Yibo POV

"Inspector Bowen?" Zhange asked. Inspector? Why is he here? Inspector Bowen looked me carefully in the face and said...

"When I heard that the victim in my case had regained consciousness, I came to see him. My main purpose is to gather information from him regarding the case. Can you....?" 

He asked me to know if I was in the mood to answer his questions. I looked at Zhange's face first. He must have noticed my face and came to my side and held my hands.

"If you are comfortable then you can answer him now ,otherwise we will arrange a meeting when you are okey." I smiled at Zhange.

"I'm okay" Zhange nodded and the officer take seat opposite of mine.

"You must have known that the person named Xiuan is in absconding right now?" I nodded. "A case has been registered against him for attempting to kidnap you as per the complaint of Mr. Xiao. We have got the CCTV footage which is the evidence in the case and also the statement of the doctor who was present at the scene. What we need to know is, did you see him before the kidnapping? Was he threatened you or do something?"

I shook my head no. Because I came to know about the kidnapping after regaining consciousness. After the nurse gave me the medicine, my eyes began to feel sleepy. I struggled to keep my eyes open as Zhange went to buy ice cream and I don't know when I fell asleep in the meantime.

The officer then asked a series of questions to find out what events would lead to this case. I told everything I knew. The officer then talks to Cheng Gege and Zhange. Since I was not interested in their discussion, I went to the study room and knew that Uncle would be there.

After knocking on the door and entering, Uncle asked, "Are you alone? Where's A-Zhan?"

"Zhange and Cheng Gege talking to the inspector." I told him.

"Ahh... right.." He nodded knowingly. "Come... let me show you something" He got up from his chair and walked over to nearby shelf and took an old album from it and handed it to me. "Do you want to see your parents?" My eyes widened at that question, I nodded excitedly, "It's our old memories."

I took the album in my hand and sat on the sofa next to me and flipped through the pages. Uncle and his wife, my parents, the photo of Zhange and me when we were young, uncle told me one by one when all the photos were taken.

After talking to the officer, Zhange was late to come, so I flipped through the album again. My eyes started to water again when I saw the many photos taken of my parents in their happy moments.

Zhange opened the study room door and came in rush. He came to me and hugged me tightly. I could hear his panicked heartbeat. Did he come running to see me? "I thought you would be in the room, why did you come here alone?" Ahh.... now I understand why he is panicked. Pulling away from the hug, Zhange took my face in his palm. "Are you crying? Did he say something again?"

God! Zhange again? He misunderstood uncle again. He always seems to be in a fighting mood with his father.

"No.. No... Uncle didn't say anything"

A wrinkle appeared on his forehead. It's my fault! I know what process is going on in his head. I accidentally pronounced 'uncle' in front of him. He may be wondering when I started calling his father uncle.
