Baby sis… Wait, no! My baby sis can’t be this young! She also wouldn’t have this kind of… cynical and arrogant look.’
He heard the young woman’s voice ring out. “Nice to meet you, Uncle. I am Gu Nan, Cheng Su’s daughter.”
“Nice to meet you, Uncle. I am Gu Nan, Cheng Su’s daughter.” Those words seemed like they had been set on repeat in Cheng Song’s mind as he stared dumbly at Shi Sheng. ‘She called me Uncle. She’s… my baby sister’s kid???’
Cheng Song found that he couldn’t say anything. Though there were a lot of questions on his mind, they wouldn’t come out of his mouth.
‘With those features… she’s definitely my baby sis’ kid. She looks like my baby sis did when she was a kid.’
“You… really are Xiaosu’s daughter?” Cheng Song finally managed to get a question out after what seemed like ages. His voice was trembling as his gaze fixed itself to her.
Shi Sheng shrugged. “Nothing I can do if you don’t believe me.” ‘I don’t have any keepsakes on me and we can’t exactly go for DNA testing right now, so whether he believes me or not is up to him.’
Cheng Song, “…” ‘Weren’t you the one who came to recognise relatives? How come you have such an indifferent expression?!’
Cheng Song didn’t have any evidence but if she really was his little sister’s kid then he couldn’t just leave it be. And he did believe she was his little sister’s child. Sometimes, blood relations can be a mysterious thing; it can allow two complete strangers to feel familiarity with each other.
“Your name is Gu Nan?” Cheng Song felt like this name was familiar but he couldn’t recall where he had heard it. ‘Xiaosu actually got married and had a kid… Then doesn’t that mean…’
Cheng Song felt extremely excited; his gaze at Shi Sheng had turned more ardent as well.
“En.” Shi Sheng nodded casually. “I believe my famous name and appearance are currently hanging outside of this base.”
Cheng Song immediately recalled where he had heard her name after getting her reminder. ‘Wasn’t that dangerous person B City mentioned named… Gu Nan?’
The safety of the base was governed by the military so although he had some information, he hadn’t gotten time to look at it yet. He had heard this name from his subordinates. Cheng Song couldn’t understand why such a young girl was being classified as a dangerous person.
“I never knew Xiaosu had a kid…” Cheng Song seemed to be muttering to himself. He took a deep breath before looking at Shi Sheng and asking in a trembling voice, “Since you’re Xiaosu’s kid, then you must know where she is, right?”
Shi Sheng frowned slightly. ‘The Cheng Family doesn’t know where Cheng Su went either?’
And, as expected, Cheng Song didn’t know Cheng Su’s whereabouts either. 17 years ago, she had sent them one final letter before all contact broke off. The Cheng Family had been looking for her all these years but hadn’t gotten any leads.
“Can I see the letter?”
Cheng Song hesitated a bit before walking to the other side of the study and opening a secret compartment. He took out a letter and handed it over to Shi Sheng. The letter had been preserved well. One could see how much the Cheng Family cared about Cheng Su.
There wasn’t anything special about the letter. It seemed like a normal letter to home. It reassured them she was safe. But two locations were mentioned. D County and Mt. Jinfeng1. Wasn’t it strange that a letter to home would mention that the scenery in these two places were rather pleasant?
