to bottom: After disappearing for two days, finally willing to show up as well?

I ignored his insinuations, saying softly: Brother, I have come to resign.

Steven blinked his eyes.

We exchanged glances: Sorry, disappointing Teacher Tang's expectations, also disappointing your guidance.

Steven Shen moved his hand cutting off my words: Don't rush to apologize, I haven't even agreed.

I thinned my lips, saying nothing.

He looked at me: Tell me, what really happened.

Of course I can't say Chris' plan, I just said: For some reason in myself......

Steven Shen immediately kicked the table, throwing the documents he held onto the table: Viona, don't tell me such a thing, you think this is a vegetable garden, which can come and go as you please? You see, in this time how many times have you had permission, put off so much work, I didn't even reprimand you, now you want to give up your responsibilities? You are really great!

I stood motionless, nor dodged, letting him cursing.

He smiled coldly: I want to hear the truth!

I paused for a moment, saying: Sorry, Steven brother, I have humiliated you and Teacher Tang.

Steven Shen hardened his face, gripping me furiously.

I looked at him with an apologetic face.

After some time later, he angrily voiced out: Bring your documents, get out of here!

He accepted my resignation.

I immediately thanked him.

He lowered his head looking at the documents, not caring about me.

Unexpected that he was the one who would show his enraged happy expression, I paused for a moment, then called out to him: Brother Steven.

He glanced at me for a moment, his face filled with annoyance.

I said softly: Two days ago I received your call, I went straight out, but on the way, I was kidnapped by William.

Steven Shen immediately raised his head, staring at me.

I looked at him inside.

Been kidnapped? He furrowed his brows, saying, It's worth it these two days that I called you, but couldn't connect.

I nodded my head, saying: My wallet and phone are gone, today I can take care of my phone number again.

Steven Shen had returned with a cold look on his face, looking at me with the edge of his eyes, saying: You suspect me.

His tone sounded very certain.

Nor did I dodge, saying: A few days earlier I was in recovery, if you don't call, I won't go out.

Steven Shen looked pensive: If so, I am quite suspicious.

I stared at him without blinking, wanting to find something from the look on his face.

But unfortunately his face was so flat, it did not look the slightest weak spot.

I thought for a moment, then asked him: Did you know William?

Steven Shen showed his mocking gaze clearly: Do you have no brains? If I knew him, would I call you lying to tell you to come out? Then I won't be caught immediately.

So, this is a coincidence?

But my hunch says, his words are not necessarily true.

Perhaps he meant to point out flaws like this, deliberately to make me dispel my suspicions of him.

Suddenly I was a little sorry, why should I ask this.

If the Shen family really instigated Wiliam, then with this question of mine, it would be the same as digging my own grave.

I covered my angry gaze, saying: I just feel like this is so coincidental.

Steven Shen snorted.

I said: I hope Steven and William really have nothing to do, if not......

If not, what do you want to do to me? Steven Shen grinned.

I: ......I'll tell Teacher Tang.

This time it was Steven Shen's turn to be silent.

He looked at me, saying: You take it easy, if I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't use this stupid way.

I: ……

You ended up exchanging looks for quite a while.

I said: ......Then I'll go take care of my retreat.

Steven Shen shook his hand impatiently.

After I left the office, I thought about what he meant.

At first I thought he was very nice, definitely not having any relationship with Wiliam.

But in retrospect, maybe he was telling me, this time he did not harm me, but not necessarily next time, and also he will use a more classy way.

After I took care of my resignation, even I did not tell my co-workers, the most important thing was that I was just an apprentice, who did not enter the work for a few days, the most important thing was that I was only an apprentice, who did not enter the work for a few days, not so close to the others.

But when I was out, I met Erick.

He looked like he was very surprised to see my presence, plus he saw my resignation letter, frowning his forehead saying: What has happened?

I shook my head.

Although he is also a senior at Imperial University, but we besides meeting in the investigation team, the rest of us we do not even interact with each other, automatically I will not tell him about my privacy issues.

Erick didn't ask much either.

He paused, saying: Melisa's case, might need your help.

I looked at him in surprise.

He said: We are talking inside.

I followed him back to the office.

He without further ado, immediately said: Two days ago I went back to Melisa's old house, and I found some new things.

I heard it seriously.

He said: I went looking for Melisa's brother, she had a seventy-year-old aunt, usually walking very close. Thirty-six years ago during summer vacation, Melisa was fired. Since this matter was so embarrassing, Melisa did not dare to tell anyone, she only said that to her aunt, but her aunt did not know why Melisa was fired, nor did she say the reason. At first her aunt was not willing to tell us this, but I said Melisa was the victim, with a clear statement then the problem will be resolved, her aunt just opened her mouth to tell me.

I'm dumbfounded.

So...... My grandfather fired Melisa?

This seems so obvious, why my grandfather and my mother didn't want to talk about it.

He must have made a mistake.

It's just that, if it counts, he's been working at my house for four years, my mom used to like him so much, what exactly did he do wrong, that my grandfather fired him?

Unfortunately other than Melisa as a plaintiff, like no one knows clearly the actual problem.

Perhaps, the actions that Melisa did, were the main key to why she became a victim.

It seems like this matter is related to my mother, or related to my grandfather.

Erick said: We have also visited people close to your grandfather, but they did not really understand the problems at that time, the most important of which was the problems of your grandfather's family, so that others did not care much...... If it was like this, the case would be solved again, I thought, maybe I should go to your house once again, go back to check the main problem.

I certainly did not refuse.
