Jin Xiangdong heard Lu Jia'er speaking about her past when she was unable to see or hear . He did not feel sorry for her when she was without the ability to hear or see and she did not need him to be sorry for her . But her past did make his heart ache . At the same time, he admired her for her perseverance . The willpower she had to build during her life was beyond the abilities of ordinary people to manifest . If she had not been in that car accident, she would not have turned into an AI, Jin Xiangdong was convinced that she could create miracles by herself .

Jin Xiangdong held Lu Jia'er's hand, their fingers crossed . The warmth from his hand pa.s.sed into the palm of her hand and then spread, bit by bit, to her heart .

Lu Jia'er turned to look at him and smiled . That smile was embedded in Jin Xiangdong's eyes and rippled through him like tides .

Then, the two of them went to the parking lot and got into a business purpose vehicle . While they were flying to Los Angeles, Jin Xiangdong's secretary had already settled everything, including picking accommodations .

The driver who picked them up had an oriental look, tall and strong . The black T-s.h.i.+rt and brown casual pants gave him a stylish look . He spoke familiarly in Chinese . “Mr . Jin, are you going to the hotel directly?”

“Take us to this place first . ” Jin Xiangdong handed the address to the driver as he gave them instructions .

The driver glanced at the address and drove to the location Jin Xiangdong told him .

On the way, Lu Jia'er said nothing . She leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes, recalling her past . Back then, she could not hear, nor see . All she could rely on was smell and touch . Whenever she was in a moving vehicle, all those senses would be diminished . However, back then, she had noted down all the traffic lights from her foster parent's home to the airport .

At that moment, the car stopped . Lu Jia'er opened her eyes slowly . Just as she expected, it was a traffic light . She looked through the window but the view she found was not familiar .

Yes, it was unfamiliar indeed . She had been living here for over a decade . However, for Lu Jia'er back then, the world was dark, without any color .

Jin Xiangdong knew what she was doing . So, he sat there quietly without disturbing her . But ever since they came out of the airport, he had noticed some cars tracking them . Jin Xiangdong took out his laptop and was tapping on the keyboard .

The driver noticed something and said, “Mr . Jin, a car is following us . ”

Jin Xiangdong glanced sideways at the back of the driver's head . “I know . ” Jin Xiangdong said calmly .

Hearing this, Lu Jia'er whispered to Jin Xiangdong without looking back at the car . “They are from the Ministry of State Security . ”

Jin Xiangdong nodded and pointed to the laptop . Lu Jia'er threw a look at the screen . She did not realize that Jin Xiangdong was looking up that car's information .

Then, Lu Jia'er kept her voice down again . “That car in front of us with a license plate number of 330 is also tracking us . ”

Jin Xiangdong exchanged eye contact with Lu Jia'er . He looked up and indeed, there was a car with a license plate number of 330 .

Usually, the ones tracking them would be behind them . If the car in front of them was also tracing them, then their whereabouts were clearly understood by the other party .

Lu Jia'er went on, “They should have copied our course . ”

Jin Xiangdong looked at the driver who was using the GPS on his phone . If he was right, Jin Xiangdong believed the driver's phone had been compromised .

However, Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia'er did not let the driver turn off the GPS . They pretended that they were unaware and just let the driver follow the GPS .

Luckily, Lu Jia'er held back a trick . The destination the driver was heading to was not the park Lu Jia'er mentioned, but the past residence of her foster parents .

When the car was parked in front of the detached villa, Lu Jia'er looked through the window . Her muscles began to stiffen uncontrollably .

What happened that night was still vivid in her mind as if it was yesterday .

Jin Xiangdong noticed something wrong . He asked in a gentle voice, “What is it?”

Lu Jia'er looked away slowly and said, “I wonder where my foster father is and how he is doing . ”

While looking back on that night made Lu Jia'er uncomfortable, she did want to know about her foster dad . But the villa must have been unoccupied for a long time given the messy state of gra.s.s in front of the house .

“I can ask the neighbors . ” Jin Xiangdong proposed .

Lu Jia'er shook her head . “It's not necessary . ”

Lu Jia'er sounded normal but Jin Xiangdong could tell clearly that Lu Jia'er was fighting to keep her voice under control . But her concern was reasonable . If neighbors saw her, they would be freaked out and regard her as a ghost .

“Then should we go back to the hotel now?” Jin Xiangdong asked .

Lu Jia'er thought about it and said, “No . There is a big supermarket three kilometers away . There is a gas station not far away from the supermarket and they have car was.h.i.+ng services . We can buy something from the supermarket and then go to the gas station!”

Jin Xiangdong immediately caught onto what Lu Jia'er was implying . So, he told the driver to head that way .

An hour later, Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia'er were driving a Cayenne to the park in the picture Ian sent to her .

They had ditched the cars tracing them . But soon, the pursuers would notice something was off . So, Jin Xiangdong and Lu Jia'er did not have much time .

Hints of spring were still very much in the air in the park, unlike in the picture when it was golden in color . The sun was s.h.i.+elded by the flouris.h.i.+ng trees and leaves . While it was scorching summer, it was cool here .

Lu Jia'er soon found that bench and the maple grove behind the bench . Lu Jia'er stepped five to six meters into the grove . A moment of searching later, she said, “This should be it . ”

Jin Xiangdong hurried to her side . Lu Jia'er had squatted down and she was fondling the gra.s.s-covered ground .

All of a sudden, Lu Jia'er stopped her actions . Then, she lifted up a piece of turf and the dirt seemed to have been touched .

Jin Xiangdong said, “Let me . ”

Jin Xiangdong dug up the dirt . Something was hiding under indeed . Jin Xiangdong picked up the item that was tightly wrapped .

Lu Jia'er, who was next to him, blinked . Jin Xiangdong handed the object to Lu Jia'er .

Lu Jia'er did not open it at once . Instead, she helped Jin Xiangdong fill the hole, laid down the turf and hurried away with the box .

They did not go back to the Cayenne . Rather, they left from another exit of the park and hailed a taxi .

In the taxi, Lu Jia'er opened the package after she observed it for a few seconds .

It was an iron, square candy box . She opened the lid . There were two cards in it and a letter .

Naturally, the card was put in there by her and Ian together in the past . The letter, on the other hand, should be a new addition .

Lu Jia'er took out the envelope at once . Yet, it was empty . Nothing was in there .

Lu Jia'er could not understand . “An empty envelope?”

Jin Xiangdong took the envelope from her and checked . Indeed, he saw nothing inside .

“If Ian was the one that put it here, it would not be empty!” Lu Jia'er shared her thoughts .

Jin Xiangdong agreed with her . “If that is the case, then the letter must have been taken away . That person left the envelope here just to let us know that they have the letter . ”

Lu Jia'er nodded, in a trance . “Yes . ”

Jin Xiangdong stared at the empty envelope for a few seconds . Then, he took over the square candy box and flickered the bottom of the box .

Lu Jia'er looked at him . Jin Xiangdong took out the cards in the box and extended his hand to Lu Jia'er . “Give me a mag card”

“A mag card?” Lu Jia'er was confused as to his intention .

“A members.h.i.+p card or bank card . ” Jin Xiangdong added .

Hearing this, Lu Jia'er immediately took out a scorecard for a mall from her purse and handed it to Jin Xiangdong .

Jin Xiangdong took over the card . He fumbled around and then the bottom of the box was pried open .

Lu Jia'er seemed to realize something . Jin Xiangdong took away the bottom lid . There was a hidden layer in the box and a piece of paper was placed there .

Jin Xiangdong picked up the piece of paper found at the bottom of the box and Lu Jia'er took it from him . She opened the paper and saw 11 digits written on it .

Looking at this number, Lu Jia'er's eyebrows were knitted together . “Is this a phone number?”

“Let me see . ” Jin Xiangdong reached out and held the paper . He used his cell phone to dial the 11 digits .

However, he found out that this was not a telephone number . A moment of pondering later, Jin Xiangdong arrived at the truth . “This is not a phone number, but a set of coordinates . ”

Lu Jia'er leaned over and checked the digits . “Yes, these are coordinates!” She nodded .

Jin Xiangdong tried to search for the location of this coordinate using his cell phone . Before he could read the location clearly, he heard a loud noise .

Lu Jia'er, who was in the back seat with him, was thrown forward due to the impact .

The rear-wheels of the taxi lost control . Following another blare, the taxi b.u.mped into the car in front of it . Then, the back of the taxi rose up to the sky, as though it had jumped before it fell down to the ground .

Pain and dizziness were the only things Jin Xiangdong could feel . He felt as though his sight was like a camera placed upside down . Though his vision was blurred, he could still see well enough to spot a trace of bright red blood on Lu Jia'er's forehead as she lay in his arms .

That bright red blood spread out slowly, like a jar of wine spilling onto the ground, and tainted his white s.h.i.+rt .

His looks were cast outside unintentionally . There was another pair of feet outside the window and the legs were in suit pants . In a state of confusion, Jin Xiangdong saw someone squatting down . Then, he saw a pair of eyes with sharp looks . Jin Xiangdong's eyes looked directly into that pair of eyes and they made eye contact just as blood filled with air…
