Ou Jue had tried many methods and consulted numerous resources, but he still had no leads. It was as if the thing he was searching for did not truly exist, but was merely a collective delusion. Yet, because of this unseen object, his parents had been attacked, their family business of many years had been destroyed in an instant, and his entire family had been torn apart. He would not be able to rest, even in death, if he did not find it.
His phone rang, snapping him out of his thoughts. Ou Jue glanced down; it was a call from Lin Jiacheng. Thinking of the friend far away abroad who had been so supportive, Ou Jue’s expression softened slightly. "Hello, it’s me."
It was evening for Lin Jiacheng. He had just come out of the hospital after visiting Ou Jue’s father. Knowing Ou Jue was all alone in the country, he had decided to call and check on him. "How are things? Is everything going smoothly over there?"
