After finishing his work at the company, Gu Siting got into the car and got ready to go home.
Because he hadn’t had a good rest for the past few days, his eyes were very red.
Kuroda Shio closed the car door and got into the driver’s seat. He looked at the exhausted and haggard person in the backseat through the rearview mirror.
“President Gu, do you want to buy some sleeping pills? You haven’t been feeling well recently.”
He knew that because the person he had promised to meet had not appeared, he had been anxious for many days.
Coupled with the company’s work, his physical condition was not very good.
Gu Siting massaged his temples and asked, “Is there still no news about the person I asked you to find?”
“Not yet,” Kuroda Shio replied.
Honestly speaking, it was impossible for him to find the person whom he was referring to.
None of them had seen the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl’s owner before, and so they did not know what he looked like.
He only told them that he was a Chinese man with black hair and pale skin. There were no other mentioned characteristics.
There were so many black-haired Chinese men. Where could they find the one they were looking for?
Gu Siting let out a deep sigh. It had been almost half a month and the person who should have come to find him had not shown up.
If he could not get any more information about Weiwei, Cayman Dorrans would come to A Land, and he would not hesitate to bring her back this time.
Kuroda Shio looked behind him through the rearview mirror. He knew that it was because that person had yet to appear and tell him about Miss Weiwei.
However, no one had seen the person he was talking about.
In fact, he didn’t even know if that person really existed.
Was it because he couldn’t accept Miss Weiwei’s death that he thought she could still live?
Thus, as time passed, he began to believe that it was true.
After all, what he said was too shocking for ordinary people to actually believe.
However, he had firmly believed it the entire time, and was waiting for the so-called Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl’s master.
Although he suspected that there was no master of the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl, he knew that even if he said it now, Gu Siting would not be able to listen to him.
Gu Siting looked at the passing scenery outside the car window. His eyes were dead and still, as if nothing could break the silence.
The two of them returned to the Gu residence. Ling Yan, who had been waiting in the living room for him to get off work every day, had finally stopped showing up today.
Kuroda Shio asked the butler, “Where is Miss Ling Yan?”
“She went out in the afternoon,” the butler said truthfully.
“Did she go shopping or move out?” Kuroda Shio asked.
Previously, President Gu had mentioned canceling the engagement, but this Miss Ling had still stayed in the Gu family and refused to leave. It seemed like she was unwilling to accept the ending of the engagement.
“Her luggage is still in the room. She just went out,” the butler replied.
Gu Siting was not in the mood to listen anymore and was ready to go upstairs.
“A letter was delivered today, sir,” the butler recalled, removing the envelope from his collar pocket. “Someone said it was addressed to you.”
“For me.” Gu Siting took the envelope and was a bit surprised.
In an era where communication was so advanced, did anyone still need to write to him?
He took the letter upstairs to the study and tore open the envelope, only to discover that it was a handwritten letter.
The content of the letter was very simple: I have some matters to attend to. Please postpone our meeting for a month. Please forgive me. I will definitely visit you before the end of the month.
There was only one word at the bottom of the letter, signing it off: Gu.
Gu Siting’s hands trembled as he held the letter. He remembered that the man… the Chinese man who had given him the Nine-Eyed Pearl was also surnamed Gu.
