My Beloved

After fidgeting for a while Mu Laquan said, "Pretty sister, I have something to say to you."

Han Luo became interested. "What is it?"

"Umm… actually… Pretty sister, when we were leaving the hospital, I saw a suspicious guy looking at a specific window of a room. It was the room where we met you.

"He stared at the window and mumbled something. Later, he threw away a bouquet of red roses in the bin and left.

"At first, I didn't feel suspicious but the more I thought about it, the weirder it seemed. We didn't have a network on the island. I wanted to tell you as soon as we were on the plane."

"Thank you so much for telling me. I'll send you a picture and let me know if that's the guy you saw." She was touched by his kindness. She planned to send Qi Ting's photo to him.

"All right!" Mu Laquan nodded.

She couldn't help asking, "Are you reading too many detective books? Why did you think he was suspicious?"

Mu Laquan replied, "That's because he was acting suspiciously. A visitor never acts this way. Pretty sister, tell me, did you break a man's heart or something?"

Han Luo burst into laughter. "No, you silly. No one ever proposed to me except for your brother Yuan."

Mu Laquan frowned. "He is not my brother. He is an ugly guy."

Han Luo choked. She tried to imagine Mo Yuan as an ugly guy, but she couldn't. However, she had to go along with the little fellow who seemed to be upset.

"All right, ugly guy is it."

Mu Laquan wanted to speak more but he was interrupted by his second elder brother. 

Mu Ling pushed his brother away and came to the screen. "Pretty sister, I missed you."

Grinning, Han Luo sang alone, "Xiao Ling, I missed you too. How was the trip?"

Mu Ling clutched his hurt, pretended to be depressed, "How can I have fun without my pretty sister? If you are not there, everything seems like a desert."

Han Luo wanted to laugh out loud, but she held back. 'How can this ten year old kid have a honey mouth? What will he do when he grows up?' she wondered. 

"Is that so? Then, next time, remember to take me with you. I haven't had a vacation for a long time."

Mu Ling vigorously nodded his head. "Definitely! Anyway, the guy who was suspiciously hanging around, his identity has been confirmed. Mom helped us to find him.

"His name is Alexander Jones. He is a total bully. I don't like him at all. He gives off the villain aura." His expression showed disdain. 

Han Luo was relatively surprised. Although she guessed it wouldn't be Qi Ting with a bouquet of red roses, she definitely didn't expect Alex. 

Alex was indeed a bully. She never harmed him and yet, he tried to get on her nerves every single time. He even teamed up with Larry several times to take her down.

There could be only one explanation – Alex didn't come to her. He was planning to give this bouquet of roses to someone else.

"Thank you for telling me that information, Xiao Ling. Please thank your mother for me. It was a great help."

Mu Ling proudly responded, "It's nothing. If I can't do at least this much for my pretty sister, then I should change my name entirely."

'What a silver tongue!' Han Luo chuckled. "Don't forget to visit me when you come to London. I have to tell others about this information. See you soon!"

"See ya!"

After hanging up the call, she laid down once again. Although she was tired, she couldn't fall asleep. 

She thought of her father and decided to check up on him. After the third ring, Han Ying Wei answered her call.

"Luo'er, did you reach China? That was fast."

"No, daddy. I'm still on the plane. How are you feeling? Still a headache?"

"No, I'm feeling better after resting for two days. Luo'er, I've started remembering about the accident. It was Qi Ting. The man who murdered your mommy is Qi Ting. I can remember him grinning at us when he deliberately collided with us."

Han Luo's heart tightened. She knew Han Ying Wei couldn't remember the accident as it left a trauma. 

'Could it be this Qi Ting guy triggered daddy's memory?' she wondered.

"Daddy, Are you sure? There is no mistake, right? It was him." She didn't realize that her tone was rising. 

"I remember clearly. There is no doubt. It was him. Back then, he was still in his twenties. He was a good friend of Xiao Cheng. Father also favored him because of how talented he was."

Han Luo stated coldly, "No matter how talented a person is, it has no value if they use it for harming others. So, do you think he was doing this because youngest uncle told him to?"

Her youngest uncle, Han Cheng, was someone she didn't like. That guy never cared for her after that accident. 

The first time they met, he tried to marry her off to the Smith family's eldest son. She hadn't scored with him yet.

Han Ying Wei recollected, "I still remember how close Qi Ting's relationship was with your uncle. Do you think Xiao Cheng is related to drugs? Even Inspector Noah thinks so."

He sounded pitiful when he spoke. It clenched Han Luo's heart.

"We have no evidence. I'll ask Noah to look into it. Rest assured. I'll bring mommy's murderer to justice," she swore.

"Be careful, Luo'er. Stay with Noah and Sheng Ming. You are going to the enemy's den. Don't stay alone."

"I know dad. Wait for me. It won't take long."

After talking to her father, Han Luo got up from the bed and went to where others were.

She didn't enter the room when she heard Qi Ting's painful cry.

'What are they doing?' she pondered. Imagining blood in Qi Ting's mouth, she shuddered. She did not want to go inside.

From the doorway, she called out, "Noah, are you there? I've got something to talk about."
