Mr Wang wiped his tear stained cheeks as Liu Yong placed the recording device into his suit pocket, both men sat in silence while Mr Wang collected himself. Once there were no tears falling, Liu Yong asked a few questions. "Did you ever see Fan Lei again, or his assistant?"

"No, even after we found out about Xiao She's passing we searched for them but we found nothing." Liu Yong sat back in his chair, Mrs Wang came back into the house holding two cases and a small pouch, both cases looked as if they had just been dug out of the damp dirt outside. "Take these with you, we don't want them."

Liu Yong stood up and took the things from the fragile looking woman before asking for the address they met Fan Lei at, after getting all the information he needed Liu Yong left the small house and walked back to his car. A small group of elderly women had crowded around the passenger side of the car holding various snacks and gifts. Liu Yong got closer and heard the old ladies coaxing Zhou RenShu to open the window for them. "He's so cute, let granny see you properly."

"Why would he open the window for your ugly face, I have sweet cakes little one, you can have the whole plate." Liu Yong clicked the button to unlock the back storage of the car, the elederly women all turned and saw Liu Yong but paid him no attention as they continued to try and spoil Zhou RenShu. Inside the car Zhou RenShu waved lightly at the bickering women.

"Mr, why won't this little boy take our snacks?" Liu Yong closed the boot of the car and walked to the drivers doors, unlocking the car. "See if he wants them now."

The elderly women all tapped on the window almost scaring Zhou RenShu, he shyly pressed the button for the window and soon hoards of snacks were shoved into his skinny arms, various hands pinched his pale cheeks too. "He's even cuter without the glass blocking his face."

"Little one, will you be visiting granny again?" Zhou RenShu couldn't speak as multiple hands pinched his cheeks, leaving red marks. Liu Yong sat down in his seat and turned the car on, the elderly women were quick to react as they snatched their hands out of the window, if they had reacted any slower their arms would no longer be attached to their bodies.

"Do you want a custard bun Liu Yong?" A soft bun was held by Liu Yong's jaw, Zho RenShu had already eaten a bun himself in the few seconds it took to get back on the road. Liu Yong took the bun and held it while driving with one hand, when he changed gears, he would let go of the wheel, scaring Zhou RenShu. "Eh, I'll hold it for you."

On the quick drive to the building where everything happened, Zhou RenShu fed Liu Yong various snacks while eating his full as well. After finding the building, the area had obviously changed a lot from all those years ago. All the buildings in the area were tens of stories high and filled with businessmen and women. Liu Yong parked the car and told Zhou RenShu to stay as he walked up the short concrete steps to the entrance of the building, he had no official seal so he could only enter if security allowed it. "Sir, what are you here for?"

Liu Yong looked up to see this building was now an accounting company for large corporations. "I have a meeting, a worker was going to meet me in reception."

The security opened the door and watched as Liu Yong walked to the front desk, seeing the woman talking respectfully to Liu Yong, the security guard didn't bother with him any longer. Inside Liu Yong politely greeted the reception staff. "Hello beautiful ladies, I need some help today. Are you willing to help me?"

Both women blushed as they nodded their heads. "Thank you, I'm a building historian and am currently researching the oldest buildings in S city. I believe this could be one of the first buildings built when this city was first occupied. How long has this company resided here and is this the only company to own this building?"
